…

In 1983, there were only eight subjects in the exam, which were completed in two days.

Lu Shishen was worried that it would affect Yang Nian's exam the next day, so he did not tell her about his encounter with Yang Huiying. Fortunately, the questions were much easier than he had imagined.

The last subject was finished at noon the next day. Jiang Yang was waiting at the entrance of the examination room. He insisted that she had worked hard and wanted to treat her to a good meal at the restaurant.

Yang Niannian didn't want to spoil the fun, so she followed him to the restaurant.

Jiang Yang ordered a braised carp weighing more than two kilograms, a large plate of braised pork and spicy chicken, and asked the boss to stew a bone soup. He originally wanted to arrange some sweet and sour spare ribs, but at Yang Niannian's strong request, he replaced the ribs with small green vegetables.

While waiting for the food, Jiang Yang gloated, "I don't know what happened to Du Weili recently. Many factories complained that they didn't clean up the waste on time, and they all came to us."

"Maybe Du Weili is in a bad mood recently and has no intention of managing the scrap yard. It should be fine after a while." Yang Niannian guessed.

"That doesn't mean they can't pay their employees, right?" Jiang Yang was puzzled. "I heard that some employees went on strike because they couldn't get their wages. I don't know if that's true."

Yang Niannian felt that this rumor was untenable. Everyone could see how profitable collecting waste was. How much was the salary of the workers?

Besides, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Du Weili doesn't make money, he will definitely be unable to pay wages, unless Du Weili has developed bad habits and has been taken advantage of.

Thinking of this, Yang Niannian's eyes flashed, "How many tons of goods are there in the greenhouse now?"

Jiang Yang, "Several large factories have been added in the past few days. Currently, there are about 4 tons of scrap iron and steel."

Yang Niannian thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. "Master Zheng is almost too busy to handle one vehicle now, right? After dinner, we will go to the processing plant to find Zheng Haitian. Tomorrow, we will sell all the scrap metal and buy a tractor. You can hire a few long-term workers and make sure they go to clean up the factory waste on time. This is a good opportunity. As long as we seize it, it is not impossible to share Haicheng with Du Weili in the future."

Unless you don't want to do business, if you do it, you must want to make it bigger and stronger.

Du Weili has already established a firm foothold in this industry. It is not easy for them to get a piece of the pie, so they cannot waste this opportunity.

Jiang Yang's blood boiled after hearing this, but he was also a little worried, "Will Du Weili come to trouble us again?"

Last time I touched a few of Du Weili's clients, he came here. What if I make Du Weili angry and he does something behind my back?

As of now, they are simply unable to compete with Du Weili.

Although they have someone backing them up, after spending some time together, Jiang Yang has also realized that Lu Shishen is too upright and would not abuse his power.

Yang Niannian was confident. "It was his own poor management. The customer took the initiative to cooperate with us. Do we have to drive people away when the business is delivered to our door? We have no friendship with Du Weili. He is our competitor."

When it comes to doing business, the bold ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation. If you are afraid of retaliation from your peers when doing business, you might as well just lie down at home and sleep.

Jiang Yang felt relieved. When the food came, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. He felt very excited when he thought that they might become the rag king of Haicheng in the future.

The two were in good mood and had good appetites, and they finished all the food on the table.

After dinner, the two went directly to the scrap metal processing factory. Before they reached the gate, they saw a flame-colored sedan parked in front of the factory from afar. The car was not cheap and was comparable to Du Weili's.

"Is this car owned by Boss Zheng?" Jiang Yang looked at the car with shining eyes. He didn't know if he would have the chance to own a car like this in his lifetime.

"No." Yang Niannian shook her head. "Boss Zheng is a low-key person. He wouldn't drive such a flashy car."

Hearing Yang Niannian's words, Jiang Yang's mouth twitched, "Shall we go in now?"

Yang Niannian shook her head again, "There is an important person discussing something with Boss Zheng, let's not disturb them for now, let's wait until they leave before going in."

Jiang Yangquan listened to Yang Niannian. She said to wait, so he pushed his bicycle under a tree nearby and waited patiently. After about ten minutes, Zheng Haitian appeared at the factory gate.

Coming out with him was a man in his thirties with a smart look.

The man was dressed very formally, with a black briefcase tucked under his armpits and shiny hair. He looked like a big boss.

In contrast, Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang, who were standing next to the bicycles, looked particularly shabby.

As soon as Zheng Haitian walked out of the factory gate, he saw Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang. He did not show any abnormality. He sent the man to the car and watched the man leave before walking towards them.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Come on, go into the office and sit down."

Zheng Haitian didn't ask them why they didn't go in and find him directly, but from the smile on his face, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang's sensible behavior.

Yang Niannian was also very tactful and did not ask who the man who drove away was, and followed Zheng Haitian into the office.

"Boss Zheng, we came here today because we want to ship out another batch of goods tomorrow. My space is small and can only store about four or five tons of goods."

Zheng Haitian was not surprised that she had four or five tons of scrap metal so quickly. Instead, he said, "Today's price is the same as last time, still 1.6 yuan. Do you have any objections?"

Yang Niannian shook her head, "No problem."

She was already very satisfied that the price had not dropped.

Zheng Haitian nodded. This time, before Yang Niannian could speak, he took the initiative to say, "I'll notify the forklift driver to go to your place in the morning."

"Thanks."

Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang looked at each other. They were both very happy. Having a forklift could save a lot of manpower.

Knowing that Zheng Haitian had a big business and was quite busy, Yang Niannian tactfully said goodbye. Zheng Haitian sent the two of them to the factory gate and suddenly said something with a profound meaning.

"This period of time is a good opportunity. How far your scrap yard's business can expand in the future depends on your performance during this period. Work hard. I believe that with your brains, you will definitely achieve great things. The Yangtze River's back waves push forward the old waves, and this refers to energetic young people like you."

"Thank you, Boss Zheng. We will work hard and will not let you down." Yang Niannian said with a smile.

Jiang Yang rode his bicycle with Yang Niannian for a long way before he asked thoughtfully, "What did Boss Zheng mean by those last words?"

Yang Niannian pondered, "It seems that the incident at Du Weili's scrap yard is true. The situation may be more serious than we heard."

I used to think that Du Weili was in a bad mood and didn’t have the energy to manage the scrap yard, but now it seems that’s not the case.
