Chapter 33: Big Project: Rat Control at the Wharf
“Big business?” Yang Wendong was very curious, but he couldn’t help but entertain him, so he said, “Sheng Wang, please come in.”
“Okay. "Wang Zhixian smiled, then walked in, looked around and said, "Yang Sheng, congratulations on starting your own business."
Yang Wendong said with a smile, "Wang Sheng is funny. , I don’t have much of a career at this point. I live here even if I live here.”
Wang Zhixian also saw the cardboard against the wall and the small pillow on the cabinet next to him, but he praised it: “ A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. There are more and more wealthy Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, and their fortune history has been recorded in newspapers;
Many of them, like Yang Sheng, started from scratch. Maybe, in a few years, Yang Sheng will become one of them. "
Yang Wendong brought over a cup of hot tea from the table at the back and said: "Haha, it's still early. A small business like catching rats cannot be that big. At most, it's just a matter of food and clothing. . ”
“This is not necessarily true. In fact, even for catching mice, there is a larger market. Wang Zhixian suddenly said: "It depends on whether Yang Sheng has this ability?" "
Yang Wendong was curious: "What market? "
Wang Zhixian said: "Actually, in Hong Kong, or anywhere, the thing to be most wary of rats is not warehouses, but some shipping facilities. ”
Yang Wendong understood and asked: "Wang Sheng is talking about ships and planes?"
"Yes." Wang Zhixian nodded and said: "There are some rats in the warehouse. At most, it will be an economic loss, and generally there will be no It’s very big, it’s just a loss of profit.
But if there are rats in aircraft and ships at sea, it will cause big trouble.”
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "I know this, but these companies should have complete measures for this kind of thing, right?
After all, Wang Sheng also said that these places cannot If there are rats, any means can be used to eliminate them, and there is no need to consider too much in terms of cost, unlike warehouses or ordinary places.”
Are rats difficult to get rid of? This is an eternal topic.
The answer is neither difficult nor difficult.
As long as you are willing to pay a small price, all mosquitoes in an area can be wiped out.
For rats, this principle is followed on airplanes and sea ships. In addition, these two industries are very profitable and they don't care about spending a little more money. They value the effect more.
As for rats in warehouses and even some homes, that's all. Being careful can prevent most of the losses. In this case, it is difficult for them to pay a high price to get rid of rats. Because it is not cost-effective from an economic perspective.
Including Yang Wendong's early mouse traps, they sold well because they were cheap. Because in an era when food was not good, a mouse trap cost three to five yuan a piece, and not many families were willing to spend that money.
Wang Zhixian nodded and said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, I'm really curious, you were born in a squatter, how do you know these things."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "I am relying on To make money by killing rats, of course you have to understand it.”
After reading some professional information on the Internet, you can really pretend to have a lot of B before the Internet era.
Although it may not be as professional as a real expert, the scope of knowledge is still too wide compared to people who can only rely on books to learn.
"Well, it's amazing. No wonder you can succeed." Wang Zhixian smiled and said, "I won't talk about planes, because they have nothing to do with what we are going to do next.
Let's just talk about ships. In fact, they can't reach it. Regarding the conditions you mentioned, many ships also go to sea with rats. It’s not that the boss of the shipping company is unwilling to spend money, but that he doesn’t have enough time.” Yang Wendong paused and suddenly asked. Then I thought about something and asked: "Is it because the rats got on the ship when loading and unloading the goods at the dock? There is no time to clean up later?"
There are no containers in this era, at least in Hong Kong. No, it takes a long time to get the goods off the ship and onto the ship, and moving the goods requires manpower and time. It can easily become a mess. It is too easy for rats to get in at this time.
Wang Zhixian nodded and said: "Yes, that's the problem. Some time ago, a French cargo ship suddenly lost power in the Pacific. The crew were frightened to death. Later it was found that a rat had entered the vessel. The electrical cabinet caused a short circuit
Although it didn't cause any serious consequences, I was still very worried. In fact, this kind of thing happens several times a year around the world. Even planes will have to make an emergency landing or be unable to take off because of rats. "
"The destructiveness of rats in these places is indeed terrible. Yang Wendong also agreed with this and asked: "You don't want us to go to the ship to kill rats, do you?" "
Wang Zhixian smiled and said: "Are you willing? "
"It's not a matter of whether I am willing or not. Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "You also said that the ship will stop at the port for a few days before setting off. You can't let me or my people go with the ship, right?"
Besides, ship and land are completely different environments. I can try to get rid of rats, but I don’t have enough time. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to get on the ship." Wang Zhixian smiled and said, "It's difficult to get rid of rats on the ship, but what if we can trap the rats on the dock?"
"Exterminate rats on the dock?" Yang Wendong finally knew what big business it was, so he asked: "The Hong Kong government has decided to eliminate rats at the pier?"
Wang Zhixian shook his head and said: "No, it is the Wharf Group, many international shipping companies, recently I am also complaining that there are too many rats in various piers in Hong Kong.
In fact, the three major piers in Hong Kong have also organized rodent eradication, and it has been effective. However, once the intensity subsides, the rats come out again, just like this time. The Hong Kong government is promoting rat eradication in Hong Kong, and the Wharf Group is thinking of doing it again.
As you know, the boss behind me has some connections, so I want to contract this business, but I still have to ask first. What’s your opinion?”
Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "It is actually not difficult to get rid of rats in the wharf. Even major wharves used to do it themselves. The same is true. As long as you are willing to spend more money, you can easily get rid of all the rats in the wharf.
But the problem is that the rats outside cannot be stopped. As long as there are people, residents, and food around the pier, the rats will definitely come."
"There are tens of thousands of people around the pier. It's human, it's impossible to change even if you think about it," Wang Zhixian said helplessly.
"Yeah, it's quite unsolvable." Yang Wendong has no choice. The infrastructure is imperfect, tens of thousands of people live crowdedly around the dock, and sanitation management is not good. It would be strange if rats don't overrun the area.
Wang Zhixian said: "However, my boss still wants to take over this business. Even if we can get rid of a wave of rats in a short time, it would be good. The Wharf Group is also preparing for a public tender, so Yang Sheng is willing to Don’t want to take responsibility for this?”

PS: To put it simply, the protagonist’s career is about to officially start. Before, it was just a hawker mode for survival, but now it will be a formal entrepreneurial journey.
Recent reading is not ideal, maybe it’s not fun enough, but I try to write it in a reasonable way, and write a true rags-to-riches story. It should be better in the future. Thank you for your support.
Regarding updates, Qidian’s rule is to update new books twice a period, and then update a little more after they are on the shelves.
In addition, this book also wants to impact Sanjiang. It has been several years since I wrote the book and I have not read it. It feels like a pity. I hope everyone can read every chapter as much as possible. I am really not happy, so please do it on Tuesday. Read for a day (the chapter of the day will be reminded.)
If this book can be published in Sanjiang, it will be updated with at least 300,000 words within one month of publication (promise!)
