Chapter 523: Add some more oil
Mo Siyuan felt a little scalp-tingling when he saw Guan Xiong's desperate look. He knew about the price war started by Jitu Express, but he had always had a bad relationship with Su Yang and it was impossible for him to call Su Yang.
Now Guan Xiong's attitude is so determined that he insists on fighting a price war and wants to fight it to the end. It seems that it has nothing to do with China Port Logistics.
But in fact, countless customers turn to China Port Logistics every day, and that’s all hard-earned money!
"Boss Guan, if you keep fighting like this, both of you will get hurt!"
"Dexin Logistics is a 20-year-old logistics company!"
"It can't be destroyed in your hands!"
Guan Xiong sneered, "Mo Siyuan, bullshit, did I want to hit you? Why didn't you go and persuade Su Yang? He was the one who started the trouble. If it wasn't for him, would I have to give such a drastic discount and compete with you for customers?"
"Stop pretending to be sympathetic. When you ask Su Yang to stop expanding, I will restore the original price!"
Mo Siyuan also realized that Guan Xiong had tasted the sweetness and was determined to give him a discount.
He really couldn't understand why Guan Xiong's temperament suddenly changed. If he had always been this competitive character, Huagang Logistics would not have been his first listed logistics company in Dongjiang Province.
But what Mo Siyuan didn't know was that after losing the purse of Ghost Market, Guan Xiongxin was in a state of confusion. At this time, the business of Dexin Logistics in his hands was on the rise, so of course he wanted to hold on to it like a life-saving straw.
"Mr. Guan, don't forget that you still have shares in Huatong Express!"
"If you don't follow the rules and start lowering prices, Huatong Express's revenue will also decrease!"
"Aren't you ruining yourself?"
Guan Xiong was not polite at all and started to scold directly: "Mo Siyuan, don't talk to me about Huatong Express. My daughter Guan Shanshan is doing well in Jiangcheng City, but you are not satisfied with her and squeezed her out of Huatong Express!"
"I am the second largest shareholder of Huatong Express in name, but can I have any say in the affairs of Huatong Express?"
"It's said that we are all working together for mutual benefit, but now Huatong Express is almost becoming a money bag in your hands, Mo Siyuan. After helping you seize the express delivery business in Dongjiang Province, are you going to kick us shareholders out?"
"I'm telling you, you don't have to kick me, I can walk by myself!"
"You find a way to raise funds. I will sell you my shares in Huatong Express in one go. The added value will not count. You just need to return the 60 million I invested!"
"With these 60 million, I can get a few more customers back!"
"Save you the trouble of nagging here!"
After saying that, Guan Xiong hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Mo Siyuan, who was sitting in the office and listening to the voice disappearing, was shaking with anger. This damn Guan Xiong, was he really going to break off relations with the entire Dongjiang Province logistics industry?
But they just can't do anything about this 40% discount policy!
In terms of scale, China Port Logistics may be better, but in terms of cash flow, the two China Port Logistics cannot compete with Dexin Logistics.
Mo Siyuan was so angry that he threw his phone on the table. He locked his eyes and clenched his fists.
He couldn't figure out why Jitu Express was engaging in a price war with Dexin Logistics. Su Yang was a poor student with no foundation and even Si Xuezhong didn't like him. Yet he had to use his own weakness to attack Dexin Logistics' strength!
How can Su Yang continue to fight against Dexin Logistics, which even Huagang Logistics cannot necessarily defeat?
But even so, he was still hesitating whether to join these two crazy companies, Dexin Logistics and Jitu Express!
After sitting in the office for a long while, Mo Siyuan sighed.
China Port Logistics cannot engage in this price war. Once it starts, it will inevitably offend China Port Logistics' existing customers, and a considerable number of customers will voluntarily breach the contract.
Although there are now many unstable customers who have been snatched away by Dexin Logistics and Jitu Express, at least China Port Logistics can still maintain profitability!
For Huagang Logistics, seeking stability is the most important thing now. The best option for him to enter the market is to wait until Jitu Express and Dexin Logistics decide the winner!
……
Another week passed.
During these seven days, Su Yang had been staying in the branch company in Chuncheng City, staring at a map in a daze every day. This was a city map of Chuncheng City, which was densely covered with many red and blue circles.
The red ones naturally represent the stations and transfer stations of Jitu Express. In just fourteen days, Jitu Express has expanded to ninety-five stations in Chuncheng City like a swarm of locusts, and is currently climbing at a rate of two stations per day.
The blue circle represents the logistics stations of Dexin Logistics. There are more than one hundred logistics stations in this area. In about two weeks, they will be surpassed by Jitu Express.
Although Jitu Express had already spent tens of millions of cash on its account, Si Xuezhong abided by the agreement and transferred the subsequent 150 million in cash to the Jitu Express account.
Only Su Yang knew that the real time of burning money had just begun!
Outside the door, Corning was holding a report. He walked into Su Yang's office and saw Su Yang staring at the map in a daze. He then went out and knocked on the door.
Su Yang turned around and glanced at him.
"How's the situation?"
Kang Ning took a deep breath, his face even flushed with excitement: "Just as Mr. Su expected, according to our statistics over the past half month, Dexin Logistics has already spent more than 60 million yuan, conservatively estimated!"
"But their order volume and customer volume are also skyrocketing..."
"Looking at the entire Chuncheng City, except for Dexin Logistics and Yiwangtong Logistics, other logistics and express delivery companies basically don't have much new business."
"Several companies, including China-Hong Kong Logistics, are relying on old customers to survive."
Su Yang clapped his hands, good, very good. In fifteen days, Guan Xiong thought he had captured most of the market in Chuncheng City, but he did not realize that he had quietly burned nearly 60 million yuan of funds.
"What's the situation here?"
Su Yang looked at Kang Ning.
Kang Ning said quickly: "Our situation is similar, but the major expenses are mainly due to the installation of sites and staff salaries. As for the business subsidy losses, the total cost is less than five million."
"Just as Mr. Su guessed, most of the customers have turned to Dexin Logistics!"
"On our side, all the orders that we had originally agreed to with several large factories have fallen through."
Corning thought about it and felt it was a bit of a pity. If this business was successful, it would be a stable business with hundreds of thousands of dollars in income every month.
Su Yang smiled and said, "It's a failure. It took Dexin Logistics 60 million yuan in 15 days. Although it sounds like a lot, it's still too slow!"
"Let's add more fuel to the fire..."
Corning stood up straight immediately.
Su Yang said: "Notify all stations in Chuncheng City to continue to reduce prices from 30% off to 40% off!"
"This time, I want to see whether Guan Xiong will follow or not!"
