When Gao Yuanyuan was in her room, reading the drama of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" with the lights on at night, outside the room, Gao's father, Gao's mother, and Gao Tuan were staring at "The World is Flat" with pairs of eyes staring at the signature in the blank space on the title page.
——
Lu Fei.
"Tuan Tuan, there are some things you shouldn't talk nonsense about."
Father Gao frowned, surprised and suspicious, "How confident are you that Yuanyuan and Lu Fei are friends?"
"It's big."
From "17-year-old Bicycle" to "Westward Journey" to the current book, Gao Tuan's analysis is logical and consistent.
"It does make sense." Father Gao raised his eyebrows and then frowned, "But what if this book is just for lending to your sister?"
"What are you two guessing? Why don't you just ask Yuanyuan directly?"
Gao Mu rolled her eyes and went straight to the study.
Father Gao stopped him hastily and said with a straight face: "Yuanyuan didn't tell us, which means she has no such plan yet, so we shouldn't ask too much."...
Gao Mu turned her eyes and thought, "What should we do now?"
"If they really are friends, we will pretend not to know."
Father Gao adjusted his glasses and told his son, "Especially for you. Now that you are in the important position of Mr. Lu, you must grasp the importance. Don't forget about it just because of the possibility of Yuanyuan."
"Dad, of course I know!"
Takada rubbed his hands, thinking that the idol he worshiped might be his brother-in-law, just like Jay Chou could be the brother-in-law of a fan. His blood boiled all over his body, and he lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
One night, no sleep.
The next day, I went to work with dark circles under my eyes.
Gao Tuan was yawning and stirring the coffee. At this moment, Wang Huiwen knocked on the door and said that Lu Fei called them to a meeting.
Their spirits suddenly lifted, and they didn't need to drink coffee to refresh themselves. When the two of them arrived at the chairman's office, they found that Liu Yudong, Xu Lei, Fang Xing and other senior and deputies from the R&D department were there. They suddenly realized that this morning meeting was extraordinary.
.
"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting. There is only one topic!"
Lu Fei explained the general plan for self-built logistics. In fact, 2002 was not the golden period for the express delivery industry to take off. The opportunity would have to wait until after the subprime mortgage crisis.
The logistics industry was included in the top ten revitalizing industries. The promulgation of the Postal Law made private express delivery legal, and it caught up with the golden decade of e-commerce. Under the influence of multiple factors, it directly surged forward and became a dark horse.
Everyone said nothing, watching as he peeled and crushed everything from policy to model, from technology to investment, and explained it clearly and clearly.
On the surface, Gaotuan does not have much fluctuation, but inside it is already in turmoil. This plan covers the goals of four five-year plans, and each five-year plan has clear goals, such as logistics management systems.
In 2002, information processing was simply an unimaginable product. The software development companies on the market would only focus on making money, such as anti-virus, network management, warehousing, and cashiers.
As for logistics and express delivery, the most popular ones today are Brocade, UF, and Kingdee, which only focus on simple warehousing and distribution.
But Lu Fei wants more, he wants to complete a supply chain!
"Mr. Lu, how do we determine our express delivery ID? If we want to track the status of each express delivery in real time, then it must have a unique ID."
"This is not difficult. The waybill can be specially customized. The waybill number can be randomly generated from the number library and matched with the corresponding QR code..."
"QR code? What is a QR code?"
Between questions and answers, Lu Fei recounted his experience in helping Lu Yun manage express delivery outlets in his previous life.
How to manage inventory, how to manage billing, how to exchange data, of course there are also things that he is not good at, such as vehicle management and air transportation, but they have nothing to do with this topic.
"Fang Xing, what I want is such a complete set of back-end management system and front-end real-time query system. Whether it is ourselves or the sender and recipient among the users, we can control the movement of each of our express delivery in real time.
Route, at a certain time and a certain minute, in a certain place, perform a certain operation, giving our customers an unprecedented flying experience!"
Liu Edong added: "This inquiry service will be incorporated into the SP business, called 'Tian Tongyan', and will use reminder text messages to help subscribed users track the movement of express delivery."
Gao Tuan glanced at Fang Xing and the people in the R&D department, paying full attention to each one of them. He quickly wrote down the requirements on paper with the pen in his hand.
"Don't worry about being 100% self-researched for the first version. You can imitate the most high-end Brocade in the industry. In the next 3 to 5 years, we will gradually achieve full self-research. After another 5 years, after 2010, we will officially enter the era of smart logistics.
!”
Lu Fei acted like a prophet and led the "primitive people" in the audience to envision the era of smart logistics——
Mobile robots, Internet of Things, drones...
Although everyone, including Gao Tuan, was half-conscious by the concept of such a sci-fi future, they were still fascinated by it, as if Zhongtong must be the only one who dominates the express delivery industry!
Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed, and in another hour, I could have lunch.
Liu Edong looked at the time and glanced at Lu Fei, hinting that it was time for Lai Haisong to come to Beijing.
Lu Fei took a sip of water and said, "Let's end the meeting here first. Dismissal."
Gao Tuan looked at his leaving figure and followed him closely. He really became Mr. Lu's uncle, and it was very stressful!
…………
On the first floor of the four-star hotel on Yong'an Road, Haiyiwei hotpot restaurant.
The quaint Chinese-style store was empty, there were hardly any customers at noon, and the waiters were so bored that they didn't even bother to swat flies.
Suddenly, seeing Lu Fei and Lai Haisong appear at the door, they immediately went to greet him.
"3rd place."
Lu Fei looked around, but there was no sign of Qin Hailu. Business was so bad that the boss simply stopped coming.
No matter what, I want to support you!
He paid for the meal with his own money, handed the menu to Liu Yidong and asked him to relax, and then said: "This is a pretty good hot pot restaurant in Yanjing. Don't dislike it, Mr. Lai."
"Won't."
Lai Haisong said with a smile: "What you eat is not important, what is important is who you eat with. Even if you have a spicy meal with Mr. Lu, it is still worth it! "The World is Flat" is really a masterpiece, and Mr. Lu is worthy of being a master!
"
So rainbow fart?
Lu Fei suppressed his laughter and took the initiative to pour water, "I don't dare to be a master. The book is just a humble work."
Lai Haisong held the glass in both hands, his posture lower than when we first met him. In fact, his name was too famous, and a book's e-commerce software could feed both of them.
So scary!
"Mr. Lai is willing to be the head of Zhongtong Express?" Lu Fei said.
Lai Haisong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Mr. Lu must hug this thigh.
"Mr. Lai has shouldered the responsibility of Zhongtong Logistics. Don't worry about decision-making and management. We will delegate operational decision-making power."
Lu Fei raised his glass and touched it with him, replacing the wine with water.
Lai Haisong immediately expressed his loyalty and raised the first and crucial issue-the business model.
Logistics and express delivery now have two modes.
One is the "franchise" created by STO, and Tonglu Express Gang basically follows this routine. The other is the direct operation of SF Express, Jingdong, UPS and the like.
"Which mode do you think is suitable?" Lu Fei asked.
"I plan to take the franchise route."
Lai Haisong first talked about the benefits of joining. It is faster and more economical. It can be done quickly. The outlets are operated independently and are responsible for their own profits and losses. It can be spread across the country quickly. It is also asset-light and the cost is low.
He continued: "Direct sales have strong control over the entire industry chain and provide high-quality services to customers. However, the disadvantage of direct operation is that it burns money."
Lu Fei readily agreed. In the previous life, Jingdong was engaged in logistics integration and had been burning money. While burning money, the scale was getting bigger and bigger, and the loss gap was getting bigger and bigger, which was detrimental to the valuation and development of Feigou.com.
Otherwise, Liu Haodong would not step down, and capital would immediately cut back on logistics.
Beautiful words: Graduation.
Of course he didn't want his brothers to "graduate", so he touched his chin and said, "Mr. Lai, is it possible to join the franchise while also operating directly, with direct operation as the mainstay and franchise as a supplement?"
Liu Edong and Lai Haisong looked at each other with confused expressions.
What kind of trick is this?
"It's like two barrels of oil buying a private gas station."
Lu Fei's reminder immediately woke the two of them up.
The most prosperous days of private gas stations were just before the establishment of Two Barrel Oil.
In 1999, Two Barrels of Oil raised a large amount of funds to acquire private gas stations on a large scale. Because they controlled the oil supply, during the acquisition process, they held a gun in one hand and money in the other. Private gas stations surrendered one by one.
Those who dare not to surrender, those who dare not to sell and quote high prices, will directly block the oil source and make the gas stations unable to make ends meet, so they will naturally give in.
By 2002, it was still being collected.
"I understand what Mr. Lu means!"
Lai Haisong gave a thumbs up, "Good, Mr. Lu's move is really good."
Liu Edong agrees. Feigou focuses on first- and second-tier cities and specializes in franchises. The franchise outlets will increase Zhongtong’s national express delivery market share and balance the proportion of light and heavy assets. When it becomes bigger and stronger, Feigou will have an almost monopoly.
E-commerce market share, acquisition of major regional outlets, and unified operations.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
"The time is right to carry out joint-stock reform and bring all the princes and princes of the entire Zhongtong network into the territory of Zhongtong Logistics."
Lu Fei took out his chopsticks and gave them to the two of them, "either cash or shares..."
"This is called releasing military power over a glass of wine."
Lai Haisong's eyes flashed, and his essence was shining. What the hell is a hero? This is a hero!
"As for Zhongtong's self-operation, we must build a logistics base that integrates warehousing, sorting, packaging, and loading, relying on aviation, railways, and land."
Lu Fei picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the clear soup pot. "In the first stage, we will build 4 to 6 bases in major cities in South China, East China, North China, and Central China. These logistics bases must realize air trunk transportation, because the future of express delivery
The core is definitely aviation!”
"Logistics base? Aviation?"
Lai Haisong's heart skipped a beat, then started beating wildly.
