Chapter 1509 Unspoken Rules of the Fleet Team
Perhaps in the future, Lu Huai would be a talent who could lead a company. It seemed that everyone had good judgment and they all believed that Lu Huai was the right choice.
With Qiao Mei's memories of her other life, she knew very well how promising the future prospects of the logistics industry were. If she wanted to expand her business, she definitely needed to set up a logistics company. However, she did not have any experience in this area and was a novice who knew nothing.
Lu Huai was a responsible man and knew everything related to cars. Moreover, he was also a member of the Xia family. It was like the heavens had sent a candidate for general manager to Qiao Mei!
If one wanted to achieve something, one had to do it at the right time, in the right place and with the right people. The timing and the place were already right! All that was missing was the right person! Qiao Mei wanted Lu Huai to become the general manager of her logistics company no matter what she had to offer him.
"There's no hurry to discuss our future collaboration. Let's talk about this current order. I don't know the rules of your industry and I don't know how the fees are calculated. Since you're working with me, I'll tell you what I think. The company will bear the travel and fuel costs. In addition, we'll give each of you 10 dollars for meals for the next three days. When you come back, each of you will get a salary of 200 dollars. What do you think?" Qiao Mei said.
After hearing what Qiao Mei said, some people were happy, but not all.
They each had their own way of doing delivery. Generally speaking, they would hand over the bill to the client for reimbursement after the trip. The staff at the gas stations also knew these unspoken rules. Every time they pumped 50 dollars' worth of petrol, the receipt would show 80 dollars. The drivers would give the gas station staff five dollars as hush money.
These people did not just rely on the payment for the delivery, but also faked expenses claims to reap some benefits. However, Qiao Mei's situation was different this time. Normal clients were not as generous as her, so they all felt that it was still worth it to take on this order.
"200 dollars! That's a lot of money! Don't tell me you want us to transport something illegal…" Old Man Huang said as he looked at Lu Huai fearfully.
"I'm running a proper business so why would I get so many people to transport dangerous goods? Won't that just be asking for trouble? Don't worry, it's just seeds and nothing else. However, if I find out that you're also accepting orders from other people at the same time and intend to tag on other deliveries to make money, I won't stand for it," Qiao Mei said sternly.
There were very few people in this line of work. When they went out for delivery, they would spread the news about their route. If anyone wanted to tag on and send items to relatives and friends, they just needed to pay to get it done. Sending things this way was definitely faster than sending by post!
For Qiao Mei, this delivery was urgent. If it was any other time, she could turn a blind eye to it, but right now, she must focus on the factory's business first.
"That's fine. I'll do it! I'll sign the agreement in a while. Brothers, if you want to join me, then sign the agreement with me. I won't force you. It's fine if you don't want to take the job. It's all up to you," Lu Huai said.
In the end, the 11 people who came all signed the agreement. These people all had big trucks, meaning the seeds would definitely reach the capital successfully.
"Lu Huai, you've really been a great help this time. When you're back, I'll definitely treat you to drinks at my house!" Qiao Mei pulled Lu Huai aside and whispered to him.
"Third Cousin-in-law, this is what I should do. Besides, you give such a high salary and it's so lucrative. I'd be a fool not to do it!" Lu Huai said with a smile.
"Then help me keep an eye out and see which of these people are more honest and reliable. I intend to have a fleet of vehicles in charge of transporting the goods from the factory and I want you to head this department. What do you think?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Third Cousin-in-law… I… I'm just a truck driver. I don't know how to manage people," Lu Huai said fearfully.
He had always been an ordinary person and there was nothing outstanding about him. Every time he took an exam, he would definitely be last on the list. Back then, the Lu family was given a position to work at the auto repair shop and Lu Huai's father had given it to his eldest son. Unexpectedly, the eldest son fell head over heels for a woman after one week and then ran away from home!
The job ended up being given to Lu Huai. Instead of saying that he was ordinary, it would be more accurate to say that he was an extremely lucky person who was able to emerge triumphant from adverse situations every time.
