Bringing a Warehouse to 1985

Zhou Yuan was reborn, back to 1985, a vibrant era just after the reform and opening up. Resources were scarce, and talents were scarce. Those with ability could showcase their prowess, and those with ...

Chapter 40: Continue to Make Money

Zhou Yuan didn't know what Li Yue'er was thinking, but he could see clearly what Ouyang Xiaomei was thinking. However, he really didn't like Ouyang Xiaomei.

I don’t know why, but sometimes Zhou Yuan thinks that Ouyang Xiaomei is not bad looking, and is also a charming woman. Is it just because of her tomboyish personality that he doesn’t like her?

Even Zhou Yuan doesn’t know the answer.

However, love matters can be put aside, but making money cannot be delayed.

The sewage and drinking water project in the suburbs of the provincial capital has been under construction for some time. Dozens of employees are working there every day, as well as large machines such as excavators and bulldozers.

The excavated sludge needs to be transported away, so engineering vehicles are needed.

Zhou Yuan didn't have this kind of car in his warehouse, so he wanted to buy one, but he couldn't come up with so much money at once.

It was almost done before, but he used the money to treat Li Yueer's father's illness.

As a result, I was a little at a loss when I needed money, so I thought about it and called my previous contractor Liu Dayong to ask him if he had a car. I hoped to rent one to drive as a way to help me out in an emergency!

Someone contacted him, and Liu Dayong laughed heartily. He asked with the tone of a veteran, "How's it going, kid? It's great to be a foreman, right?"

"It's just okay, uncle. Do you have a construction truck? One that can at least haul more than four tons of mud. Eight or ten tons would be even better."

"Yes! If you want to do it, it's 300 yuan a day. Actually, 300 yuan a day is not a loss for you. I have to pay the driver's salary, the car's maintenance and repair costs, and consumption costs. All in all, I don't make much money. I charge others at least 400."

Liu Dayong laughed.

"Okay, 300 is 300. When can you drive the car over?"

Zhou Yuan’s current construction site is actually not too far from Liu Dayong’s construction site, about 200 kilometers away. It used to take four hours to drive there, but now it only takes two hours.

"I'll make some arrangements and have the driver bring the car over tomorrow. But you, driver, can take good care of me. I'll provide food and lodging. Don't neglect me. I'm your baby.

You also have to pay for the fuel because it's doing the work for you, understand?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, my old boss will never treat him unfairly. I will take care of the fuel costs."

The problem with the construction vehicle was resolved. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuan walked out of the construction team's office.

He drove his motorcycle to the client's project headquarters and asked them for oil.

The oil that year also needed to be planned, and the oil the project department got was cheaper. They pulled it directly from the oil depot based on the plan, paid less tax, and skipped several procedures.

It is a scheduled wholesale price, which is much cheaper.

So Zhou Yuan wanted to talk to someone at the command center about the oil issue.

The boss of the command center was not there. The second in command was a woman, who was a little older than Zhou Yuan and looked average.

Zhou Yuan had dealt with him before and knew that this woman was a bit stingy.

The main reason why women are difficult to deal with is that they neither drink nor smoke.

If a man hands you a good cigarette, calls you "brother" or "boss" and says a few nice words, he might turn on the street light.

If all else fails, Xu Ruo will treat him to a drink.

There was no karaoke or sauna bathing back then, but there was dancing in ballrooms, and it was very popular.

Zhou Yuan, the head of the project department, invited him to dance with him, and they had a pretty good relationship.

The most important thing for a contractor is to be versatile and good at networking, and to be able to handle all aspects of the business so that he can get what he wants.

Problems can be solved easily.

However, the eldest sister was not around, and the second sister obviously wanted to strangle Zhou Yuan, so Zhou Yuan talked to her for a long time, but the woman just sat on the chair whining and didn't make a clear statement.

Zhou Yuan naturally knew that these two were not trying to control him.

How can we open a breakthrough and make her speak? Zhou Yuan observed her expression and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with an idea.

It was already around 11 o'clock in the morning, and the sun outside was like a fireball, scorching the earth.

The temperature after autumn is obviously higher than before the beginning of autumn, and the autumn heat is really a big deal.

There was neither air conditioning nor fans in the project department back then, so it was definitely hot.

Li Min, deputy director of the project department, was sitting there impatiently, sweating profusely. She was eager to get rid of Zhou Yuan, so she said bluntly:

"I don't have any oil, but I have a beauty. Take it from me."

"You said so, I'll pick you up in the evening, okay?" Zhou Yuan joked, staring at him from a high place.

He had plenty of experience dealing with women like this. A gentleman uses words, not fists, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Li Min became even angrier and was about to explode when Zhou Yuan suddenly had an idea and remembered that there was an electric fan in his warehouse.

This was a rare item at the time, and the weather was so hot that it was just what I needed.

So he said goodbye to Director Li, walked out of the project department, came to a deserted place, entered his warehouse, and took out a fan.

That was a brand new floor-standing electric fan. When he carried the fan into Director Li's office, he plugged it into the wall socket and gently pressed the switch.

A cool breeze immediately blew out slowly.

Li Min, who was feeling a little irritated due to the heat, suddenly felt extremely comfortable. She quickly stood up and enjoyed the cool breeze, feeling extremely refreshed.

After a long while, she stared at Zhou Yuansheng with her peach blossom eyes for three seconds, then asked with a smile:

"Are you giving this to me as a continuation or a gift? Don't try to bribe me, I can't afford it."

"I'm not trying to bribe you, nor am I giving it to you as a gift. I'm giving it to Li Min's office at the Root Project Headquarters as a public good. Is this okay?"

"Yes, yes, that's great." Li Min laughed excitedly.

I think Zhou Yuan is very good at handling things.

So, excitedly, he waved his hand and said, "Bring the report here, isn't that why I want it? I'll give you the approval. With this approval, you can just let your driver fill up at the gas station. The price will be the same as the company's construction vehicle price. They won't give you any trouble."

"Thank you so much, Master Li. Your director is so considerate. I'm sure you'll become more and more beautiful and younger in the future, and find an incredibly handsome man."

Zhou Yuan took the approval document and quickly flattered the emperor.

Li Minming rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, "Don't be too handsome, just as handsome as you are. How about you be my boyfriend?"

"Oh, no, no." Zhou Yuan quickly waved his hand: "Director, you are a great beauty, young and promising, with outstanding talents, and a bright future.

How can a rough guy like us be worthy of her?

I think the director is very good, how about I introduce him to you?"

Zhou Yuan just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Li Min snorted and got angry, telling him to get out immediately, which made Zhou Yuan a little confused.

Later he found out that Director Ma of the project department was pursuing Deputy Director Miss Li Min.

But Miss Li was not in the mood at all.

So, he flattered the horse but ended up hitting the horse's leg.

well!
