Analysis | These two courier companies have announced price increases one after another. What are the reasons?

  CCTV News:On the evening of October 10th, ZTO Express official WeChat published a Letter to Customers, which clearly indicated that ZTO Express Group decided to raise the express delivery price from now on due to the increase of transportation cost, labor cost and raw material price.

  Zhongtong and Yunda successively announced price increases.

  At present, Zhongtong has not announced the price increase in official website. The reporter asked ZTO Express by making an appointment for express delivery, and found that the price of an ordinary document from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to Shanghai was raised from 10 yuan to 13 yuan, and the express delivery fee from Nanchang to Beijing was raised from 15 yuan to 18 yuan. In addition, the express fee from Nanchang to most parts of the country has also increased 3 yuan money.

  Today, Yunda Express also released the "Customer Notice" announcing the price increase in official website, saying that due to the rising labor, materials and operating costs, the express price will be adjusted from now on.

  Considering the close relationship between the "Tongda Department" express delivery companies, some analysts believe that the possibility of several other private express delivery companies to follow up the price increase is not ruled out.

  Why the price increase? Rising labor costs and raw materials

  In the price increase announcements of the two courier companies, it is mentioned that the price increase is affected by the "labor cost increase". In fact, as early as June 1 this year, Yuantong, Shentong, Zhongtong, Yunda, Best Express and Tiantian Express collectively raised the express delivery fee by 0.15 yuan/ticket on the original basis. Receiving and dispatching are the main income sources of express delivery outlets, and the increase of dispatching fees means the increase of labor costs.

  For the collective dispatch fees of several express delivery companies, Xu Jianguo, vice president of Tiantian Express Network, once said that "this is an initiative that can stabilize the end staff and ensure customer needs."

  At the beginning of the year, the media reported that many couriers switched to delivery in order to increase their income, which caused the loss of personnel in the express delivery industry. The popular saying that "couriers earn tens of thousands of dollars a month" has also been falsified by data: On April 28th this year, the "Survey Results of E-commerce Logistics and Express Employees in China in 2017" released by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing showed that 74.6% of e-commerce logistics and express employees earned an average monthly income of 3,001-5,000 yuan, and 14.94% earned 5,001-6,000 yuan.

  In addition to the increase in labor costs, the "rising price of raw materials" mentioned by Zhongtong and Yunda in the announcement actually refers to the rising price of cartons. Affected by rising prices of raw and auxiliary materials and decreasing supply, the price of packaging paper such as corrugated paper has more than doubled year-on-year, so the price of a carton has increased by 0.2 to 0.5 yuan.

  After the announcement of the price increase, the share price of the courier company rose.

  After the price increase was announced last night, the share price of ZTO Express listed in the US stock market rose by 5.6%, and its market value increased by 545 million US dollars a day (about 3.587 billion yuan). On the morning of October 11th, the share prices of four express delivery companies listed on the A-share market all rose, among which the share price of Yunda, which has publicly announced the price increase, rose the most. The total market value of five listed express delivery companies increased by 11.955 billion yuan.

Jay Chou’s movie "All-powerful" was launched on August 1 and joined hands with Kunling to donate to Henan 3 million

       At 10:00 a.m. on August 1, Jay Chou’s racing-themed movie "All-powerful" was finally broadcast on the Tencent video network after its theatrical release on January 15. He and his wife Kunling personally went online to promote the movie. It is understood that this is 15 years after the release of "Initial D". Jay Chou once again touched on the racing theme and created a hot-blooded story about racing. He not only paid for his wife Kunling to realize his racing dream, but also recruited his fan brother Wang Junkai to play a cameo role and present a wonderful opponent play for the audience.

       Jay Chou revisited the racing film after 16 years, and joined forces with the Kunling couple to create a hot-blooded story

       The movie "All-powerful" was directed by Chen Yixian and produced by Jay Chou, produced by Liu Yuhong, Peng Xiaodao, Lu Yiting, Yang Huihua, and Zhang Sifeng. It starred Kunling, Cao Youning, Fan Yichen, Ke Youlun, and Gao Yingxuan. Wang Junkai, Jay Chou, and Liu Yuhong starred in the film. The film tells the story of Kunling playing the first female driver in the alliance, Lv Lili, and teaming up with Cainiao driver Du Jack to revitalize the increasingly struggling Lions team. As a producer, Jay Chou is not just a name. He not only participates in investment, but also plays the role in person. He often accompanies everyone to suffer together during filming, and even directs the play in person, which is very attentive.

       This 400 million movie restores the fast world of professional racing drivers, in which basically 80% of the scenes are drag racing on the racing track. To this end, the crew used a large number of professional racing cars and high-specification tracks, and the actors also paid a lot. During the filming of the racing scene, Kunling was claustrophobic in the small space in the car and trembled all over, but she did not complain and shout bitterness, but actively followed the director’s request and ran with fear. In her own words, she can go up the mountain and go to the sea to cut thorns.

       In 2005, Jay Chou, whose singing career was at its height, was electrocuted for the first time, starring in the movie "Initial D". In the movie, he grew from a Cainiao to a real racing driver. Once the film was released, it was a great success. Jay Chou also won the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best New Actor; since then, he has opened the all-round artist channel. After the filming of the film, Jay Chou also purchased the medieval car AE86 used in the shooting at that time for collection. This time, "All the Power" invited Wang Junkai to star. Jay Chou generously gave the AE86 to his fan, which is quite a taste of inheritance.

       Jay Chou and his wife donated to the disaster area in Henan 3 million positive energy idol positively affects fans

       On July 21, the heavy rain in Henan caused the disaster, which affected the hearts of all people. Many stars actively donated to help the disaster area. On the evening of July 26, the Zhengzhou International Committee of the Red Cross announced the allocation of targeted donations for flood relief. The list of personal donations above 1 million yuan shows that Jay Chou Kunling and his wife donated 3 million yuan. At this time, netizens found that Zhou Dong did a good job silently.

       In fact, Jay Chou started to do public welfare as early as 2003. At that time, as a popular singer, he participated in the singing of the public welfare song "Hand in Hand". The fans used in the concert were also auctioned and donated to a welfare organization in Tianjin. Since then, Jay Chou has also started his public welfare road. Some fans have sorted out Jay Chou’s donation records over the years. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Jay Chou’s personal donation and cumulative donation were about 42 million yuan. In 2013, he donated 1 million yuan for the Ya’an earthquake. In 2020, he donated 3 million yuan for the COVID-19 pandemic. In July of the same year, all the proceeds 22.53 million RMB on the live broadcast platform were donated to the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation.

       Jay Chou’s low-key charitable actions also had a huge impact on fans. On the day the disaster broke out in Henan, Jay Chou’s support club organized fans to participate in disaster relief. Fans not only raised funds, but also purchased materials and shipped them to the disaster area immediately.
