Chapter 532: An old acquaintance did it
Chu Wanghai investigated Cao Jianmin for a while and finally found a clue.
At this time, another driver, Lao Qian, who had returned from another place, found Chu Wanghai mysteriously and put a pack of cigarettes on Chu Wanghai's desk.
"Give me such good cigarettes!" Chu Wanghai picked up the cigarettes and looked at them. They were high-end products, a brand that Lao Qian would not buy.
Old Qian said seriously, "Brother Hai, someone is looking for me."
Lao Qian is actually in his forties, but he calls Chu Wanghai "Brother Hai" like everyone else. He is Zhou Huaiyi's comrade-in-arms who came from another place to join him.
Chu Wanghai was excited and said while holding the cigarette: "Xie Chang"
Lao Qian nodded:
"That pockmarked guy from the auto repair shop said he wanted to treat me to a drink, but it turned out he wasn't the only one who showed up. Xie Chang was also there."
Xie Chang has a small truck and has worked with Dasheng several times.
"What did you say?" Chu Wanghai asked.
"He didn't say anything, he just gave me the cigarette. I think I should accept it, otherwise they will become suspicious. Besides, I think he should have come to more than just me. The owner of the small restaurant said that Boss Xie has been treating people to dinner here every day these days." Lao Qian knocked on his cigarette, glanced out the window, and whispered.
Chu Wanghai slammed the cigarette onto the table:
"I traced it back to him, too. I thought it was one of those I hadn't worked with before, that they were holding a grudge against me for not giving them the order. I never thought it was him."
"Oh, the food in that small restaurant tastes really good. Please invite me to dine there next time. Also, compensate me with some good cigarettes!" Lao Qian stood up and said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem."
Lao Qian went out and closed the door.
Chu Wanghai opened the pack of cigarettes and poured them out on the table. Each cigarette was flattened.
He talked to a few drivers, asked them questions and observed their performance, which was what he was good at.
It seems that Lao Qian was right, Xie Chang was looking for more than just him.
Chu Wanghai finally figured out Xie Chang's purpose.
Because they had worked together before, Xie Chang was quite familiar with Dasheng. It was not difficult for him to understand the situation of the drivers. He mainly got in touch with these drivers through the employees of the auto repair shop.
He was very smart and knew that if he asked Jiang Biao to transport some goods of unknown origin, he would also get into trouble. Maybe Chu Wanghai would then push the matter onto the driver and it would not affect Dasheng at all, so the goods he arranged were all real orders.
He wanted to win over Dasheng's drivers to help take private orders, in order to make some money and disrupt Dasheng's normal business operations.
First, he targeted Jiang Biao who needed money. After achieving his goal, Xie Chang began to win over other drivers. However, he didn't know that Chu Wanghai had already noticed it.
Xie Chang has made some money in recent years and can afford a few cars. He wants to disrupt Dasheng's operations first and then poach a few drivers. When Dasheng can no longer operate, he might be able to buy Dasheng's cars at a low price and eventually replace Dasheng.
Even if he couldn't bring down Dasheng in a short time, it wouldn't be a big loss for him. It would be easier for him to make money by letting these drivers take private orders than by cooperating with Dasheng.
Chu Wanghai adjusted the itinerary and gathered everyone together for a meal.
At the end of the meal, he began to speak:
"I know that more and more people want to work in our industry now. With the book in hand, you will be popular wherever you go. Of course, you will work with whoever pays the most. I think there is no problem with that.
If someone offers more than me and you still want to go, just tell me openly. I'll treat you to a farewell drink and give you every penny of your salary and bonus. We'll all be friends when we meet on the road."
Some people were whispering to each other, while others were feeling nervous.
"We, Dasheng, are a subsidiary of Dingsheng Group. I don't need to tell you about our background, so you all know it! As for the other small bosses, you can judge for yourself whether their promises are trustworthy.
But there is only one thing: once you leave my place, you can never come back, so everyone should think carefully before making a decision."
The discussion grew louder, and Chu Wanghai continued:
"Also, if I find drivers using company cars to take private orders again, it won't just be a matter of firing them. If the company's goods are delayed or damaged, you will have to compensate the company for the losses. I will consider whether to report it to the police depending on the severity of the situation."
Everyone knows about Jiang Biao being beaten a few days ago. At first, Luo Zhao told everyone that the two brothers had some conflicts. Later, no one knew who heard it or someone got the news from Xie Chang, anyway, privately, everyone knew that he took private orders.
But today, everyone is here except Jiang Biao.
Everyone knew that Jiang Biao had been fired.
"From today on, Chen Qianjin will serve as the captain of the second team, replacing Jiang Biao. His salary will be raised to the captain level from this month. If he performs well, he will receive the annual bonus at the captain level." Chu Wanghai patted Chen Qianjin who was sitting next to him.
Someone started applauding, and the atmosphere went from tense to relaxed.
Everyone urged Chen Qianjin to treat them all, and Chen Qianjin readily agreed.
After dinner, everyone left, leaving only Luo Zhao and Chu Wanghai.
Luo Zhao didn't dare to speak, but just sighed softly.
Chu Wanghai knew what Luo Zhao was thinking, so he put his arm around his shoulders and said:
"Zhao, I have to admit that I didn't fire Ah Biao directly before because I was playing a bait and buying time to find out more. Now everything has been investigated clearly, and he agreed to all of this, as you know! I also discussed this decision with him, as you know!
I know that what I did was not righteous and that I was burning bridges, but I couldn't just pretend nothing had happened and let him continue working in the company. Otherwise, everyone would think it was a small matter and that a quick criticism would be enough."
Luo Zhao lowered his head: "I understand, but what will he do if he loses his job?"
"Don't worry, he is my brother, I can't just ignore him. I plan to help him open an auto repair shop." Chu Wanghai patted Luo Zhao's shoulder.
Luo Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Wanghai.
"He enjoys this and has good skills. I've already seen the shop. It's a little out of the way, but right on the main road out of town. There are a few small restaurants nearby, and many cars leaving the city stop there."
Chu Wanghai explained the situation again, and Luo Zhao immediately said, "Then I'll also contribute some money... I can buy shares, right? He'll pay me back when he makes money later."
"I think it's okay, as long as my sister-in-law agrees. We can go and help when we have a break. We can fix a car and ask him to pay us."
"well!"
------Postscript by Jiang Biao
Jiang Biao had known the outcome for a long time and was willing to accept it. When Chu Wanghai and Luo Zhao brought him to the door of the auto repair shop they had prepared and told him that he would be the boss there, he was stunned and surprised, and stood there crying like a child:
"Brother, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it... I don't deserve you to be so nice to me..."
"You definitely did something wrong, and I will always hold a grudge against you for this, but I will never forget that you saved my life, so you have to do business well, make a lot of money and become a big boss in the future. When I can't work anymore, you have to support me, oh, and my whole family." Chu Wanghai said.
"And my whole family, thank you! Your sister-in-law gave birth to two children for me in her lifetime." Luo Zhao raised his two fingers.
"You're still calling me when you have both a son and a daughter! I think you know I was dumped and you're deliberately poking at my sore spot, right?"
Chu Wanghai jumped up and pounced on Luo Zhao, while still greeting him:
"A Biao, go! If this kid can't be cured, he'll go to heaven!"
The three of them got into a fight in front of a shop called "A Biao Auto Repair Shop".
