On the first working day of the New Year, Kent arrived at the White Lotus headquarters in the suburbs early in the morning. The once crowded office building has been moved empty, and almost all departments have been merged into standard e-commerce and standard logistics, and have moved to the new building rented in the city. In the future, White Lotus will take over the investment department of the water well and become a professional investment company. In other words, Kent has worked hard for most of his life, and has been completely cancelled since the New Year.

Kent was deeply moved as he recalled the past while recalling the past inside and outside the building. When he walked to the lawn outside the building, Crete, the gardener who was mowing the lawn, greeted: "Mr. Kent!"

Crete is an old employee of White Lotus and has served the company for more than 20 years. Kent stopped: "Crit, how about you guys stay?"

"Everything is pretty good, sir." Crete smiled and paid a bonus equivalent to a twenty-week salary at the end of the year, and all the employees were very happy.

Kent asked again: "The company's new headquarters has begun. Are you interested in working there?" The rental buildings are now only temporary. Due to the scale of investment and job opportunities created by Standard Corporation, the City Council of Los Angeles has approved a coastal land, and Standard Corporation is preparing to build a group of buildings there as the new group company headquarters.

Crete seemed a little moved. However, after thinking about it, he still refused with a smile: "No, someone needs to clean it here, and I am used to it. Thank you sir!"

"That's good. White Lotus (investment company) may still work here in the future. Your income will never be lower than there." Kent promised with a smile.

"Please rest assured." Crete immediately promised, "I guarantee that the boss and your office have pots of flowers every day. Oh, and I hope Miss Maiting will become the boss's wife. Vic and I have made a 50-dollar bet."

The two laughed. Crete suddenly hesitated: "Sir, how is David doing? Didn't he cause trouble for the company?" David is Crete's son. He did not get into college after graduating from high school. With Crete's relationship, he just entered the standard logistics job.

Kent immediately smiled. He patted Crete on the shoulder: "That kid is excellent, he will definitely have a future than you."

Crete was excited: "Thank you sir. Thank you, boss, too!"

...

When Kent returned to Standard Headquarters, more than 200 community specialists from Standard Logistics in the United States had arrived. In less than two months after its establishment, Standard Logistics had invested more than 30 million US dollars and merged five logistics and warehousing centers worth more than 40 million US dollars in the original White Lotus. However, the logistics company has actually achieved profitability, although the profit is only 690,000 US dollars.

The relationship between standard e-commerce and standard logistics has been clearly divided. Now, if you buy products, you will list the express delivery fee separately in addition to the price of the product. It is not all included in ambiguously. This is actually a promotional method, encouraging customers to use limited express delivery fees and try to buy as many products as possible.

Community specialists in eleven major cities in North America are looking forward to it. Because standard logistics will be introduced into the partnership system for the first time, these specialists will be the first to choose.

Seeing Kent enter, the grand conference hall immediately became quiet. Kent's opening remarks were simple and brief: "Hello everyone! For Standard Group, you are newcomers, and I and the company's management are newcomers. But in just a few months, you can see the company's vigorous development. Our business growth last month has exceeded 160%, and this year's goal is to double the basis of last year..."

David and several other community specialists listened very seriously. In fact, they have already seen the company's partner plan. It can be said that there are risks, but there are also possible future growth potential.

Unlike other industries, the express delivery industry has always been an inconspicuous and high-profit industry. Later, SF Express in China must have known that it has researched its own express delivery robots and express delivery drones. Now, FedEx in the United States is also the largest airline in the world. Yes, you read that right, this express delivery company has the largest airline fleet in the world!

Therefore, at the beginning, several express giants such as FedEx found out that the emergence of Standard Group was the one who wanted to get the business with very favorable conditions. Then they found that Standard Group built its own logistics company, so they settled for the second best and wanted to participate in this logistics company. Of course, they were all rejected by Standard Group.

Jing Jian knew the future development. The emergence of e-commerce was also the second spring for express delivery companies. Now, some preferential conditions are not attractive at all.

However, compared with old express companies such as FedEx, the newly established standard logistics costs are amazing and the investment is huge. For example, FedEx transports a batch of goods from Los Angeles to New York. They have ready-made flights, ready-made warehousing, ready-made fleets... nothing more than the cargo box stuffed more. For standard logistics, it is necessary to rent new flights, build new warehousing, and form new fleets... This is why, the express industry is basically a winner-takes all, and the investment by the latter is really huge, so you can only watch these giants maintain a monopoly.

In order to reduce costs, under Jing Jian's suggestion, Standard Logistics simply gave up part of its interests and introduced a partnership system. Because the biggest cost of express delivery is in the "last five kilometers", that is, the link of picking up express delivery and delivering express to the door. Therefore, Standard Logistics simply gave all this part of the income to those community specialists. In a word, the more they send, the higher the income.

It was soon time to ask a question: "Mr. Kent, is it mandatory to choose to be a partner? Can you not choose?"

Obviously, standard logistics has just begun to develop, and most communities have insufficient business volume, and the commission of partners is far less than that of employees' fixed salary and bonuses. Therefore, choosing a partner is a risky thing. So far, the only thing that can barely achieve income balance is to stay in a community. For example, David's community is nearly one-third of the income. In addition, if you choose to become a partner, you will have to pay a deposit to the company. These tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars are also huge sums for ordinary employees.

Kent smiled slightly: "Of course it's not mandatory, and of course you can not choose. You can read the information in your hands. Each community has an estimate, which is calculated based on the potential of the community and the existing business volume. Yes, it's really a bit of a loss to choose a partner now. But have you ever thought about it? In fact, it's the benefits that the company encourages you?"
