Chapter 34: Deciding to do logistics
The adults were all amused by his appearance. Gu Xiaoyou joked a few more words and started eating with everyone.
When she saw that the food was almost finished, she slowly said: "Zhu Cheng brought fabrics to Mrs. Zhou, which gave me an inspiration. I have an idea that I want to share with you."
Hearing this, Zhu Cheng and others stopped what they were doing, focused their attention on Gu Xiaoyou, and looked at her curiously.
Gu Xiaoyou cleared her throat and smiled: "There are many people like Zhou who are inconvenient to go out. I think we have a fleet of horses and horsemen, so we can definitely do the delivery work..."
"Isn't this just running errands?" Zhu Cheng couldn't help but interjected.
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head and said sternly: "Errand running is a kind of shopping and delivery for others. Short-distance business is not stable enough. The delivery I am talking about is completely different from running errands."
She paused deliberately, and seeing the three people looking at her seriously, Gu Xiaoyou smiled and said, "What I want to do is logistics."
"Logistics?" The three people looked at each other, obviously they didn't understand what this word meant, and they were a little confused for a while.
None of the three people understood, so they could only listen to Gu Xiaoyou's speech seriously.
"Yes, logistics." Gu Xiaoyou nodded and explained solemnly: "Logistics is to serve as a bridge between towns. All goods and letters can be transported uniformly. The ideal situation is to provide services in every town.
They all set up exclusive sites, and the logistics are more professional than errands and cheaper than delivery by escort agencies. They only charge the cost of the goods and freight, and no other fees are charged."
The three of them listened without saying a word and were all surprised by Gu Xiaoyou's bold idea. Yang He and Zhou were amazed at Gu Xiaoyou's idea in their hearts, but they were not in this business and could only listen to it. I'm afraid they didn't do it.
no.
But Zhu Chengcheng was different. He was more knowledgeable, so he asked the doubts in his heart: "Would it be a loss? After all, the escort agency pays the escort to deliver the goods, and if we don't pay the groom to deliver the goods...
"
Gu Xiaoyou had expected this question a long time ago and smiled: "The system we implement is different from theirs. Our logistics will hire horsemen and pay wages uniformly every month. The goods are calculated by kilogram. We deduct the labor fee, or
There’s money to be made…”
After listening to Gu Xiaoyou's explanation, Zhu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "But if we just deliver the goods when they are available, would it be uneconomical..."
"So we have to save more before delivering, and we can deliver to several more places at a time." Gu Xiaoyou explained: "For example, from Qingcheng County to Beijing, we pass through four towns on the way, and we will do it in these four towns.
Set up stations, and there will be people in these four towns who want to deliver things or buy things back. The truck will deliver goods to the four stations on the trip to the capital, and then collect the goods again on the return trip, and deliver them in sequence..."
The more Zhu Cheng listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he said excitedly: "It would be great if this could be done. It's just that the stations between towns you mentioned may not be realized in a short time."
"We will not care about other towns for now. We will decide on the station in Qingcheng County first. Once we have established a firm foothold here, it will not be too late for us to set up stations in other towns."
Gu Xiaoyou had obviously thought through all the problems and explained everything clearly. Zhu Cheng and others admired her in their hearts.
"I've finished talking about my thoughts. This is my plan. You can take it back and study it."
Gu Xiaoyou handed a stack of paper to Zhu Cheng from his sleeve.
Zhu Cheng took it as if he had found a treasure and carefully put it into his arms. Gu Xiaoyou nodded with satisfaction.
"I'll leave the logistics to you. You run around and go to many places. You can ask more. If you don't understand the plan, you can ask me. If you don't have enough manpower, just ask Yang He. If you are short of money, you can ask me or Sister Zhou.
.”
"Thank you boss for your trust, I will study it carefully." Zhu Cheng patted the plan in his arms and solemnly promised.
"We will also cooperate well." Yang He and Zhou also expressed their stance.
Gu Xiaoyou was very satisfied with their attitude. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue eating."
Several people started eating again, asking questions about logistics from time to time, and Gu Xiaoyou patiently answered them. The meal was finished with laughter...
Life continues smoothly, and summer in Qingcheng County arrives unknowingly.
Cicadas chirping on the trees add a touch of color to the quiet county life.
Suddenly, a scream came from a corner of Qingcheng County. A boy ran out of a yard, shouting as he ran: "The pig spirit is coming, the pig spirit is coming!"
He ran away in panic. The people around him looked curiously into the courtyard, not knowing what they saw. Their expressions changed, and they closed the doors and locked them tightly.
After a while, crying came from the yard, and a woman came out holding a boy.
The woman's face was covered with tears. She patted the boy in her arms and comforted her with choked sobs: "Don't be afraid. Mom will take you to see Dr. Gu."
After saying that, he hugged the boy and walked quickly, and some thin figures disappeared around the corner.
The medical center at this time.
"Summer is the season when you are prone to heat colds. Colds are contagious. Everyone should wear a mask and wash hands frequently..."
Gu Xiaoyou stood at the door of the medical center, making publicity to the county residents. There was a table in front of him with toilet paper and masks.
The county residents gathered around the table and listened carefully to Gu Xiaoyou's science popularization. They were initially a little tempted by the masks, but they were a little timid when they found out that the masks were made of cotton.
“It’s so uncomfortable to wear a piece of cloth on your face in the summer.”
"But what Doctor Gu said makes sense. Heat colds are so painful."
"I feel like I'm in good health, so I shouldn't need a mask."
The people in the county were talking a lot, but no one came forward to buy it. Gu Xiaoyou simply used his trump card and said loudly: "Today, the hospital has a special promotion. If you buy a mask, you will get ten pieces of toilet paper for free."
The residents of the county were immediately relieved. You should know that many people still have to chip in to buy toilet paper. I heard that if you buy a mask, you can get free toilet paper, which made you interested.
"Doctor Gu, give me a mask."
"Me too."
"I want two!"
"Okay, okay, everyone is queuing up." Gu Xiaoyou organized the order and started selling masks one by one.
The sun was shining brightly, and Gu Xiaoyou was sweating a little. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the long queue, feeling somewhat comforted.
She is doing her best for the health of the county residents.
Just as the sales of masks were proceeding in an orderly manner, a woman ran over from the alley, trying to get to the front of the queue.
The county residents who were queuing suddenly became unhappy. They stopped in front of the woman one after another and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't jump in line. If you want to buy masks, go to the back of the line."
"I'm not buying a mask. My child is seriously ill and I want to see Doctor Gu for treatment." The woman begged pitifully, "Please be kind and let me go."
At this time, the child in the woman's arms suddenly groaned and made a very painful sound.
He stretched out his hand to scratch his face, and the face that had been buried in the woman's arms suddenly emerged.
