Chapter 525: The Father-in-Law’s Request!

Zhu Zhibin merely sighed in admiration. In truth, he wouldn’t drink real tea even if he wanted to. With a doctor in the family, he preferred to prevent issues early. Zhu Yanyi had said she could only drink tea after turning eighteen. Although she complained verbally, she wouldn’t actually try it.

Zhu Zhibin took the flower tea his sister handed him. He took a sip and let out a satisfied "Ha~" sound, his face full of delight. Everyone laughed at his expression.

Yan Aohan tasted the tea. Zhu Yanyi’s skills were truly top-tier. This was a stark contrast to Zhu Shunyang’s fake techniques. Just this small cup of Longjing tea had a tender green, glossy color. Its aroma was fresh and elegant. The taste was crisp, sweet, and mellow, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste. However, they weren’t gathered here just to drink tea. The main topic was discussing the logistics and security companies.

"The business licenses for the logistics and security companies have arrived. Now we need to find locations. Where do you think we should set up these two companies?" Yan Aohan spoke first.

Zhu Shunyang thought for a moment. "I’m not an expert in this. My factory is here because my fields are here, so I got the land permit to build the factory here."

Yan Aohan nodded, looking only at Zhu Yanyi. "Ani, what do you think?"

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and thought. "The logistics company and the security company are two independent entities. The logistics company doesn’t need a huge area. It just needs an practice chamber and a warehouse to store goods. Initially, the space requirement isn’t large. Basically, a storefront can solve it. The logistics company relies more on franchising. It’s best to have a fixed location for logistics convergence. For example, we can have a Azure Sovereign Qingdi Logistics point in Sicheng Town. We can also set up a point in Yao City. If goods from Sicheng Town need to go to Yao City, we send them directly there. People in Yao City can then deliver them door-to-door. We can also open Azure Sovereign Qingdi Logistics points in Hang City, Modu, and Jingdu. If goods from here are sent there, as long as someone entrusts us, we send them directly to the local point. The local people, who know the terrain, handle the delivery."

"Wouldn’t that be chaotic?" Zhu Shunyang asked. "If we have goods going to Jingdu from here, and Yao City also has goods, and people from both sides are delivering, wouldn’t it be too messy?"

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly and took out a piece of paper from the side. "We can use a coordinated logistics method. For example, goods from here have a main hub, which is Yong City." Zhu Yanyi drew a circle, then drew several other circles around it. "Yong City includes not only goods from within Yong City itself that need to be sent elsewhere, but also goods from logistics points in surrounding third-tier cities." Zhu Yanyi wrote city names in the circles, then put down her pen. "Let me give an example. Suppose we have three items in Sicheng Town, three in Yao City, and four in Ci City. The three items from Sicheng Town are first sent to Yao City. Yao City combines them with its own three items, making six, and sends them to Yong City. Ci City sends its four items directly to Yong City. Yong City becomes the convergence point. Then, these ten items are processed. Let’s assume all ten are going in one direction, say to Modu. To reach Modu, one must pass through several cities like Nanhu City and Shan City. Among these ten items, if one is destined for Shan City, we send it to the Shan City point first. If Shan City happens to have goods to carry along to Modu, it takes them. If not, it continues forward on its own. This way, a clear route emerges."
