I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

On this day, Chen Xi was sitting in the conference room of the new company holding a meeting.

In its early days, Lalahuo mainly focused on the intra-city freight market. Its early business model was relatively simple, mainly making profits by collecting membership fees from drivers. Under this model, Lalahuo provided information matching services for drivers to help them quickly find sources of goods, while also providing convenient freight options for cargo owners.

Later, Lalahuo was no longer limited to C-end users, but launched an enterprise version to provide delivery services to B-end users. In addition to traditional LTL freight, Lalahuo also involved in the same-city and cross-city vehicle business, strengthened the construction of cold chain, and finally developed the rental and sales business of vehicle and after-sales service.

In the previous life, Chen Xi's platform did all the business of LaLaHuo, but the coverage was only in the north and rural areas. In this life, with sufficient funds and the complete logistics system of Toll, it is completely not limited to the northern region.

It can be said that Chen Xi’s preparations this time are much better than in his previous life.

"Our company's model is relatively new in China, and it takes time for people to accept the new model. My plan is to popularize 'hauling goods' in rural areas in the future, so that people in both urban and rural areas can participate. After all, there are fewer vehicles there..." Chen Xi pointed out the future strategic plan to everyone.

"Mr. Chen, our company is just starting out. If we provide delivery services to merchants, this will undoubtedly steal jobs from other logistics companies. Should we wait until we grow bigger before considering it?" said a manager in the company, who was poached by Chen Xi from another company.

"That's fine. We can add a line to our company's advertising slogans in the future, saying that we are the designated partner of the supply and marketing cooperative."

"But……"

"I have already told the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative privately that we will soon start a pilot program in rural areas to transport goods. Isn't this equivalent to early publicity?"

"I understand." The man nodded.

"Mr. Chen, young people nowadays like one-stop service when moving, which means that the car rental must be equipped with a mover, but we don't have that many people..." Another woman raised the question. She was recruited from the Returned Overseas Chinese Association.

"Well, I've thought about this question as well. As far as I know, many professional moving companies currently recruit employees who have not received formal training. They just randomly find someone to work. Moreover, these people don't work for long in each moving company, at most three months. Because nowadays moving companies basically withhold wages, these people want to make money when they can't get their wages. When moving, the moving masters will find all kinds of reasons to raise the price. If you don't increase the money, they will not move people, so many customers pay high moving fees. When we go to transport goods, we must first solve this problem. The moving masters need to undergo strict screening and professional training, and have professional skills such as moving large items, disassembling and assembling home appliances and furniture, and protecting valuables. Of course, this is used to serve high-end customers. Our main feature of transporting goods is still low-price and affordable, that is, drivers can cooperate with other drivers or moving companies to take orders together, but the partners must be matched through the platform..." Chen Xi used to be called La La Huo, and he was still very clear about the messy charging methods.

In fact, there is no way to prevent this kind of thing, although the platform has a complaint mechanism. But if the customer does not pay more, the chef will still find excuses to deliberately slack off and disgust you.

You can only choose one of the two: either focus on the interests of the drivers and movers, or focus on the interests of the customers.

However, most platforms basically choose to focus on the interests of customers, because giving up on customers means that they will not be able to get any work in the future.

"The charging standards and the driver's commission must be strictly calculated and transparent..." Chen Xi continued to talk.

At this time, a baby-faced woman came over and placed a cup of coffee in front of him.

After pouring the coffee, Qian Jiajia returned to her seat and looked at the man in front of her with admiration, her eyes full of little stars.

After the meeting, in Chen Xi's office.

"Don't pour me coffee during the next meeting." Chen Xi sat in the boss chair, looking at the sweet-looking girl in front of him.

"Why? Is it because I did something wrong?" Qian Jiajia asked in a low voice, pouting her lips in grievance.

"No, you're not my secretary. It's not good to do these things in front of others. After all, your current position is not low, and you need to have some prestige in front of others."

"I understand." After hearing this explanation, although Qian Jiajia was a little reluctant, she still nodded and agreed.

"You should stay in the Overseas Returnees Association more often, and try not to be discovered by others when you come here."

"Yes, sir. I will definitely follow the confidentiality agreement." Qian Jiajia saluted him mischievously.

"What's going on with Linxi recently? I haven't been to the association much recently because I'm starting a new company."

"The president went to Huajing University to discuss cooperation, but he seemed unhappy when he came back. It's really strange that the cooperation has already been negotiated."

"Oh? Is it the MBA advanced training class?"

"Hey, Vice President. Didn't you just say that you had never been to the association? How do you know this news?" Qian Jiajia blinked her beautiful big eyes when she heard that.

"Well, I haven't been to the association, but I saw some people discussing it in the group." Chen Xi coughed lightly and made up an excuse.

"Oh~ I see. Yes, in addition to the MBA advanced training class, the president also donated money to Huajing University to help poor college students. In addition, he is also planning to hold various activities and academic exchanges with Huajing University."

"Academic exchange? I'm afraid you're trying to recruit talents." Chen Xi chuckled after hearing this.

"That's about it. Huajing University has tacitly agreed to this practice. The president said this is the official intention. I think this is the reason why Huajing University agreed."

"Linxi has become smarter and now knows how to do things on a big scale..." Chen Xi muttered to himself.

"There's no other way. This is China. If we want to grow bigger and stronger, we must follow the policy." Although Qian Jiajia is a girl, she also understands this truth.

"What is Xu Yun doing recently?" Chen Xi asked again.

"The secretary-general has recently been recruiting engineering talents in the association, saying that she will help them get jobs in Hengxiao. She also often discusses engineering issues with those people and even takes them to the construction site for visits and study."

"Oh, the great Princess Heng has become a civil engineer?"

Chen Xi understood what Xu Yun was up to. Heng Xiao’s core business was real estate, and this was also the business she wanted to control.

"Vice President, why don't you go around the association more often? This will increase your prestige. After all, you are considered an entrepreneurial genius by most people, and everyone is often discussing you in private."

"Look, I'm so busy, how can I have the time to go there?" Chen Xi spread his hands helplessly.

A week later, Xinlu City.

Inside the city's official building, Wu Wanrong sat in his new office, looking at the map in front of him and marking with a pen.

This was originally Qin Feilong's office, but now it has become his exclusive place. Qin Feilong has left here due to his outstanding performance, and Wu Wanrong has taken over his position.

"Xinlu's urban construction and renovation has been completed for the most part. According to the geography of our city, we must actively adapt to the new normal of economic development, continue to adhere to the development concept of city-lake symbiosis, industry-city integration, and livable and business-friendly, as well as the development path of innovation, transformation, and upgrading, and promote new urbanization and agricultural modernization with new industrialization. We must take the construction of the Yangtze River Delta world-class urban agglomeration sub-center as the guide, raise the new benchmark for urban construction, and create a new situation..."

The two men sitting in front of Wu Wanrong listened to their leader's words, and lines of words kept appearing in the small notebooks in their hands.

Qin Feilong's development strategies include land consolidation and industrial agglomeration, urban planning and construction, and investment attraction.

His strategy is similar to Wu Wanrong's, that is, both emphasize the importance of urban planning and construction, and are committed to improving the quality and image of the city. They also focus on industrial development and transformation and upgrading to promote sustained and healthy economic development.

Every new leader comes up with some new tricks. Unlike Qin Feilong, Wu Wanrong places more emphasis on adapting to the new normal, promoting new urbanization and agricultural modernization through new industrialization, while also paying attention to the construction of ecological civilization and comprehensively deepening reform.

The Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone was proposed decades ago. It has been said that the members of the economic zone need to strengthen cooperation, but there has been no significant progress. To be precise, it is the cities around Shanghai that are eating meat with the big brother. Suzhou is a good example.

Xinlu City is a member of the Yangtze River Delta and the capital of Jianghuai Province. Although Jianghuai Province is at the bottom of the Yangtze River Delta, it does not affect the development of Xinlu.

Cities such as Jiangcheng and Rongcheng started to implement the strategy of strengthening provincial capitals very early. Wu Wanrong also wanted to use this method to make Xinlu shine in the Yangtze River Delta.

Facts have proved that his idea is very correct, because according to the situation of a weak province, only by concentrating resources in the provincial capital and developing it with all efforts can the economy of the entire province be boosted.

Except for Qin Feilong and Wu Wanrong, all personnel in the province were transferred this time. It can also be said that the arrangements for personnel across the country have changed.

While serving in certain local leadership positions, Wu Wanrong conducted research on the work of supply and marketing cooperatives, including member services, agricultural product sales, and rural e-commerce development.

He had previously stressed at a meeting that supply and marketing cooperatives, as an important force in serving the "three rural issues", should constantly innovate service models and improve service capabilities. He also encouraged supply and marketing cooperatives to actively integrate into the rural revitalization strategy, give full play to their own advantages, and provide farmers with all-round and multi-level services. At the same time, he also put forward a series of suggestions to promote the reform and development of supply and marketing cooperatives, such as strengthening the union and cooperation between supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers' cooperatives, expanding the service areas of supply and marketing cooperatives, and improving the level of informatization of supply and marketing cooperatives.

After his promotion, Wu Wanrong did not forget his previous work and would occasionally participate in some activities of the supply and marketing cooperative. It can be said that among many leaders, he is one of the ones who understands rural issues better.

"Have you heard about the recent logistics platform for transporting goods on the market?" Wu Wanrong looked at the two people in front of him.

The two stopped writing, looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time.

"Xinlu is a big city with many counties and towns under its jurisdiction, and its vast rural area cannot be ignored. As cadres, we need to pay more attention to the needs at this level on a daily basis. I noticed that the words "supply and marketing cooperative" were included in the slogan of this logistics platform. After much inquiry, it was confirmed that they have indeed established a cooperative relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative, and have helped the supply and marketing cooperative's companies and the vast rural areas to develop logistics business. This is undoubtedly a good thing, and we should fully support it. Moreover, the boss of this company is from Xinlu..." Wu Wanrong folded his hands and said seriously.

When the two people in front of them heard that their leader attached so much importance to it, they nodded and said they would fully cooperate.

At the same time, many similar "hauling goods" vehicles appeared in the streets of Hong Kong. Even the advertising slogans were funny.

"When the goods beep, your head bangs! Moving the refrigerator is faster than ordering takeout. If you are late, I will compensate you for the 'mental horn loss fee'!"

"You cried when your ex moved out? The freighter took everything away with him! The freight was so expensive, and the scumbag's luggage was recycled as waste!"

"Your ex wants to get back together? Why not open TruckDudu? Enter his/her address and enjoy the special service of 'Happy Breakup Truck Light Show'!"

"We deliver mattresses and passengers together. The driver promises not to laugh at your pajama pattern!"

“Important warning: Using HuoDuDu may lead to over-dependence! 1865 users have been fired from gyms this month because they no longer grow muscle!”

"Cargo owner lying down? It doesn't matter, Huodudu will take action! You are responsible for sleepwalking to place the order, and we will perform vertical delivery!"

The business of transporting goods has not yet reached HK. The model of Huodudu is completely unique and has no competitors.

Zhou Sheng sat in the office in a daze. Although Huodudu did well in the early stages, the mainland market had already seen the emergence of people sourcing goods. If the business was expanded there, Huodudu would most likely be defeated.

Soon, he came up with a strategic plan.

That is to avoid the mainland market first and start from Southeast Asia. When Huodudu develops well, it will work with mainland logistics companies to transport goods under the name of an international company.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Sheng's mouth began to rise.

Things change unpredictably. Maybe in a few months, the company that sells goods will go bankrupt.

According to the logistics network that Qulahuo has built across the country, the initial subsidies are a huge sum of money. Zhou Sheng feels that few companies can afford so much money to maintain it.

Because according to what he inquired, it seemed that no organization was investing money to transport the goods.

If you make the plate so big in the early stage and fail to find a sponsor to keep it alive later, it will be completely self-destruction.

Zhou Sheng is indeed a top student. He simply adjusted his thinking and worked out a perfect strategy.

Some people are born to make money. Whether in the entertainment industry or in business, Zhou Sheng doesn't seem to have too many setbacks on his way forward.

"Boss, boss, good news. Someone has taken a fancy to our project and plans to invest in it." At this time, an employee walked into the office with a beaming face.

"Oh, tell them I'm not here and explain that you're going abroad for an inspection." Zhou Sheng replied calmly.

"Why? Isn't it a good thing to have someone investing in you?"

"No reason. It's not the right time yet. What kind of investment does a place as small as HK need? How much business can we have? Let's talk about it later." Zhou Sheng shook his head.

According to his idea, there are only so many people in Hong Kong. Only after Huodudu's business covers Southeast Asia can it raise funds in a high-profile manner.

Today's companies are no different from empty shells. Others invest little but own a large share, which is totally uneconomical. (End of this chapter)
