Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh tuyere
While the six major mining groups held secret meetings in Chang'an, the domestic truck market was also quietly changing.
Texas Snail Industry's Snail Repair Factory.
Several large trucks came in one after another. Zhang Daxin, who specialized in vegetable transportation, had a small logistics company under his command, which specialized in the line from Shandong Province to Peiping.
After jumping out of the car, Zhang Daxin took out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged repairman who was walking over: "Master Lu, please trouble you."
"Take it back!" Lu Kang pushed it back directly, then shook his head and said, "We don't play this trick, Lao Zhang, don't harm me."
"Isn't it just a pack of cigarettes? There's nothing!" Zhang Daxin still wanted to stuff it in.
Lu Kang said angrily: "The regulations cannot be accepted. If you want to collect your cigarette, I will just roll the bed and leave tomorrow."
There are surveillance cameras everywhere inside the Suiren system, and many employees like to specialize in people's attention. There are rewards for reporting successfully.
In addition, the job treatment of the Suiren Department is very good, and there is also great competition within the company. I just accept gifts and money from customers, which is just a joke about my future.
In desperation, Zhang Daxin could only put the cigarette back into his pocket, and then said with a smile on his face: "Master Lu, all of my three trucks have been transformed into frozen container trucks."
"All refrigerated containers are renovated? No problem." Lu Kang walked around several large trucks. On the renovation list, he checked the models of solar panels and temperature differential power generation modules, and chose the container insulation layer, thermoelectric cooler, constant humidifier and general control vehicle-mounted computer.
"Old supporting facilities, one set of 56,000 yuan."
"no problem."
Suddenly, Lu Kang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that your car is a diesel engine. If it is a new gas engine, the price of this gas is much cheaper than burning diesel."
"Uh... Master Lu, I have also seen several gas vehicles, which are indeed quite good, but my company is for long-distance transportation, and there is no place to refuel along the way, so I can't use gas." Zhang Daxin spread his hands helplessly.
Lu Kang said with a smile: "My headquarters and several other partners are building gas stations and will soon open gas refueling services to ordinary users."
"Really?" Zhang Daxin showed joy.
"What do you lie to you?" Lu Kang patted the accessories list on his hand: "Half the deposit, the car will take about a week."
"OK."
After signing the contract, Zhang Daxin fell into deep thought as he looked at the truck being pulled into the renovation workshop.
As a small logistics enterprise, he has the shrewdness and ability of a small businessman and has endured hard work. There are many trucks running on the Lu Province-Beiping line. After all, as an international metropolis, Beiping itself has a vegetable and fruit production capacity and is basically transported from other places, which has given birth to logistics enterprises of all sizes.
The Sanjin Express he opened is such a small business that specializes in delivering vegetables and fruits to farmers' markets in Haidian District and Chaoyang District.
Although vegetables and fruits can go through the green channel, the transportation costs remain high. Among them, there are reasons why vegetables and fruits are prone to spoilage, and also the reasons for the recent rise in fuel prices.
Otherwise, Zhang Daxin would not have spent money and upgraded the truck.
He looked at his elder brother-in-law Zhu Hai: "Brother Hai, do you think this gas car has a future?"
Zhu Hai, who had been running a truck for more than ten years, thought about it: "Daxin, if Blue Age and Beijing Enterprises really want to build gas stations, it can indeed reduce some costs."
The two of them did some calculations and calculated that at present 2.8 yuan per kilogram of liquefied gas, they only needed about a quarter of the previous oil money.
With temperature difference power generation and solar power generation, the energy consumption cost in truck transportation costs will drop to about 5 to 10% of the previous ones.
Zhang Daxin went to ask Lu Kang about the question about transforming a gas vehicle with diesel vehicles.
Lu Kang gave three plans.
The first is to replace the engine, the price is 90,000 to 120,000; the second is to install gas auxiliary equipment on the basis of the original diesel engine, the price is about 40,000, but there is a service life limit; the third is doping, after the diesel engine is heated, gas is injected into combustion in the middle, and the renovation price is only about 20,000.
Seeing Zhang Daxin asking these questions, Lu Kang reminded: "Old Zhang, it's best to replace the engine. Don't be greedy for those small gains worth tens of thousands of yuan. There is no good product for cheap goods."
"Thank you, I will think about it."
...
Debang Logistics’ new headquarters.
After reading a report, Chairman Cui Weixing frowned. After a while, he asked Vice President Zhang Liangcai: "Liangcai, the prices of other express delivery companies have been suppressed a lot recently, and the company is under great pressure!"
Debang Logistics is currently second only to Feipeng Express in domestic private logistics, which is comparable to SF Express Logistics. Sitong and Yida have not yet developed.
Zhang Liangcai was in charge of market research and naturally knew the current domestic express delivery situation: "Yes, Chairman, except Feipeng, SF Express and Postal, Sitong and Yida are basically fighting a price war."
Since the second half of last year, with Dongfeng Motor launching a number of hybrid trucks, the transportation costs in the express delivery industry have gradually declined.
At the same time, a large number of automobile repair shops have also seen business opportunities, purchasing temperature difference power generation modules, solar panels, etc. from snails to provide upgrade and transformation services to cars.
Oil prices and highway tolls are the core factors affecting the profit margins of the logistics industry. The recent unstable situation in West Asia has led to the rise of international crude oil prices.
Fortunately, Debang Logistics has kept pace with the trend of the times, purchased large hybrid trucks, and gradually upgraded and transformed old trucks.
However, Debang Logistics has been upgraded and transformed, and other logistics companies are also upgrading and renovating. After having profit margins, in order to seize the market, Sitong and Yida took the lead in launching a price war.
Faced with the threat of Sitong and Yida, Cui Weixing was also deeply stressed: "We must find a way."
The current domestic logistics industry looks like the battle between the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but Cui Weixing understands that Postal Service and Feipeng have their own basic foundation and are basically invincible.
Especially Feipeng, which has a very high net profit, is the ultimate stitching monster in the domestic logistics industry. It has 172 logistics and warehousing bases, 31 transfer centers across the country, and has gas stations in its own system, backed by Yunchang Mall and Fengmin Agriculture.
The fuel costs in transportation costs cannot be lower, which made Cui Weixing envious.
Unless the Suiren system falls, Feipeng Express will be difficult to defeat. As for the possibility of the Suiren system fall, Cui Weixing dared not think about it. If the Suiren system falls down, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Liangcai, who was standing by, thought for a long time, suddenly remembered something: "Chairman, I have heard a rumor these days that the Blue Era seems to open gas vehicle refill service."
"Develop a gas car to refuel?" Cui Weixing's eyes flashed slightly. Based on his understanding of the Suiren Group, if the other party wants to do something, it is usually not a single fight, and it is very likely to be an alliance.
It’s like mining alliance, precision instrument alliance, semiconductor alliance, environmental protection alliance, agricultural alliance, etc., which can basically be pushed forward.
To understand the key, Cui Weixing made a quick decision: "I understand. It seems that the three major environmental protection groups are going to promote gas vehicles. Liangcai, you should immediately contact the Blue Times and test their attitudes and whether our cars will be allowed to refuel at their gas stations."
