I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 50 Elephant Brother Instructs Sister Yu

Zhang Daxiang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He was really short of drivers right now. There were many people with driver's licenses in the Zhang family area, but not many were willing to leave their old jobs. These days, drivers in any company don't earn low salaries.

Whether driving for a government office, driving for a boss, or simply leading a shift, their income far exceeded the average income level.

Therefore, unless they really can't find any connections, it doesn't really matter whether they drive for Zhang Daxiang or someone else in Zhangshi Village.

Furthermore, Zhang Daxiang is unlikely to provide drivers with a monthly base salary of 2,000 yuan right now, so from a personal perspective, it's definitely not possible for them to offer their help to Zhang Daxiang.

So right now, Zhang Daxiang really needs qualified drivers. They mainly need to run to construction sites, Shizipo, Zhangjia Canteen, and warehouses. The core business is the storage and transportation of "Jinsangye Warehousing". After signing contracts, many local bosses need small vans instead of large trucks.

This quantity requirement means it can't be met with just a dozen or twenty vehicles.

Old Zhou has now contracted the storage and transportation of loose items for "Jin Sangye Warehousing". He has registered a company specifically for this purpose, and Zhang Daxiang has invested a portion of the shares to help him get the business up and running.

As for the storage and transportation of major clients, generally speaking, major clients have their own fleet of vehicles or cooperative logistics companies. However, at this moment, the major clients of "Jin Sangye" are, to put it bluntly, Xiao Changgui and Su Jingkai, who came from Jingxiang Road before. Moreover, it is still uncertain whether these two can truly become major clients.

At this point, we can only say that they are suspected to be "major clients".

However, with Zhang Daxiang present, Xiao Changgui and Su Jingkai couldn't very well refuse to give him face when he introduced the freight company.

After all, any large truck that meets the standards to enter and exit the "Golden Mulberry Leaf" warehouse must have a relationship with Zhang Daxiang.

The biggest shortage of drivers right now is essentially in "Jin Sangye's" own fleet of vehicles and the logistics company registered by Lao Zhou.

Before the end of the year, we definitely need forty people, because there are a lot of loose parts business. Zhang Daxiang is now almost competing with old warehouses with outdated equipment and small warehouses with small scale. While consuming less electricity, the price is only a little more than that of large old warehouses. Many ambitious small business owners who didn't have the opportunity before are now flocking to us.

Each household might have a few hundred kilograms, and if three or four households add them together, they might be able to collect a ton of pig's feet, chicken feet, duck gizzards, or the like. Even if the monthly rent for these scattered storage spaces is only 200 yuan a month, it's still more reassuring, just like foreign-owned cold storage facilities in big cities.

The reason is that Zhang Daxiang's inspection and quarantine are quite strict, which is what those who want to do long-term business want to see most.

I'm not afraid of you being expensive, I'm just afraid that if you're expensive, you're not worth the price.

The scattered warehouses were completely snapped up in just three or four days. Jiyang City and Jinghai Prefecture across the Yangtze River were the biggest sources of customers. One warehouse was still being prepared when the owner from Jinghai Prefecture brought people over to help with cleaning and disinfection, and then the 300-ton warehouse was filled on the same day.

At this moment, "Golden Mulberry Leaf" has a considerable cash flow on its books. Zhang Daxiang and Lao Zhou discussed it and decided that he would purchase thirty used cars at once, and Lao Zhou would rent ten of them from him. That way, they could probably last until the New Year.

The main problem is that there are a lot of loose parts. Every day, countless chickens, ducks and geese are slaughtered and processed. In particular, Zhang Daxiang is about to start a slaughterhouse business, and at that time, the slaughterhouse will need several trucks to transport and clear the goods.

To connect all businesses, you basically need vehicles and drivers.

Zhang Daxiang's original plan was to recruit people from his own family, but it was delayed due to the internal strife within the Sang family. Without import and export channels, he couldn't offer extra salaries. Also, he felt more at ease with having more of his own people and wasn't afraid of any trouble.

He was thinking of finding another way, perhaps borrowing people from somewhere, when Sang Yuke gave him a big surprise... and a big shock. To be honest, he was very happy that twenty drivers came to work right away.

But then again, with one black man and one black man, and you bringing two hundred of them all at once, are you really going to attack Jiyang city?
"two hundred?!"

“Yes…yes.”

Sang Yuke lowered her head, her face flushed, then her eyes darted quickly to her husband. Seeing that he was only surprised, not angry, she immediately regained her confidence, puffed out her chest, and raised her voice slightly, "Uncle Shouyi said that he has completely broken ties with the Sang family's old house. Many people are planning to go to Youzhou to work as substitute taxi drivers. Quite a few have already gone to Youzhou, but some people are taking advice and want to wait and see what news Uncle Shouyi can give them."

“That old rascal Sang Shouyi…Is he up to something? Sister Yu, you and Mom should be careful. Just talk to him from a distance, listen more and say less. That way, you'll have the upper hand, and it'll save you from any trouble Sang Shouyi might cause.”

"Yes, I've been following the shopkeeper's instructions. I haven't even thought about going back to my hometown."

“We still have to go back, but we have to go back in style, with a lot of pomp and circumstance. After the New Year, a batch of Mercedes-Benzes will come in. Cars that cost two or three million can be bought for only three or four hundred thousand. You’ll ride in one of those.”

"..."

Sang Yuke stared wide-eyed in silence, then put down her chopsticks, held the large "peach" in both hands, and asked Zhang Daxiang, "Shopkeeper, does this look like a car headlight?"

Snapped!
Zhang Daxiang raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "Just wait until I turn you off."

"hey-hey……"

With a silly grin, Sang Yuke shoveled another mouthful of noodles into her mouth, clutching a large bone stick in her hand. Then, blinking her big eyes, she looked at Zhang Daxiang and asked, "Manager, can you arrange those two hundred men?"

"Yes, but not two hundred people at once. Sister Yu, you have to put on airs; a wealthy lady has to maintain her poise. You should tell your family that while I am indeed recruiting, the Zhang family also has one or two thousand close relatives and friends who are all counting on their livelihoods. With so many monks and so little porridge, how could I not take care of the Zhang family? But, thanks to your efforts, Sister Yu, after whispering in my ear eight hundred times, I finally agreed to give fifty places to my family as well."

"Oh~~~"

When Zhang Daxiang gave her his advice, Sang Yuke's eyes lit up. He was really good at it. People from Jiyang are so cunning. But her husband was only being cunning because of her. That's great.

“Sister Yu, you need to be careful here. You need to emphasize how difficult and challenging it is for you. At the same time, you also need to stress that it's not that we can't arrange two hundred people, but that we have to proceed step by step. It's almost the New Year, so sending fifty people first is just to test the waters and see how things go. Sister Yu, you're doing this for your family's sake, afraid they'll suffer losses. After the New Year, we won't be hiring anymore; we'll just keep our doors open and wait for your family to come and help us…”

After some pointers, Sang Yuke finally understood and nodded repeatedly.

Despite her large breasts, she's not brainless; she's already grasped the core principles.

Just as Zhang Daxiang nodded in satisfaction and was about to continue eating his noodles, Sang Yuke suddenly said thoughtfully, "Shopkeeper, I think we should add another condition: the person must be of good character. Petty thieves can't come here. Otherwise, they'll ruin your business."

She was serious about it, while Zhang Daxiang was stunned for a moment, then revealed a rather pleasant smile, reaching out to pinch Sang Yuke's cheek: "Sister Yu, it's really a good deal for me to come to my house."
