Chapter 12: Recruiting Troops (Part I)
After dinner, it was already 6 o'clock, and it was still too late to see if it was time, "Dad, let's go and send them the payment, shall we?" Zhang Lan consulted his old man's opinion.
"Well, I should have returned it to someone earlier, so you guys should go quickly." Before Zhang Zongjun could speak, Yang Zhi interjected.
Zhang Zongjun was a little crying and laughing, "Did I say I wouldn't go?" ”
On the way to the orchard, Zhang Lan said to her old man, "Dad, when I get to Li Mingjiang's orchard, don't interrupt me when I speak." ”
"What the hell are you trying to do again?" Zhang Zongjun was surprised, what the hell is this precious son going to do?
"Oh, Dad, you don't care, anyway, when the time comes, you just listen to it and don't talk, can I still harm myself?" Zhang Lan didn't plan to let go when he was killed.
"Then it's up to you to do whatever you want." Zhang Zongjun didn't recruit this son, there is a genius son who is good and bad, and the advantage is that he can hear praise anytime and anywhere, and satisfy his little vanity; The downside is that I haven't found any opportunity to exercise my father's rights with this son, which is frustrating.
The two of them soon arrived at the orchard, although the apples had been picked, but there were also a large group of long-haired and flat-haired guys such as geese, dogs, and sheep in the orchard, and there was no place to put them at home, so Li Mingjiang still had to watch here.
"Uncle, we're here." Zhang Lanren hadn't arrived yet, and he had already shouted.
"You little guy is here," Li Mingjiang smiled when he heard this, took out a few small stools from the house, and placed them next to a stone platform that served as a table, "Sit down, sit down." As he spoke, he had already flushed the water.
"Big brother, go and call the big brothers in front of you, I'll bring the money over." Zhang Zongjun said.
"There's no need to rush, it's not in a hurry anyway." Li Mingjiang pushed.
"How can it, let's give it quickly, otherwise I won't be sure."
"Okay, you sit here and drink some water, and I'll call them." Saying that, Li Mingjiang nodded, turned around and walked out.
After a while, a few people came laughing, Zhang Zongjun took out a pack of cigarettes, put them on the stone platform, turned around and moved a few stones as stools-the stools were not enough, "Everyone sit down." ”
After a few people sat down, Zhang Zongjun handed over several envelopes with their names written on them, "Let's order and see if there is anything wrong?" ”
"That's embarrassing."
"Don't you still believe in you, big brother?"
A few people were talking nonsense, but they took it unceremoniously in their hands, opened the envelope and lit it carefully.
"How can there be so many?" Li Mingjiang nodded and asked, "Is it too much?" ”
"yes, that's a little bit more." The others also nodded one after another.
"That's the case, this time the business is okay, the price is quite right. Besides, everyone took good care of me, and I gave the goods to my brother without seeing the money, and I might have complained to my wife when I went home," said a few people here smiled lightly, it seems that there is really such a thing, "The big guy trusts me so much, I can't be sorry for everyone." According to what was said in advance, if it sells well, it will be given to everyone at 8 cents a catty, and the money will not be much. ”
"I'm so embarrassed, but it's much better than the price it used to sell," a few people said, understanding what was going on. Instead, they asked, "Brother, I still have some apples, or the two varieties from last time, do you still want them?" ”
"Yes, according to the price this time, it's still 8 points, and I want as much as I want for the big guy." Zhang Zongjun said briskly.
"Where do I estimate that I can still have 10,000 catties, and I will give it to you, brother." Good guy, this brother has so many more, it seems that he spit out a little bit last time.
"I still have 8,000 pounds."
"I still have 12,000 pounds."
"I still have ......"
Everyone reported the number of apples they could still take out, good guys, don't say you don't know, you were shocked when you said it, so after doing the math, you actually made up 50,000 catties, a full 25 tons, enough for two carts to pull.
"Everyone," looking at the noisy crowd, Zhang Zongjun stood up and said, "I will tell you something first. ”
"Huh?" Everyone is a little dumbfounded, do you want to lower the price this time? Didn't you just say that it was good to pay 8 cents a pound, do you have to regret it immediately?
"That's the case, this time I have to owe everyone money first, and I can only wait until I come back to give everyone the money." Zhang Zongjun explained.
"Whew......", everyone breathed a sigh of relief and despised it fiercely: I was startled, and I thought it was going to lower the price, so scared that our little hearts are still jumping around. Don't pant for breath in the future, it's okay to be scared of people.
"It's okay, don't we still believe you, big brother? It doesn't matter if the money is coming back. One of them shouted.
"That's it."
"Sell it to the big brother, you don't worry."
…………
After chirping for a while, Zhang Lan felt a headache, and said that two women were worth a thousand ducks, and now it seems that these seven or eight men can add up to 20,000 ducks, which is better than women in terms of quantity and quality.
"Then I'll thank you", Zhang Zongjun didn't seem to be affected, "There is another matter, if you still have relatives and friends who have a fruit, you can tell them, and give them them at this price, or the old rule, come back and give money after selling the goods." ”
Who of these guys doesn't have a few relatives and friends, and everyone originally planned to sell their fruits at a good price to show off to them, but now it seems that Zhang Zongjun still wants it, so he can help them again after showing off, why not take advantage of this good opportunity? People's vanity began to play tricks, and Zhang Lan's demonic little tail began to wave continuously.
"My brother-in-law still has some apples at home, and it is estimated that he can make 10,000 catties."
"My second brother's family can probably produce 20,000 catties of pineapples, do you want them?"
"My sister-in-law's ......"
Everyone was in a commotion again, and finally counted, there were 70,000 catties (35 tons) of apples and 50,000 catties (25 tons) of pineapples, which took a full five cars to pull away. Zhang Lan was overjoyed, she didn't expect there to be so many.
"Then let's go back and prepare tonight, and try to load the car the afternoon after tomorrow," Zhang Zongjun said, "Those relatives and friends can also let them help." ”
"Hehe," everyone laughed, understanding the meaning of Zhang Zongjun's words very well, and felt that this idea was very good. I'll inform them when I get home tonight, and a few of them thought to themselves.
After laughing for a while, everyone took their money and left, and it is estimated that when they go home, they will buy a few catties of pork for their wives and children to satisfy their hunger.
After everyone left, Zhang Lan turned his head and said to Li Mingjiang: "Uncle, my father wants to discuss something with you, but he is not too embarrassed to talk to you, let me tell you." ”
"What's the matter? Your father is embarrassed to say that he wants you to come," Li Mingjiang smiled happily, "Do you need money, then use it first, I'm not in a hurry to use it." As he spoke, he brought over the money in his hand.
"No, no, no", Zhang Lan waved his hand, "It's not about money, my dad wants to ask you for a favor." ”
"Oh?" Li Mingjiang was very curious, "What's the help, let's talk about it, I will definitely help if I can help." ”
"That's the case," Zhang Lan explained, "Uncle, you have also seen that from now on my father will definitely be more and more busy, and he may need to receive goods in several places at the same time, for fear that he will not be able to do so, he wants to ask you to help him." When he is not there, you help him with the quality of Kaka, check the checks, pay attention to the head, and don't let others give us a shortage of catties and shortages. Sometimes you may have to go to other villages to help collect fruits, organize a source of goods, or something. My dad said that he would eat at noon, pick up and drop off in the morning and evening, give you a penny commission in 20 catties, and according to the calculation of the fruits in our town, you can organize at least one truckload of goods a day, so that you can earn at least four or five hundred yuan a month. ”
"This matter, this is easy to do, when the time comes, these things in the orchard will be watched by your three mothers, anyway, I'm idle, as for the money, forget it, what is it for our brothers to mention money?" Li Mingjiang said.
"That's okay," a lot of things are like this, you have to say it at the beginning so that you don't have to cause disputes, otherwise you can't see anything at the beginning, but if something goes wrong, it's troublesome, and who will give you nothing to do, help for a day or two, and do it for many years? No one is stupid. Zhang Lan also wants to tie this peasant entrepreneur who has achieved a small business in his previous life to his chariot, "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts, and besides, you can't let go of a big mess of work at home and work in vain, this is what you deserve." It's just that the price is not good now, otherwise my dad would like to give you more. ”
"That's okay, but this money is a bit too much, isn't it?" Li Mingjiang was a little moved, this is a lot of money.
"It's not much, besides, the work of harvesting fruit is about 8 months a year, and it can't be done for a whole year."
"And when are we going to start?" Li Mingjiang was a little eager to try, since he had already agreed, and it seemed that the future seemed to be very ambitious, he had to hurry, after all, it was all about his wallet.
Many years later, in an interview, Li Mingjiang, who is already a world-renowned billionaire and business manager, was asked by a reporter why he chose to follow Zhang Lan, a giant with huge influence in the economic, financial, scientific and technological circles, and military circles. After the news was broadcast, global public opinion was in an uproar, and countless business owners beat their chests and cried, regretting why they didn't have such good luck? also cast a mysterious color on Zhang Lan's already mysterious identity.
"From the day after tomorrow, when they pick the apples, you will help you to weigh it, and keep an account." Zhang Lan said.
"Okay." Li Mingjiang nodded in agreement.
On the way home, Zhang Zongjun asked Zhang Lan: "How did you think of finding me someone to help?" ”
"You should consider the future development, according to the current situation, you will not be busy in a month, instead of rushing to find a helper, it is better to find a training now, and this is far from enough, we still need to find more people. Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, although it is a bit biased, but basically it is still like this, what we have to do is to work hard. Zhang Lan spoke eloquently, with a solemn and confident face, and her slightly shining eyes revealed maturity and wisdom that did not match her age, not at all like a child who was only one and a half years old.
"Oh", Zhang Zongjun is completely immune to his son's frequent strange words, and it is not strange. The facts have proved that what the son said is right, no matter what he does, the final victory belongs to the son, since this is the case, then listen to the son, although this is a little embarrassing. At this time, Zhang Zongjun also ignored the fact that his son was only one and a half years old.
