Chapter 556: Big Ambition
Chapter 556: Big Ambition
Tan Xiangdong's battalion commander Zhao Xu arrived.
Not only did he arrive, but Liu Liming, who had worked with Xia Ran before, also arrived.
It was quite a big fuss.
As soon as the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
Liu Liming and Zhao Xu confirmed with Xia Ran again and again whether Xia Ran could afford to support so many people.
I am afraid there might be some misunderstanding or misunderstanding.
The current employment situation is so severe.
Since the beginning of the year, Pandora's box seemed to have been opened across the country, and "reducing jobs and increasing efficiency" seemed to have become the mainstream of the times overnight.
It is much harder to find a job nowadays than to find a wife. Once you finally meet a reliable one, you should cherish it.
After these two people confirmed with Xia Ran again and again the welfare benefits for these personnel, they threw praise and words of thanks at Xia Ran without asking for any money.
Xia Ran was a little confused by the attack.
The subsequent procedures were much simpler. Tan Xiangdong, Liu Liming and Zhao Xu signed together and received the money.
They also agreed that if Xia Ran needed people, they would be given priority, and Xia Ran naturally agreed.
After Xia Ran left, Liu Liming hit Tan Xiangdong with a hammer and said, "Among all these people, you are the smartest one. When we left last time, you ran to the side and whispered to Boss Xia. Could it be that you were whispering about this?"
It's not that he didn't hear what everyone said on the way back.
However, he always thought that Tan Xiangdong was looking for a way out for him in advance.
After all, it is obvious what kind of future awaits rural soldiers when they retire.
Who knew that he was actually helping other retired comrades to find a way out? I underestimated this guy.
Even if this kid finds a way out for himself in advance, he can understand it. Everyone has to make a living. It would be really stupid not to make preparations in advance.
Especially for those rural boys who come from small places and have no support from their families, it is unrealistic for them to expect others to do nothing if they don’t do anything themselves.
Who could have imagined this day would come?
Smart man, clever man!
The relationship will become closer as time goes by.
Zhao Xu slapped Tan Xiangdong lightly on the head: "This kid is really smart, and the key is that he is quite thoughtful. He actually kept this matter secret. If it hadn't involved money last time and he reported it, we wouldn't have known about it."
Tan Xiangdong rubbed his forehead awkwardly. "This was the first time I introduced someone there. I wasn't sure about anything, so it was hard to say much. But now that something good has happened, I remembered to inform you."
"Huh, what the hell is a notification? What did you say when you asked for leave? Didn't I suggest that you bring me along so we can sit down and talk? What happened? What did you say at the time? Have you forgotten?"
He got angry when he talked about Captain Zhao. This guy had actually treated him like a thief and was on guard against him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
"Captain, don't worry about these details. Look, if something good really happened, I would have called you right away, right?"
"Humph, you know who you are, kid. If there wasn't 20,000 yuan in cash, would you remember to call me? Are you kidding me? Do you think I believe you?"
Tan Xiangdong knew he was in the wrong, so he could only use his trump card: "Captain, just tell me whether you want this recommendation or not. If you don't want it, I'll ask someone else."
Zhao Xu snorted heavily, "You...you...you...you Tan Xiangdong, I will remember you."
"No, Captain. Look how good I am. I remember you for everything good that happens to me. You can't just remember my bad side."
"Let's see how you perform," Zhao Xu snorted twice, then decided to stop and go along with the flow.
How could he not know what was going on in this kid's mind? He was so perfunctory to him before because he was afraid that Boss Xia could not afford to support so many people and would make things difficult for him.
However, he could understand this concern. The reason why he waited so long to intervene in this matter was because of this.
Who knows what the other party's character and financial resources are like? Who knows whether these young men can adapt to the jobs they offer?
Liu Liming suddenly interrupted and asked Tan Xiangdong: "You guys didn't just talk about employment at the beginning, right?"
Tan Xiangdong was silent for two seconds and said, "You guessed right. She also said something. She wanted to buy a retired military card from our military region, but unfortunately she couldn't get one at all."
Zhao Xu continued: "What does she want the military card for? Does she have so much money on her?"
"She wanted to form a transport team, made up of veterans, to transport goods across the country.
As for the money, she said she would find a way."
Tan Xiangdong told the story without reservation.
What if these two people can help with this matter? Let's give it a try.
Anyway, there is nothing to hide from others. When he asked about this matter before, he did not hide it from others, and many people around him knew about it.
Liu Liming actually took this to heart and muttered, "He's quite ambitious."
Xia Ran left a good impression on him. He was a person who dared to think and act, and who cared about his country and the world.
Even if the other party is pretending, at least he hasn't been exposed so far.
Zhao Xu also started to think about it.
Boss Xia is looking good at the moment, so he needs to be maintained.
----
As for Xia Ran, she made several phone calls to her hometown and made all the arrangements for sending the trucks of goods back to her hometown through telephone communication.
Four carloads of corn and rice arrived.
The reason why rice was temporarily added later was simply because there was still some empty space after the corn was loaded. Based on the principle of not wasting any space, some rice was temporarily added.
Xia Ran paid the remaining freight and extra labor fees for the trucks.
However, he was rejected by Shi Guangming's two brothers-in-law, Mu Junjun and Mu Bingbing.
Brother Mu Junjun boldly asked: "Boss, can I get some goods from you to sell?
We don’t sell in this city. I bring them back to my hometown to sell. My hometown is far from yours, so it won’t affect our sales.”
Xia Ran thought about it and decided, "Okay, that's what she wanted. But do you have the money?"
Mu Junjun: “Yes, but not much. Can I sell some cheap toys and school supplies, as well as needles and thread?
We won’t consider the expensive ones because we don’t have the money. I’ve seen that your goods are of very good quality. They are not available in my hometown, so they will definitely sell well.”
Mu Bingbing added: "We also want hair ornaments, elastic bands, leggings, white sneakers, and Jiefang shoes."
Xia Ran: "Sure, prepare the money and make a list before coming to pick up the goods.
However, you should accept this hard work fee today, and we should keep things separate and not mix them up."
After two days of going back and forth, he couldn't let others work in vain. This was Xia Ran's bottom line and it couldn't be broken.
