Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

All business after Chapter 53 will go east!

At the gate of the float glass factory, a Toyota van was parked there. Two men, one tall and one strong, were standing in front of the van, and a box of things was placed on the ground.

Li Sanniu was unpacking the boxes and inspecting them, while Chief Engineer Liu, standing next to him, asked in shock, "You really took four hours to deliver it from Hong Kong Island to here?!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded: "Hong Kong Island is not far from Jinghai, 4 hours is normal!"

Chief Engineer Liu opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. How could he be normal?

Even though Hong Kong Island and Beijing are only separated by a border, they're like two completely different worlds! It takes them at least ten days to send something via the post office, and this guy in front of me says four hours is normal?!
Then Chief Engineer Liu asked, "Can we send things from Jinghai to Hong Kong Island just as quickly?"

"Sure, as long as the items don't violate regulations, we can deliver them!"

Chief Engineer Liu clicked his tongue in amazement, still unable to imagine how Dongfeng Express could shorten the time from 10 days to 4 hours!

"However, our prices are the same as for shipping from Hong Kong Island to the mainland. Does your factory often need to send urgent items to Hong Kong Island?"

Chief Engineer Liu smiled. He was not surprised by the price. After all, it was worth the price so quickly, and anything related to international business was very expensive these days.

"Look at what you said. There is a demand for urgent goods to be sent to our factory from Hong Kong Island. Of course, we also have urgent goods to be sent there! Your price is not cheap. I certainly can't afford it myself, but our factory can afford it!

Our Jinghai slogan is: Time is money, efficiency is life!

Ye Dongsheng stroked his chin. He had previously positioned the market for Dongfeng Express to specialize in shipping from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, and had not considered doing business from the mainland to Hong Kong Island at the beginning.

The main reason was that people subconsciously thought that the mainland economy was backward and people were generally unwilling to pay such high prices. But now I think this idea was wrong. These factories were all invested by Hong Kong businessmen. It doesn't mean that they have no money in mainland China.

This service is not difficult at all. The deliveryman who has passed the customs will deliver the express from Hong Kong Island to us, and then take the express from the mainland back when he returns. Once we go back and recruit a group of couriers in Hong Kong Island, this service can be launched directly!

Even if the business volume from the mainland to Hong Kong Island is far less than that from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, even if it is only one-tenth, that is still money!

Thinking of this, Ye Dongsheng smiled and said to Chief Engineer Liu, "We will start the express delivery service from the mainland to Hong Kong Island in one week!"

"Okay, okay! From now on, we will rely on Dongfeng Express!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled, and when he saw Li Sanniu getting up from the ground, he asked, "Director Li, is everything okay?"

"No problem! No problem!"

Li Sanniu extended his hands and shook Ye Dongsheng's hand warmly: "Thank you very much! We will have to trouble you often in the future!"

"No, no, that's what we do!"

Ye Dongsheng exchanged some pleasantries, then took out a list and said, "Director Li, if it's all right, please sign for it here."

Li Sanniu took the order, wrote his name on it, and said with a smile, "Dongfeng Express is quite rigorous!"

Ye Dongsheng said with a smile: "It is a strict company rule. If the person who signs for the order doesn't sign, our order will not be considered completed."

In later generations, many express deliveries are placed directly at the doorstep or signed for automatically. Most people have even forgotten that there is a signing process for express deliveries.

But in fact, before the popularization of mobile networks, many express deliveries still required in-person signature.

Ye Dongsheng also established a signature rule from the beginning: couriers must have a receipt signed by the customer to complete the task. This document can also avoid disputes later. At the same time, he also warned employees: if anyone dares to impersonate a customer to sign for a delivery, they will be fined 100 yuan for the first time, and fired directly for the second time!
Li Sanniu watched the Toyota Hiace depart and instructed his men, "Xiao Zhang, from now on, you will be responsible for all deliveries from Dongfeng Express. Tell the duty room to notify you as soon as the delivery arrives."

"Okay, Director Li!"

A moment later, Li Sanniu returned to the office and picked up the phone immediately.

Hong Kong Island.

Pushing open the mahogany door, the fine wool of the indigo Persian carpet swallowed up all the footsteps. A rosewood bookshelf was filled with the fragrance of books. Under the four big characters "Virtue and Bear All Things", Mr. Zheng was sitting at his desk.

The young assistant walked up to him and bowed slightly: "Mr. Zheng, Director Li from the float glass factory just called and said that the items we sent this morning have been received!"

Mr. Zheng suddenly raised his head, a look of surprise flashing across his face: "It's been delivered?!"

"Yes, 4 hours." The young assistant mentioned it, with obvious surprise in his eyes.

He placed the order himself, and actually he was skeptical at first whether Dongfeng Express could deliver the goods within one day.

Such a big box, containing 32 kilograms of materials, would take more than ten days to deliver by EMS!
But now, it is not only delivered in one day, not ten or twenty hours, but it is delivered in just four hours!
4 hours VS 200 days, with this efficiency, is the price of yuan per piece still expensive?
Not expensive at all!

Mr. Zheng sighed, "This Dongfeng Express is really something! No wonder Long Jiajun praises it so highly!"

No matter how it was delivered, Mr. Zheng was certain of one thing: this Boss Ye was really capable!

The young assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, with this Dongfeng Express, it will be much more convenient for us to travel between Jinghai and the city!"

Mr. Zheng smiled and nodded. "Please inform everyone that from now on, all business related to our float glass factory will be delivered by Dongfeng Express!"

The same scene was happening in dozens of different places in Hong Kong Island. The customers who were sending parcels were first surprised, and then overjoyed. They didn’t expect that Dongfeng Express could not only deliver the parcels within one day, but also its efficiency was far beyond their imagination!

With Dongfeng Express, their problem of traveling between the two places will be solved immediately!
How could I not inform my partners and colleagues of such good news?

As a result, Dongfeng Express's reputation and credibility continued to spread rapidly among Hong Kong businessmen!
……

At 3: in the afternoon, Ye Dongsheng and Wang Jianjun were already waiting at the entrance of the joint inspection building with their car.

"Jianjun, is there any problem with the delivery in Shekou?"

"No problem for now. Half of the couriers had already returned from their deliveries before I left, and the rest should have arrived by the time I get back."

Ye Dongsheng nodded, then saw Ah Hua and five deliverymen coming out of the door, and hurriedly walked over to them: "How is it? Did everything go smoothly through customs?"

"Everything went smoothly..."

This time, Ahua and his friends passed the customs without any problems and it only took them half an hour, which was much faster than Ye Dongsheng's trip at noon.

"But this batch of express deliveries is not large, only 41."
