Freight and Shipping
Zhang Xuezhou meant it when he said he was filing a complaint.
It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Without sufficient benefits, the higher-ups won't care about the Feiyu Live Streaming Special Edition visual device or what's in anyone's package.
But there are countless types of people, and just because the higher-ups don't care doesn't mean that everyone else does.
Alliance shipping clearly has many problems, but the real question is who will address these problems.
For the Li Household, who control Alliance Shipping, this is news that is completely beyond their comprehension. In fact, the Li Household rarely uses Alliance Shipping for parcel transportation, and when they do use it, they always ensure special security, making it difficult to find any oversights.
That's the gist of the matter.
Zhang Xuezhou found a contact number and finally got through to a senior executive at Alliance Shipping.
"You mean the alliance shipping services we manage can't even ensure that customers' packages arrive on time?"
"Not only do they arrive normally, sometimes the packages just disappear completely!"
The Feiyu Live Streaming Dedicated Visual Device created by Song Fengying is a product that uses high-quality components. Apart from the outer shell, almost all of the high-end hardware is sourced from other manufacturers. However, Song Fengying has indeed put a lot of effort into the software.
Her clients using this special version of the video device will be proactively invited to become VIP clients of Feiyu Live. Whether they fill in the information randomly, close the pop-up directly, or are regular VIP clients, some online information will be recorded.
This information will be recorded in the backend, which will also help Song Fengying retain high-quality customers and send them physical gifts or online gift packages every year as a reward.
Song Fengying just didn't expect that a group of 'unexpected customers' would be mixed in with this group of high-quality customers.
"This is outrageous! The Alliance States has only been established for less than forty years and already has so many parasites sucking our blood!"
Li Yingbo was furious when he received the 'client list' from Zhang Xuezhou.
Li Yingbo, who is over fifty years old, has never been complained about for losing a package before.
Feeling ashamed, Li Yingbo belatedly realized the various oversights within the Li Household's vast logistics system.
The Western Capital City Lineage's position was too high, so high that they could hardly notice these small things.
This wasn't just the case for the Li Household; other Lineage were no different. Even Ren Yisheng, struggled to streamline various aspects of the process.
No matter how they investigated, what Li Yingbo and his associates saw was always normal, and no one ever showed them the bad side.
The tracking list of the video devices that Song Fengying had shipped over a year was solid evidence, and it also uncovered a group of people involved in the alliance's shipping operations.
These people can take customers' video devices without any guilt. What if they take other valuables? What if they embezzle funds from the shipping company? What if they commit fraud? And what if there are other people who haven't been uncovered yet?
Li Yingbo had many questions on his mind.
Arrest a group, punish a group, deter a group, and formulate more reasonable rules and regulations...
Many thoughts raced through Li Yingbo's mind, but as Zhang Xuezhou began to wrap up his complaint in the communication, Li Yingbo realized he had overlooked something.
"Wait a minute!" Li Yingbo called out to Zhang Xuezhou, "Your mother sold goods to various parts of the Alliance States through Feiyu Live Streaming, and it was even transported via the Alliance's logistics network!"
"Yes," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "But my mom didn't sell many in a year, less than 50,000 units in total. The factory was losing money!"
"Fifty thousand units... fifty thousand units!"
Li Yingbo murmured softly.
Compared to the vast population, 50,000 users is not a large number, and it is not remarkable that this sales volume is achieved over a long period of a year.
Song Fengying's sales volume of visual devices is equivalent to the annual sales volume of a stall.
However, what makes Song Fengying's sales special is that these visual devices are sold all over the country through the alliance's shipping and transshipment channels, and are not under the jurisdiction or control of regional wholesalers.
A single product can sell 50,000 units, or even more than ten, one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand products.
Li Yingbo felt that he had vaguely grasped the possible measures to break the local monopoly, but there were still some important links that he had not yet opened up.
Having inherited Li Qi's role, Li Yingbo was now also a member of the Sequence Committee, and was further embroiled in the conflicts between Western Capital City and the local areas.
He vaguely sensed the source of his confidence in breaking down local power.
After understanding the situation, he quickly ended the communication and dialed Li Biming's number instead.
Li Biming is Li Yingbo's elder brother. If it weren't for the events at the Mu Nian Mansion, Li Yingbo and Li Biming would have faced the same situation as the Wang Yi'an and Wang Haoran brothers, and would have inevitably ended up in a struggle.
The conflict was mitigated, but it was not completely resolved.
When the Western Capital City Sequence Committee is updated, everyone will choose to band together, but once everything stabilizes, conflict will still be inevitable.
"Brother, are you interested in the ocean shipping business?" Li Yingbo asked.
"What, are you going to argue about this today?" Li Biming replied with a smile.
The profits from ocean shipping are secondary; the key is that ocean shipping is linked to Qinling and Inner Mongolia, and it is also the most important tool for conducting large-scale trade with countries around the world.
Ocean shipping is indeed a hot commodity and is considered a highly competitive industry.
Even though Li Yingbo and Li Biming didn't explicitly state this, their Lineage members always vied to join their groups.
Upon suddenly hearing Li Yingbo's inquiry over the phone, Li Biming initially thought Li Yingbo wanted to test his resolve, but after only two rounds of polite conversation, Li Biming was taken aback.
"What?! You're willing to give up ocean shipping and take over Alliance Shipping to focus on developing the domestic market?" Li Biming exclaimed in surprise, "Second brother, you're not kidding! I'll take this seriously!"
"You handle external affairs, I'll handle internal affairs, how about it?" Li Yingbo said in a deep voice, "Compared to us both suffering losses and becoming a laughing stock, it'll be less trouble if we split up sooner!"
"Do you have something going on...?"
"Either I handle external affairs, and you handle internal affairs!"
"Don't!"
Ocean shipping is indeed a high-quality industry today. The intermediate links in the shipping industry are far fewer than those in freight forwarding, and the corresponding profit output is more transparent.
Alliance shipping involves numerous intermediate steps and transit through various Alliance States.
The number of staff in this group is dozens of times that of ocean shipping, but the alliance shipping group is only larger in terms of staff; in other aspects, it is almost completely outmatched by ocean shipping.
The dramatic division of the Li Household's assets finally began via communication, and a peaceful handover commenced.
This situation is extremely rare in Western Capital City. Even the Changkong Lineage is only temporarily sticking together, and Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Yinglian have not yet reached the point of dividing the family property.
But Li Yingbo is right, this is a problem they will have to face sooner or later, and the sooner they resolve it, the sooner they can eliminate the conflict.
Before Li Qi of the old mansion could even voice his opinion, the two Li Household brothers had already clearly divided up their assets.
