057 The Tranquility Before the War
After lunch, Qi Nian went online for a while, and then took the 3 o'clock boat to the county.
When we arrived at Huangyuzui, Tao Jin was the only person at the outlet.
"What are you busy with?" Qi Nian handed Tao Jin a plastic bag containing several lunch boxes. These were some home-cooked dishes that Tao Jin's mother specially cooked for her son.
"Brother Anian, why are you back today? I'm sorting out today's express delivery orders on my computer."
Qi Nian took a look and saw that there was indeed an excel spreadsheet on the screen.
"Isn't there a ready-made express delivery system? Why do we still need to sort it manually?"
"Some orders are signed for on the system, but they are actually delivered overnight. They can only be done manually."
Qi Nian wondered: "How come there is overnight delivery?"
"This is also the situation that has occurred in the past few days. The working hours of several foreign trade companies are not fixed. It is said that the working hours are related to the shipping schedule to the port. So we have communicated with the recipient and signed for the day's items first.
, wait until they arrive at work and then contact us to send them over.”
The time when the recipient signs for receipt will affect the delivery time. Therefore, in order to complete the timeliness assessment, express delivery companies often negotiate with the recipient about the time for signing for delivery. This is also an unspoken rule in the industry. Huangyuzui outlets have never encountered this before.
situation, so Qi Nian didn't know about it.
Qi Nian stood behind Tao Jin and watched for a while and said, "I can't tell that you are quite meticulous in your work. You are almost catching up with the female model worker Tian Shuangshuang."
"I've always been very meticulous in my work. How did you know that I'm a rough guy?"
"From looks."
Tao Jin expressed his dissatisfaction: "If you keep doing this, I will really use violence."
"Okay, okay, I'll make you a model worker next time. How long do you have to do it?"
"It's all done, just checking the list."
Qi Nian picked up the list and checked it with Tao Jin. After checking it, he asked Tao Jin: "Do you have any plans for the evening? Going on a date with Xiaoting or something like that."
"No. Just go back to sleep. Xiaoting went back to her parents' house today."
"Then you must be feeling empty and lonely tonight. Do you need me to accompany you to relieve your loneliness and play a few games?"
"I feel so empty and lonely." Tao Jin frowned, clutched his chest, and said with a sad expression, "Brother A Nian, don't leave. We will fight until dawn."
After dinner, the two of them went to Tao Jin's rented house to start a fight. The two of them hadn't played games together for a long time, but they were not skittish at all when playing, and they cooperated very well. Of course, the two of them didn't fight until dawn, and the game
I fell asleep at midnight.
The next morning, Qi Nian went to the county company early. He reported to Boss Zhao what he had learned on Cun Island in the past few days, and then went to the pier to take the noon boat back to Cun Island.
On this night when Qi Nian lived in the county town, he asked Tian Shuangshuang to stay at home and take care of his grandma for him. On the way back, he brought Tian Shuangshuang some specialties from Chi County.
The darkness before dawn is the darkest.
The tranquility before the war was the quietest.
Qi Nian lived a rare leisurely life in such tranquility. He stayed at home all day long, writing and drawing.
But his tranquility was soon broken. What broke the tranquility was the noise coming from the courier house in the yard. Because Qi Nian's window faced the yard, such noise was very annoying.
Qi Nian had to close his computer and walk out of the yard to see what was going on.
It turned out that several people came to pick up the express, but the customer service girl searched for a long time and couldn't find it, so they became anxious.
It may be because everyone is busy complaining recently, so the incoming express delivery order has not been recorded completely. The customer service girl is still struggling to find it, but more and more people come to pick it up. It is like a traffic jam. At first, it may just be
Two or three cars can't move smoothly, and in the end, the entire street may be blocked.
The people who picked up the express delivery rushed to Qi Nian's house in twos and threes, as if they had made an appointment. One person left and two came, and one group left and two groups left. After a while, Qi Nian's house was packed to the rafters.
Grandma was so frightened when she woke up from her nap that she thought there was a disturbance.
Qi Nian quickly called Tian Shuangshuang and asked her and the two guys who delivered the courier to come back as soon as possible. The two girls looked for the couriers, and the two guys moved the unsorted couriers to the yard and re-sorted them.
After working for more than half an hour, I finally sorted out all the items I had picked up, and the crowd dispersed.
Qi Nian pulled Tian Shuangshuang aside and said, "I have an idea to discuss with you. What do you think about us moving the pick-up point near the central square? It's close to the living area. Let's meet and do some errands.
You can pick up the express delivery by the way. Everyone has to take a detour when coming to my house to pick up the express delivery."
Tian Shuangshuang said: "This is a good idea. In fact, I was thinking about setting up a courier pickup point at my home."
Upon hearing this, Qi Nian waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it. Brother Ahong will definitely object. Let's rent a store in the square. Let's rent a bigger one, about eighty or ninety square meters."
Tian Shuangshuang opened her big eyes by another third: "Why does it need to be so big? We don't have that many pick-up items."
"We will open a convenience store in the spare space."
"Open a convenience store?" Tian Shuangshuang's eyes couldn't open any wider.
Qi Nian nodded: "I have been thinking about this for a long time. Do you still remember my college classmate Fu Jia?"
Others Tian Shuangshuang didn't remember, but Fu Jia remembered it clearly. Once Fu Jia came to the island to play and stayed at Qi Nian's house, which almost caused Tao Siya and Tian Shuangshuang to collectively flip the table.
"When Fu Jia came to the island last time, I took her to the supermarket. She originally wanted to buy something, but she couldn't buy it. Although this was a small thing, it also gave me a revelation. Have you noticed?
The supermarket in the square is quite big, but the products are a bit behind the times. It is no longer ten years ago, and people need some high-quality daily necessities."
Tian Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.
Qi Nian continued: "The convenience store we are going to open will only sell some high-quality products. There does not need to be too many categories, but they must be carefully selected. Just like the products you share in the online shopping group. It is nothing more than putting online
The products are brought offline.”
Mentioning Tian Shuangshuang's online shopping group, Tian Shuangshuang reacted immediately: "I understand, we can buy retail products through wholesale, so that we can earn the price difference of the products. In addition, ten items are packaged by a courier
Order and save on express delivery fees.”
Qi Nian is really very satisfied with Tian Shuangshuang, a partner. Although he is young, he loves to learn and is willing to study hard. He can understand everything and explain everything clearly.
Qi Nian said: "It's not just the benefits you mentioned. I've been at home these days and I've seen people coming and going in the express delivery room in the yard every day. People came all the way here, took the express delivery and left.
Such a good customer flow is wasted. We can completely direct the customer flow for express delivery to convenience stores. Wouldn't this unify logistics, business flow, and people flow?"
Qi Nian continued: "Don't we also need to develop a courier management system? By then, we can integrate the convenience store business and the courier business into one system. In this way, the information flow will also be opened up, forming a 'four streams in one'"
Effect."
"Wow, 'Four streams in one' is really awesome! Brother Anian, how did you come up with this word?"
"This word is not something I thought of. It is something I learned in a university management course."
Tian Shuangshuang said "Oh": Going to university really has a different perspective. I was fully qualified to go to university at that time. If I had half the firm belief and persistence of Brother Anian at that time, I would already be studying in a university classroom now.
Qi Nian didn't pay attention to Tian Shuangshuang's mentality when he mentioned the university class to him, and then said: "Shuangshuang, if you have no objection to opening a convenience store, you can look for stores around the central square in the next few days. If a convenience store opens,
, it’s also up to you to take care of it.”
"Don't worry, Brother Anian. I promise to complete the mission!"
Although Qi Nian and Tian Shuang started planning to open a convenience store on the island, it was obviously not a top priority. Now Qi Nian is facing a war. This war will directly affect Qi Nian and his friends.
Deliver business results by express delivery. Failure or failure will result in failure.
If the results are not good, even the convenience store of our dreams may become a fantasy.
The war is approaching step by step, and the air is already filled with a chilling atmosphere. What Qi Nian has been waiting for is the clarion call to march.
The marching bugle came soon, brought by Tao Siya.
When Tao Siya came to see Qi Nian, she was not in a good mood: "A Nian, I talked to Tian Hong, but we couldn't reach an agreement. He actually admitted the complaint. He said that he and Bao Zitou did it together. You know he and Bao Zi
Is it related to the head?"
Qi Nian nodded: "I know. Just like in the movie, the two of them are a white man and a gangster. Isn't the supermarket in the central square jointly opened by the two of them?"
"Well, he is going to make a desperate move this time. He will fight you to the end no matter what. Do you remember the last time he arranged for Tian Shuangshuang to have an affair with you? It would be really scary if a person went crazy."
Qi Nian smiled and said, "Don't worry. For people like Brother Ahong, even if they are crazy, they are just fake. They will definitely wake up when it's time to wake up. The day when he wakes up is coming soon."
