Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Hearing such praise, Zhang Yun smiled:

"How's it going? I'm doing a pretty good job as an assistant, right?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded seriously:

"It's not just good, it's really good! With a good wife like you, our business plan will be able to develop very quickly..."

As he said that, Zhao Zhuo suddenly noticed that Zhang Yun's face turned red all of a sudden, and couldn't help but be startled.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhuo asked with some confusion.

"Humph, who is your good wife?"

Zhang Yun lowered her head shyly and said softly.

Only then did Zhao Zhuo realize that the words he just used seemed a bit inappropriate.

"Um...I mean...you are like..."

Zhao Zhuo thought for a long time, but could not think of a more suitable word than "virtuous wife".

Suddenly, an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere surrounded the two of them, and they were relatively speechless.

Fortunately, at this moment, someone else came to the door, which temporarily relieved the two of them from the embarrassment.

The visitor is Director Zhang from the textile factory.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that the truck has returned?!"

Director Zhang asked excitedly after entering the door.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile:

"Director Zhang is also very well informed. He found out so quickly."

Hearing this, Director Zhang was waiting for a positive answer and couldn't help but look happy:

"Hey, you can say that I have been looking forward to seeing you for a while! I also found a lot of transport cars, but it worked. Now that you are back, I can rest assured!"

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly when he heard this:

"Now that the truck is here, we can talk about the price."

Director Zhang nodded:

"Yes, what do you think about the price?"

Zhao Zhuo counted on his fingers and said:

"What I brought back this time are all heavy-duty trucks. According to the current domestic market, the price of one truck is about 50,000 yuan. If there are three trucks, it will be 150,000 yuan.

Besides, I need this money in cash."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhuo's quotation, Director Zhang immediately raised his eyebrows:

"So much money?!"

Director Zhang was subconsciously surprised.

After a pause, Director Zhang asked tentatively:

"Can it be cheaper? Fifty thousand yuan is too much. Last time, the production line almost emptied the factory's cash flow. This time, it's 150,000 yuan, and the factory can't come up with it at all!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo shook his head without even thinking:

"Director Zhang, you should know that the 50,000 yuan I mentioned is a good market price, but if you really buy a car from China, let alone whether you can sell it immediately, the price is far more than 50,000 yuan, at least

It costs about 70,000!”

Hearing this, Director Zhang was unable to refute, because what Zhao Zhuo said was true.

The so-called market price is just a reference price.

With the current domestic freight demand being so huge, it is impossible to buy a new heavy-duty truck without 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo continued:

"And if I say something bad, even if I make it cheaper for you, it will be ten or twenty thousand yuan! Isn't that a lot? You still can't afford it."

Zhao Zhuo really wasn't mocking Factory Director Zhang when he said this.

Even for Fengtian Textile Factory, hundreds of thousands is definitely a huge sum of money, and it is almost impossible to get it.

Director Zhang naturally knew that Zhao Zhuo was telling the truth and fell into silence for a while after hearing this.

After a while, Director Zhang sighed and said:

"Oh, so there's nothing we can do?"

What Zhao Zhuo was waiting for was Director Zhang’s words!

Zhao Zhuo said slowly:

"Of course there is a way, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drive these five cars back rashly."

Upon hearing these words, Director Zhang slapped his thigh:

"That's right! Zhao Zhuo, since you dare to get these five trucks back, you must have a countermeasure. Tell me quickly, what should you do about this matter?"

Zhao Zhuo glanced at Factory Director Zhang and said:

"It's very simple. I use these five vehicles for transportation. If you need transportation, why don't I help you with transportation?

In this way, not only does Fengtian Textile Factory not have to pay such a huge sum of money, but it also saves you the cost of hiring a driver and maintaining the vehicle."

In fact, this is what Zhao Zhuo has always planned!

Upon hearing this suggestion, Director Zhang’s eyes lit up:

"That makes sense! Wouldn't it be wonderful if both of us benefit from this?"

After a pause, Director Zhang suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly:

"But in terms of shipping costs, Mr. Zhao, you can't charge too high a price!"

As he spoke, Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh:

"Actually, the reason why I didn't negotiate with those truck drivers during this period was mainly because the freight they demanded was too high, which was far beyond the capacity of our factory.

I made a rough calculation and found that according to the freight price they asked for, all the profits would belong to them, and the textile factory would not make any money at all!"

When talking about this matter, Director Zhang was also very angry.

Zhao Zhuo asked:

“How much do they charge for shipping?”

It’s okay if I don’t say it, but Director Zhang became even more angry when I mentioned it:

"For ordinary trucks, they dare to charge 8 yuan per kilometer! A distance of 1,000 kilometers costs 8,000 yuan! We can't even make that much!"

Hearing the price, Zhao Zhuo weighed it secretly in his heart.

For example, the five heavy-duty trucks that Zhao Zhuo brought back cost almost two yuan per kilometer in gas when fully loaded. The prices for other types of trucks are about the same.

In this way, if the cost of the vehicle itself is not included, you can earn six yuan for one kilometer, and six thousand yuan for a thousand kilometers!

After doing this calculation, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but secretly be speechless.

I knew I could make money by doing transportation, but I didn’t expect it to be so profitable!

Of course, for most car owners, the cost of tens of thousands of yuan is a big expense. The price of eight yuan per kilometer also takes into account the depreciation of the vehicle, and they hope to get the cost back as soon as possible.

But this problem does not exist at all here in Zhao Zhuo!

According to the price of canned salted fish, Zhao Zhuodu spent a total of 6,000 yuan on these five cars, which translates into a cost of just over 1,000 yuan for one car!

As a result, Zhao Zhuo had a huge innate advantage in terms of pricing. When most car owners and drivers priced eight yuan per kilometer, Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment, then looked at Factory Director Zhang and said slowly:

"Director Zhang, you should have asked. This is a heavy-duty truck, and its transport capacity is much larger than most trucks."

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo looked at Director Zhang's nervous expression and smiled lightly:

"So, the price I am going to give you is...five yuan per kilometer."

Upon hearing this price, Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and then after thinking about it again, his face became ecstatic.

The largest heavy-duty truck costs five yuan per kilometer. You can’t find this price anywhere!
