Chapter 272 Unexplained Confidence
Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei sat on the sofa, discussing matters concerning the shipment of goods.
The Yang Yang Yang brand design company was indeed very popular recently, with daily sales reaching new highs.
However, there was a significant problem: all orders were placed online, and thus, goods had to be delivered via express courier.
It could be said that express delivery was the lifeblood of the Yang Yang Yang brand design company.
In the past, the express delivery network was highly developed.
When Liu Ran shipped packages, the cost per item was very low, only a few cents, due to the daily shipment volume of one million pieces.
Of course, to ensure quality, Liu Ran usually opted for one yuan per order, which was factored into the cost.
But if express delivery companies refused to cooperate with them from now on, it would be disastrous.
Liu Xiaomei raised her head and said, "What about building our own logistics system?"
"Our financial situation is very good right now, and at least for the next six months to a year, this imitation herbal tea will not appear."
"Our company can continue to grow at a high speed, so our financial situation is excellent."
"If we were to spend ten or twenty billion to build our own logistics system, we would never encounter such a situation again."
Su Ya shook her head and said to Liu Xiaomei, "Building a logistics system is not just about money; it's incredibly complex."
"Firstly, if we were to build our own logistics system, it would take at least two months."
"Think about what our situation would be if we couldn't sell anything for these two months. Who would still remember our company after two months?"
"And if we can't sell goods for two months, we won't have the money to build our own logistics system."
"Furthermore, our company serves the entire nation. Building such a logistics system, ensuring both safety and timeliness, is not something that ten or twenty billion can solve, nor can one hundred or two hundred billion. It's a colossal undertaking."
"The final point is that even if we build our own logistics system, it doesn't guarantee that problems won't arise."
"With so many employees, how do we know if there will be fakes again next time? Will there be moles among the employees? These are very real issues."
As Su Ya finished speaking, Liu Ran and Liu Xiaomei simultaneously patted their foreheads in distress.
They suddenly realized that while they thought the company was smoothly progressing towards rapid expansion, the opponent had, with this single move regarding logistics, pushed their company to the brink of collapse.
Su Ya looked up at Chen Yang and said, "So, Mr. Chairman's husband, do you know how much trouble your words and actions, your wilfulness, have brought to our company?"
"Although Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui are detestable, they brought good news. Regardless of their conditions, regardless of whether we could agree to them, at least we could negotiate. At least our company could survive."
"Now, you've completely offended them. I'm afraid this logistics problem has become an unsolvable knot."
Chen Yang pouted. Seeing the three women with worried expressions, he simply smiled and took out his phone to play the video of what happened with Zhang Ziqi at the food court earlier.
In the video, Wang Mei and a few other women knelt on the ground, admitting that Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui had instructed them to have Wang Mei deliberately assault Zhang Ziqi and force Zhang Ziqi to admit that the Yang Yang Yang company had made a mistake.
After watching the video, Liu Ran's brows furrowed. She said angrily, "It's indeed them. I'm afraid the switching of our goods is also related to them."
Chen Yang said to Liu Ran, "Wife, it's obvious even if you use your toes to think that this incident was absolutely their doing."
"Of course, with just the Liu family, they absolutely couldn't control the entire Qingzhou city's logistics. So, there must have been instructions from others behind the scenes, like that Ma Sanzhong."
"So, after you agreed to Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui's conditions, they would have continued to push their luck and be insatiable. They wouldn't know when to stop!"
"This time, they took shares, and you thought it was cooperation for rapid development. But with teammates like them, greedy and insatiable, they would eventually drag our company down."
Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei all nodded. Chen Yang's words made sense; working with the Liu family would not lead to long-term success.
Su Ya frowned and said, "I have to say, Chen Yang, you have a point. But the reality facing us is that our company is in a complete crisis; our goods cannot be shipped out."
"No matter how many more orders we get, no matter how good our products are, we cannot deliver them to our customers. So, what should we do?"
"Building a logistics system is not feasible. Are we going to set up distributors in various places?"
"This way, we won't be able to guarantee the authenticity of the goods and will lose our cost advantage. We may fall into a quagmire in the future."
Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, "Of course not! Our direct sales model is inherently the best. Why would we go back to a distributor model?"
"As for the express delivery issue, I'll handle it. Give me a day, and I'll see if I can find other couriers to replace Ma Sanzhong's people."
Liu Ran shook her head upon hearing this, "That is likely very difficult. Although the express delivery industry is vast and has many practitioners, for some reason, they are all controlled by Ma Sanzhong."
"It's almost impossible to find alternative couriers within a day."
Chen Yang waved his hand, "Let's try. I also know someone who is in the express delivery business. His courier business has grown quite large, so I plan to go and inquire with him."
"You all continue to deal with the aftermath of the fake goods. Leave the express delivery matters to me. I will notify you as soon as I have any news."
After speaking, Chen Yang turned and left the office.
Liu Ran sighed and stood up, saying, "Alright, let's leave this matter to Chen Yang. We will continue with public relations to minimize the impact of the fake goods."
"Also, we should try to turn misfortune into fortune, and unfavorable factors into favorable ones."
"Through this incident, we will further expand the awareness and influence of the Yang Yang Yang brand."
"By using this incident of swapping goods, forging fakes, and poisoning, we will thoroughly establish the attitude and brand nature of our Yang Yang Yang company, letting the whole country know about our company."
Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei both looked up at Liu Ran. Su Ya covered her mouth and laughed, "Liu Ran, are you that confident that Chen Yang can resolve the express delivery issue?"
"Aren't you afraid that after we spend money, deal with the company's aftermath, and promote our brand, our company will collapse due to lack of logistics?"
Liu Ran scratched her head. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't know when it started, but she had an inexplicable confidence in Chen Yang!
