Chapter 1184 Why Join
At first, Su Chen thought he was just going to an unknown place to eat, but he didn't expect that it would be a restaurant in Beijing.

In the car, he asked casually, "Are we the only two tonight?"

"Not necessarily, there should be other merchants." Zhao Cheng replied, "If it was just us, then Ma or Wei Jinbo would definitely not invite us to this place."

"That's true, let's go and have a look first." Su Chen said.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Jingcheng Hotel, got out of the car, and went straight to the predetermined place.

On the way, Zhao Cheng met a lot of local merchants, and everyone greeted each other. It could be seen that the organizers attached great importance to this gathering, and almost booked an entire hall to entertain the merchants.

"An Il-76 cargo plane can carry more than US$50 worth of goods. When it arrives in Russia, the goods can be sold for at least US$90. The profit margin is huge."

Zhao Cheng whispered: "It's no wonder that this bitch has reserved such a floor hall to invite us to dinner. It seems that this bitch is not a good person."

"As for whether the comers are not good, or the kind people don't come, let's read it first." Su Chen said, "It's useless to guess now, anyway, people hold channels in their hands, unless these people don't want to do this, otherwise they will definitely You still have to pay people honestly.”

"That's right." Zhao Cheng nodded.

The two found a seat at random and sat down. The table was already filled with people, both men and women, and there were people ranging in age from twenty to fifty or sixty.

Anyway, we all know each other. After a simple greeting, we sat down and drank some water.

A middle-aged man said, "Did Xiao Zhao offend someone recently? Why do officials come to check your shop and warehouse every day?"

The others also looked over curiously.

"It's probably because I haven't done something here." Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "After all, it's for the safety of the surrounding merchants, so I came more frequently. Under their supervision, I have already stepped up the rectification."

He did not specify the cause of this incident.

Because even if you know who did this kind of thing, if you don't have evidence, there is absolutely no need to tell it when you see someone.

Otherwise, you will cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

Naturally, these people would not believe Zhao Cheng's answer.

But when I saw that he refused to say it clearly, I just laughed.

"Since the higher-level department requires rectification, you can only rectify and strive to pass the rectification as soon as possible, and then open the door to do business. Now the competition is very high. If you don't operate this industry for a few days, the price may change several times."

"It's true, let's make the correction as soon as possible. After all, the loss of one day of closing the door is hundreds of thousands. If the family has a small business, it must not be able to withstand the toss."

"Hey, what do you think these people called us here tonight?" Someone suddenly brought up this topic.

"There must be something that calls all of us to come to this place, otherwise how could everyone gather here?"

"I saw that he was definitely going to attack us. After all, we have been taking the K3 train all the time. If we are all recruited into the charter flight industry, he will definitely make a lot of money."

"Whatever, anyway, I wish I could send the goods to Russia in just one day. After all, the more you delay, the more you will lose."

"Yeah, it's just that I can't get enough goods for a plane every time, or I want to charter a plane."

"Come on, although chartering a flight seems simple, in fact there are many things to operate. If you don't have a few things, you will definitely not be able to play in this industry."

"That's true."

"I don't want to discuss these things now. I've been hungry for a day. If I don't serve food, I probably have to go back."

"..."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the waiters began to bring the meals one after another.

When the food was ready, there was a sudden sound from the stereo in the hall.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

I saw a man dressed in some serious clothes appearing in everyone's sight holding a microphone.

The man was probably in his early 30s and early 40s.

He was accompanied by a woman who was only about 25 or [-] years old.

The appearance is mediocre, even a little chunky.

"This person is Ma Ye, and the woman next to him is Wei Jinbo." Zhao Cheng explained in a low voice, "It seems that Wei Jinbo really wants us to join her alliance."

Su Chen nodded calmly.

"Thank you to everyone who came here today." Ma Ye smiled and talked eloquently, "I saw many familiar faces on Silk Street and Yabao Road, thank you all for coming to this dinner tonight.

It also proves that we have more and more merchants in several places. This is a very good phenomenon, which shows that these places have been recognized by everyone. "

"Master Ma, do you have any orders for us to come here tonight?" someone in the crowd asked.

Master Ma smiled, "I dare not talk about orders, I just invite everyone here for a meal, discuss our future by the way, and introduce the person next to me, she is our Lianzhou International Logistics Company Ms. Wei, the person in charge of the freight forwarder."

"Presumably everyone knows what our logistics company does, so tonight I would like to invite everyone to discuss how to grow through our logistics company."

No one moved their chopsticks, quietly waiting for his next words.

Ma Ye continued: "Everyone, don't be nervous, you should eat and drink, I just want to say one thing here, if you are willing to join our logistics alliance, you can enjoy our charter flight discount.

Of course, if you don't want to join, we don't force it. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. It's just that we have some discounts for alliance members. If you are not a member of our alliance, you will not be able to enjoy this discount.

Well, I won't delay everyone's meal, we will talk about this topic later, everyone, use your chopsticks, otherwise the food will not taste good when it is cold. "

really.

During the meal, Ma Ye was not talking about the alliance, but was toasting around with cups.

We waited until everyone had enough to eat and drink before calling everyone into an empty conference room.

And there is a brochure on the table in the meeting room.

Wait until everyone arrives one after another.

Ma Ye and Wei Jinbo sat on the top.

"Everyone, I'm full now. Let's get down to business. The brochure on your table is about our alliance and various matters related to joining our alliance."

Ma Ye said, "I think everyone must have sent a lot of goods to Russia in these years, but the K3 train is not safe, and the speed is also slow, the best way is to choose a charter flight.

However, charter flights also have their disadvantages. After all, charter flights require the right to operate routes and flight time slots, and we happen to have this resource in our hands.

If you join our alliance, we can send your goods out in time according to the flight schedule, avoiding unnecessary troubles. "

Everyone didn't speak, and started to flip through the booklets on the table.

Su Chen also picked up the brochure, which basically introduced the benefits of joining the alliance, and also the annual fee for joining the alliance.

In fact, at first glance, this alliance seems to provide convenience to these merchants.

But if you take a closer look, well, there are still many traps.

In addition to collecting membership fees, the transportation fee still has to be calculated each time. Overall, it is equivalent to spending two parts to buy an insurance.

The most critical thing is that he requires merchants to provide customer information, which is like the United States asking TSMC to hand over customer data.

Seeing this article, the merchants were immediately dissatisfied.

If the customer's information is provided, in case the company contacts the customer themselves, what business do they still have?
For a while, doubts arose.

"Master Ma, if you ask us to provide the information of our customers, it might be a bit difficult for us."

"Yes, Mr. Ma, customers do business with us because they trust us. If we give out their information at will, it will affect our reputation."

"If you get these customer information, bypass us, and turn around to do business with these customers, how can we survive?"

"This league doesn't feel like a league at all."

"..."

Faced with doubts from the crowd, Wei Jinbo said: "Everyone, please be calm, the reason why we ask you to provide this information is for the unified deployment of resources.

We have no reason to do business with customers by ourselves. We are already overwhelmed by freight forwarding and transportation. There is no need to work hard and earn these petty profits.

So, you don’t need to worry about this at all. Of course, if you think you can bypass us and charter a flight yourself, you can try it too. I believe you will soon regret why you didn’t join our alliance. "

The latter sentence has a vaguely threatening meaning.

Everyone's lifeline was seized at once, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhao Cheng whispered: "I heard that this woman has a close relationship with the leader of the Transportation Department, and she is also the leader's god-sister.

Last year, the General Administration transferred the Russian charter flight from the Capital Airport to Tianjin Airport. This leader also greeted the relevant leaders of Tianjin Airport and asked them to support and take care of Lianzhou Air Service Company. "

Su Chen nodded.

If Wei Jinbo hadn't monopolized this channel, he certainly wouldn't have done so.

At this time, some people began to express their opinions.

"I think the proposal of this alliance is very good, I would like to join."

"I would also like to join."

"As long as my goods can reach Russia quickly, I will join."

"..."

Merchants here began to express their willingness to join the alliance.

"Brother Su, do we want to join?" Zhao Cheng asked again in a low voice.

Su Chen glanced at him and asked him, "Why do you want to join?"
