Chapter 482: Urgent Needs

The majestic express.

The waiter who had come to watch the fun ran back to report the news. Li Rongzhen, who knew that his cousin Shi Liu had taken on a business for the family, a first in such a long time of delivering a coffin with a corpse inside, also hurried out to meet Miao.

"Will your Weifeng Express take this business?" Miao looked at Li Rongzhen and asked expectantly.

Li Rongzhen nodded, "As long as the customer needs it, we at Weifeng Express will accept any order, including helping to escort the coffin back home."

"That's good, that's good." Miao breathed a sigh of relief and asked how much the fee was.

Li Rongzhen asked, "Where are you sending it to? We usually charge based on distance and weight. Different items have different prices."

Miao said hurriedly: "Let's go to Baiyun Town, Yanghe County, under Dacheng Prefecture!"

Seeing that there were so many people watching, Li Rongzhen also wanted to negotiate and place the order outside so that everyone could watch and make some name for Weifeng Express.

He immediately asked the deputy steward to bring out the abacus.

"It is about 400 miles from Yanghe County in Dacheng Prefecture by land. According to the speed of our team, it should take about eight days. This is the first time for us to transport a coffin, but according to the standard of a carload of goods and its weight, it will cost five taels of silver, plus a travel fee of fifty coins for every fifty miles - that is, five taels, four coins and fifty coins.

In addition, since it is a funeral procession, I would like to trouble you to give each person in the escorting team a red envelope. Eight or eighteen cents is fine. It is mainly for good luck. Six people should be enough for this team to escort the car. What do you think?"

Li Rongzhen's voice was neither fast nor slow, and so loud that the onlookers could hear it.

After that, he looked at Miao and said, "If you have no objection, we can place the order right now. A team of people from the convoy just came back. After placing the order, we can set off immediately."

Miao was stunned when she heard this. It took her a while to figure out the account. She couldn't help but ask subconsciously, "Did I make a mistake in the calculation? What about food and drink on the way? Am I responsible for it?"

Li Rongzhen raised his eyebrows in confusion, "You are right. The team is responsible for the food and drinks on the road. In addition to the charges I mentioned above, there will be no other charges. You can rest assured. If the team members charge you any extra fees under any name on the road, you can refuse and complain to the express post station along the way.

So, do you think it’s expensive? But this price is already our Weifeng Express…”

"No, no!" Miao interrupted, "I mean how can it be so cheap? It's so cheap, and you have to pay for your own food and drink. You are a powerful express company, aren't you losing money in business?"

He couldn't help but say to the good-hearted commoner who came over with him just now, "The Ningyuan Escort Agency charged me fifty taels of silver for escorting before, and I had to pay for food and drink on the way. They wanted a red envelope for good luck, and they sent out ten escorts, and asked me to pay six taels of silver for each envelope! Today, they raised the price to one hundred and fifty taels, and the red envelope costs sixteen taels each!"

Miao had been back to her hometown before, so she knew the expenses along the way. Even if she saved as much as possible, it would still cost several taels of silver for six people in eight days. Now the weather was cold, and they couldn't stay overnight in the wilderness. They had to stay in inns and horse-drawn inns, which all cost money.

If you calculate it this way, the total amount is just over five taels and four cents of silver, and you have to pay for it yourself!
It's no wonder that Miao was surprised. The onlookers were also very surprised and puzzled! The Weifeng Express had been open for two or three months, but most of them only knew that there was a Weifeng Express here, which was jointly opened by the Li family of Tianxia Diyi Village and the Liu family of Fucheng. But there was no need to deliver goods or letters, so they really didn't know that the Weifeng Express charged so cheaply.

Those who have delivered letters or know someone who has delivered letters know that this Weifeng Express is convenient and cheap, but I didn't expect that delivering coffins is also so cheap. The key is that this is not an empty coffin! There are still "things" inside. The price is so cheap, it really doesn't seem unlucky!

Being stared at by everyone, Li Rongzhen remained calm and said with a smile: "I think you all know the two big owners of our Weifeng Express, one is the head of the Liu family, and the other is Li Shiliu from the Li family, which was named 'the best village in the world' by the emperor!
The two of them have more than just this business as a partnership, including meat floss, candy, milk slices, toys, etc. They have to thank everyone for taking care of the business over the years.

Therefore, our boss also wants to give back to you and help you to the best of his ability, which is how Weifeng Express came into being!

The purpose of opening Weifeng Express is to seek welfare for people all over the world, to provide them with the most convenient and best services, to meet people's urgent needs and fulfill their needs, not for the sake of making money!
Therefore, as long as you need it, just come to Weifeng Express, we will definitely provide you with the most fair and honest service! "

These powerful words stunned the crowd.

'Helping others in their time of need and meeting their needs?'

'To seek benefits for the people of the world and provide them with the most convenient and best services?'

'Thank you for taking care of the business?'

Then people who had placed orders with Weifeng Express before came forward to share their experiences.

"What Manager Li said is true! I am from Pinghe County. Last month, I placed an order with the Weifeng Express in Pinghe County to send a batch of furs to Yunzhou. How far do you think Yunzhou is? Manager Li also told me that their Weifeng Express currently only travels within Bingzhou and has never placed orders outside of Bingzhou. But I had this need, so he immediately asked his superiors and accepted my order.

Even though it was the first time to Yunzhou and the journey was so long, Weifeng Express did not charge extra money. They still charged according to the standard and were very generous. You didn't have to pay all the money in advance and could settle the payment after the goods were delivered!

Just the other day I received the receipt for the goods they sent back from their convoy, and I have paid the remaining money!"

"And me! A month ago, my wife wanted to take the children back to her parents' home for a birthday party. I couldn't go with them, and I was worried about the three of them. So I heard about Weifeng Express from my neighbor, so I came to ask about it, and Manager Li took the order! The price was very cheap, and they took good care of my wife and children along the way, and sent them safely to my father-in-law's house!
They really take care of their own food on the road, and we don't have to worry about it. Not only that, when we pass by their sub-stations on the road, my wife and her family eat and stay at the sub-stations, which is cheaper and more affordable than going to other inns! In short, choosing Weifeng Express Inn is the best choice!"

"..."

Most people in the world tend to just follow what others say. At this moment, many people who came to their senses kept praising the Weifeng Express and the righteousness of Liu Dongjia and Miss Li.

Those who often buy things from Li Ji and Liu Ji also feel proud of it, thinking that this is a reward from the Li and Liu families for their frequent business care, but they have not yet enjoyed the benefits. How can this be acceptable?
Well, let me think about it, are there any relatives who live far away and need to be greeted by letters?

As for the things that Li Ji and Liu’s family rarely sell, and he has never bought from them because he couldn’t bear to afford them, he couldn’t help but think that just for the generosity of this family, no matter how poor they are or how expensive the things are, he would buy some from them when he leaves here later!
