Courier by "money" to the throat

Wen/Zhang Shule

in the February 2013 issue of the "innovation times" according to media reports, the department concerned is organizing some express companies on the "Postal Universal Service Fund levy and use management interim measures" (hereinafter referred to as the "method") for advice. According to this method, after the courier company to collect the same city, different courier will be charged 0.1 yuan/piece and 0.2 yuan/piece, the employees of 20 people or less than 2 million yuan per year revenue below the enterprise can be exempted. The latest statistics of the national Postal Administration show that 2012 years ago November, the national scale of more than express business volume completed 5.03 billion pieces. In accordance with the average monthly growth rate of about 50%, the entire express delivery market is expected to exceed 5.5 billion last year, of which accounted for 73.7%, with the city accounted for 23.1%, international and RTHK accounted for 3.2%.　　　　    If you apply the above standards, the 2012 express companies need to pay the "element money" at least more than 1.2 billion yuan. This became 2013 years across in the rapid development of the express industry in front of a chain, express industry will be because of the huge "money" and stagnation?

The end of the express industry?　　　　     Doomsday, the basic become the recent stick of the express industry.     "2012 years without the end of the world, but almost become the end of the express business."　　　　 "A well-known express enterprise high-level words, now has become the express sector spit" method "implementation of the classic lines.　　　　     The tone of this line is the "expensive" elements of money.     A domestic private courier executive Analysis said, Express Enterprise gross profit in 10% to 20%, net profit in 5% to 10%. Now the express company basically depends on the amount of profit, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai each single profit of about five or six cents, and the most competitive Pearl River delta each single only about four cents.　　　　 If the postal fund is implemented, it means that at least one dime of the profit will be taken away, which means that one-fifth or even one-fourth of each single gross profit of The courier company would be taken away.     A regional manager of Yun da Express even calculate a sum of Cing: "A single express will earn a maximum of 5 cents, our average daily is 4 million, each 1 cents, every day is 400,000, enterprises have how much profit?"　　　　 "    So, the development of the courier industry will also be drained of blood, loss of cycling capacity."     More critical is the resulting chain reaction, wool out of sheep, in order to pass the contradictions, the express industry will inevitably through the way to increase the price of express, so that consumers for "money" to pay.　　　　 In fact, there are express companies, if you have to collect "money", they will consider a price increase of 1-2 yuan per order.     This will eventually lead to a consumer explosion. "itself in the field of online shopping, we have reduced prices to very low, and a large number of free courier fees to compete."　　　　 "An electrical business person told the author, once the fare increase, the pressure of the first shift to the electricity quotient, the original survival has been worrying, the end can only be disguised in the commodity" price "diluted express cost to solve the problem, can the net buyers will be happy to buy after the price of the goods?　　　　     In the express industry and related industries in a curse sound, China post for "money" interpretation of the same as always-and international practice.     State Post Office people declared that the express enterprises as a Universal Postal Service Fund collection of objects is an international practice. At present, the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries have established the Postal universal Service Fund. The United States Postal Service Fund is mainly funded by financial allocations, postal business income, postal bond issue income, etc. the German Government stipulates that non-postal enterprises licensed to operate postal services must pay the universal service Fund; Italy has passed legislation requiring operators to enter the postal market to pay a turnover of 1%-10% as a universal service compensation, Spain stipulates that all postal business operators should pay 1% of the turnover to the state.     "China's express enterprises are mainly concentrated in the profitable cities and routes to carry out postal services, the vast rural, remote and underdeveloped areas of the postal service is mainly borne by the postal enterprises, in order to embody the principle of fair competition, express enterprises should properly share the cost of universal postal services."　　　　 It seems logical to say so in the drafting notes of the approach.     seems to be the end of the express business has been avoided.

Unreasonable approach?　　　　     In order to avoid the end of the day, the express industry in the efforts to curb the formal introduction of the "method."　　　　     On the one hand, the well-known courier industry have used their microblog on the network to bombard the "method", and to seek media support, on the other hand, courier-related industry people are in the "approach" of the legal issues, the intention to sever the root of the implementation of the method.     China Business Network columnist Wang Yahi pointed out that this charge is contrary to the state "heavy tax light fee" of the fiscal reform direction. Those that rise to the national level and which have a mandatory levy should only be taxes. At a time when unreasonable fees and charges are gradually being wiped out, it is patently absurd that the post Office and the Ministry of Finance will not levy the fees inappropriately.　　　　 If it is true for the development and construction of the country's needs, can be levied, in the express companies have paid the tax, but also for the Midwest and rural areas of the postal services, but also a duplication of taxation.     and Courier Logistics Consulting Network chief advisor Xu from the so-called international practice of questioning: "Universal Service Fund concept was first seen in the 1997 EU-made postal directives. But the EU has made it clear that, in accordance with European Union postal directives and European court rulings, the European Union confirms that the express business and the postal Service are generally two completely different businesses. Therefore, even if the universal Service Fund is established, the object of universal Service Fund should be limited to the postal enterprises which provide universal service, and there is no association with Express Enterprises engaged in express business.　　　　 In the case of express enterprises in our country without entering the General Service market of postal services, the "interim measures" to the express enterprises Levy Postal Universal Service Fund does not conform to international practice.     More crucially, most experts and industry insiders believe that the current EU countries in Italy and Spain are still receiving the Postal universal Service Fund, but unlike China, the EU's practice is to either set the postal franchise, do not allow other express companies to enter, or open the market, But all the companies that enter the market have to pay "dollar money". China's approach is just the opposite.　　　　 On the one hand, according to the "Postal law", the post has a franchise scope, only because of the strong appeal of private express companies, the scope of the franchise has been delayed; on the other hand, the state post office has tried to subsidize China Post Group through the Universal Service Fund.     Such initiatives are quite a suspicion of subsidizing state-owned enterprises with the money of private enterprises. But China Post is actually not "bad money".　　　　 China Post Express Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chinese Postal Courier") IPO prospectus disclosed that China Post Group 2011-year total revenue of 258.623 billion yuan, net profit of 20.936 billion yuan.     Sina Financial columnist Song Wenzhu even ridiculed: "I don't knowWhat kind of harm will it do to China's economy, which is called policy and robbery? According to their logic, the people's daily should collect money from the Sina, the central troupe should collect the money from the small Shenyang, the public transportation should be to the private car, the wolf should collect money from the dog. Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot the fact that the wolf was dying.     But there are indications that the implementation of the scheme is Jianzaixianshang ...

Express industry's self-preservation attempt to express industry has arrived at the edge of the cliff can not be avoided, but this they have to fight a war. The most striking way is to be cornered.　　　　    Recently Shentong Chairman Chen Dejun, Yuantong chairman Yuweijiao have been shouted through the media, if you want to express the General Service Fund, express companies will inevitably be this part of the increase in costs passed on to consumers, so that each single express service prices.　　　　    This posture is actually a roundabout and aggravating, the purpose is in the express industry to resist the big background, by letting consumers directly feel the pressure, let hundreds of millions of people's pressure to force the "method" to shift or burden. Another way is to be poor and change. Some express companies are trying to exploit policy loopholes. "Method" for 20 employees below or annual revenue of less than 2 million Yuan Express enterprise spared, exempt from the Postal Universal Service Fund. "At present many express companies are joined nature, if the big demolition small, every enterprise may escape the fund."　　　　    "The industry insiders said anonymity, the current express industry peers believe that this is" no way to do. "　　　　    Whether it is used to protect the invisible public opinion pressure or the physical split plot, but all have their own weaknesses. The former has been in use since the beginning of the day has been a long, heavy, strong social repercussions, but did not see the actual impact of the method. And for the split method, there are insiders said, for the main regional distribution of small express enterprises, to "dismantle the big change" measures to deal with the new deal is feasible, but the problem is that this may be the need for large-scale development of express companies to breed more hidden dangers. But the most core of the express industry and the largest profit-making enterprises are not to avoid, can not be abused. At the same time, for the Division of the scheme, "the method" has already been preventive measures, the text of special mention, joined the Express enterprise should be the brand Headquarters Enterprise Unified Payment Service fund.　　　　    It also makes it more difficult for many companies to exploit policy loopholes. The state Post office has said to the media that the post law of 2009 has proposed the establishment of a postal fund, but progress over the years has shown that the policy is very cautious and will take full account of the views of the parties. Now it is only in the process of soliciting opinions, and it will take some time for the procedure to come down. This is perhaps the current, for the express industry is the only good news.
