Chapter 272 Luo Chao
Zheng Wentao originally thought that it would be good to make a profit of 50 yuan from a washing machine. A washing machine should be more complicated than a television, and because only few families can afford it now, it can be considered a high-end household appliance. He did not expect to make a profit of 100 yuan.
"Brother Yi, is this washing machine the same as a TV?"
Zheng Hongtao looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"It's the same and we offer returns and exchanges. If you only want to buy a single-tub washing machine, just tell them we don't have it. That's the only type of washing machine in the warehouse over there."
Zhao Yi nodded in response.
Song Laosi and Xiao Mantou were standing not far from Zhao Yi and the others. They didn't dare to go up to unload the goods unless Zheng Hongtao asked them to help. These things were valuable items and if they were accidentally knocked or bumped, they would have to pay for it themselves.
"In addition to washing machines, we also have rice cookers. You can also pre-sell them. I will come to purchase the stocks based on how much you sell. Generally, department stores have the prices. If they don't have them, you can go to the Qiaohui counter to check.
Just don't sell at prices that are too outrageous. ”
Zhao Yi looked at Zheng Hongtao and gave him instructions.
"Got it, Brother Yi. Then we will instruct the porters to unload the goods."
Tang Wenjie also plans to pre-sell the products as long as someone asks. He does not plan to hire anyone to promote the products. He just wants to earn the money himself.
Anyway, he won’t deliver the goods to people’s homes, so those people have to pick them up themselves.
"Okay, just unload your seventy televisions and five washing machines. They're all in this truck."
Zhao Yi pointed at the second truck coming over and said.
As he spoke, Zheng Hongtao asked Song Laosi to walk to the front of the truck.
"Be careful and handle them with care. These are precious treasures. I'll charge you two dollars each for unloading the goods today. I'll return to the East District to deliver the pre-sold goods to you. We'll settle the bill then."
Zheng Hongtao directed Song Laosi and Xiao Mantou to get on the car and unload the goods.
The porters of the other truck were already familiar with the route to Zhao Yi's house. They each carried one TV upstairs. It was not that they could not move them, but they could not afford to pay for the damages. They were willing to make two more trips, as they were just doing the hard work anyway.
"Brother Yi."
Luo Chao smiled and greeted Zhao Yi when he saw him. He was also a porter in the transportation department, and this was his first time unloading goods from a truck. He didn't expect that it was a TV for Zhao Yi's family. He was still shocked. How much money would it take to buy a truck full of TVs?
"Xiao Chao, have you been able to adapt to the transportation department in the past two months?"
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
The driver saw Zhao Yi waving and calling Luo Chao over, but he did not step forward to stop him. Generally, the porters would listen to the driver's instructions. After all, the drivers are now the treasures of the transportation department, and not only in the transportation department, but also wherever they go, they are treasures and do not need to help unload the goods.
Zhao Yi is an old customer of the Transportation Department and they have a very special relationship, so he certainly wouldn't go up to him and make things uncomfortable.
"It's OK. I can earn 18 yuan a month. The food is better than at home. I can eat meat once every ten days."
Luo Chao scratched his head and said.
"Okay, work hard. I'll help you find a permanent job in the factory in a while. You need to ask the Labor and Personnel Department to find a way to transfer your household registration to the city. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Even if it's just fifty yuan for a gift, it's worth it."
Zhao Yi patted Luo Chao on the shoulder and said.
Luo Chao was very excited when he heard Zhao Yi say this. Others said that it might be a heartwarming remark, but Zhao Yi said he would help him find a job and he went to work in the Transportation Department the next day.
This is a man who can do what he says.
"Thank you, Brother Yi."
After saying this, Luo Chao ran to unload the goods.
Zhao Yi smiled and nodded. This kid is a down-to-earth and hardworking guy.
As for why he helped him get a formal job, it was not because Zhao Yi had nothing better to do, but because Zhao Youfu was about to take the college entrance examination. Of course, the money had to come from Luo Chao's family, and Zhao Yi could help run errands.
At that time, Luo Guangyou will have to run around for Zhao Youfu's affairs. As for wasting favors, it is not a big deal. Favors can be accumulated slowly.
What's more, the favors he has established with Li Mingzhu and the others are endless. The relationship between siblings cannot be severed just like that. Their daughters would bring gifts and call them uncle and aunt during festivals. It is not easy to refuse to ask Zhao Yi for help.
Director Tu was the same. He insisted on recognizing Zhao Yi as his sworn brother and would not refuse. He said that Zhao Yi liked Li Mingzhu but not Tu Jiao, and thus he had a sworn sister in a daze.
It didn't take long for Zheng Hongtao and his team to load the goods into their truck.
"Brother Yi, let's go back first and come back after the goods are sold out."
"Bon Voyage."
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
The goods were unloaded soon, and Luo Chao followed the driver back to the transportation department.
"Xiao Luo didn't expect that what you said was true. You really have relatives in the city."
A co-worker on the same car handed Luo Chao a cigarette and said with a smile.
Luo Chao smiled and said nothing. He and Zhao Yi were not really relatives. If there was any kinship, it was to Zhao Youfu's family. Their family was originally hired farmers of the Wang family. Fortunately, his father became the captain and never bullied the Wang family.
"Xiao Luo, your relative is not ordinary. You didn't know it before when you didn't come with them to unload the goods. It doesn't take long for them to get more goods. Each time, they bring in at least a truckload of goods. Every time, they bring in rare things like TVs. I don't know when we can afford to buy one to take home to satisfy our cravings."
"You have to support your family with your salary. How much can you have left at the end of the month?"
The driver then laughed.
He knew the salary of the porters, which was only 18 yuan a month. Those who came here to work were all villagers from nearby villages and had families. After deducting expenses, it would be good if they could save 5 yuan a month. A TV here costs 600 yuan. How many years would it take to save enough money to buy one?
"Just kidding."
The person who spoke responded somewhat embarrassedly.
He can't afford to offend the driver from the Ministry of Transport, otherwise he will definitely say who are you looking down on.
At the entrance of the department store.
"Boss, we have to go to the Liu family tonight."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused. He and Liu Wentao didn't have much contact. At most, he invited him to a banquet and he never owed him any wages. His family would not invite him over unless there was something important going on.
"I'm talking about our neighbor Liu's family. He fell and injured himself in the factory and stayed in the hospital for two days. There was no one to take care of his little girl at home, so I helped take care of her for two days. He was discharged from the hospital today and invited us to have dinner with him."
Zhang Jing explained with a smile.
"Oh, then let's go and take a look."
When Zhao Yi heard about this, he nodded. It was normal for neighbors to help each other. Every family has big or small things to deal with.
"Did you send any gifts?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"You have to tell me that. I sent a can of food to the hospital. It's nothing serious. I just need to rest for a month or two."
Zhang Jing nodded.
