Chapter 30: Vision of the Future
Chapter 30: Vision of the Future (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Yang Wendong went on to say: "The first problem is manpower. We only have eight people now. I estimate that we need about 8-15 people."
Zhao Liming said: "Brother Dong, people are not a problem. Your name is well-known in the dormitory now. Many people have asked me if you need more people. As long as we go back and tell them, there will be no shortage of people."
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Well, OK, I'll leave this to you. Just recruit people from the dormitory and don't look for people from outside."
Although he felt that those with connections might not look down upon the "rat catching" business, the recent tension in the Commonwealth region was only caused by the South African plague.
But for many things, you can't make decisions based on "feelings". In many cases, you don't need to consider whether the other party is willing to do it, but whether the other party has the ability to do it. As long as they have the ability, you should avoid it.
At least we know the people who choose the dormitory well. Although these people may be bribed in the future, that is also an uncontrollable situation. We can only try to screen them in advance.
Zhao Liming nodded, agreed, and said, "Okay, no problem."
Yang Wendong added: “The second thing is that there are now 31 warehouses. With more warehouses, the distances between them are also farther, and we can’t run to all of them.
Therefore, we need to divide into groups from now on, and each group will be responsible for several warehouses, just like we were in groups of four before."
Zhao Liming said: "Brother Dong, this is not a problem, but we are not sure that we can kill rats as efficiently as you do, right?"
Yang Wendong replied: “That’s okay, I have already agreed with Wang Zhixian that we will not take over the other 19 warehouses at once, but 5 a day, divided into 4 days.
I will take you inside for a tour. First, you will be familiar with the environment. Second, we will start to set up more traps and kill some rats in succession. Then the rest of the work will be much easier."
As long as the speed at which we kill rats exceeds the speed at which they reproduce, the number of rats will inevitably decrease, unless the rat holes are connected to the sewers, which will make it difficult to deal with.
"That's good. Otherwise, we are all novices in the early stage and we are too busy to handle it." Lin Haoyu, who doesn't like to talk much, nodded and said, "Brother Dong is still thoughtful."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: “Of course I have to consider everything. It will be hard for everyone during this period, especially in the early stage. With more warehouses, we need to travel more on the road.
Yiyi, let's go buy some wear-resistant shoes later. We also need to buy some mousetrap tubes, mousetrap cages, buckets and other mouse-catching tools. We'll go together later."
Although they haven't registered a company yet, they are now actually already operating in a similar model to a company. If they were not short of funds and could not afford to rent a house, they would have set up a company.
"Okay." Su Yiyi nodded and said.
Yang Wendong added: "Haoyu, you are responsible for teaching the people below some basic mouse catching techniques."
"Is it no longer a secret?" Lin Haoyu asked.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "Appropriate confidentiality is still necessary. You don't need to tell them everything you know, you just need to tell them what to do.
However, if they are smart and willing to study and ask questions on their own, you can teach them according to the situation.
Now we have some connections, contracts have been signed, and orders are stable in the short term, unlike before. The most important thing now is to get things done.”
Lin Haoyu nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Dong, I understand. We are all from the same dormitory, so we shouldn't do anything too outrageous."
"It's hard to say, but it doesn't matter anymore." Yang Wendong smiled and shook his head, and said, "It will definitely be very hard later, but as long as we can get through it, we can leave the dormitory." "Really?" The eyes of the three were immediately filled with surprise.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "We can't buy a house, but we should be able to rent one, even if it's just a worse one near the dormitory. That's good enough. We can live in a brick house."
It has been almost three months since he came to Hong Kong, and as a time traveler, he still lives in a wooden dormitory.
It leaks when it rains and leaks when it is windy. It is inconvenient to take a shower and go to the toilet. Mosquitoes have come out again recently. He is suffering so much.
"Brother Dong, I will do my best." Lin Haoyu, who was not good at speaking, almost shook with joy.
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Well, let's work hard together. I also dream of leaving the dormitory."
"Okay." Everyone answered in unison, expressing their longing for a better life in the future.
In his previous life, Yang Wendong also worked his way up from the bottom.
When he was in college, he worked in a store. After graduation, he worked in sales. Later, he started his own e-commerce business, moving towards success step by step. Although his final results did not go down in history, it was still pretty good.
These experiences were of great help to him when he started his business in Hong Kong in the 50s.
The team consisted of four people, each of whom was responsible for his own task. Three days later, Zhao Liming brought 10 teenagers from the dormitory, Yang Wendong brought the necessary supplies, and Lin Haoyu explained the most basic knowledge to the newcomers.
Time quickly came to the end of March. In a few days, the contract signed between Yang Wendong and Wang Zhixian would come into effect. From this day on, Yang Wendong needed to fulfill the contract and go to the relevant warehouses to check for rat infestation.
Fortunately, Wang Zhixian seemed easy to talk to, and Yang Wendong had previous experience, so he gave a deposit for half a week first, and then settled the bill once a week, which could also ease Yang Wendong's financial pressure.
April 20st soon came. Yang Wendong and his less than younger brothers were divided into three teams, responsible for warehouses in three areas respectively, so as to minimize the meaningless commuting time on the road.
"Open this cabinet, there must be a rat hole at the back." Yang Wendong said to his men.
Several 15-year-old boys followed the instructions and found a hole behind the cabinet. They said, "Brother Dong is really amazing."
"Well, not every rat hole can be found. Now that you have found one, go and see if there is any boiling water here and then pour it in." Yang Wendong said again.
"Okay." Several guys immediately dispersed.
"You're so motivated." Yang Wendong looked at the people around him. They were all very active in their work. In fact, they all wanted to use their connections to live a better life.
Because before that, I had only taken them to the warehouse to eat the normal meals that Hong Kong workers eat, and I almost burst into tears.
"I am now considered a capitalist." Yang Wendong suddenly thought.
PS: These few days may be a bit dull, and it will take some time to transition. We will enter a new plot tomorrow.
In addition, tomorrow is Tuesday and we will have the recommendations for the next week, so please follow along and read on!
