Chapter 52: The Best of Both Worlds

Not only Yalikov was puzzled, but even Sun Xiaoyu didn't understand what Zhao Zhuo was going to do.

"Zhao Zhuo, what are you mysteriously looking for me for?"

Sun Xiaoyu asked.

"Of course it's something, and it's good for both of us."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu couldn't help but become interested, and asked with a smile:

"Why, you're not going to give me a few of these five trucks, are you?"

Zhao Zhuo shook his head:

"That's definitely impossible, hahahaha."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little disappointed and a little anxious.

After all, she came to buy trucks this time because there was a batch of timber that needed to be transported urgently.

And after Zhao Zhuo shook his head, the next sentence made Sun Xiaoyu smile:

"But aren't these five trucks just the right solution to your current transportation problems?"

"That's right!"

Sun Xiaoyu slapped his thigh excitedly:

"How did I forget this stubble!"

She only thought of solving the transportation problem by purchasing trucks, but she didn't expect Zhao Zhuo to help her.

"Zhao Zhuo, you mean, you can use these five trucks to help me deliver goods."

Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded:

"Don't you have a batch of timber to be shipped back to China from the Soviet Union, and I just happened to help you transport it."

"Then how are you going to charge for this freight?"

There is no free lunch in the world, and Sun Xiaoyu naturally thought of this problem.

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"The freight is easy to say, as long as it is enough for the cost of my trip.

However, you have to find the truck driver, and after the timber arrives, you have to ask the driver to help me drive the cars back to Mukden. ”

Sun Xiaoyu thought for a moment and nodded:

"That's no problem! We have several drivers in our lumber mill who can drive, and I can call them today to get them over. ”

The two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation agreement.

In this way, Zhao Zhuo's cars not only save transportation costs, but also don't even need to find drivers.

Sun Xiaoyu also solved the problem of timber transportation.

After the problem was solved, Sun Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Zhuo with deep meaning.

"What, is there any problem?"

Zhao Zhuo felt Sun Xiaoyu's gaze and couldn't help asking.

And Sun Xiaoyu shook his head:

"There's no problem with cooperation, I just think you're really interesting."

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"Oh, what's interesting?"

Sun Xiaoyu said calmly:

"I failed in this bid, and I was ready to leave, but I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity for cooperation between us. But you can think of helping each other with your competitors, and this pattern is better than me. ”

Hearing Sun Xiaoyu so frank, Zhao Zhuo also said:

"I have never regarded you as a competitor, because I have always believed that there are no eternal friends and enemies in business, only eternal interests."

As soon as he said this, Sun Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help muttering to himself and repeating it:

"There are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests..."

As he spoke, Sun Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Zhuo solemnly:

"Taught!"

……

In the next few days, because they had to wait for the arrival of Sun Xiaoyu's driver and the arrival of canned salted fish, several people arrived at the Dala Automobile Factory.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zhuo walked around the town.

And it was after this careful understanding that Zhao Zhuo was surprised to find that the industry of Dala Automobile Factory was far beyond his imagination.

As a state-owned enterprise in heavy industry, the Dara Automobile Plant used to employ several thousand people.

And most of these employees live in the town of Dara, so that's thousands of families, one or two hundred thousand people.

And that's not all. Because when the factory was doing well, these employees and their families were able to live well on the wages of the automobile factory alone, so no one went to other occupations.

As a result, outsiders flocked to Dara Town to work in services such as hairdressers, restaurants, clothing, department stores, and so on.

In this way, at the peak of the entire Dara Town, there were 40,000 or 50,000 people!

In other words, a car factory can lead to the emergence of a town!

Such is the influence of the concentration of mass production by state enterprises!

But how spectacular it was at its peak, how lonely it is now.

Today's town of Dara looks to the past. There were not a few people to be seen on the street, and the shops on the street, which were originally thriving, had also hung signs for subletting.

This kind of gap and impact after the decline of the state-run economy made Zhao Zhuo fall into contemplation.

It is true that the problems that the Soviet Union is encountering now are not that China will ever encounter.

However, Zhao Zhuo knew that Huaxia was about to usher in a wave of layoffs because of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.

At that time, countless employees who are ready to stay for a lifetime in state-owned factories and enterprises will find it very difficult to adapt to the change in identity and fall into confusion in the process of marketization.

And the most serious place in this situation is Mukden!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

From his own point of view, the wave of layoffs will naturally not have any impact on him, after all, his business is now thriving, and he fully enjoys the reform and the Soviet Union. body brings dividends.

But from the perspective of social responsibility, Zhao Zhuo felt that he should do something.

The great business is for the country and the people.

Zhao Zhuo is using his every move to practice this sentence.

……

After five days of waiting in the town of Dara, Sun Xiaoyu's driver and the canned salted fish from Huaxia were finally in place.

Zhao Zhuo and Kirill completed the handover and officially took ownership of the five trucks.

After that, Zhao Zhuo and Sun Xiaoyu didn't stay long.

Five trucks went straight to Tomsk, where there was a large shipment of timber waiting for transport in a hurry.

And after a few hours of travel, when I came to Tomsk, it was already evening.

"It's too late today, it's risky to walk at night, let's rest for one night and then go?"

Sun Xiaoyu asked Zhao Zhuo for his opinion.

And Zhao Zhuo naturally didn't care, after all, he was not in a hurry, so he nodded when he heard the words.

After talking along the way, Zhao Zhuo also had a deeper understanding of Sun Xiaoyu.

The Sun family was originally engaged in the furniture business in China.

Later, with the liberation of the Soviet Union. The price of logs in the Soviet Union fell again and again, and it was almost the price of cabbage.

My grandfather was keenly aware of this situation and quickly bought a state lumber yard in Tomsk that was about to go out of business.

Tomsk is only a little more than a hundred kilometers from the border and is close to a huge primeval forest, which makes it a somewhat excellent location.

As a result, the Sun family ran a furniture factory in China, and whenever there was a need for wood, they would directly collect wood from Tomsk and transport it back to China for processing.

This way of operating from logs to furniture has brought huge profits to the Sun family.
