Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"It's not impossible to create 2000 jobs, but you have to be responsible for skills training, right?" Yang Mo said after pondering for a long time.

Liao Tingxuan nodded: "Skills training is not a problem. Tell me, what kind of skill training is needed?"

"Truck driving!" Yang Mo said.

"You need 2000 truck drivers?" Liao Tingxuan asked in surprise.

"Amazon China will be online soon. We can't always rely on the postal express network. We need to set up our own express company. In the future, the express company will follow Amazon to go overseas!" Yang Mo explained.

"But truck drivers need a certain level of education. Workers in closed rare earth mines generally have low levels of education. Their employment is a big problem!" Liao Tingxuan said with concern.

"That's no problem! We still need ordinary employees to deliver express delivery. Of course, this requires the General Post Office to issue us an express delivery license..." Yang Mo said.

"Is this something you planned a long time ago? In the name of helping us solve the problem of employee employment, help you solve the express delivery license problem? Are you unwilling to endure hardship anyway..." Liao Tingxuan asked in surprise.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Haha, win-win...win-win! The era of e-commerce is coming. It is impossible for the Post Office to monopolize the entire express delivery industry. It will be distributed sooner or later. The Post Office is both an athlete and a referee. Instead of thinking about restricting private logistics express delivery For the development of enterprises, it is better to travel lightly, strengthen their competitiveness, and embrace the arrival of the e-commerce era..."

Liao Tingxuan pondered for a moment and then said: "We can explain the situation to the General Post Office and fight for you for the express license, but I have a condition..."

"What conditions?"

"You, the Zhiyuan Group, must participate in the entire rare earth industry rectification campaign and come up with 3-5 practical investment projects, with a total investment of no less than US$1.5 million..."

Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Director Liao, we can't cooperate with you if you talk like a lion! It's just an express delivery license, and it will have to be approved by us sooner or later!"

"Just a courier license? Why did I hear that there are several newly opened courier companies in the south, fighting guerrillas with the postal system every day? Vehicles are impounded almost every day..." Liao Tingxuan said.

Yang Mo waved his hand and said, "I get angry when I think about this! The postal service only wants to monopolize the express delivery business in its own hands, and is trying every means to suppress private logistics and express delivery companies. The logistics and express delivery industry cannot develop, and e-commerce is just a castle in the air. If this continues, the Internet technology revolution will be far behind the United States!"

Liao Tingxuan smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and the postal service is not easy. With a stamp of a few cents, a letter can be sent to a remote area thousands of miles away. Trains, cars, bicycles, and even horse-drawn carriages can bump along the way. They’re not losing money! If the developed coastal areas and international express delivery business are taken away by private enterprises, how can they survive?”

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "It is not impossible for the postal express business to turn losses into profits!"

Liao Tingxuan asked with interest: "Tell me, if you can really turn a profit in the postal express business, I will definitely work hard to help you get an express delivery license!"

"Director Liao, these lines are like mountains. You don't know exactly where they are losing money in their postal express business. Let's talk about it when we meet the senior leaders of the General Post Office!" Yang Mo said covertly.

"Have you worked up your appetite? Okay! I'll call Director Liu right now. If you can't tell me how ugly you are, let's see how I deal with you!" Liao Tingxuan said and picked up the phone on his desk.

Yang Mo quickly pressed Liao Tingxuan's hand and said with a smile: "Director Liao, it's a long story and I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Why don't you ask him out for a chat?"

Liao Tingxuan glared at Yang Mo and dialed a number: "Director Liu? My old Liao..."

After the two of them were polite on the phone for a while, Liao Tingxuan chuckled and said: "Director Liu, you don't know. Just now Yang Mo boasted in my office about Haikou, saying that he had a way to turn your postal express delivery business from losses to profits. This Guy give him what he can..."

"Zhiyuan Group Yang Mo?"

"That's right! Who else but him dares to boast like this?"

"Didn't he say a specific method?"

"Haha, I guess I'm just talking nonsense. I can't think of any solution, and I still shirk the need to say it in front of Director Liu..."

"Director Liao, I heard that this Yang Mo has some tricks up his sleeve. I'm wondering if there is any way! Has he left? How about you keep him for a while and I'll come right away?"

"That's okay! Director Liu, how about this? Can you arrange the work at hand and have a drink together in the evening?"

…………

"Director Liao, the sun is shining in the west today? Do you always want to treat guests?" Yang Mo teased.

"Isn't it about you? I owed you something in my previous life..." Liao Tingxuan said angrily.

The clubhouse near the Metallurgical Bureau.

"Here, let me introduce to you. This is Director Liu Qing of the General Post Office, and this is Yang Mo of Zhiyuan Group!" Liao Tingxuan stood up and explained.

Yang Mo extended his hands enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Liu Bureau, I have long admired your name, please take care of me!"

Liu Qing also smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, you are a great big shot now. Rumor has it that your stamping of feet will make Wall Street tremble..."

"Haha, if I really have this ability, then I will have to stomp on the Wall Street Earthquake..."

After chatting for a while, Liu Qing asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I heard Director Liao say, do you have a way to turn the postal express business from a loss to a profit?"

"Liu Bureau, it's just a casual joke! Liu Bureau, do you take it seriously? How can I be so capable?" Yang Mo explained quickly.

How could Liu Qing, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, not understand the reason why Liao Tingxuan organized this small gathering?After pondering for a while, he said: "It's okay, just chatting casually. Let's share any ideas together..."

Liao Tingxuan chuckled and said: "Since Director Liu has said so, it would be bad if Mr. Yang keeps hiding it!"

After Yang Mo pondered for a while, he said with a sincere face: "Actually, I don't have any good ideas. I am just wondering if it would be better if the General Post Office separated the postal express business and established a branch company that is responsible for its own profits and losses?"

"Then what?" Liu Qing said thoughtfully.

Yang Mo continued: "If we separate the express delivery business from the system, will this be able to significantly reduce labor costs? Drivers and couriers will be recruited through social recruitment to form a healthy competition mechanism with the original employees and improve work efficiency!"
