Chapter Nine Hundred and Fifty Seven Armies of the Sea, Air and Air

The development of express delivery is very simple. Usually, more than a dozen salesmen are recruited in the same city, and they go to other people’s shops every day to hang around, receive goods, and then send them out on electric bicycles.

If it is a medium-sized company running business in the province, it can run with a few more cars.

Expanding to the whole country, each province is subcontracted, and the goods are entrusted by the aircraft to be sent out, and the subcontractors over there can receive the goods and then send them out.

In the future, on the land of Huaguo, tens of thousands of courier companies, large and small, will be able to live relatively well, which is why.

However, Xiao Qi wants to do the best, so he can't be so sloppy.

First of all, the first point is definitely not to contract out various business locations, so many things are not within the scope of my control, and it is too easy to damage my reputation if something happens.

In the future, why the grades of express delivery such as Shentong, Tiantian, Yuantong, and Yunda are not high, probably have this factor.

And for those who do well, such as Shunfeng, hl, feex, ups, each branch is its own direct-sale store, unified management and standardized management, it is easy to form brand awareness and grow bigger and better.

In order to become a top express company, apart from Xiao Qi's first large-scale enclosure and construction of a logistics park, there is another equally important condition - a good transportation network! [

A successful transportation network includes the three major elements of sea, land and air.

"Sea" refers to the sea of ​​people tactics, that is, the army of electric bicycles and electric tricycles in each city forms the ocean of the people's war, extending the tentacles of delivery and collection to every corner of the city.

"Land" is naturally land transportation, mainly short- and medium-distance truck transportation, usually the smallest range is between cities. The largest range is the surrounding provinces.

"Empty" refers to the plane, and it is best to use a dedicated cargo plane, which is far faster and more convenient than you and other couriers competing for the little space under the belly of the passenger plane. It is also the biggest secret why Shunfeng Express can stand out from the crowd.

Both "sea" and "land" are easy to handle.

Courier personnel have started large-scale training in North China and Jiangnan, with hands-on teaching from Japanese logistics experts. Once they come out, they will be of much higher quality than ordinary couriers.

Drivers and cars for land transportation are also very easy to do. As long as you have money and good benefits, a huge logistics fleet will appear in front of you.

The key is on the plane.

Now there are many domestic private airlines. After the large-scale reorganization and reform of the domestic civil aviation industry in 2002 and the sharp drop in air freight rates in 2003, private airlines have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

But until today, 5 years later, their life is very difficult. Like other industries, government departments are giving priority to taking care of their sons. Therefore, factors such as scale, routes, allocation of resources, and control have restricted the development of most private aviation.

Even East Star Airlines will collapse next year, followed by Okay Airways, etc., will also be ordered to suspend business for rectification and go bankrupt.

However, what Xiao Qi wants to do is not a private passenger airline, but a specialized cargo airline.

Shunfeng Express is at the forefront. In 2003, they took advantage of the Civil Aviation Administration to lower the price of each air route, and they leased two planes of Yangzijiang Express. Started to deliver goods for own express in Guangdong, Dongfang and Lin'an.

However, Shunfeng Express simply didn't realize the next few years. How crazy will the development of Huaguo's express delivery industry be, so now they have only rented five cargo planes to deliver the goods.

What Xiao Qi admires most is the operation of large-scale and large-scale funds. [

From the very beginning, it will be vigorous and vigorous, and quickly occupy the market, and then slowly encircle and suppress other express delivery industries, becoming the leader of domestic express delivery.

That's why he spent more than 450 billion crazily hoarding land to build a logistics park.

Airplanes are naturally something that Xiao Qi will consider.

Starting next month at the latest. The logistics base of Xiaoyao Express is about to start construction.

After the initial logistics base is completed, there are still five months at most before the Xiaoyao Express between cities will start to operate.

At that time, the plane should have arrived in Huaguo and started to be handed over to the cargo airline established by Xiao Qi. Slowly try to deliver express items quickly in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

For this reason, among the land reserves in Xiao Qi's hands, he has bought dozens of acres of land around almost every important airport in the country, preparing to build a distribution center and quickly distribute them to various cities and regions.

The only thing that is not under Xiao Qi's control now is the plane itself.

Buying a brand new cargo plane is definitely the best, but the cost is very high, so just like many young people in foreign countries buy a car, if you want to buy it, you should buy a second-hand one first and use it later.

Listening to Xiao Qi talking about the idea of ​​wanting to do freight logistics, Branson, who has long known UPS, HL, FEEX and other companies, immediately understood what he meant.

"This is easy to handle. There are a large number of second-hand aircraft scrapped in Europe and the United States every year. We don't need to buy retired second-hand aircraft. However, aircraft that are two or three years away from retirement are still very good in performance and cheap. After refitting at the efw factory in Germany, If you take good care of it, it will definitely not be a problem if you use it for three to five years." Branson suggested to Xiao Qi in this way.

"In terms of maintenance, you have to help me train a group of people." Xiao Qi said.

It is the most reassuring to have your own personnel to maintain and overhaul the aircraft.

However, foreign aircraft maintenance technology is suspected to be very high.

The study of Virgin Atlantic is only the first step. In the future, Xiao Qi will send more technicians to domestic and European airlines to study and study technology, and strive to create world-class technicians just like our rocket R&D team. Come.

"No problem, tell them to go to my company for further study. I heard that you Chinese people are the most hardworking, and I will have another batch of free laborers." Branson said unequivocally.

Xiao Qi laughed when he heard that, capitalists are capitalists, and they will still take advantage of them when there is a bargain.

But it is also right to consider it as tuition fees, and it is good to subsidize those workers here.

As Branson said, Chinese people learn things the fastest and most earnestly, and their ability to imitate is super strong. Otherwise, there would not be so many counterfeit products to attack the world.

"Get me ten at the beginning, and deliver them within half a year." Xiao Qi said, "I hope the cargo capacity can reach more than 40 tons."

"No problem, the 300b4 has a cargo capacity of 43 tons, and the second-hand price of a good quality is about 35 million US dollars. efw only has 22-25 refits a year. Although the 300b4 is already a cargo aircraft, it still needs For further modification, you want it within half a year, the modification fee and the expedited fee are added together, and I am afraid that one will cost 2 million." Branson calculated the price.

"Tomorrow, I will transfer the money to your account and entrust you with full authority to handle it." Xiao Qi said proudly, "After half a year, I want to see them all land on the airport in Huaguo!"

"Haha, Qi Shao, you are really refreshing!" Branson laughed, "This courier company has not yet been established, and the cost investment is so high, it seems that you want to wrestle with several major courier companies! "

"Each country has its own market." Xiao Qi said with a firm expression, "Although they have achieved success all over the world, it doesn't mean that I can't defeat them in China!"

Branson nodded, how can you do business without a bit of arrogance?

Xiao Qi's character of not being afraid just suits his wishes.

The two had already reached a consensus on the support and the plane, and Branson felt more at ease in his heart: "Then, look at our cooperation..."

Xiao Qi said seriously, "Let the people below them go to negotiate, if there is no major problem, you will be my partner!"

"great!"

Branson waved his fist excitedly.

With remp's shares, he can go to a higher level in terms of wealth and prestige! (to be continued...)
