MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 16 【Recruiting troops to buy horses】
With $100,000 of start-up capital in his hands, Yang Yong felt his waist straightened and his courage grew a lot. With 100,000 dollars, I returned to my room and carefully studied what my next most urgent tasks were.
The first and most urgent task is that he needs to buy a horse, that is, he lacks the means of transporting these tattered vehicles. After all, some items returned from auction are large items. The most typical example is the half motorcycle rack yesterday.
The second most important task is to recruit troops. You should recruit a few trusted men to help you rummage for things, even load supplies and drive. After all, warehouse auctions are held in all parts of the United States. There are hundreds of warehouses auctioned every day, and it is impossible to concentrate on one city. Therefore, professionals in the field of dry warehouse digging must travel frequently.
Go to different cities for warehouse auctions. If you stay in one place and one city, this is pure suicide and you have to starve to death. So I have to find a few helpers, otherwise I will exhaust myself, a semi-crippled, so it is imperative to recruit troops. There should be a plan for everything, and Yang Yong also planned an action plan for himself. Today's first priority is to recruit qualified staff.
The requirements are not too high. After all, auctioning waste warehouses is not a high-tech occupation, and it can be done by anyone. But the subordinates must have a very important point, and that is the degree of loyalty. If these subordinates play tricks with themselves and hold a gun and rob themselves, it may happen. Therefore, when recruiting soldiers, you don't pay attention to personal ability, but only to see if this person has loyalty, loyalty to yourself, and obedience to yourself. This is the most important thing. But all of a sudden let yourself go where to find someone who fits the bill! I have a lot of alcoholic friends, but those are good friends I played with when I was a child. When I get together, I don't have to talk about it except to eat, drink, fight, and fight, but if they want to do serious things, those alcoholic friends can't be trusted by Yang Yong. It is impossible to be loyal to Yang Yong.
They are all guys who are open-minded when they see money. They go to the bar to drink and have their heads broken. They also don't see them coming to the hospital to see their injured friend. friends to visit. Yang Yong, his unreliable friend, has given up on these wine bags and rice bags, and he doesn't want to contact these useless guys anymore. His prodigal son has turned back, and it is impossible to keep in touch with these little bastards. It is impossible to say that one day he will die because of them, and what will his mother do when the time comes. So Yang Yong made up his mind to be a new man, and cut off contact with all his former gangster friends. Since then, he has gone his own way.
But apart from these wine and meat friends, Yang Yong really can't remember who else he knows. As a last resort, Yang Yong had to ask the headhunting company to find a few reliable men for him. After he figured this out, Yang Yong used his computer to send recruitment resumes to several medium-sized headhunting companies in the New York City area. , the recruitment information is as follows. Recruiting a porter with a driver's license, who can travel frequently, is physically strong, and has strong pressure resistance. The weekly salary is 800 US dollars. The number of recruits is both male. Seeing that this information is very short, it can stun many gaudy applicants. Among them, they can travel frequently. The knowledge in this is not small. If it is a man with a family, it is impossible to travel frequently. Otherwise, the wife must be divorced. . Only those young men who are divorced or single can meet the conditions for Mr. Yang's recruitment.
The reason for the second item: strong body and strong resistance to pressure is because there are a lot of useless items in the warehouse returned from the auction. You need to carry discarded garbage bags and even a set of wooden furniture back and forth. Besides, there are some large items, which are very heavy and bulky. They can only be carried by people who need to be physically strong, and it is the first priority to be physically strong. The recruitment information is simple and clear, and the price that Yang Yong gave is definitely a high salary, 800 per week! $800 too! A Ford pickup truck won't cost more than 15,000 bucks. The weekly salary of 800 yuan is 3,200 US dollars a month, 12 months a year, plus travel subsidies and bonuses, a total of 50,000 US dollars a year. This is the income of a high-paid middle-class family, and it's no wonder if you don't rob your head.
Yang Yong's start-up capital is only 100,000 US dollars, which is not much money. Only careful calculation can be enough to survive the early hard years. Therefore, if only two porters were recruited, the commissions of several headhunting companies cost Yang Yong more than 5,000 US dollars. The recruitment information can be broadcast for a month to ensure that he can find satisfactory porters. After posting the news online, Yang Yong greeted his mother and drove his Chevrolet straight to the New York City used car market. That's right, Yang Yong wants to buy a second-hand van, as long as the car is in good condition and durable. As for whether it's beautiful or not, Yang Yong can't consider this issue yet, nor is he qualified to consider it.
The second-hand car market in the United States is very hot. After all, the car ownership of American families is still the first in the world, and almost every family has one or more cars. There are tens of millions of second-hand car transactions in a year, and there are many directly scrapped vehicles, which can be kept at about 50% new. Even in the second-hand car market, it is only a few thousand dollars, which is very cheap and durable. When he was on the road, Yang Yong had already figured out what the used car he needed looked like? What price? So after coming to the second-hand car market, Yang Yong did not hang out, but went straight to the second-hand truck exhibition area. There were several salesmen in each exhibition area. When he saw Yang Yong's arrival, there was a middle-aged uncle with a sharp eye and the speed of sprinting 100 meters. Appeared in front of Yang Yong, and took the initiative to extend his hand to introduce himself to Yang Yong. "Hello sir, I am Sam, the truck salesman. I have worked here for 5 years. I am more familiar with these trucks than my wife. You will never tell me if you need anything. Just tell me."
Seeing that the other party is so enthusiastic, Yang Yong also smiled and said, "I want to choose an 80% new truck. The price should be less than 10,000 US dollars. You can introduce me to a van that can meet my requirements." Sam, the car salesman, is indeed an old fritter, and he has real skills, after summarizing the requirements that Yang Yong needs. In less than half a minute, he took Yang Yong around a few corners with a smile and came to the innermost part of the second-hand truck. He pointed to 3 trucks of different brands and introduced Yang Yong mysteriously. "Sir, these three trucks are all 80% new, or even 90% new. One Mercedes-Benz, one Buick, and one BMW have not been used for more than a year and a half, and even this Mercedes-Benz has been driving. The distance has not exceeded 3,000 kilometers, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new car. The compartment area reaches 20 cubic meters, which belongs to the standard of medium-sized trucks, but the price is a bit expensive, reaching 35,000 US dollars, but it is worth the money.” The first car the other party introduced to him was actually a 90% new Mercedes-Benz truck with a price of $35,000. $35,000 car price up front. As long as the truck is of good quality, it doesn't matter if you spend an extra $20,000, hehe! All of these car salesmen are very keen to grasp human nature very accurately.
