“The Road of Thousands of Lanterns: Fourteen Years of Light and Shadow of Yuda Lingtong”

Article/Jiang’an

Preface: Three tables by the Pearl River

In the late autumn of 2010, under the rusty iron shed in Lanshi Port, Foshan, Lin Hai wiped off the mud on the container number and wrote the company name – “Yuda Lingtong” on the back of the customs declaration form. In the 30-square-metre old warehouse, three second-hand desks are assembled into an operating table. When Xiao Chen, an accountant and customer service, opened the company’s first official website page, the simple “Global Reachable” slogan was jumping on the screen, and a giant ship to Hamburg Harbour was passing outside the window.

Chapter 1 Light, light up from the crack

2013 Typhoon Night

The strong wind in Yantian Port is tearing the container suspension bridge. Lin Hai rushed into the dispatch room wrapped in a raincoat and stuffed the German version of the product certification into the captain’s hand: “This is the light made in Foshan. Please take it to the Black Forest!”

Official Website Witness: Customer Case Library-CA2013 still retains the photo of the courtyard lamp lit up in a German town, and there are cracks left by the night of the typhoon on the glass cover.

Chapter 2 Chinese heartbeat in the battery

2016 Munich Customs

Li Wei, the director of operations, watched the smart watch spark in the crusher. The red seal of “built-in battery = dangerous goods” turns millions of goods into metal residue. On the return flight, she organised an attack team with a charred circuit board.

After 238 days, when the electronic dog of Foshan Toy Factory barked for the first time in the Dubai Mall, the team’s original “Battery Lifeline Declaration System” is updating the 17th version of the operation instructions on the official website. South. The charred black circuit board is now embedded in the marble at the front desk of the headquarters, like lightning piercing the darkness.

Chapter 3 Fingerprints on the ventilator

March 18, 2020 03:47

At the cargo terminal of Paris CDG Airport, customs clearance officer Chen Ting video-connected to the ward in the mountainous area of northern Guangdong. The old man with a ventilator on the screen trembled his fingers and pressed the handprint on the waybill – this is the only “signature” specially approved by the EU medical channel. The wheels ran over 300 kilometres of freezing rain. When the morning light pierced the clouds, the alarm of the equipment sounded at the same time as the crowing of the chicken.

Eternal Commemoration: The waybill with the fingerprints of the elderly is permanently stored in the “Life Express” area of Enterprise Digital Museum.

Final Chapter: The Oath of the Thousand Lamps Wall

Walking into the Yuda Lingtong Hall today, you will be shocked by the whole “wall of thousands of lamps” – 238 lamps of various shapes are collected from customers around the world:

• Solar street lights in the village of Sahara
• The glazed wall lamp of the Sicilian cafe
• The argon lamp of the Alaska Observatory

The QR code under each lamp is linked to Global Service Map, and the transportation trajectory is displayed by clicking it.

“They travelled through the fire of war, bumped in the blizzard, and stayed at the customs.” Lin Hai stroked a Persian copper lamp and whispered, “But light will never breach the contract – this is the belief of logistics people.”

Official website seal

On the homepage of www.yudaip.com, there is a line of floating subtitles like this:

“When you send a lamp, we are the people of the lantern – 14 years of escorting 32,719 batches of light sources, the darkness has never won once.”
