Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1017 Ocean Shipping Business
Niu Xiaoqiang was a little surprised that Xu Long could afford such a big boat. He looked at the appearance of the boat and couldn't help asking: "Boss Xu, this boat should be quite expensive, right? What does your family do? Can afford it?"

"My family started as a butcher business, and later bought a minibus for passenger transport after earning money. In the past few years, there were too many car bandits and road tyrants, and the business couldn't continue, so I switched to running a boat. , Part of the money to buy the boat is my own, and the other part is borrowed from relatives and friends, otherwise, I would not be able to afford it on my own."

When Xu Long said this, he seemed hesitant to speak, and Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "If you have anything to say, please speak directly, there is no need to be embarrassed."

Xu Long glanced at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang simply helped him out: "Secretary Niu, in fact, besides selling us the boat, Boss Xu has another idea."

"What do you think?"

"He thinks that our factory is very profitable. If our factory is willing to accept him, he can not sell the ship, but call the ship to our company to help our factory transport the goods. Our factory only needs to pay the freight according to the market price. "

Xu Long's idea is quite good. Of course, it is very good for him personally. At least he can have a stable route and work in the future, and he doesn't have to go outside to ask his grandpa and grandma to find a job.

Niu Xiaoqiang wants to own his own shipping company, which belongs to ocean transportation. He doesn't have so many requirements for inland waterway transportation. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "I can agree to this request, but I also have my own requirements."

Xu Long was overjoyed: "Secretary Niu, please tell me, I will not shirk anything I can do!"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "If you really anchor the ship at our factory, you will have to bear all the repair and maintenance expenses in the future, and you will also pay the salary of the crew. Our factory will only pay the freight, not Other expenses will be covered.”

Xu Long nodded immediately: "Naturally, I completely agree. I wonder if Secretary Niu has any other requirements?"

Niu Xiaoqiang continued: "Besides, if you know other ship owners who are in a similar situation to yours, you can invite them to anchor their ships at our factory, and we will offer them the same conditions as you."

Xu Long said with a smile: "Don't say it, I really know two people who are in a similar situation to mine. I will explain the situation to them after I go back this time. It is estimated that the problem should not be serious."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Then I will trouble Boss Xu. Since I won't buy your boat, I don't need to check the condition of the boat. Lao Wang, come here for a while, I want to tell you something."

Lao Wang nodded and followed Niu Xiaoqiang to the deck at the bow: "Secretary Niu, what do you want?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "I plan to set up a shipping company, which will be responsible for transporting our factory's products for export in the future. If you don't have a seaman's certificate, it's no big problem to transport inland rivers. If it's ocean shipping, then it won't work. I I hope you can take the time to test for a seaman's certificate, and try to find some local people to go with you to do the test, and you will take them to be responsible for the ocean transportation business in the future, are you willing?"

Lao Wang grinned and said, "As long as the leader needs it, of course I will not refuse, but I still have to make it clear in advance what I have to say, so as to avoid unpleasant troubles in the future."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Go ahead."

Lao Wang is a straightforward person, so he didn’t hide it, and said what he meant: “I want to ask about the salary and treatment. The inland river transportation is okay, and you won’t be away from home for too long, but the sea transportation is different. , I may not be able to go home for several months, and the things that need to be paid are much more than inland river transportation. If we still pay us the previous wages, I think it is unfair, and the wages must be raised."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "Salary increase is for sure. I am not the kind of person who wants the horse to run without feeding the horse. As for the increase in salary, I can answer you now. In the future, you seafarers The basic salary will be the same as the domestic market. In addition to the basic salary, you can also get additional bonuses and travel subsidies. Every time you run a ship, each crew member can get a bonus of 500 yuan. The travel subsidy depends on the time of the business trip. To decide, the factory will subsidize each of you with five yuan for every day of business trip, which is 150 yuan a month. In addition, you can also get medical insurance. If you get sick during a business trip, the factory will reimburse all medical expenses. Are you satisfied with such a condition if there is no upper limit?"

Old Wang couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied! I'm very satisfied! The recruitment is all on my shoulders. I will definitely find those who are more reliable, and I will definitely help the factory to do a good job in management. Make any mistakes!"

Niu Xiaoqiang reminded again: "It is best to recruit local people. Outsiders can have them, but they can't exceed 20.00% of the crew, otherwise it will be difficult to manage."

Lao Wang nodded: "I understand that traveling by sea is a very boring thing. No matter how good your temper is, you will inevitably feel depressed and irritable, and it is easy to quarrel. If there are many people from other places, it will be more likely to cause conflicts. It's okay, even if we fight, we will still be good buddies in the future."

When he said this, he showed a confident smile: "In fact, many people in our village have approached me privately, wanting me to take them to transport and earn money. There was no opportunity before, but now I have such a good opportunity. I think it’s safer to use them, since everyone is from the same village, so it’s easier to manage.”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "Let's leave this matter to you. Contact me after you've made the preparations. I'll buy you a big ship for shipping."

After explaining the matter, Niu Xiaoqiang chatted with Lao Wang for a few words before leaving.

He originally wanted to go home to get the tape, and then meet Wu Ping in the name of delivering the tape after get off work.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the factory gate, he bumped into Wu Ping.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously: "Secretary Wu, why did you come here?"

Wu Ping was followed by Niu Dazhuang and a correspondent. Niu Dazhuang answered Wu Ping without waiting for her: "Secretary Wu is here to find you and Director Fang."

At noon, the two parties had just had dinner together. At that time, Wu Ping didn't say anything to Niu Xiaoqiang. Now only three or four hours later, Wu Ping came to find him, which surprised Niu Xiaoqiang: "Secretary Wu asked What's the matter with us?"
