Qiao Jiangxin nodded and asked casually, "What friend? Are you on good terms with him?"
Gu Yunzhou did not hide it from her, "Well, he was from the same battalion as me, and he was my lifelong friend. He was also injured in the mission before I was injured. He was not as seriously injured as me, but he was disabled and could never return to the army."
"But he is a very optimistic person. Seeing that there is no hope in the army, he refused to accept the organization's arrangement to retire and return to his hometown. It seems that his parents in his hometown no longer care about him. So he asked a few of us brothers who have a good relationship with him to raise money, bought a truck, and started a business of moving goods.
But no one thought highly of him, and money was a very sensitive issue. The amount he asked for was quite large, and everyone had sons and daughters in their families, or parents and siblings who needed support, so they all refused in a roundabout way. ”
Gu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief. "I felt sorry for him at the time. I took him out but didn't bring him back safe and sound. Plus, you know what happened in my family. I was disheartened and didn't know if I would ever get ahead. I thought it was useless to keep the money. If he died one day, it would be a loss for my family. So I gave him most of my savings and also got some money from my grandfather."
"I thought the loss was just a loss, but I didn't expect this guy to be so capable. His business is booming and he now has several large trucks. I also benefited from it and became the largest shareholder of his company inexplicably."
Qiao Jiangxin's eyes lit up. "A freight company? This business is very popular."
Gu Yunzhou nodded, "Well, the business is good. Now he has a truck. A few years ago, he discussed with me and asked me to find a way to add two more trucks. The workers are basically veterans, and they are not only engaged in freight business, but also deal in goods themselves."
"The north and south are connected. The goods here are transported to the south, and then a truckload is brought back from the south. Anyway, it's quite profitable."
Gu Yunzhou fed Qiao Jiangxin a fried dumpling and said, "So I told you to take your time in making money. Don't worry. Although I'm in the military, I still make money every day. You can afford to support ten of them."
Qiao Jiangxin didn't expect that Gu Yunzhou was holding such a big golden egg.
When Gu Yunzhou gave her a house, Qiao Jiangxin suspected that he had other income. After all, a soldier's salary and allowances were so low.
Even if he saved all his money without spending a penny, he might not be able to buy the big house on Honglin Street at his age.
Qiao Jiang was delighted. "I suspected you had other ways before, but I didn't expect you to have such a big goose that lays golden eggs. Large trucks are not cheap. If we add two more, it will be eight in total. The price of the trucks alone is a huge asset."
Transportation is a profitable business in itself, and one can also trade in goods by oneself. Qiao Jiangxin himself started out as a peddler, so he knows first-hand how profitable it is.
What's more, they go to the south to bring goods back to sell. This is different from my small-scale business. The money they bring back is a lot of money.
Gu Yunzhou really enjoyed the admiration in Qiao Jiang's eyes. He felt that he was extremely awesome and he was not as happy as he was even when he received a military medal at the commendation ceremony.
"I'm lucky, as you know. I used to be in Ning County, and now I spend most of my time in the military camp. The operation of the company is basically handled by my comrade-in-arms, and I am responsible for making connections and building relationships with all parties.
Before, I thought it didn’t matter whether I made money or not, I wasn’t short of money, but things are different now, I have to take it seriously.
My partner is so hardworking and ambitious, I can’t fall behind, right? ”
After they had breakfast, Gu Yunzhou rode his bicycle and took Qiao Jiangxin to Changhong Transport Co., Ltd.
Changhong Transport Company is located at the end of Honglin Street, and it takes nearly 20 minutes by bike to get to Qiao Jiangxin's house. Although it is not in the most prosperous area, it is also in the city center.
Looking at the tall and big plaque above his head, the huge land surrounded by iron sheets, the large trucks unloading goods, the busy workers, and the huge warehouse, Qiao Jiangxin's mouth widened again.
