Chapter 24 Second Business Expansion
Chapter 24 Second Business Expansion
When the business starts to stabilize, you have to find ways to expand. This is Yang Wendong's experience from doing business for more than ten years in his previous life.
The next day, after handing over the business of 6 warehouses to Zhao Liming, Yang Wendong started to head to another nearby warehouse: Willy Warehouse.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by someone. The guard was a middle-aged man about 30 years old. He looked at Yang Wendong and asked, "What do you do?"
Yang Wendong immediately took out two cigarettes and said with a smile, "I'm here to see Director Qin of your warehouse. This is the business card of Director Qian of Henry Warehouse. They have already contacted each other by phone before."
Anyone with enough social experience knows that the more greedy a person is, the greater his value is in many cases, because you know what he wants.
These people just want money, and as long as you give them money, it's easy to deal with them. On the contrary, it's very difficult to ask for a little convenience from those who really care about their company.
Yang Wendong naturally had some connection with Qian Siyan, and Qian Siyan could earn a few hundred yuan a month by relying on him, so naturally he would give him some face. So, he introduced several contacts of other warehouses that he knew.
But it’s not free. After the deal is done, Yang Wendong still has to give Qian Siyan some commission.
The guard took the cigarette and looked at the business card, which was usually not fake, so he said, "Okay, wait a moment."
"Okay, thank you." Yang Wendong said politely.
Then, he waited at the warehouse door. After a while, the guard came back and said, "You have to wait a little longer. Director Qin has been called to a meeting by the foreigners."
"How long does it usually take?" Yang Wendong took out another cigarette and asked with a smile.
The guard took the cigarette and then waved, indicating that Yang Wendong should follow him.
The two came to a wall, and the guard lit a cigarette and asked, "Don't you smoke?"
"I don't smoke. My lungs are not in good condition. I had pneumonia when I was a child," Yang Wendong explained.
He really doesn't smoke. It was like this in his previous life and it is also like this in this life. Even in his previous life, when he smoked for business, he would just put a cigarette in his mouth for a bit of show.
He instinctively doesn't like smoking, but he doesn't object to others smoking as long as it doesn't affect him.
Nowadays, people just find an excuse of pneumonia. In those poor times with bad economy, many people got pneumonia, so it’s not surprising.
"I had a friend who died of pneumonia," the guard said with some regret.
"My condolences." Yang Wendong said.
The guard added, "By the way, it's hard to say when Director Qin's meeting will end. The foreigners' meetings sometimes last half an hour, sometimes three or four hours. But I've already told his subordinates that after the meeting, he will know you're here."
"Okay, thank you." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two of them started chatting casually, and Yang Wendong also learned from the security guard some things he wanted to know, which was the rat infestation problem.
Because the security guards have to work at night, sometimes the leaders also ask the security guards to find ways to catch mice at night.
After waiting for an hour, Yang Wendong met Director Qin.
When he saw Yang Wendong, Director Qin asked curiously, "How old are you?"
"18." Yang Wendong replied.
Director Qin was surprised and said, "You are so young. Old Qian didn't tell me on the phone, but he praised your ability to catch mice."
"I have no choice but to make a living." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I can only rely on this ability to make a living." The saying that children from poor families have to grow up early is nonsense in the era of prosperity because their experience is far less than that of their peers.
But it was true that in the poor times, many children in Hong Kong had to help their parents at the age of six or seven, and had to work independently in their teens.
It was Li Jiacheng who, according to biographical records, began to shoulder the responsibilities of the family when he was fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Well, since Lao Qian is backing it, I can trust it." Director Qin nodded and said, "However, I can trust it, but others can't, so you still need to prove it first."
Yang Wendong said, "No problem. During the one-week trial period, I can guarantee that the number of rats in your warehouse will be significantly reduced."
When he first started the mouse catching business, he was not necessarily confident, but with more than a month of continuous learning and research, he has truly become a half-expert in mouse catching.
By walking around a place and looking at the structure of the houses, you can get a rough idea of where mice like to hide, because although these creatures are cunning, they always follow a pattern.
"Well, OK." Director Qin paused and then said, "As for the mode of cooperation, how do you cooperate with Lao Qian?"
"That's right..." Yang Wendong also told the way of cooperation with Qian Siyan, and then said: "The way of cooperation with Director Qin is the same, how about it?"
"Okay." Director Qin nodded, not saying anything on his own initiative.
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll see the results later."
This guy, like Qian Siyan, is actually a greedy gentleman who will help you if there is any benefit.
……
In the following two days, he visited another five warehouses one after another, all of which were successfully won through Qian Siyan's introduction.
This was also the first time that Yang Wendong liked this group of greedy people so much.
However, this is actually the norm. When his business first expanded, because it was introduced by the foreigner Brian, except for Qian Siyan, the other Chinese in the warehouse did not try to benefit from it.
Now with Qian Siyan's introduction, everything has returned to normal, the norm for doing business in Hong Kong in the 50s.
Maybe in any era, if you want to do business, you have to do it this way, but it was more obscure in some places and some times, but now, it is so direct.
Time soon came to March, and Yang Wendong's rat extermination business had doubled in scale again. There were a total of 3 warehouses in Tsim Sha Tsui that were his clients.
In addition, the locations of these warehouses were also dispersed, and the size of the four-person team expanded to 8 people. The four newly recruited people were all young people in the dormitory, and they also had some relationship with Yang Wendong and others.
After traveling to Hong Kong for more than two months, he has directly created jobs for seven people, and indirectly, one of them even made a mousetrap for him.
As the business increased, Yang Wendong himself began to gradually move away from the front line because he needed to do various coordination.
It's not just the subordinates, it's the same with the warehouses. It's okay, except for one or two, the other warehouses are relatively quick to settle the bills.
It may also be because the money is not much, and the drastic reduction in the number of rats can bring a very strong practical effect to the warehouse.
One day, Yang Wendong came to the Jordan warehouse and met an old acquaintance: Elena.
