Chapter 285 World-Class Logistics
Inside the headquarters of Lantian Building at this moment.
Wu Feng, his arm bandaged, entered Liu Ran's office. Upon seeing Chen Yang, Wu Feng instinctively wanted to kneel and express his gratitude.
This was not only because Chen Yang had re-treated his arm, saving it from permanent disability, but more importantly, because Chen Yang had dealt with Ma Sanzhong, avenging his son-in-law and his brothers.
However, Wu Feng quickly regained his composure. Chen Yang was currently just the security captain of the company, and clearly had his own difficulties.
Wu Feng let out a hearty laugh and nodded at Chen Yang, saying, "Captain Chen, thank you for yesterday. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise, my old comrades and I wouldn't have survived."
Chen Yang simply nodded and smiled, "It was a small matter, no need to mention it again."
Wu Feng understood and nodded. He then sat down on the sofa, while Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei sat opposite him with documents.
As the founders of Yangyangyang Company, Liu Xiaomei and Su Ya were shareholders, and Yangyangyang Company was like their child.
Although Liu Ran held the vast majority of shares and was the sole CEO, these two women were undoubtedly deeply emotional about Yangyangyang Company.
Liu Xiaomei furrowed her brow and said to Wu Feng, "Mr. Wu, we have asked you here to discuss the construction of our Yangyangyang Company's logistics system. We don't understand much about logistics, so we wanted to ask for your advice."
"If Yangyangyang Company were to build its own express delivery system, similar to JD Logistics of JD.com, how much money and time would Yangyangyang Company have to invest? And what would be the maintenance costs?"
Su Ya followed up by asking, "Mr. Wu, what do you think about the feasibility?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng's demeanor changed dramatically. When it came to his professional expertise, he was naturally very confident.
He began, "The three CEOs, I understand what you mean. Regarding building Yangyangyang's logistics system, I've actually considered it before."
"Firstly, from the items I've transported for your company these past few days, I've observed that the current shipping volume is already sufficient to support an express delivery company."
"So, if we can maintain a daily shipping volume of one million orders in the future, then building Yangyangyang's logistics system will not result in a loss."
"Secondly, we have the greatest advantage: our products are clearly priced and can be sold externally. If we establish Yangyangyang storage points in a hundred cities across the country in the future, these storage points can be used in the form of supermarkets to exclusively sell Yangyangyang Company's items."
"This will greatly increase sales, as many people are not accustomed to online shopping, and offline shopping will be a crucial support point."
"Of course, there's a third point, which is the most important: it can guarantee the authenticity and timeliness of Yangyangyang's goods."
"I believe Yangyangyang Company will definitely expand its product lines in the future, which will involve some items that are not easy to transport, require timely delivery, or even fresh ingredients. Ordinary logistics won't suffice. Only by establishing our own stores nationwide can we successfully sell them externally."
"Therefore, if our Yangyangyang logistics system is successfully built, it will not only be a logistics system but, more importantly, also a sales system, allowing more products to be directly purchased by customers."
"Basically, if the logistics system is successfully built, the farthest locations can be reached with same-day delivery and next-day receipt, and many cities can achieve same-day orders and same-day receipt, or even delivery within two hours."
"This greatly improves logistics speed and reduces logistics costs. Therefore, considering all factors, I believe building Yangyangyang's logistics system is very necessary and highly feasible."
"As for the financial expenditure, the initial investment would be around five billion yuan. Five billion yuan is enough to cover the major first, second, and third-tier cities."
"Moreover, this capital can sustain the operation of the logistics system for more than a year. Once it is fully mature and the logistics system is no longer a drain, it can even contribute back to the parent company."
"So, at present, the only thing lacking is capital."
Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei exchanged glances, looking at Wu Feng in surprise. They had thought Wu Feng was just someone involved in express delivery, but they didn't expect him to have considered everything so thoroughly.
Liu Ran furrowed her brow and asked Wu Feng, "Mr. Wu, if that's the case, then you would join Yangyangyang Company. We would give you shares and a basic salary. Would you be willing?"
Wu Feng immediately replied, "President Liu, you flatter me. I don't need shares. I am willing to join Yangyangyang Company and become an employee of Yangyangyang Company."
"My subordinates and all future logistics personnel will also be official employees of Yangyangyang Company."
Liu Ran was taken aback, not expecting Wu Feng's demands to be so low. Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei were also quite astonished.
Su Ya couldn't help but touch her pretty nose and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, forgive my frankness, but if you join our company as an employee, your salary will have to be significantly reduced."
"You are currently in charge of logistics, and I imagine the monthly profits are quite high. But as an official employee, the basic salary plus commission might only be around a hundred thousand yuan per month. Can you accept such a drop?"
Wu Feng quickly waved his hands, "The three CEOs, please don't worry. My demands for money are truly low. As long as the company can allocate an apartment for my daughter and me to live in, I will be completely satisfied."
"I truly have no other requests. In fact, I am willing to work for Yangyangyang Company because I am indebted to your company's Captain Chen, and I want to repay him."
"Also, at Yangyangyang Company, I can realize my lifelong dream of personally building a massive logistics system."
"If it's possible in the future, to expand our Yangyangyang logistics system to the entire world and become the king of express delivery, then I would have no regrets in death."
Liu Ran and the other two women all nodded. Then Liu Ran turned to Chen Yang and asked, "Chen Yang, what do you think?"
Chen Yang smiled gently and said, "Of course it's possible. Now, our only problem is how to get five billion yuan? I suggest we directly apply for a bank loan."
Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei were stunned simultaneously and said, "A loan? Wouldn't the risk be too high to borrow so much? We can completely seek financing and let others invest in our company."
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "External investment means they will take our shares and profits! A bank loan would be pressure-free, as our cash flow is very healthy."
"In any case, let's decide on this! You sign the contracts, and I'll call Hu Zhi. Let's have him extend sixty billion yuan for the initial loan. How about that?"
Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei were all dumbfounded, looking at Chen Yang as if he were an idiot.
Then Su Ya burst into laughter and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, do you know what sixty billion yuan represents? How could a bank possibly give our company such a large loan?"
Chen Yang took out his phone and casually said, "It's okay, just make a call to Hu Zhi and ask. We'll know."
