Chapter 302: To lift or not to lift?
Early morning of January 2008, 1.
At the Susutong Logistics Company, one hundred trucks turned on their headlights at the same time. Outside, there were the dual logos of Susutong Logistics and J&T Express. Plain-colored trucks, one after another, set out from the Susutong Logistics headquarters, from the main road of Jiangcheng City, all the way to the highway.
At the highway intersections, these trucks with their headlights on blocked all twelve entrances to the highway.
Many people came out to watch. On weekdays, there are quite a few trucks transporting goods, but it is rare to see so many trucks setting off at the same time like today.
Su Yang was sitting in the front truck, and Bian Zhenguo couldn't help but yawn.
Although he was also a truck driver, he hadn't driven for some years. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Su Yang personally escorted the truck and asked him to drive the team straight to the Huagang Logistics Transfer Station on the outskirts of Chuncheng City.
Their task today is to clear out all the express deliveries from Taotao.com from Huagang Logistics before the heavy snow comes.
"how's it going?"
Su Yang glanced at Bian Zhenguo, who picked up the intercom beside him and said, "Hello, hello, have you passed the toll booth?"
"Go directly to the China-Hong Kong Logistics Transfer Center. Have you memorized the route?"
"If you can't remember, just follow the car in front. Don't lose it, and don't run too slowly. When you finish this batch, there will be the next one."
After Bian Zhenguo finished speaking, there was a burst of electric sound in the intercom, followed by responses one after another.
"understood……"
"received."
"I heard it, Mr. Bian."
Bian Zhenguo started the car, and the trucks rumbled onto the highway. One hundred trucks almost occupied the truck lane of the highway. It was about one hundred and five kilometers from Jiangcheng City to the transfer station of Huagang Logistics in Chuncheng City. Starting from the highway and passing a section of national highway, it would take an hour and a half.
We set off in the early morning, and just as the sky was getting light, the large truck in front of us had already arrived at the transfer station of Huagang Logistics.
This is a park that stretches as far as the eye can see, with trucks coming in and out in an endless stream. It is also the largest transshipment center of Huagang Logistics in Dongjiang Province.
The car just arrived and stopped in front.
"Boss Bian, the people from China Port Logistics have stopped us!"
Bian Zhenguo was slightly startled: "I had already told them before coming here that Jitu Express would come to pick up the goods. Why did they stop us?"
The man on the other end of the intercom laughed bitterly, "They said they thought five or six cars would be enough, but we came with a hundred. All the cars were loading goods, so there was no room for so many cars!"
Bian Zhenguo was a little annoyed: "There are so many express deliveries in the warehouse. I drove five or six cars here. Are they talking nonsense?"
"Ask them when there will be space for us to go in?"
There was no movement on the intercom for a while. Three minutes passed before the man spoke again: "Boss Bian, I asked, it's already noon. We have so many trucks. If we load the goods and go back, it will be at least afternoon. Otherwise, should we wait?"
Bian Zhenguo didn't reply, but just glanced at Su Yang. Su Yang took the intercom, turned around, opened the car door and got out.
"Where are you waiting?"
Bian Zhenguo also quickly turned off the car and followed.
Su Yang took a deep breath. He thought that Bian Zhenguo had already communicated clearly with Huagang Logistics. Today's batch of goods did not need them to deliver. Susutong Logistics would take them all away at once.
This would have been a good thing for China Port Logistics, after all, it saved them the trouble of making a trip. But who would have thought that when they arrived at the door, they would be stopped and not allowed in?
And you still want to wait until noon?
Isn't this nonsense? Why did he get up so early? It was because it was going to snow this morning. If he waited until noon, it would be too late.
We must load the truck now and return to Jiangcheng immediately to make it in time!
He walked all the way towards the truck entrance of China Port Logistics, walking faster and faster. There were at least a dozen vehicles ahead of Bian Zhenguo. He walked step by step to the entrance. The closer he got, the more he could hear the shouting and cursing outside the door.
"Before we came, we informed you in advance that we would take away all the goods in the warehouse today!"
"Why didn't you let us in when we came today?"
The driver of Susutong Logistics had a red face from the quarrel.
The security guard stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant: "You can't tell me, I told you, five or six cars can go in, but if all of your 100 cars go in, how much space will it take up?"
"Do you really think that our China-Hong Kong Logistics only serves your company?"
"No matter how many convoys come in and out, they all have to abide by the rules!"
"Allowing you to go in at noon is already an exception. Don't be so shameless!"
The driver of the SuSuTong Logistics almost rushed up and slapped the security guard, but the person following the car quickly pulled him back.
"No, no, no, don't get excited!"
The security guard glanced at him and said, "Do you still want to fight me?"
"Hit me, hit me. If you hit me, I'll fall right down. If you want to pay me, just hit me. What am I afraid of? I can still take a rest after getting beaten up!"
"I see you guys driving big trucks eight hundred times a day. You are not respectful to me. Yes, you make more money than me, but today I am here, and you can't enter this door. I said it!"
Su Yang was holding the walkie-talkie in his hand and could hear the security guard's arrogant voice from a distance.
He walked up to the security guard and looked at him without saying a word.
The security guard looked Su Yang up and down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bian Zhenguo, who hurried over, took a deep breath and said, "Brother, before we came here, we had already discussed with Huagang Logistics and told them to take away all the Taotao.com express deliveries in the warehouse this morning. You only let us in with five or six vehicles, how could we possibly take the goods away!"
The security guard was a little impatient: "I've already told you, what does this have to do with me!"
"This is the company's rule. We are not allowed to bring so many trucks in at once. I have reported it to the higher-ups. What they mean is that if we can't coordinate, we will let you wait until noon and deliver the goods at noon. Is that not okay?"
"Many trucks come here and have to wait a day to load their goods."
"I'm already giving you face by letting you wait until noon!"
Su Yang sneered: "Others can do it, but I can't. Since I'm here, I have to load the goods now. Let me ask you, are you going to lift the pole or not?"
The security guard glared at Su Yang. He was respectful to Bian Zhenguo because he realized that he might be a leader. But Su Yang was just a young boy. What the hell was so great about him that he dared to threaten him?
"I just won't lift it today, what can you do?"
"I'm just standing here. I won't let any car in!"
"I don't believe you can fly in!"
