Liu Yang's curiosity was piqued by Jiang Cheng's words.
With food in his mouth, he asked with a gossipy look, "What did you see? Something about the neighbors?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "No!"
What is that?
Liu Yang lost interest. The neighbors had no gossip to share. Did you expect me to talk about national affairs?
Who has the time or inclination to worry about that stuff?
Jiang Cheng said excitedly, "I saw people from your Morning Star team when I went to buy rice and flour today."
Liu Yang scoffed, "My factory's people are always out and about, what's so strange about that?"
“No, this time is different,” Jiang Cheng said. “Your factory workers are using a tricycle to haul goods.”
Liu Yang tilted his head.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tricycles? Um... it seems like they've been tinkering with those lately, driving them around the factory all day long, making the workers sick of them. What's so strange about that?"
Jiang Cheng said seriously, "This tricycle is pretty good. It can carry two tons of goods, which is much better than other tricycles."
"I don't know about that," Liu Yang said. "I haven't been paying much attention. Why are you asking?"
"Take some time to find out if this tricycle is manufactured by you, and whether you're selling it."
"Isn't that obvious?" Liu Yang rolled his eyes. "It's definitely manufactured by us. I saw the production line with my own eyes, but it seems the engine was custom-made."
Then, Liu Yang asked with some surprise, "You want to buy it?"
Jiang Cheng slapped his thigh: "That's right!"
Liu Yang put down his chopsticks, his brows furrowed: "Why did you buy this thing? You can just leave now."
"Look at you," Jiang Cheng said with an expression that said, "I don't know anything. I'm already like this, I can't even work properly. Wouldn't it be better to get a tricycle for cargo transportation?"
Liu Yang was completely stunned.
Buy a tricycle for freight transport?
Is this thing reliable?
That's a bit of a stretch.
Liu Yang objected, saying, "Stop it, a tricycle is no good at all. A tractor is better. How can we afford a tractor?"
"Besides, even if we're a tricycle dealership, do you have the money to buy one or do I?"
"Now that you've bought it, how are you going to find work?"
"There are too many problems, don't even think about it."
Jiang Cheng was somewhat displeased: "Why not? I can live my whole life without doing any work?"
Liu Yang reassured him, "I'm here for you, I make a lot of money."
“Who would complain about having too much money?” Jiang Cheng glared.
Liu Yang sighed: "I really don't want to agree with your idea. First, the tricycle is still in the experimental stage, and we have no idea whether it's good or not. As far as the tricycles on the market are concerned, we can't even find those things useful."
"Secondly, even if my factory produces excellent tricycles, do you know how much they cost? We don't have any money at all!"
"Third, how will you find work? Your legs aren't strong enough for heavy work, how will you load and unload cargo?"
Jiang Cheng had already thought of this: "That's why I asked you to ask how much money you're getting. As for how to find work, that goes without saying."
“The transportation companies in our county went out of business a long time ago. These disbanded drivers and trucks have all been transferred to individuals, and now they are running around doing odd jobs for themselves.”
“There is definitely work available. I can’t do heavy work, but I can just charge a lower price. It’s a way to make a living.”
In those days, transportation companies previously bore the brunt of cargo transportation responsibilities.
Later, with market reforms, people with some money began to buy their own trucks and compete with transportation companies for jobs.
With competition, the price of transporting goods will naturally decrease.
This has dealt a significant blow to the pricing of transportation companies.
However, transportation companies also use methods to crack down on individual transportation businesses.
Personal transportation services suffered a heavy blow and at one point disappeared altogether.
But gradually, the transportation company could no longer bear the heavy burden.
It could be said that a transportation company also operates a staff hospital, a kindergarten, a garment factory, a repair shop, and so on.
This refers to the various tertiary industries.
These unprofitable tertiary industries directly dragged the transportation company down.
At the national level, shedding burdens has become the mainstream sentiment.
With transportation companies losing their absolute policy advantage, personal transportation services have emerged.
Ultimately, the transportation company had to abandon freight transport and instead focus on passenger transport.
This is what later became a passenger station.
Now, freight transport by transportation companies has almost disappeared, with the entire market share taken over by individual drivers.
Liu Yang remained silent for a long time.
She knew more or less about this.
The transportation company is not dead but still exists, but it no longer has the ability to monopolize the transportation market.
There is an urgent need for logistics and transportation in the market.
but……
Are tricycles a bit unreliable for short-distance transportation?
After all, the reputation of this tricycle was so bad that even if it was produced by Qimingxing, it couldn't change Liu Yang's opinion.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Think about it, how much cargo is transported back and forth between our county and Jiangcheng every day? Some small business owners who don't own vehicles rely on shuttle buses to deliver goods. How can a tricycle get there faster?"
Liu Yang pouted: "I'm afraid the tricycle won't work."
"You don't have confidence in the products in your own factory?"
Liu Yang was taken aback for a moment: "Okay, I'll find out for you. The important thing is the price. If you can't afford it, then you should just give up."
Jiang Cheng replied, "I'll find out first."
The next day.
Liu Yang rides his bicycle to work.
As soon as they arrived at the factory area, they saw Qian Wang and others already racing.
Liu Yang held a team meeting, greeted Zhang Liaoliao, and headed to the office building.
