往事随风—南加州的华人快递
20年前,三个大陆人a,b,c 在洛杉矶一次聚会上相邻而坐,a 当时刚从美国一所大学博士毕业,b 在一家物流公司工作,c 刚从国内海关辞职来美国,还住在旅馆里。 闲聊中,c 说往大陆寄东西,到邮局去费用贵,语言也不方便,b 说来美国的华人越来越多,好像南加州华人区没有人做往中国的快递业务,a 说我正在琢磨做点生意,我们能不能合作做往中国的快递,一拍即合 ,三人合股立刻成立了一家快递公司。三人各有所长,a 负责美国国内快递业务的建立和运作,b 负责与航空公司打交道,c 负责联系中国海关及清关 。很快业务流程理顺,生意随即开始,这也开启了南加州的华人快递业务。
生意早期,他们买不起车,更雇不起人,就用自己的二手车到各代收点取货,每天工作十几小时。由于他们的勤奋,加上独此一家 ,设立的代收点都在华人区,客人方便,无语言障碍,还有价格只是邮局的三分之一,因此生意迅速扩张,货运量直线上升,一年多就走上了正轨,他们有了几辆大卡车,雇了二十几个人,钱也挣了几十万。人们 合作常常如此,一无所有时同心协力,一旦挣钱,矛盾就开始了。三人 随后散火,a 继续经营原公司,b,c 拿钱走人,分别又开了自己的快递公司,这样一家快递就成了三家。
a 经营原有公司, 虽分家受了点影响,但很快就恢复了元气,头几年干得风风火火,随后快递业的竞争越来越剧烈。快递业入门门槛低,当时中国经济快速增长,往中国的快递业务需求越来越大,促使快递公司如雨后春笋,遍地开花,由三家一下子增加到几十家,这样快递公司的利润自然就越来越少。 时间长了,a只能另想办法多挣钱。 当时他看到很多中国的产品寄到美国,虽然便宜,但质量不过关, 退货的很多,鉴于此,他在一些美国寄中国的快递清关时,声称是中国卖到美国的退货,原来应该交的海关税就规避了, 这样就省了或者说挣了不少税钱。纸包不住火,中国海关后来发现, 罚了他300万美金,虽免去了牢狱之灾,但也让他从此一蹶不起。
b 单干后主要做寄中国的大件快递, 做起来两年后,他将公司转卖给一做手机生意的台湾人。台湾人接手后,又增加了往台湾的快递业务。由于台湾人对大陆情况不熟悉,中国海关后来换人,他的快递老被扣,一直搞不定,慢慢其往大陆的快递生意式微。歪打正着,往台湾的快递生意却越来越火,后来包揽了南加州大部分往台湾的快递业务。b 在转让公司给台湾人后,回到了大陆上海, 用他在美国淘到的金,开始了他在大陆的物流事业,前些年公司己有数千人,以上海为中心,业务已经遍及世界许多大城市。
c 接下来也干得不错, 其公司三年后被国内一家排名前几名的服装公司收购, 当时这家服装公司想开辟美国市场,它本身从中国到美国, 美国到中国双向运输的量就很大。 c 在自己公司还保有百分之十几的股份,是二老板。 这时,国内来美国代购,网购的业务方兴未艾, 新的大老板公司资金雄厚,其业务发展很快,分公司遍及全美各大城市,成了华人最大的快递公司之一。 随之公司又想向其它的行业发展,但却犯了行规。 他们有个客人是个红二代,从美国往中国倒卖电子产品,生意很火,快递用的是这家公司,大老板知道红二代的货源后,就用低价将客源抢了过去。 红二代气不过,告诉这家快递公司大老板, 你只要回国(中国),就等着进监狱吧。说到做到, 几个月后,大老板和二老板回国, 一出机场就被捕,罪名是偷税漏税。大老板花了六百万人民币几个月后保了出来,且全身而退, 二老板c 成了替罪羊羔,在中国监狱里蹲了三年。刑满回美国后,c 来我公司聊天,原来的乌发己成满头白发, 苍老了二十岁,造化弄人,倒霉的永远是小人物。

The operation is very simple, the connection is fast, the sound quality is also particularly good, and there is no current or sound jamming.
2024-01-12 08:55:19--
The appearance design of the earphone is very delicate, and the white color is particularly elegant, with a high appearance. The main thing is that the sound quality is very good, the sound is very calm, nice, super love,

2024-01-04 09:23:05--
For driving, good shading effect.
2024-01-04 09:19:57--
These look awful. They don’t fit right. The shape is really weird. Color is miles off. They aren’t even suede. The shipping takes forever. Communication is bad. Just overall awful
2024-01-04 09:17:40--
Exactly as expected. I’m a very happy customers. Thank you
2024-01-04 09:16:55--

Great transaction. Reasonable shipment time and quality is good.

This handbag is very beautiful. I suggest anyone buy it from this seller. It's great
2024-01-04 09:08:27--
True and helpless comment: Cute quality! I am shocked that you cannot surpass its appearance and feel at such a price. I have made a detailed comparison of this item. I will definitely place another order and strongly recommend it.
2024-01-04 09:08:01--
This is my first time purchasing from here, and I am surprised by the authenticity of the product. If you want to purchase here, it's the right place. I know I may sound like I'm lying, like I want you to spend money, but I'm not. The goods were transported from a long distance and took about two weeks and a few days. Believe it or not, they are very good.
2024-01-04 09:06:40--
Absolutely beautiful
2024-01-04 09:05:18--
Very good quality, girlfriend is extremely happy. Only took around 11 days to get to the UK too
2024-01-04 09:01:56--
The size is just right. Like one
2024-01-04 09:00:57--
Very easy to use, and the sound quality is excellent.
2024-01-04 08:59:56--
The sound quality is very good, and the noise reduction effect is good.
2024-01-04 08:57:37--
I feel that the cost performance ratio is really good, mainly because the face value is also high! It looks good~simple and generous
2024-01-04 00:05:12--
Terrible experience with this seller. I bought one bag from this seller that was very nice so I decided to buy a couple more as gifts. When I received the two new ones, they smelled of dead animal. We have done everything to try and get rid of the smell and nothing has worked and it has been over 2 months and they are still I. The garage, smelling awful… When I contacted the seller, this was their response. As you can not see or smell (in this case) the product before it is sold, I would strongly urge purchasing from another seller.
2024-01-04 00:05:06--
Unsatisfied
2024-01-04 00:04:46--
Item came damaged - it had a noticeable scratch on the inside and I’ve now had to cover it up with a similar-color Sharpie. The box it comes in was in rough shape, which is to be expected, however, it is unusable. They also put a big ugly sticker on it that cannot be removed cleanly, so the seller should stop doing that. Overall, the item came faster than the expected delivery date, which is nice, but I’d have rather waited and received something of better quality. I don’t think it was worth the price paid, it should be less expensive. Also, these wallets don’t even have the logo stamped inside them in the credit card section like some other dupes do.
2024-01-04 00:03:37--
Came very quick and good condition. Small in crease in the one bag overall very good
2024-01-04 00:03:02--
My only problem is the handles feel like plastic
2024-01-04 00:02:50--
Was as described, took a while to get here, 5 or 6 weeks
2024-01-03 23:59:45--
vwey impressed
2024-01-03 23:59:06--

2024-01-03 23:57:35--
Very nice and good quality 😍
2024-01-03 23:56:21--
Awesome great quality. Long shipping time.
2024-01-03 23:55:59--
LOVE this bag!!! The quality of the bag is flawless
2024-01-03 23:54:20--
Took a while to come (over a month) but worth the wait!!! Very happy with the bags.
2024-01-03 23:52:15--
These bags are awesome for the price!! I ordered three more to give as gifts. They just took a long tine to get to me, but so worth the wait!
2024-01-03 23:52:03--
Really good quality. The zip on the inner pocket is a little stiff at times but honestly it’s not an issue. Smelled a lil for about an hour but nothing too bad. Stoked with my purchase. Thank you!
