Beast-controlling fairy clan.

The express delivery industry is an industry with a very simple operating model.

Operators only need to build transfer stations in various places, recruit people who are familiar with the areas near the transfer stations as couriers, and then they can start attracting customers and making profits.

As for the establishment of a transfer station, it would be best if it could be built in the market town, as it would be convenient for picking up parcels.

But it is also possible to choose the mountain gate of a large immortal cultivation clan.

However, the premise is that the other family is trustworthy and willing to trust the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun didn't want to become too fat all at once, and had no plans to expand this business nationwide right from the start.

His initial plan was to only establish transit stations in the four states of Lianzhou, Lanzhou, Yunzhou, and Lingzhou under the Qinglian Temple, as well as those pioneering outposts in the wilderness.

After confirming that this operating model is feasible and convincing people that this business can make money, we will then look for the Su family or other families to form a partnership.

And he was not worried that other families would follow suit after seeing the Zhou family making money from this business.

You should know that express delivery in the world of immortal cultivation is not easy. First of all, you have to ensure that the letters and items are delivered to the recipients as quickly as possible. Using spirit beasts for transportation is a must, which is more important than personnel.

It’s like the world in Zhou Chun’s previous life. If you don’t have professional logistics vehicles, logistics ships, and logistics planes to transport the goods, how can you get the express to the recipient as quickly as possible?
Except for the Zhou family, most of the immortal cultivation families, even the big three sects, cannot afford a large number of spirit beasts for transportation and delivery.

I have to mention here that the Zhou family’s current configuration of spiritual beasts for transportation is excellent.

The Red-eyed Dragon Vulture is fast and highly safe, and can be used for high-end express services.

The Dragon Scale Horse and the Eight-Angled Water Deer are both amphibious and are land supercars.

The Dragon Claw Monitor Lizard has a large load capacity and a fast speed, making it a perfect heavy-duty logistics truck.

With these all-round high-end spiritual beasts in hand, no one can compete with the Zhou family in the express delivery business!

Even in Zhou Chun's idea, in order to ensure the safe transportation of goods between various transfer stations, not only would the Zhou family have to form several professional teams of monks to be responsible for escort, but they would also have to pull out some powerful monsters in the beast garden to follow the escort team.

In this link, the second-level monsters newly cultivated by the elders of the Zhou family are all important members.

In the past, when Zhou Chun went out, Zhou Mingde always gave him the Fire God Jackal as a bodyguard, and he saved his life several times.

Now the second-level monsters of the Zhou family’s elders can also perform this job and are fully capable of hiding in the escort team to protect the safety of the goods.

In this way, even if they encounter one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators trying to rob the transport team, they may not be able to succeed.

Given the Zhou family's current reputation and strength, and the fact that the looting value of goods from ordinary transport teams is not high, it is basically possible to prevent letters from being robbed midway.

For the Zhou family, the most difficult part is recruiting couriers.

Although many of the delivered letters are of no value in the hands of others, the Zhou family’s spiritual beasts are valuable!
If the courier accidentally takes the Zhou family's spiritual beast and runs away, not only will the Zhou family lose a fortune, but the entire courier business will become increasingly difficult. After all, the number of the Zhou family's spiritual beasts is limited.

To solve this problem, it is both difficult and easy.

The difficulty lies in the trustworthiness of the courier, and the ease lies in whether the Zhou family is willing to spend money.

If you are willing to spend money, you can find monks from those immortal cultivation families to do this.

The family monks are all guaranteed by their families. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. It is unlikely that they will betray their family for a spiritual beast. Moreover, the Zhou family will not let the spiritual beast sign a contract with the courier, and if it is stolen, it can only be sold.

After careful consideration, Zhou Chun decided not to test human nature and to directly recruit family monks as couriers.

After all, a good start is the most important. It is better not to make money at the beginning than to make a name for yourself and build a good reputation.

As for the latter, you can make money while recruiting low-level cultivators to train and observe them slowly.

Anyway, for those independent cultivators who are at the initial stage of Qi Refining, as long as the Zhou family is willing to let them practice in the mountain gate residence for free, they will be willing to accept some training from the Zhou family, not to mention that they will have the opportunity to get a job with a stable income in the future.

Just like that, after Zhou Chun finished making the detailed plan, he called several elders of the Zhou family over, showed them his plan, and answered some of their questions.

But in fact, express delivery is not a new thing. It’s just that no one has thought of fully integrating it into a major business before.

Just like Zhou Chun's previous life, there were official post stations to do this thousands of years ago, but they only served the government itself and a few dignitaries. Ordinary wealthy businessmen did not have the opportunity to use the post station's fast horses to deliver letters for them.

In the world of cultivating immortals, forces like the three major sects also have various ways of sending letters and communications, and rarely need the Zhou family's express delivery service.

Those who actually use this service are mainly the various immortal cultivation families and some independent cultivation forces.

So after reading Zhou Chun's plan and listening to his explanation, all the elders of the Zhou family understood the business opportunities and potential information advantages of this business.

As a result, this matter was quickly unanimously approved by the top management of the Zhou family and began to be implemented.

……

A pioneer outpost somewhere in the wilderness south of Yunzhou.

Meng Qing is a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining and had previously practiced in Lanzhou.

Because various immortal cultivation families had successively established pioneering bases in the wilderness, and after hearing the news that many cultivators had become rich, Meng Qing could no longer resist the temptation, so he bid farewell to his Taoist partner and children, and followed a few friendly cultivators to come here for an adventure.

After arriving here, Meng Qing discovered that his friends had not lied to him. As long as he dared to go out and take risks in the wilderness, he would definitely gain something every time.

After coming here for just over a year, he had already saved up hundreds of spirit coins, which were his earnings from his previous years in Lanzhou.

He did not plan to spend these spiritual coins himself, but to leave them to his two children who also had spiritual roots. He did not want his children to follow in his footsteps, and wanted to give them a better starting point.

But after more than a year here, he still hasn't had any contact with his family.

Several times he wanted to ask the caravan to bring letters home, but the caravan did not pass by his home. If he wanted to send the letter specially, the cost would be very high, and he could not bear it.

On this day, Meng Qing once again went out for an adventure with a few companions and returned with a lot of gains.

But in the battle, he himself was seriously injured and he would have to rest for a while.

After being injured, he walked back to his residence alone, missing his wife and children even more. So he went to the commercial street in the base again, hoping to see if he could be lucky enough to meet a caravan passing by his home.

However, not long after he entered the commercial street, he found a lot of people gathered in front of a store, and various discussions could be heard.

Out of curiosity, he immediately rushed over to check it out.

In front of a newly opened store called "Zhou Tong Tian Xia", a middle-aged man in a blue clerk's shirt was standing in front of a notice, with his hands slightly cupped, explaining loudly to the monks who gathered around him.

"Your concerns are justified, but our Zhoutongtianxia business is owned by the Lanzhou spiritual beast Zhou family. With the power and strength of the Zhou family, will they ruin their reputation just because of the dozens or hundreds of spiritual coins you gave them?"

"And we also have a rule that all money and goods transported are insured. If they are lost, we will compensate them according to the price. This is written in black and white in the spiritual contract, and it is backed by the reputation and foundation of the entire Zhou family!"

"Let's talk about the confidentiality of the letter. Our 'Zhou Tong Tian Xia' specially made envelopes can prevent most of the clairvoyance of the spiritual eye. Once the envelope is sealed, the special seal inside will be destroyed as long as it is opened. And the person responsible for delivering the letter definitely does not have spare seals to reseal it."

"If you are worried that the letter may not be delivered even though you paid for the postage, you can choose to pay half of the fee and let the recipient pay the other half."

"And if the letters you want to send to your relatives and friends really involve some important secrets, you can pay extra to use the encrypted jade slips and 'Flying Dragon Communication' service. At that time, a cultivator from the Zhou family will personally open the encrypted jade slips in front of your relatives and friends to ensure that the information inside will not be leaked at all!"

After listening like this, Meng Qing roughly understood what was happening.

Then he stared at the plaque that read "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" and after a slight hesitation, he quickly made a decision in his mind.

As a casual cultivator from Lanzhou, Meng Qing was naturally no stranger to the Lanzhou spiritual beast Zhou family, a large family of immortal cultivators. He could even say that he had heard of them like thunder.

He himself had once practiced in the Zhou family's mountain gate, and had hardly ever heard of the negative reputation of this family.

So he was still willing to believe in the credibility of this family.

Besides, he was just sending a letter, and the letter only recorded his longing for his wife and children. It would not be a big deal even if someone read it.

So Meng Qing quickly squeezed through the crowd and entered the store.

Not long after, Meng Qing sent his letter home for the price of two spirit coins.

He did not choose to let his partner pay the other half of the postage, but chose to bear all the expenses himself.

After sending the letter, Meng Qing continued to recuperate while counting the time and waiting for his Taoist partner's reply.

When he sent the letter, he asked, and the store staff said that it would take at least five days and at most eight days for the letter to be delivered to the address he wrote.

If there is a reply, he will receive it in about half a month.

But in fact, Meng Qing did not wait for half a month. Only twelve days later, he received a reply from his Taoist companion.

The familiar handwriting on the letter indicated that it was indeed written by his fellow Taoist priest, and there was also a portrait in the envelope, which showed his two children.

"If you think it's okay, please leave your magical aura on this magic weapon to confirm that you signed for it. In a few days, someone from the company may come to check with you to confirm that I have delivered the letter to you."

Just as Meng Qing was staring at the portraits of his children in a daze, the words of the monk who was delivering a letter brought him back to his senses.

After listening to the other party's words, he sighed that the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" trading company was really considerate, and at the same time he was very happy to leave his own magic power mark on a jade magic weapon.

Two days passed like this, and sure enough, another cultivator who claimed to be an inspector of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" trading company found Meng Qing, and brought the jade book magic weapon with which he had left his magic power mark, and confirmed with him that the letter had been received intact.

"Your company's service is so thoughtful!"

After Meng Qing confirmed again that he had received the letter, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the inspector of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" trading company in front of him with emotion.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xinyan, who came here from the Zhou Family Mountain Gate of Jiufengling as an inspector, also laughed and said, "Haha, if Brother Meng is satisfied, please help us recommend it to your relatives and friends."

"Of course I will. Meng will definitely inform all my friends about this!"

Meng Qing nodded seriously and agreed without hesitation.

A few days later, Meng Qing went to the trading company again and entrusted the trading company to send the eighty spirit coins and a letter to his Taoist partner, and paid the insurance and shipping fee of five spirit coins.

Seven days later, he received a reply letter from the business firm entrusted by his Taoist partner. The letter clearly stated that the money and letters had been received, and also advised him to buy more talismans for self-defense and not to send all the money back home.

After two successful attempts at sending letters and mail, Meng Qing took the initiative to become a salesman for the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" business, and recommended the express delivery service of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" business to all his friends.

And independent cultivators like Meng Qing are just a microcosm of the situation in various places at this time.

This new product of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" business is spreading to all parts of the immortal cultivation world at a very fast speed. Many immortal cultivators, especially independent cultivators and various immortal cultivation families, are talking about this new product.

As the person who led the establishment of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" trading company, Zhou Chun naturally knew the future trends better than anyone else.

From half-belief to complete belief, and enjoying the convenience it brings.

This is a stage that every monk who needs the services provided by the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" trading company must go through.

What he needs to do is to ensure that the letters and items from those early customers who are willing to trust the company are 100% delivered to their relatives and friends, and to build a good reputation so that these first batch of customers will actively help him promote the company.

This kind of word-of-mouth promotion by customers themselves is much more useful than self-promotion.

On this day, he looked at the statistics of the "Zhou Tong Tian Xia" business six months after its opening, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Very good, now the first perfect step has been taken. From now on, as long as we act according to the plan, there won't be much deviation."

Then, taking the data, Zhou Chun personally went to the Su family in Jiangzhou to meet the ancestor of the Su family and discuss cooperation with him.

The express delivery business may not seem particularly attractive at the moment, but over time, many forces will surely discover the business opportunities therein.

Even if it is difficult for others to imitate the Zhou family, there is no guarantee that there will be jealous people who deliberately cause sabotage.

So at least on the surface, Zhou Chun still had to bring in a Jindan-stage cultivator to support this business in order to withstand pressure from certain aspects.
