To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 223 The opening of the headwind station

8 month 3 day.

Pei Qian took Lu Mingliang to the headwind station near Mingyun Villa.

It has been about three weeks since the concept of headwind station was proposed last month, and so far, many headwind stations have been opened one after another.

The preparation work in the early stage is quite troublesome. All of the 100 headwind stations have to recruit store managers and couriers, purchase shelves and office supplies, greet various courier companies, and customize software for goods delivery and warehousing, etc. ...

Fortunately, after working so hard, most of the headwind stations can finally start to operate officially.

Pei Qian attaches great importance to this matter. After all, in his opinion, making games is risky, and the risk is quite high. If you are not careful, you may make money.

If you really want to lose a lot of money, you still have to count on Headwind Logistics.

This kind of labor-intensive industry is simply a sunrise industry in Pei Qian's eyes. Moyu Takeaway, which has been losing money since its launch, is a very good success story.

Of course, Moyu takeaway is not completely unpopular, and the number of people ordering food is gradually increasing, and there are many repeat customers.

However, due to the relatively high labor costs and the loss and damage of tableware, only when the number of users is large enough can it be possible to share these costs and achieve profitability.

Moreover, although the popularity of Moyu Takeaway is slowly increasing, the labor cost required to expand to a larger area will also double.As soon as the income rises a little, the investment will also rise.

So until now, Moyu Takeaway has continued to lose money, which has been maintained quite well.

With successful experience in this area, Pei Qian naturally has high hopes for Headwind Logistics.

Bringing Lu Mingliang here today is to let him get acquainted with the business and take over the job as soon as possible.

Each of the 100 headwind stations in the early stage has at least three employees, one store manager (responsible for working in the store, receiving express delivery from other companies, loading and unloading, waiting for customers to pick up, brand promotion, etc.) The courier, just the salary cost of the personnel, has to have more than 1.

Since the express delivery can get a certain commission from other express companies, this profit can roughly offset the rent of the Headwind Station, so these 100 Headwind Stations can at least cause Mr. Pei to lose more than 100 million a month.

As for the locations of these headwind stations...

Mainly in the densely populated areas and economically prosperous areas of Jingzhou City.

After all, in Pei Qian's view, this is entirely a public welfare undertaking. In order to serve more people, it is natural to open it in a place with a lot of people. The more you donate, the more you will lose.

Of course, Pei Qian himself also has selfish intentions, and set up a headwind station in the neighborhood where his parents live and near Handong University.

This ensures that no matter where Pei Qian is, there are couriers who can deliver the goods to the door, and there is no need to run errands to get them.

As for Shenhua Haojing and Moyu Internet Cafe, the courier company will basically deliver them to the front desk, so there is no need to open a headwind station for the time being.

When he came to the headwind station of Mingyun Villa, Pei Qian looked at the door first.

This station is located behind Moyu Internet Cafe, and rented an ordinary shop, the location is very good.

Nearby is a bar and a chess and card room that have just been renovated and are about to open. Although this place was quite deserted at first, when these three stores opened, it seemed like that somehow!

As for why such a location was chosen, it was mainly because Headwind Station was not a store, strictly speaking it was just a warehouse, so no matter how good the location was, it was impossible to make money, and instead, it could pay more rent.

When Lu Mingliang and Pei Qian came outside the headwind station, the first impression was quite shocking.

This place looks quite tall!

Originally, when Lu Mingliang heard that he was asked to be in charge of logistics, he subconsciously thought about express delivery.

He has seen some X-Tong express outlets, and they are not particular about all aspects, even the signboards are casual, and some don't hang any signboards at all.

As for the inside of the branch, to put it bluntly, it is a warehouse, where things are piled up in a mess, and no one cleans it, and the floor is full of dust.

The couriers wore dirty work clothes, threw and kicked the messy express boxes onto the electric tricycle, and then transported them to the nearby...

But that's what other express outlets look like.

Headwind Station here is completely different.

Rented a very beautiful shop, the signage outside is also customized, and even put up an English: upwind station, this forceful style even vaguely has the tendency to overwhelm the bar next door.

Of course, the decoration of the bar next to it is more ornate, or more gaudy, while the decoration of the headwind station is relatively simple and textured, not so eye-catching, but in terms of grade, it is not inferior at all.

At the gate of the station, two courier boys in uniform and the store manager of the station were waiting outside to greet them.

Next to it are two electric tricycles used to transport goods. The price is less than 3000, which can be regarded as the initial investment cost.These tricycles are custom-made with the logo of Headwind Logistics on them.

Through the glass window, you can see the situation inside the headwind station. The place where you just entered the door is a large counter with a beautiful all-in-one office computer. The store manager usually works behind the counter.

There are some simple office supplies on the counter, and there is also a special code scanning machine. Just scan the barcode on the express delivery, and you can quickly complete the operation of entering and exiting the warehouse.

On the inside, there are rows of shelves, marked with partitions.

According to the size of the courier, it will be automatically allocated to different partitions for easy search after entering the warehouse. Some special large-scale goods have special storage locations.

After reading it, Lu Mingliang only had one feeling.

High-end, foreign style!

It is quite different from other courier companies.

The store manager briefed Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang on the previous preparations and the current operating status of the station.

The post station still follows the normal 8-hour working system, from 8:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. If you need to work overtime under special circumstances, you will be paid extra for overtime.

At the same time, according to the number of packages delivered by each courier, word-of-mouth evaluation, etc., there will be additional performance wages.

The daily work of the two couriers is to deliver the couriers in the station to the door non-stop, and they can clean up when they are free.

The work of the store manager is more cumbersome. In addition to the basic work of goods in and out of the warehouse, he also needs to calculate the number of courier items in the nearest post station, deal with the couriers of other courier companies, and even provide better services to the surrounding areas. Promote headwind station and so on.

Of course, Pei Qian didn't make strict requirements for these specific tasks. Some store managers just want to fool around, and President Pei doesn't care much.

The store manager and the two couriers seem to be in good spirits.

They all have experience working in other courier companies. This time, they came mainly because the salary level offered by Headwind Logistics was significantly higher than that of other courier companies.

Moreover, the working environment here is also a plus for them.

Headwind Logistics does not need to run across the city like other express delivery, it only needs to deliver express delivery in this small area, which is relatively less tiring.

After reading everything, Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang went back to Moyu Internet Cafe and ordered a cup of coffee each.

"In the future, you will be in charge of the headwind logistics. If you have any questions, you can directly contact me. You can decide some small things by yourself."

"The 100 million dream fund is still reserved for you. If you feel that the job of headwind logistics is not suitable, you can try your favorite field."

"As for the follow-up funds, if you think you need it, just tell me how much money you want."
