The founder of SF Express is Wang Wei, president of SF Express: Wang Wei, a Hong Kong native, as the chief helm of SF Express, is as legendary as the enterprise he leads. Searching for this person with an estimated net worth of over 65.438 billion on Baidu, the result is almost zero. As early as 2004, SF's turnover has reached 65.438+0.3 billion yuan. Although it has never been branded, in fact, Shentong and ZJS are no match for it. From 65438 to the early 1990s, Wang Wei, who frequently traveled between Hong Kong and the mainland, was sometimes entrusted by people to bring goods in and out of the country. After 24-year-old Wang Wei borrowed 6,543,800 yuan from his father, he partnered with several partners to set up a company specializing in express delivery, and on March 26th, 1993, he registered and established Shunfeng Company in Shunde, Guangdong, with only five people at the beginning of his business. Monopoly of Hongkong and Mainland China 1997, SF has partially monopolized Shenzhen-Hong Kong freight. On the land passage from Shunde to Hong Kong, 70% of the goods are carried by SF. 1997 before the return of hong kong, China railway express, as a state-owned enterprise, hoped to open the express mail market in hong kong by railway, but the people sent to Guangdong for negotiations ran into a nail and were finally rejected by the local customs. China Railway Express understands that there is a local enterprise that monopolizes almost all port-to-port business, and this company is SF Express. From the end of 2002 to the first half of 2003, Guangdong became the hardest hit area of SARS. At the beginning of 2003, SF signed a contract with Changjiang Express, becoming the first and only private express delivery enterprise in China to use all cargo planes. At present, Changjiang Express has five 737 cargo planes, all of which are rented by SF, and three of them are used to carry their own express mail. This all-cargo plane has a load of 15 tons and travels between three distribution centers in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou. In addition to the special plane, SF also signed agreements with a number of airlines to use more than 230 domestic routes for the transportation of express mail between cities across the country. The rental price of Guangzhou-Shanghai-Hangzhou-Guangzhou is above 20,000 RMB/hour, and SF has gained an overwhelming advantage in service timeliness. By renting a plane, SF Express has achieved all-weather delivery, with no holidays for 365 days throughout the year. In Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other trunk lines, even if you pick it up at 6 pm the day before, you can receive it the next morning. And SF's so-called high-priced ordinary consumers can accept it. After repeated price increases, the express mail within 500 grams only needs 20 yuan. Only make small pieces, not heavy goods. SF insists on only express delivery, only small items and not heavy goods. The high-end overlapping with the four major international express delivery companies will not be done, and the low-end of five or six yuan in the same city will not be done, and the remaining mid-end customers will be locked as the only target. The design of service products is also very simple. The postage within 500g shall not exceed the postage within 20 yuan. Home delivery, national networking, 36 hours. Some large multinational companies, such as Motorola, approached SF Express and hoped it would participate in the bidding of logistics projects, but SF Express refused to take orders. SF is famous for its high salary. The average monthly salary of delivery personnel is in the early stage of 1000, but it is also very common in SF, and 8. 1 100 million is not high. The salary of the management will be100000 yuan of the peer company, at least twice that of SF. Some ministers with outstanding achievements at the beginning of their business have failed to keep up with the development. Wang Wei never sweeps the floor, but he supports them with a high salary.
