Chapter 395 The Final Winner
For a time, Lulutong's business became much sluggish. The person in charge of the branch was extremely anxious. He immediately informed Lin Wu of the current operating status and the challenges faced by the Lulutong branch he was in charge of in a letter.
After reading the letter, Lin Wu remained calm and did not take any countermeasures. He just sent a letter to the person in charge of the branch station, asking him to wait patiently. The success or failure would become clear in two months.
As expected, all kinds of problems soon arose among those freight shops that were opened in clusters.
There are cases where the transported items are improperly stored, resulting in damage or destruction, and customers complain and demand compensation.
There were cases where delivery personnel were unfamiliar with the delivery routes, which delayed delivery time and caused a backlog of goods. Some goods became moldy and deteriorated, and were rejected by customers.
The most outrageous case is the employee embezzlement incident. The incident is not complicated. In a shop called Changshun Freight, an employee became greedy while packing and delivering items. When delivering the goods individually, he ran away with the goods.
The recipient couldn't wait for the goods to be delivered, so he came to the store himself. When the manager of Changshun Freight checked the order, he found that the goods had been shipped long ago, but he had not received the receipt. Not only that, even the deliveryman responsible for delivering the goods was missing.
At first, the shopkeeper did not think that the employee had embezzled money. He was just worried that something unexpected happened on the road and the employee was in danger, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to look for him.
After searching for half a day, they found out that the employee was actually gambling in a gambling house, and his capital was obtained by pawning the batch of goods.
The shopkeeper was so angry that he told his employer about the matter. After checking, the employer found out that the man was a gambler.
During the previous interview, he swore that he was very familiar with the surrounding area. During the trial period, his delivery speed was among the best among all the deliverymen, so he was retained. Who knew that this person was not up to the task and caused such a big trouble for himself in just a few days.
The furious employer immediately went to the government to report the case and sent the man to jail without hesitation, making him pay for his actions.
Immediately afterwards, the employer had to start dealing with the mess left by that person, personally apologize to the client, and try his best to minimize the negative impact of the incident.
However, the trust of the people is only once, and once lost, it is difficult to regain.
As the incident spread, Changshun Freight's business went from bad to worse, with revenues gradually failing to cover costs, and it eventually had to announce its closure.
It was not just Changshun Freight that had operational problems; several other freight shops also exposed various problems.
Customers who had suffered losses at these freight shops finally began to miss the benefits of LuLuTong.
At first, they thought that Passepartout's prices were too high and not as economical as other freight shops. But now, although Passepartout's prices are slightly higher, they are reliable and trustworthy.
As long as you hand over the goods to them, they will deliver them on time and even complete the task ahead of time without any delay.
It’s nothing like these shops. They are cheap, but things go wrong every now and then. Who can stand it?
After they figured it out, a large number of customers re-entered the door of Lulutong, and the local Lulutong manager was smiling so hard that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
While warmly entertaining customers, he never forgot to remind his delivery staff to do their work more seriously and never follow the footsteps of those shops and tarnish the reputation of Lulutong.
The deliverymen have had relatively little work to do recently, but they are not idle. Instead, they are always keeping an eye on the movements of other freight shops.
When they saw the development of other shops, they could not help but be dumbfounded. When they learned about the fate of some people, they were all frightened.
After receiving instructions from their boss, they all nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would never hold Lu Lutong back.
After all these changes, only one-third of the freight shops remained standing. Lulutong became the biggest winner, not only improving its reputation, but also becoming the first choice of target customers.
The same situation also occurred in other regions, and without exception, Lu Lutong always had the last laugh.
Seeing that the development of things was exactly in line with his expectations, Lin Wu was completely relieved and devoted himself to Lulutong's external expansion plan.
Today, Lulutong not only has land transportation business, but also has opened up sea routes and owns its own transport ships.
As a result, whether in terms of transportation scale, transportation quality or transportation speed, Lulutong is far ahead of other freight companies and has become the first choice for long-distance transportation cooperation for major businesses.
Excellent reputation and strong influence have promoted Lulutong's progress in entering other state capitals. According to Lulutong's current development momentum, it is entirely possible to achieve the goal of nationwide coverage within three years.
Qilixiang's store expansion follows closely in the footsteps of Lulutong's development. Currently, Qilixiang's store coverage has expanded to 24 states, with a total of 118 branches.
The Women's Vocational and Technical College run by Lin Chuyi has baking classes as part of its professional curriculum. As more and more students choose the baking courses, the making methods of a series of Western desserts such as cakes and bread are no longer a secret.
After graduating from vocational and technical colleges, students are free to make different choices.
Some of them decided to participate in Qilixiang's recruitment training and become dessert chefs in Qilixiang stores. They were gradually promoted with their outstanding professional skills and eventually became store partners.
Others prefer to start their own business and open their own dessert shop.
The joining of the former saved Lin Xiangxiang a lot of time and energy in training pastry chefs, and also had a positive effect on Qilixiang's external expansion.
The emergence of the latter has brought more competitors to Qilixiang.
But neither Lin Chuyi nor Lin Xiangxiang took this matter to heart. When they decided to add baking courses in the vocational college, they had already anticipated such a result.
According to the original plan, after the expiration of their contracts, some of the pastry chefs in the Qilixiang store would choose to leave Qilixiang and strike out on their own to start their own business.
Qilixiang will have to deal with this situation sooner or later, and now it is just bringing the process forward.
From the beginning, they had no intention of keeping the dessert recipes in their hands forever. A single flower does not make spring; a hundred flowers in full bloom make spring. The world is so big that they alone cannot handle all the business.
Instead of letting Qilixiang remain the only one in the market, which would allow the employees in the store to unconsciously develop a sense of superiority, which in turn affected their attitude towards customers and the desserts themselves, Qilixiang was eventually unable to recover from the siege by many emerging dessert shops in the future.
It would be better to let them develop a sense of competition and crisis from the beginning, strictly follow the management regulations of Qilixiang, continue to maintain excellent product quality and service attitude, and lay a good mass foundation for the sustainable development of Qilixiang.
