Chapter 222: The Headwind Station opens

August 3rd.

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

It's been about three weeks since the concept of headwind stations was proposed last month, and so far, many headwind stations have been opened.

The preparation work in the early stage is more troublesome, these 100 headwind stations all have to recruit store managers, couriers, purchase shelves and office supplies, and greet various express companies, specially customize the software for goods out and into the warehouse, etc......

Fortunately, so far, most of the headwind stations can finally start operation.

Pei Qian attaches great importance to this matter, after all, in his opinion, making games is risky, and the risk is quite large, and he may make money if he is not careful.

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, and it is a very good success story to have been losing money since its launch.

Of course, the takeaway is not completely uneaten, and the number of people who order it is gradually increasing, and there are many repeat customers.

However, due to the fact that there are many cases of loss and damage of the tableware and the labor cost itself, it is possible to share these costs evenly and achieve profitability only when the number of users is large enough.

Moreover, although the popularity of fish takeaway is slowly increasing, more and more people are ordering food in the surrounding area, and the labor cost required to expand to a larger area will have to be doubled.

So until now, Fish Takeaway has continued to lose money, which is maintained quite well.

With the successful experience of this piece, Pei Qian naturally has high hopes for headwind logistics.

Bringing Lu Mingliang over today is to let him familiarize himself with the business and take over this job as soon as possible.

In the early days, each of the 100 headwind stations was equipped with at least three employees, a store manager (responsible for sitting in the store, receiving express delivery from other companies, warehousing and delivery, waiting for customers to pick up, brand promotion, etc.) and two couriers, and the salary cost of personnel alone had to be more than 10,000 yuan.

Since the 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 at least make Mr. Pei lose more than one million per month.

As for the location of these headwind stations......

It is mainly in the populated areas and economically prosperous areas of Jingzhou City.

After all, in Pei Qian's view, this is completely a public welfare undertaking, and in order to serve more people, it is natural to open it in a place with many people.

Of course, Pei Qian himself also has private messages, and has opened a headwind station in the community 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 the goods to his door, and he doesn't need to run errands to get it.

As for Shenhua Haojing and Touching Fish Internet Cafe, the courier company will basically deliver it to the front desk, so there is no need to open a headwind station.

Coming to the headwind post station of Mingyun Villa, Pei Qian first looked at the door's face.

This post station is open behind the fishing Internet café, renting an ordinary shop, and the location is very good.

Nearby is the newly renovated, soon-to-be-opened bar and chess and card room, although this place was originally quite deserted, but as soon as these three stores opened, it was inexplicably like that!

As for why such a location was chosen, it is mainly because the Headwind Post Station 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 spend more rent.

Lu Mingliang and Pei Qian came to the outside of the Headwind Station, and their first feeling was quite shocking.

This place looks pretty tall!

Originally, Lu Mingliang heard that he was in charge of logistics, and subconsciously thought about the express delivery.

He has seen some X-pass Express outlets, which are particularly unparticular in all aspects, and even the signboards are very casual, and some simply do not hang signboards.

As for the inside of the outlet, to put it bluntly, it is a warehouse, which is full of things, and no one cleans it, and the ground is full of dust.

Dressed in dirty overalls, the couriers tossed and kicked the messy delivery boxes onto electric tricycles and transported them to the neighborhood......

But that's what other courier outlets look like.

The headwind station here is completely different.

The rented shop is quite beautiful, and the signage outside is also custom-made, and there is even an English: Upwind Station, which even has a tendency to overpower the bar next to it.

Of course, the decoration of the bar next to it is more gorgeous, or more bells and whistles, while the decoration of the headwind post station is relatively simple and textured, not so eye-catching, but from the point of view of grade, it is not lost at all.

At the entrance of the post station, two uniformed courier brothers and the manager of this post station were already waiting outside to greet them.

Next to it are two electric tricycles used to transport goods, the price is less than 3000, which is also the initial investment cost. These trikes are custom-made and have the headwind logistics logo on them.

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

There are some simple office supplies on the counter, and there is a special code scanning machine, as long as you scan the tracking number on the express, you can quickly complete the operation of warehousing and warehousing.

And the inner position is a row of shelves, marked with partitions.

According to the size of the express, it will be automatically assigned to different partitions after warehousing for easy finding, and some special bulky goods have special storage locations.

After reading it, Lu Mingliang only had one feeling.

High-end, foreign!

It is simply different from other courier companies.

The store manager briefly reported to Pei Qian and Lv Mingliang on the preliminary preparations and the current operation status of the station.

The post house still follows the normal 8-hour work system, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and there will be additional overtime pay in case of special circumstances.

At the same time, there will be additional performance pay according to the number of deliveries and word-of-mouth evaluations of each courier.

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

The work of the store manager is more cumbersome, in addition to the basic work such as warehousing and outbound of goods, it is also necessary to calculate the number of recent express parcels at the station, be responsible for dealing with the couriers of other express companies, and even better promote the headwind station to the surrounding area.

Of course, Pei Qian didn't make any hard requirements for these specific jobs, and some store managers just wanted to mess around, and Mr. Pei wouldn't care much about it.

The store manager and the two couriers all looked very energetic.

They all have experience working in other express companies, and this time they came, mainly because the salary level offered by Headwind Logistics is significantly higher than that of other express companies.

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

Headwind logistics does not need to run the whole city like other couriers, and only needs to send express delivery to this small area, which is relatively not so tiring.

After reading them all, Pei Qian and Lu Mingliang returned to the fishing Internet café and ordered a cup of coffee each.

"In the future, you will be responsible for the headwind logistics, if you have any problems, come to me directly, and decide some small things yourself."

"The one million dream fund will be kept for you, and if you feel that the work of headwind logistics is not suitable, you can also try it in your favorite field."

"As for the follow-up funds, if you feel that you need it, just say it directly, and how much money you want will be directly said."
