Chapter 223 The Opening of the Headwind Station

August 3.

Pei Qian took Lu Mingliang to the headwind station near Mingyun Villa.

It has been about three weeks since the concept of the headwind station was proposed last month, and so far, many headwind stations have been opened.

The preparatory work in the early stage is more troublesome. All of these 100 headwind stations have to recruit store managers and couriers, purchase shelves and office supplies, and say hello to various courier companies, specializing in customizing the software for goods delivery and storage, etc. ...

Fortunately, most of the headwind stations can finally officially start operating.

Pei Qian attaches great importance to this matter. After all, in his opinion, playing games is risky, and the risks are quite large. If you are not careful, you may make money.

If you really want to lose a lot of money, you still have to rely on headwind logistics.

This kind of labor-intensive industry is simply a sunrise industry in Pei Qian's eyes. Moyu Takeaway, which has been losing money since its launch, is a very good success story.

Of course, Moyu takeout is not completely unpopular. The number of people ordering food is gradually increasing, and there are many repeat customers.

However, due to the relatively high labor cost and the loss and damage of tableware, it is only possible to amortize these costs and achieve profitability only when the number of users is large enough.

Moreover, although the popularity of Moyu Takeaway is slowly increasing, the labor cost required to expand to a larger area will also double. As soon as the income rises a little, the investment will also rise.

So until now, Moyu Takeaway has continued to lose money, which has been maintained quite well.

With the successful experience in this regard, Pei Qian naturally has high hopes for Headwind Logistics.

Bringing Lu Mingliang here today is to let him get acquainted with the business and take over the job as soon as possible.

Each of the 100 headwind stations in the initial stage has at least three employees, one store manager (responsible for working in the store, receiving express delivery from other companies, warehousing and delivery, waiting for customers to pick up, brand promotion, etc.) and two For couriers, the salary cost of the personnel alone must be more than 10,000.

Since courier delivery can get a certain cut from other express companies, this profit can roughly offset the rent of the headwind station, so these 100 headwind stations can at least make President Pei lose more than one million per month.

As for the location of these headwind stations...

Mainly in the densely populated areas and economically prosperous areas of Jingzhou City.

After all, in Pei Qian's view, this is entirely a public welfare undertaking. In order to serve more people, it is natural to open it in a place with a lot of people. The more you give away, the more you will lose.

Of course, Pei Qian is also selfish. He has opened upwind stations in the neighborhood where his parents are located and near Handong University.

This ensures that no matter where Pei Qian is, there are couriers who can deliver to the door, and there is no need to run errands to get it.

As for Shenhua Haojing and Moyu Internet Cafe, the courier company will basically deliver them to the front desk, so there is no need to open a headwind station for the time being.

When he came to the headwind station of Mingyun Villa, Pei Qian first looked at the doorman.

This post is behind Moyu Internet Cafe. It rents an ordinary shop and has a good location.

Nearby are the newly renovated bars and chess and card rooms that are about to open. Although this place was originally quite deserted, when these three stores opened, it was inexplicably like the same thing!

As for the reason for choosing such a location, the main reason is that the headwind station is not a shop. Strictly speaking, it is just a warehouse. Therefore, no matter how good the location is, it is impossible to make money, but it can pay more rent.

When Lu Mingliang and Pei Qian came to the outside of the Deadwind Station, the first impression was quite shocking.

This place looks quite tall!

Originally, Lu Mingliang heard that he was in charge of logistics, and subconsciously thought about express delivery.

He has seen some X-Express outlets, and they are very indifferent in all aspects, even the signs are very casual, and some simply don't put up signs.

As for the inside of the outlet, it is a warehouse, in a cluttered pile of things, no one cleans it, and the floor is full of dust.

The couriers, wearing dirty work clothes, threw and kicked the messy courier boxes onto electric tricycles, and then transported them to the neighborhood...

But that's what other courier outlets look like.

The headwind station is completely different here.

The rented quite beautiful shop, the sign outside is also customized, and even has an English: upwind station, this force even has a tendency to overwhelm the bar next to it.

Of course, the decoration of the bar next to it is more gorgeous, or more fancy, while the decoration of the headwind station is relatively simple and textured, not so eye-catching, but in terms of grade, it is not lost at all.

At the door of the inn, two courier boys in uniform and the store manager of the inn were already waiting outside to greet them.

Next to it are two electric tricycles used to transport goods, the price is less than 3,000, which can be regarded as the initial investment cost. These trikes are custom made with the Headwind Logistics logo on them.

Through the glass window, you can see the situation inside the Fengfeng Station. The place where you just entered is a large counter with a beautiful all-in-one office computer. The manager usually works behind the counter.

There are some simple office supplies on the counter, as well as a special barcode scanner. Just scan the barcode on the courier, you can quickly complete the storage and delivery operations.

The inner position is a row of shelves, marked with partitions.

Depending on the size of the courier, it will be automatically assigned to different partitions after storage for easy search, and some special bulky goods have special storage locations.

After reading it, Lu Mingliang had only one feeling.

High-end, foreign style!

It is quite different from other courier companies.

The store manager briefed Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang on the preparations in the early stage and the current operation status of the station.

The station still follows the normal 8-hour working system, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you need to work overtime in special circumstances, there will be additional overtime pay.

At the same time, according to the number of parcels delivered by each courier, word-of-mouth evaluation, etc., there will be additional performance wages.

The daily work of the two couriers is to continuously deliver the couriers in the station to the door, and they can clean up when they are free.

The store manager's work is a little more cumbersome. In addition to the basic work of goods warehousing and warehouse delivery, he also needs to calculate the number of express parcels recently at the station, deal with the couriers of other express companies, and even better to the surrounding area. To promote the headwind station and so on.

Of course, Pei Qian didn't make any hard requirements for these specific tasks. Some store managers just wanted to mess around, and President Pei wouldn't care much.

The store manager and the two couriers looked very energetic.

They all have experience working in other express delivery companies. This time, the main reason is that the salary level offered by Headwind Logistics is significantly higher than that of other express delivery companies.

Moreover, the working environment here is also a plus for them.

Headwind logistics does not need to run the whole city like other express delivery, it only needs to deliver express delivery in this small area, which is relatively less tiring.

After reading everything, Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang returned to Moyu Internet Cafe and ordered a cup of coffee each.

"In the future, you will be responsible for the logistics of the headwind. If you have any questions, you can directly contact me, and you can decide some trivial matters yourself."

"The million-dollar dream fund will be kept for you. If you feel that the job of upwind logistics is not suitable, you can try it in your favorite field."

"As for the follow-up funds, if you think you need it, just tell me how much you want."
