rebirth good people have good rewards

Chapter 63 Convoy
Shanghai Stock Exchange is less than three hours' drive from Hangzhou. Chen Ming arrived at noon. When he saw Zhang Feng, he was negotiating a contract with the head of a team in the branch office.

Seeing that they were arguing over the terms of the contract, Chen Ming didn't bother him. He sat and listened for a while. The two sides argued mainly about safety issues. Zhang Feng hoped that it would be stated in the contract that all vehicle safety issues were The team is responsible for it and has nothing to do with Lantian Environmental Protection, but the team leader is obviously not stupid, and he refuses to add this.

Chen Ming knew what Zhang Feng meant. Trucks are too prone to accidents, even if they don't go on the highway. It is very beneficial for the company to clarify this point to avoid a large part of the risk.

However, this kind of clause is usually not agreed to by the team. From the perspective of the team, although they should buy enough insurance for the truck, they should also pay attention to the safety of the vehicle, but in case something happens, can someone share or Wrangling is naturally better.

That's why the two sides have been entangled with this one for a long time.

However, this is actually a reasonable requirement. Legally speaking, the team has the obligation to ensure the safety of the vehicles during transportation. This has nothing to do with the employer, so of course this was added in the end. After all, Lantian does a lot of environmental protection. What's more, Zhang Feng was very persistent.

Finally finished negotiating the contract, Zhang Feng walked up to Chen Ming with a smile on his face, and asked, "Boss, why are you free to come over to inspect the work?"

"Of course I came here to see if you were lazy!" Chen Ming joked, "How is everything going well?"

"It's going well, but these teams are too cunning. This contract has been negotiated for more than a week, and today it is almost the same. If there are no problems, it should be signed tomorrow."

Zhang Feng took out an iron box from the cabinet, opened it carefully, and poured a handful of tea leaves into the teapot, "Boss, it's rare for you to come here once, this is a good tea from my collection, it's so precious, I'll give you a taste! "

"Really? Then I have to try it!" Chen Ming laughed. He knew that one of the biggest characteristics of Zhang Feng was that he was stingy and even stingy. Don't spend flowers, but save as much as you can.

However, his frugality is not the same as Gao Xue's. Gao Xue is pragmatic, and he only wants to look superficial.

For example, office furniture. Gaoxue bought it in Shanghai, all of them are second-hand, but the quality is very good. It looks like a good thing. Zhang Feng bought it in Hangzhou. It looks brand new, but the quality is average. The price is very cheap, to put it bluntly, it is just a look.

Chen Ming never expresses any opinions on these matters. He is not Kong Ming, he has no ability to do everything himself, let alone have that idea. Anyway, both of them are saving money for the company, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

The two had a brief chat and talked about the situation in Province Z. Then Chen Ming asked, "I see that you pay special attention to vehicle safety. Why, are truck accidents very frequent now?"

"It's more than frequent, Boss. You can find out after searching the Internet. In order to make more money, large trucks are often overloaded. They can't stop the car while running on the road. It is very easy to have accidents. And it is different from small cars. When a big truck has an accident, it will be serious. It’s a big deal, if I don’t write it clearly in the contract, it will be troublesome in case of disputes in the future, although we don’t have to worry about anything legally, we have to guard against public opinion factors.”

Chen Ming nodded. Zhang Feng was very considerate. As he said, even if this clause was not intentionally included in the contract, if anything happened to the truck, the team should be responsible for it. It's not a big problem, it's okay to file a lawsuit, the big deal is to lose some money, but once it is related to this kind of negative news, it will have a very bad impact on the company's reputation.

The problem of overloading is really hard to prevent. Teams and individual drivers don’t care about taking risks in order to make more money. Even if Zhang Feng specifically stated this in the contract, there is no way to prevent it. After all, they are not just for your family.

"Have you ever calculated how many cars will be needed in the entire Z province if the company buys its own cars?" Chen Ming asked.

Zhang Feng thought for a while and replied: "There are 11 cities in Province Z. For the time being, our business has just started. There is no way to calculate the specific total amount accurately, but according to the situation I visited during this period, it is estimated that one A city needs to have at least two cars, which is too costly, so it’s better to cooperate with a fleet.”

This is indeed the case. A small city has a population of one million, and a large city has a population of hundreds of millions. The amount of waste generated every day is very huge. Zhang Feng said that only two cars are needed, which is actually less, mainly because most of the domestic waste They were all handled by the municipal environmental protection company, otherwise the rented warehouses would not be enough, and the number of cars would have to be doubled several times!
The matter of buying a car was actually discussed when we decided to expand years ago. A truck costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. After buying it, we have to train and manage the driver. Each car has to be accompanied by a driver just in case, and the labor cost is even higher. big.

Let’s just talk about the driver’s salary. A big truck driver’s monthly salary is five or six thousand. There are [-] to [-] fixed expenses!
Spending money is not the biggest problem. The problem is management. The management of personnel and vehicles is not so easy. People will get sick, have vacations, cars will break down, etc. Once you set up your own fleet, various problems will be solved It will come one after another, neither Gao Xue, Zhang Feng, nor Chen Ming himself has any management experience in this area, and now that the expansion has just started, there are too many things to do, and there is no way to be distracted, so I put the car The matter was shelved.

Chen Ming has a habit of tapping on the table with his right index finger when thinking about a problem. Zhang Feng knows his habit, so he has been patiently waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long time, Chen Ming said: "Let's do this. It's really too complicated to build a team by yourself. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it. Let's see the situation later. If the cooperation with the team goes well, then continue to cooperate. If something goes wrong, or something happens If there is a serious car accident, we will build our own team!"

The matter of the team came to an end, and Chen Ming asked again: "How is the recruitment and training going, is it going well?"

"With the help of old employees from Shanghai Stock Exchange, the newcomers get started quickly, and the company's work is already simple, so it seems that there is no problem at present."

Although Gao Xue was in charge of these management tasks, Zhang Feng also had a general understanding of them.

"I've worked hard on you during this time!" Chen Ming patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder, "I'll give you a week off, take a good rest, and you'll still be busy!"

Zhang Feng's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Does the company want to expand immediately? In that case, I don't have to rest for a day!"

"It's better to rest for a few days, don't exhaust your body." Chen Ming said with a smile: "We really need to continue to expand. With the experience of Province Z, I believe that the efficiency will be higher in the future!"

He paused, and set a goal for Zhang Feng: "I hope to open branches in every province in the country before the end of this year. Are you confident?"
