044 Distance cannot produce beauty

Raising your hand may not necessarily be a wave, or a slap in the face.

The person riding a white horse may not be a prince, or a monk Tang.

Qi Nian and Tao Jin solved the problem of Cundao Express, which is equivalent to the NPC for newcomers in the game. Their pair of rookies is still far from playing the boss.

Express delivery seems very simple. If it is really that simple, how could there be rumors of express delivery companies going bankrupt every day?

This is an industry where the fittest survives, and it is a battlefield where the weak are everywhere.

All the strong men stood on the piles of corpses of their predecessors.

Although Qi Nian and Tao Jinxuan's outlets are very good, because the customers in the Yellow Fish Mouth area are too scattered, many couriers have to travel half an hour to get to the customer's side. The number of orders per day is small, and the courier's commission must be subsidized by the outlets. This is the same as the one subsidized by Boss Sun to Qi Nian to Cundao for one order.

The new outlet has been open for more than ten days and is losing money every day. And it is not until the end of the month when the couriers are paid.

There are nine people in this outlet. Qi Nian and Tao Jin can not receive wages, but the seven couriers they hired cannot receive wages. Each person will have to pay a guaranteed salary of 3,000 yuan per month, and the seven people will be 21,000 yuan.

Based on the current daily express delivery income, you will lose at least 10,000 yuan a month.

After decorating, buying equipment, and buying a car, Qi Nian and Tao Jin's family were only enough to last for two months. These family foundations had been all saved on Cundao for so long.

Express delivery is a fixed business, the same every day. If no changes are made, you will continue to lose money.

Qi Nian calculated this account very clearly, and Tao Jin calculated it even more clearly. Since its opening, he has lost two diamond-level equipment. By the end of the month, he will lose four. Tao Jin's heart is bleeding: My God. I have been working for half a year and added some money to get a diamond-level equipment. Now I have to pay four in a month. Isn't this too sour?

Tao Jin asked Qi Nian when the courier was not at the outlet: "Brother A Nian, what should you do? If this continues, we will go bankrupt."

"Yes." Qi Nian nodded, agreeing with Tao Jin's judgment very much.

When Tao Jin saw Qi Nianguang nodding and said nothing, he became a little anxious: "Or how many couriers we can reduce? In this way, at least we can get the money at the end of the month."

Qi Nian said: "What did you say? I just recruited the couriers and reduced them now? This is what people do. Besides, we may not be able to deliver the express delivery every day. If we reduce the delivery, who will deliver the express delivery?"

"What should I do?"

Qi Nian thinks that this matter needs to be fundamentally solved, but Qi Nian doesn’t know how to solve it fundamentally.

Although I have consulted Boss Zhao of the county company before, Boss Zhao’s suggestion is to provide good services first and do marketing on the basis of ensuring service quality.

But now it seems that before the service quality is completed, the express delivery outlet went bankrupt. The far-reaching water cannot be solved and the near-fire is fire.

Boss Zhao plays with a big plate, and he can adapt to the situation and use nine lids to cover ten cylinders. However, Qi Nian only has one cylinder, and there is not even a lid.

When he returned to Cundao at night, Qi Nian recorded the data of the day into the computer and stared at the charts he drew.

When the moon rose to the top of Taiping Mountain, Qi Nian finally thought of a countermeasure.

I didn't sleep well at night, and Qi Nian was still confused when he woke up the next morning.

He just walked into the yard with his cell phone and found that the door of the express house was open. When he went in, he saw that it was Tian Shuangshuang sitting inside.

"Shuangshuang, why did you come to work so early?" Qi Nian picked up his phone and looked at it. "It's only 5:30 now!"

Tian Shuangshuang took out a thermos cup and handed it to Qi Nian: "I'll make breakfast for you."

It turned out that Tian Shuangshuang was not a dedicated employee who came to work early, but instead brought breakfast for him to eat before Qi Nian went to the 6 o'clock boat.

Qi Nian smiled and said, "Did you make it? What delicious is it?"

When I opened it, I saw two pieces of red bean cakes on the upper layer and small dumplings on the lower layer.

Qi Nian went back to the house to wash and change his clothes. He sat opposite Tian Shuangshuang and ate Tian Shuangshuang's love breakfast while listening to Tian Shuangshuang's report on his work.

Compared with the troubled Yellow Fish Mouth outlet, the operation of the Cundao Collection Point is really good.

After the hard work of store decoration, Tian Shuangshuang gradually began to have the demeanor of a general. Since she started to take charge of the collection point, she has made some adjustments seriously. In addition to Brother Jiang, she also hired two more people to replace Qi Nian and Tao Jin.

The amount of pieces now is more than before. In the past, Qi Nian also rode an assisted bike to deliver goods, but now Tian Shuangshuang has purchased another electric tricycle for convenience of delivery. It is more than enough to use two electric tricycles to deliver the goods from Cundao, and it can be managed for at least one or two years.

In addition, because an electric tricycle was added, Tian Shuangshuang designed a routing diagram using a computer according to the method taught by Qi Nian. The delivery routes of the electric tricycle were calculated. In this way, there would be no situation where the electric tricycle was driving around the island like Tao Jin used to.

Tian Shuangshuang also numbered the shelves of the express house, and each self-pickup express package was also written in a big pen and placed on the corresponding shelves. This trick was learned by Tian Shuangshuang from the county outlets and other collection points when decorating the county.

She also got along with the girls on duty at the outlets and collection points, and added chat methods to interact with them at any time.

The only regret is that those outlets and collection points are equipped with express management apps, which are convenient to find, count express delivery, calculate income, and output data. Tian Shuangshuang is still using the excel taught by Qi Nian to make tables manually.

Qi Nian comforted her and said that after a while, she would also ask the IT team to develop an app.

"It costs a lot of money to develop an app?" Although Tian Shuangshuang is a rich girl, she has always had no idea about money. But since she started working with Qi Nian for express delivery, her concept of money is too clear. She earns 80 cents every day, can she have no idea about money? Of course, another reason is that the money given by her family and the money earned from express delivery are different, and Tian Shuangshuang can still distinguish this. As a partner of the project, Tian Shuangshuang is actually very poor and has to spend every penny to be practical.

Oh by the way, there is no penny anymore. It is said that even the famous nursery rhyme "I picked up a penny on the side of the road" has been changed to "I picked up a dollar on the side of the road".

Don't think about it, work hard and make money! Because in a short while, the lyrics may be changed again.

"It doesn't cost much to develop an app." Qi Nian waved his hand. Qi Nian was not familiar with Tian Shuangshuang's decoration materials, but he was very familiar with software development. When he was in college, he often worked part-time. When he developed the same thing, the price of a part-time college student team was only one-fifth of the market. It was very cost-effective.

After listening to the work report, Qi Nian hurried to the dock to catch the 6 o'clock ship.

Qi Nian arrived at the Yellow Fish Piercing outlet on time at 8:30. At this time, Tao Jin and the couriers were already sorting the express delivery. Qi Nian asked them to stop and convened everyone to hold a meeting, and told them what they planned yesterday. All the employees were very happy when they heard this idea: This should have been the case.

Qi Nian’s idea is actually a change to the existing process. Hotan Shuangshuang’s routing optimization principle is a principle for Cundao.

The courier is responsible for the terminal collection and delivery of the last kilometer, and generally does not involve the trunk line. The trunk line transportation of the Yellow Fish outlets is handled by Qi Nian and another courier. If the time is early, the courier packages collected will be delivered to the county company by Qi Nian. If the time is late, the ship back to Cundao will be delivered by another courier.

In the morning, the courier usually drives the courier packages for the day. After sorting at the outlet, all couriers ride the assisted bike to deliver. After delivery, they ride the assisted bike back and pull another batch back and deliver it.

The loading capacity of the assisted vehicle is limited, and the Wuling van, which has the strongest loading capacity, spends most of its time in a temporary parking lot near outlets, and its maximum effect is not fully utilized.

This van can be regarded as a mobile outlet.

There are quite a lot of people among the couriers who have driver's licenses. In the future, the goods will be taken back to the outlet for sorting, and then taken to each person's area by a van to unload the goods, and loaded them on the auxiliary vehicles. Whoever sends the goods first, who will drive the car back to the outlet to get the next batch of goods, and then deliver them to everyone. This will save everyone from wasting time on the road by riding the auxiliary vehicles to and from the goods.

After two days of running-in period and time adjustment, the line continues to be good, the effect will appear on the third day. I usually have to work for a day, and I will only finish work until 3 pm on that day.

There was nothing to do next. Qi Nian gave everyone a holiday. He drove the Wuling van to the county company early to deliver goods, and he still had time to have a meal with Tao Jin when he came back.

Qi Nian poured a glass of beer for Tao Jin and asked, "A Jin, how are you doing with that customer service lady?"

Tao Jin drank a sip of ice beer, burped and said, "Yeah. OK."

"If it's OK, I'll find a chance to propose marriage to you."

"What are you talking about?"

After routing optimization, I feel very good every day, very good, and very good!

Until the end of the month.

On the end of the month, Tao Jin finally realized that his dream of keeping his diamond equipment was completely shattered.

On the end of the month, Qi Nian was frightened by the financial numbers: How did the routing optimize, the cost decreased, and the losses were even greater than expected?

The originally expected bankruptcy time was two months. Once calculated using the new financial figures, bankruptcy will be half a month later. Is it romantic?
