Chapter 222: Headwind Station opens

August 3.
Pei Qian took Lu Mingliang to the upwind post near Mingyun Villa.
About three weeks have passed since the concept of the headwind station was put forward last month. So far, many headwind stations have been opened.
The preliminary preparation work is relatively troublesome. All of the 100 headwind stations need to recruit store managers and couriers, purchase shelves and office supplies, and greet various courier companies. ...
Fortunately, up to now, most of the headwind stations are finally ready for operation.
Pei Qian attaches great importance to this matter. After all, in his opinion, it is risky to play games, and the risk is very large. If you are not careful, you may make money.
I really want to lose a lot of money, still have to count on headwind logistics.
This labor-intensive industry is simply Chaoyang's industry in Pei Qian's eyes. The fish-growing food delivery that has been losing money since its launch has been a very good success story.
Of course, takeaway fish is not completely empty, and the number of people ordered is gradually increasing, and there are many repeat customers.
However, due to its own labor costs and the loss or damage of tableware, there are many cases where it is possible to share these costs and achieve profit only when the number of users is large enough.
In addition, although the popularity of Moyu Takeaway is slowly increasing, more and more people order food around them. To expand to a larger area, the labor cost required will double.
So until now, Moyu Takeaway has continued to lose money, and this has remained pretty good.
With this successful experience, Pei Qian naturally has high hopes for upwind logistics.
Taking Lu Mingliang here today is to familiarize him with the business and take over the job as soon as possible.
In the early 100 headwind stations, each was equipped with at least three employees, one store manager (responsible for shifts in the store, receiving courier services from other companies, warehousing and storage, etc., such as customer promotion, brand promotion, etc.) two The courier, the salary cost of the staff alone, has to be more than 10,000.
Because express delivery can get a certain percentage from other courier companies, this profit can roughly offset the rent of the headwind station, so these 100 headwind stations can make Pei a loss of at least one million every month.
As for the location of these headwind stations ...
Mainly in Jingzhou's populated areas and economically prosperous areas.
After all, from Pei Qian's point of view, this is completely a public welfare undertaking. In order to serve more people, it is naturally necessary to drive in a crowded place.
Of course, Pei Qian himself also has private messages. He has set up headwind stations in the neighborhood where his parents are located and near Handong University.
This ensures that no matter where Pei Qian is, there is a courier who can deliver to the door without having to run errands to pick it up.
As for Shenhua Haojing and Moyu Internet Cafe, the courier companies will basically send them to the front desk, so there is no need to open upwind stations.
At the headwind station of Mingyun Villa, Pei Qian first looked at the door.
This post is located behind Moyu Internet Cafe and rents a common shop in a good location.
Nearby is the newly renovated bar and chess room that are about to open. Although this place was originally deserted, these three stores opened up inexplicably like that!
As for why such a location is selected, it is mainly because the upwind post is not a shop. Strictly speaking, it is just a warehouse, so no matter how good the location is, it is impossible to make money, but it can also spend more rent.
Lu Mingliang and Pei Qian came outside the headwind station, and the first feeling was quite shocking.
This place looks quite tall!
Originally, Lu Mingliang heard that he was responsible for logistics, and subconsciously thought about express delivery.
He has seen some X-Express delivery outlets, which are particularly unreliable in all aspects, and even the signboards are casual, and some are simply not hanging.
As for the outlets, it was a warehouse in plain white, and all the stuff was piled up, no one cleaned it, and the ground was dusty.
Couriers dressed in dirty work clothes, throwing messy delivery boxes on electric tricycles, and then transported them nearby ...
But that's what other express outlets look like.
Headwind station is totally different here.
The rented pretty shop, the signs outside are also customized, and even in English: This force even vaguely overwhelms the trend of the adjacent bar.
Of course, the decoration of the bar next to it is more gorgeous, or more fancy, and the decoration of the headwind station is relatively simple and textured, not so eye-catching, but in terms of grade, it is not lost.
In front of the station, two uniformed courier brothers and the manager of the station were already waiting outside to greet them.
Next to it are two electric tricycles used to transport goods. The price is less than 3,000, which is also the initial investment cost. These tricycles are custom made with the headwind logo on them.
Through the glass windows, you can see the situation inside the headwind station. The place where you just entered the door is a large counter with a beautiful integrated office computer. The manager usually works behind the counter.
There are some simple office supplies on the counter, as well as a special code scanning machine. As long as you scan the order number on the courier, you can quickly complete the warehouse entry and exit operations.
The inner position is row by row of shelves, marked with partitions.
Depending on the size of the courier, it will be automatically allocated to different partitions for easy searching after entering the warehouse. Some special large goods have special storage locations.
After reading, Lu Mingliang had only one feeling.
High-end, foreign style!
The difference with other courier companies is simply obvious.
The manager briefed Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang on the preliminary preparations and the current operating status of the station ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The station still works according to the normal 8-hour work system, from 8 am to 5 pm. In special cases there will be additional overtime pay.
At the same time, there will be additional performance pay based on the number of deliveries and word-of-mouth evaluation by each courier.
The daily work of the two courier is to keep delivering the courier in the station to the door. When they are free, they can clean and drop by.
The job of the store manager is a bit more tedious. In addition to the basic work of loading and unloading the goods, it is also necessary to calculate the number of courier items closest to the station, to be responsible for dealing with the courier of other courier companies, and even better to the surrounding To promote headwind stations and so on.
Of course, Pei Qian did not make specific requirements for these tasks. Some store managers wanted to hang around, and Pei didn't care much.
The manager and the two courier looked very energetic.
They all have experience working in other courier companies. This time, it is mainly because the salary level provided by Headwind Logistics is significantly higher than other courier companies.
Moreover, the working environment here is also a bonus.
Upwind Logistics does not need to run the entire city like other express delivery, only the express delivery to this small area can be, relatively speaking, not so tired.
After watching them all, Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang returned to Moyu Internet Cafe and ordered a cup of coffee to drink.
"In the future, you will be responsible for all matters related to headwind logistics. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. Some minor matters will be decided by yourself."
"The one million dream fund is also reserved for you. If you feel that the work of upwind logistics is not suitable, you can try it in your favorite field."
"As for the follow-up funds, if you feel that you need it, just say a word, and how much you want to speak directly."
