Chapter 1549: Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce Enters the Transportation Industry (Part )

Zhao Jun came in person to invite them. Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui did not say a word and hurriedly followed Zhao Jun into the venue.

With them was Xing San.

This guy is really strange. If it were half a year ago, even if Xing San kowtowed twice, the old man would not have gotten involved in such a matter.

But today, as soon as Zhao Jun called, Xing San followed. And when he entered, the old man held his head high and chest out, showing his business backbone's momentum vividly.

Although Zhao Weipeng is a big money sponsor, in this room he can only sit on the bench with Zhao Jun, Li Dayong and others.

There was nothing that could be done about it, as the women and Zhao Youcai sat at the edge of the kang.

Zhao Weipeng had no objection to where he sat, but when he looked at Zhao Youcai, who was sitting between the women, with Wang Meilan on the right and Jie Sun on the left, Zhao Weipeng felt strange no matter how he looked at him.

"Uncle Zhao." At this time, Zhao Jun called Zhao Weipeng softly and said with a smile: "We will be on the same boat from now on. Now you introduce our freight business to everyone."

"Jun." Zhao Weipeng raised his fat hand to signal Zhao Jun not to speak, and then Zhao Weipeng said: "Shouldn't you welcome us, welcome us?"

"Huh?" Hearing his words, not only Zhao Jun was a little confused, but everyone else was also stunned. No one understood what Zhao Weipeng meant.

"Tsk!" Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhao Weipeng smacked his lips and said, "I was just in that room, listening to you guys playing music and clapping. Now that we're here, you guys have to show some appreciation."

Zhao Weipeng's words made everyone laugh. Wang Meilan quickly stood up and greeted them, saying, "Quick, let's cheer for Boss Zhao."

Applause broke out as Wang Meilan spoke, and Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui smiled and clasped their fists to everyone.

After the applause died down, the satisfied Boss Zhao cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I am new to the freight industry. After the Chinese New Year last year, I met a boss who transported coal in Guanli, Northeast China. He was a freight company. Then, through him, I slowly explored this industry."

The main modes of transportation in Northeast China are freight and road transportation. Freight refers to train transportation, while road transportation refers to automobile transportation.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the three northeastern provinces have continuously exported timber, coal, oil and other materials to support all parts of the country.

Timber transportation in Yongan Forest District has existed for 20 years, but it has always been in the form of truck and freight transportation, that is, the timber is first delivered to Jiaohe Railway Station by truck, and then transported by train.

Xie Sun's eldest brother-in-law worked at the train station. It was said that the small Jiaohe train station was constantly sending and receiving trains day and night. The materials were transported as far as Shenzhen via the Jiaohe train.

In this form of truck and freight transport, Yongan Forest District does not need to take care of the freight transport. What Yongan Forest District needs to do is to deliver the timber to Jiaohe Railway Station.

But this is not an easy task. Just like when Zhao Jun met Jie Zhong and Jie Chen last year, the two brothers were doing transportation in the 77th yard.

The two brothers did not go directly to Jiaohe, but transported the timber from the forest area to the transfer station.

The timber transfer station in Yong'an Forest District is close to the Panshan Highway. You have to go through a lot of trouble to get there, and then the forest farm driver will deliver it to Jiaohe.

Therefore, this trip is very troublesome and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Manpower includes drivers from the forest farm, pole-pullers hired by the transport boss, pole-pullers at the transfer station, and material resources include cars and gasoline, which do not require manual labor. There are also pole-lifting machines at the transfer station... All in all, there are a lot of troubles here.

So when Zhao Weipeng proposed that he take over and transport the timber directly from the forest area to the south by freight, Chu Anmin and Zhou Chunming wanted to agree on the spot.

Because in this way, Yongan Forest District doesn't have to worry about anything. Not only can it save money, but it also saves worry.

"Old Chu asked me to transport it to GD, and I went there to negotiate with the government." Zhao Weipeng said, "When it is transported to GD, they will give me 20 yuan for one cubic meter of wood, plus the 15 yuan I get from your forest farm, so this cubic meter of wood transported from you to GD will be 35 yuan."

"Oh my god!" Zhao Weipeng just finished speaking when he heard Lin Xiangshun say in surprise: "No wonder Secretary Zhou and the others agreed to you, this is too suitable."

"Not so good!" Xie Chen also said, "We transported the wood to the transfer station last year, and it cost ten yuan per cubic meter."

In this comparison, Yongan Forest District did not give Zhao Weipeng much, and GD did not give Zhao Weipeng much either.

But Yongan Forest District can produce 35,000 cubic meters of wood a year. If one cubic meter earns 35 yuan, then 35,000 cubic meters is...

Seeing that Zhao Jun and the others were all looking at him, Li Tongyun said, "Uncle Zhao, if this business is successful, the work at our forest farm alone will make 1.225 million a year."

Hearing Li Tongyun's words, everyone in the room widened their eyes instantly, and a layer of golden light appeared on their eyeballs.

Although Zhao Jun and his team brought back one million this time, only a small part of that one million was the income of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the reason why they could make so much money this time was mainly because of the rare goods.

Leopard skin quilt and sable skin. Without these two things, the profit of the Zhao family chamber of commerce would not exceed 30,000 if it only dealt in bear bile and ordinary skins.

"Uncle, your business is so profitable." Zhao Jun said to Zhao Weipeng in surprise, "You are going to do this for ten or eight years, isn't that inappropriate?"

"I can't earn that much." Zhao Weipeng said with a wry smile: "Nephew, you only see the thief eating meat, but not the thief being beaten."

"The cost is high?" Li Dazhi asked, "Brother Zhao, I'm just curious, how did you get that car body?"

Nowadays, there are more goods than trains. Many cargo owners who want to transport goods by train have to queue up. Frequently, goods are piled up in the freight yard for many days and cannot be shipped. Zhao Weipeng can transport a whole trainload of goods, which is definitely extraordinary!

"Brother, you've got the point." Zhao Weipeng raised his hand, held up two fingers, and said, "Two hundred thousand."

"Ah?" Li Dazhi exclaimed, and then Zhao Weipeng added: "A train with fourteen carriages."

"Did you buy it?" This was asked by Zhao Youcai. This was the second time he spoke since he attended the meeting today.

Zhao Weipeng was stunned by Zhao Youcai's question, then he smiled and said, "What did you buy, brother? Do you think it's a big jeep? We bought it just like that."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed. Zhao Weipeng sighed and said, "Find someone and pay tribute to him. This train will be empty. I will hire a driver myself and run it for half a year."

"Oh my God!" As soon as Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, Li Baoyu was extremely shocked and asked, "Two hundred thousand for this?"

"That's a lot?" Zhao Weipeng said with a smile, "I asked someone to tell me this."

"Then you have 14 carriages on a train..." At this time, Li Dayong frowned and said, "How many trips do you have to make to transport all the timber in our forest area?"

"I have two trains." Zhao Weipeng raised his hand to gesture and said with a smile: "Last time, I came back and I did the calculations together with your Secretary Zhou. For wood, one cubic meter is 700 kilograms, so 35,000 cubic meters is 24,500 tons."

The weight of one cubic meter of wood varies from 500 to 900 kilograms, depending on the type of tree. When the forestry leader accompanied Zhao Weipeng to calculate the accounts, he took an average of 700 kilograms.

At this time, Zhao Weipeng continued, "One carriage can carry 60 tons, so 14 carriages can carry 840 tons. But your Secretary Zhou said that there must be some space in the middle, so it can't be filled so full. Then we will calculate it as 600 tons per trip, so we have to make 41 trips."

"Oh my god!" Li Dayong, the dispatch team leader, couldn't help but ask, "Can you finish the journey in a year? Doesn't your train have to stop at every station? It takes at least two hours to stop at a time."

"Can we do that? Why not two train cars?" Zhao Weipeng said, "It takes at least ten days to make a round trip. Two trains can run 20 trips at a time."

"Twenty trips, ten days for a round trip, that's two hundred days." Li Ruhai could do the math and said, "Two hundred days, more than six months, less than seven months."

"It's already autumn." Lin Xiangshun said, "Can it be finished before the winter production this year?"

"It should be possible." Zhao Weipeng said, "Your Secretary Zhou said it's no problem."

"Uncle," Zhao Jun asked, "Have you calculated how much money you will have left after you finish your work?"

"Uh..." Zhao Weipeng groaned, "For one car, I'll assign two drivers and four coal burners. The driver will get 400 yuan a month..."

"What?" Li Baoyu was dissatisfied with the salary of his colleagues and said, "What kind of driver? Four hundred yuan a month!"

"He's a train driver." Li Ruhai said, "If you can drive, you can also earn the 400 yuan!"

"It's not four hundred, it's four hundred and fifty." When Li Baoyu was glaring at Li Ruhai, Zhao Weipeng interrupted the brothers' argument with a wry smile and said, "Ten days of work, ten days of rest, an average of fifteen days of work per month."

"More than six months, seven months, two drivers..." Li Ruhai muttered to himself, but this time he couldn't figure it out in his head.

Fortunately, Li Tongyun was there. The girl said, "One person is three thousand one hundred and five, and two people are six thousand three."

"Yes!" Li Ruhai echoed, and then Zhao Weipeng continued, "Four coal burners, one hundred yuan a month, seven months is two thousand eight hundred. One round trip, eight tons of coal. Forty trips, that's three hundred and twenty tons. My friend provides me with one ton of coal, fifty yuan, so it's sixteen thousand yuan."

"That's all small money." Jie Chen suddenly interrupted, saying, "Uncle Peng, the key is to hire people. My brother and I used relatives in the village at that time. My brother gave them seven yuan for one cubic meter. If you find someone normally, you don't need that much. People seem to be willing to do it for six or six and a half yuan."

Although the forest farm paid Xie Zhong 15 yuan per cubic meter, as the leader, he had to provide food and drink for those people, as well as fuel for the sports car. Add to that various expenses, and he didn't make much.

As Xie Chen finished speaking, Li Tongyun took the initiative to answer, saying, "If we calculate it at six yuan per cubic meter, then the 35,000 cubic meters would cost 210,000 yuan just to hire people to do the work."

"Yes." Zhao Weipeng responded, and then said to Li Tongyun: "My daughter, calculate it. After taking out the 400,000 yuan that my uncle paid as tribute, how much will I have left?"

Hearing this, Li Tongyun calculated on paper, then said to Zhao Weipeng, "There are 591,300 yuan left."

"Spend another 100,000 yuan." Zhao Weipeng said, "I'll send a few people to follow the trains and arrange for everything."

These days, trains don't run randomly, they have to be dispatched. Public trains are no problem, but for someone like Zhao Weipeng, if he doesn't find someone, he might stop at any small station for half a year.

"Uncle Zhao." Suddenly, Zhang Yuanmin asked Zhao Weipeng, "You rented this car for 200,000 yuan, how long can you use it?"

Zhao Weipeng said that he paid tribute, which was self-deprecating. He could say that, but Zhang Yuanmin could not say that. To put it nicely, it was Zhao Weipeng who rented it.

"Before the New Year." As soon as Zhao Weipeng said this, Zhang Yuanmin looked up and laughed: "Hahaha..."

Zhao Weipeng: "..."

Zhao Weipeng was a little confused and didn't know what was so funny.

But then, Zhang Yuanmin said, "Uncle Zhao, you earn more than this."

"Ah?" Zhao Weipeng was startled, and then he heard Zhang Yuanmin say, "Xiaoyun just said 590,000, and you said you'd dig another 100,000, so that's 490,000? That's what you earned in less than seven months, right?"

Zhao Weipeng nodded, and Zhang Yuanmin asked: "The Chinese New Year you are talking about, is it the Gregorian calendar year?"

"That's not it." Zhao Weipeng shook his head and said, "It's just the Spring Festival."

"Then you can still work for a few more months, right?" Zhang Yuanmin said, leaving Zhao Weipeng stunned.

Zhao Weipeng was not from the forest farm, so he did not react. But the men and women in the room understood what was said.

"That's what Lingdang's father said!" Li Dayong said to Zhao Weipeng, "When our winter production starts this year, you can go and do the logging on the other side of the mountain. There is also a railway line on the mountain, so let the train pass by."

"Hahaha..." Li Dayong just finished speaking, and there was another burst of laughter. With the foreshadowing just now, Zhao Weipeng hurriedly looked at Zhang Yuanmin, and heard Zhang Yuanmin say: "Uncle Zhao, our forest farm will stop production before the New Year, you just pull all the wood for him. Then it will be equivalent to you renting a car for a year and working for two years!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhao Weipeng's eyes widened and sparkled when he looked at Zhang Yuanmin.

Zhang Yuanmin raised his hand and said to Zhao Weipeng, "Then next year, in 89, you should not rent his wagon. Wait until after the Chinese New Year in 90, then you can rent it again, and you will still have to work for two years!"

"Pa!" After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Zhao Weipeng slapped his thigh hard.

"Ouch..." Zhao Jinhui screamed as his father slapped him on the leg.

"Oh, Yuanmin!" Zhao Weipeng stood up, walked to Zhang Yuanmin, pushed Jie Chen away with his butt, and sat down at one end of the long bench, sitting on the same bench with Zhang Yuanmin.

Zhao Weipeng patted the back of Zhang Yuanmin's hand and said with emotion: "The last time I came, you were still lying on the kang, and I didn't get close to you. But in the first two days, as soon as you came to my house, I felt that you were not an ordinary person."

"Really? Haha..." Zhang Yuanmin was delighted by the compliment, and the others were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the big boss would also say flattering words.

"Yes!" Zhao Weipeng nodded heavily and said, "Your words have saved me 400,000 yuan! Otherwise, I will have to spend 400,000 yuan next year, right?"

"Four hundred thousand?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin immediately turned his head and looked at Li Ruhai.

"Ha!" The two looked at each other, their gazes colliding in the air, and Li Ruhai sneered.

He understood what Zhang Yuanmin meant. Zhang Yuanmin was saying that if you can earn 200,000 yuan, I can save 400,000 yuan!
