Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.
Chapter 592 Li Lizhi Wants to Start a Delivery Service
"Alright, no need to publicize it everywhere, I won't bother."
Li Qin stopped Si Zi from having this idea.
"Why?" Si Zi didn't understand.
"Because it's not true to say you're great when you're the one doing it; it's only when others say it that it matters."
Li Qin patiently explained to Si Zi, "This was actually Mingda's idea. I just bought the candy and didn't do anything. I didn't even think about these things."
"So it's only right that everyone praises Mingda. Besides, I don't care about these things. I'd rather see Mingda liked and praised by everyone. That's good enough."
The little princess nodded her head as if she understood but not quite.
"It's so hot!"
She could tell that Xiao Nangjun didn't seem to care much about these things.
However, after being praised by so many people in Chang'an, Si Zi was quite happy again.
"Hee hee~"
Being praised is one thing, but Sizi knows that her candy must have helped many people to earn the praise.
The little girl was also very happy to be able to help others.
Being helpful is a fine quality of the Sizi.
The little princess can find happiness while helping others.
“From now on, the medical school will send enough candy every month, in the name of Sizi.”
Li Er said with a smile that his daughter had a good reputation, which made him, as her father, proud.
This is a good thing; keep it up.
At least so that when those who come to the doctor eat the candy, they can think of how good their daughter is.
This can also be considered a way to accumulate good karma and do good deeds.
Li Yuan laughed heartily and praised, "Our Sizi is truly wonderful! Hahaha, my girl, your grandfather is so proud of you!"
The old man was very pleased; a little girl could actually do something that everyone in the city praised.
And look at Li Tai and Li Ke, damn it!
Comparing people to each other makes people angry!
The things those two did last time have almost left them with a bad reputation.
Just don’t mention it!
After dinner, Li Lizhi suddenly approached Li Qin.
"Young master, do you have a moment? I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
Li Qin smiled and nodded, then entered the study with Li Lizhi.
Sizi wanted to follow, but her mother stopped her.
Upon entering the study, Li Qin poured himself and Li Lizhi a cup of tea.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Li Lizhi was slightly reserved, and after thinking for a while, she spoke:
"Well, I'd like to try using the post station to do some modern courier and mail delivery work. I wonder if that's feasible?"
When Li Qin heard what she said, he almost spat out his tea.
"Courier service? Postal service? Relying on postal stations?"
Li Lizhi nodded seriously.
"Yes, I saw this idea in some novels and thought it was feasible, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
Li Qin looked at her amusedly, then shook his head and said:
"That's fiction, all fantasy and wishful thinking."
"You just need to think about what supports the express delivery industry, and you'll understand the feasibility of this."
Li Lizhi frowned slightly and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't find an answer.
So he looked at Li Qin and asked, "I hope you can enlighten me, young man."
"Order volume!" Li Qin simply uttered a single word.
"Modern express delivery relies on tens of thousands of orders to operate, and can even make many discounts and concessions on prices."
"Great Tang, do you think we have that kind of capacity? Or rather, Great Tang, do we have that many people who need to have things delivered by courier?"
"Unless they are merchants transporting goods, but those people have their own transportation channels and routes. What do you, as a courier, have to convince them of that?"
Li Lizhi: "..."
Li Lizhi fell silent.
Indeed, I had made some assumptions.
I saw that there were many post stations in the Tang Dynasty, and I thought that if we could make use of them, we could set up a courier service.
If we could achieve this modern effect, no, even just half or a third of it, we could make a lot of money.
However, it overlooked the needs of the common people of the Tang Dynasty, most of whom had virtually no need for express delivery.
Sending messages might be okay, but there probably aren't many of those.
Now that she realized what was happening, Li Lizhi thought of the literacy rate and population of the Tang Dynasty.
This business is really not easy.
He finally thought he had come up with a brilliant idea, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Qin refuted it.
This made Li Lizhi, who was eager to impress Li Qin, feel disappointed and regretful.
My thinking is too one-sided and presumptuous; I'm not mature enough.
"Of course, the idea of making use of the post station is not bad, and turning it into a courier service is also possible, but it certainly can't be like the modern ones."
Li Qin suddenly smiled and said.
Li Lizhi looked up at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
Then Li Qin continued, "You can target those wealthy people and provide them with exclusive courier services."
Li Lizhi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
"It's very simple. In the Tang Dynasty today, all the good things are in Chang'an. It's extremely difficult for people from other places to get these modern goods, and the prices are incredibly high."
"Many middlemen would get a little bit of goods in Chang'an and then go to other places to make a fortune."
"If they can make this money, we can too, it just depends on how we do it."
Li Lizhi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Qinqiu and asked, "Please enlighten me, young master."
Li Qin smiled and waved his hand: "It's not exactly answering questions, but I just had an idea after you reminded me."
"Actually, the post stations can still be utilized. You can organize a group of people and goods to run express delivery throughout the Tang Dynasty, specifically serving those wealthy people."
"Make a product brochure, and when you go to a new place, you can give it to the wealthy people there."
“The prices of all kinds of goods are clearly marked. Of course, the prices cannot be the same as in Chang'an City. They are calculated according to distance; the farther away, the more expensive the price.”
"As for how to price it, you can think of it yourself, or you can discuss it with your second aunt."
"When these wealthy people see these products and want to buy them, they can directly pay our deliverymen or have them delivered to the post station."
"We promise to deliver to your door within half a month."
Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise, "Half a month?!"
“In some places, it takes more than half a month just to get there, and then you have to send messages back and forth. How is that even possible?”
"Could it be that the young master is planning to use a helicopter to deliver goods?"
Li Lizhi felt it was somewhat unrealistic. She had now realized that Li Qin was planning to create a Tang Dynasty-style online shopping platform.
It's just that there's no internet; it's all done manually.
Li Qin waved his hand, signaling Li Lizhi to calm down.
"It's definitely not by air, I don't have that kind of free time."
"My idea is to set up some logistics warehouses in various places before fully operating, and to store all kinds of goods."
"In this way, goods can be dispatched directly from the logistics warehouse without having to come to Chang'an."
"It's simple, convenient, quick, and easy, which also helps to build a better reputation."
