Chapter 285 What do you need me to do?
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky in Jiangcheng City had already turned gloomy.
Su Yang was smoking a cigarette while walking on the road with Shen Yi. Shen Yi sighed: "I want to apologize to you, but I really didn't expect you to make such a big fuss. Within a month, you opened 70 websites!"
"Where did your money come from?"
Su Yang exhaled a puff of smoke. He had nothing to hide from Shen Yi: "I bought two plots of land and got a development loan."
Shen Yi suddenly stopped and looked at Su Yang in disbelief.
“You misappropriated the development loan?”
Su Yang nodded. The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. As long as there is a chance, he will always try it. Besides, he is sure that Guan Shanshan, that conceited and silly woman, will never guess that he can do such a big thing.
Shen Yi slapped his head. If he lost the bet, even if Su Yang put all his money into Jitu Express and Susutong Logistics, it would still not be enough to pay the compensation.
"You are really braver than the sky!"
If it were him, he would definitely not do it. He took out a loan to buy two pieces of land and then took out another development loan. Most people would only think about how to build the building, pay back the money quickly, and then leave with the profit.
But since Su Yang is willing to take on debts of hundreds of millions just to provide Jitu Express with seventy express stations, he is trying to get an order that he is not sure whether he can get.
Su Yang patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said, "I have been in the business world for half a year, and I always win every time I gamble. Just don't worry!"
"This...hasn't this received the order?"
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, after a close call, nothing serious happened. The 110 stations meant that Jitu Express’s daily revenue had now exceeded 500,000, at least three times the original amount.
With a monthly cash inflow of 15 million, it is not difficult to pay off the 30 million development loan debt.
In addition, with the orders from Taotao.com, Su Yang can make a lot of money from the express delivery. If you think about it carefully, Su Yang made the right bet.
Shen Yi continued to move forward, but he kept smiling bitterly. Everyone who does business should be cautious, but Su Yang is the only one. The greater the risk, the more daring he is. He always dances on the edge of a knife, but he manages to escape unscathed.
"I didn't believe in destiny before, but after meeting you, I think some people are born to do great things!"
"My father is right, you are not an ordinary person..."
Shen Yi remembered that he questioned Su Yang three times, and Su Yang won every time.
A successful businessman knows when to retreat. Since he has proven that his ideas are rubbish, he will seriously consider whatever Su Yang says next time.
Su Yang put out the cigarette and sighed. In his previous life, he was the only one who knew how much suffering he had endured, how much pain he had endured, and how many people looked down upon him. From the prison in that dark ditch, where he had lived for fifteen difficult years, to the life of walking on thin ice in this life.
He doesn't want to do anything big, he just wants to live a good life, but there are people who don't want him to live a good life.
"It's cold enough..."
Shen Yi stood with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a windbreaker when he went out today, so it wasn't too cold.
"It's almost New Year's Day, but the sky is gloomy and there's not a single heavy snowfall."
"In previous years, the roads would have been covered in snow by this time of year."
“I don’t know what happened this year.”
Su Yang nodded absentmindedly. Just when he heard Shen Yi talking about the heavy snow, he suddenly stopped on the side of the road, then raised his head and looked around. The cold wind blew across his face like a knife.
Cars passed by one after another on the road next to us.
There were constant honking of cars at the intersection.
Shen Yi glanced at him: "What's wrong, what are you looking at?"
"Pie in the sky?"
As he spoke, he also raised his head and looked around.
Su Yang's mind was exploding like hot oil. How could he forget such an important thing!
At the end of 2008, a severe snowstorm swept across the country. In the worst-hit areas, the snowfall exceeded mm. Railways and highways were suspended, schools were closed, and all transportation routes connecting various cities were cut off.
The cities seemed to have become isolated ones.
In his previous life, he was in prison, watching the continuous reports of this severe snowstorm on TV. Since he was not outside facing it directly, he did not feel anything.
But this life is different. Whether it is Susutong Logistics or Jitu Express, they all rely on road and rail transportation!
Once the railways stop operating and the highways stop transporting goods, all modes of transportation will be cut off.
If I count the days again, I'm afraid there are only less than three days left...
This heavy snow will affect the economy for at least half a month. Under normal circumstances, it would only take half a month and it would pass if we hold on. However, Jitu Express has just started to prepare and won the order from Taotao.com.
Let’s not talk about the impact on Jitu Express’s reputation if the factory stops working for half a month.
The loss in wages alone will be more than two million, and the loss in revenue will directly exceed eight million. The most serious thing is that this will cause Jitu Express's originally thriving performance, accumulated reputation, and advertising investment to suffer a devastating blow!
If Huatong Express takes advantage of this opportunity and rises against the trend again!
Su Yang couldn't imagine...
But fortunately, he still has time to prepare for a rainy day. If this crisis is handled properly, it may be an opportunity for Jitu Express, an opportunity to completely seize the entire market and drive Huatong Express out of Jiangcheng City.
Su Yang took a deep breath.
Shen Yi was even more puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Su Yang lowered his head and looked at Shen Yi: "It's going to snow."
Shen Yi was happy: "Sure, isn't it normal for it to snow in the north? On the contrary, it's almost New Year's Day and it hasn't snowed yet, that's abnormal!"
Su Yang shook his head: "It's not just ordinary snow, it's heavy snow, a blizzard!"
Shen Yi's expression changed.
"How much snow?"
Su Yang thought for a while: "It's enough to paralyze the traffic for at least a week. It will be impossible to restore the full capacity within at least half a month. All the power transmission devices on the railway will fail."
"The snowstorm came too suddenly, and there weren't enough diesel locomotives to deal with it."
"The New Year is coming soon. Do you think the railway will transport people first or express delivery first?"
"How long will the existing batch of express and logistics packages be stranded?"
“How many cases of lost or missing items will we encounter?”
“How many people are needed to deliver the packages that have accumulated for more than half a month at a time?”
Shen Yi's eyes were a little wandering. Currently, small-scale transportation was still carried out by trucks, but large-scale transportation had to be carried out by rail. Once what Su Yang said really came true, it would mean that the logistics and transportation of the entire Dongjiang Province, and even the entire country, would stop.
"Are you kidding?"
Su Yang shook his head: "I'm definitely not kidding!"
Shen Yi's eyes were evasive. He was thinking about how likely it was that Su Yang said this. Reason told him that what Su Yang said couldn't be true. How could anyone predict the future?
But his emotion told him that everything Su Yang said had come true.
He didn't know what Su Yang based his judgment on.
But he understood that storytelling requires logic, but reality often does not require logic!
After more than ten minutes of mental struggle, Shen Yi let out a long sigh and finally chose to believe Su Yang.
"What do you need me to do?"
