Chapter 19 New Cooperation Plan

Yang Wendong was overjoyed, but his expression didn't show much. He asked, "Mr. Brian, how do you think we should cooperate?"

Brian thought for a moment and said, "We'll pay you HK$20 per week, just like before, and you need to guarantee that the rats in our warehouse will be completely gone within three months."

Yang Wendong immediately shook his head and rejected the idea, saying, "Mr. Brian, it is impossible to make rats extinct. If it were that easy, rats would not have become the biggest scourge of human civilization.

Even large food warehouses in Europe and the United States cannot guarantee that they are completely free of rats. A few years ago, Polar Bear conducted a nationwide rat eradication campaign because their granaries were seriously infested with rats.

Not to mention now, even in a few decades, in the 21st century, there is no guarantee that there will be no rats in large domestic granaries, and that is in an era of technology with extremely advanced infrared cameras and sensors.

Of course, the number is already very small. The fundamental reason is the physical isolation of concrete infrastructure. Although Hong Kong’s warehouses are also made of concrete, they cannot provide absolute defense.

Brian thought for a moment and asked again, "But how do I know if you will deliberately relax and cause some mice not to be caught, so as to continue our cooperation?
Well, the "you" here does not refer to you, but any possible person. In business, I only consider possibilities. Even if you are my good friend, I will raise such questions. "

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Mr. Brian has considered it very comprehensively. There is a phrase in Chinese called 'raising the enemy to protect oneself', which means the same thing. This kind of situation may happen not only in this cooperation, but also in many other situations.

However, my goal is definitely not just the Jordan warehouse, but the warehouse business in nearby towns and even other towns. If I stick to this place, I will only lose money because I only make HK$20 a week, which is not a lot. I can also make that much by setting up a stall.”

Brian looked at Yang Wendong seriously, then nodded and said, "Yes, I thought too much. So, if the damage to goods caused by rats in my warehouse is significantly reduced within half a month, I will recommend you to other warehouses."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Brian, I will do my best." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Coming to Hong Kong in the 50s, he, who came from a poor family, seemed to have no choice but to start from the most basic business like many self-made tycoons.

Only by relying on his own efforts can he seek the recognition of everyone who may bring him more business, and thus develop himself with the help of other people's networks.

Brian took another look at the mouse on the snakeskin bag on the ground and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Thank you, Mr. Brian." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

He did not negotiate the price of the cooperation, because what he needed now was an opportunity to enter this industry, especially since professional rat extermination companies still did not exist in Hong Kong today.

As long as there are results, it will be a very good advertisement, especially if you can make use of the relationship between Brian and Elena, it will put your career on the right track sooner.

On the way back:
"In the long run, only 20 yuan a week? It seems a bit uneconomical for the four of us?" Lin Haoyu, who had been relatively silent, asked.

Zhao Liming also said, "Yes, Brother Dong, we made more money from setting up stalls before."

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "If we only run one warehouse, it's not cost-effective. We have to spend more time on the commute every day. But what if we can run a few more stores near the Jordan warehouse? Each store costs 20 per week, what will happen?"

"That's fine, but I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it with just a few of us," Zhao Liming said again.

Yang Wendong said: "Actually not. Although we have been very busy these few days, that's because we have just started. There are many rats in the warehouse, and it takes a lot of effort to kill them all.

When the number decreases and we become more skilled in the business, it will be much easier. Maybe we can just go to a few warehouses every day to collect the dead rats and put out some baits. "

Su Yiyi asked again: "But there is always a limit, right?"

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "If the four of us skilled workers are too busy to handle it, then we will make a fortune. It means that our business is getting bigger and bigger. Then we can hire people to do the work and we will be the boss." Zhao Liming said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you are the boss, and we just need to follow you."

Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, “We have shared hardships, and I will certainly share the joys in the future. However, for now, in terms of fund allocation, I still need to keep the profits with me, so that I can make more money in the future.

When we make more money in the future, I will definitely give you more good things and won’t let you suffer any loss.”

It’s not that Yang Wendong is stingy. He will definitely not treat those who follow him to start a business unfairly, especially since they have a good relationship with each other before starting a business.

But from the perspective of maximizing profits, in the early stages of entrepreneurship, all profits still need to be kept in one's own hands, so as to ensure that the money can continue to make money.

"What is a copper rod?" Lin Haoyu suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Yang Wendong was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Share the joys and sorrows. This is an idiom, which means to face difficulties together and enjoy the wealth together. It means something similar."

"Oh oh." Lin Haoyu understood.

Zhao Liming asked with a smile: "Brother Dong, when can we live in a house like that?"

Yang Wendong followed the direction he pointed, and it was a normal residential building. If it was before, he would not even dare to think about it, but in the past month, following Yang Wendong's business, he felt that his life had changed dramatically.

Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "If we buy it, it will take a long time, but if we rent it, as long as we continue to work hard and the business goes well, it shouldn't take long."

The housing prices in Hong Kong are not expensive now, but they are not affordable for those who have just started a small business. However, if they can negotiate for a larger number of other warehouses later, then renting a house will not be a problem.

"Really?" Su Yiyi's eyes lit up.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Really."

"That's great." Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu were also very excited. They had never dared to think about leaving the dormitory and living in a brick house.
"You have to study harder in the future, otherwise it won't work if you rely on me alone." Yang Wendong said again.

"Well, don't worry, Brother Dong. I will study and work hard even if I die of exhaustion." Zhao Liming almost swore to the sky.

"Okay, let's go quickly, it won't rain again." Yang Wendong smiled.

In this era, most Hong Kong people, including him, are only pursuing the most basic living environment.

He really can't stand the environment he lives in now.

The cage houses in Hong Kong that were later criticized were a thousand times better than the shanty towns of today.
