Chapter 531 Goods are OK
Li Yiming received a phone call and brought two hundred yuan with him.
Huang Ling said that she would give Jiang Biao two hundred yuan first and ask him to arrange for his brother's family to go to Beijing, and then give him the rest after confirming how much money was needed.
Jiang Biao returned home happily and asked his elder brother to prepare to take the child to Beijing for treatment.
Zhu Xiuyu returned home.
Huang Ling, Li Yiming and Chu Wanghai stayed for the meeting.
Chu Wanghai felt as if he had been hit by frost. He murmured:
"I always think I'm the smartest person in the world, but I'm actually nothing! I can't even see through this little trick! I'm really stupid!"
Li Yiming comforted him:
"Wang Hai, do you know how many people out there are jealous of us? I can't even count them. It's not scary when ordinary people are jealous, but it's people with some skills or background who are scary. Let alone you, I've been tricked more than once, but luckily, I was able to turn the danger into safety. It's normal. Just be careful next time."
"I understand. I will check it out." Chu Wanghai nodded.
Jiang Biao only went to deliver the money and did not accompany his elder brother and sister-in-law to Beijing. Huang Ling would arrange everything, so he was not worried. He had to stay and continue delivering the goods that had not been delivered.
With a swollen face, he went to see the middleman Cao Jianmin at night and cursed:
"I almost got into trouble in the suburbs, so I came back first. I'll take a different route tomorrow. Tell your client that I'll be a day late."
Cao Jianmin knew that this was a common occurrence.
"Hey, Brother Cao, we've worked together several times, and I'm a little short of money lately. Could you recommend some big deals to me?"
Every time I go back to Suzhou from out of province, I take my car to the repair shop for an overhaul. It usually takes two or three days, and I'm familiar with the guys there! I can just say my car's broken down, and they'll be free for a week or even two weeks... You should let me earn more money, too!"
Cao Jianmin was very happy to hear this and started planning it immediately.
This time, there was a lot of goods, and Cao Jianmin saw that Jiang Biao only sampled a part of them.
"Oh, you're not checking each item one by one this time," Cao Jianmin said with a smile.
"Before, it was shipped together with our company's goods. I was afraid that if there were any problems with our company's goods, we'd get into trouble. Now it's just yours, so why should I be afraid? Anyway, I only care about the number of pieces when I go to the customer, I don't care about the inside. Don't cheat me!"
"I know, I know. You have the note as evidence! You are quite smart, kid, I didn't realize it." Cao Jianmin shook the two copies of the note in his hand.
"What's so smart about that? Brother Cao, please don't laugh at me. I just learned this from them while working in this company. The main reason is that I'm poor! I can't afford to pay either side." Jiang Biao said it naturally, and Cao Jianmin didn't doubt it at all.
"That's fine! Don't worry, I'm here to save you money on shipping. The goods are genuine and the prices are fair. I won't rip you off. I'll also check your return shipment carefully to make sure nothing is missing."
"Okay, I do this every day! Don't worry!"
Of course, if you go to a farther place, you have to arrange a return trip, otherwise it will not be worth it for both Cao Jianmin and Jiang Biao.
Before discussing this matter with Cao Jianmin, Chu Wanghai told Jiang Biao to make sure to discuss the return trip, otherwise it would be exposed, so Jiang Biao seriously negotiated the price with Cao Jianmin for a long time before finally finalizing it.
He loaded the goods, got into the car, and drove out of the city to the place where he had agreed to meet Chu Wanghai.
Huang Ling's jeep arrived a little earlier than his and stopped there waiting.
Chu Wanghai and Li Yiming were outside the car, Huang Ling was inside the car, and Chen Wenfu was squatting beside the car and poking the mud on the tires with a branch.
"Hey, Mr. Huang! Why are you here to join in the fun? Are you feeling uncomfortable in the office?" Chu Wanghai lifted his foot and looked at the mud on his shoes.
"Curious." Huang Ling did not answer, Li Yiming answered for her.
Chen Wenfu walked around to the trunk, took out a pair of rain boots and handed them in through the window, then continued:
"A Ling, please change into the overshoes in my car and come down, otherwise you won't be able to keep your little leather shoes when you get home."
"Oh, okay, thank you brother." Huang Ling hurriedly got into the car to change.
Jiang Biao parked the car a little further away, fearing that the mud from the car would splash onto everyone.
Chu Wanghai and Chen Wenfu took out several rolls of tarpaulin from the trunk and spread them on the rear of the truck. They simply took off their shoes and walked barefoot onto the tarpaulin to check the goods.
After working for a long time, they found that there was nothing wrong with the goods. Huang Ling, Li Yiming and Chu Wanghai fell into deep thought.
"Are we... overthinking it? Do they just want to borrow our car to transport goods and save money?" Chu Wanghai asked.
"I always feel like something is wrong." Huang Ling shook her head.
"No." Li Yiming also responded.
"I...I also think there is no problem with the goods, because he actually arranged the return freight." Jiang Biao took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Chu Wanghai.
"That could be fake!" Chu Wanghai took it and looked at it. "The product is electronic components. Look at the size and number of boxes. I calculated that it will fit on this truck. It looks really good."
Chu Wanghai is professional in this area.
Huang Ling took the notebook and uttered a questioning "hmm".
"Auntie, what's wrong? Is there any problem?" Chu Wanghai asked nervously.
Huang Ling did not answer, but held the notebook in front of Li Yiming. Li Yiming took a look and exclaimed "Ah".
The two saw a familiar name in the notebook: Zhuang Ganmei.
He was the consignee in Suzhou for Jiang Biao's return trip.
"This is really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple!" Huang Ling joked.
Li Yiming smiled helplessly: "Should we give this thing away or not..."
"Well... leaders, there's one more thing... Lao Cao told me that if the consignee asked where the goods came from, he asked me to say they came from Sichuan. Is there any problem with that? I thought he deliberately said it was farther away in order to charge more for shipping..." Jiang Biao interrupted everyone and stammered.
In fact, he just went to Xuancheng.
He could see that these people might be thinking differently from him, so he brought up this special point to see if everyone had different opinions.
Huang Ling and Li Yiming looked at each other and nodded.
"We are just doing freight business. As long as the goods can be transported, it's fine. The affairs of the upstream and downstream parties are none of our business. We should not interfere in the cause and effect of others." Huang Lingchao said to Li Yiming.
Li Yiming nodded quickly.
Huang Ling handed the notebook back to Jiang Biao and then explained:
“The cargo is fine this time, but you still have to be careful on the road. Wang Hai has sent three people to wait for you at the next rest stop to accompany you on this trip. It’s safer with more people.
It is also possible that this is just a test, we will see as we go.
I don’t mind if your belongings are lost, or if your car is lost, as long as you are safe, your safety is the most important thing, understand?”
"I understand. Don't worry." Jiang Biao nodded.
"I'm worried, I can't let go at all. If you don't obey me, I won't care about your nephew anymore!"
"Did you hear that? Let's go!" Chu Wanghai patted Jiang Biao's shoulder.
The group watched the delivery truck leave.
"Auntie, don't worry. I've asked someone to keep an eye on that Cao guy and dig deeper to see if there's any problem."
"Wang Hai, we should not only keep an eye on them but also check on our peers. We didn't disturb them, so if they want to disturb us, don't be polite. If you are short of people, ask me." Li Yiming is now a very mature businessman and has his own way of dealing with such things.
But as far as Chu Wanghai knows, the threshold for this industry is high. One must be a driver and have money to buy a car, so there are not many peers. Some small peers have been taken under Chu Wanghai's wing, and when there is a lot of work, he will assign it to them.
It seems that those are the ones who are not very cooperative.
"I understand, brother." In private, Chu Wanghai called him much more affectionately.
Anyway, he is like a frightened bird now and is extremely cautious.
Just as she was thinking about it, Huang Ling spoke again: "Don't be afraid of the ropes after being bitten once. Just do what you need to do. If you are confused, panicked, and anxious, that's exactly what the other party wants to see."
"knew."
Li Yiming saw Chu Wanghai supporting Huang Ling, who was taking one step at a time, so he walked towards the car first. Huang took the opportunity to say to Chu Wanghai:
"If you don't have enough manpower to help with the investigation Sister Yu asked you to do, just put it aside for now. It's not urgent anyway. Take care of the company's business first."
"Aunt, I used my connections in Wuxi. They said they had already found out and he would come to Suzhou to meet me in the next two days. I originally wanted to tell you after he came." Chu Wanghai replied.
