Chapter 14 Classic Cars and Forklifts
Early Tuesday morning, Mu Dong was still sleeping in the yard office when he was woken up by the sound of a slamming door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I opened the door, it was Mu Huafeng.
"Dongzi, I drank too much yesterday afternoon and forgot to go to see the tractor. Lao Tan called me early this morning, or let's go and have a look today. ”
Mudong also forgot about the tractor yesterday. Originally, I planned to go to see the tractor after taking out the loan. As a result, it was almost noon after completing the two loans, and then I came back for dinner, and I drank a little too much in the afternoon, forgetting the agreement with Tan Lianfu.
Thinking of this, he said: "Uncle, I forgot yesterday, blame me, blame me, let's go together after eating, you didn't have breakfast, eat here together." ”
Mu Huafeng was not hypocritical, he had breakfast with Mu Dong, and the two went to the compound of the Tanzhuang Village Committee.
Tan Lianfu waited in the courtyard. When I saw the two of them coming in, I hurried to meet them.
Mu Dong hurriedly took out his cigarette, didn't hand it over and said, "Director Tan, I'm very sorry, I was delayed yesterday afternoon, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing Mu Dong say this, Tan Lianfu's original dissatisfaction disappeared all of a sudden. said, "It's okay, it's okay, Boss Mu is so busy, it doesn't matter if we wait." This tractor has not been sold for a day or two, so there is no hurry. With that, he led the two into the office.
There are two other people in the office, Tan Lianfu introduced them separately, one is the accountant of Tanzhuang Village, and the other is the custodian and driver of the tractor, which is the retired tank soldier.
The group got to know each other briefly, and then went to a large room on the west side of the office together.
Open two tall wooden doors. A Dongfanghong crawler tractor was presented in front of everyone.
The tractor is the old style of the previous one, and it is square.
But it really doesn't feel like a machine for more than ten years. The red lacquer is largely well preserved, with a shallow glow. Some of the corners of the paint are a little peeling, and the red paint has been carefully repaired. The glass of the cab was wiped clean. The round headlights on both sides of the front of the car are intact and shiny. The outside of the vehicle's tracks was polished to a shiny surface, and the seams of the tracks were clean, without even a trace of mud.
A perfect classic car!
Mu Dong was a little surprised, such a car condition definitely meets the standards of the museum exhibition, it is too clean.
Mu Dong looked at the custodian who was squatting on the side and smoking silently, and a trace of respect swelled in his heart. Veterans of the republic, do everything with a clean and neat mind.
The custodian's name is Tan Jiaming. At this moment, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
In the army, he was lucky enough to become a tank crew, and since then he has been obsessed with tanks. However, during a tank overhaul, he was accidentally injured, his leg was disabled, and he was finally discharged from the army.
When he returned home, he found an idle crawler tractor in the village. He instantly switched his fascination with tanks to this tractor. Although some horses and horses are not related, but this tractor can satisfy part of its own driving pleasure, after all, the tracks are similar.
So he took the initiative to go to the village and asked to drive the tractor, and he got his wish.
A few years ago, the car was occasionally used to plow the land, but now it is used almost once a year.
Tan Jiaming is still carefully maintaining this tractor. Occasionally, he started up, and in the midst of a loud roar, he operated the machine to move a few steps forward and a few steps back in the courtyard, and so on, with a little satisfaction in his heart.
But now, the village has made up its mind to sell it. In the future, even such a small satisfaction will be gone.
It's not that I didn't think about buying it myself. However, I have a physical disability, I can't do heavy work, and I don't have a stable income. This subsidy for the village custodian is only better than nothing. I really don't have this spare money at home.
Tan Jiaming looked at these people in the courtyard lonely, and thought, "It's best that this boss can't look down on it." ”
Mu Dong really took a fancy to it and was asking the price.
So everyone went to the office together and continued to discuss.
Tan Jiaming also stood up, limped and followed him to the office, squatted down at the door of the office, and continued to smoke, but his ears had already reached the house.
Tan Jiaming's demeanor fell in Mu Dong's eyes. Mu Dong generally understood Tan Jiaming's thoughts. He made a decision on his own.
Several people in the office have already agreed on the price. Mu Dong didn't want all the agricultural machinery and tools attached to the tractor, and Tanzhuang Village handled it by himself. Mu Dong only needs the front of the car and installs the push plate. The price is 10,000 yuan.
Tan Lianfu was very happy, and the accountant of Tanzhuang Village was also very happy, this pile of scrap iron was finally sold.
Mu Dong is very happy, such a good car condition, 10,000 yuan, too cheap!
Mu Huafeng was also very happy, he did this in the middle, he had face, and he also earned favor from both sides.
Tan Jiaming was unhappy. Hearing that the conversation in the room had been completed, he stood up, patted the cigarette ash on his body, and prepared to leave.
As soon as I took two steps, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Brother Jiaming, wait a minute." ”
It was Mu Dong, he walked up to Tan Jiaming quickly and said, "Brother Jiaming, I want to discuss something for you." ”
Tan Jiaming stopped and asked, "Boss Mu, what's the matter?"
Mu Dong said: "Brother Jiaming, no one in my yard drives this tractor, can you help me?"
"What, let me drive" Tan Jiaming called: "My body, are you willing to use it?"
It's not that Tan Jiaming hasn't looked for a job. Retired tank soldiers, in the locality, it is really too simple to find a job. Whether it is an excavator, a forklift, or other tracked wheeled construction machinery, tank crews can operate it proficiently. Or it's just a car repair or something, and it's also a good hand.
It's just that Tan Jiaming has a disability in one leg and is limping, no matter where he goes to apply for a job, people are afraid of taking risks. In case you fall or something, I can't tell. So I never got a job, and I spent years with an old-fashioned tractor in the village committee.
It's so surprising that there are now battlefields willing to use themselves and let themselves drive.
Mu Dong said: "Yes, Brother Jiaming, come and help me." This car, no one in the yard can drive, and no one can repair it, it really can't do without you, you can rest assured, the salary is ......"
Before Mu Dong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tan Jiaming: "You can pay whatever you want, I agreed, your yard is in Mu Village, right, I can go at any time." ”
Mu Dong became happy and said with a smile: "Brother Jiaming, then thank you." We have dormitories in the yard, including board and lodging. If you want to stay at home, you just need to run back and forth. ”
Tan Jiaming said: "I live in the yard, don't worry, I will work hard." ”
Tan Jiaming has also become a family, and his daughter is six years old. Now his mind is full of tractors, and he will definitely live in the yard. Besides, when I get a job, my wife will be happy.
Mu Dong said: "Then you will live in the yard temporarily, your home is close, you need to go home, you can come back at any time." ”
Well, the price is negotiated, the driver is negotiated, and all that's left is to pay.
The two parties signed a simple transfer agreement, the Tanzhuang Village Committee stamped, Mu Dong signed and pressed his fingerprint, and then Mu Dong paid 10,000 yuan in cash, the Tanzhuang Village Committee wrote the receipt, and the transaction was completed.
At noon, after installing the push plate, the Dongfanghong tractor, which had been silent for a long time, roared and slowly drove out of the Tanzhuang Village Committee. Tan Jiaming happily sat in the cab and operated the tractor to drive to the Mujia yard. Mu Dong rode an electric car and slowly led the way in front.
Back at the yard, Mu Dong introduced Tan Jiaming and everyone got to know him.
Now there is a wheeled forklift, a tracked tractor. Mu Dong asked Mu Dad to send a worker to be responsible for directing the unloading of the truck, and increased the unloading point to three, so that the forklift and the tractor would not wait for the unloading and then sorting, but the unloading and sorting would be carried out intersecting. Mu Dong plans to increase the number of unloading points to four in the later stage.
Mu Dong explained some safety problems to Tan Jiaming and had lunch together.
At lunch, Mu Dong received a call from the county agricultural bank to verify the loan situation, ask if he was satisfied with the service, and then asked Mu Dong if he needed a POS machine, saying that it was a customer who applied for a loan, and more than 200,000 yuan could apply for a free POS machine, which could be used to inquire, transfer and collect money.
Mu Dong was happy all of a sudden, he needed it, he needed it so much, hahaha.
Mu Dong asked about the situation of the POS machine in detail, and learned that a telephone line connection was needed, and Mu Dong said that he needed to confirm the telephone line, and he would apply if he could. Then I asked about the application process. Then hung up the phone.
Mu Dong has a landline phone at home, but the yard is too far away from home, so it is not very convenient to pick it up.
Mu Dong then called Mu Tongqing and asked him if there was a landline in the battlefield, and when he learned that there was a landline, he asked him where the phone line came from.
It turned out that along the outside of the dam, there was a telephone line. Mu Tongqing's call was received from this line.
That's great!
After eating lunch, Mu Dong first went to the town's Netcom company and applied for the installation of a landline phone in the yard.
Then Mu Dong took a car to Lunan City. In the technology market, a set of four-probe monitoring equipment was purchased. And agreed to install it tomorrow.
Mu Dong had already talked about installing surveillance equipment in front of the gang of "suspicious people" that day, and now from a security point of view, it is necessary to install surveillance equipment.
In the evening, Mu Dong returned to the yard. Drivers are still waiting in line to settle the bill. Mu Dong thought to himself that there would not be many days of using cash.
In the evening, Mu Daodao counted the number of unloaded trucks, 290 cars. The effect of multi-point unloading is beginning to appear.
After dinner, the forklift boss found Mu Dong, the two gossiped for a while, and slowly led the topic to the forklift, and the forklift boss said: "Boss Mu, I see that you bought a crawler tractor today, I don't know if you plan to continue to rent the forklift in the future, or do you plan to buy it yourself." ”
Mu Dong rented the forklift for 20 days at the beginning, and it expired in these two days, so the forklift owner had this question.
Mu Dongdao: "Brother Liu, to be honest, I plan to buy a second-hand one by myself, and you also know that if you lease it for a long time, the cost is too high." ”
The forklift owner's surname is Liu. Boss Liu heard this: "Yes, if you use it for a long time, it is better to buy it yourself." ”
After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Boss Liu said again: "Boss Mu, anyway, you are planning to buy a second-hand one, what do you think of my car?"
"You car?" Mu Dong said in surprise: "Your car is very good, why do you suddenly plan to sell it?"
Boss Liu said: "I have bought this car for more than three years, and the business was good in the first two years, but this year's business is getting worse and worse." In addition, I have been running around enough in the past few years, and I want to be more stable, if you need it, let's discuss it. ”
Mu Dong said: "I have no problem, whoever buys is bought, as long as the price is right." Also, my brother-in-law is learning to drive a forklift in Quancheng, and it is estimated that he will come back tomorrow, I will let him take a look, and if he thinks it is okay, we will discuss it again. ”
Boss Liu said: "What are you doing with that unjust money, if you knew it earlier, you would be familiar with it in my car for a few days, and it will be soon, but if you study in Quancheng, you can issue a formal vocational qualification certificate." ”
Mu Dong said: "It's still like this, I knew I wouldn't let him learn." secretly calculated in his heart, if this was possible, he could let Xie Donglin follow his brother-in-law to learn how to drive a forklift, and the two of them would change shifts.
After a pause, Mu Dong continued: "Boss Liu, this car, there is no loan or anything, right?"
Boss Liu said: "I bought this car with a loan at the beginning, and it was all paid off last year, you can rest assured, I have a full set of procedures here, you can check it." ”
Mu Dong: "That's good. ”
The two chatted for a while and went to rest.
On Wednesday morning, the tech market came to the yard with surveillance.
Four cameras, one is installed on the outside of the yard door, one is installed at the card on the inside of the door, the third is installed on the street lamp in front of the house, and the fourth is installed in the office, and the monitoring screen is also installed in the office.
At noon, the monitoring installation was completed.
In the afternoon, Huang Si got the news that the yard had installed surveillance.
Huang Si has been a little depressed these days.
After a few people left in a hurry that afternoon, they began to inquire around.
First of all, I found out that the county public security chief's surname was indeed Fu, and his name was Fu Yuanshan.
Then I inquired that Fu Yuanshan had several brothers-in-law, and I didn't know which one the Mu family kid was talking about that day.
Later, I learned that Mu Dong's aunt opened a restaurant in the county seat, and his uncle Wang Shaoqiang was also a famous person.
What's even more strange is that Huang Si learned that Wang Shaoqiang was inquiring about himself recently and had already inquired about his hometown.
Hey, this is equivalent to being beaten up! Huang Si lamented.
Looking back now, it was too risky to go to the Mu family's yard that day.
Now that I heard that even the monitoring equipment has been installed, Huang Si thought to himself, this matter is no fun.
You say that you have a broken yard, but it is actually some broken sand, what kind of surveillance? Do you have money to burn?
Mu Dong naturally didn't know Huang Si's thoughts, and if he knew, he wouldn't ignore him. He's watching the Netcom workers put up their phones.
Now the telephone installation is also much cheaper, more than 500 yuan.
Mu Dong remembers that when he first went to college, in 2002, he installed a phone at home for 1,200 yuan. Thinking about it again in another period of time and space, the landline phone was almost unused, and Mu Dong was stunned for a while.
The phone will be installed in a moment. Mu Dong then went to the Agricultural Bank branch in the town to apply for a POS machine. According to the phone reminder from the county agricultural bank, the POS should be applied from the loan location.
Director Sun of the Zhennong Bank felt a little strange about Mu Dong's application for POS. A yard, what's the use of this. Strange is strange, business still has to be handled. The 200,000 yuan loan that Mu Dong applied for was still lying on the account of the town's agricultural bank, and he didn't move at all. Therefore, the account balance is also eligible to apply.
Mu Dong quickly completed the formalities and received the POS machine.
It is said that it is a POS machine, but it is actually like a telephone. The name of the profession is "Golden Harvest Phone Transfer Treasure". It can be used to inquire, receive and transfer money. However, it is limited to the savings card of the Agricultural Bank of China.
When the afternoon was about to end, Zhong Guodong came back from Quancheng and came directly to the yard.
Zhong Guodong stood at the gate of the yard, looking at this busy field, and felt a little emotional. Although I also heard Mu Xiaoxia on the phone that the yard was open, the yard was too busy, and the yard was very lively. But when I really stood here, I really felt the hustle and bustle.
Xiaodong is really capable, I have only been away for more than ten days, and it is already so busy here, hoarding a huge pile of sand.
Mu Dong came out, and the two exchanged pleasantries. Then they went into the Westinghouse dormitory to chat. Settlement is going on in the office, it's too noisy.
Zhong Guodong first talked about learning, saying that he could already drive a forklift proficiently. Mu Dong then talked about some things in the yard, and finally said that he planned to buy Boss Liu's forklift, and then took Zhong Guodong to test drive the car.
Zhong Guodong's operation is indeed very proficient, and it seems that he has practiced a lot in school.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Guodong got off the forklift and said to Mu Dong: "This car is okay, if the price is right, you can buy it." It's more horsepower than the car I drove at school, and it was nimble in handling. ”
Boss Liu said: "Brother has a good eye. This car is produced by our Lunan Heavy Machinery Factory, the after-sales service is convenient, and the accessories are cheap. ”
Several people went to the dormitory again to discuss the price of the forklift. After some bargaining, the price of the forklift and the small fuel truck was determined at 78,000 yuan. Coupled with the cost of leasing during this period of time, 10,200 yuan, a total of 88,200. Tujili, Boss Liu, 88,000 yuan.
Finally, Boss Liu talked about the other driver on his forklift. The driver's name is Su Peng, and he works with him, with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan.
Boss Liu asked Mu Dong if he needed Su Peng to stay, and if so, he would call Su Peng over and discuss it together.
Mu Dong was naturally willing to keep Su Peng. With the expansion of the amount of sand, the frequency of use of forklifts has gradually increased, and a single driver simply cannot meet the requirements.
Su Peng came over soon and expressed his willingness to stay and continue to work. Anyway, it's all part-time jobs, it's the same everywhere. Moreover, Su Peng saw that Mu Dong settled cash for the driver every day, and felt that this boss had good credit, so he was naturally willing to stay.
Mu Dong also felt that Su Peng was good. Boss Liu's forklift, although it is driven by two people alternately, is actually operated by Su Peng most of the time, and Boss Liu occasionally drives for a while when he changes shifts and eats. So Mu Dong felt that Su Peng was down-to-earth and reliable.
All kinds of things have been negotiated, the two sides have drafted the transfer agreement, both have signed, Boss Liu has provided all the procedures for the vehicle, and the rest is to wait for the bank to open tomorrow and transfer the payment.
In the evening, Mu Dong called Mu Tongqing and invited him to come to the yard for a drink.
While drinking, Mu Dong told Mu Tongqing that from tomorrow onwards, his settlement price would be the same as others.
Since its opening, Mu Tongqing's settlement price has been 50 yuan per car, which is the lowest. However, because of the proximity to the Mu family's yard and the cheap freight, Mu Tongqing did not feel inappropriate, but gave Mu Dong a lot of help in some things.
So Mu Dong decided to return the favor.
Although the purpose of doing business is to make money, it is also important to be sophisticated.
After Mu Tongqing left, Mu Dong called Zhong Lianjie, the owner of another nearby battlefield field, and also told him about the unified price.
It's all from the villagers, so try to make a bowl of water as flat as possible.
Early on Thursday morning, the driver who arrived at the Mujia yard found that the yard had posted an announcement again!
In the end, he graduated from college, he likes to dance and ink, and he will make a red paper and make an announcement at every turn.
