The courtyard of Li Yuhang's house was very lively that night. His grandparents, father and mother, as well as his second grandpa and second grandma, their eldest son Li Changxing, and his grandpa and grandma all came here.
After they had had enough wine and food, and after everyone else had left, Li Yuhang discussed with his father about establishing a passenger transport company.
He has already learned from Wang Bixia that his father is not willing to join the supermarket transportation team, but still hopes to be able to deal with his previous job.
Li Yuhang didn't want Li Chengze to drive a bus for long distances. After all, this thing was still dangerous, so he planned to establish a passenger transport company and let Li Chengze develop it on his own.
"Yuhang, you also know that you and I have been driving for so many years. I can't manage such a large company. Just buy me a bus and set up a route for me to run from our town to Yuzhou.
As for the vegetable company, you should hire professionals to manage it, so that the company will develop better. Your grandfather and your mother are not the same as me."
In the past, they could barely cope with growing dozens of acres of greenhouse vegetables, but now it's foreign trade and there's a lot of internal expansion. How can they cope with this little ability?
In order not to delay the development of his son's company, Li Chengze and the others were thinking of quitting the company. He would specialize in driving, and Wang Bixia would work as a conductor. Her parents were now sixty years old, so they could retire in peace.
After hearing Li Chengze's plan, Li Guangyu immediately disagreed. How could he let his parents do such hard work, and the risk factor was quite high.
"Dad, I agree to your withdrawal from the vegetable company. It's no problem to organize the operating routes, and buses are not a problem, but there is one thing. We hire drivers and conductors, and you and Mom can manage it."
"Yuhang, you also know that we run passenger transport. Picking up passengers on the way is a common thing. I don't worry about hiring someone. I'm afraid we will all lose money. I know the details of this very well."
Li Chengze has been running passenger transportation from Guocheng to Yuzhou for so many years. Some of the rules are very clear. Most of the rules are useless. It is good if the company does not lose money. Making money is not easy.
And it was a scheduled bus from Guocheng Station to Yuzhou Station. It would be even worse if he went from Ping'an Town to Yuzhou, because there were not many passengers going to Ping'an Town, and he mainly relied on picking up passengers on the way. If he didn't have his own family, the labor cost would be estimated
Not enough money and fuel costs.
In this era, vehicles are not monitored, and it is normal to pick up and drop off passengers along the way. Supervision in this area is indeed a problem.
Li Yuhang thought for a while and said: "Dad, how about this? We set up a passenger transport company in the district. I will buy four buses for you temporarily. We will mainly run the lines from Guocheng to Yuzhou and Guocheng to Rongcheng.
Tickets are sold at the station, so that’s not a big problem.”
Li Chengze saw that Li Yuhang was determined not to let him continue to drive a bus, so he couldn't continue to be stubborn. After all, he was in this industry, and the market would also know some news. He didn't dare to pat his chest and promise that nothing would happen to him.
.
He just had different opinions on the lines. There are more shuttle buses from Guocheng to Yuzhou and Rongcheng. He does not recommend joining the two fiercely competitive bus lines now.
Nowadays, many people from Guocheng go to Guangdong Province to work, but there are very few bus lines from Guocheng to there. He proposed to open a bus line from Guocheng to Yangcheng, with four cars, three times a week.
Li Yuhang instantly felt a headache. For such a long-distance trip, the price of the car must not be too bad, and he also had to go to Yangcheng, thousands of miles away, to negotiate in person. He could not drive just because he wanted to.
Li Yuhang now has two major companies that he is responsible for, and he has no time to go to Yangcheng to do this. He said: "Dad, you also know that it is not that easy to open a passenger line from Guocheng to Yangcheng.
Otherwise, the company will register first, and the operating routes will be temporarily opened from our city to Yuzhou and Rongcheng. The other routes will be handled by you. The route expansion will be based on the company's profitability. You can also use the company's assets to borrow money.
Purchase new buses to open new routes.”
Seeing that Li Yuhang had said this, Li Chengze did not argue with Li Yuhang. After all, it was his son who provided funds to his son to develop his business, but here it was his son who helped me establish a company and develop his business.
However, Li Chengze will let this company bear Li Yuhang's name. He does not need the company's assets. He just wants a platform that he likes. No matter how big the company develops in the future, it will still be Li Yuhang's assets after all.
When it comes to buying buses, Li Yuhang is not as professional as Li Chengze. Li Chengze has the performance and price of several major domestic passenger buses at his fingertips.
This time, we have no intention of manufacturing the buses in this province. The main reason is that the bus manufacturer that was once glorious in the 1980s has completely declined. In 1992, Xiangjiang Capital invested in the provincial bus manufacturer and withdrew in less than a year. I haven’t seen it in more than a year.
There are signs of the film coming back to life.
Based on comprehensive considerations of practicality and price, Li Yuhang and Li Chengze finally chose the Shangrao SR665h improved bus. This bus was originally designed in 1983. Although it has been improved several times, its appearance is not much different from the original SR665h bus, except for the various aspects of the bus.
Some performance optimizations have been made.
Because it took a long time, it has been tested and affirmed by the market, and the price is relatively suitable. Now one car is less than 300,000, so I chose this model.
This car is countless times cheaper than the recently released Volvo B10m luxury bus, which cost nearly 2 million. Li Yuhang is extremely poor now, and he doesn't have much funds to spend so much money.
It is impossible for passenger transport to recover its capital in one and a half years. If Li Chengze hadn't liked this industry, Li Yuhang would not have invested money in it.
Then came the naming of the company. In this regard, Li Yuhang fully respected Li Chengze's opinion. After all, Li Chengze would be mainly responsible for this company from now on, and Li Yuhang would not interfere under normal circumstances.
But he didn't expect that Li Chengze would name the company directly after the town, and named it Ping An Transportation Company.
Li Yuhang can't help but intervene. After all, there is a financial group named after Ping An. He will probably face trouble in the future.
Li Chengze said: "Yuhang, since it is not good to name Ping An, then just like your company, just name the head office after Jianan, and call it Jianan Transportation Company."
"Okay, I'll go back to the district tomorrow afternoon to register this company and contact you about the bus purchase. You and your mother will handle your family affairs at home, and then go to the district to set up this company."
"Well, you go to bed early, and I'll go and discuss things at home with your mother, and your little sister, so she can make the same arrangements."
After Li Chengze left, Li Yuhang returned to his room. At this time, Li Yuxin was looking at the financial statements of the Vegetable Development Company at his desk.
Seeing Li Yuhang come in, she asked softly: "How is it going? Have you discussed it with dad?"
After Li Yuxin completed their engagement with Li Yuhang, she changed her name to Li Chengze and Wang Bixia and called them completely as their daughter-in-law. In the whole village, although the two had not held a wedding banquet or obtained a marriage certificate, they all
People already regarded the two as husband and wife.
"We have already discussed it. We will register the company tomorrow. Then we will use more than one million to buy four buses. Mom and Dad will be responsible for it. We don't ask them to make money, as long as they are happy."
