Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Now, Sun Xiaoyu is fully responsible for the Sun family's lumber factory in the Soviet Union.

After Zhao Zhuo understood this, he couldn't help but said:

"At the age of more than 20 years old, she can control such a large lumber factory alone in a foreign country. Miss Sun is young and promising."

After getting along with each other these days, Sun Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhuo have become very familiar with each other. Hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhao Zhuo:

"Why do I feel that you are praising yourself in a different way?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly and said:

"Ah, I didn't, right?"

Sun Xiaoyu pouted:

"You are both in your twenties, and you can start a business on your own without help from your family. Moreover, you were the winner in the previous auction between us.

In this way, if I am young and promising, then you are even better."

"Hahahaha, it seems like this is really the case. Then we should stop complimenting each other, lest we become complacent."

Zhao Zhuo laughed loudly.

While talking, the group of people arrived at the lumber factory.

The factory is built on a mountain, next to a huge virgin forest.

At this time, people's environmental awareness was not that strong, and most lumber mills had no control over deforestation.

However, Zhao Zhuo noticed that the Sun family's lumber factory was not like this.

On the hilltop closest to the lumber mill, the wood has almost been cut down.

But what comes into view is not a bare mountain, but a patch of small trees.

"After you cut down the trees, will you plant saplings?"

Zhao Zhuo asked with some surprise.

"Of course."

Sun Xiaoyu nodded and continued:

“Deforestation is not about depleting the lake, we must pay attention to sustainable development.

Besides, if we don’t replant trees, it will cause soil erosion and even be dangerous to our lumber factory at the foot of the mountain.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded approvingly:

"You can have this kind of awareness even in the Soviet Union, no wonder your family's business can be so big."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu smiled slightly:

"My ancestors were once the number one winners! When doing business now, we believe in honesty and goodwill to make money."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was even more impressed.

Under Sun Xiaoyu's command, everyone began to move the wood in an orderly manner.

A large group of lumberjacks actually obeyed the advice of a young girl named Sun Xiaoyu, which shows Sun Xiaoyu's management ability.

After everything was on track, Sun Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhuo came to the side to rest.

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said:

"Miss Sun, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu nodded:

"Yeah, tell me."

Zhao Zhuo nodded and asked first:

"This bidding failed, how are you going to solve the transportation problem later?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu couldn't help but his eyes darkened:

"Zhao Zhuo, let me tell you the truth. I lost to you in this truck auction, which actually had a huge impact on our family's business."

Zhao Zhuo then asked:

"Oh, what do you say?"

Sun Xiaoyu said slowly:

“Recently, my family’s furniture business in China is booming, and the demand for transportation is very high.

So the truck is very important to my family."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little confused:

"I remember you said that your family is from Pengcheng, right?"

"That's right."

"That's strange. Pengcheng has been a transportation hub and strategic location since ancient times. Logically speaking, the transportation industry should be very developed. Why is there such a transportation problem?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu smiled bitterly:

"Zhao Zhuo, you are too optimistic about the domestic transportation industry. Since the reform, transportation demand has been rising, but the increase in transportation vehicles is far from enough.

Precisely because Pengcheng is a transportation hub and has a large demand for transportation vehicles, the problem of transportation difficulties has become more prominent.

I am not exaggerating to say that the transportation costs in Pengcheng are now almost as much as those in the Soviet Union!"

Transportation costs in the Soviet Union are high because of high gasoline prices. Transportation costs in Pengcheng are high simply because demand exceeds supply.

Wanting to understand the essential difference between the two, Zhao Zhuo had an idea.

I saw him looking at Sun Xiaoyu and asking:

"Let me ask you a question first."

"Well, you ask."

"What do you think of me as a person?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Zhuo naturally couldn't have any other ideas when he asked this kind of question.

Therefore, from the perspective of a friend, Sun Xiaoyu thought carefully and solemnly replied:

"Although we were competitors a few days ago, I admire you very much for your personality and your business methods.

Therefore, I think you are a friend, and a good friend worthy of a long-term relationship."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly:

"In that case, why don't we cooperate and I will do your transportation business? What do you think?"

When Sun Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes lit up at first, and then dimmed immediately.

"Zhao Zhuo, actually I haven't thought about this problem.

From the perspective of our business, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to outsource the transportation business.

Moreover, I absolutely trust you! I feel very relieved that you are responsible for the transportation!"

After a pause, Sun Xiaoyou continued with an expression of embarrassment:

"But...the scale of your shipping now is a big problem.

My family needs at least ten such trucks to transport lumber from the Soviet Union to Pengcheng and furniture from Pengcheng to all parts of the country every month.

I'm afraid your current scale is still insufficient."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo understood the reason for Sun Xiaoyu's concerns.

However, Zhao Zhuo was not discouraged in any way, but asked with a smile:

"Can I understand that if I have enough trucks, your family will give priority to me for the transportation business?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu nodded without thinking:

"That's right! As long as you have enough transportation capabilities, our family will definitely choose you first if the price is the same!"

Sun Xiaoyu had already understood Zhao Zhuo's ability. Therefore, Sun Xiaoyu agreed to this decision without even thinking about it.

Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly:

"Okay, then I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the near future."

Hearing that Zhao Zhuo was so confident, Sun Xiaoyu asked in surprise:

"How are you going to get ten more trucks in a short time?!"

Sun Xiaoyu's first reaction was not to consider whether Zhao Zhuo was bragging, but to directly ask the reason.

Because, in Sun Xiaoyu's view, as long as Zhao Zhuo says it, he will definitely be able to do it!

This is the trust and endorsement that Zhao Zhuo has brought to himself with his own abilities!
