Twenty years of cold chain

The crisp chirping of birds outside the window and the rhythmic sweeping sound of a bamboo broom mark another ordinary morning.

Only Hu Shutong and Liu Zhiying were in the office.

This also means that Liu Zhiying, who has been away for more than half a year, has completed this stage of her mission. The subsequent specific execution is where Hu Yuntong excels.

Even Hu Shutong greatly admired Liu Zhiying's abilities. When he was in Yuncheng, he single-handedly handled three major tasks, and in addition to the above, he also oversaw the entire flower garden project. Whether it was his professional expertise, cold chain experience, or his ability to deal with all sorts of people,

It must be said,

He truly excelled at Tongxing.

Even though he rushed back overnight, there was no sign of fatigue on Liu Zhiying's face. He was filled with immense pride, having been looking forward to this moment for a long time. The meeting was not about trying to discuss anything, but about the pre-arranged negotiations between Hu and Liu.

"Senior, this time we are very grateful for the support of our colleagues in Yuncheng. They did a lot of work behind the scenes, otherwise we don't know what kind of trouble this land would have faced."

The "colleagues" Liu Zhiying referred to weren't those who offered help out of loyalty because of Tongxing's success, but rather those companies with deep business ties to Tongxing. These were the people who had ventured into the Dangpan Lake export business together back then; at that time, fifty-two companies shared the responsibility of shipping goods from the fishing port, many of which were from the Yuncheng area.

With its development over the past few years, the Yuncheng Transshipment Center has become a backup storage facility for many local businesses, providing them with greater capacity for storage and redistribution. Beyond these past connections, the second phase of Yuncheng also holds significant importance for these companies; the storage capacity established in the second phase far surpasses that of the current Yuncheng Transshipment Center.

Not to mention that the current transfer center also contains half of the cold chain logistics from the southern suburbs.

and so,

The No. 2 plot in Xizhen is not only a great asset to Tongxing, but also a valuable tool for the economic development of Yuncheng enterprises. It is not surprising that these locals used their connections to help them.

That being said, Liu Zhiying's involvement in this matter went far beyond that. He didn't neglect currying favor with various companies at different events, and he never forgot to contribute to the future prospects of this land. Although he was far away, he was extremely clear about Tongxing's overall direction, not only focusing on the southward transport of vegetables, but also telling the relevant departments in Yuncheng about the changes that the second-phase transfer center would bring to the local logistics industry.

Ultimately, this is just to illustrate one point: there is no room for peer-to-peer cooperation on this land; there is only considerable potential for upgrading and expansion. The scale of Tongxing's radiation has already taken off. Since it has gained much recognition for its radiation strategy, a second point cannot appear in the center.

This gave Liu Zhiying's actions a moral high ground.

It was only through the use of personal connections and networks that things had progressed to this point. Liu Zhiying knew that hard work was required here, and any effort or perseverance would be worthwhile, because he and Hu Shutong both understood that this was not just a piece of land, but the very foundation of Tongxing's future!

"I plan to submit your plan and the plan for transporting vegetables to the south together. There is no need to merge them. You can talk about the radiation system of Yuncheng, and I will talk about the major support for the transport of vegetables to the south. We can focus on Tongxing, with me as the starting point and you as the turning point, which will better highlight the importance of Yuncheng as a transit point."

"Moreover, Qingtong and Hongli have agreed to open a front-end warehouse for us. In this way, we will have a foothold in Qingnan, which means that there will be a secondary dispatch between Yuncheng Transportation and Tongxing. The business exchanges between Yuncheng enterprises and Tongxing will have a new support point. Our dispatch capabilities in Qingning will no longer be a concern. This may be a completely new situation for us."

Liu Zhiying's eyes lit up. As Hu Shutong spoke, he suddenly saw a real network, a network that had finally become clear after years of hard work, following the industry and taking advantage of the trend!

However, at this time, Liu Zhiying also sensed Hu Shutong's unusual emotions.

Qingnan is a source of deep regret for Hu Shutong.

It stands between Tongxing and Yuncheng, and due to Chunrong's "generous praise," the companies there are full of hostility towards Tongxing. Qingtong and Hongli, these two large front-end libraries, are like two nails driven into Qingnan, and their significance goes far beyond just being two large libraries between Tongxing and Yuncheng.

He further realized that after a long period of forbearance and concession, the person in front of him was finally about to take a firm step. Without flattening the thickets of thorns in Qingnan, there would never be a broad road to Qingbei!

However, that's all hindsight. Right now, the current application for funding under the eight cold chain support measures appears increasingly comprehensive. Through the combined efforts of the two over the past few months, Yuncheng Phase II has been enriched with more content, and the network that Liu Zhiying recognized is precisely located here.

Fish from the east and west, vegetables from the north and south—Yuncheng Transit Center, this golden crossroads, will write a more practical model for cold chain transportation.

The more relevant aspect lies in the interaction between regions. The benefits here extend to both Qingning and Yuncheng, remaining connected to the southward transportation of vegetables, yet not confined to its framework. It's important to understand that the demands on this large-scale production and sales system extend far beyond just Qingning's vegetables.

Generally speaking, there is a strong demand for exporting flowers from the southwest, potatoes from the northwest, fish and shrimp from the southeast, and grains and oils from the northeast.

Some might wonder, do grains and oils also need a cold chain? Actually, the development of the grain and oil cold chain is booming right now, with dozens of grain logistics centers investing over 100 million yuan last year alone. High-temperature transportation of grains makes them prone to fermentation, and oils, being even more precious, require careful quality maintenance. Under the overarching premise of food safety, every segment of the cold chain is growing.

Therefore, from the perspective of this nationwide strategic plan, this converged plan, like Liu Zhiying's operations in Yuncheng, has a higher and more far-reaching vision. What Tongxing is doing will be clearly differentiated from many competitors. Tongxing Phase I, Yuncheng Phase I, and Tongxing Phase II—the initial framework is already in place, giving the two of them more confidence in their vision than others.

Essentially, Hu Shutong and Liu Zhiying were doing the same thing: securing more funding for Tongxing's future development. As a teacher once said, money is never easy to come by. If you want the gold in a cup, you must be able to shine as brightly as it.

Amid the current financing frenzy, Tongxing exudes a sense of being a "lone warrior," a stubbornness and tenacity that can be attributed to an individual.

But in Liu Zhiying's view, we are doing very well now and have the ability to do so steadily in the future.

The influence of Yuncheng, however fierce and powerful, is only one aspect of the business. The most formidable and dominant position here is this small corner before us. The name Tongxing is the foundation of everything.

Fundraisers accuse us of being arrogant, and while we respond with humility, we truly understand what it means to be extraordinary. Capital only sees the present and wants immediate, dramatic change, but unlike us, it never listens to the past or hears the echoes of our experiences.

They would never realize that this is the origin of the internet!

I've loved cold chain logistics for twenty years.
