The time slowly came to mid-October, and the weather gradually began to cool down in July.

And in the far north, in Jinmen City, Chen Wu is sweating profusely in Jinmen Port in a dusty black vest and shorts of a color that he has long recognized.

Next to him, trucks are pulling containers past him in an orderly manner, rushing to major cities in the motherland, and delivering the goods in the cars to various consignees.

He had just unpacked and carefully inspected each box of goods, covered in stinky sweat, panting as he waited for his convoy to leave the port.

At this time, a young man who didn't look very thick trotted to him not far away, and handed over the mineral water he was holding in his hand: "Mr. Chen, come, drink water." ”

"Brother Daozi, don't call me Mr. Chen, it's not you, I don't know how miserable I am now!" Chen Wu took the water handed over and said helplessly.

The young man named Dao stood straight next to Chen Wu and said, "That's not good, one yard is one yard, you gave me such a good job, I should call you that way if you are my superior." ”

Chen Wu looked at the knife helplessly, shook his head and sighed, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the water.

The story was going back two and a half months ago.

Chen Wu set off from Rongcheng this time, and did not take a plane directly to Jinmen City, at that time he actually did not have a clear target location, so he simply took the train all the way north.

He also stopped in a limited number of two or three cities along the way, but he always felt that it was too far from his ideal destination, so he had to continue north.

It wasn't until he took the train again for the Nth time and crossed the Qinling Mountains into the northern realm that the passenger next to him was replaced by a guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

The security of later generations is completely incomparable in this era, but Chen Wu has not yet formed a vigilance, because he buys tickets as he goes, and he is also helpless to have no chance with the sleeper, so when he was napping one night, an accident happened.

Just as he was communicating with Zhou Gong in a daze, a sudden roar and the violent shaking of the stool woke him up from his sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he quickly stood up and got out of the way.

It turned out to be a guy of average size who got into a fight with the passenger with the monkey cheeks next to him.

As a result, it didn't matter what he was holding, the contents of the bag he was holding fell from the bottom of the bag with a thud.

He looked at the things on the ground in a daze, and then looked up at the sharp-beaked monkey cheek guy who had been pressed to the ground and the blade in the hand of the comrade who did it to him, and then he slowly came back to his senses.

It turned out that the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy next to him secretly took out a small blade while he was asleep, scratched his bag, and just as he was about to touch Chen Wu's things, the young man who was sitting opposite them and called the knife shot out lightning to subdue the guy.

It wasn't until the police came over and took a few people away and made a record that Chen Wu returned to the carriage with the knife with a thousand thanks.

Chen Wu chatted excitedly with Daozi all the way: "Brother Daozi, you are so powerful, I didn't expect you to be a soldier! You don't look like a bean sprout, I didn't expect your combat strength to be so fierce!"

The knife touched his head embarrassedly and said: "I can't help it with my size, how to eat and how to exercise, but when I was in the army, everyone actually called me bean sprouts at the beginning, but then they couldn't beat me, so they called me Knife." ”

"Haha, Brother Daozi, you are so good, then what is your real name?" Chen Wu asked enthusiastically.

"My name is Qian Jun, but you still call me a knife! ”

"That's okay, I'll call you Brother Knife in the future!"

Chen Wu kept asking various questions, and the two of them also returned to their seats.

"Brother Daozi, what rank did you retire?"

"I'm Sergeant Major IV. ”

When Chen Wu heard this rank, he was obviously a little confused.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Daozi opened his mouth to explain: "I joined the army in 92, and I was rated as a fourth-class sergeant major in 96. ”

The rank of sergeant major is a senior non-commissioned officer rank introduced by the country in 93. But in '98 it was canceled again. Most of the sergeant majors in later generations were the product of the reinstatement of the rank in 09.

Sergeant majors are divided into four ranks, with the fourth rank being junior and can be promoted according to the length of service. The period for promotion from level 4 to level 3 and promotion to level 2 is 4 years each, and the period for promotion from level 2 to level 1 is 5 years.

The military reform in 98 did not allow volunteers to serve beyond the time limit, and it is estimated that the knife will be dry for a long time and have to leave the big family of the army.

When Chen Wu heard this, he slowly came back to his senses.

He grew his mouth in surprise, pointed at the knife with trembling fingers, and said, "I...... Holy, the legendary king of soldiers?"

When Daozi heard this title, he rubbed his head embarrassedly and said, "It's just a little more powerful than ordinary soldiers." ”

Chen Wu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart now, a living soldier king was in front of him, this was much more shocking than the ones brushed on the teases of later generations, even if those were first-class sergeant majors, they were not as shocked as the national treasure in front of them!

So under Chen Wu's deliberate contact on the way, the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

When Chen Wu heard that Daozi was planning to go north to find a job, he directly and warmly invited Daozi to follow him to do it, anyway, he had to work hard to do what he was going to do next, where to do it?

After pondering for two seconds, Daozi readily agreed to Chen Wu's invitation.

So the two came all the way to the port city - Jinmen City. Get ready to put your skills to the test here.

The two of them have suffered a lot in the past few months, after all, Chen Wu, whether in the previous life or this life, has almost zero contact with what they are doing now, and they are using it at any time, but there are too many doors in the industry.

As for what he's doing now, just watch him follow the trucks around the port.

Yes, Chen Wu plans to do logistics, and although he is bumpy now, he can barely get started.

In this era, due to the restructuring of many state-owned enterprises, there were a large number of demobilized and laid-off personnel, and the two quickly recruited more than a dozen drivers in Jinmen, and then took the drivers and masters to drive the purchased trucks back to the rented company.

Next, the two of them ran around in various freight yards, constantly pulling customers to do business, and finally their efforts paid off, and they gradually became more active.

However, at the beginning, Chen Wu was not at all lost, because he was too unfamiliar with this industry, the freight contract he signed was dug and he ran several times in vain.

Fortunately, when he left Rongcheng, he took away more than 50 million funds, otherwise these few blows would be enough for him.

Fortunately, now that contracts and the like are no longer a problem, the joints of various departments are barely starting to get on the road, and the next step should be to develop slowly.

Chen Wu is well aware of the dependence of the Internet on logistics in later generations, so he made up his mind to take a good share of this industry, so all his goals now are towards fast logistics.

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and he can only do basic logistics and transportation of these large items now, and if he wants to show his strength in this industry, there is not much time left for him.

In 2000, the well-known express company that has been established is only short of Zhongtong.

In 2001, the establishment of Huaxia Logistics and Purchasing Federation officially opened the prelude to the rapid development of this industry.

And Chen Wu is to build his own logistics network before this.

What I am doing now, to put it bluntly, is just accumulating experience.

"Xiao Ming, when we meet again, I will definitely give you a big surprise!" Chen Wu threw away the empty bottle in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought silently in his heart.
