Chapter 3: If you want to build a market, you must have a smooth logistics

Although Fan Heng wants to achieve the ideological unity of everyone's understanding of the work of building a market as soon as possible, this time period is really not good. It is only a few days before the New Year, and the work done by various bureaus has basically come to a standstill. It is indeed not easy to do this thing well at this time.

If you want to do big things, the choice of time is also very important. For example, at this stage, if you insist on pushing something, it will be difficult to avoid affecting everyone's preparations for the New Year. In this way, everyone will inevitably have resentment in their stomachs. If they have resentment, they will naturally have to vent. The best way to vent is of course to block the progress of this work.

Therefore, even if a person like Deng Gong is promoting a major policy, he needs to observe and understand first, build momentum among the people, and when it comes to a natural outcome, then unveil the new policy, and everything will be perfect.

This is the reason for implementing joint contracting by borrowing the influence of Xiaogang Village's solo work incident. Now, the same is true for accelerating the reform process by taking advantage of the eastern wind of the southern tour.

Fan Heng knew this very well, so he raised this question at the office meeting, just a greeting, and did not expect to get things done within the next few days before the New Year. This would only lead to a dead birth and a lack of ability.

In fact, the development plan that Fan Wubing gave to Fan Heng was not just a construction strategy for one or two markets, but built the entire Panshi City into a large comprehensive trade zone. This not only included the clothing wholesale market, clothing wholesale market that was originally planned to be built, but also the home appliances and small commodity wholesale markets and fruit and vegetable wholesale markets.

Overall, Fan Wubing wants to build all the space that can be used in Panshi City into a market.

The most important point is Fan Wubing’s proposal to build a large logistics company in Panshi City, which made Fan Heng feel very promising.

Logistics refers to the entire process of planning, implementation and management of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and related information from the origin of the goods to the consumption place of the goods at the lowest cost to meet the needs of customers.

Logistics management refers to the application of basic principles and scientific methods of management in the process of social reproduction, in accordance with the laws of material entity flow, the application of the basic principles and scientific methods of management, so that various logistics activities can achieve the best coordination and cooperation, so as to reduce logistics costs, improve logistics efficiency and economic benefits. Modern logistics management is based on systems theory, information theory and cybernetics.

It is undeniable that the current situation in China is not lack of production initiative. The biggest obstacle is logistics and transportation. There are two reasons for this situation. One is the poor road conditions and insufficient railway capacity, and the other is the lack of formal logistics companies to carry out all-round transportation.

There is a lack of logistics companies in China, which is probably limited by the system, but it is also related to the geographical environment. China's terrain is too complex. A considerable number of regions still rely on horse gangs and livestock as transportation capacity. In order to solve this problem, a small but complete development strategy was established as early as the beginning of the founding of the country. Therefore, each region basically has its own relatively complete system, just like the small vassal states under the great dynasty. As the saying goes, sparrows are small and complete.

The advantage of this is that local governments can basically solve most of the necessities used in daily life. However, at this time, society has developed rapidly, product types are diversified, and many products are no longer produced in ordinary cities and cities. This has led to regional differences in the domestic situation of underdeveloped logistics.

Therefore, between the early 1980s and the mid-to-late 1990s, practitioners who worked in the logistics (or formerly called speculative) industry could easily get rich returns.

But in this way, a problem arises: logistics itself does not create new value, but earns far more profits than industries that create value. It will inevitably be criticized and envious. There was a time when the second-hand dealers were caught, they had to be severely punished.

However, in modern society, circulation is an indispensable link in economic activities. The current situation in China is not that circulation disrupts the economy, but that poor circulation cannot meet the speed of economic development.

Seeing this situation, Fan Wubing certainly wanted to establish a huge logistics empire. This would not only make huge profits, but also fill his own pockets, while greatly promoting domestic economic development, trying to balance regional economic differences caused by inconvenient transportation, or to put it more high-sounding, which would make great contributions to common prosperity.

Benefiting oneself and others, how should you not do such a thing?

When Fan Heng was having lunch, he talked about this with his son. Although he felt that there was great potential, he was a little worried. After all, municipal investment could not meet all needs. Just building a market would cost a lot of money. Fortunately, Fan Wubing gave a plan for the prospectus. If it succeeded, this problem would be solved smoothly. However, the amount of funds needed to establish a logistics company may be even greater. Fan Heng did not have the confidence to talk about the rest of the city and promised that the city would establish a logistics company.

Once this construction is completed, it will be a mouth full of food in the future! The current municipal institutions in Panshi City will appear a little bloated. If they expand again, they will not find a good way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Sooner or later, they will be embarrassed that they will not be able to pay wages again.

"About this logistics company, I didn't plan to let the municipal government do it." Fan Wubing smiled and picked up a piece of stewed beef for his father Fan Heng, and then said, "If the market wants to prosper, transportation must keep up. Cities like Panshi have a wide radiation range and affect many counties and cities. However, while we have the advantage, we must also see one thing, that is, there are two prefecture-level cities with the same advantages as us, one in the south and one in the north. If we want to attract business owners to Panshi, we must have a place that is better than others, and a smooth and convenient logistics environment is the most important condition!"

"Why do you say that?" Fan Heng chewed the roast beef that his son picked up and listened seriously.

It is difficult for people who have no practical experience to imagine the role of the logistics industry in promoting market prosperity. Although Fan Heng has conducted research on the economic development of many places, he has never seriously considered the logistics aspect. Of course, this is also because of an inertial thinking that everyone basically relies on the transportation capacity provided by the state, but ignores that private transportation capacity is the most rapidly developing main force in market transportation.

The transportation conditions in mainland cities vary greatly. Although Panshi is better here, it has many state-owned motor transport companies, but the vehicles are old and the maintenance costs are relatively high. In addition, everyone is paid for their own wages, so they naturally have no enthusiasm for work. Unless it is the work explained by the above, who would be willing to do additional work? If a private person wants to use the resources of state-owned companies to carry out freight, he usually has to rely on the back door to achieve his goal.

This will also lead to the consequences of extremely high freight. For example, if you pull a truck of goods from 500 kilometers away, the freight is likely to be much higher than the value of the goods. This will cause a vicious cycle. Drivers are unwilling to pick up goods, customers will lack the enthusiasm for business, logistics will be poor, the economy will stagnate, local fiscal revenue will be miserable, wage levels will be low, and drivers will be even more reluctant to pick up goods.

In fact, many things in China make the same sense. To put it bluntly, someone must stand up and compete with state-owned enterprises. Otherwise, if this continues, everyone will have no way out.

"And there is another point," Fan Wubing then said to his father Fan Heng, "In the past, we were used to waiting for the buyer to come after the store opened. Now it is no longer suitable. If you want to make your business bigger and stronger, you must go out and open up your wealth! In the past, customers bought goods at home and then found a way to take them back by themselves. Now we have to find ways to deliver the goods needed by customers to the door. This is an important reason why modern logistics can develop!"

"In this way, it seems that our status is very low--" Fan Heng asked hesitated.

It would be shameful to sell goods to others. Now we have to deliver goods to our doorsteps. It is really a coolie. When Fan Heng heard his son say this, he suddenly felt that the prospects of this market did not seem very good.

Is there anyone willing to do such a humble and busy work all day long? Fan Heng is a little doubtful that his decision has been made wrong? Some of the things his son said are also questionable!

"This is the essence of business!" Fan Wubing said with certainty, "Business is the service industry! If you want to make money, you appear to be a grandson! The better the grandson pretends, the happier the parents will be, and the more New Year's money you will give you! Therefore, as long as you serve your family, it will be difficult not to get rich!"

Fan Heng shrugged and said, "I think if this kind of logistics company is formed by the municipal government, it will definitely not be effective and may have a counterproductive effect."

"So, I want to start this logistics company by myself. No one knows better what should be done than me!" Fan Wubing did not hide his thoughts at all and said to his father, "This investment is relatively large and ordinary people can't afford it, so I took on this matter! As for the investment, dad, you don't need to worry. I will naturally make you do this big thing very easily!"

"If you have any ideas, let me tell you first?" Fan Heng was very interested in his son's thoughts and couldn't help asking.

"You will know in two days, but now it will be boring if you say it." Fan Wubing picked up the white porridge and started drinking it, but he was reluctant to disclose any details.

"You father and son always like to talk about work while eating. This is not good, very bad. The company's affairs must be discussed at the company. The home is a place to rest. This is not allowed in the future." Mother Zhang Mei protested unhappily.

As Fan Heng gradually took root on the rock, things were getting more and more, so Zhang Mei had more and more worries. Although she often had to take her own affairs home to deal with, seeing that Fan Heng was still busy, of course she would not have any good face.

Fan Wubing immediately felt something when he heard this and said to his parents with a smile, "My mother's words are very reasonable. In fact, you are leaders, you don't have to die of exhaustion at work like Jiao Yulu to be considered good cadres. The times are different now. What the country needs is leading cadres who can lead the people to become rich and prosperous. The kind that he has exhausted himself can no longer keep pace with the times. This kind of cadre spirit is commendable, but it also shows that he cannot appoint talents. In terms of leadership literacy, he is unqualified."

"Your words seem to be a fallacy, but it sounds like that." Fan Heng was a little confused by Fan Wubing's words, so he asked, "Then what kind of cadre is considered a good cadre?"

"Good cadre? This standard is difficult to grasp--" Fan Wubing said after pondering for a while, "Basically, I think good cadres are third-fast cadres!"

What are the three fast cadres?! Fan Heng and Zhang Mei were both a little curious.

Fan Wubing began to criticize with his fingers, "The so-called three fast means that promotion is fast, economic growth in the jurisdiction is fast, and people's lives improve quickly. If you can do these three things, you will be considered a good cadre."

"I can understand the two things that come next, but the promotion is fast, this-" Fan Heng shook his head, not saying anything.

"This is also very important!" Fan Wubing said as he followed his father's words, "Only you can promote quickly can prove that you can unite the majority of people, have a high IQ and EQ, and take into account the overall situation. Otherwise, how could you use the power in your hands to seek benefits for the majority of people?"

Fan Heng was speechless after hearing this. After Fan Wubing's explanation, he felt that this was reasonable. As the saying goes, taking the world as his responsibility, taking it as his own, being poor will be safe, and helping the world with prosperity will be helpful. Successful leading cadres must of course work hard to make progress and serve as public servants to seek benefits for more people.

But when the words came out of Fan Wubing's mouth, why did he feel a little bit unpleasant?

"You can't just be fast but not slow, right? That won't be a big leap forward, it's easy to have problems." Zhang Mei was watching TV next to her. When she heard the conversation between father and son, she interjected casually.

Fan Wubing immediately agreed, "What my mother said is so true, so there are still two unhappiness!"

"Don't bother? Could it be that you really have this theory, and you didn't make it up casually?" Zhang Mei said in surprise.

Fan Wubing's old face turned red. In front of his parents, he was embarrassed to speak nonsense and said, "In fact, it's just a summary. The two are not fast. First, the growth rate of deposits in the family should not be too fast, and the second is that the speed of changing wives should not be too fast. While doing a good job, being able to stick to these two points is almost the same as the standards of the saint."

After hearing this, Zhang Mei immediately expressed support, "These two summaries are well summarized, so your father must listen to them every day."

Fan Wubing immediately laughed and thought to himself that his father is still quite upright, otherwise he would not have diverted his secretary Lin Xiaotong's attention.

Suddenly I thought of Lin Xiaotong, and Fan Wubing's feelings were still a bit indescribable. That girl is really a natural goblin! If you don't want to get into trouble, it's better to hide away a little further.

"But it's the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Shouldn't Fan Ting and Fan Kang come back together? They shouldn't be too busy, right?" Zhang Mei was still thinking about the eldest and second brothers in her heart, and couldn't help asking.

"Fan Ting is busy with business, Fan Kang--ah--who knows what he is doing now--" When talking about this, Fan Heng's brows frowned.

Zhang Mei muttered, "Are we all busy? How can we be children? We don't go home to see our parents during the Chinese New Year? What's more, they haven't even started a family or a career."

Fan Heng thought to himself, although they did not start a family and start a business, it was almost the same! Fan Ting's big company is there, and it is not called a career? Fan Kang is always with his girlfriend, and there is no difference between starting a family! Alas, what's this called?!

After hearing what his parents said, Fan Wubing really realized that his sister and brother should come back for the New Year, so he said to his parents, "I'll tell them about this, isn't it just wealth and beauty? What can't be left behind?"

Fan Heng and Zhang Mei nodded after hearing this, thinking that the third brother was more filial, and they couldn't help but smile slightly, looking very comforted.

When I was sleeping at night, Fan Wubing tossed and turned around and thought, my parents seemed to be in a bad mood tonight. Could it be that they were a little dissatisfied with their sister and brother? It shouldn't be true!

Could it be that it is a major event in marriage? Fan Wubing suddenly thought of the greatest possibility.
