Chapter 29 Business expansion
For Yang Wendong, this business can be said to be a turning point in his life. It is not an exaggeration at all.
If you lose, your business will be robbed by others. Regardless of whether others can do a good job, your own career will have to find another way to start over.
If you win, your career will continue and you can get more funds. As long as you earn more funds, you can take other paths later.
However, for Wang Zhixian and the people behind him, this incident may be equivalent to picking up a hitchhiker while driving in future generations.
But for people who don’t have a car and can only walk, it can save a lot of time on the road.
......
The next day, Yang Wendong arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui again. Wang Zhixian needed to take Yang Wendong to various warehouses to familiarize himself with the environment and the people inside.
"Send us to Linde Warehouse." Wang Zhixian waved his hand, and a two-person rickshaw rushed over.
Wang Zhixian said to Yang Wendong: "The place is a bit far away and we have to travel a lot. Let's just take a rickshaw. I'll treat you."
"Okay." Yang Wendong naturally agreed.
In Hong Kong in this era, taxis already exist, but the number is relatively small, and they are almost only available on Hong Kong Island. Those who can take them are either rich or expensive.
Including parts of Hong Kong Island, various places are like the movies of the Republic of China. Many rickshaws are a way of traveling for the middle class.
Yang Wendong has seen many of them before, but he doesn’t have the money to take a ride.
The two arrived at the Linde warehouse soon. Wang Zhixian said to the driver: "I have to travel a lot today, so don't leave. Wait for me here. How much does it cost to cover you for a day?" ”
"Five dollars." The driver thought for a while and said.
"Yeah, okay." Wang Zhixian nodded, and then gave two yuan, which will be given later in time.
Yang Wendong was a little surprised. Five yuan a day was a high income. However, this kind of rickshaw, like taxis in later generations, all have license plates. It is estimated that more than half of the money must be paid...
Then the two entered the Linde warehouse, where one person took Wang and Yang for a walk to familiarize themselves with the terrain and some basic rules.
Half an hour later, the two came out and got on a rickshaw to the next warehouse.
On the way:
Wang Zhixian asked: "Yang Sheng, is there no problem?"
"No problem." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Based on my experience, I probably know Lin Dehuo The situation of rats in the warehouse. ”
With the practice in the past two months and the knowledge gained from later Internet schooling, he has become an experienced person in both theory and practice.
The actions of mice are regular. They choose the location of the hole, the route of travel, and through asking which area of the warehouse the goods are bitten badly, Yang Wendong can make some judgments. .
Wang Zhixian said with a smile: "It's amazing. When my boss took over this business, I was very confused. I only knew to put more mouse traps or apply medicine.
But the effect was very poor, and many warehouses were filled with There was food, but no medicine was allowed. In the end, we had to send a lot of people to find rat holes and boil water. It had some effect, but it soon stopped working. ""In fact, you are faster. You use people to search for rats. , is the best method." Yang Wendong nodded and said:
"But the problem is that the cost is too high, it requires a lot of people, and it also takes a long time to continue to eliminate rats. From the perspective of economic cost, It is not cost-effective
Especially now that it is spring, the temperature is rising, and there is no shortage of food in the warehouse. Rats breed quickly, and some even communicate with each other through underground pipes. You can’t hold on for long if you rely on people.”
Yang Wendong also knew that in previous years when there were many rats in warehouses, a large number of people would be organized inside many warehouses to hunt and kill rats.
There are results, as long as you work hard, but once you relax, it won't work. And there are a few people who are willing to go to all that trouble to catch mice, but many people have mice at home and are too lazy to catch them.
Wang Zhixian nodded and said: "Yes, there is so much knowledge in such a small matter."
"It is difficult to hunt any creature." Yang Wendong laughed. said with a smile.
Everyone hates mosquitoes and flies, but it is impossible to kill them all. The most you can do is to use screens and mosquito nets to isolate them.
The same is true for rats. Don't use building materials that rats can't dig to build a house. If there is some food inside, they will be attracted to it sooner or later.
......
It took 2 days, Wang Zhixian took Yang Wendong to visit 26 warehouses, 7 of which Yang Wendong had cooperated with before.
In other words, if he had not learned about this in advance, he would have been stunned by the sudden blow. It is estimated that the last few warehouses may not be able to save Live.
On the third day, Wang Zhixian and Yang Wendong got together again. After wrangling for a long time, they finally set a price: 26 warehouses, 700 yuan a week.
Wang Zhixian only pays, and Yang Wendong is responsible for everything else. However, if you need any help, you can ask for it. Wang Zhixian can also help with simple things. If it requires a little resource cost, it can be counted as money.
That afternoon, Yang Wendong immediately summoned a few people around him and informed them of the matter.
"26 new warehouses?" Lin Haoyu couldn't believe his ears. He didn't know much about what Yang Wendong had done recently, and he didn't know. They almost had to go back to sell rat traps again. .
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "It's not 26, 19 to be precise, 7 of them are the ones we have cooperated with before. In other words, we will be responsible for the task of eradicating rats in 31 warehouses. "
"I have a question." Zhao Liming raised his hand and asked like a child in later generations: "The seven are duplicates, that is to say, their prices are not the same as our previous prices. Is there any comparison? How come these warehouses agree to exchange for a higher price? ”
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "I don't know why, maybe it's because of the hard relationship, or maybe everyone knows it but doesn't tell them, so we don't want to mention this matter in these warehouses in the future.
< br>It has nothing to do with us. Even if we know it, there is no benefit, but it may be harmful."
Su Yiyi thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because. The amount is too low. This fee is just a drop in the bucket for the warehouse. "
"Yes, Yiyi, you can use idioms." Yang Wendong smiled. He spent a lot of time. For a long time, he taught several people how to read and recognize numbers.
Especially Su Yiyi, Yang Wendong taught her mathematics and occasionally taught him some idioms related to numbers and proportions.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "Brother Dong's teaching is better."
"Well, okay, let's get back to business." Yang Wendong paused and said: "Now our business has suddenly expanded by nearly three times, so there are also Several problems need to be solved.”
