Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Zhao Zhuo waved his hand lightly:

"You don't have to worry about transportation issues. I am engaged in transportation myself. I came to Pengcheng to deliver the goods this time, and I didn't want to go back empty, so I wanted to get some goods."

Upon hearing this, the manager's originally enthusiastic expression suddenly froze, and then he seemed to feel that his face changed a bit too quickly, and he squeezed out a smile with an unnatural look on his face:

"What Mr. Zhao means is that you have your own transport fleet?"

Zhao Zhuo was keenly aware of the change in the manager's attitude after hearing this. He seemed to be no longer as enthusiastic as before.

However, Zhao Zhuo pretended not to know and nodded lightly:

"That's right. This way you don't have to worry about transportation. It's not the best of both worlds."

Unexpectedly, after the manager received Zhao Zhuo's affirmative reply, he shook his head coldly and said:

"If this is the case, then Mr. Zhao, I have to regretfully inform you that I am afraid it will be difficult for you to do business with Sun Furniture.

Unless, you are able to accept that we arrange the transportation vehicle."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo frowned:

"Then I don't understand. Why do I need to use your transport fleet when I can transport it myself?"

The manager took it for granted:

"Because that's what our regulations are, and there's nothing I can do about it."

After a pause, the manager suddenly thought of something and added:

"By the way, if you really want to use your own transportation fleet, that's not impossible. However, the transportation costs for us will not be less."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help laughing angrily:

"Okay, I really learned a lot today! I really have no interest in cooperating with a shady store like yours."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo turned around and left without any hesitation.

When he heard Zhao Zhuo's words, the manager suddenly looked ugly, but what Zhao Zhuo said was all the truth, and the manager couldn't refute it at all, so he could only watch Zhao Zhuo leave with a livid face.

After leaving the gate of the furniture store, Zhao Zhuo's originally angry expression quickly calmed down.

He came to the Furniture Mall this time just to inquire about the news, and his anger just now was naturally an act.

The information he learned this time also allowed Zhao Zhuo to understand the Sun family to a higher level.

It seems that Sun's Furniture makes money not only from the profits of the furniture, but also from the profits of transportation!

As long as the purchase of Sun's furniture involves transportation issues, then Sun must arrange the transportation.

Zhao Zhuo could guess without even thinking that the transportation price would be much higher than the market price.

It is precisely because transportation is a major source of income for the Sun family that Sun Xiaoyu's second uncle was able to control the transportation business and force Sun Xiaoyu, the absolute majority shareholder who holds 80% of the shares, to nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo suddenly noticed that a truck pulling a lot of furniture slowly drove out of the back door of the furniture store.

Zhao Zhuo looked carefully and saw "Peng Yun Logistics" printed on the truck.

In this way, Zhao Zhuo had a plan for the second step of his investigation.

Zhao Zhuo stopped a taxi casually and said to the driver after getting in:

"Master, Peng Yun Logistics."

"okay!"

The driver agreed without thinking, which shows that this so-called Peng Yun Logistics is quite famous in Pengcheng.

In the taxi, Zhao Zhuo chatted with the driver intentionally or unintentionally, and the topic soon turned to Peng Yun Logistics.

"Master, I heard that Peng Yun Logistics is quite famous here?"

The driver nodded after hearing this:

"That's not good! Peng Yun Logistics is one of the largest logistics companies in Pengcheng. The company has dozens of large trucks!

I gave him a rough calculation. The driver’s salary alone costs a lot of money every month!

After all, you also know that the driver’s salary is not low now.”

Having said this, the taxi driver's eyes couldn't help but subconsciously show pride.

After all, in this era, taxi drivers can be considered high-income people.

Zhao Zhuo ruled out the driver's boasting, thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Hey, no wonder Sun's Furniture asked me to come to Peng Yun Logistics to transport furniture. It turns out it's because Peng Yun Logistics is so big.

Indeed, even a larger company would not feel comfortable using it.”

Hearing this, the taxi driver glanced at Zhao Zhuo in surprise:

"Brother, are you saying that you bought the goods from Sun's Furniture, and then they asked you to go to Pengyun Logistics to contact the transportation yourself?"

What Zhao Zhuo was waiting for was what the driver said, and he nodded pretending not to know:

"That's right. Is there any problem?"

The driver thought for a while and said to Zhao Zhuo more honestly:

"Brother, don't be angry if I say something."

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"It's okay, just say it."

The driver then said:

"I guess it's because you bought very little furniture and the transportation distance is long, so Sun's Furniture asked you to contact the logistics yourself?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded noncommittally, then pretended to be a little surprised and looked at the driver and asked:

"That's really what happened! How did you know!"

When the driver heard that Zhao Zhuo was so surprised, he couldn't help but smile slightly proudly, and then said:

"Because as far as I know, Sun's Furniture and Pengyun Logistics have a very close cooperative relationship. It seems that Sun Erhu, the general manager of Sun's Furniture, has any relationship with the boss of Pengyun Logistics.

Anyway, all the furniture sold by Sun Furniture is cooperated with Pengyun Logistics.

However, maybe if there is a lot of goods, Sun Furniture will contact Pengyun Logistics to come to your door.

If the goods are in short supply, I may be like you and need to contact you myself.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was shocked, because he heard a very surprising news from the driver's words:

"You mean, the general manager of Sun Furniture is Sun Erhu? I heard that the general manager is not a woman, seems to be called Sun Xiaoyu?"

Sun Erhu is Sun Xiaoyu's second uncle and her biggest enemy within the Sun family.

Zhao Zhuo was really surprised to hear that Sun Xiaoyu, who holds 80% of the shares, is not the general manager, but Sun Erhu, who holds 20% of the shares, is the general manager.

The driver smiled and shook his head:

"Hey, how long ago did this news come to you?"

After a pause, the driver said mysteriously:

"Indeed, after the death of Sun Yilong, the head of Sun Furniture, the general manager of Sun Furniture was replaced by his daughter Sun Xiaoyu.

However, about half a year ago, under the leadership of Sun Xiaoyu, the sales volume of Sun Furniture has been declining, and the position of general manager was taken over by Sun Xiaoyu’s second uncle, Sun Yilong’s younger brother Sun Erhu.”
