In addition to operating the county company, Qi Nian also made a major adjustment to the county company's sorting site. Because the county company's original sorting site was on the edge of the county town, the area of ​​the county town was expanded after the county town was expanded, and now it has become part of the county town.

During morning and evening rush hour, the surrounding roads are very congested.

In addition, surrounding residents often report the noise problem of the sorting site to the community. The site is surrounded by several roads in the middle, without any expansion space.

Qi Nian’s next plan is to build a transfer center.

"Are you talking about a transfer center? Not a sorting center?" Tao Jin was afraid that he would hear it wrong.

Transfer centers and sorting centers are not the same concept. Sorting centers just unpack the received goods and then classify them according to the outlets and delivery areas of couriers. This is a category of terminal delivery; while transfer centers are hub logistics distribution centers between one city to another, or one province to another. In other words, sorting centers are branch lines, and each express outlet can be done, and the transfer centers are trunk lines, and can only be done by large provincial and municipal franchisees.

Tao Jin is very surprised that Qi Nian is actually going to build a transfer center in the county. First of all, whether it can be done is a question. If the routing design cannot be supported by the municipal company or even the headquarters, the center will be built in vain; in addition, the transfer center involves investment in various equipment, which is an unknown whether a county company can afford it.

However, Qi Nian was very convinced that such a transfer center was indeed needed in Chi County.

Qi Nian took out the computer and showed Tao Jin a curve chart: "You see, we are currently in this position. We have only taken over the county company for a few months, and the business volume has grown very fast. Then in a year, the business volume will reach this position. Our current sorting center will definitely not meet the sorting requirements."

Tao Jin: "Yeah."

"You still remember what happened last year's Double Eleven. Before Double Eleven, we did so much preparation work, but what happened? The outlets almost collapsed. Under the pressure of fines from the headquarters, we almost went bankrupt. There are many objective reasons, but the main reason is that our site has a bottleneck. If we had a better site, would there be insufficient operating space? Will the residents around us complain? Will traffic be paralyzed? Will water and power outages? None of these would have happened. If we hadn't just taken the initiative to pull the goods to the open space at the dock to sort them, the result would be unimaginable."

Qi Nian continued: "In addition, you have also been to the transshipment center of the municipal company. It is now saturated. They are looking for a suitable land, but they have never found it. If they can't solve the problem of the site, then we have a ready-made transshipment center. What will happen?"

"They will transfer the transfer center to us."

"It's not just that. Didn't you mention the investment issue? We will solve the initial investment by financing, and the municipal company may bear it in the later stage. No matter who will use this transfer center in the future and who will be the ownership. At least, is it a good thing for us to build the transfer center at the doorstep?"

Tao Jin smiled: "This is. Now, it takes 40 kilometers to get a cargo at the city transfer center to run one-way. It may not be possible to complete a trip during peak hours."

"That's it. The transportation cost accounts for a large proportion of our company's total costs. One-time investment can ultimately reduce future transportation costs, time costs, and labor costs. This is a good deal."

Tao Jin nodded: "You are right no matter what you say."

"You don't object, so do that?"

"As long as you get investment, it will be done."

"You don't have to worry about investment funds. I'll find a way."

"That's good!"

In the process of solving investment funds, the first thing to solve is the problem of land. Qi Nian and Tao Jin drove around the county together, looking at the land everywhere like choosing a concubine.

"Oh, Brother A Nian, you see this plot is good. It is empty, with convenient transportation and no residential areas."

Qi Nian said: "It's a little far from the expressway, and the expressway company I walked through is four lanes and one lane, which often gets traffic jams. If you change the expressway, you have to run 10 kilometers more when you go to the expressway."

"What about this plot?"

"It's all good, but it's not on the sea."

"Why do you have to rely on the sea?"

Qi Nian smiled: "Why do you ship the goods to Cun Island without relying on the sea?"

"Isn't there my second uncle?"

"You can deliver hundreds of goods a day. If you send tens of thousands or tens of thousands of goods a day, you can load the ship with your second uncle."

"You mean the transfer center needs waterways?"

"Yes."

Qi Nian went to the county land department to learn about it. The land on the beach is basically agricultural land, but some land indicators are reserved for the construction of the wharf. There are certain indicators available every year. The key is that good projects are needed to have a chance of successful declaration.

Since there are indicators to use, Qi Nian knew it. Although he only opened a county franchise branch of a express company, thanks to the rapid growth of the express industry in recent years, the company's tax revenue is still quite good. It can also rank in the top 20 in the tax rankings of all the companies in the county.

Qi Nian returned to home and designed it carefully. According to his idea, this transfer center must be connected by land and water. Because Chi County not only has an island like Cun Island, but also has more than 20 inhabited islands in the surrounding waters. Cun Island is still an island with an area and a population of not large.

Qi Nian has looked at all the company's transfer centers and found that these transfer centers are basically of land-based thinking. They have not considered air and water transportation. The characteristic of Ren City is that half of the area is in the mainland and the other half of the land area is in the sea. The same is true for several other coastal counties. Transport centers dominated by land are equivalent to artificially cutting off the route of water flow. Water transportation has become another system.

Qi Nian’s design now is to incorporate water transportation into the logistics network system. His idea is to build a transfer center into two areas, one is land transportation area, which is no different from other transfer centers; the other is a water transportation area, which is built as a dock. The water transportation ship can be directly parked in the dock and the conveyor belt will deliver the goods directly to the ship. In this way, the ship full of cargo can be directly driven to each island without having to transfer multiple times.
