Chapter 1486 The express delivery system is upgraded, sorry
In fact, Lu Mingliang had already considered this series of issues in depth when he decided to expand his conventional express delivery business.
Including the underlying reasons why Mr. Pei founded Headwind Logistics, and how Headwind Logistics should respond after other express delivery companies counterattack.
Did Mr. Pei create Headwind Logistics just to make a loss? That is definitely impossible.
Is it to optimize resource allocation, increase jobs, change people's lifestyles, and provide convenience for ordinary people? It may be all, but it is definitely not the main reason.
Because everyone knows very well that every time Mr. Pei creates a new industry, he will open up a new business model.
In other words, no matter how much money it loses or how long it takes, it will make money in the end, and it will definitely be the final winner!
When considering headwind logistics from this perspective, many issues will lead to completely different conclusions.
Like other industries in Tenda, Headwind Logistics will be a process of good money driving out bad money. Even if you lose money in the early stage, you will definitely rely on better services to capture the high-end market in the later stage, and then expand to the low-end market, and finally achieve
profit.
Therefore, Lu Mingliang had already anticipated the actions taken by Shengyun Group and had made preparations in advance.
The first possibility: Shengyun Group cannot make up its mind to cut off from Headwind Logistics.
This situation is the most optimistic situation.
Because Headwind Logistics will continue to expand to second- and third-tier cities, counties and more remote areas, as long as Shengyun Group cannot make up its mind to cut off from Headwind Logistics, then Headwind Logistics will definitely completely control the terminal links of the entire express delivery industry.
Of course, it's impossible to capture everything, but it's enough to capture all major cities and some remote areas.
If it really comes to this point, then Shengyun Group and other express companies will become meat on the chopping board, and they can arrange whatever they want.
What’s so difficult about conventional express delivery business? It’s nothing more than using big trucks to transport express delivery from one logistics distribution center to another. It’s not something with a high technical threshold. Headwind Logistics can even out some of the money it burns every year, or simply go for it.
Mr. Pei said, this kind of regular express delivery business can be started in minutes.
When the time comes, Headwind Logistics will simply change the pillars and gradually replace the express delivery business of other logistics companies with its own regular express delivery business, constantly squeezing their market space. Isn't this just arbitrary manipulation?
Therefore, if Shengyun Group really cannot make up its mind to separate from Headwind Logistics, then Lu Mingliang will continue to go all out to open the post station. Although the process will be longer, as long as there is no problem with funds, it will definitely win in the end.
But obviously, Shengyun Group is not stupid, and Nie Yunsheng is still very courageous. Although Shengyun Group has the disease of a big company, Nie Yunsheng still forcibly built his own terminal and made up his mind to separate from Headwind Logistics.
Regarding the second possibility, Lu Mingliang also had other plans.
After seeing that Shengyun Group was starting to build its own express terminal, Lu Mingliang understood that they would soon cut off from Headwind Logistics.
Shengyun Group has sufficient time to prepare, so Lu Mingliang naturally has even more time to prepare.
Compared with the first possibility, the second possibility is relatively less sure and will cause the bayonet to turn red faster, but it will save you the patience for a long time.
"We are preparing to open land transportation services in more cities and comprehensively supplement the existing freight system."
"Then, our long-planned 'system upgrade' will be fully rolled out!"
"Let the public opinion on the Internet ferment for a few days, and then I will personally slap the Shengyun Group in the face!"
Lu Mingliang quickly arranged the work. He, who had been idle all the time, suddenly became sharp and sharp.
…
Magic City, at the entrance of a certain headwind inn.
Towards evening, the courier of Shengyun Express drove an electric tricycle, pulling a cart full of express delivery, and stopped at the door.
This is the last batch of goods today. After all of them are thrown into the headwind station, today's main work is considered completed.
Of course, there is a lot of other work to do after returning to the express delivery point, and I won’t get off work until about 8 p.m.
This morning, the express delivery point has received a notice from the group company, requiring that except for Handong Province and the core areas around the Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng, other second- and third-tier cities, express delivery will no longer be delivered to Nifeng Station.
All are delivered to Shengyun Express' express lockers and community stations.
However, the Magic City will not be affected and will still be sent to Nifeng Station.
For the courier, there is not much difference. Anyway, they just pull the goods over and throw them at the post station. What is the difference whether they throw them at Nifeng Post Station or at the express locker of Shengyun Express?
The courier parked the tricycle and prepared to put the express delivery into the warehouse as usual.
However, before he had time to unload the truck, the staff of Nifeng Station had already stopped him, and then said with a smile on his face and a hint of apology: "Sorry, Nifeng Station has just carried out a mandatory system upgrade. Shengyun
The group's express delivery seems to have encountered a bug, and the system cannot enter it."
The courier was stunned for a moment: "Ah? System upgrade? When did it happen?"
The staff explained: "This system upgrade was announced some time ago, but it has not been pushed. Today it was suddenly forced to be pushed."
"However, this new system seems to be not perfect yet. I don't know what the specific problem is. It should be repaired."
The courier took a look inside the inn: "No, what's going on with the goods in the inn?"
The staff member smiled and said: "These goods were either delivered in the morning or from other express companies. In the afternoon, the system pushed an upgrade. Currently, only Shengyun Express cannot be put into the warehouse. We have to wait patiently.
Maybe a subsequent version will be able to solve it."
"As for why, this is a technical reason. I can't say clearly. However, Shenyun Express is large in size and follows a separate set of rules. It is not the same set of rules as the express delivery of Headwind Logistics and other small companies. That's why it appeared.
This is the case.”
The courier was confused: "What should I do with these couriers?"
The staff was a little embarrassed: "This... I can't help it. The system doesn't support it, and I can't store it in the warehouse for you. Besides, this is all decided by the higher ups, and I can't take charge of it.
How about... you call your superiors and ask for instructions?"
The courier was a little speechless, so he went outside and made a phone call, then drove away in an electric three-wheeler.
Obviously, the plan is to place the express delivery at nearby express lockers and Shengyun Group's own community post station.
Scenes like this are happening in all the places covered by Nifeng Station.
Couriers in key areas around Jingzhou, Imperial Capital, Magic City, and Yangcheng, as usual, took the express delivery to Nifeng Station, but found that there seemed to be a problem with Nifeng Station's new system and could not be entered!
After calling to report the matter, the person in charge of each express delivery outlet also had a headache, so they had to report it again.
In the end, I had no choice but to send them all to Shengyun Group's own express lockers and community post stations.
Not long after, it was full!
Not only the express cabinets are all full, but the post stations in the community are also full, not to mention the shelves. Even the inns are filled with express delivery, and there is no place to get down.
The reason is also very simple. Although Shengyun Group has installed express lockers and community stations in these first-tier cities and surrounding areas, they have not completely covered them.
Because according to Shengyun Group's plan, it has not considered shutting down all the headwind stations in the areas surrounding these first-tier cities now!
Their main target is second- and third-tier cities, so express delivery terminals are mainly built in second- and third-tier cities.
And these terminals in super first-tier cities simply don’t have enough carrying capacity to accommodate so many express deliveries!
But there is no other way. It has to be hard-packed even if it can’t be loaded. You can’t have it all piled up in outlets and warehouses when the express delivery arrives, and not be delivered to consumers, right?
Many couriers watched helplessly as there were many empty spaces on the shelves in Niefeng Station, but they could not put them into storage. They felt extremely uncomfortable.
The couriers of Shengyun Group were tortured to the point of death.
According to the past, most of the takeaways that should be delivered were delivered at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening, and I could get off work at around 8 o'clock.
But today is different. They have to take the express delivery to nearby express lockers and community post stations to enter them one by one. Some community post stations cannot accommodate them and have to find ways to place them at other collection points. After a lot of trouble, one truck of express delivery is finished.
, it’s already past eight o’clock in the evening.
I went back to the branch and worked on other things, and saw that my off-duty time would be extended to ten o'clock.
What made me even more angry was that when I passed by Nifeng Station, I found that the area around Nifeng Station had become particularly peaceful!
The couriers at Niefeng Station were originally supposed to deliver packages to your door, so they had a shift mechanism. The clerks took turns visiting the store and delivering goods, so they were quite busy.
In the past, the couriers of Shengyun Group were off work, but Nifeng Station was still working.
Of course, Nifeng Post works in shifts, and its working hours are much shorter than other couriers. However, when the couriers of Shengyun Group get off work, they see that Nifeng Post is still busy, so they can still feel mentally victorious to a certain extent.
It turned out that today was a good day, I was completely relaxed here at Nifeng Station, and I got off work happily!
The couriers at Shengyun Group feel even more unbalanced.
It’s no big deal that couriers like Headwind Logistics work shorter hours, earn more, take shifts, and have good benefits. In the past, at least they got off work later than us.
As a result, now, we get off work earlier than us!
How can this make people calm?
It’s almost as sour as eating tons of lemons!
What's even more desperate is that the phone numbers of these couriers are almost overflowing.
Because many people find that their express delivery is not delivered to their door? It is not placed at the familiar headwind station? Why is it sent to a courier collection point far away?
Many people immediately became upset as soon as they checked the logistics information. Why did you throw it so far away for me? Why did you ask me to get it myself?
They couldn't find Liangfeng Logistics, so they had no choice but to make frantic calls to the couriers at Shengyun Group.
But after calling, I found out that it was either a busy signal or the line was busy, and some couriers even turned off their phones directly.
The couriers of Shengyun Group were devastated, and so were the customers who couldn’t get through on the phone!
This anxiety, like an electric current, quickly spread to the top management of Shengyun Group.
