There are two main ways to make money with Huaxia Express, one is e-commerce items, and the other is time-sensitive items, which are transportation documents, bills, and high-priced consumer goods that require high safety and speed.
What you earn is the service premium for same-day delivery, next-day delivery, and early morning delivery, which often requires the use of air transport capacity.
Jingdong's loss is that it's just internal logistics, most of which are Jingdong's e-commerce parts, but how much money can it make from e-commerce parts?
There are many monks in the porridge, Taobao, even if you try hard to get the share!
Three links and one delivery, express delivery every day, franchising and outsourcing, saving labor and cost, low-price competition, a few or more than a dozen companies are involved, where can Jingdong get involved?
It’s Liu Edong and Capital who are losing money, and it’s Brother Dong and the users who are happy. Can Capital really agree? It must make a profit!
Lu Fei glanced at Liu Haodong who was eating with gusto. Brother Dong had a conscience and asked someone to come and leave the shortest street lamp to him.
"What does Mr. Lu mean, in addition to absorbing Jingdong's internal e-commerce products, Zhongtong also needs to do business other than flying shopping?"
Lai Haisong paused for a moment, and the kuaizi holding the meat hung in the air.
“On the one hand, I eat postal services, and on the other, I eat e-commerce.”
Lu Fei divided a plate of shrimp sliders into two halves and adjusted the two pots of the Yuanyang pot to be clear and spicy. Just like Zhongtong, we can't just focus on e-commerce items like Jingdong Logistics.
The sales volume of b2c is only a quarter of that of c2c business, not to mention shipping and railway cargo loading capacity.
Zhongtong direct sales cannot only rely on Jingdong's e-commerce mail, but also compete with the postal service for time-sensitive mail. The documents loaded on it are small in size and light in weight, and the gross profit margin shared by the bellyhold shipping of the passenger aircraft is quite high.
"Mr. Lu, are you stealing food from the state-owned enterprises?"
Lai Haisong was so shocked that he almost dropped his head. These days, the postal service regards private enterprises as bandits. If you are not careful, the postal letter will be regarded as "illegal delivery", which is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
"It's about making the cake bigger and sharing it among everyone."
Lu Fei pointed at Yuanyang Guo, "In the first 8 to 10 years, the main route will be land routes, with cargo flights as a supplement. In the next 8 to 10 years, cargo routes will be the main route, with land routes as a supplement."
"I also have a suggestion to open inter-regional and inter-provincial network shuttle buses for long-term express delivery, such as from Yanjing to Guancheng."
Lai Haisong originally thought that starting from automobile transportation, he would build websites one by one, buy cars one by one, open outlets one by one, and expand short-term operations, but he did not expect that Lu Fei's logistics blueprint was so grand.
To maintain the four long-term lines in East China, South China, North China, and Central China, it is impossible to rely only on railways and aviation, and the cost is too high.
"This reduces the transshipment link. Of course, the transfer fee for express mail is not enough for the toll and fuel cost of the vehicle, but compared with aviation and railway, it is definitely worth it."
"Look, what does it mean to be professional?" Lu Fei raised his Coke.
"Mr. Lai set a precedent for Huaxia Express by using shuttle buses to transport goods." Liu Edong also raised the Coke.
Seeing that both of them had no objections, Lai Haisong couldn't hide his excitement as he clinked his glasses. Hearing a clang sound, Lai Haisong took a big gulp.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu, as long as our model is finalized, I dare say that Zhongtong's development in one year can be as good as that of Tongtong and one or two years. However, I'm afraid that if we spread it out like this, 5 million yuan of funds will not be enough."
"Five million is just the first payment. You must first establish a foothold in East China and cooperate with Feigou's branch in East China to open up the situation in Su, Shanghai and Hangzhou."
"That's no problem, but Mr. Lu, where can we get aviation resources? State-owned aviation and airports look down on private logistics."
"It all depends on people!"
Lu Fei raised his lips. In fact, 2003, that is, next year, is the time for ZTO to take off.
Because of the virus, a large number of cargo planes had to be shut down, and no one was taking them. The more flights they flew, the worse the airport suffered.
SF Express seized this opportunity and chartered a flight with Yangtze River Express, directly evolving from land express to air express.
Lai Haisong and Liu Edong looked at each other. Seeing how confident he was, they thought Lu Fei already had unexplainable human resources.
Gurgling, the hot pot soup base was boiling and bubbling. The waiter added the soup back and forth twice. At this time, the cup and plate were empty. Eat and wipe them clean.
Lu Fei got up and found that business was still miserable, with three tables here and there.
When I checked out at the front desk, it was 437 yuan after zeroing it out.
Good guy, hurry up and catch up to a quarter of a white-collar worker’s monthly salary!
Hot Pot Assassin!

Lai Haisong came on the same day and returned the next day, and immediately established Zhongtong.
Feigou.com continues to prepare for the Fine Book Festival. On the 23rd, World Book Day, there will be various promotions such as "40% to 40% off for full purchases", "One million subsidies to read more", etc. Dangdang.com has raised funds.
, Joyo.com has been planning for a long time, and has launched various discount activities ranging from 30% off to 30% off.
The entire online book shopping has turned into a mess!
The three companies worked together to launch a vigorous online shopping carnival in 2002. The potential of e-commerce has once again exploded and attracted much attention.
Although Wu and Shu conquered the Wei Dynasty with great momentum, Feigou.com has a number of exclusive popular books such as the new Korean and Korean books "Flying Like a Boy" and "Norwegian Forest" by Murakami Haruki, as well as the most valuable book "The World Is".
flat.
Two and a half weeks after its release, Iron Throne is still ranked number one on the best-selling list, whether online or offline, at home or overseas. In the United States, it continues to top the weekly best-selling lists of the New York Times, Business Week, and Amazon.
Top of the list.
Once the news is sent back to China, it is printed and printed again.
Feigou.com has earned enough traffic, fame and fortune from Lu Fei's "The World is Flat" alone, with total sales of nearly 300,000 copies.
Lian Xiang, President's Office.
Liu Chuanzhi casually flipped through the pages of "The World is Flat", and with the sound of turning pages, he felt irritable and regretful.
The only opportunity I had to invest in Feigou.com was not cherished. Although Excellence is not bad now, the valuation of US$100 million and the valuation of more than US$1 billion are completely different concepts.
At this moment, the secretary invited Lin Shuixing, whom Liu Chuanzhi had called, to the office.
"You performed very well in this book festival of Zhuo Zhuo. You beat the competition by a long way."
Lin Shuixinghui reported: "Dangdang.com has only superficially learned from Feigou.com and lowered book prices. During the event, we reduced the delivery fee to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou from the original 5 yuan to 1 yuan."
"The delivery fee for one order is reduced by 4 yuan, which is not a small amount of money."
"Mr. Liu, we have moved to a new building. The rent there is very cheap. The money saved can offset part of it. Joyo.com has lagged far behind Feigou.com."
"It's not a shame to lose to Lu Fei. This guy is so smart that he's almost a monster."
Liu Chuanzhi felt this and put down the book, "What did Mr. Lei say? Can it be listed overseas within 3 years?"
"Mr. Lei said yes! He dares to issue a military order."
Lin Shuixing made a request that Lianxiang and Tiger Capital should no longer send people to Joyo.com. According to rumors, eBay's local faction and eBay's airborne faction were having internal strife.
"Okay, I promise him, you can go ahead and do it boldly!" Liu Chuanzhi promised,
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Lin Shuixing expressed his determination repeatedly, trying to sit back and watch one from the other. If he couldn't beat Feigou.com, could he still beat eBay?
……………………
Shanghai Stock Exchange, eBay headquarters.
The Book Online Shopping Festival is in full swing, and Joyo has been reporting successes frequently. Feigou.com announced that its sales in five days exceeded 43 million, and the total number of users reached 3.5 million. The more popular it is, the more it is in contrast to the inactive eBay, which is becoming more miserable and deserted.
He and Bertelsmann, who was watching the excitement, became brothers in distress.
Tan Haiying couldn't stand it anymore, so she rushed into Shao Yibo's office and saw him holding Lu Fei's book and reading it again and again.
"Yibo, stop looking, you better come out and take charge of the situation! Take care of Matt!"
"What did he do again?" Shao Yibo raised his head.
"He is colluding with the board of directors and appointing people from eBay to be our coo."
Tan Haiying was extremely anxious. eBay had already parachuted into the coo, and with another coo, Shao Yibo and her team of veteran entrepreneurs were completely empty, which was equivalent to leaving them all empty.
"I already know this."
Shao Yibo said calmly, "He won't succeed."
Tan Haiying breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, then let's discuss how to catch up with Feigou.com, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com has recently invested in another logistics company, and we can talk to Liangtong and Yida about buying shares..."
"Don't compete with Feigou first, we can't beat Lu Fei." Shao Yibo shook his head and laughed.
"We have only lost 3 games. Sooner or later we will be able to come back!"
Tan Haiying was anxious. He still had more than 20 million U.S. dollars raised, plenty of firepower, and sufficient food and grass. The ministers wanted to fight to the death, but His Majesty surrendered?
Doesn’t that mean that Wan Yan of the Song Dynasty was the successor of Qin Hui?
"Losing to Lu Fei is too normal."
After Shao Yibo watched "The World is Flat", he realized that I was not incompetent in this battle, but the opponent was Gundam.
"Have you read his books?"
"I haven't seen it yet. I don't have time to watch it now. I'm thinking about how to surpass Feigou.com!"
Tan Haiying complained: "Unlike you, capitulationism, if you are still like this, you might as well just sell eBay to eBay."
"What are you thinking about!"
Shao Yibo realized that eBay, which relies solely on auctions, cannot compete with Feigou, which operates online shopping. Just like Amazon and eBay, two completely different tracks, how can they compete?
He was planning eBay to get involved in the flying shopping business, when he was suddenly interrupted by a ringing phone call. He couldn't help but answer it. It was his wife.
As soon as he picked it up, a thunder exploded in his head.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Tan Haiying looked at him in confusion, and a wailing female voice could be heard faintly on the phone, weeping and complaining.
Shao Yibo's face was stiff, "My father-in-law passed away."
Tan Haiying's heart skipped a beat. She knew their couple's feelings well and was silent for a moment: "My condolences, do you want to book a ticket for you to Los Angeles right away?"
"Thank you, thank you."
Shao Yibo smiled bitterly and quickly comforted his wife who was crying on the other end of the phone.
eBay's plan to enter online shopping has been temporarily suspended.
