Chapter 390 The first Apple train in the new year (300.01 million)
"It's coming, it's coming, guys, please be careful when unloading the truck later, safety first." Cao Shujie shouted at the Quancheng freight train station.
2,118 tons of apples were packed into 70 containers and transported from Xinjiang Changji to Quancheng Freight Railway Station. The freight alone was 478,450 yuan.
Including other shipping fees, loading and unloading fees, the total is over 600,000 yuan.
Not counting shipping costs, Cao Shujie spent a total of 8,916,780 yuan to purchase this cart of apples.
He didn't have enough cash in hand, so he asked Ma Changrong for a loan of 4 million yuan.
For a high-quality customer like Cao Shujie, Ma Changrong, the credit manager of the Qingshi Town Branch of Yiling Rural Commercial Bank, was eager for him to come over for a loan and approved the money in just three days.
After all, Cao Shujie owed more than 7 million to the Qingshi Town Branch of Yiling Rural Commercial Bank.
Before repaying the money, he also lived a life of working for the bank.
"Shujie, after this batch of apples is sold out, the next batch will come over. It will be over this year. I will have to come back by then. If you still want to get them, find someone to come over." Cao Zhen said.
"Okay, don't you still have to go to the city to find a restaurant?" Cao Shujie was already very grateful to Cao Zhen for helping him during this time.
From contacting fruit farmers, to helping negotiate prices, to helping contact transportation, finding people to load trucks, etc., Cao Zhen never said a word.
If Cao Shujie turned a blind eye, he would be a cruel person.
He said: "After I'm done with this, I'll turn it around for you."
"I also have to earn some milk powder money, so I won't be polite to you." Cao Zhen said with a smile.
"It should."
Cao Shujie turned to look at him and said, "To be honest, if you hadn't been watching over Changji, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
"After we finish our work, let's have a drink together."
Cao Zhen nodded: "Okay, bring out your good wine when the time comes. We won't go home until we get drunk."
Hearing what he said, Cao Shujie laughed and said, "I'll give you a whole bottle of limited edition. Do you want to drink it?"
Cao Zhen didn't care: "If you can get it, I'll drink it."
Cheng Xiaolin also came over, and this time a total of 70 consignment trucks came.
Even one logistics company was not enough, so Cheng Xiaolin contacted two other logistics companies in Pingyuan County to collect 58 vehicles.
In addition, Nie Bin and Zuo Le also contacted 12 container shipping trucks.
Tang Lixin, the stationmaster at the train station, personally met with Cao Shujie. After both parties signed the contract, they took a photo with a banner in front of the special train's locomotive.
According to Tang Lixin, they used to run special trains, but they were all used to haul media, ore, and steel.
This is the first time a special train has been opened specifically for Apple.
"Dad, there are so many, I can't even see the end." Mengmeng looked into the distance and couldn't see the end at a glance.
When Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he felt a little proud: "Mengmeng, daddy is great, right?"
"Dad is so awesome!" Mengmeng nodded heavily, not doubting it at all.
Not only did Mengmeng come over today, but his parents also came over. The old couple also wanted to see what more than 2,000 tons of apples was like.
"Lao Cao, look at your son, and then look at you." Wang Yuelan saw that the apples on the entire train belonged to her son, and the pride in her heart could not be expressed in words.
Cao Jianguo was said to be a little depressed by his wife.
It is said that a few years ago, the old couple also relied on planting orchards, saving money bit by bit, to support their son and daughter in college, and to pay the down payment for their son to buy a house in the capital. However, compared with his son's current achievements, all this is really nothing.
Meet the great witch.
Even Cao Jianguo didn't understand how his son could become so powerful in just two years.
The night before yesterday, they heard their son say that more than 2,000 tons of apples would be shipped from Xinjiang Changji on New Year's Day. Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan wanted to follow them and have a look.
In the words of my son, these more than 2,000 tons of apples were loaded into 70 containers, divided into three teams, and loaded non-stop. It took more than two days to load, plus the consignment to the train station for loading, which was very time-consuming.
It takes a lot of time to get in.
In addition to this batch of apples, Cao Shujie went to Changji some time ago and purchased more than 2,000 tons of apples at a price 2 cents higher than this batch of apples.
In a week, the batch of apples will be loaded onto the truck and shipped here.
Zuo Le and Nie Bin saw these 70 containers lined up in a long steel queue several hundred meters long on the train. Even the two of them, who are professional fruit flippers, didn't know how to describe this scene.
own mood.
There are no words to describe their views on Cao Shujie.
This fruit grower is more professional than those who specialize in fruit dumplings.
Isn't this just typical amateur talent overpowering professional talent?
When they go to collect fruits, they basically pull them one cart at a time.
But Cao Shujie pulled an entire train full of apples, which is probably unique in the fruit industry.
The reporters and self-media people nearby also got the news from nowhere and were taking pictures.
When pressing the shutter, there is an endless "click" sound.
I believe there will be relevant news out by night.
The unloading was still going on, and all 70 containers were loaded onto the consignment truck. It was no small job. Cao Shujie and his wife followed the station manager Tang Lixin to the office of the freight train station, and a staff member poured tea for them.
Cao Shujie waved his hand and said to Tang Lixin: "Webmaster Tang, there is no need to be so polite."
"Boss Cao, it's just for a cup of tea. Sit down quickly." Tang Lixin motioned for them to sit down.
The more he looked at Cao Shujie, the more he admired him.
He is already 43 years old, but looking horizontally and vertically, Cao Shujie cannot be over 30 years old.
That such a young person has such great abilities was beyond Tang Lixin's imagination.
He has been working in this position for more than 20 years and has met many people, but there are not many people like Cao Shujie who have accomplished such a big career at his age.
"Stationmaster Tang, I will inevitably trouble you in the future." Cao Shujie said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shujie asked casually: "Stationmaster Tang, how many people are there here?"
Tang Lixin didn't think much about it. He said: "We have a total of 37 permanent staff here."
Cao Shujie knew what was going on, and after muttering to his wife for a while, Cheng Xiaolin went out.
Cao Shujie and Tang Lixin were left in the office continuing to chat.
About 20 minutes later, Cheng Xiaolin came in again, walked up to her husband Cao Shujie, and whispered a few words to him.
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie turned to look at Stationmaster Tang Lixin and said: "Stationmaster Tang, today is New Year's Day, which is supposed to be the day for everyone to go home and reunite with their families, but for my sake, I bother you all to continue working here.
I felt very sorry and had nothing to give, so I left 37 baskets of apples for our station. Stationmaster Tang will help share them with everyone. Do you think where to put them?"
"Mr. Cao, what are you doing? We can't have it!" When Tang Lixin heard that Cao Shujie wanted to leave him 37 baskets of apples, he hurriedly stood up and refused.
But Cao Shujie came over, pressed his arm, held his hand, and said sincerely: "Stationmaster Tang, I'm a fruit seller. I don't mean anything else. I just want to express my gratitude to our station staff."
"I will have a lot of fruit to transport in the future, and there are many places where I need your help. These apples are not valuable, and I hope Stationmaster Tang won't dislike them."
"Oh, oh, this is our job and what we should do." Tang Lixin said.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I know, but work is work. Stationmaster Tang, you have also helped me a lot."
"Mr. Cao, just this once, we can't do this again." Tang Lixin looked at Cao Shujie with a serious expression on his face.
"Okay!" Cao Shujie smiled and nodded: "Stationmaster Tang, let's go, let's see where to put the apples."
Several people came out of the small office. When Tang Lixin saw 37 baskets of apples, he was a little confused.
He thought that a basket weighed 10 kilograms, but looking at the frame in front of him, it only cost 20 kilograms. No matter how cheap this basket was, it still cost a hundred dollars, right?
"Mr. Cao, this is too much." Tang Lixin said again.
But Cao Shujie said: "To me, this thing is worthless."
After talking about this, Tang Lixin found someone to pull the apples aside first. He then went out with a handheld microphone and walked around, shouting for everyone to hurry up and work.
He also talked about Cao Shujie giving everyone apples, and the staff who were working were obviously more efficient.
Cheng Xiaolin did not refute her husband's actions. This is how society is. No matter what time of the day, it is all about human relations.
What's more, they transport fruits by railway, and they will inevitably have to deal with these people in the future.
37 baskets of apples, based on the purchase price, are less than 2,000 yuan, and Cao Shujie can still afford them.
When unloading the truck, Zuo Le and Nie Bin pulled their six containers away.
Before everyone left, they transferred another 1.44 million yuan to Cao Shujie, which added up to almost 3 million yuan.
The cost of this round of investment has been recovered by almost one-third, but the apples distributed are not even one-fifth.
Cao Shujie also said to his wife: "I regret it now, and I shouldn't have asked Lao Ma for a loan."
"Shujie, don't act like a good boy even if you get an advantage." Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to see her husband like this.
I only made a few dollars, but I didn't know where to go from east to west.
Maybe the apples sent by Cao Shujie played a big role. The front stacker used to lift containers at the railway station feels faster. It used to take 1 hour to lift 12 containers, but this time it only took 70 containers.
Less than 4 hours.
It is evident how much the efficiency has been improved.
Excluding the 12 containers allocated to Zuo Le and Nie Bin, the remaining 58 were shipped back to Qingshi Town. This batch of apples will be reclassified in Qingshi Town and then sent to all parts of the country by express.
This time, the three express delivery companies of Qingshi Town, YTO, SF Express, and Postal Express, worked together to alleviate the pressure on delivery.
tired!
This is the common thought of all the 53 people in the warehouse of Cao Shujie's factory and the staff of the three express delivery companies, YTO, SF Express, and Postal Service. Even though they are very tired and physically exhausted, they are still very satisfied in their hearts.
Everyone knows that if this work is completed before the Spring Festival this year, everyone will have a good New Year.
I will try my best to update 10,000 today.
High blood pressure, high blood sugar (fasting 12o(╥﹏╥)o)
I don’t know if it’s because of these two, but I’ve had a headache all day, and it got better in the evening. I’ll try to write more.
