Chapter 1501: Pressure

Just as Yuan Chengdao and the others were having a meeting, Li Dong's family had already arrived at Minghu.

Since 2008, Li Dong ordered a private jet shortly after founding Yuanfang Airlines.

However, the plane is different from other means of transportation. It usually takes a long time from placing an order to getting the plane.

Li Dong's private jet can be obtained in about half a year, not because of the faster speed, but because the plane he ordered was originally abandoned by others.

Affected by the economic crisis in 2008, some tycoons went bankrupt and some were short of money.

Some people paid the deposit before, but later, due to various reasons, they voluntarily or were forced to give up the private jet they ordered.

Few of the abandoned planes, although new, were delivered.

But for tycoons who can afford private jets, they are generally not willing to buy second-hand goods, even if these unused second-hand goods are much cheaper than new ones.

This cheap price is not a discount given by the aircraft manufacturer, but the tycoons who paid the deposit before. After giving up, the deposit cannot be returned.

In order to be able to sell the aircraft in their hands, the manufacturer usually counts the deposit paid by the former as a discount and gives it to the receiver.

However, many tycoons actually have taboos, unless they are really urgent, otherwise not many are willing to take advantage of this.

Li Dong didn't think much about this taboo, and at the end of last year, he really had too many things to do, and he was eager to get the plane delivered as soon as possible.

So what he took over was the Gulfstream G550 ordered by an unknown local tycoon in 2007.

In 2009, although the Gulfstream G650 had already been developed and even had a test machine, it had not been officially put into production at this time, and the G550 was regarded as a relatively high-end business jet.

Moreover, the Gulfstream G550 is also very popular at the moment, and many tycoons own private jets of the G550 model.

Like Wanda Laowang, Changjiang Lao Li, Hengji Lao Li, New World Lao Zheng, including the future Ma Yun, Fanhai Lu Ziqiang, Baidu Li Yanhong, and even Guomei's Lao Huang family...

These people, now or in the future, will buy G550 business jets.

Being recognized by so many bigwigs also means that its practicality and safety are both recognized and guaranteed.

Li Dong sometimes likes to be independent, but when it comes to personal safety, he generally doesn't do anything special.

Since everyone thinks that the G550 is good, and this thing flies in the sky, when Lan Xingguo suggested him to buy this model, Li Dong did not refuse.

...

Airport.

Li Dong and his family came to see the plane. Although Lan Xingguo was overwhelmed by many things today, he personally accompanied Li Dong and his party to the airport to observe the private plane that had just arrived in China.

While walking around the plane, Lan Xingguo introduced: "The G550 has a total length of 29.4 meters, a wingspan of 28.5 meters, and a height of 7.9 meters.

It can carry 18 passengers, the cabin is 2.24 meters wide, 1.88 meters high, and the cabin is 15.3 meters long.

The range is more than 11,000 kilometers, and it has the capability of intercontinental flight.

In China, it is even easier to reach anywhere. The longest distance between north and south in China is 5,500 kilometers, and the distance between east and west is 5,200 kilometers.

Therefore, in China, the voyage is not a problem, the key is that the application and registration of the route is somewhat troublesome.

You said before that you want to build a private parking area at Pingchuan Mountain Villa. This application is relatively difficult.

But it's not hopeless, the government still has some preferential policies for distant places.

You will have a lot of business going on, and it is normal to travel around the world. In the name of Yuanfang Airlines, it is still feasible to apply for a small temporary stop.

Even if you can't pass, you can rent an apron at Xinqiao Airport, which is not too far away from you. "

Lan Xingguo explained briefly. In fact, he had told Li Dong about these things before.

However, Boss Li has been saying that he is old now,

His memory is not as good as before, and he often forgets things, so Lan Xingguo had to repeat it again.

Although he, an old man over sixty years old, didn't say that his memory is declining, but who is the boss? If he says he doesn't remember, then just pretend he doesn't remember.

However, Li Dong was not very interested in these. He looked around and asked, "How much did you spend in total?"

Lan Xingguo glanced at him, did you really forget or do you want me to report less to make you happy?

Although he was slandering in his heart, Lan Xingguo didn't delay, and replied: "The plane is affiliated with Yuanfang Airlines. Yuanfang Airlines has some tax rebate policies, including some deposits paid by the buyer before, which are also converted into discount.

All kinds of expenses are counted and converted into RMB, the total is about 280 million. "

"It's about the same. I remember you said it was about 400 million before. You see, business depends on how to negotiate.

Talking about it, one plane saves 100 million yuan, and the money is saved every penny..."

Lan Xingguo couldn't laugh or cry: "The previous 400 million was just an offer..."

After a few simple explanations, Lan Xingguo didn't bother to explain, and said, "Why don't you go in and have a look?

The space in the cabin is not small, there is a bathroom and a kitchen.

At the beginning, Mr. Shen made some improvements, and later added a small bar..."

After Lan Xingguo talked for a while, Li Dong came naturally, it was impossible to just walk around outside, and everyone entered the cabin together by stepping on the gangway.

The internal space of the G550 is not small, with an area of ​​about 40 square meters.

In some big cities, it is not uncommon for a dozen people to live in a 40-square-meter house. If it is replaced by a university dormitory, it is almost as big as two dormitories.

After all, it is not an underground house. In the air, there is such a large private space. Except for local tyrants like Li Dong and other high-ranking civil servants, no one else would even think about such a good thing.

Shen Qian and Li Dong are okay, after all, they are well-informed, and it is not uncommon for them to take a private jet. Although the interior decoration is considered luxurious, it is relatively that way, and it is not as big as the reception area in Li Dong's office.

But Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang have never met before.

After entering the cabin, Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan looked at it for a while, Li Chengyuan didn't say anything, but Cao Fang couldn't help saying: "Dongzi, will you be the only one on this plane from now on?"

In Cao Fang's view, it would be too wasteful for Li Dong to be alone in such a big place.

Without Li Dong's explanation, Shen Qian said with a smile all over her face: "Mom, he's not alone.

He is now followed by a team when he goes out. Even if the staff is reduced, the team will not be less than 5 people, and there are service personnel on the plane.

Under normal circumstances, there are about 10 people.

Li Dong needs this in his work now, so it is still necessary to buy a private jet. "

Cao Fang laughed and said, "I'm not saying it's bad, but we still need to save where we should.

If Dongzi needs it for work, he must buy it.

It's pretty good, let me take a look again, private jets, I've never heard of them before..."

Cao Fang was a little emotional, and while talking, wandered around the cabin, touching the leather sofa in the cabin from time to time.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mom, the design of the cabin was made by Sissy. You and Dad can take a look and rate it. I'll go down to take a breath and come back up later."

"Okay, you are busy with your work, let's take a look on it..."

Cao Fang responded casually, then took Shen Qian's hand, and whispered a whisper.

Li Dong didn't stay any longer. No matter how luxurious the private jet is, no matter how extravagant it is, at his current level, his feelings are actually just average.

Two years ago, if Li Dong knew that his private plane had arrived in China, he might have come to see it overnight.

But now, it's been less than half a month since the plane arrived in China, and if it wasn't for Shen Qian's suggestion, he wouldn't even bother to come here.

...

Get off the plane.

Li Dong and Lan Xingguo walked a little farther and found a relatively open place, and then Li Dong asked, "How is the logistics company doing now?"

Lan Xingguo is now not only the president of the airline, but also the president of the logistics group.

Although he has always been engaged in the aviation field, and for the management, in fact, he mainly manages people.

In addition to the logistics group, Kong Xiangyu is mainly in charge at present. Although Lan Xingguo ran on both sides, he didn't delay much.

Hearing Li Dong's question, Lan Xingguo was already prepared.

In fact, even if Li Dong didn't ask, he was going to talk about it.

"Since the early hours of this morning, Dibao has launched a series of activities, and there are not a few merchants participating.

Because we said in the early stage that we would enter Dibao, we still have to spare part of our manpower to accept the business of Dibao merchants.

On our own side, because Wanjia.com is about to go online, and our original mall business continues to grow, Yuanfang Express is under a bit of pressure now.

In fact, not only Yuanfang Express, but also Yuanfang Logistics, because we have undertaken a lot of business, other retail companies, suppliers, including some social businesses, have put a lot of pressure on us.

Wanjia online today, Yuanfang Express has canceled all vacations, and all staff are on standby.

In addition, Shunfeng will also start to undertake the business of Wanjia.com this time. The specific situation will have to be seen.

Mr. Li, actually, I still want to talk about it, look at the business of Taobao, isn't it..."

Lan Xingguo was hesitant to speak, he wanted to suggest to Li Dong to cancel the business undertaking from Tiaobao.

I am too busy with my own affairs, and now I have found someone else to cooperate, but my own person has gone to help dig out the treasure. No matter how I look at it, I feel awkward.

In the early stage, Li Dong said that he wanted to take the bottom line and directly control the treasure collection through the express channel. At that time, it was difficult for everyone to say anything.

Now, Dibao has started to establish a logistics company by itself, but Lan Xingguo feels that it is not meaningful to continue to undertake the business of Dibao.

After he finished speaking, Li Dong shook his head and said: "No, continue, and the more business you undertake, the better!

Of course, Ma Yun will not let us get involved too much.

Once their courier channels are laid, it's almost time for them to drive people away, and it won't be too long before they completely block the distant couriers.

But there is a blank period in between.

At present, their courier companies are still in their infancy, and there are several Shunfeng companies, and now they have a lot of business cooperation with us.

So at this time, we can't drive us away if we don't pay for treasure.

And this is our opportunity!

Learn to seize every opportunity! "

Li Dong looked at Lan Xingguo and said, "Brother, you are a senior in the business world, so I shouldn't point fingers.

But after all, the times are developing, and sometimes, some concepts still have to change.

Let me simply say that our logistics housekeeper software is now being used by many courier companies and users.

Could it be that logistics stewards are really just to serve other people, and we have nothing to gain?

wrong!

In the era of big data, the data mastered by logistics stewards is extremely important!

Which buyers often like online shopping, which stores have good business and large transaction volume, and which e-commerce platforms are strong in certain aspects and fields.

These data, usually we are actually difficult to collect specific data.

We can easily do this through the logistics steward.

By doing some targeted promotional activities and doing some promotional activities, we may be able to easily attract consumers from other e-commerce platforms to distant shopping malls.

For some consumers who like online shopping and often participate in online shopping, we can use their data analysis to make some targeted personal promotion plans. There are actually many ways to attract them.

Also, since our courier company serves a large number of third-party shops, these couriers are actually our front-line intelligence collectors.

No one knows better than these first-line couriers which store has good product sales, high or low return rate, including the specific situation of some self-produced and self-sold merchants.

Wanjia.com wants to tap some potential and powerful merchants to participate in it. There are actually many disadvantages through Yuanfang Technology alone, just from the data.

If combined with actual intelligence, then we can achieve precise positioning.

In this regard, Yuanfang Logistics can actually cooperate with other brother companies. It is much easier to work together to do one thing than to do it alone.

If there are resources, they can be shared and utilized.

I didn't say these things before, but you can actually do them spontaneously, and you don't have to go through me. After asking me, you can do it and cooperate.

If the front-line courier employees can poach some potential and promising cooperative merchants for the company, the company will not hesitate to reward them.

At the same time as work, why not pay a little attention and earn some extra money in a fair manner?

Taking advantage of the current time when digging treasures can't drive us away, seize this opportunity and plant some nails, which will be of great help to us in the later stage.

You said, once Double Eleven happens, a large number of third-party merchants of Dibao will suddenly switch to Yuanfang Mall and Wanjia.com, will Dibao be in trouble?

Their ability to control third parties is actually not strong, and Dibao cannot send people to watch every household.

We are different!

We have this resource!

Our couriers can do some guidance through daily work contact, and we can even carry out some training in this regard, that is no problem.

Even if Dibao knows, unless we are blocked immediately, there is no way to stop it.

Also, now that we are undertaking the business of Dibao, on Double Eleven, if Dibao has not blocked us, we will find a way to block the merchants of Dibao, and then transfer a large amount of business to other express companies.

At that time, the express delivery efficiency of Dibao may be extremely low!

Once there is a large-scale express delivery paralysis, we don't need to make too much effort to make Treasure famous.

In fact, Yuanfang Logistics can do all of these.

In logistics, there is no need to be limited to the level of receiving and delivering goods. In some fields, it can also be expanded and deepened.

Of course, these are my personal thoughts. How to operate it and whether it is feasible depends on the specific plans of you people.

All in all, since Big Brother has become the president of the logistics group, he must look at the problem from the perspective of the group.

It is even necessary to look at the problem from the perspective of the head office.

Sometimes, some things that the logistics company does may not be of great help to the logistics company, but it can also be done to benefit other brother groups and the headquarters.

If it is done, will the company treat everyone badly?

Will not!

The company will make compensation for the resources, funds, and energy consumed, and there is no idea of ​​letting anyone work for nothing..."

Li Dong talked a lot, and Lan Xingguo also listened silently.

We are in different positions, from different perspectives, and sometimes have different considerations and goals.

Li Dong thought about the whole distance, the whole group.

As for Lan Xingguo, he still looked at the problem more from the side of Yuanfang Airlines, the big deal, including the entire logistics group.

No matter how much, as Li Dong said, using logistics channels to help brother companies, in fact, most managements are unable to do so now.

Normally, Li Dong didn't want to speak too thoroughly.

But seeing that there are more and more troubles recently, people like Ma Yun are also staring at him. Li Dong doesn't want to wait for them to understand before doing it spontaneously, but urges them to implement it.

The reason why I chose to come to Minghu at this time to watch the planes and relax is just one aspect.

Li Dong said he let go of the company, can he really let go?

In fact, many of the itinerary arrangements this time are related to work, but most people don't understand it, and probably think Li Dong has let it go.

After Li Dong finished speaking, Lan Xingguo pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years.

Old ideas, let us people are somewhat limited.

Confined in one's own field, confined in the old management thinking.

I understand what you mean.

Don't worry, Yuanfang Logistics will not become an obstacle to the Brother Group, but will only become their help.

The bigger and stronger Yuanfang Mall is actually our bigger and stronger.

With the expansion of shopping malls including supermarkets, Yuanfang Logistics will naturally enter an expansion period.

Before, I didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, it makes sense for you to want to merge shopping malls, supermarkets, and logistics together for a while.

Including some procurement channels of supermarkets, location selection, price comparison...

In fact, logistics companies can do all these things, and they can do it better and more conveniently.

Diversification is not only the diversification of the general group, logistics groups or other groups can also enter into diversified development. "

Lan Xingguo is not a weak person either, he quickly figured out something.

Hearing what he said, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's enough for Big Brother to know what's in his heart, and I won't point fingers at the specifics.

Whether the Yuanfang Group can make breakthroughs in various fields depends not on any one person or which subsidiary or sub-group.

This requires the efforts of our entire company and all employees!

I hope that logistics companies can make outstanding contributions to this year's competition.

I have always believed that the competition with Toubao does not lie in Yuanfang Mall itself, but rather external factors.

After-sales channels, logistics channels, customer service teams...

These are the keys to our ultimate victory.

When this competition with Teng Xun is over, no matter whether you win or lose, digging treasures is the next goal. This is indisputable.

Big brother, whether it can be done or not depends on everyone. "

Lan Xingguo smiled wryly, knowing that this person's visit was no good, and sure enough, the pressure came.

Seeing that the plane is fake, and the travel is also fake. Before the Teng Xun dispute is over, Li Dong has already started to focus on Tbao, or more companies.

Now it can be understood as mobilization before the war, or it can be understood as Li Donglai putting pressure on everyone.

After all, on Lan Xingguo's side, the rest of the group really didn't have much to say, so only Li Dong could say something more direct.

Lan Xingguo could ignore others, but he wouldn't ignore Li Dong.
