Chapter 1821: Freight Department Established
Ye Chenghu was extremely greedy. Ever since he knew his dad bought a 'Big Brother' phone, he had been waiting eagerly for his dad to come over and show him.
Ye Yaodong raised his chin at him. "Go ask your mother, it's in her bag."
He turned his head and looked at Lin Xiuqing flatteringly.
Lin Xiuqing touched her bag, took out the 'Big Brother' phone, and showed it to him. "Don't press or play with it randomly, just look at it."
He happily took it, looked at it back and forth, and pulled out the antenna.
Ye Xiaoxi ran to his side and said, "Big Brother, I know how to make a call, I'll teach you how to make one."
"Mom, can I make a call?"
"Who do you want to call?"
"I'll call Brother Ahai!"
"Why did you suddenly think of calling Ahai?"
"Ah, because Brother Ahai has a phone at home, I can't call the factory, right? I called home yesterday, and other people don't have phones at home. Even if they have phones, I'm embarrassed to call without reason."
"Alright, you cousins have a good relationship, then you can make a call, and ask about his recent situation by the way. Don't talk for too long, roaming is very expensive, 1.2 yuan per minute."
"Oh, I know."
The brother and sister happily taught each other how to press.
Lin Xiuqing was worried they would break it, so she watched from the side, only Ye Yaodong was focused on the newspaper.
This was the hottest time of the day, Ye Chenghai wouldn't be sunbathing outside no matter how hard he worked, so when Ye Chenghu called the factory, it was immediately answered by him.
As soon as he heard it was Ye Chenghu, he became happy.
"My good boy, the future college student has time to call me?"
"Don't mention it, for next year's college entrance examination, these two months of tutoring almost killed me, I didn't even catch up with the game console..."
Ye Chenghu was just lacking someone to confide in, so he poured out his bitterness to Ye Chenghai.
Ye Chenghai also happened to be free, didn't go out during lunch break, and just chatted with him.
Lin Xiuqing pricked up her ears to listen from the side, to see if the signal was strong. She was more concerned about the newly bought 'Big Brother' phone than Ye Yaodong, who didn't even lift his head.
Ye Yaodong really didn't care much, as long as he could receive and make calls. If the signal was bad, it didn't matter, he had already bought it.
Anyway, it was estimated that 2G networks would come out in two or three years, and these mobile phones would probably need to be updated.
When Ye Chenghu was talking on the phone, Ye Xiaoxi also interjected a few words from the side, and they were chatting quite happily.
Ye Chengyang had been peeking from the stairs after putting his schoolbag upstairs, but didn't dare to come down, just sat at the stairs watching TV, and now he was listening to them talk on the phone.
He regretted it very much. Why didn't he let Ye Xiaoxi tell Ye Chenghu when they called yesterday? Now he felt very guilty.
Originally, he didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't call his brother, and his brother didn't call him either. But because his hand was faster than his brain yesterday, he felt very guilty now.
Cleverness is mistaken for cleverness.
He was very curious about what Ye Chenghu was talking about on the phone. He just heard it was a call to Brother Ahai. He sat at the stairs, his butt slowly moving down step by step.
After moving down to the first floor, he walked slowly to the sofa, then stood behind the sofa, and lay on the backrest, listening to them talk on the phone.
Ye Chenghu was timing it, afraid that the roaming fee would be too expensive, so he didn't dare to chat for too long. After complaining, he hung up after about 5 minutes.
Being able to personally hold the 'Big Brother' phone and make a call, he was satisfied.
But he didn't want to return it to Lin Xiuqing immediately, and still played with it in his hand.
"Mom, let me play for one more... Ah~ Ye Chengyang, you scared me to death..."
"Slap!" Lin Xiuqing slapped him on the mouth.
"Who taught you to use dirty words?"
Ye Chenghu covered his mouth. "Didn't I get scared, and my mouth was fast?"
"You are not allowed to use dirty words."
He responded and turned his head to target Ye Chengyang. "You still dare to run over, I'll beat you to death, deliberately hiding it from me, only caring about your own carefree life, not caring about my life."
Ye Chengyang shouted that he was wronged. "I'm the same as my sister, how could it be on purpose? My hand was faster than my brain yesterday, it wasn't on purpose to hide it from you."
Saying that, he even used his left hand to slap his right hand.
"Hiding it from you doesn't do me any good. Anyway, whether you know or not, you can't play it. Maybe it's because I subconsciously worried that you would be angry."
"Humph, you ran away the first time, and now you come to explain, it's too late."
"It's too late, it's too late. Anyway, it's not my fault that you can't play. It's not me who made you tutor, it's none of my business."
Ye Chenghu turned to complain. "Mom, look, he's framing you and Dad, saying that I can't play because of Dad, saying that my tutoring is your arrangement, meaning that because of you guys I can't play."
Ye Yaodong shook the newspaper. "He's not wrong."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the two with a headache and snatched the 'Big Brother' phone from his hand.
"What are you arguing about? With such vigorous energy, go mop the floor, tidy up the table and coffee table, and tidy up the kitchen. I've only been away for a week, and I don't know how to tidy up the house, it's so dirty."
"I tidied it..."
"This is called tidying? Throwing away dirty things is called tidying? The table is so dirty and you don't know how to wipe it, and you don't know how to mop the floor."
"I'm a big man, you ask me to do housework..."
"Still a big man, at most a big boy. Can't you do this little thing? Is this called housework? This is called hygiene. Boys who don't pay attention to hygiene won't be liked by girls..."
Ye Chengyang said actively, "Mom, I'll go get the rag, I'll help wipe the table."
Ye Chenghu's eyes chased his active figure, cursing in his heart, but staring at his mother's gaze, he also quickly went to get the mop to mop the floor.
Ye Yaodong nodded contentedly with the newspaper. "You're so big, you should share some for your mother, otherwise if you're too full and have nothing to do, it's easy to quarrel."
"Dad, why don't you help with housework?" Ye Chenghu said.
"Am I too full and quarreling with your mother?"
The smile in Lin Xiuqing's eyes overflowed, and she glanced at him.
Ye Yaodong also raised his eyebrows at her.
The couple looked at each other, Ye Chenghu rolled his eyes, whispering, "Old age, still so ambiguous, really, only knowing how to persecute your son."
Ye Xiaoxi lifted her feet to facilitate her Big Brother mopping the floor under her feet. "Big Brother, here, here, it's so dirty under my feet, there are biscuit crumbs you ate, mop it."
"We are all helping to work, can't you help a little?"
"But I'm not too full and quarreling with you guys."
The couple laughed when they heard it.
Ye Chenghu glared at her and resigned himself to mopping the floor hard.
Ye Yaodong suddenly remembered to ask, "Did you give the teacher the tutoring fee?"
"Yes, before the teacher came to tutor, we discussed it, how many lessons, how much money per lesson, it was given in advance before the class, and it stopped directly after today's class."
"I didn't bring anything this time, next time take some products from the factory and send them to his head teacher, just as a thank you."
"Should I send some to Yangyang and Xiaojiu's teachers too?"
"No need, why send it, don't ruin the atmosphere, it's not a holiday."
"Let's send it. It's Teachers' Day soon after school starts, just treat it as a Teachers' Day gift. Anyway, it's a factory product, just treat it as a specialty. Send one to the eldest son's teacher as a Teachers' Day gift, and send one to the other two children's teachers as well."
"Alright, you handle it."
Small things, he didn't say much, anyway, it was for the children's good.
Lin Xiuqing rested for a while and went to tidy up the kitchen first. She hadn't been home for a few days, and the kitchen was made a mess by Ye Chenghu.
Ye Yaodong read the newspaper for a while and went directly upstairs to take a bath and take a nap.
When the sun slanted west, seeing it wasn't as hot as noon, the family of five went out to stroll, buying school supplies for the three children.
When Ye Chenghu was shopping in the mall, he saw the 'Little Overlord' game console they were talking about, and his heart was moved to death. However, no matter what, Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing wouldn't buy it, and in the end, he could only sigh and give up listlessly.
The next day, registration was also Lin Xiuqing driving the Mercedes, and the family of five went to the primary school, junior high school, and high school to register in turn, which also caused a sensation in turn.
The three schools already had their legends, and now it was just letting more students see it and pick up the discussion again.
But this had no effect on their family of five, they did what they should do, but the three children's backs were straighter, and there was pride and arrogance on their faces.
After registration, the couple didn't care about the three, left them at home, and Lin Xiuqing started to act as Ye Yaodong's exclusive driver, driving him around all day, going to the shipyard, the machine factory, the freight station, and even the First Automobile Factory.
Four or five months passed, the freight department's wall had been built, the ground had been leveled with cement, and there was a row of dormitory areas and offices. Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
After running to the automobile factory, they also gave a response, saying they could let them drive away all 10 cars within a week. If they were in a hurry, they could drive away 8 cars now.
Ye Yaodong felt that there was no difference between picking up the car early and picking it up together. Now it happened to be a good time to let everyone get busy in these few days and go to print advertising leaflets.
Let them go to distribute leaflets, and then go to every bulletin board, train station, bus station, and utility pole to print and spray the advertising slogans and contact information for him.
The fixed phone had been reserved early a month ago when the dormitory area was being built, and now the phone had already been arranged.
Now everything was really ready, only the east wind was missing.
He had already called Lin Jishang, and now he just needed to go and say hello. Once the car was in hand, they could start working immediately and drive to the pier to load goods.
But now he had to choose a good day for the opening, drive the car back, and set off firecrackers to announce the establishment of the freight department and start business.
Promote it in advance. If there are orders, they can be accepted in advance if the time is suitable. Anyway, the first day of business will definitely be full vehicle dispatch, not afraid of no work.
There was a freight department waiting for him to watch and arrange business, so he didn't rush back to Zhoushan, but stayed for a few more days.
Until the good day for business given by his mother, he arranged for the employees to go to the automobile factory to drive all ten trucks back.
When leaving the factory, all ten trucks were tied with red flowers, all of the same style. When they drove on the street in a line, it caused a sensation, and the eyes of the masses were fixed.
Ten big cars drove in front and behind, looking at them, they were all exactly the same, and they couldn't see the end. Pedestrians automatically stood on both sides to watch, discussing where the cars were from.
Ye Yaodong also made a flashy move, tying two speakers to the front and rear cars, and recorded the audio in advance.
"Dongsheng Freight Department is established today, the price is fair, if you need it, contact phone 021—***, address Pudong New Area***, welcome to visit and inquire...".
Ten new cars tied with big red flowers on the street is the best promotion. He wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, so after picking up the car early in the morning, he drove around the street for a whole day, especially around the pier, train station, and bus station.
Free promotion for himself is more effective than any advertisement.
Undoubtedly, his promotion was successful.
After he finished driving around the street and drove the car to the factory gate to prepare for the ribbon-cutting, the two business clerks responsible for answering the phone ran out excitedly to tell him that in the half day of driving around the street, they had already received more than thirty calls.
Ye Yaodong was extremely happy when he heard it, and gave a thumbs up to his own intelligence.
However, he was suddenly a little worried that the cars wouldn't be enough...
Seeing that he could receive so many calls on the first day, he was worried that 10 cars would definitely be too busy.
After the ribbon-cutting, he looked at the existing orders, used the time reasonably, and now he could still be busy, but after a long time, he definitely wouldn't be able to be busy.
After the cars went out the next day, he ran to the First Automobile Factory again, and with a wealthy and imposing manner, ordered ten more.
Anyway, the cars built now are durable and sturdy, and the price is not expensive. Order another batch directly, and it won't hinder him from growing bigger and stronger.
When the next batch is delivered, he can follow the same pattern and carry out another round of promotion.
Ye Yaodong originally only thought about staying in Shanghai for two or three days, arranging for the children to start school and then returning to Zhoushan. He didn't expect things to come together, and he stayed for more than half a month before he finished all the work and explained it clearly.
Seeing that the freight department could now operate normally, with promoted persons in charge, business clerks answering the phone, and financial staff doing accounts, everyone was performing their duties in an orderly manner, and he felt a little relieved.
During this period, he received many calls from various places. Fortunately, he had a 'Big Brother' phone, and he didn't miss a single call. If there was anything, he guided and solved it on the phone.
Having a mobile phone is indeed much more convenient, it's just that sometimes Lin Xiuqing is busy at work, and he rides a bicycle and holds a 'Big Brother' phone to make a call, which is a bit strange, but he doesn't care.
The night before returning, when the family was eating together, he also greeted several children.
"I'm returning to Zhoushan tomorrow, you guys be good at home, listen to your mother, if there's anything, call me again. In 10 days it will be the National Day holiday, come to Zhoushan to play then, you know?"
"Know, we will definitely go." Ye Chenghu answered first.
Lin Xiuqing said, "Thinking about playing games."
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing and said, "The Canton Fair is probably in the middle of next month, the approval has passed, it's just that the booth number hasn't come down yet."
"That's just after National Day, the children are all in school, and then hand it over to Huimei, we can go to Guangzhou in advance."
"Yes, anyway, it will be according to the regulations of the first half of the year."
Ye Chenghu interjected, "Why isn't it during the National Day, so I can go with you."
"Can't go this year, maybe I can take you next year." Ye Yaodong said.
Ye Chenghu: "Then can I go if I don't get admitted to university?"
Ye Chengyang said, "Then Big Brother can't go if he gets admitted to university? He has to go to university."
Ye Chenghu touched his chin, pretending to be troubled, "It's annoying, then is it better for me to go to university or not."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and didn't care about him, but looked at Lin Xiuqing. "I'm going to the factory early tomorrow morning. The freight department is now operating normally. You can send someone to check it every few days and check the accounts."
"Know."
"I'll go directly to the shipyard tomorrow, and by the way, I'll drive the new boat back together. Dongyu No. 4 can be put into use immediately after returning."
"I'll stew some ginseng for you tonight to make up for it. You haven't rested for the past half month, and you're exhausted from running around. You'll be busy when you return to the factory tomorrow."
Ye Chenghu looked at it with a toothache and said strangely, "Mom, I'm exhausted from studying, I'm tanned, and I've lost weight..."
"How many days have you been studying, honestly eat your meal, everything has you, adults talking, you have to interject, no rules."
Ye Yaodong also glanced at him. "Eating can't block your mouth."
"Can't block it, it can't be blocked at all."
"This month's pocket money is gone."
"Ah..." Ye Chenghu wailed.
Ye Xiaoxi giggled, "Deserved."
"Mom..."
"If you talk too much, don't have your birthday in two days."
Ye Chenghu immediately closed his mouth tightly and didn't dare to say another word. ===== CHAPTER 1822 =====
