Chapter 44 Preparation of Disaster Relief Supplies.
Chapter 44 Preparation of Disaster Relief Supplies.
Du Sheng walked out of the office.
Initiate a group video call in the work group.
Everyone arrived shortly afterward.
Everyone was chatting idly about the recent rain.
Du Sheng carefully considered his words before speaking: "Well, I have a job coming up in the next couple of days. See if anyone has time to come with me."
"Brother Du, it's not that I don't want to go out in this heavy rain, it's just too dangerous. If something happens... I have seven or eight people at home waiting for me to earn money to eat."
The speaker was a middle-aged man around forty years old, with a troubled expression on his face.
"Boss, where are we heading this time?"
A young man in his twenties asked.
Du Sheng explained the situation to everyone.
"This trip is to Ling City next door. Qingzhuo Mountain is severely affected by the disaster and supplies are extremely scarce. But we will only drive to the outside of the mountain and will not be allowed to drive into the disaster area."
After saying that, he added.
"If I go with them this time, I'll be almost like a disaster relief hero, which would be a great deed."
"I'm going on this trip with everyone, and I will make sure no one goes into any dangerous areas."
A chubby young man spoke up: "I can come along this time, boss."
The chubby boy was shirtless, and you could see a little tattoo peeking out from his shoulder.
Seeing that someone was willing to go, Du Sheng continued.
"The boss who came to us this time is giving us a subsidy. He gave us 10 yuan when we went there, and another 10 yuan when we returned safely after completing the mission."
The young man who had just asked about the destination no longer hesitated after hearing Du Sheng's words.
"Boss, I can go too."
A dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man carefully considered his words before speaking.
“If you are offered 20 yuan, and five people go, each person will receive 4 yuan. If I can actually get 4 yuan, I can go. If it’s less than 4 yuan, it’s not worth the risk.”
He meant to ask Du Sheng whether the money should be distributed to everyone or whether the motorcade should take a cut.
Du Sheng didn't beat around the bush.
“This time the company isn’t sending you to drive. You can keep whatever money you’re paid, but whether you go or not is entirely up to you.”
The implication is clear: the team is not responsible.
If you want to make money, go; if you don't, don't go. The racing team won't take a cut from their earnings.
In the end, a total of 6 people were selected to drive the vehicles.
Du Sheng and his brother-in-law were confirmed when Du Sheng called Ji Anran.
The drivers in the group are the young Xiao Liu, the dark-skinned and thin Brother Ding, the honest middle-aged man Brother Wang, and the tattooed chubby guy.
Du Sheng knew that He Fan and the others were anxious.
Once the number of people was confirmed, the drivers were instructed to come immediately.
We're going to load the truck tonight.
After making these arrangements, it took almost 20 minutes to get back to the office.
He Fan and the other man were almost full from drinking tea in the room.
"Well, Brother Du, are you sure?" He Fan put down his teacup.
Du Sheng nodded, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, there are six drivers in total. They'll be here in a bit."
"Ms. He, is it feasible to pay the driver's subsidy of 10 yuan before departure?"
He Fan had originally planned to pay in advance, but after hearing what he said, he didn't mention it again.
She turned her head and looked outside at a semi-trailer truck that was more than twenty meters long.
Six cars seem about right, so there's no need to add more cars from other fleets for now.
Du Sheng was well-prepared and even prepared a liability waiver for He Fan.
After signing the agreement, He Fan used his mobile phone to contact Wu You to inquire about the progress of the material preparation.
Wu You's side is also making preparations in full swing.
Knowing it was disaster relief supplies, she started making frantic phone calls and drove her little Alto around everywhere.
About an hour later, all the drivers had gathered.
He Fan said he was going to transfer the subsidy money to everyone.
Have everyone register their bank card numbers and give them to Ji Anran.
He then transferred another 1000 million yuan of system gold to Ji Anran.
Let him get everyone's list and bank card number and transfer the money one by one.
As soon as He Fan transferred the money to Ji Anran's card, the system, which had been manipulated by PUA, wisely began to broadcast announcements.
He understood that as long as he transferred the money to his target, any money that wasn't ultimately spent on He Fan would be considered spent on his target!

He Fan nodded with satisfaction. This rich kid has really grown up; he's so sensible!
Du Shengxian received a text message about the transfer and gasped when he saw the amount of money in his account.
She locked her phone without making a fuss, then went to He Fan's side and whispered something.
"Miss He, did you transfer all their money to me? Or is there something wrong with the transfer?"
Before he could finish speaking, he realized something was wrong.
Because he heard that everyone's phones were receiving text messages one after another.
He Fan found it strange; Ji Anran shouldn't have made a mistake with such an easy number to calculate.
Just then, the chubby boy also received the text message and exclaimed in surprise.
"How come I received 10? Boss Ji, did you transfer all our advance payments to me?"
He Fan whispered to Du Sheng, "It should be correct. 10 for each of the six cars, plus 10 for each driver's trip fee. You should have received a total of 70. I won't worry about the fuel and highway tolls on the way."
He then turned to everyone and asked, "Have you all received it? 100,000 yuan per person. Everyone, please be careful on the way to the disaster relief. Deliver the supplies to the disaster area and come back safely. I will transfer the remaining payment to your bank cards on time."
Brother Wang, Xiao Liu, and the others were stunned by these words.
Is it really a subsidy of 20 yuan per person?
The dark-skinned and thin Brother Ding was the first to react, secretly pleased that he had come.
Du Sheng is a little confused now.
When they first started negotiating, he genuinely thought the total subsidy for the fleet would be 20 yuan, to be split equally among the drivers...
Unexpectedly, it was 20 per person.
Little Fatty's smile was even harder to suppress than AK's, his gaze burning as if he were looking at the person he admired most.
He patted his chest and assured, "Boss He, don't worry, I, Little Fatty, will definitely deliver every single package of goods to the disaster victims."
He Fan found the chubby man amusing.
But he said seriously, "The most important thing is our own safety. The goods can be transported again, but our lives come first. We must come back safely. I still need to pay you the final payment."
Du Sheng stopped thinking about it and, seeing that He Fan had no intention of changing his mind, addressed his old acquaintances.
"Let me confirm with everyone one last time: our trip to deliver goods to the disaster area is entirely voluntary. Please be sure to pay attention to your safety on the road."
"To put it bluntly, if anything unexpected happens, neither the convoy nor Ms. He will be responsible. If you're sure you want to go, sign this waiver, and then we'll set off now! Let's get the truck loaded!"
"Voluntary! Let's go!"
"We're definitely going. Let's go and contribute to the country!"
"We'll take care of it ourselves. We're all experienced drivers; we're confident we can handle this little stunt!"
Whether it's genuinely for disaster relief or just to make money.
Everyone is much more determined now than when they first arrived, and they have signed a waiver of liability.
A disaster relief group was set up, and He Fan sent in the location information that Wu You had given him.
The group then started the truck and set off.
Ji Anran and He Fan drove at the front, followed by six large trucks, making a grand and impressive procession.
The rain outside looks much lighter than it did in the morning.
Upon arrival at our destination, we found ourselves in a large warehouse at a daily necessities wholesale market.
Wu You was holding an umbrella and negotiating with a short-haired woman in her thirties.
Upon seeing the convoy starting with a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Wu You hurried over to greet them.
"Sister Fan, the supplies here are quite complete. I called the wholesale market directly to coordinate. The big wholesalers are all rushing here. So far, only the food has arrived first. We've already ordered bottled water, instant noodles, bread, sausages, and other convenient items needed for disaster relief, and they've given us the lowest market prices."
Wu You reported the situation to He Fan.
"In addition, the owner of this market deals in water equipment, and since it's summer now, they have plenty of life jackets, kayaks, swimming rings and other similar items in stock."
He Fan listened as he followed Wu You toward the warehouse.
The woman who had just been negotiating with Wu You also came over.
"Sister Zhang, this is our boss," Wu You said to the short-haired woman.
Practice makes perfect, and He Fan readily extended his hand upon seeing the newcomer: "Hello, He Fan."
Sister Zhang quickly reached out and shook hands in return.
"Hello, Mr. He, this is Zhang Yuan. Let's go inside and talk. I've already called all the wholesalers, and they'll be here soon."
Lu Sheng and his group parked their car under the guidance of the security guard and sat in the car to wait for the goods to be unloaded.
He Fan and the other two followed Zhang Yuan into the conference room.
The person sitting inside must be the food wholesaler Wu You mentioned.
Since He Fan wasn't too concerned about the price, he didn't spend much time negotiating the pricing of these supplies.
These are basically the prices that Wu You had negotiated with the wholesalers beforehand.
"I brought a total of 6 trucks. How about you fill 3 of them? Pack as much of the essentials as possible: instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, bottled water, bread, and compressed biscuits. Also pack other items like sausages and meat products. Try to find fillings to increase your energy."
He Fan was completely in the dark.
She wasn't very clear about the car's capacity and load-bearing capacity.
We can only charge by the vehicle, so we've handed this job over to the drivers and wholesalers.
The wholesaler thought it was no big deal.
Three small trucks, fully loaded, will be done in two hours at most.
Until she walked out of the conference room.
I saw three 20-meter-long box trucks parked at the warehouse entrance...
The food wholesaler silently pulled out his phone: "Hey, call more people to the market. Loading goods, yeah, come on, we'll work overtime tonight, we'll give overtime pay after we finish, call everyone who can come..."
