Chapter Ninety-Nine: Running Away from Home
The office building of the Dongshan construction team was built, and the compound used as an office by Bai Ke was also empty.
Idle is also idle, so Bai Ke lent it to Huai Dongliang and used it well.
After Bai Ke and Lao Kan moved into the building one after another, they began to face the problem of staff shortages again.
Kan Mingxi and Feng Jun became pregnant one after another.
The most outrageous is Kan Mingxi, who is now in labor, as if she was pregnant before she got married.
Feng Yan, who was originally in charge of accounts in a bulk commercial bank, had to be transferred back to the construction team and settled in the office building.
Huai Dongliang was very efficient, and with the time on the road, he sent a telegram to Baike the next day after returning home, saying that it could be delivered.
The main means of transport at the moment is trains, because the cost of train transportation is lower.
But train transportation is extremely unreliable.
Passengers from the northeast to the southeast can take a train in just one day.
It usually takes up to a week to transport goods.
If you're unlucky, it's possible for half a month.
The safest thing is to transport by car.
It can be reached in three or four days at the latest.
But the cost of car transportation is too high, although only 10,000 shirts were bought, but if you memorize them, the entire 50,000 pieces will be a loss of money.
Of course, both Baike and Lao Kan lost money, and there was no need for additional capital injection, and the profits of the shirt factory some time ago were enough to plug this small hole.
But the white customer was not reconciled, he wanted to try to minimize the transportation cost of this trip.
In later generations, this is not a problem at all.
The overwhelming distribution of empty cars easily solves this problem.
But where to find an empty car for distribution now?
Since you can't find the business of distributing empty cars, let's create it yourself.
After Huai Dongliang finished delivering goods in the south, Bai Ke sent a telegram asking him not to come back in a hurry and run around in his hometown to see if there were any southern companies buying goods from the northeast.
At the same time, Bai Ke also asked Chen Li to let the salesmen of several of their commercial houses, as well as the salesmen of the big beauty Pan Hong and several of their shirt factories put down their work first and ran to the textile factories in the county to see if they had shipped goods to the south, even if it was half the way.
The reason why Baike is targeting textile factories is also targeted.
Because Huai Dongliang has a more developed clothing industry in their hometown.
The textile industry in the county, urban area and provincial capital is relatively developed.
There must be business intersections between the two sides, but I don't know if we can catch up with this point in time.
By the time 10,000 shirts arrived at the shirt factory, the distribution business contacted by the salesmen would have been able to fill most of the trucks.
The big truck that pulls the goods is a state-owned transportation company, and the driver is naturally easy to talk.
Bai Ke Hao Sheng rewarded the driver and asked him to stay for two more days.
Two days later, the distribution business contacted by Huai Dongliang also arrived.
All the delivery operations add up, enough for a large truck to go home.
In this way, the cost of transporting shirts can be offset by seven or eight percent.
Overall, how can an order of 50,000 shirts make a small profit for the shirt factory.
The most important thing is to win the credibility, and when it comes to the autumn order fair, you can do it again.
A week later, Huai Dongliang came back with his wife and children.
This trip, he didn't make any less money, and he had a big house prepared for him by Baike.
The large compound of Baike has been used as an office for so long, and it has been cleaned several times, although it is not very luxurious, but it is also considered high-end in the house.
Huai Dongliang had just moved into his new house, and hurriedly invited Bai Ke and Lu Gui to dinner.
This custom called "warm pot" in the north is found in both the north and the south.
This time, Huai Dongliang prepared a sumptuous meal, not only the bacon and cured goose he brought from his hometown, but also many seasonal vegetables.
Lu Gui couldn't tie his belt, so Bai Ke asked him to go into the house and lie down for a while, and he sat in the courtyard with Huai Dongliang to chat.
"It's a shame for someone as capable as you to just sell shoes. ”
Huai Dongliang smiled: "Isn't this with your help? ”
Huai Dongliang's board shoes are now in the peak sales season, he wholesales to various stores, a pair can earn one to three cents, and a wholesale of 10,000 pairs a month only earns one or two thousand yuan.
In the off-season, it was even worse, and Huai Dongliang had to go into battle by himself, going back and forth with various towns and villages to catch the market.
Bai Ke intends to pull Huai Dongliang under his command, but Huai Dongliang obviously can't give up the family's small business.
"Don't you have anyone else in the family to help you?"
Huai Dongliang sighed: "Our brothers are all in the north and south of the world, and no one can help anyone." ”
"Then what else can you do when you make cricket shoes at home?"
"We still want to make plastic sandals, but ......"
"Spray molding machines are too expensive, aren't they?"
"You know that. Huai Dongliang became more and more impressed with the white guest.
"I'll come to your house when I'm on summer vacation. ”
"Yes, welcome. ”
Since Huai Dongliang can't be pulled under his command, it is better to take the initiative to invest in his company.
Although the current policy does not allow private enterprises to go big.
But the South is much more flexible than the North.
Especially in the private sector in the countryside, there are many people with more than twenty or thirty employees.
The leading cadres in the south are also more enlightened than in the north, and they turn a blind eye to this seemingly unlawful behavior of the common people.
Bai Ke stayed here in Huaidongliang until the evening before returning home, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw his parents standing with sad faces.
Apparently something is wrong.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"
Qin Yongmei sighed: "Your grandfather hasn't come back yet. ”
Bai Ce said: "It's hard to find your uncle." ”
Recently, my uncle has divided the house, which is a two-top three-house house.
These two-roofed three-house houses resemble the two-bedroom and one-kitchen of later generations.
The layout of the house is basically a kitchen as soon as you enter the house, one corner of the kitchen is a small toilet, and then there are two bedrooms on the left and right.
The uncle and his wife are two, and they have two daughters.
This kind of two-top-three house is barely enough for the four of them.
If my grandfather also went to live there, my uncle's big house would have to be spaced apart.
Therefore, I was afraid that my grandfather would be in a hurry, so I didn't dare to tell him for the time being.
Although the daughters, sons-in-law, and grandsons are so good to their grandfather, their grandfather still thinks about his old son and thinks about living with his old son.
And although my grandfather is eighty-three years old, his eyes are a little flowery, but his ears are thieves.
When Bai Ce and Qin Yongmei whispered about their uncle in the big room opposite, they didn't expect to be heard by their grandfather.
When Grandpa heard this, he was angry: Okay, you turtle grass, you don't let me live with my old son, I will find my old son by myself!
Just like that, Grandpa dragged his half-paralyzed body and ran away from home.
"Grandpa will buy a ticket to take the bus himself, he must have gone to the city to find his uncle. Bai Ke comforted his parents and said.
But Bai Ke knew in his heart that even if his grandfather could take a car to the city, where would he go to find his uncle?
