Chapter 29 Business Expansion

For Yang Wendong, this business venture can be said to be a turning point in his life, and it is no exaggeration.

If you lose and your business is taken away by others, no matter whether they can do it well or not, you will have to find another way to start your own business all over again.

If you win, your career will continue and you can get more funds. As long as you make a little more money, you can take other paths later.

However, for Wang Zhixian and the people behind him, this incident may be equivalent to taking a ride while driving in the future.

But for people who don't have a car and can only walk, it can save a lot of time on the road.

……

The next day, Yang Wendong rushed to Tsim Sha Tsui again. Wang Zhixian needed to take Yang Wendong to various warehouses to familiarize himself with the environment and get to know the people inside.

"Take us to Linde warehouse." Wang Zhixian waved his hand, and a two-person rickshaw came over.

Wang Zhixian said to Yang Wendong, "The place is a bit far, and we have to travel a lot. Let's take a rickshaw. I'll treat you."

"Okay." Yang Wendong naturally agreed.

Taxis already existed in Hong Kong during this era, but their number was relatively small, and they almost exclusively operated within Hong Kong Island, and only the rich or the noble could ride them.

Including some areas of Hong Kong Island, every place is like a movie in the Republic of China, and many rickshaws are the means of transportation for the middle class.

Yang Wendong had seen quite a few of them before, but he didn't have the money to take one.

The two soon arrived at the Linde warehouse. Wang Zhixian said to the driver, "I have to go to many places today. You don't have to leave. Wait for me here. How much does it cost to cover your expenses for a day?"

"Five dollars." The driver thought for a moment and said.

"Okay." Wang Zhixian nodded, then gave two dollars and promised to pay him later.

Yang Wendong was a little surprised. 5 yuan a day was a high income. However, this kind of rickshaw, like the taxis of later generations, had a license. It was estimated that more than half of the money had to be paid...

Afterwards, the two entered the Linde warehouse, and one of them took Wang and Yang for a walk to familiarize them with the terrain and some basic rules.

Half an hour later, the two came out and took a rickshaw to the next warehouse.

On the road:

Wang Zhixian asked: "Mr. Yang, is everything ok?"

"No problem." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Based on my experience, I probably know the situation of the rats in Linde's warehouse."

With the practice in the past two months, combined with the knowledge he learned from the Internet, he has become experienced in both theory and practice.

Rats' movements are regular. They choose the location of their holes, their travel routes, and by asking around, Yang Wendong can find out which area of ​​the warehouse's goods are bitten the most. Yang Wendong can then make some judgments.

Wang Zhixian said with a smile: "It's amazing. When my boss took over this business, I was completely confused. I only knew to put out more mouse traps or use drugs.

But the effect was poor, and there was food in many warehouses, and no medicine was allowed. In the end, we had to send a lot of people to find rat holes and boil water. It was somewhat effective, but it soon stopped working. " "In fact, your speed is faster. Using people to find rats is the best way." Yang Wendong nodded and said:
"But the problem is that the cost is too high. It requires a lot of people and a long time to keep killing rats. From an economic cost perspective, it is not cost-effective.

Especially now that it is spring, the temperature is rising, and there is no shortage of food in the warehouse, the rats are breeding very fast, and some are even communicating with each other through underground pipes. Humans can't hold out for long."

Yang Wendong also knew that in previous years when there were many rats in warehouses, a large number of people would be organized inside many warehouses to catch and kill rats.

There are results, as long as you are willing to work hard, but once you relax, it will be useless. And how many people are willing to go through so much trouble to catch mice? Even many people have mice at home but are too lazy to catch them.

Wang Zhixian nodded and said, "Yes, it's just such a small matter, but there is so much knowledge involved."

"It is very difficult to hunt and kill any living creature." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Everyone hates mosquitoes and flies, but it is impossible to kill them all. The best you can do is use mosquito nets to isolate them.

The same goes for mice. If you don't use building materials that mice cannot dig up when building your house, and if there is some food inside, it will attract them sooner or later.

……

It took two days for Wang Zhixian to take Yang Wendong to visit a total of 2 warehouses, seven of which were warehouses that Yang Wendong had worked with before.

In other words, if he had not learned about this matter in advance, he would have been stunned by the sudden blow, and it was estimated that the last few warehouses might not be able to be saved.

On the third day, Wang Zhixian and Yang Wendong got together again and haggled for a long time before finally agreeing on a price: 26 yuan a week for 700 warehouses.

Wang Zhixian only needs to pay the money, and Yang Wendong will be responsible for everything else. However, if you need any help, you can ask for it. Wang Zhixian can also help with simple things. If it requires some resource costs, that can be calculated as money.

That afternoon, Yang Wendong immediately gathered a few people around him and informed them of the matter.

"26 new warehouses?" Lin Haoyu couldn't believe his ears. He was not very clear about what Yang Wendong had been doing recently, and he didn't know that they almost had to go back to sell mousetraps again.

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "Not 26, to be exact, 19. Seven of them have worked with us before. This means that we will be responsible for the task of exterminating rats in 7 warehouses next."

"I have a question." Zhao Liming raised his hand and asked like a primary school kid in later generations: "Seven of them are duplicates, which means their prices are comparable to our previous prices, right? Why would these warehouses agree to change to higher prices?"

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "I don't know why either. It may be because they have strong connections, or it may be that everyone knows but doesn't say anything. So, we should not mention this matter about these warehouses in the future.

We should ignore it, it has nothing to do with us. Even if we know about it, it won’t do any good, but may even cause harm.”

Su Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because the amount is too low. This amount of money is a drop in the bucket for a warehouse."

"Good, Yiyi, you can use idioms now." Yang Wendong smiled. During this period of time, he spent a lot of time teaching several people to read and recognize numbers.

Especially Su Yiyi, Yang Wendong taught her mathematics, and occasionally taught her some idioms related to numbers and proportions.

Su Yiyi smiled and said, "Brother Dong taught me well."

"Okay, let's get back to business." Yang Wendong paused and said, "Now our business has suddenly expanded nearly three times, so there are several problems that need to be solved."
