Chapter 371 An extra dollar
And they not only want to do a big deal, but also to build a fleet of more than 60 cars, which is simply the first in the industry!
"More than 60 cars?"
Compared with Qin Sisi's passionate emotions, Xia Lin's expression is much more serious.
Qin Sisi has received a fixed source of goods and wants to build a large fleet of more than 60 cars. This should be a happy thing, but they only have 32 cars. How can they get the fleet to 60 cars? Xia Lin said that he was very troubled. The resources he had at present could not do it.
There is no way to buy so many cars at once. These days, buying and selling used cars is not like in the 21st century, where there are special used car trading markets and a lot of resources waiting for you to choose.
Those who buy and sell used cars are all in debt and can't pay back their debts, or they are forced to sell their beloved cars because they can't continue to work in the transportation industry.
Otherwise, most people buy a new car and drive it until it is scrapped.
So Xia Lin's expression became more solemn, and he threw out his doubts.
"Don't we only have 32 cars? How can we turn the fleet into a large fleet of 60 cars? This is a bit difficult, Qin Sisi!"
Even if there are not so many used cars for them to choose from, they have to raise a lot of money to buy new cars.
But the problem that Xia Lin was struggling with was not a problem for Qin Sisi at all. She just picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly. Perhaps the taste of the tea was too mellow and rich. Qin Sisi narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said nonchalantly.
"I have a way to do this!"
She had already thought of a good plan. It was no problem to set up a transportation company with more than 60 vehicles.
In short, for a business elite from the 21st century, all problems were not problems for Qin Sisi.
Xia Lin knew that Qin Sisi was capable, but she did not expect that she was so calm. While she was full of admiration, she could not help but speak out of curiosity.
"What? Can you tell me?"
Qin Sisi put down her teacup, glanced at Xia Lin, and continued slowly.
"This is simple. Tomorrow we will post a recruitment advertisement in the South City Daily!"
"Oh, a recruitment advertisement? Recruiting what? Trucks?"
"Yes, the content of this recruitment advertisement is written like this. We now have a batch of fixed resources and have signed a long-term freight contract. We need to recruit a batch of trucks and truck drivers. You need to bring your own trucks to transport goods. The quantity is unlimited. We guarantee that there will be sufficient supply of goods. The freight price is considerable. Those who are interested can come to negotiate, and then leave your address and number."
"That's it? Is it okay?"
At this point, Qin Sisi glanced at Xia Lin opposite her. Not surprisingly, she saw an expression of distrust in the other's eyes, and continued.
"The reason why I recruited those bulk transport truck drivers is because the freight resources and drivers' transportation methods are too scattered these days. We gather the drivers in this way, manage them as a group, and then charge each truck driver a management fee of 50 yuan a day to ensure that they have sufficient supply of goods, so they don't have to run around to find sources of goods and manufacturers."
Yes, most of the transportation business these days is a one-on-one fight, and the driver has to find the source of goods and then transport it himself.
Qin Sisi found the source of goods herself and listed the fixed routes, so that these drivers can save the trouble of running around. Once they join the fleet, they will have the source of goods and can directly transport goods and make money.
And only a small management fee is required, and most people will agree.
The management fee is only fifty yuan, but the fuel wasted by those drivers while driving around to find the source of goods is more than that.
Therefore, Qin Sisi's move is completely borrowed from the management model of the transportation companies in the future, sharing freight resources and waiting to collect agency fees, but the service fee is lowered.
After all, this is the 1990s, and she is the first person to try it out. She can't be too cruel. If she takes too much money from those drivers, they may not be willing to serve in their fleet, and then she will not be able to complete the task of taking on the source of goods.
Sure enough, Xia Lin is also a smart person. After Qin Sisi finished talking about her general idea, his mind quickly turned, and his thoughts followed the method Qin Sisi said. He suddenly felt that this method was simply brilliant, so he couldn't help but applaud.
"This method is good. It saves drivers time in finding sources of goods, and directly plans routes for them. They no longer have to drive a truck around every day. It is really a timely help! Moreover, each driver is only charged 50 yuan in management fees every day, which is really too cheap."
Yes, these days, the freight costs of drivers are high. Who would not be willing to pay 50 yuan, which is just the cost of a meal?
Otherwise, some people drive a truck around the city, and may not be able to find a source of goods after one or two days. That's even worse.
It would be better to pay them 50 yuan directly and start making money by transporting goods.
Oh my God! How did Qin Sisi come up with such a brilliant idea? Why didn't he think of it?
Xia Lin suddenly felt a little suspicious. All the experience and methods he had gained in the business world over the years were completely useless. Qin Sisi's little brain could handle anything easily.
Hearing Xia Lin agree with her opinion, Qin Sisi picked up the teacup, added a little tea to each other, and then slowly threw the last heavy bomb.
"Moreover, after these foreign trucks are recruited into the fleet, we will pay the freight directly on a monthly basis, at the market price."
At first, Jiang Yibai offered her more favorable conditions to let her take over this hot business, saying that as long as she could solve the bottleneck of Zhiyuan Mining's external sales and transportation, the freight for each ton of ore would be increased by one yuan according to the market price.
Qin Sisi only planned to let her own fleet earn this one yuan higher than the market price. As for other fleets that joined in, sorry, you have already made a lot of money by paying the freight at the market price every day, so don't think about the rest.
This means that the trucks recruited do not need to pay a management fee of 50 yuan per day. As long as each truck is engaged in transportation, it will continuously bring extra income to Qin Sisi.
One ton of ore costs one yuan, and a truck can at least carry 40 to 50 tons of ore. The extra one yuan per ton of ore will go into your pocket for nothing.
