Chapter 20: Senior Brother 2 on the Wind
Chapter 20: The Second Brother on the Wind
For the next half month, the only thing Yang Wendong and his team did was to go to the Jordan warehouse to kill rats. Yang Wendong even stayed there several times at night just to experience for himself the effectiveness of his team's rat extermination.
One morning, Yang Wendong woke up in the corner of the warehouse and woke up several people around him.
"Brother Dong, I don't want to go back. Working the night shift here is more comfortable than sleeping at home." Zhao Liming said with a smile.
Lin Haoyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, there is not even any wind, it is really comfortable."
"But it's not a long-term solution." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It's impossible for them to let us stay here every day."
Because over this period of time, the number of rats in the warehouse has indeed decreased significantly, which has saved the warehouse a lot of inspection work.
Therefore, Brian agreed to stay in the warehouse for a few nights on the pretext of further rat extermination.
Zhao Liming yawned and said, "Brother Dong, I'll go check the mousetrap first to see how many mice have been caught."
"Come together, I also want to write down the effect of each position." After Yang Wendong said this, he took out a notebook and pen from the bag beside him.
In the short term, he needs to make catching mice his career. Although he has many mouse-catching tricks from the Internet in his mind, these theories are limited in actual effect, but they still need to be learned.
He needs to standardize a set of mouse-catching experience as soon as possible and then teach others, because if the business expands in the future, it will be unrealistic to rely on him alone.
To prepare for the future, you don’t have to look for people yet, but you must be prepared with methods.
"Let's go together." Su Yiyi also said.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Then you should also summarize your experience together."
The four men followed the walls and pillars and surrounded the warehouse, and found a total of 6 mice.
"Have you noticed that the mice we caught are getting smaller and smaller? This means that more large ones in their group have died." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Su Yiyi asked: "Are there more large mice?"
Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "That's the opposite. They come out more often, eat more, and naturally grow fatter. So the chances of them being caught in our traps are naturally much higher."
"So that's how it is." Su Yiyi thought about it and felt that it made sense.
He looked at Yang Wendong again and saw him drawing some house structure diagrams, arrows, text annotations, etc. on the notebook. After looking at it for a while, he said, "I don't understand any of this. Brother Dong, your handwriting is so complicated now. It's amazing."
"It's something you learn through practice. You can practice on the sand first. I'll buy you paper and pens later." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Pens and paper were also very expensive in Hong Kong in the 50s because they were all imported. Many industrial products that could not be produced locally in Hong Kong were very expensive.
This is completely different from the cheap industrial products society that many people in the mainland are accustomed to in later generations.
His cheap pen cost 6 dollars, which is equivalent to 3 to 5 days' salary for the lower class in Hong Kong. If he hadn't made some money recently, he would not have been willing to spend it.
"Yeah." Su Yiyi nodded and looked at Yang Wendong with some admiration. During this period of time, the lives of herself and others had become much better because of him.
After walking around the warehouse and dealing with all the mousetraps, he was about to go back when he saw Brian, the boss of the warehouse, coming over.
He walked towards Yang Wendong with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Yang, I have good news for you." "What good news?" Yang Wendong also asked with a smile. To the customers who give him business, they are all gods.
Brian said, “Some time ago, there was a plague in one of the British colonies in Africa.”
"I've heard of it." Yang Wendong replied.
Brian asked curiously, "How did you know?"
"Ms. Elena told me." Yang Wendong replied.
In this era, news from other places is basically difficult to spread to other places, because public information can only be spread through television or newspapers, but there are so many news in the world and each media only reports selectively.
Unless something happening abroad is extremely big, it generally won’t appear in Hong Kong newspapers.
Brian nodded and said, "Well, that's good. I'll be frank. The Hong Kong government now requires the entire city to start a rat eradication operation, and the first ones to be required are our food warehouses.
I also know the warehouse managers around Jordan. They didn’t know how to do it properly, so I told them about your situation.”
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Brian." Yang Wendong said with a smile, feeling very happy.
I am really a lucky man. I chose the career of catching rats, and just in time, the Hong Kong government was planning to exterminate rats. In such a favorable situation, as long as I have some ability, I can really become a successful second brother.
But it is not surprising. Rat infestation is actually very common in this era. Although I don’t remember it very clearly, the neighboring mainland has also started a campaign to eliminate the four pests in recent years, and Europe and the United States have also taken similar actions.
The harm caused by rats is everywhere.
Brian added, “You’re welcome. I’ve said before that if you do well in the next half month, I’ll introduce you to other warehouses.
In the past half month, I have learned that the rat problem in Jordan has been greatly reduced. In addition, the Hong Kong government has a task, so I will introduce it to you."
"This is what I should do." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I also hope to help more people avoid the losses caused by rats."
There is no distinction between high and low careers, as long as you don’t break the law, even if it’s collecting garbage, if you can succeed you are a king.
Choosing to kill rats as my first career is indeed not very noble, but no matter what, it is beneficial to society.
Even if it helps capitalists, the reduction in storage costs in the end may benefit the grassroots people a little bit.
"Well, the most important thing is to avoid the terrible plague, even though the probability of it happening is very low." Brian nodded and said, "If we can really reduce the number of rats in Hong Kong, it would be a great thing, especially if the whole world can do the same."
“This is a bit difficult.” Yang Wendong said with a smile, he couldn’t do it even if it was just Hong Kong.
If it is a small area, he or his team can be responsible, but for a society, it requires the improvement of comprehensive quality and infrastructure.
Decades later, rats made a comeback in Western cities, actually due to these two reasons.
Brian didn't care. He took out a few business cards from his pocket and said, "These are the business cards of several warehouse managers nearby. You can just go find them."
