Chapter 329 The first batch of ceramics
It was already mid-November that the first batch of nearly a thousand ceramic waist plates were shipped to Shanghai. One thousand large waist plates, calculated in 48 boxes, is actually just just twenty boxes.
Because of the small quantity, the logistics company is unwilling to deliver goods to the door. If it has to be delivered separately, it will require a high price. Wang Yiyuan thinks it is not cost-effective, so he picked up the goods in the northern parking lot himself.
The northern parking lot located on Zhennan Road, Putuo District is the northern gate of Shanghai's highway transportation, and is also the earliest parking lot in Shanghai and the birthplace of Shanghai's logistics industry. After more than ten years of development and construction, it has become a landmark gathering place for vehicles from all over the country in Shanghai.
There are actually only a few large long-distance car parking lots in Shanghai, and there are only one of them. Northern parking lots are one of them. Generally, trucks coming from the north and goods consigned from the north gather here.
When Wang Yiyuan and his truck arrived at the northern parking lot, they were completely stunned. They saw a huge parking lot that was beyond the edge, with different logistics companies everywhere, so dazzled that they could not find the roads and directions from east, west, south and north.
He quickly contacted the logistics company, and the other party instructed him on the phone, but finally found the logistics company that checked them out.
These twenty boxes of goods have been unloaded from the truck and piled up in a corner of the logistics company's courtyard. Because it was on-duty, Wang Yiyuan had to pay the money before picking up the goods. When he looked at the documents, he said it was 355 yuan.
Wang Yiyuan asked the girl who opened the receipt, and it was just a little bit of goods, and it was almost 18 yuan per box. Why did you want so many money and it was so expensive?
While sorting out the banknotes, the little girl smiled and said, "Boss, you are expensive because you have fewer goods. The more you ship, the cheaper the price. This is our regular logistics practice. You only have twenty boxes of goods this time, and you don't need much money for you."
After paying the money, the driver was moving the goods to the car. Wang Yiyuan called him and said, "Wait for a while, let's check the damage to the transportation before moving."
The cartons were not very heavy, probably less than 30 kilograms per box. Wang Yiyuan held the carton with both hands and shook it gently a few times. Judging from the sound coming from the carton, it should not be damaged.
Wang Yiyuan was a little worried about the quality of these ceramics. He randomly opened two boxes of each, took out several large and small waist plates from it, and compared them with the samples he brought with him one by one.
After carefully looking back and forth several times, Wang Yiyuan did not find any obvious differences or flaws. Then he felt that this batch of goods should have no quality problems. A heart that was always hanging was truly implemented at this time.
When the driver continued to carry it to his truck, a middle-aged man with a hat on his head and a towel around his neck came over and asked in authentic Tangshan dialect, "Boss, is this your goods?"
The driver said to Wang Yiyuan and said with a smile, "I'm not the boss, the person who squatted there and sealed the box with tape is."
The middle-aged man walked towards Wang Yiyuan again. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Wang Yiyuan, and said with a smile, "Boss, are you loading up, take a rest and smoke a cigarette?"
Wang Yiyuan looked up and saw that he didn't know him, so he smiled casually and said, "I'm going to take back the goods sent by Tangshan just now. I won't smoke, thank you."
The middle-aged man looked around, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yiyuan, and said, "I'm the driver who specializes in the line from Tangshan to Shanghai. I've brought you this ticket to you. If you ship the goods in the future, you can contact us directly, and the price will be much cheaper."
Only then did Wang Yiyuan realize that he might have encountered a driver who wanted to get a private job, so he contacted him secretly. He put away his business card and said to the middle-aged man, "Okay, we will contact you next time."
Wang Yiyuan asked him, I would like to ask, how do you usually deal with this transportation damage?
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, our trucks are from Tangshan to Shanghai, without pulling goods in the middle, and the whole journey is highway. We have the most ceramics. As long as they are packed, there will be basically no damage."
He said, too, if you have large quantities, we can pick up and deliver the goods directly to your door.
Wang Yiyuan asked, how much is it?
The middle-aged man said, let’s do this, just like your packaging, it’s enough to reach more than 200 boxes.
In the afternoon, Mr. Liu also came to his warehouse in the printing factory. After seeing the ceramics shipped by Wang Yiyuan and others, he smiled and said, the ceramics made this time are of good quality and packaging, but this production time, don’t you think it’s too long?
Wang Yiyuan laughed and said, Mr. Liu, this is the first batch, because we were not familiar with it before, which caused it to be so slow. Now that the various production procedures of the waist plate have been opened, the subsequent production should be much faster.
Liu Min also echoed, Mr. Liu, should we distinguish the ceramics we made from your original inventory, or have special marks when shipping them?
Mr. Liu thought for a while and said, "No, the outer packaging is exactly the same anyway, so let's send it out in a mixed manner. There are only 20 boxes of goods in total, which is not enough for one delivery."
Liu Min smiled and said that it is indeed far from enough. Nowadays, the waist plates are basically the main varieties of ceramic shipments, and the number of waist plates of large and small is at least fifty boxes per each time.
Wang Yiyuan asked, Mr. Liu, should we produce more?
Mr. Liu asked back, how far have you built a factory in Tangshan?
To be honest, Wang Yiyuan probably can confirm it before the New Year. Now he has a general direction and is under screening.
Mr. Liu said that after the New Year, it will be March, so you must hurry up. You must hurry up the quality and time, time will not wait for anyone.
Wang Yiyuan said, Mr. Liu, do you think this is OK? Let’s start with a few large-scale products, come one by one, slowly penetrate all of them, and finally take over all your varieties.
Mr. Liu laughed and said, "You little devil, are you very smart. You know that from easy to difficult, it is easy for factories to arrange production. But your idea is right. You should proceed step by step and don't be too impatient. If you are anxious to eat hot tofu, you will choke."
He said, let's do this, you can make two more varieties, coffee cups and coffee saucers are the same, and add a small five-inch flat plate and try it out. How about it, are you sure?
Wang Yiyuan hurriedly expressed his gratitude again and again. He asked, "Do you have to do more waist plates before? Shanghai Fenghua has the fastest update speed.
