In fact, Lu Mingliang had deeply considered this series of problems when he
decided to expand the regular delivery business.
That included the deeper reason why Boss Pei created Upwind Logistics and
how Upwind Logistics should deal with the counterattack of other express
delivery companies.
Did Boss Pei start Upwind Logistics purely to incur losses? That was
impossible.
Was it to optimize resource allocation, increase employment, change people’s
lifestyles, and provide convenience to ordinary people? It might be possible,
but it was definitely not the main reason.
That was because everyone knew very well that Boss Pei would create a new
business model for every new industry he established.
In other words, no matter how much money it incurred or how long it incurred
losses, it would ultimately make money. What’s more, it would definitely be
the final winner!
Thinking about Upwind Logistics from this perspective, many problems would
come to completely different conclusions.
Just like Tengda’s other industries, Upwind Logistics would be a process of
good money expelling bad money. Even if they lost money in the early stages,
they would definitely use better services in the later stages to eat the high-end
market, expand to the low- end market, and finally achieve profits.
Thus, Lu Mingliang had already expected Shengyun Corporation’s current
actions. What’s more, he had made two preparations in advance.
The first possibility was that Shengyun Corporation could not make up their
minds to cut ties with Upwind Logistics.
This situation was the most optimistic situation.
That was because Upwind Logistics would continue to expand to second- and
third-tier cities, county cities, and even more remote areas. As long as
Shengyun Corporation could not make up its mind to cut ties with Upwind
Logistics, Upwind Logistics would definitely completely control the entire
express delivery industry.
of course, it was impossible to grasp all of them, but he just had to grasp all
the main cities and a portion of the remote areas.
At this point, Shengyun Corporation and the other express delivery companies
would become meat on the table. They could arrange whatever they wanted.
What was so difficult about regular delivery business? It was nothing more
than using large trucks to transport express deliveries from one logistics
distribution center to another. It was not a matter of high-tech threshold.
Upwind Logistics would distribute some money that they burned every year or
simply direct it to Boss Pei. This regular delivery business could be opened in
minutes.
At that time, Upwind Logistics would take advantage of the situation and
gradually use their owm regular delivery business to replace other logistics
companies delivery business. They would constantly squeeze their market
space. Wouldn’t that be a casual grasp?
Thus, if Shengyun Corporation really could not make up its mind to split with
Upwind Logistics, Lu Mingliang would continue to open courier stations with
all his might. This process would be longer, but as long as there were no
problems with the funds, he would definitely win in the end.
However, it was obvious that Shengyun Corporation was not stupid. Nie
Yunsheng was still very bold. Even though Shengyun Corporation had a huge
company disease, Nie Yunsheng still forcefully built his terminal and made up
his mind to split it with Upwind Logistics.
Lu Mingliang had another plan for the second possibility.
Lu Mingliang understood that they would cut ties with Upwind Logistics soon
after he saw Shengyun Corporation start to build their own express delivery
terminals.
Shengyun Corporation had ample time to prepare. Naturally, Lu Mingliang had
more time to prepare.
Compared to the first possibility, the second possibility was relatively less
stable. It would be faster, but it could wait for a long time.
“Prepare to open more cities’ land transportation business and fully
supplement the existing delivery system.”
“After that, the ‘system upgrade’ that we have been planning for a long time
will be fully released!”
Let the public opinion ferment on the internet for a few days. Then, I want to
slap Shengyun Corporation in the face personally!
Lu Mingliang quickly arranged his work. He had been idling around the entire
time, but all of a sudden, he showed his true colors.
At the entrance of an Upwind Courier station in Shanghai.
As evening approached, Shengyun Express’s express deliveryman drove an
electric tricycle and stopped at the entrance.
This was the last batch of goods today. After throwing all of them into Upwind
Courier stations, today’s main work would be completed.
of course, he still had a lot of work to do when he returned to the express
delivery point. He would only be able to get off work after 8 PM
This morning, the express delivery point had received a notice from the
company, requesting that apart from the core areas of Handong Province,
Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the express delivery companies in the
second- and third-tier cities would not be sent to Upwind Courier stations.
Instead, they would be sent to the express delivery cabinet and community
courier stations of Shengyun Express.
However, Shanghai was not affected. He still had to send it to Upwind Courier
stations.
To the express deliverymen, this did not make much of a difference. In any
case, they would just pull the goods over and throw them into the courier
station. What was the difference between throwing them into the Upwind
Courier stations or into the express delivery cabinet of Shengvun Express?
The express deliveryman parked his tricycle and prepared to store the parcels
as usual.
However, the staff of Upwind Courier stations stopped him before he could
unload the car. Then, he said with a face full of smiles and a hint of apology,
“Tm sorry. Upwind Courier stations have just been forced to upgrade. Shengyun
Corporation’s express delivery seems to have encountered a bug. The system
cannot record it.”
The express deliveryman was stunned. “Huh? System upgrade? When did that
happen?
The staff explained, This system had been upgraded a while ago. It said that it
wanted to be upgraded, but it had not been pushed. Today, it was suddenly
forced
“However, this new system doesn’t seem to be perfect. I don’t know what the
specific problem is. It should be being fixed.
The express deliveryman looked into the courier station. “That’s not right.
What’s with the goods in the courier station?
The staff smiled. “These goods were either delivered in the morning or from
other express delivery companies. The system upgraded during the afternoon.
At the moment, only Shengyun Express cannot be entered into the warehouse.
We have to wait patiently. The subsequent version might be resolved.”
“As for why, this is a technical reason. I can’t say for sure. However, Shengyun
Express is a large-scale company. It follows a separate set of rules. It’s not the
same set of rules as Upwind Logistics and other small companies. That’s why
this situation happened.”
The express deliveryman was stunned. “What about my express delivery
companies?
The staff was a little embarrassed. “This… I don’t have a choice. If the system
doesn’t support me, I can’t put you in the warehouse. What’s more, this is all
set by the higher-ups. I can’t make this decision. Why don’t.. you call your
superior to ask for instructions?
The express deliveryman was a little speechless. He called outside and left in
his motor tricycle.
Obviously, he was planning to put the express deivery in the nearby express
delivery calbinet and Shengyun Corporation’s own residential courier station.
Such a scene was happening in all the Upwind Courier stations.
The express deliverymen in the key areas of Jingzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and
Guangzhou pulled their parcels to Upwind Courier stations as usual. However,
they realized that there seemed to be a problem with the new system of
Upwind Courier stations. They could not enter!
The person-in-charge of the various express delivery stations had a headache
when he called to report. He could only report again.
In the end, he had no choice but to send them all to Shengyun Corporation’s
own express delivery cabinet and community courier station.
Not long after, it was full!
Not only were the delivery cabinets full, but the residential area’s courier
stations were also full. Not to mention the shelves, even the courier stations
were filled with parcels. There was no place to step on.
The reason was very simple. Shengyun Corporation might have set up express
delivery calbinets and community courier stations in these first-tier cities and
the surrounding areas, but they were not completely filled.
That was because according to Shengyun Corporation’s plan, they did not
consider stopping Upwind Courier stations in the surrounding areas of these
first-tier cities!
Their main target was second- and third-tier cities, so their express delivery
terminals were mainly in second- and third-tier cities.
The terminals in first-tier cities did not have enough capacity to accommodate
so many deliveries!
However, he had no choice. Even if he could not install it, he had to install it
forcefully. He could not possibly store it all in the internet points and
warehouses and not send it to consumers when the express delivery arrived,
right?
Many express deliverymen watched helplessly as the shelves in Upwind
Courier stations were filled with empty spaces. However, they could not enter
the warehouse. It was simply unbearable.
Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen were tortured to death.
In the past, he would have finished delivering the take -out at six or seven in
the evening. He would have ended work at eight.
However, it was different today. They had to bring these express delivery
companies to the nearby express delivery cabinets and district courier stations
to record them down. Some district courier stations had to think of other
substitute delivery points if they could not fit them. It was already past eight at
night after unloading the cars.
He went back to the internet area to work on other things. The knock-off time
was going to be extended to 10 PM.
What was even more infuriating was that when he passed by Upwind Courier
stations, he realized that Upwind Courier stations had become very free!
Upwind Courier stations’ express deliverymen had originally wanted to deliver
parcels to customers’ doorsteps, so they were in charge of the shift. The
employees took turns to look at the shop and deliver the parcels. They were
more busy.
Previously, the express deliverymen of Shengyun Corporation had knocked off,
and Upwind Courier stations were still working.
of course, Upwind Courier stations were closed down. Their working hours
were much shorter than other express deliverymen. However, when Shengyun
Corporation’s express deliverymen saw that Upwind Courier stations were still
busy after work, they could more or less feel better.
Yet, today was great. Upwind Courier stations had completely relaxed and
knocked off happily!
Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen felt even more unbalanced.
Upwind Logistics express deliverymen had a short working time, earned a lot
of money, took shifts, and had good benefits. In the past, they had at least
knocked off later than us.
Yet, now, they had knocked off earlier than us!
How could he remain calm?
It was as sour as eating tons of lemons!
What was even more despairing was that the cell phones of these express
deliverymen were almost exploding.
That was because many people realized that their parcels were not delivered to
their doorstep? They were not placed at the familiar Upwind Courier stations
either. Why were they thrown far away at the delivery stations?
Many people could not remain calm after checking the logistics. Why did they
throw it so far away? Why did they want me to get it myself?
They could not find Upwind Logistics and could only call Shengyun
Corporation’s express delivery man.
However, they realized that the line was either busy or occupied. Some express
deliverymen even switched their cell phones off.
Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen were on the brink of collapse,
and so were the customers who could not reach the phone!
This anxiety was like an electric current. It soon reached the upper echelons of
Shengyun Corporation.
