I am reborn without a pattern

Chapter 374 Peace Banquet

Until the end of March, Zhang Zhiqin did not return to Shacheng. He still stayed in Leizhou City. The main reason was that there was a fleet of ships going through Shacheng. They were all offshore transport ships. The shipowners were mainly from Liangxi, Yuzhou and Chongzhou, with three ships each. one part.

The boss of the boat in Yuzhou was originally a fisherman, and his hometown was not far from Huaguoshan. His son Gu Ding was a comrade of Zhang Zhiqin. When he left the army, he originally planned to work in a reservoir, but it was not implemented. He worked as a few jobs at a nearby vocational college. When Zhang Zhiqin found out about it, he took the ancient ingot to Shacheng.

When Gu Ding first went south, he and I were opposed to it, thinking that after leaving, the original work on the reservoir might really disappear.

It wasn't until Gu Ding brought money back to repair his house during the Chinese New Year that he blocked Lao Gu's mouth.

After that, Gu Ding took charge, and Lao Gu, an old fisherman, began to listen to his son's decisions.

Zhang Haonan spun off the fleet and logistics departments into several companies to run independently. Gu Ding listened to Zhang Haonan and asked Lao Gu to follow suit.

In the past, transportation was done on inland rivers, mainly in the "Jiankang-Liangxi" section. Transportation of battery cars, accessories, poultry eggs, mushrooms, etc. was mostly carried by water. It was mainly not far away, two to three hundred kilometers on weekends. , During holidays, water transportation is much faster than highway transportation.

What's more, the freight is very cheap. Within 800 kilometers, a ton of goods costs only a few yuan, or even more than 20 yuan.

It's just that Zhang Haonan has never experienced long-distance water transportation, so he must try it first when opening a new route.

When running a boat, you must find someone you can trust. Otherwise, if the boss of the boat commits suicide and does something, it will be troublesome.

The ship bosses in the three places all have one thing in common, that is, they all have family members working in related companies under Zhang Haonan's name, or they are directly related to each other.

For example, Liang Xi's boat boss is Xu Zhentao's relative and uncle, and he will soon be in his 60s.

The boss of the ship in Chongzhou is from a farm in Shacheng, but his ancestral home is Chongzhou. His son and daughter both work at "Shacheng Food", the daughter is an accountant, and the son is in sales.

I was about to change my career, but now I have earned a big house in Chongzhou city through the canal route through my son's introduction.

From the bottom of their hearts, the three boat bosses would rather go to the canal or the Yangtze River. After all, it is much safer.

No matter how close the offshore is, it is still the sea. Although it is not that we have never run across it, when we get to Leizhou, it is from the East China Sea to the South China Sea. This distance is a bit long.

But for things like transportation, I'm not afraid of the long journey, but I'm afraid of not having money.

What’s more, the water fare for Roadhog is finally less.

Therefore, for the sake of money, the three ship bosses are willing to run the route first, so that they will be familiar with it once and twice, and then they will not have to run it themselves.

There will be a trip at the end of the month, so Zhang Haonan also set up a special banquet and invited the ship boss and the guys to come to "My House" for a safe banquet.

"My House" is just south of the villa where Zhao Dai lives. The building is ready-made. Zhang Haonan bought a restaurant that was not well managed before and bought the floors directly. The floors above the fifth floor are still being negotiated. There are a lot of owners. , knowing that it was Boss Zhang who wanted to buy it, everyone opened their mouths.

The most conservative person raised the price five times, probably because he looked down on Boss Zhang's strength. Others raised the price ten times, but you raised the price five times. It was clear that he felt that Boss Zhang did not have the strength to pay ten times the price.

Boss Zhang was very angry, so he didn’t buy it.

It took a long time, but it didn't matter, anyway, the signboard for "My House" was ready in two days.

The city construction company had some Nixie tubes left in stock, so Boss Zhang took them and used them as signboards. The effect was quite good. It was colorful at night and had the temperament of a third-rate nightclub.

However, the ship bosses felt that this "My House" was very attractive and looked very powerful.

The decoration has not been touched, but it has been renovated, mainly in festive colors. The crystal chandeliers were dismantled and sold to another hotel. The chandeliers now look like traditional Chinese lanterns.

In fact, there were no big changes in the waiters. The former boss's relatives left with him, and those who stayed didn't know the new lobby manager or chef.

"Old Ding, you said so too. You are a team captain after all. What's the point of helping to make sausages?"

In addition to the ship boss and the crew, there are also the backbone of the logistics company's fleet who are here today. Naturally, Ding Kuishan will also come.

"Aren't I afraid that my skill in making red sausage will become rusty?"

"You can just be a master and give me advice, and you can help me with the work. Isn't this robbing people of their output?"

Zhang Haonan smiled and stretched out his hand. Gu Ding came over with a bag. Zhang Haonan took out a few cigarettes and stuffed them into Ding Kuishan, "Go and share them with the brothers in the team."

"Why."

Ding Kuishan nodded and quickly dispersed the cigarette.

"You don't have to follow me tonight. Go to your dad's place and clear up the cigarettes."

"yes."

After Zhang Haonan's instructions, Gu Ding was also happy. After finding Lao Gu, he sat down with a smile.

The ship bosses tried their best to speak non-standard Mandarin, but in the end they all chose to speak dialects because it was really annoying. Anyway, ship owners are well-informed, and most dialects within a thousand kilometers can still be understood.

Everyone talks about their own thing, and they don’t cross channels.

"boss!"

"boss!"

"Brother Haonan!"

Zhang Haonan entered the lobby, followed by the secretary and bodyguard. The foreman and waiter also met the new boss for the first time. Before, they felt that the people who came to eat today were very arrogant. When Zhang Haonan was wearing sunglasses and two rows of black suits, everyone My back was numb with fear.

What is this?

"You all sit down, eat and drink when you should. Today is a safe feast, and tomorrow you will have a safe and smooth journey."

Zhang Haonan waved again, and a small trolley behind him brought all kinds of sweet water with soy sauce and strong aroma. There were several bottles for each table. If you like soy sauce, go for soy sauce, and if you like strong aroma, go for strong aroma. Anyway, it’s a good idea to run a boat. They all start at half a catty, and one bottle for two people is the minimum.

It’s not that most drinkers are awesome, but that they have to drink to make a living on the water, and then they form dependence and habits.

Even if Zhang Haonan came over to drink some wine, he would still drink it, and it would make no difference to them.

"As long as this transportation route in Leizhou goes smoothly, there will be a few more big deals in the future. By the end of the year, there will be three to five million left, so I will give it out as a red envelope. Everyone, please pay attention to safety when sailing. Safety comes first. One, as long as you live and hang out with me, Zhang Haonan, you will have enough food and clothing, not to mention being rich and powerful."

The secretary next to him filled a glass of "soy-flavored foot washing water" for him. Boss Zhang stood up and raised his glass, "I wish everyone all the best, no illness, no disaster, and good luck."

"thank you boss!"

"thank you boss--"

The voice was so loud that the head waiter was afraid of attracting the police.

Then several police officers arrived.

In addition to the police, there is also Xu Zhentao, the mayor of Daqiao Town.

Xu Zhentao came here in Zhang Zhibing's car, and now the two are considered local partners.

Seeing the policemen sitting down to eat with smiles on their faces, the waiters were dumbfounded and suddenly felt that the "protective umbrella" behind the new boss must be huge.

"Old Xu, sit here."

"You still need to tell me?"

Xu Zhentao sat down, quickly poured wine and had a drink with the old man next to him, "Uncle, please pay attention to safety."

"What's the point? It's not like I don't have any money to make."

After taking a sip of wine, Xu Zhentao's uncle Gu Jinlou was very relaxed. He traveled as far as Fujian and Yue on a boat trip, and also ate hand-made beef balls on the bank of Zhangjiang River.

I made a little money, but not much. It was only after my nephew got up that he made a fortune from Zhang Haonan's transportation orders.

It's almost been more than ten years since one year. Every day, we don't worry about running out of goods, and everything is full.

For example, bran, rice bran, corn, peas, distiller's grains on the Grand Canal... are not transported out or in, and if they are placed there, they will make a steady loss. Once they are circulated, everyone will make a profit, just a little more or a little less.

Even because of the later business volume of "Shacheng Food" and "Daqiao Food", as long as the goods can be distributed by boat, they basically do it by boat. Because of the large volume, large trucks generally need to form a fleet, but it is only a matter of one boat.

So after decades of living on the water, Gu Jinlou hired a waiter for the first time.

It's different now, he has become a clerk, but he is just a clerk with the title of cadre. The reason why Gu Jinlou is willing to work is that the ship is not his own, so he doesn't have to worry about whether he has it or not; secondly, Zhang Haonan will give him a commission, and it is quite substantial. rich.

This caused one of Gu Jinlou's two sons to change his surname to follow him. Neither of the two sons had the surname Gu before, because when they were young, they were the son-in-law of the family, and they were the boss of a boat in Liangxi who was eating from the public family.

Now he hasn't mentioned anything, but his father-in-law, who is still alive, has taken the initiative to mention it.

All this made him very happy. He never expected that he would have a second spring in life and career when he was almost sixty years old.

"It doesn't matter if you have more money or less, good health is the most important thing."

"Speaking of which, as long as you have money, it's better than anything else."

Holding the wine glass and taking a sip, Gu Jinlou's dark skin shone. He didn't agree with his nephew's words. If it really didn't matter, there would be no such change.

When an old friend landed, the first thing he saw was not the wrinkles on Gu Jinlou’s forehead, nor his pitch-black face, but the newly bought watch, mobile phone, thick gold ring, and high-end cashmere sweater. ,leather jacket.

A leather jacket worth three thousand or four thousand is more useful than ten thousand kind words.

Money is such a good thing.

Boss Zhang is really a good person.

Just a little cruel.

Gu Jinlou would lament Zhang Haonan's ruthlessness because there was a guy who carried things and stole oil. When the temperature was three or four degrees Celsius, Zhang Haonan was forced into the cold canal water.

Whoever tries to stop someone, and whoever opens his mouth to help others will also face the same fate.

Boss Zhang is very willing to give money, but as long as he is greedy for a penny, it will not work.

It's his money, and unless he agrees, it can't be touched, not even a cent.

One minute Boss Zhang can make you smile and smoke, and the next minute he turns into a pervert who laughs and presses your head under the water.

But again, Boss Zhang is a good person besides being a bit ruthless.

He really gives money.

"Brother Gu is right, money is the best thing!"

The old man from Gu Ding picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Gu Jinlou, "It's so difficult to have no money. I don't even dare to eat casually."

"Dad, control your drinking."

Seeing his father's mood rising, Gu Ding poured the wine aside and gave him a few words of advice.

"good."

In the past, Lao Gu Gao Luo would glare at his son, but it was different now. He still listened to his son's advice.

But those who run boats still have to drink what they deserve.

After two or three cups, everyone's atmosphere was high, and the brothers in the team were also chatting. Maybe it was because Zhang Haonan was there, or maybe it was because the "foot washing water" and "little sweet water" were too expensive. Seal the cup and eat the food.

After a few hard dishes were served, we chatted while eating, mainly about buying a house, a car, and my wife and children.

Zhang Haonan also chatted with Zhang Zhibing about work matters.

"Uncle, are you used to this? There are so many trivial matters in the police station, it's no better than hanging around in the city bureau first."

"There aren't many bad things happening. We mediate every day. Nowadays, there are so many people building greenhouses, and the number of petty thieves comes every day. Catch and let go, catch and let go, the eagle catches the chicken."

Zhang Zhibing originally had no idea about hanging around in the office, so there was nothing wrong with taking a dead salary.

But as the nephew's business grew larger and larger, the city, wanting to consolidate their relationship, took him out of the cold bench and sent him to work in Daqiao Town.

Wages haven’t increased much, but things have increased hundreds of times…

Simply speechless.

That's all for living with suffering.

He has little interest in "generating income". He mainly relies on "Daqiao Food" to provide some welfare for the comrades in the institute during the holidays.

After all, the foundation of Daqiao Town is too poor. If you really want to mix it up with some oil and water, you won't be able to achieve anything.

You can't rip off "Biaoqiao Food", right?

What happened?

Fortunately, when he took over, all the people in the Daqiao Police Station, except for the aunt who cooked, were replaced by young people. Everyone was very motivated and had no complaints.

In addition, Zhang Haonan donated several cars to the police station. The young police officers did not feel that the countryside was very difficult, and it seemed different from what the seniors described.

It seems that if the seniors don’t work hard, they won’t be able to endure the hardship.

"You should make more progress while you are still young, uncle."

"You think I'm you, I don't have much ability."

After taking a sip of the soup, Zhang Zhibing shook his head. His abilities were limited and he just had to do his job well. If he wanted to come up with something groundbreaking, it would be impossible, but he was not as hardworking as Zhang Zhiwu.

Zhang Zhiwu will soon go to the Municipal Bureau to sit in an office, this year and next year.

He forgets it.

"As long as there is a chance, besides, times are developing and there are opportunities everywhere."

"Um?"

After hearing Zhang Haonan's words, Zhang Zhibing finally got a taste of it, "What do you mean?"

"Qingming Festival is coming soon. On April 1st, come with me to buy some saury."

Zhang Haonan didn't tell Zhang Zhibing at the wine table, but he obviously had something prepared for Zhang Zhibing.

"I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I'll call Uncle Naotake over."

"good."

Now Zhang Zhibing was completely sure that Zhang Haonan had some way to help them make meritorious deeds.

Seeing that Zhang Zhibing understood, Zhang Haonan stopped talking and waved to Gu Ding. Gu Ding immediately stood up, walked to Zhang Haonan and leaned his ear.

"Take your stuff out."

"yes."

Then Gu Ding picked up a box and opened it, which was full of red envelopes.

"A red envelope was given out!"

Gu Ding shouted, and everyone in the audience immediately took out tissues and wiped their mouths. This part was their favorite, and it was much more delicious than delicacies.
