Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 9 Express Cooperation

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock in the bathroom rang frantically.

"Little Li, your alarm clock is ringing!" Luo Xiu kicked the bed next to him.

"Hoo hoo..." He was answered by continuous snoring.

This forced me to put the alarm clock in the toilet last night before going to bed, vowed to get up early to recite English, and now lie on the bed and pretend to be dead.

The other two roommates did the same, covering their heads with a quilt to see who couldn't hold on first.

Three minutes later, Luo Xiu got out of bed cursing, went to the bathroom and turned off the alarm clock.

Now that people are up, let's get to work!

Luo Xiu turned on the computer and immediately logged into the background to check the sales situation, but sure enough, none of them were sold.

wdnmd!

Although I know in my heart that it is impossible for a store with 0 reputation and 0 sales to be bought by someone as soon as it is put on the shelves, but looking at the words of 0 yuan in sales, I still feel uncomfortable.

Forget it, let's have breakfast first.

Luo Xiu patted the iron bed, "I'm going to buy breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

"Soymilk and deep-fried dough sticks, thank you!"

Li Shan hesitated for a long time before giving the answer.

"+1."

"+2."

The remaining two immediately followed suit and asked for the same thing, they were too lazy to think about what to have for breakfast.

After all, "what to eat" is the most distressing question for human beings every day.

When Luo Xiu came back from buying breakfast, the roommates were still lying on the bed and sleeping, and they didn't get up in a hurry until the class was approaching.

"Brother Xiu, aren't you going to class?"

Before going out, Li Shan asked a question.

Luo Xiu replied while cutting out the picture, "My principle is that elective courses must be skipped, and compulsory courses must be skipped. They are all elective courses in the morning, so I won't go."

Li Shan was also a little moved after hearing this, but he thought that there were girls in the classroom, and the dormitory only had games and men, so he finally chose to go to the classroom.

Luo Xiu cut out pictures by himself in the dormitory. After a busy morning, he put the second product on the shelves.

With the first set of design typesetting, the next new product will be put on the shelves, which can greatly save time.

This is also because Luo Xiu hasn't done design for a long time, and he is not very proficient in this version of PS, otherwise it can be faster.

In the following time, Luo Xiu decided to negotiate the price with the courier. After all, there will be a large number of shipments in the future. For e-commerce, the cost of courier delivery is a problem that needs to be considered.

There is no rocket 101 in the school, so I can only go outside the school to contact the site boss.

In 08, the main group of online shopping was still college students. There were three sites outside the east gate of the school, namely Shentong, Zhongtong and Yunda.

Luo Xiu went to Shentong first, and saw a little brother carrying a courier at the door. Before Luo Xiu could speak, he asked, "Do you want to send a package, pretty?"

"No, I'm looking for your boss."

"Second Uncle, someone is looking for you." After he yelled, he said to Luo Xiu, "The boss is on the second floor, go up by yourself!"

"Thank you."

Luo Xiu said politely, then carefully walked through the cardboard boxes all over the floor, and walked upstairs.

The courier sites these days are very simple, often with one boss, and two or three relatives come to help, and often rely on themselves to deliver the goods, and when they are busy, the wives and children will join the battle.

The boss is a short-cut man in his early thirties, who is sitting alone at the coffee table making tea.He was a little surprised when he saw Luo Xiu who looked like a student, "Little boy, are you looking for me?"

"Boss, my surname is Luo. I'm a student of Yangcheng University and the owner of a Taobao clothing store. I want to talk to you about courier cooperation."

Luo Xiu didn't want to waste too much time here, so he directly stated his purpose of coming, "Our store's monthly shipment volume is about 500 orders, just give me the lowest price!"

"500 orders? What's your store name? Let me see."

The boss didn't quite believe Luo Xiu's words.

When people talk about business in this era, they pay attention to testing each other, and they only say half of what they say, and the rest is up to you to comprehend and guess.

For Luo Xiu, who really came back from an Internet company, he hated this traditional way of communicating with businessmen.

"Boss, it's no secret that the express delivery price is not a secret. I can also find it in other stores. You can give me different quotations for 100 pieces, 500 pieces, and 1000 pieces respectively. I can make as much as I want, and then I will pay the corresponding price." Just settle the bill."

Looking at him like that, Luo Xiu knew what he was thinking. He was just afraid that his peers would come to test the bottom price. But in this era, there are no peers who don't even know the bottom price of their opponents, right?

The boss didn't get used to Luo Xiu's way of talking for a while, so he handed over a cigarette, "Smoking?"

"I don't smoke."

Luo Xiu directly refused.

"Our STO is 8 yuan per kilogram in the province, and 2 yuan for additional weight. Different regions outside the province are different. You can see for yourself."

The boss handed over a quotation.

Luo Xiu didn't even look at it, so he put it aside.

"Boss, don't give me this kind of quotation. I'll give you a clear card directly. You should be more happy and give me a clear card."

Luo Xiu thought for a while, and continued: "I have asked both Zhongtong and Yunda, and their prices are much more sincere than yours."

"Come on, have a cup of tea first!"

The boss thought that Luo Xiu was just a student and looked down on him a bit, but now that he seems to be a veteran, his attitude suddenly changed.

As the boss of Shentong University Town, I have seen a lot of this kind of student Taobao shopkeepers. When they come to negotiate prices, they will definitely not be as confident and calm as Luo Xiu.

After serving the tea, the boss took out a new quotation again. The price in the province dropped from 8 yuan/KG to 6 yuan/KG, and it was only 8 yuan from Yangcheng to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other e-commerce developed areas.

This price is very expensive for the logistics industry in 2020.

In 2020, if your quantity is large enough, you can basically achieve 2 yuan nationwide free shipping for express items like this kind of clothing.I heard that the express delivery that is close to it can still be less than 2 yuan.

But in 08, the express delivery industry was not so developed, and it was impossible to achieve such a cheap price in the future, and my own store had no sales volume, and I did not have the ability to negotiate prices.

Therefore, Luo Xiu does not intend to spend too much time negotiating with them on the price. After the sales volume increases, the courier will take the initiative to come to you and negotiate with you.

"I can accept this price, but there is one requirement. It is too troublesome to settle the price every time a piece is sent. Let's not talk about quarterly settlement, at least monthly settlement."

Luo Xiu is too poor now, even if he sells the goods, he has to wait [-] days for the other party to automatically confirm the receipt of the goods, so the monthly settlement is very important.

"According to the usual habit, we usually cooperate for a period of time before implementing the monthly settlement, but I believe that you are a person, little brother, so this matter is settled."

The courier boss didn't think too much, so he agreed directly.

For him, this is an investment, an investment in this young man with unlimited possibilities.

In case he really grows bigger in the future, the number of mailings may increase geometrically.I gave him a favor in the early stage, and he will give priority to myself to deliver the goods in the future.

Luo Xiu was surprised to hear that the other party agreed to his request so readily.

I am not a company, but only a personal sender. Normally, I have to cooperate for a period of time to confirm my reputation and strength before agreeing to monthly settlement.
