Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Zheng Shengyu asked, waving his hand and getting straight to the point.

”A technical service fee of one fen per waybill,” Liao Wei replied instantly, his smile gone.

Don’t underestimate that one fen. The estimated express delivery volume for 2012 was over 8 billion packages, which would add up to over 80 million Hua Yuan.

In a little over a decade, that number was projected to hit 200 billion items, which would mean a net profit of 2 billion Hua Yuan a year.

The technology itself was minor, but when scaled to a market of 1.4 billion people, it could still generate a substantial return.

’One fen?’

Zheng Shengyu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what was happening. Cloud Speed’s goal was to push its electronic waybill technology across the entire nation’s logistics industry.

”Done.”

After a moment of thought, Zheng Shengyu nodded and readily agreed to Liao Wei’s proposal.

’He couldn’t have all the private logistics companies using electronic waybills while his own Postal Service employees were still stuck with the old paper ones, could he?’

’Over saving a single fen, the hundred thousand postal couriers across the country would curse him into an early grave!’

”Chairman Zheng, actually, I had another reason for coming to Yanjing...” Liao Wei added, seeing that Zheng Shengyu was on board.

「At the same time.」

The Yunsu Express Station at the Yiwu Trade City was already using electronic waybills, and its efficiency had skyrocketed several dozen times over.

Liao Wei’s act of seeking Zheng Shengyu’s approval was merely a formality. Private logistics companies didn’t actually need the Postal Association’s permission to choose their own waybills.

Packages were piled mountain-high inside the station. The Yiwu region had a massive volume of package pickups, and the number of deliveries was equally staggering.

Lu Hua zipped down Futian Road on an Electric Vehicle laden with packages.

Six months ago, he had been a temporary worker for Yuantong Express. Now, he was a full-time employee of Cloud Speed Express.

His base salary was 3,000 Hua Yuan. On top of commissions for pickups and deliveries, he received benefits like overtime pay, a housing allowance, a full social insurance and housing fund package, and quarterly bonuses. He could easily take home over 10,000 a month.

There were over 4,000 Cloud Speed Couriers like him in Yiwu alone, a testament to the sheer volume of business in the region.
