The development of express delivery is very simple. People in the same city usually recruit a dozen salesmen, wander around other people's shops every day, collect goods, and then send them out on electric bicycles.

If it is a medium-sized company that does business within the province, then just add a few cars and you can run.

To expand to the whole country, we can subcontract each province, entrust the aircraft to send the goods out, and then the subcontractors there will receive the goods and then send them out.

In the future, in China, tens of thousands of express delivery companies, large and small, will be able to live a more prosperous life, and this is why.

However, if Xiao Qi wants to do his best, he can't be so careless.

First of all, the first point is that you must not contract out various business locations. In this way, many things are beyond your control. If something happens, it will be too easy to damage your reputation.

In the future, why express delivery services such as STO, Tiantian, YTO, and Yunda will not be of high quality is probably due to this factor.

For those companies that do well, such as Shunfeng, DHL, FedEX, and UPS, each branch is its own directly operated store, with unified management and standardized management, so that it is easy to form brand awareness and become bigger and better.

If you want to become a top express delivery company, in addition to Xiao Qi's first step of large-scale land enclosure and building a logistics park, there is an equally important condition - a good transportation network!

A successful transportation network includes the three major elements of sea, land and air.

"Sea" refers to the tactic of sea of ​​people, that is, the army of electric bicycles and electric tricycles in every city form an ocean of people's war, extending their delivery tentacles to every corner of the city.

"Land" naturally refers to land transportation, mainly short- and medium-distance truck transportation. Usually the minimum range is between cities, and the maximum range is several nearby provinces.

"Empty" refers to an airplane, and it is best to be a dedicated cargo airplane. This is faster and more convenient than you and other couriers competing for the little space under the passenger airplane.

This is also the biggest secret why Shunfeng Express can stand out from many express delivery companies.

Both "sea" and "land" aspects are easy to handle.

Courier personnel have begun large-scale training in North China and Jiangnan. With the step-by-step guidance of Japanese logistics experts, they will be much more qualified than ordinary couriers as soon as they come out.

Land transportation drivers and cars are also easy to do. As long as you have money and good benefits, a huge logistics fleet will appear in front of you.

The key lies on the plane.

There are many private airlines in the country now. After the large-scale restructuring and reform of the domestic civil aviation industry in 2002, and the sharp drop in air freight prices in 2003, private airlines have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But until today, five years later, their life is very difficult. Like other industries, government departments are giving priority to taking care of their own sons. Therefore, factors such as scale, routes, resource allocation, control, etc., have restricted most private aviation.

development.

Even Eastern Star Airlines will collapse next year, followed by Okay Airways, etc., which will also be ordered to suspend operations for rectification and then go bankrupt.

However, what Xiao Qi wants to do is not a private passenger airline, but a specialized cargo airline.

Shunfeng Express was at the forefront. In 2003, they took advantage of the Civil Aviation Administration of China's lowering of air route prices and rented two Yangtze River Express aircraft to provide services for themselves in Guangdong, Dongfang and

Express delivery in Lin'an.

However, Shunfeng Express has no idea how crazy the development of China's express delivery industry will be in the next few years, so now they only lease five cargo planes to transport goods.

What Xiao Qi admires most is the operation of large-scale and large-scale funds.

It should be vigorous from the beginning, quickly occupying the market, and then slowly encircle and suppress other express delivery industries and become the leader of domestic express delivery.

That’s why he spent more than 450 billion to hoard land like crazy to build a logistics park.

Airplanes are naturally something Xiao Qi will consider.

Starting next month at the latest, Xiaoyao Express's logistics base will begin construction.

After the construction of the preliminary logistics base is completed, it will take at most five months before Xiaoyao Express between cities will begin operations.

At that time, the plane should arrive in China and start to be handed over to the cargo airline established by Xiao Qi, which will slowly try to quickly deliver express parcels in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

For this reason, Xiao Qi has purchased dozens of acres of land around almost every important airport in the country, preparing to build a distribution center and quickly distribute it to various cities and regions.

The only thing that is not under Xiao Qi's control now is the plane itself.

Buying a brand new cargo plane is definitely the best, but the cost is very high, so just like many young people abroad buying cars, if you want to buy one, you should buy a second-hand one first.

After listening to Xiao Qi describe his idea of ​​doing freight logistics, Branson, who had already known UPS, DHL, FedEX and other companies, immediately understood what he meant.

"This is easy to handle. A large number of second-hand aircraft are scrapped every year in Europe and the United States. We don't need to buy retired second-hand aircraft, but aircraft that have been retired for two or three years still have very good performance and are cheap. After modification at the EFW factory in Germany,

If you take good care of it, there will definitely be no problem in using it for three to five years." Branson suggested this to Xiao Qi.

"In terms of maintenance, you have to help me train a group of people." Xiao Qi said.

Only having your own personnel to maintain and repair the aircraft is the most reassuring thing.

The foreign aircraft maintenance technology is undoubtedly very advanced.

Virgin Atlantic's study is only the first step. In the future, Xiao Qi will send more technicians to various domestic, European and American airlines to learn and study technology, and strive to create world-class technicians like our rocket R&D technical team.

Come.

"No problem, ask them to come to my company for further study. I heard that you Chinese people are the most hard-working, and I will have another group of free workers." Branson said without hesitation.

Xiao Qi laughed when he heard this. Capitalists are capitalists, and they will still take advantage of them when they encounter them.

But it should be considered as tuition fees, and I can just subsidize it to those workers.

As Branson said, Chinese people are the fastest and most conscientious in learning things, and their ability to imitate is super strong. Otherwise, there would not be so many copycat products to counterattack the world.

"Buy me ten at the beginning and deliver them within half a year." Xiao Qi said, "I hope the freight capacity can reach more than 40 tons."

"No problem, the A300B4 has a cargo capacity of 43 tons, and the price of a second-hand one in good condition is about US$35 million. EFW only modifies 22-25 aircraft a year. Although the A300B4 is already a cargo aircraft, it still needs

If you want further modifications within half a year, the modification fee and the expedited fee together will probably cost 2 million per unit." Branson calculated the price.

"I will transfer the money to your account tomorrow and entrust you with full authority to handle it." Xiao Qihao said angrily, "In half a year, I want to see them all land at the airport in China!"

"Haha, Mr. Qi, you are really happy!" Branson said with a smile, "This express company has not yet been established, and the cost investment is so huge. It seems that you want to compete with several major express companies!

"

"Every country has its own market situation." Xiao Qi said with a determined look: "Although they have achieved success all over the world, it does not mean that I can't defeat them in China!"

Branson nodded, how can you do business without a little domineering attitude?

Xiao Qi's fearless character was exactly what he wanted.

The two were supporting each other and had reached a consensus on the plane. Branson felt more and more at ease: "Well, look at our cooperation..."

Xiao Qi said seriously, "Let the people below them negotiate. If there are no big problems, you will be my partner!"

“Great!”

Branson raised his fist excitedly.
Chapter completed!
