Chapter 1484 Express Delivery System Upgrade, Sorry
In fact, when he decided to expand the regular express delivery business, Lu Mingliang had considered this series of issues in depth.
Including the underlying reasons why Mr. Pei founded Headwind Logistics, and how Headwind Logistics should respond after other express companies counterattacked.
Did Mr. Pei create Headwind Logistics purely for the sake of losing money? That's definitely not possible.
Is it to optimize the allocation of resources, increase jobs, change people's lifestyles, and provide convenience for ordinary people? Possibly both, but definitely not the main reason.
Because everyone knows very well that every time Mr. Pei creates a new industry, he will open up a new business model.
In other words, no matter how much money it loses or how long it loses, it will make money in the end, and it will definitely be the final winner!
Considering headwind logistics from this perspective, many problems will lead to completely different conclusions.
Like other industries of Tenda, headwind logistics will be a process in which good money drives out bad money. Even if you lose money in the early stage, you will definitely rely on better services to eat the high-end market in the later stage, and then expand to the low-end market. profit.
Therefore, Lu Mingliang had anticipated the actions that Shengyun Group would take now, and made two-handed preparations in advance.
The first possibility: it is difficult for Shengyun Group to make up its mind to cut off from Headwind Logistics.
This situation is the most optimistic situation.
Because Headwind Logistics will continue to expand to second- and third-tier cities, counties, and more remote areas, as long as Shengyun Group cannot make up its mind to cut off from Headwind Logistics, Headwind Logistics will definitely completely control the terminal link of the entire express delivery industry.
Of course, it is impossible to grasp all of them, but it is enough to grasp all major cities and some remote areas.
At this point, Shengyun Group and other courier companies have become meat on the chopping board, and they can arrange whatever they want.
What's so difficult about regular express delivery? It is nothing more than using large trucks to transport express delivery from one logistics distribution center to another, and it is not a high-tech threshold. Headwind Logistics allocates some of the money burned each year, or simply asks Mr. Pei. This kind of regular express delivery The business can be opened in minutes.
At that time, Headwind Logistics will directly replace the express delivery business of other logistics companies with its own regular express delivery business, and continue to squeeze their market space. Isn't this just random manipulation?
Therefore, if Shengyun Group really can't make up its mind to split up with Headwind Logistics, then Lu Mingliang will continue to open the station with all his strength. Although this process will be longer, as long as there is no problem with the funds, it will definitely win in the end.
But obviously, Shengyun Group is not stupid, Nie Yunsheng is still very courageous. Although Shengyun Group has the disease of a large company, Nie Yunsheng still forcibly built his own terminal, and made up his mind to split it with NFL.
For the second possibility, Lu Mingliang also has another plan.
After seeing Shengyun Group start to build its own express delivery terminal, Lu Mingliang understood that they would cut off from Headwind Logistics soon.
Shengyun Group had enough time to prepare, so Lu Mingliang naturally had even more time to prepare.
Compared with the first possibility, the second possibility is relatively less secure, and the bayonet will become popular faster, but it can be less patient for a long time.
"It is ready to open up the land transportation business in more cities and fully supplement the existing freight system."
"Then, our long-planned 'system upgrade' will be rolled out!"
"Let the public opinion on the Internet ferment for a few days, and then I will personally slap Shengyun Group in the face!"
Lu Mingliang quickly arranged the work, and he who had been doing nothing before suddenly became sharp.
...
In the capital city, at the gate of a certain headwind station.
In the evening, the courier of Shengyun Express drove an electric tricycle, pulled a car full of express delivery, and stopped at the door.
This is the last batch of goods for today, and after throwing them all at the headwind station, today's main work will be considered complete.
Of course, there is still a lot of other work to do after returning to the courier point, and it will be around 8 o'clock in the evening to get off work.
This morning, the courier point has received a notice from the group company, requesting that except for Handong Province and the core areas of the imperial capital, magic capital, and surrounding areas of Yangcheng, other second- and third-tier cities will no longer send express delivery to the headwind station, and It is all sent to the express cabinet and community post station of Shengyun Express.
However, this is not affected by Modu, and it still has to be sent to the headwind station.
For the courier, there is no big difference. Anyway, they just pull the goods over and throw them at the post station. Specifically, what is the difference between throwing them at the Nifeng post station or the express cabinet of Shengyun Express?
The courier parked the tricycle and prepared to put the couriers into the warehouse as usual.
However, before he had time to unload the car, the staff of the headwind station stopped him, and then said with a smile on his face, with a hint of apology: "Sorry, the headwind station has just carried out a mandatory system upgrade, Shengyun There seems to be a bug in the express delivery of the group, and the system cannot record it."
The courier froze for a moment: "Ah? System upgrade? When did it happen?"
The staff explained: "This system upgrade was said to be upgraded some time ago, but it has not been pushed, and it was suddenly forced to be pushed today."
"However, this new system seems to be incomplete. I don't know where the problem is. It should be fixed."
The courier took a look inside the station: "No, what happened to the goods in the station?"
The staff smiled: "These goods were either delivered in the morning or from other courier companies. In the afternoon, the system was pushed and upgraded. At present, only Shengyun Express can't be put into the warehouse, so we have to wait patiently. It may be resolved in a later version.”
"As for why, it's a technical reason, and I can't say for sure, but Shengyun Express has a large volume and uses a separate set of rules, which are not the same set of rules as the express delivery of Headwind Logistics and other small companies, so it appeared. This situation."
The courier was dumbfounded: "Then what should I do with these couriers?"
The staff was a little embarrassed: "This... I can't help it. The system doesn't support it, so I can't store it for you. Besides, this is a matter decided by the superiors, and I can't be the master. Why don't you call your superiors and ask for instructions?"
The courier was a little speechless, went outside to make a phone call, and then drove away on the electric tricycle.
Obviously, they planned to put the courier in the nearby courier cabinet and Shengyun Group's own community post.
Such scenes are happening in all places covered by Headwind Station.
The couriers in key areas around Jingzhou, Imperial Capital, Modu, and Yangcheng pulled their couriers to the headwind station as usual, only to find that there seems to be a problem with the new system of the headwind station, and they cannot be recorded!
Calling to report, the person in charge of each express outlet also had a headache, so they had to report again.
In the end, I had no choice but to send all of them to Shengyun Group's own courier cabinet and community post.
Not long after, it was full!
It doesn’t matter that the courier cabinets are all full, and the post stations in the community are also full, not to mention the shelves, even the post stations are full of couriers, and there is no place to leave.
The reason is also very simple. Although Shengyun Group has spread express cabinets and community post stations in these super first-tier cities and surrounding areas, they have not completely covered them.
Because according to Shengyun Group's plan, it did not consider stopping all the headwind stations in the surrounding areas of these super first-tier cities now!
Their main targets are second- and third-tier cities, so express delivery terminals are mainly installed in second- and third-tier cities.
And these terminals in super first-tier cities simply don't have enough carrying capacity to accommodate so many express delivery!
But there is no way. If it can’t fit, it must be hard-packed. It can’t be delivered by express delivery, but it’s all piled up in outlets and warehouses, so it’s not delivered to consumers, right?
Many couriers watched helplessly as there were many empty shelves in the headwind station, but they just couldn't put them into the warehouse, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
The couriers of Shengyun Group were tortured to death.
According to the past, the takeaway that should have been delivered was almost delivered at six or seven o'clock in the evening, and I could get off work after eight o'clock.
But today is different. They have to take these couriers to nearby courier cabinets and community post stations to enter one by one. , it's already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Go back to the outlet and do other things, seeing that the off-duty time will be extended to ten o'clock.
In the end, what was even more annoying was that when passing by the headwind station, I found that the headway station had become very leisurely!
The couriers at the headwind station originally wanted to deliver the courier to the door, so it was a shift mechanism. The clerks took turns to look at the store and deliver the goods, and they were quite busy.
In the past, the couriers of the Shengyun Group were off work, but the headwind station was still working.
Of course, the headwind station works in shifts, and the working hours are much shorter than other couriers, but when the couriers of Shengyun Group see that the headwind station is still busy when they get off work, they can still win mentally.
It turned out to be a good day today, the headwind station was completely relaxed, and I left work happily!
The couriers of Shengyun Group felt even more unbalanced.
The couriers of Headwind Logistics have short working hours, earn more money, take turns, and have good benefits. That’s all. They used to get off work at least later than us.
As a result, now, get off work earlier than us!
How can this make people calm?
It was as sour as eating tons of lemons!
What is even more desperate is that the phone calls of these couriers are about to explode.
Because many people found that their express delivery did not deliver the goods to their door? Didn't put it in the familiar headwind station? Why was it thrown to the courier collection point far away?
A lot of people are not calm when they check the logistics information, so why throw it so far for me? Why do you let me get it myself?
They couldn't find Headwind Logistics, so they could only frantically call the courier of Shengyun Group.
But after calling, I found out that either the signal was busy or the line was busy, and some couriers even turned off their mobile phones directly.
The couriers of Shengyun Group were devastated, and the customers who couldn't get through the phone were also devastated!
This anxiety, like an electric current, quickly spread to the top management of Shengyun Group.
