reborn college era

The next day, Monday, the second week of Ye Fan's rebirth began.

Just after seven o'clock, the alarm clock in the dormitory woke up Ye Fan.

"Jia Qi, your cell phone is ringing."

Sun Jiaqi closed his eyes and pressed the button several times, finally stopping the alarm clock. He closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Soon, Zhao Dahao's alarm clock rang again. He quickly turned off the alarm clock, but he did not get up.

Ye Fan couldn't help but cursed and said: "Nima, your alarm clock went off and you didn't get up. Why did you set the alarm clock?"

"Brother Fan, you don't understand this. Setting the alarm clock is a way of life, but not being able to get up is another matter. If you don't even set the alarm clock in the morning, you are too depraved."

Sun Jiaqi replied with her eyes closed, not moving at all.

"You're awesome, just keep pretending to be asleep."

After a tiring day yesterday, Ye Fan wanted to sleep in, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to get up in the dormitory.

Seeing Ye Fan get up, Li Weixue, who followed Ye Fan as an example, also got up closely.

After getting up, Ye Fan quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then started working.

He opened the store first and saw that there were more than a dozen hits, but the sales volume was still zero. He planned to place a few orders for himself later.

Then, Ye Fan opened the forum blog and saw that there were several new replies. Ye Fan responded immediately one by one.

After replying, Ye Fan still disliked the fact that there were too few people scolding him, so he simply planned to register a few more small accounts later and scold himself in a targeted manner in order to better attract traffic.

While Ye Fan was working, several other people in the dormitory finally got up belatedly and headed out to go to class.

Sun Jiaqi and Lin Wu were the last to go out. Sun Jiaqi glanced at the time: "Brother Fan, you are going to be late. Aren't you going to class?"

"I have decided that I will skip elective courses and professional courses. Well, I will not skip Teacher Wen's class. If there is no teacher Wen's class this morning, I won't go."

After hearing this, Lin Wu nodded in agreement: "Well, Xiaofan's summary is quite reasonable. It makes me not even want to go to class."

"No, we are good students and we have to study hard." Sun Jiaqi was also a little moved, but when he thought about Wen Lan being in the classroom and seeing beautiful women, he still turned around and walked out.

"Xiao Fan, you are too depraved." Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him out.

"hey-hey……"

At this time, there was no technical content in brushing orders. Ye Fan just logged into his account, found the product and took a photo of it. Ye Fan quickly completed ten orders.

That means the network is slow, otherwise his hand speed would be faster.

After finishing the order, Ye Fan knew that the next step was to get the express delivery.

For e-commerce, express delivery is also very important. Especially in 2008, express delivery was not only costly, but also the express delivery system was not perfect.

Expensive, slow, broken and lost items are the norm nowadays for express delivery.

In 2008, young white-collar workers and school students were the mainstay of online shopping. There were several express delivery outlets near the school gate, the nearest ones being Yuantong and Zhongtong.

The two families happened to be right across from each other. Ye Fan also came here to send express delivery in his previous life, so he had a general impression of it.

The boss of Yuantong is a middle-aged man with a wife and children. He seems to be quite honest and he will probably be more responsible in his work.

Zhongtong's boss is a young guy. Young people are easy to communicate with, but he seems a bit slippery.

In 2008, before the express delivery boom started, Ye Fan observed a little at the door and found that there were no customers in either express delivery store.

Express delivery is hard work, but it is also a delicate job. Ye Fan still likes to deal with honest people, so he plans to talk to Yuantong first.

Seeing two couriers bragging at the door of Yuantong, Ye Fan walked over and handed over two cigarettes and said: "Hello, courier brother, is the courier boss here?"

When the two young men saw that it was Zhonghua, which was a grade better than the Hongtashan they smoked, they both smiled and took the cigarettes.

The young man seemed to be a bit lazy. He smelled the cigarette and said, "Just contact me for mailing and receiving. Why are you contacting my brother?"

Ye Fan was not surprised to hear that this guy was the boss's younger brother, because doing express delivery at this time was a hard job, and the profit was not high. It was usually done by the whole family, with relatives and friends together.

Seeing that the young man liked to smoke, Ye Fan simply handed him the remaining half pack of cigarettes: "I run an online store and want to talk to my boss about sending express delivery."

"Okay, even if I take your cigarettes, I won't let you suffer. I'll take you to him."

The young man took the pack of cigarettes and said with a smile: "My name is Yuan Huaqiang. You can also contact me for mailing in the future. For the sake of cigarettes, I will definitely give you the best price."

Ye Fan followed Yuan Huaqiang and chatted while walking: "Okay, how many pieces can you receive in a day?"

Yuan Huaqiang said with a little pride: "Seventy or eighty items, I usually receive the most items here."

Ye Fan nodded: "Then how many parcels do you usually send in a day?"

Yuan Huaqiang said: "The number of parcels delivered will be twice as many. Your students will receive more parcels and send fewer parcels."

Ye Fan nodded. He was thinking about calculations. The number of items received and delivered by this outlet in a day was only a few hundred items.

Ye Fan was also observing the environment and saw that the packages piled outside the door were all placed casually, and the packages in the hall were simply sorted.

When we entered the office, it was a little tidier, but there were also courier orders scattered in a mess. There was a middle-aged man checking and sorting out the courier orders in the office.

Looking at this environment, Ye Fan frowned quietly, but he also understood, because the management of the express delivery store at this time was relatively chaotic, and there were also piles of messy express delivery at the entrance of Zhongtong opposite.

Seeing his younger brother bringing someone in, Yuan Huafu said, "Huaqiang, what's the matter?"

Ye Fan took the call: "Hello boss, my name is Ye Fan, I want to send a courier."

Yuan Huafu waved his hand: "Send the courier and fill in the form outside."

Ye Fan explained: "I run an online store and send express delivery every day. I want to talk to my boss about long-term cooperation."

Nowadays, there are many students who are running online stores, but none of them are big. Seeing that Ye Fan is so young, Yuan Huafu said without paying much attention: "How many orders do you have in a day?"

"Hundreds of orders."

Seeing that Yuan Huafu didn't care, Ye Fan simply boasted first.

"Um, which store is yours?"

People these days like to brag when talking about business, and Yuan Huafu is used to it, but he is not stupid either.

Seeing that Yuan Huafu was not easy to fool, Ye Fan thought for a moment and simply spread his arms and said: "Boss, let's spread it out and talk about it. I don't have 100 orders a day yet, so you can give me 10 orders a day first.

Please quote for 50 or 100 orders.”

Yuan Huafu raised his head unexpectedly. He suddenly felt that this method of negotiating prices was actually quite good. The boss looked at Ye Fan carefully. Although he was young, he was very calm and calm, which made people feel that he might be able to succeed.

Yuan Huafu thought for a while and said: "If there are less than ten orders in a day, it will be 7 yuan within the province and 9 yuan outside the province. If there are more than ten orders, there will be a 10% discount, and if there are 50 orders, there will be a 20% discount. If there are more than 100 orders in a day, I will give you a 6.5 yuan pass."

This price, compared to the freight charges ten years from now, is of course astronomical. Ten years from now, Yiwu’s e-commerce express delivery will cost only one or two yuan per order as long as the quantity is large.

But in 2008, domestic express delivery volume was small and unit cost was high, so this price was considered quite satisfactory.

Ye Fan also understood the market situation. Although the price reached the psychological level, he still said: "Boss, your price is not as cheap as the opposite Zhongtong."

Yuan Huafu shook his head: "Doing express delivery is a hard job without much profit. That guy Zhongtong is quite slippery. If he gives you a lower price, you have to be careful."

Ye Fan declined to comment on Yuan Huafu's attack on his competitors, but asked: "Boss, can the express delivery fee be settled monthly?"

The boss shook his head: "Only for long-term corporate customers, we can make monthly settlements. For new customers, we start with daily settlements first."

Ye Fan took out his student ID card directly: "Don't worry, boss, I am a student in the School of Finance. I will definitely not be able to escape. Can you help with the monthly payment and make a good relationship?"

In the future, if the quantity is available, the price can naturally be negotiated. Ye Fan does not plan to negotiate the price for the time being, but the payment period of Dibao.com exceeds 10 days, and he is more worried about his lack of working capital, so he wants to get the monthly settlement.

Ye Fan did not have a fixed office space and a business license. Normally, his boss Yuan Huafu would not agree to the monthly settlement, but looking at the calm and calm Ye Fan, he suddenly felt a little hesitant.

Ye Fan is very different from the students he had contact with before. He always feels that this young man can achieve something. If he can become big in the future, it will be a good deal for me to give him a small favor now.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Huafu said: "Usually, we only pay monthly settlements for companies that have long-term cooperation with us, but I believe you, then it will be monthly settlement. You will settle the last month's express fee on the 1st of the next month."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Yuan. Please give me a hundred express delivery orders and delivery bags first."

Ye Fan didn't want to talk about the price anymore. He didn't sign a contract anyway, so he would talk about it after he really has the quantity.

"Huaqiang, help me get the courier bag and the courier order. Give them to Boss Ye. Remember to identify the place."

When Yuan Huafu said "Identify the land", he deliberately emphasized his tone, and he did not avoid Ye Fan.

It was obvious that although Yuan Huafu agreed to pay the monthly salary, he still asked his younger brother to follow him to confirm whether Ye Fan was a student at the school.

Ye Fan certainly understands what the courier boss means. Although the boss Yuan Huafu is willing to buy a good one for himself, he is also cautious in doing things and is not as honest as he appears.

Sure enough, being a boss is not easy.

Yuan Huaqiang took the express delivery bag and followed Ye Fan to the school dormitory, and then said with a smile: "Boss Ye, I put it here for you. If you want to send express delivery in the future, just contact me before nine o'clock in the evening to come and collect it."

"Okay, no problem." Ye Fan smiled and then sent Yuan Huaqiang out.

After Yuan Huaqiang left, looking at the express delivery form, Ye Fan suddenly became confused.

Because there is no electronic manifest now, traditional four-way express delivery orders are handwritten or printed. Ye Fan has not bought a printer yet, so writing express delivery orders and shipping is also a slow and meticulous job.

Ye Fan suddenly thought of Lan Mengmeng. He planned to ask Lan Mengmeng to help deliver the goods if he had more orders in the future.

"Well, it can create income for her, solve my problem, and deepen our relationship. It kills three birds with one stone."
