Chu Chu and Mu Chen went there overnight. Fortunately, both cities are in the capital and not far from each other.

Upon seeing Lin Chuchu approach, forty pairs of eyes were fixed intently on her.

Lin Chuchu greeted her older brother, then immediately sat down at the large table and picked up a blank sheet of paper to begin calculating.

Lin Chuchu began to ask each person one by one about the vehicle's taxes and fees, how much fuel each vehicle had used, how much it cost, whether there were any tolls, vehicle repair costs, the cost of accommodation and food for each person, and whether there would be any additional expenses upon arrival, such as gifts, and of course, unloading fees.

This time they were loading materials, which were quite heavy, so the other party provided extra compensation for unloading.

They unloaded the truck themselves, so this is considered extra money they earned.

They didn't come back empty-handed. A factory hired trucks to deliver agricultural equipment to the neighboring brigade, paying 500 yuan per truck.

The eldest brother provided three cars, and the rental fees were deducted from the final profit sharing. However, the vehicle usage tax was deducted separately each time and also had to be shared among the people who rented his cars.

The total profit was [amount] yuan. After deducting various expenses, the remaining amount included company operating expenses and personal advance payments.

"The eldest brother should receive 3653, Li Dazhuang..."

Lin Chuchu read out each name and the amount they were entitled to.

Every time a name was mentioned, someone would gasp in shock.

Lin Chuchu rubbed her head; three hours of intensive arithmetic had given her a headache.

Mu Chen poured her a glass of water, and Lin Chuchu picked it up and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"If you have any questions or complaints, please feel free to ask."

"No, no, no, Comrade Lin calculated it very well. We roughnecks definitely couldn't have figured it out."

"Yes, thank you very much, Comrade Lin. Haha, we can rest assured now."

After being delayed for ten days on the road, everyone was afraid of not making any money. Now that all the data and amounts are out in the open, they naturally have a clear understanding of the situation.

Next, it was time for them to divide the money. Since it was too late, Lin Chuchu suggested that they buy the ledger and some triplicate forms of receipts.

Her older brother naturally listened to her, and the next morning, Lin Chuchu received a bunch of things.

She doesn't have an accounting background, so it's relatively simple for her.

"You'd better hire an accountant later, that way you'll be more professional."

"Chuchu, can you come and help me? I can pay you a salary. After all, you're family, and I trust you more."

The eldest brother spoke up.

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "No, you might have to pay other taxes and fees later, and you'll need to coordinate with the tax bureau and other government departments. It would be best to find someone who works full-time."

The eldest brother was somewhat disappointed by what Lin Chuchu said, but he knew that what Lin Chuchu said was true.

When all the money was distributed, Lin Chuchu also mentioned that some taxes and fees might increase in the future.

These veterans are very honest; once you explain the reasons to them, they understand.

Sign the payslip and deposit it into the account. At the same time, emphasize that next time you need to get a receipt from someone else to repair your car.

If there's no receipt, you can use their company's receipt, stamped with the other company's seal.

Lin Chuchu stamped the three-part receipts she had applied for with the company's seal, and told them to remember all the expenses for meals and other things. The receipts were three-part forms: one for the seller, one for the driver, and one to be submitted to the company.

This time, I was paid because it was the end of the year and it was my first time driving freight, so I was paid this time. Next time, I will be paid in full at once.

Someone muttered a few words, complaining about the trouble, but was immediately rebuked by the older brother and the others.

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. We are a legitimate company, and everything must be developed and learned in a positive direction. Otherwise, over time, things will definitely become more and more chaotic."

The older brother spoke seriously, saying that they were a freight company affiliated with the military and couldn't bring shame to the military.

The eldest brother always had a smile on his face, and Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen were very happy for him.

"Brother, besides the jobs the military assigns you, do you have any other ways to find work?"

“I know a few factories, and I’ve already spoken to them before. They can contact me anytime if there’s work.”

Mu Chen chimed in from the side, "So if there's no work, you can only stay put?"

The older brother was taken aback. He hadn't thought about this question before, since he already made a lot of money each time he ran freight transport, just like this time.

He also realized the seriousness of the problem, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Mu Chen and Lin Chuchu exchanged a glance. "Brother units sometimes need to transport goods between each other. You can advertise in the surrounding areas, such as placing ads in newspapers. The cost doesn't seem too expensive. You can consider it."

"I've heard that many regions are encouraging companies and factories to install landlines. You should install one too. When you do, you can print your business cards with the landline number on them and distribute them to nearby factories whenever you go somewhere."

Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen explained, "By the way, it's not just on here, you can also write on the receipts we gave you that this time it's for delivery, but maybe next time it's for picking up goods."

“Your uniforms should also be changed. Make them uniform, and you can embroider your freight company’s name on them, and you can also spray the company name and phone number on the trucks.”

This was a very common way of advertising in later generations, but it is not common now.

The older brother's expression changed, and he suddenly felt the money in his hand was burning hot.

You're already using it before it's even warmed up?

"Okay, I'll find someone to print that right away..."

"postcard!"

"Yes, I'll find someone to make them right now, and the clothes too. By the way, do you have any suggestions on the style of the clothes?"
