Chapter 824 What about you? !
Oda took a casual look and felt very disgusted.
It turned out that these were the truck owners he had been in contact with.
These people had previously known and helped a powerful local person, so with the help of that person they joined the local transport team.
Later, with the help of the people behind him, he chartered a vehicle from the previous transport team and went out on his own. He would adjust the price based on the customer's preference and would raise or lower it. He would always obey the transport team's orders and if he didn't take the opportunity to make more money, he would lose everything.
They never tell the truth to the outside world and cry poor all the time, but in fact they make a lot of money and dare not show off their wealth.
This time they heard that someone from Beijing was helping students with their studies and was also buying up walnuts. It was obvious that he was a wealthy man!
A few people got together to discuss and decided to speak with one voice in order to make a fortune.
So when Xiaotian found them, they kept saying that the price could not be lowered at all, because the journey was long and time-consuming, and they were not very familiar with this route, so there was no possibility of reducing the transportation cost.
Even though Oda approached them again and again, they refused to give in.
Because they knew that in the entire county, only their few trucks could go out during this period of time. The other trucks already had transportation tasks and could not accept orders.
So they were very confident and did not worry at all about whether Oda could find another large truck to help with transportation.
After a few days of stalemate, they felt it was time to close the net.
They decided to put pressure on Oda and tell him that if he didn't make a decision, they would have to accept other transportation tasks.
But just as they were happily waiting for Oda to come, a friend told them that Oda and his partner went to the train station to discuss freight matters.
The news made them panic.
They could have made a fortune, but now they may not even make a penny. The gap is so huge that they cannot accept it.
Thinking that they had just gone to negotiate, there should be some room for maneuver, so I had to intervene in time to see if I could intercept the transportation issue.
At worst, we can just reduce the transportation costs and make less profit.
After all, they also have many advantages.
They can pick up the goods from the source of supply and then deliver them to the designated location where they need them.
This can save a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, Xiaotian would have to arrange vehicles himself to transport the goods from the supply source to the train station, and then when he arrived in Beijing, he would have to arrange vehicles to take the goods away from the train station. This process was both costly and laborious.
So they decided to use this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Oda.
They also decided to describe the process in a more trivial way so that Oda would give up on train freight.
They were waiting at the door of the hotel with a lot of plans in mind. It was not until dark that Oda and his companions came back, anxiously waiting for them.
They immediately smiled and came forward, "Comrade Tian, where have you been? We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing that their behavior was unusual, Oda immediately realized that something was wrong with these people.
You know, when he approached them before, they all ignored him and acted like they were worth a fortune, which resulted in him often being turned away.
Or they treated him like a beggar, telling him not to come unless he had made up his mind. They were busy and didn't have that much free time to waste with him.
But today he seemed like a different person, so abnormal.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
He didn't believe that these people could change their temper overnight!
It's not a magic trick, what a joke!
Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, "Brothers, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Asking questions knowingly!
The people who were called "big brother" by Xiaotian were cursing in their hearts!
What is this grandson pretending to be!
Where did that cowardly look of begging for help from before go?
But if you seem so confident, I'm afraid the train freight deal has been reached!
You can't turn against him at this time.
Now he is their God of Wealth who makes money!
"Brother Tian," Sun Ji, the leader of the group, said with a different expression, even changing his address, "You are so forgetful, didn't we agree to use our truck to transport the walnuts to the capital? How come you forgot it after just one night?"
Hearing Sun Ji's accusation, Xiao Tian laughed angrily, "Brother Sun, didn't you say before that the transportation fee would not be reduced at all, and I thought the price was too high and not suitable, so I put it aside?"
"What are you putting on hold?" Sun Ji waved his hand. "There's no need to put anything on hold between us brothers. There's nothing we can't solve! It's just a matter of a word!"
Xiaotian and Deng Wei looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes about these people. They had been refusing to give in before, so how come it could be reduced to just a simple sentence today!
Xiaotian didn't want to play dumb, "What's the matter with one sentence?"
Seeing that Xiao Tian did not accept the challenge, Sun Ji and his companions secretly hated him. "Brother Tian, it's the freight. We have been feeling very upset these past two days. You are a foreigner and we didn't show our hospitality to you. Instead, we paid too much attention to our own interests. This is really unacceptable. So after discussing it, we decided to reduce the original freight price by 20%."
After saying that, he smiled at Xiaotian flatteringly, "Look, we brothers treat you as a brother, we are very sincere!"
Oda was surprised by their generosity!
But he also guessed that they must have known that he and Deng Wei went to the train station to discuss freight matters.
Otherwise, given their greedy character, how could they be willing to give up the opportunity to earn high transportation fees!
Of course, these people are also flexible. Since they all know that he is going to discuss train freight, they are still willing to lower the price to negotiate with him, which shows that there is still a lot of profit to be made here, so they are reluctant to give up.
"Brother Sun, thank you so much," Xiao Tian said, "but I'm short on time and you guys haven't agreed yet. I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to the train station to negotiate freight. So I'm sorry I can't use your truck."
"Hey, Brother Tian, it doesn't matter if we talk about the freight at the train station," Sun Ji said nonchalantly. "We guys drive big trucks to deliver goods here, which is better than train freight. You can tell the train station not to use their freight. They can't do anything about it."
"How can this be possible!" Xiaotian immediately shook his head, "I have already negotiated with the person!"
"You can break a contract even if it's agreed upon," Sun Ji said with an expression that said young people don't understand, "It's not like it can't be changed after it's agreed upon!"
"This is not good!" Oda said deliberately, wanting to know where their bottom line was.
"What's wrong with that?" Sun Ji saw Xiaotian like this and thought that Xiaotian was wavering. "A married couple can still get divorced, let alone you?!"
