The cold winter of the rats in the end of the world came to 719, and a stone caused a thousand waves 4 But it was really effective. The two small teams that had already negotiated did not dare to take the job of Ping An Company, and they withdrew for various reasons. Lu Wei'an, who was in charge of the company's outreach business, didn't know how to persuade others, and was a little helpless, so he could only come back and complain.
Populus euphratica is really not very good at doing business, let alone have any whimsical ideas. The rest of the fellows who were born as gold diggers were just like him. When they talked about going to the red zone to collect supplies, they were enthusiastic.
At this time, only Hong Tao could come forward. He only held the position of logistics supervisor in Ping An Transportation Company. He usually shrinks as much as he can, and only talks about non-important issues during dinner.
"Master Zhen, you are an old hand in this industry, help us to think about what to do!" But this time he didn't directly say the solution, nor did he inspire everyone to use their brains and brainstorming, but pointed the finger at the arms and legs Feng Zhen was still wearing a plaster cast.
Since the scalper arrived in the safe area in the south of the city, he was arranged to live in the courtyard on the north side of the small building, opposite to Lu Wei'an. He wasn't stupid either, he knew within a few days that his future fate was bound up with these gangster-like people, and he basically accepted his fate without much struggle.
His daughter has already attended Sheng Zhangsong's private school with several other children, and she is very happy every day. Even for the sake of his daughter, he, a father, has to climb into the boat of thieves.
"Increase the shipping fee, explain the current situation clearly, and let them understand that this is not a one-shot deal. I guess it will be almost the same!" Feng Zhen still has a lot of experience in what the drivers think and fear.
Not to mention the transportation team in the east safety zone, that is Sun Changzhong's base camp. But the transport teams in the southern safety zone really don't need to be too afraid, as long as they can provide long-term livelihood, none of them are timid.
"Well, let's do it like this! Explain to them that the construction of the new safety zone will last at least until next summer, and there will be continuous transportation of construction materials after that. I dare not say that there are too many, and it is more than enough to feed dozens of horse-drawn carriages!
Don't just talk about it, let's increase the shipping cost by 50% first! You find a tricycle and take Master Zhen to talk with you, and he will follow you in business from now on, first take the position of deputy director of the business department! "
This method is also simple and practical, not to mention brilliant, but the effect is not necessarily bad. Hong Tao actually thought so too. The reason why he asked Feng Zhen was to see his attitude. Are you sincerely defecting, or are you in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han.
And it¡¯s not enough to just express your opinion, you have to do things to let everyone know that you, Mr. Zhen, have defected to Ping An Transportation Company.
There was still a sound of chewing around the dining table, and Hu Yang and the others were not at all interested in this topic. Lu Wei'an didn't say anything, but he took out a small notebook and wrote down these instructions clearly. After living together for several months, if he still can't see who counts what he says, then his life will be in vain.
"Fifty percent? That's too much!" Only Feng Zhen was still ignorant. Hearing the sudden increase in the shipping fee, he couldn't help turning his attention to Hu Yang. After all, he is the manager. Who would dare if he didn't nod? Seriously.
"More than 50 percent?" Hu Yang turned his gaze to Hong Tao again, not sure if it was a question or a rhetorical question.
"Not much at all! There is a price to be paid for Sun Changzhong's monopoly of licenses, and there is a price to be paid for taking transportation tasks from the alliance government. There is also a price to be paid for feeding the company's direct fleet and so many people. These costs will eventually be reflected in the freight. , In other words, his operating costs are high.
Unlike him, we don't have so many hidden costs, and we don't need to invest a lot of public relations expenses. Now the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department has to send tasks even if they are looking for money. As long as they can be completed on schedule, it is fine to increase the freight.
In this case, why do we need to deduct a large part of the shipping fee? Let the drivers get real benefits. They will be our voluntary propagandists, helping the company to advertise every minute and every second, attracting more People come to defect. "
Regarding the issue of freight, Hong Tao originally thought that the transportation company took away the bulk, and the drivers could only gnaw at the bones. But after he actually saw the contract signed by the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department and Sun Feihu, he realized how unimaginative his brain was.
To be sure, the alliance government has done a pretty good job in this regard, at least not too much withholding funds for work-for-relief funds. According to the standard they gave, the transportation fee would increase three times, and the transportation company with empty gloves and white wolves would still make money.
Now that there is so much space, Hong Tao does not intend to use more despicable means to compete with Sun Changzhong. Let's save trouble, I will fight the price with you, callPrice war!
However, this price war is the opposite. It is not to desperately lower the cost and freight, but to increase the freight as much as possible to please the driver. As for the coalition government, it can be ignored.
Sun Changzhong didn't see through this issue. In order to monopolize the transportation industry, he devoted a lot of energy to attracting upstream customers. He wanted to hold the waybill with one hand and the necks of the drivers with the other, so as to eat as much as possible of the middle price difference.
But he overlooked a key issue, this market is not a seller's market, but a buyer's market. In other words, the Alliance Government doesn't care about paying more freight, but cares more about how to quickly complete the construction goal. Compared with a little freight, the benefits of resuming production are greater.
What Hong Tao has to do now is to use higher salaries to unite more drivers with Ping An Transportation Company. As long as there is enough labor in hand, the order of the Union Government will be transferred soon.
At that time, even if Sun Changzhong comes to his senses and joins in the price war, he will be in a passive state. The reason is simple, who made you drink blood from the coachman every day for so many years, your reputation is bad.
In the past, the drivers were unable to resist, but now they have, even if the freight offered by Ping An Transportation Company is a little lower than that of Changfeng and Zhongyi, as long as there is work to do, they will not leave.
As for whether using a price war to hurt Sun Changzhong will lead to more intense conflicts and more despicable means, Hong Tao has never considered this issue, or it has always been included in the calculation.
This is an inevitability, neither should be feared nor need to be feared. In fact, I am not very good at doing business, but I am better at solving troubles with crooked tricks. At that point, Sun Changzhong will be more passive. Unless the alliance government is willing to step forward, the two transportation companies, Changfeng and Zhongyi, will basically come to an end.
"Heilong, just do as Brother Shu said. You and I are both refugees, so it's okay to let the refugees earn more money. Brother Mouse, hurry up and eat. I have something to talk to you after eating." Fat Sheep put down the bowl and was very upset. Impatiently, he waved his hand at Lu Wei'an, signaling to stop discussing these intrigue issues.
"What's wrong? There's not enough materials!" Hong Tao was addicted to speaking, and was interrupted just as he was about to start a class, seeing that the rice in the bowl was not very tasty.
"I have something nice to show you, come or not?" Fat Sheep got up and walked out, with a strange smile on his fat face.
"Close the door and let the dogs go!" Hong Tao stretched helplessly, had no choice but to get up and follow, and at the same time declared martial law in the small courtyard.
This is the secret signal for them to drill holes to go to the red zone. Fat Sheep only does one thing every day besides being a carriage, running to the red zone non-stop, looking for all kinds of mechanical and electronic parts, and asking Hong Tao to help repair them when they come back. Then get together.
Generators, air pumps, water pumps, bench drills, and small lathes are not missing. In addition to using them for myself, I also asked Shouhou and Water Snake to sell a few on the market. Now he has become obsessed with a small crane, which he plans to transplant into a carriage. In the future, we will go out with the transportation team. We bring our own loading and unloading equipment, which looks professional!
? Get into the subway tunnel under the stables, get on a rail car made of two bicycles, ride along the rails for a few minutes, and you will arrive at Shibalidian Station outside the Fourth Ring Road.
The platform is still the same, but several rooms on the platform have been tidied up. This place has been used by Hong Tao as a temporary base. Part of the room is a temporary warehouse for storing food and weapons, and part of the room is a small processing workshop for doing things that cannot be done in a small building.
