Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In a small small house, Yang Dongxu and Xiao Wu were holding cigarettes and playing cards. The house had a suspended ceiling, so it was not very high. In addition, the area was not very large. Only with the air conditioner turned on did the house feel a bit like this.

Warmth.

A few people were playing mahjong for a small amount of money. The first draw was 5 yuan, and the last 10 yuan was spent. It cost about 100 yuan to spend half a day playing mahjong. Whoever won the game was treated to a meal. In the end, the money won was probably not enough for a bottle of wine.

So playing cards with a few people has nothing to do with gambling, it's just a boring way to pass the time, and adding some winnings makes playing cards a bit more interesting.

"Xu Zi wants to ask you something, Liutiao." Seeing Yang Dongxu finish smoking, Xiao Wu threw another cigarette to him.

When actually playing cards, the people sitting at the table do not smoke, because smoking means scattering wealth, which has a bad connotation. They obviously don't pay attention to this when playing cards.

"Don't worry, my throat hurts from smoking. I'll drink some tea." Yang Dongxu put the cigarette aside, "Have you encountered any difficulty? Eight tubes."

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just that in the past two months, a logistics company called SF Express and a logistics company called Dafeng approached me for cooperation.

The terms of the offer were great, so I thought he was a liar and ignored him. But later, he invited a city leader to make a dinner date with me, and said he could find a lawyer to sign a formal contract.

It's obvious that the other party is not a liar. But according to the cooperation method they proposed, I calculated that they didn't make any money at all, and they made me make more than before. What do you think they were trying to do?" Xiao Wu said.

Da Liang and Gazi sitting nearby also pricked up their ears.

In the past two years, Gazi, whose car repair shop has grown bigger and bigger, has also been playing with Xiao Wu and others, so when he sat down, Dabai, Xiao Tao, Xiao Liang and General all stepped back, leaving only one for Gazi.

In fact, the three of them plus Gazi's younger brother, Xiaodong, could fit together at the same table, but Yang Dongxu seemed to find it more interesting to watch cards than to play them. So the four of them watched the whole room and sat there smoking, drinking tea, and watching the fun.

"How many years will the contract be signed?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"It says it's a three-year contract."

"It's enough money." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Several people looked confused.

"It's very simple. These two companies are competing. It's like Sinopec and PetroChina. Wherever there is Sinopec, you can definitely find a PetroChina within a short distance.

Another example is China Unicom and China Mobile. Many China Unicom phone card sales departments must have a mobile phone company opposite, and these two companies are also competing now."

"I asked how to give such a big benefit. The people from SF Express here just left, and the people from Dafeng over there came. I asked several colleagues in the logistics industry, and both companies have also approached them."

Xiao Wu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"What are your plans?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Xiao Wu did not choose to cooperate with Dafeng just because Dafeng was his.

"I don't know. At first I thought there was something going on here and refused directly. Now that I heard what you said, Daliang and I will think about it again. But how long will these two companies compete? The benefits of these three years may not be so great.

Is that too much?" Xiao Wu said.

"I don't know how long the competition will last, but no matter who wins or loses, your life will not be easy after three years." Yang Dongxu said.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Wu and others looked stunned.

"It means that there are two big guys, and your company can only be regarded as a small shrimp. Now the two are competing to spend money to expand the market, so while they are buying these transportation companies at high prices, they are also increasing the number of people entering this industry.

threshold.

In other words, they have acquired small transportation companies like yours in advance. If others still want to enter this industry, they will not be able to cooperate with you.

If you want to do it yourself, you have to buy a place and a car, and you have to go everywhere to contact business expansion customers. The threshold is not generally high. Many people may not do it after thinking about it and invest in other things.

And when two people divide the market, other people who want to enter the industry are also blocked. Then the two people who originally competed with each other naturally need to make a profit.

It's impossible to spend so much effort and still lose money without making any money, right? Once they stabilize and start making money, those of you who want the company will either agree to be acquired or wait for bankruptcy.

Because their company is big enough and well-known enough, customers trust it more. They have more cars and lower shipping costs. How can you compete with others?"

"Oh no, I'm just saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. These two companies are really shady. They will occupy the market first and then set the rules." Daliang couldn't help cursing.

Gazi and the others kept nodding, feeling that these two big companies were very shady.

In fact, this is not a new method of competition. It is the integration of the market by big capital. First, they spend money to integrate and monopolize the market. Then the industry has the final say and naturally starts to raise prices as it pleases.

"If you still want to be in the logistics industry, I advise you to choose a company to join." Yang Dongxu said.

"Why are they so cunning? There are benefits for the first three years of signing the contract, but after these three years it is no longer meat on someone's chopping board, and they can cut it how they want?" Xiao Wu looked at Yang Dongxu in confusion.

"Both two companies can spend a lot of money to divide the market, which shows that they are determined to win the logistics industry. Unless you have the ability to gather other retail investors to create a third logistics company.

Otherwise, they can spend so much money, and it will only be a matter of time before they capture this market. Once the market share is enough, a small company like yours will have plenty of ways to squeeze you out.

So either you have the money to go to the poker table and play cards with others, or you find a company that you feel good about early and take advantage of it for three years.

Then use these three years to learn more and improve your abilities, and then see if you can be promoted on this platform and get a job."

"It's not as comfortable to work for others as it is to work for yourself." Xiao Wu frowned.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That is, you should share at least half of the money you earn from working for others, and the remaining half may not be all your own." Da Liang also frowned.

"Then there's nothing you can do, capital is so unreasonable. It's okay not to choose one, but you'd better find a fixed contract in advance and make the contract as long as possible, so that you have your own fixed customers and a fixed income.

.

Even if the competition between the two of them is fierce, you can't compete with others when expanding other customers. But you can still make a living by holding on to old customers, right?" Yang Dongxu said.

"Is there no other way?" Xiao Wu asked.

One is to work for others, and the other is to slowly wait for death. Both paths are not good.

“Now that big capital has entered the logistics industry, and people are beginning to make great efforts to integrate this industry, there are only two paths left.

If you have to find a third way, it means that you don’t do this business anymore. Taking advantage of the fierce competition between the two companies, you can integrate the customers, trucks, and drivers you have, package and sell them at a good price, and change your industry.

.The big fish eats the small fish. This has been the case since ancient times. How can you resist?"

"Don't do this?" Xiaowu and others raised their eyebrows.

Business has done really well this year and they have made a lot of money. They were originally discussing whether to raise funds to buy a few more large trucks and then start recruiting drivers to expand the company's scale.

Who would have ever wanted to be slapped in the head?

Yang Dongxu also heard what a few people were talking about during the past two days. Even if Xiaowu didn't ask him today, he would find an opportunity to talk to them about the current situation in the logistics industry.

The future of logistics is indeed a hot industry, but this hot profit belongs to big capital. Small merchants and vendors only drank some soup at the beginning when the big capital competed. Later, they were all harvested by big capital.

Of course, if Xiao Wu and others persist, they will not be unable to survive, but if they cannot break through the barriers of capital construction, they will still be nothing.

So it is definitely possible to support a family, but if you want to rely on this to become rich and powerful, this dream is a bit difficult to achieve.

...

There was another heavy snowfall on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so this year we had to spend the whole year in the snow. To visit relatives after the second day of the Lunar New Year, we had to go in the morning when it was freezing. Or many people could only walk or drive.

It's a tractor.

On the night before New Year's Eve, the woman was at home, chopping dumplings and stuffing them to make dumplings. The rules here in Anhui Province are that you can't use a knife or do any work on the first day of the new year.

Therefore, on New Year's Eve, children should prepare food for New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, they will only eat, play, and play cards, and not do any work.

Even hard-working women didn’t sweep the floor on the first day of the new year. Earlier, they didn’t even wash their faces or brush their teeth. They didn’t clean the pot or wash the dishes after eating. The entire first day of the new year was so lazy and decadent.

There was too much snow in the ground, so I didn’t let Xiao Wenchen follow me when I went to the graves to pay homage to my ancestors on New Year’s Eve.

The snow was too heavy, so I didn't kneel down and kowtow when I went to the grave. After lighting the paper and setting off the firecrackers, I spread out and lined up in a row and bowed directly as a salute. The kowtows and other things were arranged uniformly when I went to the grave on the morning of New Year's Day.

The heavy snow started to fall at around one o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve. Even after dark, people came to visit the graves, and there was still no intention of stopping.

"The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and next year will definitely be another good year." Grandpa Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Today, the whole family is sitting together to have New Year's Eve dinner, but it's not at Yang's house, but at my aunt's house.

In fact, blindly giving to relatives is not a good way to get along with each other. Although you don't care about the loss, your relatives sometimes feel that you look down on them.

Therefore, in the Yang family, although Yang's father is the eldest son and has the final say on many major matters, some details still need to be carefully handled.

For example, this year's New Year's Eve dinner was held at my aunt's house. Even though my aunt was very tired after cooking a large table of dishes, the smile on her face had not disappeared since the afternoon.

In addition to this, entertaining relatives this year is also a matter for the uncle's family, unless there are friends from Yang Dongxu's side.

For other relatives of the Yang family, all the relatives who come to visit this year eat at my uncle's house. The two brothers take care of things for a year, and other families are here to relieve each other's pressure. The Yang family's purpose here is purely to make the aunt feel valued and face-saving.
