Chapter 114: Benefits to Friendly Merchants

Chapter 114: Benefits to Friendly Merchants (Watch Two in One)

Yun Province, Spring City.

Li Ming and his group went to the hotel in a business car.

He was observing this strange city along the way.

"Wow, there are so many flowers in the green belt!"

“Roses, peonies, and red roses…are all planted in the green belt!”

In the passenger seat, Liu Wei's voice of surprise kept ringing, and she was exclaiming in praise all the way.

Li Ming had no interest in flowers, but he was also surprised that Chuncheng was full of flowers, just like in the videos on the Internet.

For those who love flowers, it is heaven.

He also seemed to have seen a few bouquets of flowers stuffed into the trash can on the side of the road, just like throwing away garbage...

In the afternoon, at two o'clock.

They arrived at the five-star hotel they had booked. After Li Ming entered the room, he opened the curtains.

What comes into view is a lake, and the mountains opposite are continuous, like a lying sleeping beauty.

The view is nice.

He opened his backpack and took out his computer and a file bag. The bag contained the gambling agreement, which he carefully read.

As expected, Chen Feiyu changed it.

If he wins, the project he cooperates with Shunfeng will be expanded to 10 billion.

He provided relevant information of Qinghua brain-computer interface team members and a cooperation opportunity.

If he loses, he will be given 4 million in cash.

The fact that Chen Feiyu could agree to such a request proved that he had absolute confidence in himself.

Of course, he may have other motivations.

Li Ming did not hesitate and signed the gambling agreement directly.

How could he not be confident?

After signing the contract, Li Ming went through all the processes of the logistics skills competition and simulated a data assessment.

In a blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Wei and the other two knocked on his door and said they wanted to go out for a walk and appreciate the local characteristics.

Li Ming readily agreed.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, an online-hailing taxi stopped downstairs of the hotel.

A group of four got off the bus.

Liu Wei wore three colorful wreaths on her head and held four large bouquets of flowers in her arms, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Li Ming, Wang Zhenhui and Wei Zhen all became her tools, and each of them held two bouquets of flowers for him.

They went to the Dounan Flower Market, the largest flower market in Asia, and had a delicious wild mushroom hotpot.

It was night in a blink of an eye.

As the only girl in the team, Liu Wei couldn't move away when she saw the prices of flowers in the flower market.

She walked and danced in the Dounan Flower Market, constantly expressing her surprise.

If she could take more, Li Ming suspected she would buy a cart of flowers.

Downstairs, Liu Wei said, "We have gained a lot today, let's go back."

The group returned to the room. After Li Ming handed her the flowers, he washed up and rested.

……

A dreamless night.

early morning.

Li Ming and his group went out and found that there were three minibuses parked in front of the hotel, all of which were here to pick up the contestants.

He looked carefully and saw three express companies, namely, STO Express, Shunfeng Express and Postal Service.

There are also less famous ones such as Debang, Desheng, Jitu, Sinotrans...

Li Ming was dazzled and basically he didn't recognize any of them.

However, I immediately spotted Chen Feiyu with a buzz cut and Lu Qi from Shunfeng Logistics.

Chen Feiyu also saw him and nodded very politely. Li Ming also smiled slightly.

Wang Zhenhui smiled and said: “Only the top 50 domestic logistics companies are eligible to participate in this competition.

This is a competition, but also an opportunity to make new connections.

Of course, winning a place in the competition will not only bring honor to the company, but also various subsidy policies will be available.

These policies are very helpful to some medium-sized logistics companies, and even determine whether logistics companies can survive in the fierce competition.

Li Ming, Liu Wei.

In addition, it is not so easy to get a ranking this time. The overall strength of Shunfeng's team is one level higher than yours.

The four major express delivery companies also sent their strongest players from last year.

Top ten in the overall competition and top five in the individual competition, this is our goal! ”

After hearing what Wang Zhenhui said, Li Ming understood.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Hui."

In the car, no one spoke anymore. They just sat there in silence and headed to their destination.

Half an hour passed.

The car slowly drove to a competition venue, Tuodong Gymnasium, and stopped outside.

After getting off the car, Li Ming looked around the scene carefully and found that there were not many people there except the staff.

There were no more than a thousand people in the stands, all of them college students called by the organizers to act as spectators, most of whom were studying logistics.

If it weren't for the points earned from participating in the event, they might not have come.

Competitions in the logistics industry have no commercial value, and even fewer spectators, making them very deserted.

The central area of ​​the stadium is divided into two large areas.

The first is the comprehensive competition area, which covers the use of various logistics tools, the application of logistics systems, and logistics scheduling in simulated complex scenarios.

The second is the area of ​​individual skills competition, which includes three major items, use of basic tools, and logistics data simulation.

Under the guidance of the staff, Li Ming and Liu Wei came to the competition area.

Wang Zhenhui, Wei Zhen and a number of logistics company CEOs were sitting outside the venue with their work badges.

Above the field are two huge screens that allow players in both areas to be clearly seen.

As the entrance music sounded, teams came in one by one, and the host introduced them in a passionate voice.

Finally, Li Ming and 49 other contestants came to the preparation area for the individual skills competition.

"Dear leaders and guests... Now, please welcome the chairman of the Yunnan Logistics Association to give a speech!"

The opening ceremony lasted for about an hour, and official representatives, hosts, and local logistics chairmen all spoke.

Then, the referee representatives, the contestant representatives...the only thing that caught Li Ming's attention was.

Chen Feiyu went up to speak on behalf of the contestants and specifically mentioned Jingtong and his name.

The camera on the big screen was aimed at Li Ming, and he smiled and nodded.

The templated process is completed and the host comes to the stage again.

It was not until this time that Li Ming reluctantly began to listen seriously.

The host is a girl with very ethnic characteristics.

She is tall, has a big frame, slightly dark skin, and three-dimensional facial features, giving her a mixed-race beauty, but in fact she is a member of a minority ethnic group.

She held up the competition rules and read them out again: “This individual skills competition will be held twice, with 25 representatives competing simultaneously each time.

There will be on-site referees and video referees to make the final decisions throughout the entire process.

There are 25 tracks, from left to right, they are tools items, physical strength items, and data items.

Each item has a full score of 100 points. If you break the record, you will get 10 points. If you are one minute faster than the record, you will get 1 points. If you are less than ...

When a team member completes an item, please quickly press the green light next to it and proceed to the next item.

The total competition time is 4 hours, with a 10-minute break between events. Participants can leave the competition early.

Now, please welcome the first batch of contestants..."

After the host finished speaking.

On the huge screen appeared 25 rows of companies, participating teams, tracks, competition events, project time, individual project scores... and the total score.

All the data is readily available.

The other half of the screen shows the live scene, with a referee for each track.

Immediately, 25 corresponding personnel came forward, found the track, took out their competition badges, and had their identity information checked by the referee.

It feels like taking a physical education exam...

Li Ming did not move. He was assigned to the afternoon session.

In the morning, all he wanted to do was watch the game at the venue and do nothing else.

He glanced at Chen Feiyu on track No. 7. He was wearing the Shunfeng team uniform with the classic black, red and white background. He had a calm expression, a confident smile and a handsome appearance.

But he had dark circles under his eyes, and I don’t know what he did last night, it seemed that he didn’t sleep well.

Among the 25 contestants, Chen Feiyu is the youngest.

The representatives of other companies are all strong and muscular men, and you can tell at a glance that they are there to deal with the "three major items".

As if noticing Li Ming's gaze, Chen Feiyu looked over and grinned... His smile made Li Ming a little confused.

Li Ming ignored him, turned around and didn't walk towards the rest area.

Wang Zhenhui and Wei Zhen were both standing on the sidelines, staring at the data on the big screen.

Coincidentally, to their right was the rest area of ​​Shunfeng Logistics.

Their head Lu Qi and a young girl sat and chatted, looking calm and composed, unlike the heads of other companies who were paying close attention to the competition.

On the left is also a local company in Yunnan Province, called Desheng.

It seems to have developed extremely rapidly in recent years and has gained quite a reputation in the southwest region.

Their leader was also standing, looking slightly nervous.

Li Ming looked back and saw the contestant from their company, whose name was Zhang Wei.

Compared with other players from logistics companies, he is relatively young, about 25 years old.

Seeing Li Ming coming back, Wei Zhen came up to him with a bottle of water.

He said, "Liu Wei's comprehensive competition is in the first round. I hope she can get good results. Then you will have less pressure in the afternoon."

Li Ming took the water bottle and stood beside the two of them, looking at another large screen and said, "I believe in Sister Wei, it shouldn't be a problem for her to get into the top ten." Wang Zhenhui said, "It depends on how she performs. I am most concerned about Shunfeng, Desheng, and Kuaitu.

If the intelligence is correct, judging from the simulation data they provided, the three of them have already secured victory in the individual competition.

They are all record breakers...and there are a few others that should not be underestimated.

Your statistics are a major weakness, and they can basically score over 90 points.

We want to get the top five in the individual competition...it’s a bit difficult.”

Li Ming did not express any opinion on Wang Zhenhui's concerns.

moment.

After the pre-match inspection on the field was completed, the referee blew the whistle.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

On track No. 25, Zhang Wei from Desheng rushed out with hydraulic forklifts, high-level forklifts, electronic pallets, electronic cage trucks... trolleys, PDAs, barcode scanners...

In the first item, which was the logistics tool operation standard, he performed very smoothly and at the fastest speed, gradually gaining an advantage of several body lengths on the track.

Even Chen Feiyu lagged behind him in the operation of three logistics tools.

Their work uniforms have a purple background and yellow lettering, which is very eye-catching.

"Come on Viagra!"

"Viagra is really great!"

At this time, Li Ming heard the people from Desheng Logistics on his left cheering him on.

Lu Qi, who was originally chatting calmly, stood up and frowned.

"Desheng is so fast? It's going to break the record!" Wang Zhenhui was stunned.

Lu Qi also brought his assistant and slowly came to Li Ming and the other two.

He frowned and said, "Old Wang, I thought Li Ming was our competitor, but I didn't expect a dark horse to suddenly appear."

Wang Zhenhui rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell are you doing staring at us, Jingtong?"

Lu Qi sneered, "Nonsense! You guys invited Li Ming here, how can I not pay attention!
I don’t even know when I’ll be killed by you guys!”

Then, he smiled and said to Li Ming: "Director Li, you are young and promising, and you are also a senior executive of Zhixing Technology.

How come you could represent Jingtong in this competition?
Could it be that the robot contract you signed has such a clause?"

Li Ming met Lu Qi at a technology launch conference at Jiangcheng University.

At that time, he was vying for the technical license and was very enthusiastic. He argued with Wang Zhenhui and several other logistics companies until they were all red in the face.

But later on, he learned that Zhixing would not authorize and would only sell related robot products, so he disappeared... When Zhao Zinan went to look for him later, he was always perfunctory.

Wang Zhenhui scolded, “Don’t ask. You guys are not signing with Zhixing, so it’s useless to ask.”

Lu Qi: "Oh, Lao Wang, look how capable you are. I'm just talking to Brother Li, it's none of your business."

Wang Zhenhui said coldly: "I am too lazy to play the lute to a cow like you."

……

The two started quarreling as soon as they met, and Li Ming was no longer surprised.

I heard that they were very good brothers in college, but later they became enemies because of a girl.

Li Ming was too lazy to find out about their past.

Snapped!
Suddenly, everyone looked over.

Zhang Wei pressed the timer for the first project, rushed to the stacking project among the three major projects, and started stacking the goods...

"Zhang Wei broke the record!"

“15 minutes and 36 seconds!
Two minutes faster than the previous record!
In this event, he has opened up a 16-point gap with everyone else.”

Wei Zhen, who had been watching the game, suddenly said.

Hearing this, Wang Zhenhui and Lu Qi also fell silent and watched the game on the field quietly.

Li Ming was also surprised. He thought Chen Feiyu could control the people in this group.

Snapped!
Then, Chen Feiyu pressed the timer.

He also completed the second event in 17 minutes and 37 seconds, very close to the previous record.

For the first item, you can get 20 points if you complete it within 100 minutes.

Seeing this, Lu Qi's tense face relaxed a little.

He asked Li Ming: "Can you get full marks?"

Li Ming was certain that his bet with Chen Feiyu had definitely been approved by Lu Qi.

He said: "Mr. Lu, don't you have confidence in Chen Feiyu?"

Lu Qi smacked his lips and said, “It was true before, but I can’t say for sure now.

The people at Desheng Logistics can be better than him, so you may not be able to do the same, right?"

Li Ming was too lazy to continue chatting with this old fox. Now he kept calling him "Director Li". If his interests were involved, he would not even meet him.

Seeing that Li Ming didn't react, Lu Qi didn't get angry and just watched the game together.

……

After entering the track of the three major events, everyone found that Chen Feiyu's speed increased dramatically.

In just ten minutes, he surpassed Zhang Wei.

"Hey! Shunfeng's people are so fast, are they so perverted?"

"Fuck, Chen Feiyu broke the record!
He broke the 4-minute record and surpassed Zhang Wei in score!"

……

At this time, there were new changes on the field.

The person in charge of Desheng Logistics said solemnly: "It seems that the three major physical items should be Chen Feiyu's strengths..."

Not long after he finished speaking, he froze in place and exclaimed, "This... the loading and unloading project also broke the record?!
How is this possible! Chen Feiyu, when did Shunfeng have such an employee! "

A smile appeared on Lu Qi's face again. He ignored Li Ming beside him and glanced at Wang Zhenhui.

He said indifferently: "Lao Wang, how is my employee?"

Wang Zhenhui: “Get lost!”

Things changed very quickly on the field. Zhang Wei from Desheng and Chen Feiyu from Shunfeng pulled away from the main group and were far ahead.

At this time, Qian Shan, the person in charge of Desheng, who was wearing a purple work suit, also came over with his assistant.

He smiled bitterly at Lu Qi, frowned and said, “Boss Lu, your company is big and powerful, and you never competed for the first place in previous years.

Why are they suddenly competing with small businesses like us for subsidies this year? Is there any change in the policy this year?"

Wang Zhenhui also said coldly: "Shunfeng likes to break this kind of default rule. We, Jingtong, only want to keep 10 and fight for 5.

You Shunfeng are really becoming more and more shameless, suppressing small businesses."

Lu Qi shook his head and said, "It's all based on strength. I've been letting you guys down for so many years, but you're still half dead."

Qian Shan was so upset by this that he snorted, "Aren't you guys monopolizing it?
This kind of vicious competition will only destroy the logistics market. Large companies should have the responsibility of large companies!"

It's rare to see someone who would challenge Lu Qi with me.

Wang Zhenhui immediately followed up, “Boss Qian, you don’t have to be so obscure.

People like Lu Qi will only use despicable means to compete no matter where they go.

Such a shameless person could actually become the head of Shunfeng. I can only say that Shunfeng is blind. "

Lu Qi sneered, “Haha, then go ahead and sue me.

Wang Zhenhui, please watch your mouth. As a CEO, you are making personal attacks on me every day. Aren't you losing face?
It's as if you guys at Jingtong abide by the rules and are willing to give subsidies to small businesses. It makes me laugh to death."

Wang Zhenhui said calmly: "Open your dog eyes and watch carefully.

We are a responsible company and will not take away their jobs.

We will continue to strive to be in the top 5 and pass on profits to our sister companies and friendly businesses, so that we can all make money together.”

Lu Qi frowned and looked at Li Ming again.

If what Wang Zhenhui said is true, then Li Ming will definitely lose the bet. Could it be that Li Ming intends to sell Zhixing’s shares?

Li Ming had a strange expression on his face.

At this time, Wang Zhenhui was shaking hands with Qian Shan eagerly.

He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Qian. Shunfeng will not bully you. We at Jingtong will help you, on the contrary."

Qian Shan said with emotion: "Thank you for your care, Mr. Wang. Jingtong really lives up to its reputation. This is the same as your value concept of success in the right way. It is admirable."

He looked at Li Ming again and saw that he was a slightly immature boy who didn't look like someone who worked in logistics, so he felt relieved.

He smiled and said, "This must be the representative of Jingtong, right? He is so young but has the ability to compete for the top ten. He is truly a young hero!"

Wang Zhenhui laughed and said, "Hahaha, yes, his name is Li Ming, and he is now the representative of our Jingtong.

But he has other identities, which I cannot tell you now, but I will definitely introduce you to him when I have the chance."

Qian Shan was surprised and asked, "Oh?"

He took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile: "Li Ming, right? My name is Qian Shan. I'll leave everything to you and Mr. Wang.

If you, Jingtong, also make an effort, we, Desheng, may not be able to get into the top three.

After we come down, we must have a good chat.”

Li Ming smiled and nodded: "Money is always good, I will try my best to get into the top ten."

Qian Shan said happily: "Good! Good! Good!"

Li Ming did not refute Wang Zhenhui's words at this time, and he would not hold back later.

As for giving benefits to friendly businesses and not stealing jobs from sister companies, that is something Jingtong needs to consider.

He is not from Jingtong, and he will not give up his own interests.

After half an hour.

Desheng's Zhang Wei was completely overtaken by Chen Feiyu, and the score difference became larger and larger. Qian Shan had a gloomy face, but Lu Qi kept smiling.

“The first event of the comprehensive competition is over!
The players take a 30-minute break! "

Suddenly, the host's voice sounded.

When Li Ming was surprised, he heard the host's slightly anxious voice: "The team doctor, hurry up, there is an emergency with Jingtong player Liu Wei!"

Hear the words.

Li Ming was stunned. He saw the team doctor rushing onto the field. Wang Zhenhui's expression changed drastically as he said, "Brother, let's go and take a look!"

Li Ming frowned and rushed over... like a black shadow. Wang Zhenhui and his companions stood there in surprise, watching Li Ming's disappearing back.

He came to Liu Wei's side first.

Liu Wei was seen twitching on the ground, sweating profusely, her clothes clinging to her curvy body...
