Chapter 803
Good things come in hard times
Unexpectedly, after returning, Hu Yang grinned and said that he had taken on a big job, helping the alliance army transport logistics supplies to XY City to participate in the annual expedition.
Although the journey is a bit long, the freight is more than three times the normal price, and the benefits are even better. Not only are they provided with daily food and drink, and ammunition are distributed, but if you don't bring your own guns, you can also borrow standard weapons from the Alliance Army for free.
The most exciting thing is not the freight, nor the free food, drink, ammunition and weapons, but the materials collected along the way. According to the alliance regulations, the transportation company can replace the previous freight company, except for the materials on the special list that need to be sold to the government at a basic price
, the rest belongs to the company and is tax-free!
Although there is an alliance military supply station about 200 kilometers along the way, most of the areas are blank areas that have not been cleared much, and are fatter than the ruins near the capital and Jinmen Port that have been rummaged through countless times.
many.
As a gold digger, Hu Yang knew very well what useful materials could be found in the ruins of the city, and also understood their value. After asking Sun Feihu's opinion, he signed a contract with the military representatives on the spot and agreed to send at least 30 carriages.
.
But hearing the good news sounded like an alarm bell in Hong Tao's ears. He couldn't eat anything for several days and couldn't sleep at night. He couldn't figure out what was wrong. But he suffered from the lack of information in his hands, and his imagination alone was not enough to make a decision.
Make accurate judgments.
So he no longer bothered to hide his identity, and asked Wang Gang to make an appointment with Sun Feihu and Mrs.
Qing, I have basically figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
The so-called expedition is an annual operation to clear out zombie-controlled areas. In recent years, although the Alliance military has become less keen on doing this thankless task, it still sends a regiment or so of troops southward every year to clear out the zombie-controlled areas along the way.
Simply clean up areas controlled by zombies.
On the one hand, it is to open a road to the south, and on the other hand, it is also to train troops. If an army cannot train on the battlefield all day long, no matter how the paper combat effectiveness increases, the actual combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker.
No matter whether Randy is the Minister of Arms or Jiao Qiao is the Minister of Arms, the Alliance Army has never given up on the concept of using combat as a substitute for training, and will use zombies if they can't find a suitable opponent.
This method went quite smoothly in the first few years. At that time, the zombie-controlled area was not far from the alliance-controlled area, and even bordered it. You could just walk around for a day and meet each other, so there was little need for logistical supplies.
But as time goes by, the zombie control area becomes farther and farther away, and the transportation issue has to be put on the agenda. There are thousands of people in a regiment, and the cleanup operation lasts for nearly two months, and the soldiers alone carry the supplies.
Obviously not enough.
Let's dispatch military logistics troops. The cost is a bit high. Alliance soldiers have fixed rations, which will increase during wartime. It is obviously not cost-effective to pay such a high price just to train troops.
So someone came up with a compromise solution, setting up a freight company mainly composed of refugees to take on the logistics support work. In this way, the military only had to pay a small amount of freight and would not have to worry about anything, including casualties.
The refugee coachmen can not only provide logistical supplies, but also carry out extensive searches of many villages, towns, and urban ruins along the way, and bring back all the useful materials they can see.
At that time, the alliance government can adopt official procurement methods to purchase some urgently needed supplies from the homeless truck drivers, and the income obtained can completely offset the freight cost.
If there is a big discovery, such as a certain type of relatively well-preserved food, machinery, electronic product warehouses or even ammunition depots, the alliance government will not only have no expenses, but will actually make a fortune.
The refugee coachmen can have the remaining supplies and sell them on the market, which is also a lot of money. The Alliance army has not yet delayed training and opening up the road south, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.
Originally, this work was mainly undertaken by the freight company, which is the kind of work done by Shouhou Neighbors. Although they are also a company mainly composed of refugees, they are essentially more like the tertiary industry of the alliance government.
As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders. Such a good job must be done by people close to each other. Only when the transportation capacity is insufficient, a group of vehicles from the transportation company will be hired to assist, but the treatment will be the same.
But this year has to be an exception. As the arrival date of the second batch of immigrants from Xinjiang Province approaches, some of the freight company's vehicles have been transferred to transport immigrants near Chang'an, and the remaining vehicles have to cooperate with the railway to go to Xinjiang Province to serve as short-term transit transportation.
Not even a single car of the main force could be freed up.
So this job fell entirely on the transportation company that could only play a supporting role. The military representatives did find Sun Changzhong first. No matter how complicated Zhang Fengwu's case was, the two transportation companies, Changfeng and Zhongyi, were old brands after all.
Shipping capacity and credit are guaranteed.
But Sun Changzhong pulled his hand at the critical moment. The two transportation companies Changfeng and Zhongyi had enough carriages. However, due to the recent impact on the company, the loss of coachmen was serious. The full calculation could only produce 50 carriages, which was 80 short of the minimum required by the military.
There is still a big gap between cars.
As a last resort, the military representative had no choice but to find Sun Feihu, a shareholder of Ping An Transportation Company, through his connections with the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Ministry. As soon as Sun Feihu mentioned the matter, he immediately called Hu Yang over.
Hu Yang and Sun Feihu also have good intentions. If they can take over this big order from the military and do it well, then the military will definitely not only think about Sun Changzhong when they have transportation tasks in the future. As long as they can compete fairly, Ping An Transportation Company
I am confident that it is no worse than the old brand transportation companies and can do better!
Although Ping An Transportation Company has developed rapidly in the past two months, it still cannot compare with Sun Changzhong's transportation company in terms of scale and credit. The main reason is that the time is too short to let more customers know and become familiar with it. This time it is indeed a
good chance.
But Hong Tao really doesn’t think so. No matter what happens to his chicken thief character, the first thing he sees is not the benefits but the risks. Only after determining where the risks come from, how to avoid them, and whether they can be avoided, he will
Calculate how much you can earn.
This time was no exception. When he heard that Hu Yang had signed the contract, he wanted to curse in his heart. This was not an emergency. If he was delayed for a few hours, someone would die. Wouldn't it be better to delay it for one more day and wait until he came back to discuss it before making a decision?
But thinking of Hu Yang's identity and age, Hong Tao swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He was not their father, so he had no right to control them everywhere, let alone scold and teach them casually.
But not scolding does not mean that he has done the right thing. In the next few days, Hong Tao first had a frank chat with Tong Limin, and then he contacted Sun Feihu and Mrs.
Asked about the authenticity of this matter.
Of course, all of this was done behind Hu Yang's back, and it was Wang Gang who came forward. He was still the brainless thug who stood by and only listened, occasionally asking questions, and just looking cool.
The final investigation results proved that the matter was true. The military found Sun Feihu through the logistics department because they could not raise a sufficient number of carriages, and planned to try their luck.
Don't think that you can't go on an expedition if you leave. It's really not possible for the military to allocate transportation capacity from the pastoral area in the north of the city and Jinmen Port. They are just unwilling to go to war and affect the work arrangements of other departments.
But Tong Limin made a calculation, and Hong Tao still dared not let go of his worries. He said that the two companies Changfeng and Zhongyi had more than 100 drivers and nearly a hundred vehicles. Even if all the fleets were joined,
Even if you run away, you can still take over the expedition mission.
Moreover, compared with other freight projects, providing logistical support for military expeditions is more profitable, and it only happens once a year. No matter how much trouble there is, we will not give up easily.
So here comes the question, did Sun Changzhong’s direct team and drivers actually kill the hozens? You don’t need to ask anyone about this question. Hong Tao can give the answer himself, which is far from the answer!
