Li Yingbo's Idea
"Professor Li, you've come all this way?"
Five days after Zhang Xuezhou filed his complaint, Li Yingbo arrived at the North Rehe Research Center.
Zhang Xuezhou had only just finished temporarily concluding the content related to the 108,000 acupoints.
He took 60 million yuan in cash from Song Fengying. Zhang Xuezhou was preparing to start a cooperation plan with Luo Burang and began purchasing exotic beasts in bulk from Zhu Liangping.
But before Zhang Xuezhou could take any action, Li Yingbo came knocking on his door.
"Please don't be so polite. We were just concerned citizens who filed a complaint; it's not worth someone of your stature coming all the way to apologize!"
Hearing Li Yingbo's polite words, Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that the Li Household's company could simply handle the problem employee internally.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that anything that could reduce the damage and loss rates of Alliance Freight was a good thing.
"Of course," Li Yingbo said with a smile. "Thanks to Ms. Song, we were able to purge a number of corrupt officials from within the company. We are also actively working on improving our freight regulations, which should allow us to provide our customers with a better experience in the future."
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded with a dry laugh.
He wasn't the customer who shipped the video equipment; he was just a middleman who, to the best of his ability, filed a complaint on behalf of Song Fengying.
Of course, Zhang Xuezhou sent ten portions of Peiyuan Paste to Mengzhong Province in the previous two days.
If someone were to steal a piece of the Origin-Nurturing Pill paste to taste it, Zhang Xuezhou thought that person was just unlucky.
These Origin-Nurturing Pill pastes of his are not electronic components, nor are they afraid of being violently thrown or dropped.
Zhang Xuezhou had no worries about transporting his shipment.
He was somewhat surprised when Li Yingbo handed him a check for ten million.
Of course, Song Fengying suffered a loss rate as high as 30%. They lost nearly 15,000 video cameras that year. Even if each video camera only cost 2,000 yuan, the Zhang Household still lost at least 30 million yuan due to shipping issues.
This is a situation that even Song Fengying couldn't help but complain about.
However, Li Yingbo received the list of those who filed complaints but was unaware of the actual losses suffered by the Zhang Household.
The fact that the other party gave a check for ten million was indeed a sign of great sincerity.
Alliance Shipping has many disputes every year, but very few people receive compensation. Firstly, people can't afford to waste time dealing with such large companies, and secondly, Alliance Shipping currently focuses more on transporting documents and letters over long distances, while the damage rate for short-distance shipments is acceptable.
The most important reason is that only the alliance shipping service can achieve nationwide coverage. In many areas, it operates at a loss, so people have no choice but to accept this situation.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was one of the few senders who received compensation.
He initially felt that Li Yingbo was being too polite, but when Li Yingbo asked Song Fengying how she managed to sell goods all over the Scarlet Alliance State, Zhang Xuezhou realized that Li Yingbo had ulterior motives.
"Could it be that you want to learn from my mother's sales methods and sell Western Capital City's products to various provinces and cities?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously.
"That's definitely the idea!"
The research topics of Ren Yisheng's team involve the psychology of listing, and the team members are therefore somewhat related to psychology and pseudo-psychology.
Upon seeing that Zhang Xuezhou had guessed correctly, Li Yingbo quickly admitted it.
Instead of trying to find out indirectly, it's better to be straightforward.
Setting aside his usual politeness, Li Yingbo frankly shared his thoughts and plans.
"I don't intend to sell products," Li Yingbo said, "But I want those who sell products to choose Alliance Shipping for transportation, thereby developing shipping into an indispensable factor for the Alliance States!"
You seem to be...
"You guessed right. As long as people buy what they need in this way, the economy of the Alliance States will not be stagnant," Li Yingbo said. "Alliance Shipping is the backbone of our Li Household business. I aim to develop shipping and make a profit, and I also hope that one day all kinds of convenient goods can enter millions of households."
"This..."
"As you can see right now, Alliance Shipping's biggest advantage is its nationwide transportation capacity. It doesn't have an advantage in terms of service attitude or delivery time. If other companies choose to enter the market... Of course, perhaps they don't need to enter, since there are plenty of freight companies everywhere; they can easily intercept Alliance Shipping. The seller can also freely choose various convenient freight options. This requires cooperation for a win-win situation!"
Li Yingbo wasn't good at judging people's hearts; rather, the other party had thoroughly considered various responses before coming to the North Rehe Research Institute.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou starts a conversation, Li Yingbo can guess the topic and provide the fastest explanation.
"What I want to know right now is whether Ms. Song received payment when she sold the video device?" Li Yingbo asked.
"She definitely received it," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in response.
"How do she conduct transactions with her clients?" Li Yingbo asked.
"The customer makes the payment, my mom ships the goods, and then the customer confirms receipt," Zhang Xuezhou said, shrugging. "She used to deliver to each region individually because of the live streaming, but later, when more people bought things, she had to use the alliance shipping service!"
"Payment first, then delivery?"
Li Yingbo for a few seconds.
For most people, this is an almost impossible transaction, but because Song Fengying has extremely high popularity and has gained enough trust through live-streaming delivery, it has also triggered a bandwagon effect of trust.
But it's difficult for others to replicate this kind of transaction.
Li Yingbo finally realized why he kept sensing something was wrong when he was thinking.
The matter is a good thing, but how to replicate Song Fengying's method of selling goods is a problem.
However, Li Yingbo believes that as long as the key issues are resolved, this nationwide sales initiative, once it spreads and generates a ripple effect, will inevitably build a bridge for trustworthy transactions.
This will break regional monopolies and push industries across the country into nationwide competition.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know once you take it out for a spin.
This will inevitably lead to a massive reshuffle, resulting in the collapse or rapid expansion of countless businesses, which may create numerous opportunities.
"Has Ms. Song tried selling other products?" Li Yingbo asked.
"My family only owns a small factory selling telecommunications equipment; we don't sell anything else," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Are you thinking of testing the waters with other products?"
"That's good," Li Yingbo nodded. "If Ms. Song can roll out the second product, then she will inevitably roll out the third, the fourth, and so on, until more and more products enter the sales process."
"This..."
Looking at Li Yingbo, Zhang Xuezhou felt that while the other man's ideals were good, his actions were completely different.
Even when Song Fengying personally sold the video recorders, she still received constant complaints, saying that she could only cover the losses from the damaged products thanks to the income from live streaming.
But many people cannot afford such losses.
"Why don't you talk to my mom?"
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Zhang Xuezhou felt he wasn't optimistic about Li Yingbo's plan, and whether Song Fengying was willing to cooperate was another matter entirely.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't make decisions rashly, so he directly recommended Song Fengying.
Li Yingbo readily agreed.
This was also the main reason why Li Yingbo came to the North Jehol Research Institute.
He could go to Mengzhong Province to find Song Fengying, but without an introduction, the effect would be greatly reduced.
However, Song Fengying, whom Li Yingbo saw on the live streaming app, was not included in the calculations, and he could not discuss matters with Song Fengying, who was live streaming, among a group of over 100,000 viewers.
Zhang Xuezhou's recommendation has undoubtedly put things on a positive note.
