Only online shopping, which express delivery do you use the most to receive goods? How many people choose postal ? Postal Express seems to be neglected by consumers among many convenient and fast private express companies. Moreover, postal express is characterized by its famous high and slowness, which makes many people seek other things. Since postal express delivery is not cost-effective and so slow, why is it not eliminated in the market competition? Instead, university admission notice and other important documents like to use China Post ?
Postal was divided into two departments before 1998, and was collectively called Postal and Telecommunications Bureau . However, at that time, due to the lack of postal operation business, there was almost no profit, while Telecom made a lot more profitable due to the popularity of telephones. Therefore, telecommunications always had to use part of their income to supplement poor postal services. Until 1998, telecommunications and postal services each had separate separate portals.
Telecom is relaxed on this side, while postal losses are extremely miserable. According to statistics, when Telecom and Post were just separated in 1998, China Post's losses were close to 18 billion yuan. Fortunately, the country came to save the situation and developed an 8531 plan for the postal service . The 8531 plan means that in the first four years of China's postal reform, a subsidy was allocated to the postal service every year, with a subsidy of 8 billion yuan in the first year, a 5 billion yuan in the second year, a 3 billion yuan in the third year, and a 1 billion yuan in the fourth year.
This plan to save the postal service was successful in the third year. In 2001, the postal service began to make profits, and the postal service opened its financial business, becoming Post Bank , increasing the profit channel of the postal service.
However, the reason why postal services seem deserted compared to private enterprises is because their respective business lines and business objects are different. Private express delivery companies are commercialized and make profits the main purpose . Therefore, they usually focus on commercial activities and open the market wherever they can make money.
China Post is different. Regardless of whether it is profitable or not, it is the first thing to do is to benefit the people. Since the 1990s, China Post's main business has been distributed in townships. At that time, it had more than 50,000 outlets and more than 350,000 convenient service points. At present, China Post's main strategies and strategies are still located in townships, with 73.5% of its service outlets and 78.5% of its delivery outlets being set up in rural areas. In 2020, China Post helped agricultural product e-commerce create sales scale of more than 40 billion yuan by opening up the logistics system of agricultural product e-commerce.
Now you understand why China Post is so low-key among private express delivery companies. Ordinary express delivery companies can only reach some villages with convenient transportation, while remote areas and areas that are prone to losses are supported by postal services. Some important places related to the country still rely on postal delivery of materials.
Mount Everest Post Office is set up on a mountain with an altitude of 5,200 meters, Sansha Post Office is set up on Nansha Islands , and at the southernmost end of the earth, China Post has set up a Great Wall Science and Technology Station. Even in space far away from the earth, China Post has a place in space station . Because these important information involving the country can only be accessed by China Post.
In addition to ordinary items, admission notices, party newspapers and confidential documents, etc., are also delivered by China Post, with only two words: Safe .
In order to safely deliver these important documents and items to the recipients, postman is the hardest profession. The places they walk often have remote roads and are inconvenient transportation, which requires long distances and encounter various dangerous situations on the road.
A postman named Qimeduoji often travels through Sichuan-Tibet First-time Queershan . He is mainly responsible for the business from Ganzi to Dege . For more than 30 years, Qimeidoji has been crossing this dangerous Sichuan-Tibet Line without any resistance. He is now 58 years old, and in more than 30 years, he has traveled between Ganzi and Dege more than 6,000 times.He can circle the Earth's equator for 35 times the distance he walks.
If it is just a journey, it will not cause people to worry, but Qimei Duoji often faces unknown dangers. Once, he met 12 gangsters on the road and fought with them, and was finally injured by the gangsters 17 times. Later, the ambulance staff were sent to the hospital for 8 hours of surgery before they woke up. After that, Qimei Duoji had a deep scar on his face, which existed like a brand. His left hand almost failed to return to normal, and finally, with the help of an old doctor, it took more than a year to resume normal activities.
Another postman from Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Han Nong took the plane and walked on the snowy plateau for 14 years and delivered more than 4.5 million emails. Once, he sent an admission letter to students in remote areas, and each student was particularly grateful after receiving it. When I went to deliver the fifth one, the Hanongduo plane traveled 100 kilometers and went through two hours. He handed the admission letter to the students who were crying, and it was already dark at this time.
In fact, China Post and Postal People have been serving the people in a low-key manner. Every time in a critical moment, the postal service is rushing to the front line. For example, when the epidemic broke out in Wuhan that year, China Post sent 250,000 masks and 5,000 sets of protective clothing.
Moreover, China Post is currently maintaining services to townships on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also updating its own equipment. Post now uses all-cargo aircraft models, with 71,000 mail-carrier vehicles. In addition, the postal service has launched next-day delivery and next-morning delivery services, and is working hard to change the image of slow transportation.
China Post serves people and provides safe services and convenience. It will not be eliminated in the market competition, but will become better and better.
