Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 276 Returning to the Millionaires
The goods were of course fine. Yan Hui wasn't afraid of Mr. Li causing trouble, after all, Mr. Li was his long-term supplier. However, Yan Hui felt that Mr. Li was unreliable, so he had to come and check on the quality.

It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Yan Hui had finally managed to win over Brother Yang. When he came back for the second time, he checked carefully and confirmed that Brother Yang hadn't fooled him.

General Manager Zhu was certainly an expert. After loading the truck, he checked the goods and was very satisfied. Although Yan Hui's batch of goods was expensive, it was definitely not a shoddy job.

Thousands of cubic meters of timber have been loaded and transported. Yan Hui and General Manager Zhu went to the bank together.

As per the agreed contract, General Manager Zhu transferred all the remaining payments to Yan Hui's account in one go, instantly bringing Yan Hui's account balance to over one million. After receiving the money, he immediately remitted half of the agreed payment to the factory manager.

After making the transfer, Yan Hui contacted Factory Manager Xiang, and about an hour later, the convoy set off.

This order was very profitable, and all the drivers received double the freight charges. Because the transportation distance was short, the journey went very smoothly. The convoy entered Shandong Province without incident and then smoothly connected with General Manager Geng's convoy, which then entered the paper mill's yard in a grand procession.

Nearly 80 trucks were parked in the yard at the same time, which Yan Hui found spectacular. The scene was reminiscent of Fengtian Railway Station.

"Mr. Yan, to be honest, I only feel at ease now that the goods have arrived. Don't worry, I've also taken care of some local people. Now that we've entered smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems." Mr. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"At the current unloading speed, I feel like we won't be able to finish unloading today. I just talked to Mr. Li and the others, and those who finish unloading before 8 pm tonight will leave together, and the rest will leave together tomorrow." Yan Hui looked around, feeling very calm.

"Yes, that's definitely a safer approach. Sending dozens of cars ahead of time will also significantly reduce costs," Mr. Zhu nodded.

"That's it."

Yan Hui left and, with a few salesmen, walked around the factory area, noticing that something was clearly amiss.

Many people are paying attention to this, and the specific reasons are obvious.

"Boss, something's not right here." Wang Yongjun noticed something was amiss.

"Hmm, they're clearly some people with ill intentions. Forget it, let's change the plan. We'll earn a little less, and all the drivers will stay here overnight and leave together tomorrow at noon." Yan Hui changed his plan.

Leaving dozens of drivers and their vehicles here overnight would cost at least 10,000 yuan more, but it would greatly improve safety.

After making the decision, Yan Hui returned to the paper mill and mentioned it to General Manager Zhu.

"Huh? It can't be that bad. Thirty or forty trucks going together isn't a problem." Mr. Zhu wasn't in a hurry anymore. Anyway, the goods had arrived, so he felt at ease.

“It’s still not safe at night, so I’ll cover the cost myself.” Yan Hui glanced at the loading and unloading area. “I just need Mr. Zhu to help provide some food and drinks. Accommodation is fine; the drivers can usually make do in the truck for the night.”

"Food and drink are no problem. We have a canteen here. Although we can't accommodate so many people at once, we can do it in batches. Since President Yan is so cautious, I won't say anything more." President Zhu nodded.

After discussing with General Manager Zhu, Yan Hui called General Manager Li. General Manager Li felt that Yan Hui was being overly cautious, but when he heard that Yan Hui was willing to pay for an extra day's shipping, he agreed.

At Yan Hui's insistence, the plan was changed, and all the drivers stayed at the factory, including Yan Hui himself.

By noon the next day, all the trucks had finished unloading, the factory gates opened, and the trucks began to leave one after another.

Under the clear blue sky, nearly a hundred trucks left the paper mill together, watched by many on the street, but nothing happened. Everything was perfectly calm.

Yan Hui's van followed the convoy out of the city, and he changed direction, heading straight for Jinan.

Once on the highway, Yan Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything went smoothly, with only a few close calls.

On the way, Yan Hui received a call from General Manager Li.

"President Yan, everything went smoothly! To be honest, I was worried too! When I came out today, I saw so many people outside, and I felt there was something wrong. Anyway, following you is definitely a profitable deal! I'll make the arrangements when we get back! Also, I'll take care of the shipping fee; you don't need to worry about it!" President Li was very generous.

At this moment, Yan Hui still had half of the payment to make to him, so of course he was being polite!

"Thank you, Mr. Li. You really have guts! I'll be back in Quancheng before tonight. I'll transfer the remaining payment to you first thing tomorrow morning." Yan Hui didn't stand on ceremony with Mr. Li. Since Mr. Li was willing to cover the shipping cost, he didn't need to act like a tycoon.

He calculated that Mr. Li's net profit from this trip alone would exceed 15 yuan, enough to buy a car!
Yan Hui himself made a profit of about 22 yuan, a figure known only to himself.

Even at Jianye, he had never made so much money in a single transaction, and he hadn't invested any of his own money!

Reputation, courage, and resources!
"Boss, this trip with you has really broadened my horizons!" Wang Yongjun exclaimed as he drove.

Actually, none of them knew the specifics of Yan Hui's trip from beginning to end, but after following the whole thing, they still felt that this matter was not simple! This was not a simple timber trade!
"Thank you for your hard work, running errands with me twice. When we get back, I'll give each of you a 1000 yuan bonus," Yan Hui said calmly.

"The boss is so generous!" Wang Yongjun's eyes lit up.

“You drive a lot, so I’ll give you an extra 500.” After saying that, Yan Hui looked at Kong Qingwei and said, “Old Kong, you should get a driver’s license when you have time. You’ll definitely need to drive a lot when you’re doing business.”

"Boss, I'll go back and learn it!" Kong Qingwei replied immediately.

Mr. Zhu's deal, including the one with Geng Zhongxing, went unexpectedly smoothly, but things were far from that simple.

After returning home, Yan Hui wired the money to General Manager Li the next day, ending the deal. Two days later, he heard that other freight forwarding business owners in the market had run into trouble.

The car was blocked, and a deliveryman who went with him was beaten up. It is said that he had to pay some money to get out.

These business owners lost face and money, but they never mentioned the incident, fearing it would damage the reputation of Jinan. They swallowed their anger and kept quiet about it.

Yan Hui had heard some of the specific details, but he didn't want to delve into them or investigate them further. He left these issues to history and focused on doing his own thing.

Time flies. Construction work at the site gradually came to a standstill in 2001 due to the freezing weather. Yan Hui's business for the year was also basically over. He settled accounts with his sales staff, gave them New Year's red envelopes, and 2001 came to an end.

Before he knew it, Yan Hui's assets had finally reached 100 million again. Although he hadn't been giving President Han any profits recently, it wasn't urgent. In any case, he finally had a million in funds.
