Under Yang Xianjin's command, corn acquisition, transportation and sales quickly emerged.
At this time, I couldn't help but admire Yang Xian's coming in.
You should know that the degree of information enclosure in this era is unimaginable. Our military transportation equipment is relatively comprehensive, so we don’t have a deep feeling about this aspect, but it is hard to imagine a peaceful society, such as before, in terms of military families.
There were many months or even years when I couldn't get news about the frontline soldiers, which directly led to the family thinking that their son had died or even rumored that he was shot and other strange things.
If these things are in modern times, it is hard to imagine... In modern times, it is just a matter of calling a cell phone to ask a few questions.
However, in this era when even telephones are only available for high-income families, communication is mainly based on letters.
However, the disadvantages of letters are also very obvious... The army has a low level of education. Some soldiers can neither read nor write. The military family can read and write less. In addition, some uncertain factors, such as letters,
It is common for soldiers and their families to lose contact with each other due to loss, address changes, new address loss, etc.
For example, something like this happened in our synthesis camp: a squad leader from the third platoon introduced a partner when he went home to visit relatives. He felt that they were quite good. After the squad leader returned to the army, he wrote a letter to the woman.
There are frequent contacts. Once when I came back, the girl told him to move a new address in the letter and told him to send it according to the new address next time he sent the letter.
Who knew that things were so coincidental. When the squad leader read the letter, he hid in the station... This is a common thing in the army, because the soldiers in the army often read it out for the soldiers to find it publicly after receiving the letter.
Fun, especially those love letters. These are the ones that soldiers love to read publicly.
This may be the habit we developed when we were hiding and hiding the ears of cats, so some shy warriors would hide their letters and read them in a lieutenant.
I don’t know if the squad leader was so excited to read the contents of the letter or why, after going to the side station, he just carried his pants out and forgot the letter. After waiting for him for more than twenty minutes, he remembered this.
When I came back to find the letter... there was no trace of the letter, and I had already been wiped with the butt by others as waste paper.
If this address is lost, you can't reply. If it is modern, it will not be a big deal. The woman replied to me and asked what happened. She would have a new address! But women in this era want to be very proud of each other. Seeing the man, she will have a new address!
If I didn't send a letter, I thought the other party was dissatisfied with me or had any objections, and I didn't reply in anger. So the originally a great marriage disappeared silently.
When I heard this, I was so angry that I called out the squad leader and scolded him hard: "If the address is gone, I won't go and inquire? If it doesn't work, take a leave and go back to find it. It's rare for us to be a soldier to find it.
My favorite wife, look at how many of our troops are in their thirties and still a single bachelor. Is there anyone who takes it so much that you don’t take it seriously?"
The squad leader replied aggrievedly: "Battery Commander, I am a squad leader. If I take a leave, what should I do if my soldiers are under my command? Am I worried that it will affect the training and mission of the troops?!"
I was speechless after being told by the squad leader. What the squad leader said was the truth. The soldiers of the synthesis camp are all from all over the world. Many people go home for more than half a month. Being a squad leader is indeed not suitable
Do this.
I think it’s helpless to think about it. The hardship of being a soldier is that we have. There are few women we can come into contact with in the army. Finally, we have an opponent and face one or another danger…
On the other hand, this also shows that it is not easy to do things and build connections in this era, such as contacting buyers, contacting sellers, etc. Most of these need to be done by yourself and directly reaching the buyer and the seller's city.
In this era, transportation is not very convenient, so it takes at least ten days or half a month to open a trade channel. It is not uncommon for a few months to be far away.
However, Yang Xianjin had a way to basically contact all this within two days, and even the specific matters had been negotiated almost the same as just signing a contract.
Sometimes I think that even if I use the troops, the armed police and even count the public security bureau, maybe they can't catch up with Yang Xianjin's speed!
When I asked about this, Yang Xianjin replied: "This is the benefit of joining the army. Comrades are everywhere in the world. If you find one, you can leave the matter to them with confidence. They will give me my business.
Do it as your own business. If it is someone else, it will be difficult to do this!"
Hearing this, I suddenly realized that Yang Xianjin was a veteran of the era of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. Of course, he would have his own comrades, and these comrades were with him and had been born and died on the battlefield. With this experience, of course they would be with each other.
Can be trusted.
Trust is a very important factor in whether a connection is useful and reliable.
Of course, because of my reminder that all of Yang Xianjin did was carried out in secret.
First of all, the personnel allocation.
Yang Xianjin handed over the corn trade to Zheng Jiayi. Zheng Jiayi has been following Yang Xianjin for a while. Yang Xianjin believes that he is fully capable of taking on this task, and at the same time, this also gives Zheng Jiayi an opportunity to train.
This distribution process is naturally not about transferring Zheng Chiayi and several employees or doing what they do. This will undoubtedly make Fuxiang Company suspicious and investigate what Zheng Chiayi and others are doing.
By the way, I really feel that the mall is a bit like a battlefield to some extent, such as the information, various disguises, confidentiality, deception, etc., are not much worse than the methods we use to confuse the enemy on the battlefield.
Fortunately, the soldiers were used to all this when they were on the battlefield, so they were still very comfortable to use.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble and to make Fuxiang Company underestimate its enemies, Zheng Chiayi and others were actually laid off.
As for the reasons for layoffs, advanced companies at this time have good excuses: the company's reputation has suffered a severe blow, customer loss, business shrinkage, etc., so they have to lay off employees... If they don't lay off employees, the company will collapse and everyone has no food.
have eaten.
As for where these employees after the layoffs, Zheng Chiayi and others went, Fuxiang Company naturally would not care about it. So Zheng Chiayi and others were successfully arranged to work in the corn trade.
The second is the trade aspect.
There seems to be no problem with trade. Just contact the buyer, seller, and then there are cars or car washes used for transportation, etc.
By the way, these are not difficult for us. Yang Xianjin's connections are supported by the buyer and seller. That is what he has accumulated over ten years of business, and a considerable part of them are Yang Xianjin's comrades.
That is, brothers, so it is very convenient to connect. After a few calls, you can basically know the price of corn across the country. Then you just need to compare the shipping costs and know which province is more cost-effective to purchase goods from.
Not to mention transportation, the railway department has a close relationship with the troops. Many soldiers have joined the Ministry of Railways after demobilization. If you ask casually, you will know what the situation is.
So it’s really hard to move forward if this era doesn’t matter. Some people say that China is a country built on a relationship network. In fact, the relationship network in modern society is still a small matter compared to this era.
Take the "speculative" attacks now as an example. There is a slogan that describes the situation in this era: "One billion people have fallen by nine hundred million, and there are still 100 million people looking for it."
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows how many "debtors" in this era are so large. What do the debtors rely on to get state-owned supplies and then resell them to the market?
It depends on relationships and bribery, which is one of the reasons why the country needs to vigorously crack down on "speculation and counter-attack", because this behavior is undoubtedly a breeding ground for the breeding of the masses, and there is even a situation that is uncontrollable like a wild horse.
Fortunately, Yang Xianjin's network of relationships is quite large, and he is from all walks of life, officials, businessmen, transportation, etc., which also shows that I did not misunderstand the person before.
But even so, we dare not be careless.
The reason is very simple. If Fuxiang Company knows this... no one can imagine what the consequences would be.
As mentioned before, Fuxiang Company may destroy and obstruct, and what is more serious is that Fuxiang Company may also make a move in the corn trade.
Just as Fuxiang Company intervenes in our wholesale business, Fuxiang Company can also become our competitor in the corn trade.
If this is the case, we will be miserable. Although we have the advantages of a relationship network in China, Pan Shunde has the advantages of Hong Kong, so a new price war will be launched in the corn trade... It is not difficult to imagine that if this is the case
If the situation happens, we will fail.
Yang Xianjin and Zheng Chiayi took a lot of effort to address this.
For example, when looking for buyers in Hong Kong, we try every means to avoid all companies related to Pan Shunde, and use new faces.
In terms of corn transportation, it is better to spend more freight than to pass through a certain province. If you really have no choice but to stay in a certain province, you will also send some employees who have never appeared in an advanced company to operate.
All these actions have only one purpose, that is, to prevent Pan Shunde from discovering the corn trade as much as possible, or even if he discovers it, he doesn't know that the corn trade is his enemy's advanced company. (To be continued
