Chapter 305 Do what you are good at
After listening to Cao Shulin's words, Lin Zhenhua did not reply directly, but asked, "Old Cao, what business do you and your sister-in-law plan to do?"

Cao Shulin frowned and said, "This matter is also a trouble. Actually, your sister-in-law and I are not the kind of people who can speak well, so how can we do business. Your sister-in-law's factory is in a downturn and can't pay wages. I bought 200 meters of cotton cloth to cover my wages. Good guy, in order to sell 200 meters of cotton cloth, I put up my old face and went to set up a stall on the road. After this day, I am ashamed."

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's it. When I heard you say that just now, my first thought was that it was unrealistic. Business is all about slickness. I have a few friends who are in business. I have thought about it myself, and I really can't learn from them. Your old Cao is more honest than me, if you do business, you may lose money."

Lin Zhenhua's remarks were obviously something that Cao Shulin had been struggling with for a long time. Hearing Lin Zhenhua say this, Cao Shulin's energy was exhausted. He slumped on the stool and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiao Lin, you are talking too much. That's right. But, these days, what else can I do if I don't do business?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Cao, you are a model worker, you should still do your job."

"I really want to do my job, but someone needs to take it." Cao Shulin said, "Our factory can't afford wages, and there is no work to do. I also looked for other jobs in Qingdao. I even thought of carrying big bags on the pier. But there are enough people on the pier, and the Municipal Labor Bureau has already arranged for 100 laid-off workers to go there. Our factory is not the worst, so the Labor Bureau can’t take care of us. "

Lin Zhenhua was secretly happy, and he said calmly: "Old Cao, if you don't dislike it, our company is short of manpower. Are you interested in joining us? A model worker like you can earn at least 100 yuan a month. There are monthly awards, quarterly awards, and year-end awards during the Chinese New Year, at least 2000 yuan a year."

"So much money?" Cao Shulin's eyes sparkled.

"This is still working in our factory. If you go to our overseas construction site, there is also a subsidy for going abroad, which is 200 yuan a month." Lin Zhenhua continued to throw carrots, luring the laid-off worker in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the light in Cao Shulin's eyes only lasted for a while and then dimmed. He sighed and said, "Oh, why don't we have such a capable person like you here."

"Why...you don't want to go to our place?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.In his imagination, after hearing what he said, Cao Shulin should have bowed to him, and then brought a group of brothers to defect.But hearing what Cao Shulin said now, it seemed that he never thought about accepting this job at all.

Cao Shulin said: "A few years ago, if the conditions were as good as you said, then I would definitely go. But not now. You said that I went to work in your Jiangnan Province. The old and the young at home, why? What to do? My father and mother are also old, and their health is not very good. How can I do without someone who can do my job?"

"This..." Lin Zhenhua was speechless.Cao Shulin should have thought of the situation that Cao Shulin mentioned. Among other things, there are many such employees in the old Hanhua factory. Because of family burdens, they can only stay in Fenghua County and cannot move. Come to Xunyang.In order to take care of these workers, Hanhua Heavy Industries had to keep some business in the old Hanhua factory.

"How about I think of a way for you in Qingdao." Lin Zhenhua said dully.He came to Qingdao this trip specifically with the mentality of taking advantage of the fire, and wanted to take advantage of the downturn of some enterprises to recruit a group of outstanding workers like Cao Shulin to Hanhua Heavy Industry.Now it seems that at least this Cao Shulin cannot be taken away. People are right, there are old people and young people, so they can leave if they want to?

Of course, if it was based on friendship, Lin Zhenhua could also be more generous and recruit Cao Shulin's wife, He Tianxia, ​​along with them, and then let them move there with the elderly and children at home.But this kind of commotion was too loud, and it meant to give Cao Shulin a favor, which was really bad.Instead of this, he might as well give Cao Shulin a sum of money directly.

Since it is impossible to recruit Cao Shulin to work in Xunyang, let's think of other ways for him.Since I have come here, it is good to try my best as a friend.Lin Zhenhua racked his brains to see if he had anything to do with being in Shandong Province or Qingdao City, and to see where he could place Cao Shulin.However, after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of any suitable person. He knew one or two officials, but the relationship was not so close.

"Xiao Lin, you don't have to be too difficult." Cao Shulin said, "I am very grateful that you can come to see me. You are right about doing business. Your sister-in-law and I are not suitable. In fact, from the beginning we I was quite hesitant. Now that you also think that we may not be able to do well, I think it’s better not to think about it, and wait for me to find other ways.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Cao, we often say that we are familiar with others. Generally speaking, if you want to do something, it is best to do something that you are familiar with. It is easy to learn and easy to succeed. I think you Both I and my sister-in-law have no business experience, so the risk of doing business is relatively high. Think again, what are you good at?"

Cao Shulin smiled wryly and said: "What am I good at? I am a porter. I can drive a crane, drive a car, etc. It's no problem. Moving a 200-jin thing is like playing. But, such a skill, What's the use now?"

"Handling..." Lin Zhenhua's mind flashed, and he quickly asked: "Old Cao, let me ask you something. How has Qingdao's urban construction been going in the past few years?"

"City construction?" Cao Shulin was confused by Lin Zhenhua's quick thinking, "What are you asking? You don't want me to go to the construction site to move bricks for others, do you?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "No, no, I just want to ask, are there many new houses built in Qingdao?"

"A lot! Why not a lot." Cao Shulin said, "Units with a little bit of money are building houses. Now there are no commercial houses. Those who got rich first have bought commercial houses. Unit buildings with five or six floors, but Pretty."

"Then those who bought new houses, do they want to move?" Lin Zhenhua asked again.

"Of course I have to move, why don't I buy a house?" Cao Shulin replied inexplicably.

"Who are they looking for to move?"

"Looking for relatives and friends, colleagues. Don't tell me, how many times have I helped people move back home? The office cadres and teachers in the school can’t move things like cabinets. I’ll take a few workers there, and it’s easy, and there will be no bumps. That’s what we do.” Cao Shulin talked about what he was good at Things, can't help but be elated.

Lin Zhenhua laughed: "Old Cao, do you charge money for helping people move?"

Cao Shulin smiled shyly and said, "It's inappropriate to collect money for doing things for friends. However, they definitely can't let us do it for nothing. Usually, they will give us ten or eight yuan, plus a meal or something. At the end, I will give you a few packs of cigarettes."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Cao, have you ever done the calculations? These people don't count favors when they move. They just pay money, treat them to meals, and give them cigarettes. How much will it cost?"

Although Cao Shulin didn't quite understand what Lin Zhenhua meant, but hearing Lin Zhenhua's serious attitude, he also knew that he had something in mind.He counted with his fingers, and said: "The situation of each family is different, let's do a rough calculation, give a hard fee, buy a meal, and generally have to drink some wine, by the way, the wine can't be too much , or the price will drop. There are also cigarettes... If you add it up, it will cost seven or eighty yuan, or it will cost hundreds of yuan. Of course, this is the relocation of those people in the agency. If it is the masters in our own factory When you move, you generally don’t pay for your hard work, that’s just a matter of having a meal.”

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Cao, if I want to move now, I'll give you the job directly, regardless of food or cigarettes, just give you 50 yuan, will you do it?"

"Of course!" Cao Shulin said without hesitation, "Moving, four of us, half a day is enough. In half a day, each person earns more than ten yuan, which is more than going to work. Besides, moving can No matter how tired you are, you just have to be more careful."

"Isn't this the end?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Old Cao, you don't want to do your own business and follow others' business. You call your old brothers together and set up a moving company. If you specialize in helping others move, I don't believe you can't make a fortune."

"Moving company?" Cao Shulin became excited, "Xiao Lin, do you think there is a way for this?"

"What do you guess?" Lin Zhenhua kicked the ball back to Cao Shulin. He was not familiar with the Qingdao market, so he couldn't do such a thing as market evaluation.

Cao Shulin pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He patted his thigh and said, "I think there is a door! As far as I know, there must be a hundred or eighty people who moved this month. I often meet them on the walk. If we charge 50 yuan for one family as you said, we will have 5000 yuan for this month. To help 10 households move, I think our moving class alone is enough, 500 people, each earning 500 yuan Good guy, our factory only pays me [-] yuan a year now."

"This is only now." Lin Zhenhua said, "Let me do the math for you. In the whole of Qingdao, there are more than 10 households. Within 10 years, at least half of them will move to new homes. That's 5000 households a year, and at least 400 households a month." 100 households, not the [-] households you counted. What's more, if you have become famous, any unit that wants to move must be looking for you. How big is this market. "

"That's right, that's right!" Cao Shulin was overjoyed, he stood up, went outside, and began to give orders: "Tianxia, ​​kill one more chicken, steam more steamed buns, we're going to invite a few more people to dinner at noon today. Tiger Son, stop playing, run to find your Uncle Li and Uncle Yang, and ask them to call all the uncles in Dad’s moving class to have lunch, and say that I have something good to discuss with them.”
