719 One Stone Causes Thousand Layers of Waves 4
But this was indeed effective. The two small teams that had been negotiated did not dare to take on the work of Ping An Company anymore, and they backed out for various reasons. Lu Weian, who was in charge of the company's external relations business, did not know what to do.
I am at a loss to convince others, so I can only come back and complain.
Hu Yang is really not very good at doing business, and he doesn’t have any fantastic ideas. The remaining guys who were gold diggers are just like him. They get very enthusiastic when they talk about going to the red zone to collect supplies. When they talk about how to run a transportation company, they immediately
He lowered his head to eat and cherished words like gold.
At this time, only Hong Tao came forward. He only held the position of logistics supervisor in Ping An Transportation Company. He usually worked as little as possible. As long as the issues that were not too important were discussed during dinner, he would only discuss them during dinner.
"Master Zhen, you are a veteran in this industry, please help me figure out what to do!" But this time he did not directly tell the solution, nor did he inspire everyone to use their brains to work together, but pointed the finger at the arms and legs.
Feng Zhen is still wearing plaster.
Since this scalper arrived in the safe zone in the south of the city, he has been arranged to live in the courtyard to the north of the small building, opposite Lu Weian's door. He is not stupid, and it didn't take him a few days to realize that his future destiny was linked to these gangster-like people.
After a while, I basically accepted my fate without much struggle.
It was not enough to refuse to accept his fate. His daughter had already attended Sheng Zhangsong's private school with several other children, and lived very happily every day. Even for the sake of his daughter, he, the father, had to climb aboard the pirate ship.
"...Raise the freight a little bit, and explain the current overall situation clearly, so that they understand that this is not a one-and-done deal, I guess that's about it!" Feng Zhen still has a lot of experience with what the drivers think and fear.
Not to mention the transportation team in the safety zone in the east of the city, which is Sun Changzhong's base camp. But there is really no need to be afraid of the transportation team in the safety zone in the south of the city. As long as they can provide long-term livelihood, none of them are timid.
"Well, let's do it! Make it clear to them that the construction of the new safety zone will continue until at least next summer. After that, there will be continuous transportation of construction materials. I dare not say more. It is more than enough to feed dozens of carriages!
Don't just talk in vain, let's increase the freight by 50% first! Find a three-wheeler and take our Master Zhen to negotiate together. From now on, he will follow you to run the business. First, let's appoint a deputy director of the business department.
position!"
This method is simple and practical, not very clever, but the effect is not necessarily bad. In fact, Hong Tao thinks so too. The reason why he asked Feng Zhen was to see his attitude. Is he sincerely surrendering, or is he in person?
Cao Ying's heart is with Han.
And it's not enough to just express your position, you also have to do something to let everyone know that Master Zhen has defected to Ping An Transportation Company. Only by cutting off the way out can he be reluctant, temporarily, and partially relieved.
There was still the sound of chewing around the dinner table. Hu Yang and the others were not interested in this topic at all. Lu Weian didn't say anything either, but he took out a small notebook and wrote down the instructions clearly. They have lived together for several months. If
If you still can't see who means what he says, then his life will be in vain.
"Fifty percent? That's too much!" Only Feng Zhen was still confused. Hearing the sudden increase in shipping costs, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Hu Yang. After all, that person was the manager. Who would dare if he didn't nod?
Seriously.
"More than fifty percent?" Hu Yang looked at Hong Tao again, not sure whether it was a question or a rhetorical question.
"Not much at all! There is a price to pay for Sun Changzhong's monopoly license, there is a price to pay for taking the transportation task from the alliance government, there is also a price to pay for supporting the company's direct fleet and so many people. These prices will eventually be reflected in the freight.
, in other words, its operating costs are very high.
Unlike him, we don’t have so many hidden costs, and we don’t need to invest a lot of public relations expenses. Now the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department has to assign tasks even if it’s hard to find money. As long as it can be completed on schedule, it’s okay to increase the shipping costs.
In this case, why do we need to deduct a large portion from the freight? Let’s split it up so that the drivers can get real benefits. They will become our voluntary publicists, helping the company advertise every minute and attract more people.
People come to seek refuge.”
Regarding the freight issue, Hong Tao originally just thought that the transportation company took away the bulk, and the truck drivers could only chew the bones. But after he actually saw the contract signed by the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department and Sun Feihu, he realized how little imagination he had.
force.
To be sure, the coalition government has done a pretty good job in this regard. At least it has not been too demanding on the funds for relief-for-work. According to the standards they have given, the transportation fee will increase three times, and it will be nothing.
Wolf's transportation company also makes money.
Since there is so much space, Hong Tao is not going to use more despicable means to compete with Sun Changzhong. Let's make it easier. I will compete with you on price and start a price war!
However, this price war is the opposite. It is not to desperately lower costs and freight, but to increase freight as much as possible to please the drivers. As for the alliance government, it can be ignored.
Sun Changzhong did not see through this issue. In order to monopolize the transportation industry, he spent a lot of energy on wooing upstream customers. He wanted to hold the waybill with one hand and the necks of the drivers with the other, and eat as much as possible of the price difference.
But he ignored a key issue. This market is not a seller's market, but a buyer's market. In other words, the alliance government does not care about paying more freight, but more about how to quickly complete the construction goals and resume production compared with a little freight.
The benefits will be greater.
What Hong Tao has to do now is to use higher wages to unite more drivers to Ping An Transportation Company. As long as there is enough labor in hand, the alliance government's orders will soon be transferred.
By then, even if Sun Changzhong wakes up and starts a price war, he will still be in a passive state. The reason is very simple. Who made you drink blood from the coachman every day for so many years? Your reputation has been ruined.
In the past, the drivers had no ability to resist, but now, even if Ping An Transportation Company offers a lower freight rate than Changfeng and Zhongyi, they will not leave as long as they can find work.
As for whether using a price war to hurt Sun Changzhong would lead to more intense conflicts and more despicable methods, Hong Tao has never considered this issue, or it has always been taken into account.
This is inevitable. You cannot be afraid and there is no need to be afraid. In fact, he is not very good at doing business. On the contrary, he is better at using crooked tricks to solve troubles. When that happens, Sun Changzhong will be even more passive. Unless the alliance government is willing to step in, otherwise Changzhong will
The two transportation companies, Feng and Zhongyi, have basically come to an end.
"Heilong, just do what Brother Mouse said. You and I are both refugees. It's okay to let the refugees earn more money. Brother Mouse, eat quickly. After you finish eating, I still have something to talk to you about." Feityang put down the bowl and said very loudly.
He waved his hand impatiently at Lu Weian, indicating that he should stop discussing these intrigues.
"What's wrong? We don't have enough materials!" Hong Tao was addicted to teaching. He was interrupted just as he was about to start the class. He saw that the rice in the bowl was no longer very fragrant.
"I have something good to show you, are you coming?" Fat Sheep stood up and walked out, with a strange smile on his fat face.
"Close the door and let the dogs out!" Hong Tao stretched helplessly, had no choice but to get up and follow him, and at the same time declared martial law in the courtyard.
This was their signal to drill a hole and go to the red zone. Fat Sheep only did one thing every day besides making a carriage. He kept running to the red zone, looking for all kinds of mechanical and electronic parts, and then came back and asked Hong Tao to help repair them.
Then put them together.
He made a lot of generators, air pumps, water pumps, bench drills, and small lathes. In addition to using them for himself, he also let Shouhou and Water Snake sell a few of them on the market. Now he is obsessed with a small crane and plans to transplant it.
Get on the carriage. We will go out with the transportation team in the future. We will bring our own loading and unloading equipment. It looks professional!
I got into the subway tunnel under the stables, stepped on the rail car made up of two bicycles, and rode along the rails for a few minutes, and arrived at Shibalidian Station outside the Fourth Ring Road.
The platform is still the same, but several rooms on the platform have been cleared out. This has been used by Hong Tao as a temporary base. Some of the rooms are temporary warehouses, used to store food and weapons, and some of the rooms are small processing workshops for making some things that cannot be done.
Chapter completed!
