Chapter 760 Black Express

Everyone ate and chatted, and Li Jiwei seemed to be particularly talkative and active today.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he looked at everyone and said:

"Do you know? Although our Suda Express has developed rapidly, it is definitely among the top three private express delivery companies.

But if you don't participate in management, you don't know how difficult the road is.

In fact, to put it bluntly, our private express delivery companies are still black express delivery."

Li Jiwei's words surprised Wu Feng and Dabaobei, and Wu Feng asked back in surprise.

"How is it possible?"

Only Chen Changliu was not surprised. When he suggested Li Jiwei to enter the express delivery industry, he had already checked the express delivery industry very clearly.

Indeed, as Li Jiwei said, the current private express delivery companies are actually black express delivery.

Private express delivery started in 1993. An employee of a printing and dyeing factory started to do it with his wife, co-workers and brother-in-law. At that time, he could earn 70 yuan per order, which was simply a fortune for them.

Many people in later generations have enjoyed the era when items worth four or five yuan can be free shipping, and they don't know how expensive the express delivery fee was at the beginning.

For example, the fastest delivery company, Feng Express, had salesmen who were like crazy at the beginning, going out early and returning late every day, riding motorcycles through the streets and alleys.

Others delivered a piece of goods for 70 yuan, but Feng Express charged 40 yuan, digging corners everywhere and accumulating a large number of small and medium-sized customers with low-price strategies.

With the competition in the market, the Tonglu Gang "Tongda Group" all stood out, and the private express delivery industry began to fight with the relevant departments, which can be said to be stubborn.

Because the system was not perfect at that time, the relevant laws and regulations of the express delivery industry had not yet been issued.

If people nowadays knew this, they would definitely scold the relevant departments, but you should know that the express delivery industry is actually similar to the ancient post stations.

The ancient post stations were places for food, accommodation and horse change for military intelligence personnel on the way.

Like water, electricity, roads, communications, and railways, they are all symbols of a sovereign state.

So it takes time to perfect the liberalization of the express delivery industry.

At that time, the relevant departments often intercepted private express delivery vehicles on the highway, and handed them over to the local industrial and commercial administrative departments for punishment.

In order to avoid inspection, express delivery companies at that time would even take taxis to deliver parcels; in order to survive, private express delivery companies would even collect parcels at a price of 12 yuan per piece, and then hand them over to state-owned enterprises for delivery at a price of 18 yuan per piece.

As more and more outlets were established, the express delivery business volume gradually increased, and the express delivery industry turned to railways.

The couriers, train attendants, and platform security guards staged a series of "cat and mouse" stories.

However, as time went by, the social demand became greater and greater. Although the hat was not worn properly, the environment was much more relaxed, and fines and hiding basically disappeared.

After Li Jiwei explained the origin of the black express delivery, he looked at Chen Changliu and Wu Feng seriously and said:

"Now Taobao has an average of 220,000 express deliveries per day, making it the largest party A in the national express delivery industry.

I had dinner with Mr. Dama two days ago, and he told me that he wanted to cut the express delivery fee.

The express delivery price of the state-owned enterprise system is 22 yuan, and the price of "Tongda" and our national express delivery is 18 yuan.

According to Mr. Dama's intention, all will be cut to 8 yuan. He said to tell me first so that I can make some preparations myself."

After Li Jiwei finished speaking, Wu Feng exclaimed:

"What, from 18 to 8, this is too exaggerated, should we sit down with Tongda to discuss and come up with a countermeasure? It can be reduced, but it can't be reduced that much!"

Chen Changliu was not as surprised as Wu Feng, because this was inevitable.

"There is no exaggeration, because Taobao has formed a monopoly scale, they have the confidence to make all express delivery companies lower their prices.

Because in addition to state-owned enterprises and Moufeng, the growth of e-commerce in recent years has continuously expanded the scale of various express delivery companies.

So, without Taobao, these express delivery companies can't survive.

8 yuan is definitely profitable. It gives express delivery companies a profit margin to survive, and those express delivery companies finally compromised."

Chen Changliu sighed. No one can stop the chain reaction brought about by the course of history and economic development.

Why can you get free shipping for a purchase of three or four yuan in the future? That's because the express delivery fee has dropped, and the drop in express delivery fees has also helped e-commerce to develop faster.

The more express parcels there are, the more money express delivery companies can make even if the freight is two or three yuan, so these express delivery companies will grit their teeth and continue to do it.

This is why the post station appeared later, because the emergence of the post station is to improve the efficiency of delivery, so that the cost can be reduced, and only then can things worth four or five yuan be free shipping.

As for the fact that some people later enjoyed free shipping for only four or five yuan and wanted door-to-door delivery, Chen Changliu did not comment.

Everyone has a point, but he thinks that it is just rogue to ignore the price.

Of course, this is a later story.

After thinking for a while, Chen Changliu said:

"Now is not the time to hesitate. Although the Malaysian president said that he revealed it to you in advance, he must have communicated with the other side. Anyway, it is imperative to write something that cannot be stopped and must be cut off.

I suggest that you take the initiative and implement it before the Tongda Group agrees to it, so as to grab more customers.

It is best to let all the salesmen go immediately and work overtime to sign long-term business contracts with those merchants.

I want to lower it from 18 to 8, and many merchants will definitely be willing to sign it.

If the price comes down, you must at least let your order quantity go up.

But if you do this, you will definitely become a public enemy in the industry. Are you ready? "

After Chen Changliu finished speaking, Li Jiwei no longer hesitated. After finishing a bottle of beer in one breath, he nodded heavily and said:

"Okay, get rid of him, so what if I'm a public enemy? As long as my business is getting more and more, am I still afraid of becoming a public enemy?"

Chen Changliu and Wu Feng drank another bottle in silence, then looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, Chen Changliu's cell phone rang, and he looked at Ke Meng's.

"Hey, senior!"

"Are you having tea with Brother Wu? Are you coming back tonight? If you go to see Li Yihan, then I won't leave any dinner for you."

Hearing the jealousy in Ke Meng's voice, Chen Changliu smiled.

"No, I didn't meet Brother Wu for tea. We are drinking now. There is no need to leave dinner for me. I will go back later."

As Chen Changliu spoke, he winked at Wu Feng and Li Jiwei. Wu Feng and Li Jiwei sometimes complained about Chen Changliu in this regard, but those who should cooperate would still cooperate.

"Haha, Mr. Ke, do you want to come and have a drink? We are having barbecue and drinking beer on the roof!

If you don’t come for a while, I will find two models for him, so don’t blame me..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Changliu said "Go away" and Li Jiwei also laughed.
