Chapter 1206: Unfamiliar Word
“Before discussing other things, let’s talk about the issues of transportation. Should the primary manufacturers be in charge of transporting the goods or should the buyers be in charge of that? Why do I feel like we’re missing something in between there?” a higher-up said.
“That’s right, so I’ve decided to set up another company for logistics.”
The upper executives all frowned. Luo Cheng was the only one who beamed.
After all, he had lived in Sab for a long time. Progress in logistics over there was more well-developed, so he understood what his chairman was referring to.
However, to the higher executives of Leng Group, or to most people in Camino, the term ‘logistics’ was still an unfamiliar concept.
If Nangong Nuannuan was here, she would be very surprised.
That was because Leng Qirui’s current ideas and suggestions were exactly the same as the insightful and powerful Mister M that would appear in Camino many years later.
However, after she was reborn, the life of many people in this world changed drastically.
Leng Qirui was a good example.
In her previous life, Ye Hai’s men would have killed him in Jiang District. Without Leng Qirui, a man who grew up in a family of extremely powerful geniuses in business, many other ambitious people would rise to power later.
In this lifetime, Leng Qirui was still alive, and he was going to bring the Leng Group to greater heights. It would be completely different from what happened in the previous world.
Since ‘logistics’ had yet to form a substantial idea in everyone’s mind, Leng Qirui shared his thoughts with everyone.
After all, Leng Qirui was the heir of a second-tier wealthy family who received the best training from the Leng family. Although Leng Qirui was only 18 years old, he had been abroad a lot. Although Leng Qirui was indeed a flunkie, he was an observant and intelligent flunkie. Furthermore, he was born to be extraordinary in the field of business. Back when he was abroad, he had been very interested in foreign logistics, so he consulted professionals to improve his understanding. Now that he had to explain this concept to others, his words flowed as smooth as the river too.
Although everyone agreed with what the chairman said, some of them still had different ideas.
“Chairman, I understand what you mean and know the purpose of the logistics company. Transportation will be more convenient with a logistics company. However, there is still a problem.
“For example, I’m a customer, and I want to buy pomelos from a remote mountain area. Although I really want those cheap pomelos because the merchandise is only 20 cents, the cost of transportation is extremely high after my purchase. We need someone to bring his pomelos out of the village, and a dedicated car to transport his things to the city he’s in. If the buyer and seller are in a more remote place, far away from the station we set up, do we have to pay dozens or even hundreds of yuan for something that is only 20 cents?
“Without any subsidies, the manpower, fuel, and transportation fees in between would probably be more than several dozen yuan. With the transportation costing more than a few dozens added to the item that costs 20 cents, this thing would still have to be sold at the price of a few dozen, or we’ll lose money. However, if we sell it for several dozen yuan, others might as well go to the market and buy it from second-hand, third-hand, or even fourth-hand merchants. It will be much cheaper too.
“Also, if we’ll have to arrange transport for something as tiny as a single pomelo especially, the speed of transportation will definitely be very slow. It’s still fine since pomelos don’t turn bad easily, but if it’s something that expires quickly, it might already have turned bad before buyers get their hands on the items they purchased. “
