Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian's heart could not help but tremble when he saw Upwind Logistics' news becoming a hot topic.

What was going on?

Upwind Logistics was a huge loss to Tengda Corporation. It was the hope of the entire Tengda Corporation. Lu Mingliang was also a trusted aide that could stabilize the situation. Nothing must happen to you!

Pei Qian quickly opened the hot searches and checked the details.

In fact, it was said that Shengyun Corporation and Upwind Logistics had occupied the hot searches. In fact, the news of the two companies were separated.

Shengyun Corporation had a very high position on the hot searches. The topic was # Shengyun Corporation is causing trouble # and # Shengyun Corporation's Express Delivery #. Upwind Logistics was at the back of the hot searches. The topic was # Upwind Logistics paused the service #. The former was an affirmative sentence while the latter was a question.

However, it was obvious that there was a connection between the two.

There were many discussions online. Pei Qian quickly restored the original situation through the netizens' discussions even though they were all fragmented.

"So what if it's Shengyun Express? My express delivery has been at the transit station for hours. Why isn't it being delivered to me?"

"They can't send it over, right? I'm in Shanghai. I saw that the delivery cabinets of Shengyun Express are all filled up. Their district courier stations are also filled up. There's not even a place to put my feet. If you're in a hurry to get the express delivery, go to the courier station in the district yourself."

"Why should I get it from the courier station in the district? Didn't they always deliver it to my doorstep?"

"Those are Upwind Courier stations… I went to ask. Upwind Courier stations are not accepting Shengyun Express's packages because the system has been upgraded. Therefore… Shengyun Express is probably confused. These express delivery companies are accumulating together. It's a little like a double 11 warehouse."

"Everyone in Shengyun Express is really a bunch of useless people. This is not a festival. How can it be filled with parcels? Or could it be that they did not arrange for the personnel of the various stations according to the delivery volume and capacity? Therefore, if something unexpected happens, they would be in a mess?"

"In my opinion, this is Upwind Logistics' fault, right? Look at the notice from Shengyun Express. They said that it was because of the problem with Upwind Logistics that the express delivery pile up. They are sending more people to send it. Thus, they need to be delayed for a few days. They suggest that everyone come to the express delivery cabinet and courier station as soon as possible."

"Why is it Upwind Logistics' fault? They did not say that they had to send you Shengyun Express. It's their freedom to adjust their business. Shengyun Express is the express delivery company with the highest market share in the country. Without Upwind Courier stations, they can't even do the delivery segment well? Are you a delivery giant or a delivery giant?"

"Heh, you still have the cheek to push the blame to Upwind Logistics? Didn't Shengyun Express announce internally that their cooperation with Upwind Logistics was going to be terminated? Why, are you still blaming Upwind Logistics? You're simply shameless!"

The by-standers were confused, and not everyone could figure out the truth. However, their natural good impression of Upwind Logistics made them naturally lean towards it.

Upwind Logistics was a delivery brand under Tengda Corporation. They had been diligently delivering parcels to customers' doorsteps for so long. The delivery men were kind and passionate, leaving a good impression on customers.

On the other hand, what about Shengyun Express? It might have a high market share but its image was far worse than Upwind Logistics.

Therefore, everyone's first reaction was of course to scold Shengyun Express.

In fact, there was no reason for this matter to ferment so quickly. After all, there was only a slight delay in the delivery. It was a little ridiculous for it to become a hot topic in a day.

The key was that this was not a simple 'delayed delivery'. Instead, it was a serious delay in the surrounding areas of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Jingzhou. What's more, Shengyun Express's express delivery cabinet and courier station were all full!

If it was a special festival like Singles Day, everyone would understand that the delivery was full. What's more, Shengyun Express could be said to be too good in its own business, causing the warehouse to be full.

However, these two days were not any special days. It was just an ordinary work day, but the express delivery was still full. Did this mean that there was obviously a problem with the entire system of Shengyun Express. It was too weak that it would shatter with a single touch?

Shengyun Express was also trying hard to shift the blame. They said that Upwind Logistics suddenly stopped supporting Shengyun Express's delivery, causing a delay in the terminal.

However, someone soon stood up to expose Shengyun Express's' only partial truth 'behavior: Shengyun Express had obviously stopped working with Upwind Logistics in second- and third-tier cities and remote areas first!

What's more, this thing had an internal notice as proof. It was useless to deny it.

In fact, when Shengyun Express banned Chilu Delivery, they had already released 'Notice on Prohibition of Prohibition of Agency of Chilu Delivery' and 'Penalty Announcement for Prohibition of Agency of Chilu Delivery' on the internet. Someone had released it at that time. However, the attention was too low and it was not popular, so it did not cause much of a stir.

At that time, Shengyun Express banned them because Chilu Delivery was a pushover.

Chilu Delivery might be cheap, but the service did not leave a deep impression on customers. After the ban, Shengyun Delivery's own business was not affected at all. Thus, Chilu Delivery died silently.

However, this time, the situation was completely different. Shengyun Express had kicked an iron plate!

Obviously, Upwind Logistics and Chilu Delivery were on completely different levels. They could even be said to be from different dimensions.

Netizens saw that, alright, Shengyun Express would first stop working with Upwind Logistics in a second- and third-tier city and push their own express delivery cabinet and community courier station. Wasn't this burning bridges? Wasn't this just picking up a bowl to eat, putting down the chopsticks to curse?

The cooperation had been good at first, but you insisted on building your own express delivery cabinet and community courier station and replace Upwind Courier stations.

Then, Upwind Courier stations would logically stop working with you in first-tier cities. Then, you would panic and start shouting that you were wronged?

He had never seen someone so brazen!

Of course, even though Shengyun Express was scolded, public opinion was not completely one-sided.

That was because Shengyun Express could hire fake reviewers!

Once the fake reviewers were mobilized, they could at least maintain a balance in terms of voice. They used words like 'Upwind Logistics is not a good thing', 'Upwind Logistics wants to take drastic measures to drag down Shengyun Express', and 'Shengyun Express can't be considered to be cutting off their wrist'.

The more both sides hyped up, the more popular this matter became.

Those who had been filled with anger because the express delivery was not being delivered turned their anger into motivation at that moment. They went crazy online and fought the fake reviewers who protected Shengyun Express for three hundred rounds!

Pei Qian felt that he had to ask a little about this after understanding the situation.

Upwind Logistics was the key to whether he could incur losses during this cycle!

That was because Pei Qian had roughly calculated that the pressure to incur losses during this cycle was indeed unprecedented. Even if he considered charity activities, zoo building, headquarters building investment, and other spending methods, it was still a little difficult to complete the loss.

That was because Tengda was too big now, so it was getting harder to predict.

A huge sum of money would appear out of nowhere if there were any slight fluctuations in the performance of those profitable industries.

Thus, Pei Qian had to rack his brains to think of a plan.

He could spend a huge sum of money to acquire Finger Games, but he might not be able to settle this before settlement! He could not count on it.

What's more, all these calculations were based on Upwind Logistics' current losses.

If Upwind Logistics suddenly incurred less losses before settlement, it would be very easy for something big to happen.

At that thought, Pei Qian called Lu Mingliang and asked about Upwind Logistics and Shengyun Express.

Over the phone, Lu Mingliang sounded very confident. "Boss Pei, don't worry. Everything is under my control!"

"I've been unhappy with the people from Shengyun Express for a long time. They were the ones earning the most from the express delivery money. Now, they want to kick us away? They really don't care about face!"

"What should I do with them?!"

"That's right, Boss Pei, don't worry. After temporarily stopping our business with them, Upwind Logistics' work became much more relaxed. We sent fewer express deliveries because we were incurring losses to begin with. We also lost less money. We can save a lot of performance salary and overtime pay."

"In other words, we don't have any pressure on money."

"Shengyun Corporation will definitely not be able to take it if this continues!"

Pei Qian was silent.

I don't know if Shengyun Corporation or Upwind Logistics will be the first to collapse, but I know that I will definitely be the first to collapse…

How could you lose less? At this critical moment, isn't that killing me?

However, the reason why both sides were in such a state was mainly because Shengyun Corporation wanted to cut ties with Upwind Logistics. What Lu Mingliang did was a legitimate counterattack.

Pei Qian could not possibly allow all of Upwind Logistics's employees to continue working with Shengyun Corporation just to lose some money, right? That would not be humane.

Upwind Logistics had a huge responsibility to incur losses. Pei Qian still had to rely on them.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and realized that there was no good solution to this problem. That was because he knew nothing about Upwind Logistics' entire system anymore. Naturally, it was difficult for him to deal with the problem.

When Upwind Logistics was first established, Pei Qian was very familiar with the entire system. After all, this system was built according to his concept. However, Upwind Logistics had been incurring losses for several years. Lu Mingliang was in charge of everything. It was very reassuring!

Thus, Pei Qian did not pay attention to Upwind Logistics anymore.

Since he no longer understood, he would let Lu Mingliang think about it.

After some consideration, Pei Qian said, "Alright, you can take care of Upwind Logistics. I won't interfere. However, I have a request: you cannot save money."

"The most basic task for you is to maintain the current losses."

"If you can increase this loss, that would be even better!"
