Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

In the next few days, Zhao Zhuo no longer paid attention to the photo studio, but conducted a careful investigation of the industrial distribution in Fengtian.

According to his research, Fengtian today is still dominated by light industry, and there are a few heavy industries that he cannot participate in with his current net worth of tens of thousands.

Therefore, Zhao Zhuo's next goal is to rely on daily necessities to trade with the Soviet Union.

…

On this day, as soon as Zhao Zhuo came to the photo studio, someone came to the door.

"Hey, Director Zhang, you are a distinguished guest. What, do you want to take a photo?"

Zhao Zhuo said with a smile.

It turned out that the person who came was the director of Fengtian Textile Factory.

Director Zhang laughed:

"I've long heard that the photo studio you opened is doing a booming business, and today I saw that it is indeed well-deserved."

After a pause, Director Zhang continued:

"But I don't have time to take pictures. I'm here to ask you for help."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo understood clearly.

After all, Zhao Zhuo has not contacted Factory Director Zhang since the last production line transaction was completed.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, if Director Zhang comes to visit, there must be something wrong.

"Oh, what's the matter? Let's sit down and talk slowly."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo asked Wang Juan to make a cup of tea, and the two sat down.

Director Zhang seemed to be really thirsty. After drinking a cup of tea in one gulp, he said:

"Since the production line was put in place, the production speed of our factory has increased all of a sudden, and now we can say that we are receiving continuous orders!"

"Oh, isn't this a good thing?"

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be a little confused.

Unexpectedly, Director Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"It's a blessing and a curse! Now our textile factory receives a lot of orders from other places, but there is only one old-fashioned truck in the factory, and the transportation capacity can no longer keep up!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo already understood a lot.

"So you came here this time to ask me to help find the truck?"

"That's right!"

Director Zhang nodded:

"As you know, the production of our domestic cars is very limited, so we can't even get our hands on them.

You have a wide road here, I want you to see if you can get some cars from the Soviet Union."

After understanding what Director Zhang meant, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After the reform, domestic demand for the transportation industry will grow extremely rapidly, and a huge industry will soon be formed.

This time, Director Zhang came to visit, which just provided Zhao Zhuo with a very good opportunity to enter the freight industry.

But the problem is that the automobile transportation industry is different from a small business like a photo studio, which requires huge funds.

If you want to really make it big, the tens of thousands of dollars in Zhao Zhuo's hands are not enough.

This is also the reason why Zhao Zhuo has been hesitant so far and not jumped in hastily.

"Zhao Zhuo, if you can't handle this, then there's really nothing I can do!"

Factory Director Zhang was already extremely anxious when he faced so much inventory in the factory that he could not transport.

Therefore, Director Zhang couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Zhao Zhuo pondering and not speaking.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly and asked calmly:

"How many cars do you need?"

"Well...at least three at this stage!"

Director Zhang said.

"Three cars..."

Zhao Zhuo pondered for a moment.

According to the current domestic market price, a brand-new truck costs about 30,000 yuan.

And what the Soviet Union now lacks most is cars!

In order to prepare for war, the Soviet Union produced countless transport vehicles over the past decade or so, and now they are all sitting in warehouses waiting to rust.

If you only have three cars in the early stage, this business can be done!

So, Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Okay, three cars, I'll take this business."

Director Zhang was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Zhuo's affirmative answer.

"Great! I knew Zhao Zhuo wouldn't be able to do business without you! So I'll just wait for your good news!"

Director Zhang said excitedly.

Although Zhao Zhuo only agreed verbally, Director Zhang has full confidence in Zhao Zhuo since he did business with Zhao Zhuo last time.

He believed that as long as Zhao Zhuo dared to agree to something, it would be accomplished!

At this moment, Director Zhang’s anxious mood was relieved, and he was in the mood to joke:

"This time you go to the Soviet Union, do you need me to provide you with a female secretary?"

"Ah, what female secretary?"

Zhao Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

Director Zhang said with a mysterious smile:

"That's the treasurer of our factory, Dujuan! Ever since you went there last time, the flower girl of our factory has been thinking about you all the time!

I just need to tell her, and she will happily go with you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo remembered that Du Juan was the accountant who was courteous to him.

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly, but before he could speak, he felt a sharp gaze coming towards him.

Zhao Zhuo's heart trembled subconsciously, and he followed his gaze and saw that it was Zhang Yun who was looking at him with a half-smiling expression.

Zhao Zhuo quickly refused to Director Zhang righteously and said:

"Director Zhang, who do you think I am! Business is business, why do I need a female secretary?"

"Hey, you don't know that when I go out to do business now, I have a female secretary by my side. It's a privilege!"

Director Zhang was talking with joy. Seeing that Zhao Zhuo was becoming more and more serious, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he noticed Zhang Yun's eyes on the side and suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Uh... I was just joking, hahaha, there is no female secretary, no, hahaha..."

Director Zhang waved his hand with a smile, and the picture became darker and darker.

Zhao Zhuo felt helpless when he saw his poor acting skills.

"Okay, I won't send you off. I'll let you know when I have news."

Zhao Zhuo covered his forehead and issued the eviction order.

Director Zhang was eager to get out of this embarrassing situation quickly, so he nodded quickly and turned around to leave.

…

After Director Zhang left, Zhang Yun sat opposite Zhao Zhuo and took a slow sip of water:

"Since the female secretary is so impressive, how about we ask that Dujuan to be your secretary?"

Sure enough, it came...

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly:

"Don't listen to that Factory Director Zhang's nonsense. I'm not familiar with that person at all!"

"Really unfamiliar?"

"Really unfamiliar!"

Zhao Zhuo vowed, and then Zhang Yun gave up, and then said slowly:

“Do we need to enter the transportation industry so early?”

When Zhao Zhuo saw that Zhang Yun did not hold on to the female secretary's question, but simply took it away, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said:

"We must do something in the transportation industry, sooner rather than later. Now that we have such an opportunity, let's get started!"

"It's just about the funding..."

Zhang Yun said with some worry.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"The money we have is naturally not enough to buy a car from China. However, it may not be impossible to buy it from the Soviet Union."

Hearing that Zhao Zhuo was indeed going to the Soviet Union in person, Zhang Yun frowned:

"You are lucky enough to come back this time, why do you dare to go again?"
