As if on cue, Xu Da heard someone call his name and quickly ran over: "Chairman Yan, you were looking for me?"
"Xu Da, our factory needs trucks soon. Can you find a reliable driver?" Shen Shaohua asked eagerly.
"Yes, we have two drivers in our security department. They are both very good drivers, but unfortunately they were hit by stray bullets while transporting supplies. The wounds were in bad places, so they had to retire. But they should be able to drive without any problems."
Yan Xiaonan knew that the drivers in the military were not only good at driving, but also at minor repairs. However, he still needed to confirm. Sure enough, the two of them laughed happily when they heard that they could be the drivers.
Yan Xiaonan asked about some problems she encountered while driving in her previous life, such as what to do if a tire blows out, what to do if the wheel gets stuck in a pothole, what to do if the battery dies, and what to do if she hits someone. As for more profound questions, Yan Xiaonan herself didn't know the answers.
The two drivers laughed. First of all, hitting someone was absolutely impossible. Secondly, these problems were very easy to handle. A series of explanations made Yan Xiaonan feel suffocated. Those unscrupulous 4S shops, it's just a matter of giving a jump start when the battery is dead, but they still charge me hundreds of yuan.
There was only one car, so there was no need for two drivers. Xu Da simply chose them based on their driving experience: one had been driving for four years, and the other for more than two years. The one with more than two years of driving experience had to regretfully return to his original job. However, Yan Xiaonan reassured him that when the factory purchased a second car, he would be the one to drive it.
A few days later, Ye Chenming had someone deliver the order to pick up the truck. Southwest, along with Xu Da and the driver, rushed over and saw a brand-new green four-ton truck. They were overjoyed and didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until the staff inside spoke up that they realized what was happening. So, Southwest went to complete the vehicle pick-up procedures, and after getting the keys and fuel card, Xu Da led the driver into the truck and started a test drive. The driver skillfully started the engine, proudly honked the horn, and the truck slowly started moving.
Southwest watched the trucks circling in the parking lot, his heart pounding with excitement. He clenched his fists and vowed to himself that he would definitely help Nan Nan manage this furniture factory well, he would!
Holding the gas card, they drove to the designated refueling station. The diesel smelled really good. Southwest took a deep breath and inhaled the smell intensely. Xu Da blinked. Had Director Yan gone mad? Didn't he know that smelling this was bad for his health?
After refueling, the car drove towards the Beijing Furniture Factory. Ye Chen'er, Yan Aidang, and others waited at the gate. As soon as they saw the outline of the car in the distance, Yan Aidang lit firecrackers. The crackling sound of the firecrackers drew every employee to the gate, where they stood on tiptoe to look outside.
The truck horn beeped as it drove into the factory amidst the sound of firecrackers. As soon as Southwest got out of the truck, Yan Aidang put his arm around his shoulder: "Southwest, how are you feeling?"
"Awesome!" Southwest answered loudly.
Everyone burst into laughter. Ye Chen'er glanced at Southwest, and even this usually taciturn man was starting to get excited. Sure enough, cars are men's favorite.
Ye Chen'er took the delivery slips and started making arrangements. The four-ton truck could carry at least three or four sets of furniture. She already had thirty or forty delivery slips in her hand. In just a few days, they had sold thirty or forty sets of furniture, not counting pre-orders.
With this truck, the furniture could be delivered quickly. Shen Shaohua was a very clever manager who had arranged for some apprentices and cleaners to appear when the furniture needed to be moved.
Watching the furniture sets being loaded onto the truck, Ye Chen'er and Xu Da were also present. Xinan ran towards the factory with peace of mind. It seemed that they needed to speed up the production and bring in more wood, as there wasn't much old furniture left in the warehouse.
The original investment of 300,000 yuan had been almost spent. To improve productivity, it was necessary to upgrade the equipment, but there was not enough money, so they could only wait it out. Nan Nan's money was a timely help. Not only did they buy a truck, but they were also able to pay for the equipment.
Seeing that many of the furniture factory's equipment were old and dilapidated, Tang Jianjun started contacting his old friends. He sent several telegrams and finally received a reply. It was from a small workshop that specialized in providing woodworking equipment. The people there were very skilled, but unfortunately, the furniture factory in town was about to close down, and their business was gone.
Tang Jianjun's telegram overjoyed them; someone wanted the equipment stored in the warehouse. These honest craftsmen dared not ship the equipment themselves, so they sent three skilled craftsmen to transport it to the capital.
These three were lucky. The furniture factory really needed maintenance personnel for these equipment, and Tang Jianjun managed to keep them at the Beijing furniture factory to work. Fortunately, each dormitory was equipped with four bunk beds, and the three of them, along with the original five people, were able to fill all the beds in the two rooms.
When the truck was delivering goods, Yan Xiaonan had someone put a gong and drum at the back of the truck. As the truck drove off, the gong and drum kept playing. People thought someone had retired honorably, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was a furniture factory delivering furniture.
Those who bought furniture straightened their backs when they saw their furniture being delivered in such a grand manner. They looked so proud, as if they had bought a large courtyard house in Beijing.
With the sound of gongs and drums, people who love to join in the fun followed the truck. They initially thought the family had bought a whole truckload of stuff, but after it was all unloaded, they realized they had only bought one set. However, the furniture was truly eye-catching and beautiful in the new house.
As more people looked, many became interested and went to the department store to look around for a long time. However, they were simply too broke to make a purchase on the spot. The dozen or so sales clerks, seeing these people just looking and not buying, simply rolled their eyes and didn't even bother to answer. They were department store sales clerks, after all, and quite proud of themselves.
But ever since Yan Xiaonan asked them to return several people with bad attitudes, they have become much more sensible. However, bad habits are hard to break. If there are no furniture factory people present, they will show their true colors. Yan Xiaonan really doesn't understand. They are just sales clerks. What are they so arrogant about?
What these people didn't know was that their good days were numbered. Yan Xiaonan was going to send them all back, and if the department store didn't offer them new jobs, they would have to go home and eat dry food.
Yan Xiaonan has asked Grandma Wang to find another ten or eight people, and has decided that their wages and benefits will be handled by the furniture factory. In other words, they will no longer be sales clerks, but if the furniture factory needs them, they can work there.
Grandma Wang agreed with a smile. Now, every time Grandma Wang goes home, she's greeted like Empress Dowager Cixi. The people from the garrison line the streets to welcome her, hoping that when they need to recruit, Grandma Wang can recommend them.
