Wu Kun then took his business card and inspected four freight companies in a row, spending three days consulting more than a dozen older truck drivers to learn more about their working lives.

In order to shorten the distance with the truck driver, Wu Kun deliberately changed into a more casual and simple clothes. He buys two bottles of drinks at a time, such as Red Bull sports drinks, and a small gift can quickly bring people closer.

Some truck drivers are more vigilant and don't like to talk much, while others don't like to answer questions. Therefore, when Wu Kun meets someone who loves to talk and is willing to cooperate, he will be very enthusiastic.

After consulting more than a dozen people, Wu Kun probably figured out their work situation, these trucks of medium and large companies usually have no shortage of orders, the difference is only the quality of the order. Orders that are too remote are generally not happy to go.

Because the more remote the place, the more difficult it is to find the order on the return trip, and it is fatal to run hundreds of kilometers empty. However, there are quite a lot of orders from remote places, mainly to transport raw materials or fruits and vegetables to cities.

In addition, freight is also divided into refrigerated containers, trailers, trucks, etc., and is divided into micro, small, medium, and heavy freight vehicles. Different types of trucks perform different tasks, forming a tight freight network that provides resources for the city's operations at all times.

Wu Kun felt that he still had to learn about the different types of freight, so he continued to embark on the investigation journey.

At the same time, people from the investigation department also went to major provinces and cities to learn about the local large-scale freight base stations.

"That's what the cargo base looks like, it's similar to the recruitment market. Zhu Huan took a sip of Coke, ran around on a hot day, and had no other benefits, and his body was a lot stronger.

As a professional investigator, Zhu Huan has participated in most of the product investigation work of Jiangyan Company, and has traveled almost all over the country and even the world. At first, he thought it was interesting and thought it would be a free tour, but soon he was not in the mood to "travel".

Because the company's upper management is very strict about the efficiency of the investigation, which is mainly reflected in the investigation time and investigation results. The time can't be too long, and the result must be good, which makes Zhu Huan almost non-stop.

He wanted to be perfunctory outside, but some of his colleagues were very serious.

The superiors took the results of their investigation and compared them to know who put in the effort and who played outside.

Jiang Yan's company's scoring system is very rigorous, specifically every time they go out on a task, those who are not serious are basically fired, and those who remain are capable and willing to work hard.

In addition, it is also a very painful thing to take the car a lot.

At this time, he was located in the Transfar logistics base in the northeast of Chengdu, which is the largest highway port logistics center in SC.

Thousands of vehicles and tens of thousands of drivers come in and out of here every day.

The five showrooms are divided into hundreds of compartments, where the owners of goods hang out the source information and the drivers look for business. The surroundings are dirty, and the air is filled with unpleasant smells.

Zhu Huan first pretended to be a truck driver, looking for information on the source of goods everywhere, and chatting with a driver if he had nothing to do. He did not say that he was conducting an investigation, but disguised himself as a peer of the other party.

In response to inquiries from peers, the vigilance of the truck drivers has decreased a lot, and they almost know everything.

Zhu Huan met the boss of a freight company who came to find the source information, so he immediately became interested: "Brother Ping, is your freight company still short of orders, I want you, the boss, to come and find it in person." ”

Brother Ping is a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin and rough hands, and he is obviously also a hard-working man, presumably starting his own business.

"If I don't look for the goods, the goods can still find me. Brother Ping said with a smile.

"It's not easy to do this business now, obviously there are a lot of supplies, but there are very few who are eligible. Either it's too far, or the quantity is not enough, or the price is too small, and I didn't find a suitable one for a long time here. Zhu Huan said.

"It's not easy, I used to be engaged in bulk cargo, the cost is not easy to control, and I make a few hard-earned money. Brother Ping regarded him as a self-employed person, and retail investors did not threaten him, so he chatted a few more words.

"Then you really have the ability, from driving to opening a company, how many cars do you have?" Zhu Huan said.

"Not much, just over thirty cars. "Brother Ping is modest on the surface, but he is actually quite proud.

can change from a driver to a company, with more than 30 trucks, in the eyes of ordinary people, his achievements are definitely high, indicating that he is a person with means.

"Can you save so much money to buy a car by driving?" asked Zhu Huan.

"No, if you want to save money by driving, don't think about turning over for the rest of your life. Speaking of which, Brother Ping suddenly got a little carried away.

"Then how did you get the money?" Zhu Huan said curiously.

"Well, it's nothing to tell you. Brother Ping has long wanted to share his entrepreneurial experience with others, and said: "I used to be like you, I only knew how to take orders for sports cars, and I slept in the car all year round, tired and not in shape, and the money I earned was barely enough to support my family." ”

"Later, I thought that I couldn't go on like this, not to mention how much money I made, my body was almost unbearable. Sometimes I can't pee for hours on the highway, but it suffocates me. There is no future in driving someone else's car, so I want someone else to drive my car. I mortgaged the house, borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and bought more than a dozen second-hand trailers. I relied on those dozen second-hand trailers, and I did it slowly, and now I have not only paid off my debts, but also increased to more than 30 vehicles. "Brother Ping is quite complacent.

"If only I had your skills, but it's not that easy to start a company. Zhu Huan said.

"That is, once I took a freight order for a hydropower station, the road was not easy to walk, and not long after the rain, a driver was careless and hit the mountain. Good guys, the humanitarian compensation alone cost me more than 300,000 yuan, and the order is gone. It's risky to do this, but you have to take risks, otherwise you won't be able to make money. Brother Ping said.

"Adventure?" Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

According to his understanding, there is a general problem of overloading in the freight industry, and it is estimated that this is what Brother Ping is referring to.

Day and night, long-distance driving, fatigue driving, overloaded driving...... Needless to say, this is a risk. The news of car accidents in China is often related to large trucks.

More than 300,000 people died, which is a big loss for the owner of the freight company, but for the family of the deceased, 300,000 does not seem to be much, and there is not much money left for the children to go to college.

That is to say, once something happens, there will be losses to the boss, the driver and the owner.

"The competitiveness of this industry is getting bigger and bigger, no more than a few years ago, and it is not easy for me to find a stable source of goods. Now those big bosses have more cars than me, better than me, and the owners don't look down on my more than 30 second-hand cars. Brother Ping sighed again.

"It's not easy to do anything, you are also a boss, and you will have money every day when you look for a source of goods here. Zhu Huan said.

"It's all bulk cargo, last time I had a truck from GX to Leshan, stayed in Leshan for two days and couldn't find the goods, and as a result, it took more than 200 kilometers to run to Chengdu, and it took two days to find the goods, and more than 170 kilometers to Jiajiang County, Leshan City to load. Fuel costs, bridge tolls, insurance premiums, parking fees, and driver's living expenses add up to more than 2,000. Brother Ping said.

"Often, you can make a little money. Zhu Huan said.

Brother Ping smiled, although his business was not good, he still had an advantage in front of a self-employed person like Zhu Huan.
