I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Whether they were young or grown up and entered society, they did not expect to rely on the extended family for food, and most of them were only children. They were the only darlings of the small family, so why would they want to be bullied by their relatives? ]

[It's similar to: "My mother doesn't complain about my low salary, why are you pointing fingers?" ]

[Three generations grew up in completely different environments, and their understanding of family affection is also completely different, so the contradictions will be more prominent. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded.

This is indeed the case.

……

[Many elders will think that blood is all about family affection because of their inertia of thinking. As long as the DNA is similar, the relationship should be close. They naturally cannot understand why young people want to break off their relationship. ]

[Of course, for young people, the most unnecessary thing may be the understanding of these relatives. ]

[After all, they have cut off contact. What do the relatives think? What do they say? They don't need to know. 】

[As for the lack of family affection, don't worry. Young people have found new family members in their own world to fill it. Whoever resonates with them and can provide emotional value is their family. 】

[The first sentence of a post complaining about relatives may be: Family members, who understands? 】

……

Watch the whole video.

Different ancient people in different dynasties had different feelings and views.

Some ancient people were angry about the collective "breaking off relatives" phenomenon of young people in later generations.

They thought it was treasonous and cold-blooded.

Some ancient people also did not approve of this "breaking off relatives" phenomenon, but their attitude was relatively mild.

They felt that no matter what, they were all people with blood ties, and blood was thicker than water.

Although there were many problems and practical interests, it was still too much to directly "break off relatives".

Of course.

Not all ancient people disagreed.

After understanding the whole story, some ancient people felt that this kind of "breaking off relations" phenomenon was understandable.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video refreshed.

A new video appeared.

[From an annual loss of 17.9 billion to a profit of more than 77 billion! How did Longguo Post counterattack? 】

……

Seeing this line of big words on the giant screen in the sky, many ancient people from all dynasties instantly became very interested in the content of the following video.

From a huge loss of 17.9 billion to a huge profit of 77 billion, this sounds like a very legendary story.

Naturally, many ancient people wanted to listen to this story.

Especially many businessmen from all dynasties stared at the giant screen in the sky.

They hoped to learn some money-making experience from the counterattack of Longguo Post.

……

[Postal rights, as an important component of a country's sovereignty, are essential for every country.. 】

[The history of Huaxia Post can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,600 years ago. 】

[At that time, in order to achieve information exchange between people, the ancients adopted methods such as wind transmission and fire transmission, but all these methods had some limitations. 】

[After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he established a wild goose transmission mechanism across the country, which is considered to be the earliest origin of Huaxia Post. 】

[And the protagonist of our video today is the contemporary carrier of Huaxia Post: Longguo Post Group Co., Ltd., referred to as Longguo Post, which is a wholly-owned company wholly owned by the state. 】

……

After reading this preface.

Many ancient people in the dynasties roughly corresponded to what Longguo Post did.

Similar to the "post office" in ancient China.

The so-called "post office" is the general name of the official communication agency in ancient China, and its main responsibility is to deliver documents and letters to various agencies.

Of course, "post office" has different names in different dynasties, such as "chuan", "ju", "you", "zhi", "yi", "zhan", etc.

But the responsibilities and functions are similar.

……

[If you often use express delivery services, your impression of Longguo Post may be: slow speed, poor service, high price, unable to keep up with the pace of the times, etc. ]

……

Seeing this sentence.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were a little shocked.

These are not good comments.

It seems that the people of Longguo in later generations have many complaints about Longguo Post.

……

[At the same time. ]

[You may also wonder, Longguo Post is so bad, why hasn't it been defeated by other express companies or even closed down? ]

[What advantages does Longguo Post have that can survive in the fierce market competition? 】

[In fact, Longguo Post is not as difficult as you think, but also very good. 】

[In 2021, Longguo Post's revenue exceeded 700 billion yuan, and its profit exceeded 77 billion yuan, ranking 74th in the world's top 500, leaving Longguo Electric Power, Longguo Telecom and others behind. 】

[And, among the global postal companies, although Longguo Post's revenue is second only to Japan Post, its profit has been firmly in first place for four consecutive years. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Wow! This is the first time I've heard of it! Is Longguo Post so powerful?"

"This is really unexpected! I didn't know Longguo Post was so strong!"

"..."

Many businessmen in the past dynasties were full of doubts at this time.

If the evaluations of Longguo Post by later generations are true, how did Longguo Post make so much money?

In their minds, according to common sense, the better the reputation of a business, the better the business.

I have never heard of a business with such a bad reputation being able to do well and grow big.

"What's going on?"

With doubts, the businessmen continued to look at the giant screen in the sky.

……

[Seeing this, everyone must want to ask, how can Longguo Post, which is scolded every time, make so much money? ]

[Here we need to distinguish a concept, Longguo Post Group is not equal to postal express. ]

[The express delivery business is not only unprofitable, but also the least profitable one in Longguo Post Group. ]

[In this big family, there are books and newspapers, stamp issuance business, mailing business, logistics business, express delivery business, etc., as well as financial business such as Postal Savings Bank. ]

[Each business is independent. ]

[Among them, the most profitable is Postal Savings Bank, which we will talk about later. ]

[Let me first focus on the least profitable and most disliked postal express. ]

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The business structure of Longguo Postal Group appeared on the giant screen in the sky.

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this structure and roughly understood what was going on.

It was like a big business with many shops doing different things, some making money and some losing money.

"In that case, why not just close the shop that is losing money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had such a question in his mind.

It was not only Zhu Yuanzhang who thought so.

In many dynasties, many ancient people also thought so.

Since the postal express business is not profitable and is despised by people, why do it?

It is better to close this business and use the money to do other profitable businesses.

At this time.

The video content on the giant screen in the sky continued.

And the following content just answered their questions.

……

[First of all, it is necessary to make it clear that the reason why postal express loses money is not because of slow delivery and poor business. This is actually the result. ]

[The reason why postal express loses money is precisely because of good business and too many deliveries. ]

……

“?”

Many ancient people in the past dynasties expressed confusion.

The better the business, the more money it loses? (To read the exciting novel, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

Why is this?

It is unreasonable to do business at a loss.

……

[According to Article 55 of my country's Postal Law, "express delivery companies shall not operate letter delivery business exclusively operated by postal companies, and shall not deliver official documents of state organs." ]

[Therefore, the delivery of government documents, the delivery of invoices, the delivery of party, government and military organizations, court summonses, university admission letters, and even the dismissal letters of express company employees must be delivered through Longguo Post's EMS. 】[]

[This seems to be a policy advantage, the state has forced a stable job on us. 】

[However, the profit statement of postal express shows the exact opposite. 】

【The reason is that our country is really too big. 】

【Let's take a set of numbers to calculate. Those who have put stamps on letters or sent stamps when they were young, do you remember the face value of those stamps? This is the total postage you have to pay for sending a letter. 】

【In 1997, the average investment cost of a letter was 1 yuan and 10 cents per cent, but only a 50-cent stamp was needed. 】

【In 1998, the cost of delivering a letter to farmers and herdsmen in the Nagqu area of ​​Tubo was as high as 45 yuan and 89 cents, but the post office still only charged 80 cents for postage. 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were stunned in an instant.

They were shocked by two points.

First, as a state-owned institution, Longguo Post actually delivered letters for ordinary people!

You should know that in ancient Chinese dynasties, postal institutions were government-run institutions that could only deliver official documents and were prohibited from delivering private letters.

For ordinary people to exchange letters, they could only ask someone who was passing by to deliver them privately.

This method was very inconvenient and uncontrollable.

Until the Ming Dynasty, there was an extremely urgent need for correspondence in a remote area, so a private postal institution called "Maxiangyue" was born there, which was responsible for delivering letters and parcels for the people, and sometimes also delivered goods.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, in Ningbo, where industry and commerce were developed, a professional private postal institution named "Minxin Bureau" appeared for the first time.

The business scope of the Minxin Bureau was very wide, ranging from letters to goods and commodities.

Of course.

This kind of private postal institution, in terms of coverage, naturally could not be compared with the postal institutions of the court.

Under this background, many ancient people from all dynasties were naturally shocked that Longguo Post would deliver letters for ordinary people.

"It's too convenient to have the imperial post to help deliver letters!"

Besides being shocked, many ancient people from all dynasties were deeply envious.

If only the post of their respective dynasties could also deliver letters to them.

Especially, the fees charged by Longguo Post for delivering letters to the people were so cheap!

The cost of delivering letters was 45.89 yuan, but Longguo Post only charged 80 cents for postage, which was almost free!

No wonder Longguo Post would lose money.

How could it not lose money if it did business like this?

"Why did Longguo Post do business like this? Why would it lose money to deliver?"

Many ancient people from all dynasties were puzzled.

……

[In the vast country of Long with complex geographical environment, more than 94% of the land is rural, with inconvenient transportation and sparse population. There are many places where you lose money for every letter you deliver. ]

[Private express delivery companies that are responsible for their own profits and losses are definitely unwilling to do such business. ]

[For example, it is well known that there is an extra charge for remote areas. ]

[Enterprises must first ensure profitabilityThere is nothing wrong with profit. 】

【However, as a state-owned enterprise, one of the main purposes of Longguo Post is to ensure national communication security and the communication rights of citizens and serve the people. 】

【Delivering mail thousands of miles is the lifeline of the country. 】

【It is the responsibility of Longguo Post to deliver documents safely, and it is an obligation. 】

【So as long as someone sends it, even if it takes ten days or half a month to cross the snow-capped mountains by driving a donkey cart or rowing a small boat, the post will definitely deliver it, and it will not charge extra. 】

【For example, Wang Shunyou, a postman from Longguo Post in Liangshan Prefecture, walked through knee-deep mud, crossed fierce mountain torrents, and risked being hit by flying rocks. He walked more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads and delivered a university admission letter to a candidate in a once-in-a-century flood. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Longguo Post Office on this point."

"The People's Post Office is for the people. In China, wherever there are people, there is Longguo Post Office. As long as you send the letter, Longguo Post Office will definitely help you send it to the place."

"Reply - Indeed, there are too many outlets such as desert post offices, Mount Everest post offices, archipelago post offices, etc."

"Reply - Now there is even a space post office in space."

"..."

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

A video clip of Wang Shunyou braving thousands of dangers and climbing mountains and wading through water to deliver the admission notice was inserted and played on the high-altitude giant screen.

When the ancient people of all dynasties saw this scene, they were immediately in awe!

This is really too dedicated!

At the same time

The ancients of all dynasties finally understood why Longguo Post did not cut its postal business even though it was not profitable.

Because this is not just a business, but also a public service provided by the Longguo government to the people.

This is exactly what people in later generations said: People's Post is for the people!

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was shocked:

"Posting thousands of miles is the lifeline of the country!"

"People's Post is for the people!"

Li Shimin was in awe of Longguo Post's lofty sense of mission.

This is a move that truly benefits the country and the people!

At this moment, he understood.

The goal of the state-owned enterprises is not only to make money, but also to provide public services to the people.

As long as it is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, even if it loses money, it must be carried out!

"Fuji, Xuanling, please discuss whether the imperial post office can provide mail delivery services for the people?"

"Or, we can start a new Tang Dynasty post office."

Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

...

Not only Li Shimin.

In other dynasties, some emperors had similar insights and ideas.

This is good for the country!

...

[Behind this is a high-densitytransportation lines, high freight rates and countless human and material costs. 】

[So, in 1997, Longguo Post, which had been holding on, suffered a loss of 17.9 billion, becoming the state-owned enterprise with the largest loss that year. 】

[Even Longguo Telecom, which had been a partner since the founding of the People's Republic of China, couldn't stand it anymore and proposed a separation in 1998. 】

[The telecommunications business established the Telecommunications Bureau, and the postal business established the Postal Bureau. 】

[The family was divided, but the Postal Bureau got only a leaky basket with many losses, many debts, a large funding gap and few talents. 】

[How thin was the Postal Bureau in 1998? 】

[As a vice-ministerial unit, it was established for more than half a year, and only the director was in place. 】

[So he was also jokingly called the three-one director: a brand, an official seal, a letter of appointment, and then nothing. 】

【So in 1999, Longguo Post Group, which had just learned to walk independently, lost another 15.4 billion in one go. 】

【Life was already so difficult, and the times have brought new problems to the post office. 】

【With the development of telecommunications and the Internet, fewer and fewer people use letters, so the marginal cost of transportation is getting higher and higher, and the revenue gap is getting bigger and bigger. 】

【While they are worried about losing money, the state has issued a key document requiring large and medium-sized state-owned loss-making enterprises to get out of trouble and reform. 】

【As for the extremely poor households like Longguo Post, in order to ensure normal operation, the state has implemented the "8531" plan. 】

【From 1999 to 2002, Longguo Post was given subsidies of 8 billion, 5 billion, 3 billion and 1 billion yuan respectively. 】

【That is to say, four years later, Longguo Post must turn losses around. 】

【Military orders are like mountains, what should we do? 】

……

Many ancient people from all dynasties continued to stare at the giant screen in the sky more attentively.

They were very curious about how Longguo Post turned losses into profits. .
