Chapter 243 Wait and see what happens
Early morning at Jitu Express headquarters.
Su Yang walked into the company. These days, He Rongfa, who was in charge of recruitment business, had attracted many elite talents, especially the customer service department which was established first and occupied an entire floor on the second floor.
This is the top priority of all Jitu Express’s businesses.
In 2008, smartphones were far from being as popular as they would be a decade later.
If you want to pick up the item at your door, you must make an appointment and register. At this time, the customer's phone call plays a very important role.
As long as someone wants to send a courier, they can call Jitu Express’s customer service number. After registering the address, the customer service center will dispatch it to the courier station closest to the customer.
Before the courier comes to pick up the package, please confirm again by phone and pay on the spot to complete the payment.
As for payment methods, there are also many, such as Alipay, online banking, or cash payment.
All prices are calculated by the customer service and then collected by the courier. After returning to the courier station, they will be reconciled.
If it is Alipay or online banking, the money can be directly deposited into Jitu Express's account and checked by a dedicated financial staff.
As for cash, it is handed over to the cashiers at each express station and deposited into Jitu Express's account.
Although it was early in the morning, there were already quite a few people sitting in the customer service department and the finance department. Su Yang just took a look and followed them upstairs and just walked into the office on the top floor.
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Su Yang took a look and found that it was Shen Yi calling. He happily answered the call.
Who knew that as soon as the call was connected, Shen Yi would scold her.
"Su Yang, what has taken your mind off? Do you want to start a price war with Huatong Express?"
"Not only are you fighting a price war, you're also going to do door-to-door pickup..."
"I heard you were handing out flyers and eggs. We're in the express logistics business, not sales. What effect can your handing out eggs have?"
"Before the situation gets serious, you should quickly raise the price back up. We should proceed step by step and open one station at a time. Don't be in a hurry!"
"You have little capital and a small business. If you make a wrong move, you will be doomed."
Su Yang smiled bitterly. He knew that Shen Yi was doing this for his own good and was considering him. Unfortunately, he could not agree with this statement.
"Boss Shen, I know whether it can be done or not."
Shen Yi sighed: "Su Yang, things are different now. Huatong Express is coming with great force. You must not underestimate the enemy. I know your situation is not optimistic and you want to open up the situation quickly, but you should not rush into business!"
"If you really need money, I can find someone to help you borrow it, but you can't use price war as a way to attack the enemy's strengths with their weaknesses!"
Su Yang laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, since I dare to do this, I must have been prepared."
Shen Yi became anxious.
"What are you prepared for? Huatong Express has hundreds of millions in its account, and there are also Huagang Logistics and Dexin Logistics behind it. Oh, and there are people like Si Ruyun!"
"You're engaging in a price war with them. Isn't this a brain puncture?"
"Listen to me, this policy will end within three days. Let's just focus on express delivery and rely on our hard power to defeat them. Don't try to use crooked methods or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
Huatong Express is wealthy and powerful, and has enormous amounts of funds at its disposal. Compared with them, Jitu Express is simply a mess.
Competing with them to see who has more money, engaging in price wars, and competing on service, isn't that just courting death!
What company would set out to lose money from the very beginning?
Su Yang leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't know how to explain to Shen Yi, but all the things he had done were the killer skills that the express delivery industry had developed over the past ten years.
I won’t talk about anything else, just talk about the price war!
During a period of booming economy, all kinds of high-consumption, high-priced services will flourish. However, as the economy begins to enter a state of steady growth or even slowdown, it is equivalent to a receding tide.
Only at this time can you see who is swimming naked.
The profits of various express delivery companies have gradually declined, and only Jitu Express, which focuses on cost-effectiveness and offers the lowest prices, has not been affected at all.
Because of the huge increase in sales volume, Pinduoduo's performance even surpassed that of previous years.
Low price is always a sure win!
Some people pursue service, which is fine. As long as the price is right and the supporting services keep up, it is not a difficult thing. But such people are ultimately a minority. Most people pursue lower prices, better cost-effectiveness, and functional alternatives.
All added value will eventually return to its essence.
What is the essence of the express delivery industry?
That is whether it is possible to deliver a package from one city to another.
These simple truths, which seem obvious ten years later, were still too advanced for express delivery industry practitioners in 2008, and even for Shen Yi, the chairman of Yiwangtong Logistics.
"Boss Shen, I'm a person who always seeks stability. I won't do anything that I'm not sure of."
"I'm telling you, I'm not kidding when I say that within three months, I'll drive Huatong Express away."
Shen Yi was a little hesitant. He wanted to persuade Su Yang again, but seeing Su Yang's look of not turning back until he hit the wall, and continuing to hit the wall, he was really speechless.
He sighed deeply: "Su Yang, Su Yang, let me say something!"
"You are a smart man, but how can you always do such stupid things? Even if we two have agreed that you will take over the Jiangcheng market within three months!"
"But there's no need to do such a risky thing just for this illusory promise!"
Shen Yi held back all the words in his heart. He knew that Su Yang had made up his mind, but he really didn't think highly of Su Yang's series of marketing activities, especially exchanging flyers for eggs. As an entrepreneur, he felt ashamed when he heard it.
Who could do such an outrageous thing?
But it just happened to Su Yang, and it happened so naturally.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Boss Shen, there is no need to say anything extra. My methods will be effective within three days. When the time comes, we can discuss whether I am a fool or a smart one."
Shen Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you for three days. I want to see what use this trick of yours can have!"
He hung up the phone angrily.
Su Yang leaned back in his office chair, feeling somewhat relaxed. It would be a miracle if his methods didn't work. Now, he didn't have to do anything but wait for these customers to call Jitu Express' customer service phone number.
……
Jing'an Community.
Old Mrs. Liu, carrying a bag of vegetables, happily opened the door and looked at her son and daughter-in-law who had just got up.
"Everyone is awake. Mom will cook right away. You guys can finish eating so you can go to work."
Mrs. Liu's son, who was about 40 years old, had just brushed his teeth and washed his face. He muttered, "I won't eat at home today. I have to find a post office later to mail some winter clothes to Xiaoyang. It's getting cold, and the Magic City isn't warm either."
