Chapter 5, Sheet 5, First Order

"drip-drip-drip ......"

The urgent ringing of the incoming call pulled Xu Bing back from his sleep.

Xu Bing frowned and squinted his eyes, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

He was too excited last night, and had fallen asleep in a daze after studying until four or five o'clock.

When he saw the caller ID name and the time, he was instantly energized.

When he picked up the phone, Xu Bing apologized, "Hello, Brother Li. I'm sorry. I'll be there soon."

"It's okay. I didn't answer your call last night, and I'm still so late today, so I called to ask. Is everything okay?" Over the phone, Li Jun asked.

"Nothing nothing nothing." I was just dragged by my buddy to drink until two or three in the morning. The phone was muted last night. I'll be there soon."

"Well good."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Bing was busy getting up to wash up.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the delivery site.

There were only two people left in the site. A colleague, Xiaolong, had replaced him in charge of the delivery to Donghua New Village. He is now in charge of the site.

When Li Jun saw Xu Bing coming, he didn't say much, just motioned him to the side.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Xu Bing was busy finishing the buns and soy milk in his hands.

"Are you sure your buddy's side of the logistics, the whole country is bound to arrive within three days?" Li Jun took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Bing, lighting one himself.

The two of them gobbled it up on the side of the road.

"No problem." Xu Bing listened to Li Jun personally mention this matter, estimated that there is live. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services, and to provide a wide range of products and services to customers. They also repeatedly assured me that there is no problem. The company said that it would not be able to provide a single product for the market. I'll take the money, call their company back, and take the rest. Don't worry about it."

Li Jun nodded: "That's fine. I contacted a client last night. There's a list, it's up to your side to accept it."

Xu Bing: "Where?"

"Northern Snow Region."

Now, Xu Bing's brows furrowed. Cryptically, he said, "I said Brother Li, your first order came so far ah. It's all to the country's rooster tail."

"The price is not low." Li Jun said with a laugh.

"Brother Li, you say." Xu Bing immediately said.

"The amount of cargo is not much, 50 parties, Peng Yun Logistics Park over there only to the city, but the target location is 200 kilometers away. The target location is 200 kilometers away.

According to the normal time, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days to deliver the goods. But this time, because of special reasons, the customer pulled the goods to the logistics park, but no one picked up, and went back to the warehouse. Time has been three days.

In fact, place is not a problem, dry logistics is the bowl of rice. But this time, because of the special circumstances, the customer encountered unlucky timing. The truck didn't go. The customer is ready to withdraw the order."

Li Jun laughed and continued: "According to the current logistics offer over there, the light goods are 300 yuan per side. I gave him a quote of 400 yuan per side. The package will be delivered in a week or so."

Xu Bing was asked: "Other logistics in the past 300 yuan a party, let the logistics to that side, and then spend a couple of thousand to send to the door, 200 kilometers is not far, a lot of people do it, right? What do you call a special case?"

Li Jun Dao; "Do you think the people at those logistics points are all idiots? Is there money they don't make? Three or four days ago, there was a small earthquake there, and the only highway was cracked in many places.

At the moment, the only road has not been repaired yet. So vehicles can't get across. It's not very populated, and the signal is poor, so if something happens, it's really easy to get into trouble. So no one wants to go there. It's useless to raise the freight rates."

Xu Bing pondered.

400 yuan for a square, 20,000 yuan for 50 squares.

A nine-meter-six car was enough.

According to the 60% off price and his 50-50 split with Li Jun, the total amount was 16,000, but the trip out, minus the round-trip airfare and car rental, food and lodging, could earn about 10,000.

But the main reason was that the place was far away, unfamiliar and remote, and it was not cost-effective.

If I take the train and rent a car, I can save a lot of money.

According to what the salesman said last night, the cost of renting a car for nine meters and six inches is 500 yuan a day.

If you include the rest time, the round trip is about 7 days, that's 3,500 yuan. Including room and board and the cost of renting another local vehicle for the trip, the total is estimated to be around 4500 yuan.

Although this is not as cost effective as hiring a local, the roads there are blocked and the vehicles are not concealed. On the contrary, it is easy to get into trouble.

However, the goods can be received into the space, to pull the city and then rent a car to go to a small village near the town to drop off the goods. This way nothing is likely to happen.

"Eh? No, you can't count it that way." A pen appeared in Ezan's mind and crossed out the way he had just thought of.

You could have the customer pull the load into a parking lot somewhere, find an excuse to park it for a few hours or overnight, and save yourself the cost of a rental car.

After that, he could put the goods into the space, and then notify his boss to take the car away.

Then he only needs to pay for the round-trip train fare, room and board, and a local rental car to get there.

All in all, it was no more than $2,000.

Thus, he saved more than 3,000 yuan in rental car expenses.

Thinking of this, he had a new way to save money.

He now wanted to make money fast and pay off his debt! What you save is what you earn.

With Pu, he looked to Li Jun.

"Brother Lee, do you know what the goods are? If you're willing to pay the $20,000 fee, what does the owner make?"

Li Jun thought about it, unsure: "It seems to be some kind of raw material. I didn't ask about the details. But I heard that it was imported. Hey, whatever it is. But is it okay on your side?"

"I'm going to call and ask. What's the exact address?"

"I'll send you my phone, you go ask first."

Xu Bing took the phone to the side, Li Jun sent the address over, and continued to wait.

Xu Bing pretended to make a phone call to inquire about the cost of his phone.

A moment later, he came to Li Jun's side and slowly said.

"Just asked. There is no special line to that place, but it just so happens that a client is also going to La Cheng, so we can go there together.

However, the road to the town there is not only partially broken, but also blocked the entrance and exit, so there is no way to get there in three days, but it's estimated to be a week. In addition, considering the safety issue, there is a dispatching fee of 3,000 yuan.

This money will not be shared with us, but will be used for the local delivery person's fare and the cost of laying a temporary passing road, otherwise the vehicle can't pass. Finally, the place is special, and the payment is cash on delivery. Cash on delivery is not accepted."

Li Jun thought, "That shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Bing nodded and said, "Brother Li, this is what I meant, about a week's time. The total cost is 23,000 yuan, you discuss with the client there, if you are willing, the money to today can be pulled away."

"Done. I'll give you the news later."

Li Jun said, stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, and went into the store.

Xu Bing didn't go in, but was pondering.

Ask the customer to send a car to pull the goods to the designated parking lot. When the goods arrive, find a parking lot and put them in the space.

The cost is 500 yuan less.

Book another train ticket, and you can get to La Cheng in two days - a round-trip ticket for about 1000 yuan.

Rent a car and head back to the town, wait for the goods to be received there, and you can make the round trip the same day. The cost of renting an SUV is expected to be about 500 to 600 yuan a day, right?

In the meantime, you can do a lap of white rafting in La Cheng and come back.

This is the plan, and it can be done in about three days. There for one day, and then come back, six days or so.

All in all, the total cost is expected to be no more than 2,000 yuan.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If it's more or less, it won't be more than 3,000 yuan.

This is much less than the initial budget of four to five thousand yuan.

Thinking of this, a smile rippled across Xu Bing's face.
