Chapter 2189 Heavy Duty
Under the leadership of apprentice Erhu, Duan Yun entered the warehouse of the newly completed logistics center for a visit.

As soon as they entered the logistics workshop, Duan Yun and Zhou Yupeng, who was traveling with him, felt their eyes light up instantly.

In this warehouse covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, there are millions of pieces of goods stored, but all the goods are neatly arranged, and the classification is quite elegant. On both sides of the aisle, there is a long The [-]-meter cargo conveyor belt is connected to the loading and unloading ports of the warehouse and the warehouse respectively. Hundreds of workers are sorting and storing the goods, and then sorting the goods that need to be transshipped and put them on the conveyor belt and loading them into the corresponding trucks. The whole process is busy and busy. orderly.

Although this logistics warehouse cannot achieve a high degree of automation, it is already a very efficient logistics center in this era. Almost every 3 to 5 minutes, a truck drives in and out of here, except for Tianyin Logistics. Except for the company’s own trucks, most of them are trucks from other companies. The farthest one will go to QQHE in the northeast. It can be said that the goods transported from this warehouse basically cover half of the country except XJ and XZ. China.

"At present, our logistics center in Shanghai is connected to 273 freight outlets across the country, basically covering all the provincial capitals..." Erhu looked proud at this time, and only listened and continued: "Speaking of the cost of our truck freight Compared with the cost of railways, the cost is still much higher, but it is much better than in the past. For the same one ton of goods, the cost of transporting the same one ton of goods from Shanghai to Shanxi a few years ago was more than five times that of trains. The better the repair, starting this year, the cost of car transportation is only about three times higher than that of trains, thanks to the country's road construction..."

"That's right, if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first." Zhou Yupeng said with a smile when he heard the words.

"The key is that the infrastructure around Shanghai is well-developed, and it is precisely because of this that I put our logistics center in Shanghai." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Then our goods basically rely on trucks now. to transport?"

"It's all impossible." Erhu shook his head, and continued: "There are still 1/3 of the goods that need to be transported by train, especially in some remote provinces in the north. Now the choice of whether to use cars or trains is entirely based on The goods are ordered. Although the cost of the car is high, it is convenient and fast. The cost of the train is low, but the cycle is too long. Many products need to be seen for ten and a half months before they can be shipped. It is not easy to deal with the iron boss..."

When he said this, Erhu also showed a bit of helplessness on his face.

Even in the mid-90s, the train was still the most important means of transportation in China, especially for large quantities of goods with long distances. The train was almost the only choice. Only more than 3000 kilometers, so in a short period of time, train transportation still plays an irreplaceable role.

However, in terms of the size of the transport fleet, Tianyin Group's logistics company can definitely be called the largest in China. After ten years of operation, it has more than 900 trucks, and the monthly cargo volume can reach tens of thousands of tons , this is a very scary figure, and it can also be seen how strong Tianyin Group's shipments are.

"I'm still very optimistic about your side." Duan Yun glanced at his apprentice Erhu, and then said: "However, you must learn to reduce transportation costs as much as possible, such as vehicle maintenance and route planning. Your side must Strict planning and management, the cost is compressed through management, I believe you also understand this truth."

"Master is right. Actually, I have been studying." Erhu nodded, and then said: "When I was in Shenzhen, I also learned a lot from American experts. In the past, I thought that logistics was about managing well For the fleet, it is enough to train good drivers, but after hearing the opinions of these American experts, it really opened my eyes, or the United States is developed, and the method of logistics management is really advanced. After listening to others Lectures, I feel that I have been doing nothing for so many years..."

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Duan Yun laughed, and then said: "In order to hire these American experts, our company has spent more than one billion yuan. This is a very good learning for you to improve yourself. If you have the opportunity, if you have time, you must keep learning.”

"It took more than one billion!?" Hearing the number reported by Duan Yun, not only Erhu, but even Zhou Yupeng beside him were stunned.

Inviting experts to give lectures is a very normal thing. Many domestic companies have done this, mainly to train managers and key employees, but I have never heard of any company that would spend more than one billion yuan to invite experts to give lectures. This seemed unimaginable to them.

"General experts' teaching fees are of course cheap, but top experts, if you pay less money, they won't come at all." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "These American experts have very successful and rich management experience. , People in the United States can earn millions of dollars a year by their own ability, so if there is no high tuition fee, there is no need for them to travel half the world to teach in China, I say you understand."

"So that's how it is." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Er Hu seemed to understand something.

"Some experience is priceless. Although our company has developed so large, it does not mean that the company has no problems at all. In fact, there are many internal management problems. If these problems cannot be resolved reasonably, it will limit The future development of our company." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Two tigers, you have to remember that although you are doing a good job now, you must always maintain a humble and learning attitude. Now the times are advancing rapidly. If you don't If you study more, you will be eliminated by the times sooner or later, and you have to look farther, not only to pay attention to your domestic counterparts, but also to see more of the outside world.”

"Master, I know." Erhu said.

"The logistics center system in Shanghai is a very important step for our group company to develop the e-commerce network. In the future, your workload will be very heavy, and you will have to keep learning and improving." Duan Yun glanced at Erhu, and then said: "If If you can't keep up with the company's development pace, then don't blame me for replacing you directly regardless of the relationship between mentor and apprentice. I always speak from the front, because the success of this e-commerce plan is related to the next few years of the group company Even the development prospect of more than ten years can only succeed, not fail, you must keep this in mind for me.”
