That was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it to optimize resource allocation, increase employment, change people’s\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lifestyles, and provide convenience to ordinary people? It might be possible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but it was definitely not the main reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because everyone knew very well that Boss Pei would create a new\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>business model for every new industry he established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, no matter how much money it incurred or how long it incurred\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>losses, it would ultimately make money. What’s more, it would definitely be\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the final winner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about Upwind Logistics from this perspective, many problems would\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>come to completely different conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Tengda’s other industries, Upwind Logistics would be a process of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>good money expelling bad money. Even if they lost money in the early stages,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they would definitely use better services in the later stages to eat the high-end\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>market, expand to the low- end market, and finally achieve profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lu Mingliang had already expected Shengyun Corporation’s current\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>actions. What’s more, he had made two preparations in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first possibility was that Shengyun Corporation could not make up their\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>minds to cut ties with Upwind Logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation was the most optimistic situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because Upwind Logistics would continue to expand to second- and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>third-tier cities, county cities, and even more remote areas. As long as\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation could not make up its mind to cut ties with Upwind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logistics, Upwind Logistics would definitely completely control the entire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>express delivery industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of course, it was impossible to grasp all of them, but he just had to grasp all\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the main cities and a portion of the remote areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Shengyun Corporation and the other express delivery companies\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would become meat on the table. They could arrange whatever they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was so difficult about regular delivery business? It was nothing more\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>than using large trucks to transport express deliveries from one logistics\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>distribution center to another. It was not a matter of high-tech threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upwind Logistics would distribute some money that they burned every year or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>simply direct it to Boss Pei. This regular delivery business could be opened in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Upwind Logistics would take advantage of the situation and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gradually use their owm regular delivery business to replace other logistics\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>companies delivery business. They would constantly squeeze their market\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>space. Wouldn’t that be a casual grasp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if Shengyun Corporation really could not make up its mind to split with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upwind Logistics, Lu Mingliang would continue to open courier stations with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all his might. This process would be longer, but as long as there were no\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>problems with the funds, he would definitely win in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was obvious that Shengyun Corporation was not stupid. Nie\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsheng was still very bold. Even though Shengyun Corporation had a huge\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>company disease, Nie Yunsheng still forcefully built his terminal and made up\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his mind to split it with Upwind Logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingliang had another plan for the second possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingliang understood that they would cut ties with Upwind Logistics soon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after he saw Shengyun Corporation start to build their own express delivery\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>terminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation had ample time to prepare. Naturally, Lu Mingliang had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the first possibility, the second possibility was relatively less\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stable. It would be faster, but it could wait for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prepare to open more cities’ land transportation business and fully\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>supplement the existing delivery system.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After that, the ‘system upgrade’ that we have been planning for a long time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>will be fully released!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the public opinion ferment on the internet for a few days. Then, I want to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>slap Shengyun Corporation in the face personally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingliang quickly arranged his work. He had been idling around the entire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>time, but all of a sudden, he showed his true colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of an Upwind Courier station in Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As evening approached, Shengyun Express’s express deliveryman drove an\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>electric tricycle and stopped at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the last batch of goods today. After throwing all of them into Upwind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Courier stations, today’s main work would be completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of course, he still had a lot of work to do when he returned to the express\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>delivery point. He would only be able to get off work after 8 PM\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, the express delivery point had received a notice from the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>company, requesting that apart from the core areas of Handong Province,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the express delivery companies in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>second- and third-tier cities would not be sent to Upwind Courier stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they would be sent to the express delivery cabinet and community\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>courier stations of Shengyun Express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shanghai was not affected. He still had to send it to Upwind Courier\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the express deliverymen, this did not make much of a difference. In any\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>case, they would just pull the goods over and throw them into the courier\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>station. What was the difference between throwing them into the Upwind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Courier stations or into the express delivery cabinet of Shengvun Express?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliveryman parked his tricycle and prepared to store the parcels\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the staff of Upwind Courier stations stopped him before he could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unload the car. Then, he said with a face full of smiles and a hint of apology,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tm sorry. Upwind Courier stations have just been forced to upgrade. Shengyun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corporation’s express delivery seems to have encountered a bug. The system\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cannot record it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliveryman was stunned. “Huh? System upgrade? When did that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff explained, This system had been upgraded a while ago. It said that it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wanted to be upgraded, but it had not been pushed. Today, it was suddenly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forced\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, this new system doesn’t seem to be perfect. I don’t know what the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>specific problem is. It should be being fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliveryman looked into the courier station. “That’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s with the goods in the courier station?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff smiled. “These goods were either delivered in the morning or from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>other express delivery companies. The system upgraded during the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, only Shengyun Express cannot be entered into the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have to wait patiently. The subsequent version might be resolved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for why, this is a technical reason. I can’t say for sure. However, Shengyun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Express is a large-scale company. It follows a separate set of rules. It’s not the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>same set of rules as Upwind Logistics and other small companies. That’s why\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this situation happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliveryman was stunned. “What about my express delivery\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>companies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff was a little embarrassed. “This... I don’t have a choice. If the system\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>doesn’t support me, I can’t put you in the warehouse. What’s more, this is all\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>set by the higher-ups. I can’t make this decision. Why don’t.. you call your\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>superior to ask for instructions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliveryman was a little speechless. He called outside and left in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his motor tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, he was planning to put the express deivery in the nearby express\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>delivery calbinet and Shengyun Corporation’s own residential courier station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a scene was happening in all the Upwind Courier stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The express deliverymen in the key areas of Jingzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guangzhou pulled their parcels to Upwind Courier stations as usual. However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they realized that there seemed to be a problem with the new system of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upwind Courier stations. They could not enter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person-in-charge of the various express delivery stations had a headache\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when he called to report. He could only report again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he had no choice but to send them all to Shengyun Corporation’s\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>own express delivery cabinet and community courier station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, it was full!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were the delivery cabinets full, but the residential area’s courier\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stations were also full. Not to mention the shelves, even the courier stations\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were filled with parcels. There was no place to step on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was very simple. Shengyun Corporation might have set up express\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>delivery calbinets and community courier stations in these first-tier cities and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the surrounding areas, but they were not completely filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because according to Shengyun Corporation’s plan, they did not\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>consider stopping Upwind Courier stations in the surrounding areas of these\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>first-tier cities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their main target was second- and third-tier cities, so their express delivery\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>terminals were mainly in second- and third-tier cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terminals in first-tier cities did not have enough capacity to accommodate\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so many deliveries!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had no choice. Even if he could not install it, he had to install it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forcefully. He could not possibly store it all in the internet points and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>warehouses and not send it to consumers when the express delivery arrived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many express deliverymen watched helplessly as the shelves in Upwind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Courier stations were filled with empty spaces. However, they could not enter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the warehouse. It was simply unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen were tortured to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he would have finished delivering the take -out at six or seven in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the evening. He would have ended work at eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was different today. They had to bring these express delivery\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>companies to the nearby express delivery cabinets and district courier stations\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to record them down. Some district courier stations had to think of other\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>substitute delivery points if they could not fit them. It was already past eight at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>night after unloading the cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went back to the internet area to work on other things. The knock-off time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was going to be extended to 10 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more infuriating was that when he passed by Upwind Courier\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stations, he realized that Upwind Courier stations had become very free!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upwind Courier stations’ express deliverymen had originally wanted to deliver\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>parcels to customers’ doorsteps, so they were in charge of the shift. The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>employees took turns to look at the shop and deliver the parcels. They were\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the express deliverymen of Shengyun Corporation had knocked off,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Upwind Courier stations were still working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of course, Upwind Courier stations were closed down. Their working hours\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were much shorter than other express deliverymen. However, when Shengyun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corporation’s express deliverymen saw that Upwind Courier stations were still\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>busy after work, they could more or less feel better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, today was great. Upwind Courier stations had completely relaxed and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knocked off happily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen felt even more unbalanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upwind Logistics express deliverymen had a short working time, earned a lot\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of money, took shifts, and had good benefits. In the past, they had at least\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knocked off later than us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, now, they had knocked off earlier than us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he remain calm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as sour as eating tons of lemons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more despairing was that the cell phones of these express\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>deliverymen were almost exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because many people realized that their parcels were not delivered to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their doorstep? They were not placed at the familiar Upwind Courier stations\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>either. Why were they thrown far away at the delivery stations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people could not remain calm after checking the logistics. Why did they\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>throw it so far away? Why did they want me to get it myself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not find Upwind Logistics and could only call Shengyun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corporation’s express delivery man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they realized that the line was either busy or occupied. Some express\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>deliverymen even switched their cell phones off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation’s express deliverymen were on the brink of collapse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and so were the customers who could not reach the phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This anxiety was like an electric current. It soon reached the upper echelons of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengyun Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>",2018,"2026-06-06T01:58:29.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","f56d851d774dc79bfd8449306638ed4f9fc5b667753387d6b1a901270aaa5933","losing-money-to-be-a-tycoon-chapter-1484","losing-money-to-be-a-tycoon-chapter-1482",1674,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flosing-money-to-be-a-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
