Twenty years of cold chain

"One Hu and one Liu" are heading towards Tongxing's future on different fronts. Liu Zhiying's profound knowledge and years of experience in multinational companies quickly drove the overall progress of the R&D center.

This person's strength lies in the distinct sense of surging energy he exudes. Previously, the R&D center often focused on key priorities and overcoming difficult problems, sometimes to the point of over-concentrating on one thing, causing other areas to stagnate. But since Liu Zhiying arrived at the R&D center...

The progress is uneventful, and the reason is not complicated: he is in charge of solving the biggest problem.

Today, the complex flower garden has finally been finalized.

Liu Zhiying integrated a series of research findings from the R&D center regarding the cold chain for flowers, combining them with her own investigations and insights into cold chain warehousing and distribution of flowers.

The final plan has been finalized.

In the current flower industry,

The problem of "broken chains" in the cold chain is very prominent.

The lack of a multimodal transport system between urban and rural areas leads to higher logistics costs due to poor circulation. Cities also lack dedicated flower storage facilities, and flower markets with poor preservation capabilities have become the only source of supply for flower shops of all sizes in cities.

Last year, my country's per capita GDP reached US$3600. According to international experience, when per capita GDP exceeds US$3000, the proportion of consumption focused on enjoyment will increase significantly. The cold chain market for flowers is becoming increasingly promising. In today's popular parlance, it is a vast blue ocean market.

Liu Zhiying understands the logic here: whoever can better meet the needs of producers, sellers and consumers, and whoever can do a good job of connecting all aspects of the industry, will be able to pave a smooth road for the flower cold chain.

Moreover, this work has a major advantage: it is not constrained by funding, which allows for greater freedom of action.

It also allows us to put some more practical information on paper.

Ultimately, what Liu Zhiying presented was something even a layman could clearly understand: it's like a rope tied tightly in the middle of a pocket. Through a flower cold chain logistics park, it connects directly to flower production areas, using refrigerated trucks and the park's cold storage for primary product aggregation. Once inside the park, it undergoes internal fresh-cut semi-processing, radiating upwards to various consumer markets and providing third-party delivery services. In other words, it uses one terminal to serve two starting points, creating a large-scale foothold for both parties.

It's not difficult to explain, but in practice it shows real skill. The flower cold storage is Liu Zhiying's specialty. The temperature zone division is more refined than that of fruit and vegetable warehouses, the unique problems of incompatible categories, and even the packaging for flower storage and transportation are all taken into consideration. This one warehouse area and the surrounding storage and transportation structure are the highlights of the solution.

Furthermore, the Tongxing team possesses firsthand information regarding the location of the R&D center and market research in production and sales areas.

Depending on the specific circumstances,

The entire distribution system has undergone multiple simulations. It can be said that...

This is a plan that has been well-prepared for execution, both technically and in terms of the market.

However, although the plan passed Guan Wentao's hurdle, it still faced a thorny problem: if Guan Xiaoman did not agree, the matter would have to be put on hold.

Hu Yuntong discovered that he had been taking on his brother's tasks all year. It was one thing to take on tasks in the past, but now personal connections were also being used to get him involved.

The most striking feature of the Yuncheng Transfer Center is a large banyan tree. When the two parties collaborated to build the factory, they carefully considered the planning to ensure the banyan tree's location wasn't too out of the way, embodying the idea of ​​"mutual prosperity."

When they weren't too busy, Hu Yuntong and Guan Xiaoman would always come here to sit after dinner. Some red ribbons written with markers hung on the banyan tree. Although they didn't look very delicate, they carried a lot of memories.

Guan Xiaoman was unusually quiet today. She knew some things in her heart, but the people and things here made it difficult for her to leave easily.

"Sister Xiaoman, I've reviewed the plan. You can rest assured that it's produced by Tongxing R&D Center. There will be plenty of people to help with the subsequent operations. My brother will even send a team to be stationed on-site initially. As long as you give your approval, this grand venue, filled with the fragrance of flowers, will be handled perfectly!"

"I don't doubt Tongxing's standards, but I won't accept what Guan Wentao offered. You've worked hard over there, but once this matter is resolved with Guan Wentao, I think he'll remember President Hu's kindness."

Hu Yuntong paused for a moment, then said, "Sister Xiaoman, you know very well that you can't stay here forever. I'm here to share the pressure with my brother, and it's also a way for us brothers to build a business together. But in Director Guan's eyes, you're just wasting your time here. You need to do your own thing. Besides, Director Guan understands you. He put a lot of effort into this flower park. Aren't all the things written on these trees saying that it's what you aspire to?"

"Hu Yuntong, I think you're just hoping I leave. No matter who the South Suburbs sends, who can control you? If you start showing favoritism, you'll be squeezed into the mud in the South Suburbs!"

Hu Yuntong wasn't in a hurry to deny it. Instead, he laughed and said, "Sister Xiaoman, we've been through this lull in Yuncheng together. We've survived those days, so we'll only feel more secure going forward. Besides, you're in the east of the city and I'm in the west. We're only about half an hour apart by taking the ring road. Maybe when things get lively over there, I can lend a hand here."

"You're so kind? How are you going to help?"

"Besides, I will contact all our existing flower customers and refer them to you. Flowers should focus on flowers; it's not proper for them to be dealing with pork and shrimp all the time."

Hearing these words, Guan Xiaoman smiled knowingly, then stared intently at Hu Yuntong, "But I have serious doubts about how much effort you're willing to put into me."

"Just give the order, and we'll manage all the traffic for you."

"That sounds nice! But I know that once people are separated, they gradually drift apart."

"That's not necessarily true. My brother lives in the suburbs, and my sister-in-law lives in the city. They can help each other out seamlessly."

Just as she was nodding with satisfaction, Guan Xiaoman suddenly blushed.

"Hu Yuntong! Is that the same thing?!"

……

I've loved cold chain logistics for twenty years.
