Chapter 44: Let’s Plan It Out
Chen Yang nodded slightly, picked up the Tongji Office clerk list on the table, slowly scanned the crowd, and said: “Since everyone has no issues, I’ll now arrange everyone’s work.”
“Who is Gao You?”
A man in his thirties stepped forward from the crowd, bowed, and said: “Officer Chen, I am Gao You.”
Chen Yang sized him up and said: “You go interface with the First Section, responsible for materials fundraising and transportation.”
Next, Chen Yang casually selected one named Li Chengliang and had him interface with the Second Section.
The remaining two were named Zhao Wenbin and Qian Kuan respectively.
Chen Yang considered for a moment and had one interface with the General Affairs Office and the other interface with the Dispatch Center.
With the four people’s work all arranged, Chen Yang looked at the list and said: “Director Chu has had an incident, Deputy Director Xie has his own matters, I see the office also needs a new leader.”
“How about this, temporarily have Feng Jian take Deputy Director Xie’s position, you all first do your own things well.”
“Does anyone have any issues?”
What? That sweeping boy with the lowest position in the whole office, what dog shit luck did he walk into, promoted to deputy director on his first day of work?
While jealous, the crowd was also extremely envious, this one sentence saved him how many years of struggle.
From clerk to leader, that’s a huge gulf, and he just lightly leaped over it like that?
God must be blind.
And at this time, Feng Jian, who was still at the Police Station helping handle Chu Mingan’s aftermath, suddenly sneezed for no reason.
Even his left eye started twitching violently nonstop.
Feng Jian rubbed his eyes and muttered: “So strange, the weather isn’t cold, could it be I bumped into some weird thing?”
In the Director of the Economic Department’s Office, after assigning everyone’s work, Chen Yang had Li Ningyu bring over all the information that Chu Mingan was responsible for.
He now needed a large amount of information for data coordination to design the optimal plan and improve transportation efficiency.
Li Ningyu acknowledged and hurried to fetch the information.
Chen Yang rubbed his eyes and casually pulled a pack of cigarettes from his inner lining, lit one.
Chen Yang, having transmigrated to this world, besides bringing his own designed AI system, also brought coffee and a smoking habit.
As a pure workhorse boss struggling hard on the entrepreneurship line, 996 was normal for him.
If possible, he even hated not doing 007.
But even so, he hadn’t succeeded, which showed that diligence is just the foundation of success, not the absolute factor.
In other words, not every diligent boss can succeed; sometimes besides being diligent enough, the most important thing is still a bit of luck.
Before one cigarette was finished, the office door was pushed open again.
Chen Yang looked up, it was an old acquaintance: “Ino-kun, it’s only my first day at work today, how did you find this place?”
Ino Yusuke sat down opposite Chen Yang on his own and smiled: “The Minister knows it’s your first day at work, Chen-san, and specially had me deliver a bonus to you.”
“He said this is your Chinese People’s tradition, hoping you will profit immensely in the future, with prosperous source of wealth and promote step by step.”
Saying that, Ino Yusuke pulled out a pre-sealed red envelope from his pocket and handed it over.
Chen Yang pinched it, inside was a thin sheet, probably not paper money but a check.
This Minister Suzuhara really knows how to act like a human.
Ino Yusuke continued: “Right, Chen-san, besides this, I also have an official mission to interface with you on.”
“Previously, Minister Liang applied to the Gendarmerie Headquarters for a materials warehouse matter, the Minister already has approval.”
“The Minister plans to convert a cotton mill warehouse on Mai Gen Road and several surrounding small warehouses into a large materials storage warehouse.”
“Currently those small warehouses are already being demolished and rebuilt, we retained the main warehouse as a temporary storage center.”
“Once this warehouse is fully built, the area will be even larger than the Expeditionary Army Logistics Department’s warehouse, enough for you to use.”
Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand: “Ino-kun, for this kind of thing, you can communicate with the people below, no need to specially tell me.”
“However, I do have an important matter I hope you convey to Minister Suzuhara.”
“I know the Minister is very cautious in his actions, even if I propose to meet him now, he will have reservations.”
“So, for this period, I still need Ino-kun to act as middleman to pass messages.”
“An important matter?” Ino Yusuke frowned, sized up Chen Yang in surprise, and said: “Chen-san, you’re not planning to have the Minister cooperate with you to make a move on the materials warehouse, are you?”
“I think the Minister won’t agree, your materials warehouse is directly under the Nanjing Ministry of Finance’s jurisdiction.”
“Though the Minister has authority to inquire, he doesn’t have the power to mobilize materials at will.”
“Moreover, most of these materials are related to military supplies, touching them easily brings trouble upon oneself, the cost is too high.”
Chen Yang chuckled lightly and said: “Ino-kun, can you widen your perspective a bit.”
“Do you think I need to make a move on the materials warehouse?”
“I want you to tell the Minister that what he wanted to see, I’ve already achieved.”
“From now on, I can call the shots on Shanghai’s transportation routes to the surroundings, your goods can be transported out however you want.’
“As long as it’s within the Nanjing New Government’s jurisdiction, with one stamp from me, all materials can arrive safely.”
“Not just railway, even water route shipping is no problem.”
Ino Yusuke suddenly understood: “No wonder the Minister said Chen-san you look down on those of ours, turns out you’re after the transportation network.”
“Of course, transportation efficiency is the most important link in the materials business.” Chen Yang said seriously: “I can connect upstream and downstream, all speculators in Shanghai have to look at my face.”
“If I’m unwilling, they can’t transport out even a single grain of rice.”
“As for the Minister’s side, if he needs my transportation, I only charge ten percent fee.”
“If he also wants to borrow my network, then I charge thirty percent fee.”
“Thirty percent just for handling, Chen-san, aren’t you too greedy?” Ino Yusuke’s tone seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
Chen Yang smiled faintly: “Ino-kun, you can relay these words to Minister Suzuhara, I believe he will surely think this is a very fair price.”
“I dare to charge this much because I have full confidence; as long as the goods enter my warehouse, if anything happens later, I will compensate at the original price.”
Upon hearing this, Ino Yusuke immediately seemed somewhat swayed; though earning a bit less money, with Chen Yang guaranteeing no issues with the materials and compensating at price if problems arise, this condition’s temptation was too great.
Ino Yusuke was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Alright, Chen-san, I will relay your words verbatim to the Minister; if there’s nothing else, I’ll go down first to confirm the materials warehouse matter with them.”
Chen Yang raised his hand: “Wait a moment, Ino-kun, don’t forget to remind Minister Suzuhara about the four wharves in Chinese Territory.”
Ino Yusuke smiled faintly: “Chen-san, rest assured, the Minister already has a plan for this matter.”
“I’ll take my leave first.”
“See you off, Ino-kun.”
