Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat when he saw Upwind Logistics on the trending searches.
What's going on?
Upwind Logistics was incurring huge losses. It was the hope of the entire Tengda Corporation. Lu Mingliang was also the pillar of support for Tengda Corporation. Nothing must happen to you!
Pei Qian quickly clicked on the trending searches to check the details.
In fact, although Shengyun Corporation and Upwind Logistics occupied the trending searches, the two companies' news were actually separate.
Shengyun Corporation's position on the trending searches was very high. The topics were # Shengyun Corporation is causing trouble again # and # Shengyun Corporation's deliveries are full #. On the other hand, Upwind Logistics' position was quite low. The topic was # Upwind Logistics' service suspension #. The former was an affirmative sentence, and the latter was a question.
However, it was obvious that there was a connection between the two.
There were many discussions on the internet. Although they were all in bits and pieces, Pei Qian quickly figured out the whole story through the netizens' discussions.
"What's wrong with Shengyun Express? My delivery has been at the transit station for a few hours. Why isn't it delivered to me yet? "
"They can't deliver it, right? I'm in Shanghai. I saw that Shengyun Express' delivery cabinets are full. Their community courier stations are full as well. There's not even a place to stand. If you're in a hurry, go to the community courier station to get it. "
"Why should I go to the community courier station to get it? Didn't they deliver it to my door in the past? "
"The Upwind Courier station delivers it to your door … I went to ask. Upwind Courier station has temporarily stopped accepting parcels from Shengyun Express due to the system upgrade. That's why … Shengyun Express must be in a daze. All these parcels are piled up together. It's almost like the Double 11 warehouse is full."
"Shengyun Express is really a bunch of useless people. It's not even the Chinese New Year. Why are their parcels full? Or could it be that they didn't arrange for the people at the various outlets according to the delivery volume and capacity? Is that why they're in a mess now? "
"I think it's Upwind Logistics' fault. Look at Shengyun Express' notice. They said that there's a problem with Upwind Logistics, which has caused the terminal's parcels to pile up. They're sending more people to deliver them. That's why there's a delay of a few days. I suggest that everyone pick them up at the courier stations and courier stations as soon as possible."
"Why is it Upwind Logistics' fault? Shengyun Express didn't say that they had to deliver to Shengyun Express. It was up to Shengyun Express to do whatever they wanted. Shengyun Express was the express company with the highest market share in the country. Without Upwind Courier stations, how could Shengyun Express fail in the delivery process? So, are you a delivery giant or a delivery giant baby? "
"Heh, you still have the cheek to blame Upwind Logistics? Didn't Shengyun Express announce that they were going to stop working with Upwind Logistics? 'What's wrong? The thief is crying' stop the thief '. Are you trying to push the blame onto him?' How shameless! "
Although the onlookers were a little confused, and not everyone could figure out the truth of the matter, they naturally had a good impression of Upwind Logistics. Thus, they naturally leaned toward Upwind Logistics.
Upwind Logistics was one of Tengda's express delivery brands. They had been diligently delivering parcels to people's doorsteps for a long time. The delivery men were kind and warm-hearted. They left a good impression on customers.
But what about Shengyun Express? Although Upwind Logistics had a high market share, its image was far inferior to Upwind Logistics in all aspects.
Thus, when this happened, everyone's first reaction was to scold Shengyun Express.
In fact, there was no reason for this matter to spread so quickly. After all, it was just a slight delay. It was ridiculous that it became a trending topic in just one day.
The key was that this time, it was not as simple as' express delivery delays'. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and the surrounding areas of Jingzhou were all experiencing severe delays. What's more, Sheng Yun Express' express delivery cabinets and courier stations were all full!
If it was a special holiday like Double 11, everyone would understand. What's more, Shengyun Express could say that their warehouses were full because their business was too good.
However, these two days were not special. It was just an ordinary working day. Yet, their express delivery cabinets were still full. Did that mean that there was a problem with Shengyun Express' entire system? Was it too fragile to the point that it would shatter at the slightest touch?
Shengyun Express also tried its best to push the blame away. It said that Upwind Logistics suddenly stopped supporting Shengyun Express, causing the terminal to be delayed.
However, very soon, someone stood up and exposed Shengyun Express's' partial truth '. It was Shengyun Express that stopped working with Upwind Logistics in second- and third-tier cities and remote areas first!
What's more, there was an internal notice to prove it. There was no point in denying it.
In fact, when Shengyun Express banned Chilu Express, it had issued an internal notice about banning all agents of Chilu Express and a notice about punishment for agents of Chilu Express. At that time, someone had exposed it. However, it did not attract much attention. It was not very popular. Thus, it did not cause any waves.
That time, Shengyun Express banned Chilu Express just like that. Chilu Express was a pushover.
Chilu Express might be cheap, but its service did not leave a deep impression on customers. After the ban, Shengyun Express's own business was not affected at all. Thus, Chilu Express quietly went down the drain.
However, the situation was completely different this time. Shengyun Express had kicked an iron plate!
Obviously, Upwind Logistics and Chilu Express were not on the same level. They were not even in the same dimension.
When the netizens saw this, they thought, Great. Shengyun Express stopped working with Upwind Logistics in second- and third-tier cities and promoted its own express delivery counters and residential courier stations. Isn't this destroying the bridge after crossing the river? Isn't this the same as picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to curse?
Their cooperation was going well, but Shengyun Express insisted on building its own express delivery counters and residential courier stations to replace Upwind Courier stations.
Then, the Upwind Courier Station naturally stopped working with you in a first-tier city, and you panicked? You started to complain about your grievances?
I've never seen such a shameless person!
Of course, although Shengyun Express was scolded, the public opinion was not completely one-sided.
That was because Shengyun Express could hire fake reviewers!
Once the fake reviewers were deployed, they could barely maintain a balance in terms of volume. They used nothing more than 'Upwind Logistics is not a good person', 'Upwind Logistics wants to take drastic measures to bring down Shengyun Express', 'Shengyun Express can't do anything about it', and so on.
The more the two parties hyped up the matter, the more popular it became.
Those who had been suppressing their anger because Shengyun Express did not deliver their goods turned their anger into motivation. They crazily ate gossip online and engaged in a fierce battle with Shengyun Express's fake reviewers!
After roughly understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Pei Qian felt that it was time for him to ask about this matter.
Upwind Logistics was the key to whether Tengyun Express would incur losses during this cycle!
That was because Pei Qian had roughly calculated that the pressure of incurring losses during this cycle was indeed unprecedented. Even if he took into account the charity activities, the construction of the zoo, and the investment in the headquarters, it would still be difficult to complete the incurring losses.
That was because Tengda was too big now. It was getting harder and harder to calculate accurately.
Everything else aside, a slight fluctuation in the performance of those few profitable industries would result in a huge sum of money out of thin air.
Thus, Pei Qian had to rack his brains to plan ahead.
He could spend a huge sum of money on acquiring Finger Games, but he might not be able to settle this before settlement! He could not count on this too much.
What's more, all these calculations were based on the premise that Upwind Logistics would maintain its current incurring losses.
If Upwind Logistics were to suddenly incur less losses before settlement, it would be very easy for something big to happen.
At that thought, Pei Qian dialed Lu Mingliang's number and asked about Upwind Logistics and Shengyun Express.
Lu Mingliang sounded very confident over the phone. "Boss Pei, don't worry. Everything is under control!
"I've been unhappy with Shengyun Express for a long time. They were the ones making the most money from the deliveries, and yet they still want to kick us aside? They're really shameless!
"What should I do with them?!
"That's right, Boss Pei, don't worry. After temporarily suspending our business with them, Upwind Logistics has become much more relaxed. That's because we've been operating at a loss to begin with. That's why we're incurring fewer deliveries. We can even save a lot of performance pay and overtime pay.
"In other words, we don't have to worry about money at all.
"If this continues, Shengyun Corporation will definitely be the first to collapse!"
Pei Qian fell silent.
I don't know who will collapse first between Shengyun Corporation and Upwind Logistics, but I know that I'll definitely be the first to collapse.
How can you guys incur less losses? Aren't you trying to kill me at this critical juncture?
However, the main reason why both parties were in this state was that Shengyun Corporation wanted to cut ties with Upwind Logistics. What Lu Mingliang was doing was a legitimate counterattack.
Pei Qian couldn't possibly force all the employees of Upwind Logistics to continue working with Shengyun Corporation just to incur more losses, right? That wasn't something a human could do.
Upwind Logistics shouldered the huge responsibility of incurring losses, and Pei Qian still had to rely on them.
Pei Qian thought about it and realized that there was no good solution to this problem. That was because he knew nothing about Upwind Logistics' entire system. Naturally, it was hard for him to find the right solution.
When Upwind Logistics was first established, Pei Qian was still very familiar with the entire system. After all, this system was built according to his ideas. However, Upwind Logistics had been incurring losses for several years. Lu Mingliang, as the person-in-charge, was very stable. Pei Qian felt very reassured!
Thus, Pei Qian did not pay attention to Upwind Logistics' situation.
Since he didn't know anything, Pei Qian decided to let Lu Mingliang decide for himself.
After pondering for a moment, Pei Qian said, "Alright, I'll leave Upwind Logistics to you. I won't interfere. However, I have a request: you can't skimp on money.
"The most basic task I'm giving you is to maintain the current losses.
"If you can expand these losses, that would be even better!
