Fang Yao looked in the direction Yin Xun was pointing at. Written there were plans for two types of express delivery.
Yin Xun wanted both methods to be operational. For a delivery schedule of three to five days, the packages would not be delivered to the door. Instead, they would be concentrated at delivery points at the entrances of each district.
Although the speed was slower and it was a little troublesome to collect the packages, the advantage was that the price would be low. Some vendors that had high profits could even waive the delivery fee.
The express delivery that Yin Xun developed would belong to Xintao. Its name was Xintao Express. According to the distance, the deliveries could even arrive on the same day or the next day. Moreover, it would be delivered to the doorstep of the purchaser. If they wanted to return the goods, they could also do that free of charge.
This was still not the most convenient thing—the users could even choose when to make the delivery. With that, those who were at work or had something to do during a particular day would not have to worry; they could specifically choose the time they were at home.
However, the delivery fee had to be borne by the user and was more expensive. It was convenient for those who were anxious to receive the items quickly.
Users could choose between the two delivery modes.
“This is indeed a good and innovative operating model.” Yin Xun’s ideas had never disappointed him. She came up with all kinds of innovations. It was a shame that she could not be a little more sensitive in relationships.
Fang Yao sighed. He could only keep these extra words to himself.
“But…” Fang Yao frowned slightly. “Everyone does business to make money, and your idea is perfect for users, but it’s not profitable for Xintao.”
“No, no, no.” Yin Xun waved a hand. “It’s just making a little less money than before. In the beginning, it might be a negative profit, but it’ll be fine as long as I get on the right track.”
Fang Yao said, “For capitalists, making less money is equal to not making money at all.”
Yin Xun said, “That’s because I’m greedy. I have to look at the long term when it comes to investing. It’s already a decent result as long as I don’t lose money at the beginning. Even if the net profit is only one cent, it’s still profitable. The development of this project will be a good thing. I’m confident that I can pull it off, just like Xintao.
“So…” Yin Xun smiled and handed the cup to Fang Yao, indicating for him to drink some water. Then, she said with a smile, “So, you will surely invest in such a good project, right? After all, it’s just another branch of Xintao…”
Yin Xun felt embarrassed when she said this. Back then, she had only signed a contract with Fang Yao to cover the initial stage. Technically speaking, express delivery was not included in the contract.
At that time, she only had one goal, which was to get Xintao off the ground. Now that Xintao had basically stabilized, she began to think about the next project.
The idea of the project was simple. The difficult part was to get investments. Now that Xintao and Blue Fox were in a “brawling” phase, many investors did not dare to make a decision easily.
Usually, when Yin Xun made a request, Fang Yao would agree instantly, but this time was different.
The original proposal was flawless. After discussion, the Fang Corporation confirmed that this project could definitely make money, so they invested. Although this new project would not lose money, if they earned too little and invested too much, others might not agree.
If they could use the same amount of money to invest in a different project that clearly earned more money, it was obvious which one was better.
“The amount invested in this project is not a small sum. I can’t make the decision alone. I need to hold a shareholders’ meeting to discuss it,” Fang Yao said with a frown.
The company did not belong to him alone. He could not do whatever he wanted. Any decision had to be discussed before it could be implemented.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your news. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t agree. You’ve already helped me a lot,” Yin Xun said with a smile. She was not angry at all that Fang Yao could not make a decision.
This was the real business world. The kind of CEO who casually signed a contract worth tens of billions without checking the feasibility of the project only existed in fiction. That kind of CEO could not bring out the maximum potential of their company.
It was the nature of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Yin Xun did not expect to receive Fang Yao’s answer immediately.
“This proposal is not detailed enough. I need more detailed data to convince the others,” Fang Yao said.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll organize it as soon as possible when I get back.” Yin Xun nodded.
Actually, before she came here, she had already asked Yin Cheng about the Fang family.
Although the Fang Family was huge, the relationships within it were also extremely complicated. The ones with the greatest say were naturally Fang Yao’s parents. As for Fang Yao, because he was still young, there were still many people secretly holding him back despite his outstanding abilities..
