Chapter 432: Save Trouble and Money
“Boss, please take a look. Our freight transportation pricing follows the principles of fairness, rationality and transparency. We determine the transportation costs by comprehensively considering factors such as transportation distance, cargo weight, volume, transportation method and special requirements.

Mr. Hong, the goods you are looking to deliver are dyed yarns and the destination is Rongjiang County. It takes about four days to travel from Luoshui County to Rongjiang County. Our fleet will take the shortest and most convenient route and strive to deliver the goods as quickly as possible.

The dyed yarn is not troublesome to transport. Does Mr. Hong have any special requirements? For example, if you want to expedite it, if not, we will charge according to the basic price. Mr. Hong can take a closer look at this charging standard.

In this way, Mr. Hong's five carts of dyed thread cost five cents of silver per cart and fifty cents for every fifty miles, which adds up to two taels, seven cents and fifty cents of silver.

If Mr. Chen wants to send two truckloads of porcelain, although the transportation distance is the same, porcelain is fragile, so an additional insurance fee will be required. In this way, if the porcelain is damaged during transportation, we will fully compensate for it.

In this way, the freight that Mr. Chen needs to pay is seven cents of silver for a cart of porcelain, fifty cents for every fifty miles, plus three taels of silver as insurance, which is three taels, six cents and fifty cents of silver.

The five carts of wine that Mr. Qiu wants to deliver are also fragile items. One cart of wine costs eight taels of silver, plus the travel fee and insurance fee of five taels, which is a total of nine taels, two taels and fifty wen of silver."

"As for Boss Tu, if you want to send the goods to Dazong Mansion, the distance is longer, so the cost will naturally be different...

You can trust us completely. It is no problem to pay in advance or pay the deposit first and then check the receipt after the goods are delivered and then pay the final payment. "

Several bosses looked at the price meters in their hands and listened to Li Jili's detailed calculations, and they understood it easily.

After understanding this, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They thought that this grand express train would be very expensive with such a big event. If it weren't for Lao Ding's sake, they wouldn't have been the first to take action on the first day and would have definitely waited and watched.

But I didn’t expect it to be so cheap!

Boss Hong thought that he had to deliver dyeing thread to Rongjiang County every month. If he sent his own workers to transport it, he would be afraid of accidents on the way. Just a few trucks of goods would require a lot of people. Although the journey was only less than four days, the round trip would cost him a lot of money.

But for the same amount of goods, it only costs such a small amount of money to send it through Weifeng Express!
Boss Hong couldn't even think about it. It was too cheap, wasn't it? He would just go to Weifeng Express from now on. How much money and effort would this save him? !
Boss Hong didn't waste any time asking any more questions. He immediately asked Li Jili if he had filled out the shipping bill. He would stamp it and pay the full amount right away and send it out quickly because the other side was waiting anxiously!

The other people reacted and hurriedly urged them on.

Li Jili thought he would have to spend more time explaining, but he didn't expect them to be so straightforward. He quickly asked Wang Dong to give the completed shipping list to each of them for review.

After a busy period, Li Jili sorted out several freight lists and immediately called Pan Zhong, the captain of the fleet stationed in Luoshui County, and asked him to select people to set off.

In the early stage, they were all novices and had to ensure that nothing could go wrong, so they needed enough manpower. According to regulations, each car had to be escorted by two people, and another twenty people to guard in front and behind. The huge convoy set off immediately.

At that time, the people who came to watch the fun had not yet dispersed. Seeing how quickly the express company acted and delivered the goods immediately after receiving them, they secretly praised it.

When this convoy sets off, there is no rush to go to Dazong Mansion, because there are only three trucks of goods. Boss Qiu is not in a hurry. He has things to put away, so he will wait and see if there is anything else going to Dazong Mansion or in the same direction. Then they can set off together and save some effort.

However, Weifeng Express also has regulations. Even if the passenger does not need an urgent delivery, the delivery will not exceed three days. Regardless of whether there are other passengers traveling the same way, the package will be dispatched after three days.

After receiving these orders, there were many people coming in to ask about the delivery of goods, etc. But Li Jili was not discouraged. Shi Liu had already told them about this situation.

To build Weifeng Express is not a matter of one day or one night. It is normal to have a lot of pressure in the early stage, and you need to keep yourself stable.

With such an employer to back them up, they naturally won't panic.

When it was closing time, Li Jili and deputy manager Wang Dong recorded the day's revenue together.

Wang Dong looked at the simple account and couldn't help but sigh, "The three batches of goods that left today earned a total of 15 taels, 6 qian and 50 wen of silver. There were 44 people in the team. The round trip food and drink cost 15 wen per person per day. There were three days in between where we could stay at the substation. For the other four nights, sleeping in a large bunk bed cost 10 wen per person, which means 7 taels of silver, not to mention the wages. This trip is equivalent to a loss."

Li Jili listened, then looked at him and said, "What did the boss say during the training? These are all expected things. The boss knows what's going on. We just need to do our best to do what we should do. One day, we will be able to make money without losing money."

"Besides, don't think like that. Think about it. What if they return and the express post station in Rongjiang County has some goods that they can bring back?"

"That's right!" Wang Dong thought for a moment and grinned, "You are really open-minded. I still need to learn more from you in this regard!"

This is the current situation in Luoshui County, but other prefectures and counties are different.

Just talking about the Weifeng Express Terminal in the south of the city, it is very busy today.

Li Rongzong has been a shopkeeper for three years, but that was all in the small place of Luoshui County. After coming to the provincial capital for half a month, he has also experienced the prosperity and size of the provincial capital. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and a falling tile can hit a rich man, so there is no shortage of consumption.

Today, they received more than twenty orders for receiving goods. Ma Chun was in charge of the motorcade and sent out three groups of people one after another. Finally, they went to Dali Prefecture, the farthest place from the provincial capital. He led the team personally.

Not only goods, but also jade and gold articles are to be delivered. These are all to take care of the business and test the waters for the Liu family.

Of course, some of them also need to deliver letters.

These letters entrusted to others are naturally family letters. They are not important. Rich families will not entrust such family letters to outsiders for delivery. Those who entrust them to others are ordinary people.

It would be a huge loss to just deliver a letter. Fortunately, there were a few letters on the way, so the convoy could take them together and then deliver them to the branch station, which saved a lot of trouble.

But there was a letter that was not on the route of any convoy, so Li Rongzong did not hesitate and sent two people to deliver it.

The reason why we didn't wait three days like for the goods was because Shi Liu said that credibility was more important than goods. What if the customer was in a hurry? One day late would delay the delivery. If something irreparable happened, it would be irreparable.

In short, when sending a letter, you must not delay it and make sure it is delivered.

So, even though it's just a small letter, two people have to be sent together.

No matter whether they lose money or not, the most important thing is to deliver the goods to the right place. Shi Liu said that this was also the original intention of establishing Weifeng Express, which is to serve the people of the world!
