Star Tycoon

Chapter 44 Exhaustion
"Mr. Tao, what's wrong?"

Tian Ersan walked over and started talking to Tao Chunyang.

Tao Chunyang quickly recovered from his shock and forced a smile, saying, "Are you General Manager Tian?"

"Tian Ersan, Ersan, the character is just a 'field' character." Tian Ersan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a swindler. Let's unload the goods. I'll pay you after we're done unloading. If you're not comfortable with that, you can unload a whole truckload and pay for the whole truckload."

Tao Chunyang confirmed that the young man was indeed the General Manager Tian from the phone call.

"Okay, unload the goods. Mr. Tian, ​​why are you running a company here? This place doesn't look like a business place at all."

Tian Ersan replied, "It's my own house, so I don't need to pay rent. Besides, I've only been running this business for about twenty days. The reason I'm cooperating with President Tao this time is to find a good location. I also feel that this place is not suitable."

Tao Chunyang still felt something was wrong. "Even if it's for starting a business, renting a place for a thousand yuan would be better than staying here."

Tian Ersan didn't want to explain too much. "I didn't think that much. Let's unload the goods. I'll ship a batch directly later. The courier next to me is just helping me with the work. I'll probably ship about five thousand cans of food today. I don't have time to chat."

Seeing that Tian Ersan was in a hurry to unload the goods, Tao Chunyang looked at the drivers and said, "Unload! Bring over the small trucks first and unload them."

The driver quickly reversed the smallest vehicle over.

Tian Ersan shouted at Zhou Shanshan, "You count."

Tao Chunyang felt these people were very unprofessional. "You can use the weighbridge to weigh the vehicle. I have the vehicle weight invoice here."

Tian Ersan quickly said, "Then there's no need to say anything more. That's good enough. There's no need to be so particular in business. Shanshan can just handle the shipping."

“Okay!” Zhou Shanshan quickly went to get the barcode scanner and was responsible for printing out the shipping and receiving addresses for the orders and pasting them on.

The canned goods are dispensed in packs of four, and they are all canned yellow peaches; you can just stick them on anywhere.

Orders placed in bulk are usually placed together, so just paste the labels multiple times.

Tao Chunyang quickly said, "Then let them unload the goods. I'll talk to General Manager Tian about our company's affairs."

Tian Ersan had no intention of going in for a chat; he quickly got to work and started helping out.

"President Tao, please sit down and rest. I'll get back to work."

Tian Ersan felt there was nothing to talk about. He joined a few old women and people from the courier station in queuing up, passing boxes of canned goods to the warehouse and the area near the entrance like an assembly line.

The canned goods were packaged in boxes specially made by Tian Ersan. Each can weighed a little over a pound, so twenty cans would weigh twenty pounds.

Each truckload weighs at least five or six tons, roughly the weight of an elephant.

Tian Ersan and more than ten people quickly spent more than an hour moving an elephant.

Tao Chunyang found it increasingly absurd; there wasn't even a forklift here.

What should have taken a few minutes turned into an hour and a half!

In the hour or so since he arrived, Tao Chunyang felt that there wasn't a single professional among them; they were all self-taught.

Tian Ersan placed his hands on his waist and stretched his waist a little, feeling a bit tired.

"There are over 13,000 cans in total. I'll pay for this first, and we'll unload the remaining two truckloads later. I'll send some goods out to make room first. Mr. Tao, are you in no hurry?"

Tao Chunyang breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were many unorthodox and irregular practices everywhere, being able to pay was a good thing.

"can."

Tian Ersan took out his phone. "I've scanned it for you."

Tao Chunyang moved his lips, "Give it to my accountant. Doesn't President Tian have an accountant here?" "No." Tian Ersan didn't seem to care. "There's not much to do, we don't need one for now."

Tao Chunyang didn't say anything more and soon received the full payment for the truckload of canned goods.

Truck drivers often wait for the recipient to unload the goods, and they are used to waiting. Waiting for a few hours is considered fast, and sometimes waiting for a whole day is normal, so they are not in a hurry.

Tao Chunyang initially had a very low opinion of this place, but after seeing Tian Ersan and his elderly, women, and men delivering packages together, he gradually realized that the business here was incredibly good!

They can send packages and load them onto trucks faster than they can unload them.

The canned goods, which had just been unloaded, were immediately packaged and loaded into the delivery truck.

Like stacking building blocks, they gradually filled the spacious truck.

After a truckload of canned goods was taken away by a delivery truck, a lot of space was freed up in the area in front of the store that was originally piled up.

By this time, Tian Ersan had been busy until almost noon, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Sitting in the air-conditioned car, Tao Chunyang looked outside. After seeing Tian Ersan running around and sweating profusely, he suddenly understood why retired cadres liked to marry their daughters to young men from poor backgrounds.

"This kind of person is really hardworking; they can succeed at anything they do."

The driver had been watching for a while, and said with a smile, "He can succeed at anything. I don't know how he ended up selling canned goods. With that kind of drive, he would have been in a prestigious university by now."

Tao Chunyang thought it made a lot of sense after hearing it, and then he thought about how his son had gone to university. Looking at Tian Ersan, who was doing hard labor, he quickly felt a sense of superiority.

"Maybe I'm not good at studying," Tao Chunyang smiled. "If you're willing to work hard and take risks, you're not much worse than someone who goes to school."

To prevent the canned goods from spoiling due to the high temperature, Tian Ersan also wanted the truck driver to go home early. Without taking a lunch break, he had the truck reverse to the door of the old house in Sanjianfang and unloaded the goods directly inside the house.

If there weren't enough people, they would recruit from nearby. A few old ladies went home and called out to the children on summer vacation, the women left behind in the village, and a few men.

Adults were fifty, women were forty, and children were twenty. They quickly solved the unloading problem by spending a little over five hundred yuan.

The group worked until three or four in the afternoon before finally finishing.

Tian Ersan distributed money on the spot. The men used the money to buy cigarettes and alcohol, the women used the money to buy food and fruit, and the children used the money to go online.

After finally finishing his work, Tian Ersan wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened a bottle of mineral water, drinking half of it.

"Boss Tao, let's settle the bill. If we cooperate again in the future, we can ship directly from your place. It will be packaged right after it comes off the production line, saving us the labor costs of loading and unloading it here."

Tao Chunyang smiled and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​you've worked hard. I think what you said is good. We need to talk about future cooperation. I'll treat you to a meal, and we can find a place to sit down and chat."

Tian Ersan declined directly, saying, "No need to spend money. Making money is not easy. I know how hard it is. I also trust Mr. Tao's big brand. As long as Mr. Tao solves the packaging and logistics problems and can ship on a large scale, I will send the orders from Shandong Province and areas north of Shandong Province over every day."

"This makes things much easier for me, and Mr. Tao also has business to do."

Tao Chunyang was still thinking of treating everyone to dinner and drinks, and going all out at the club.

After a few polite refusals, seeing that Tian Ersan didn't want to go out, Tao Chunyang had no choice but to agree.

Without any extra expenses, without having to eat, drink, or socialize, the business deal was finalized, and the full payment for all the goods was brought back with them.

But for some reason, I just felt a little uncomfortable, as if I wasn't doing business.

“We’ll open an online store too! We’ll vigorously develop online sales!” Tao Chunyang quickly set the development path for the new era.
