Free Web NovelChapter 433: Chapter 433: Judged by Appearance Again
After Chen Hongying left, Wang Hao also departed from the company. Since it was owned by Wen Yonglin, there was no worry of anyone causing trouble, so Wang Hao had to focus his energy on other matters.
Due to the booming sales of Pure Yang Pill, the Sun Family brothers had been kept busy with this affair. As a result, the business at Deshan Game Hall was now somewhat quiet.
On the surface, the hot sales of Pure Yang Pill were greatly beneficial to the expansion of the Sun Family’s power, but Wang Hao could not figure out why he always felt an unsettling sensation.
Since nothing had happened yet, Wang Hao did not stop them from selling Pure Yang Pill for now.
Moreover, the surrounding environment was also filled with an anxious atmosphere, making one feel as if something big was about to happen. The Sun Family brothers’ foothold in Zao City was not very solid, which was exactly when they needed to spend money.
"Maybe I’m just overthinking it!"
Wang Hao muttered to himself as he sat on his bed and glanced at the Alchemy Furnace in his room.
Seeing that the local herbs were about to mature soon, Wang Hao naturally would not remain idle since both Chen Village and the infrastructure there were still very backward.
With so much herbal medicine needing to be transported, it wasn’t just the road conditions that were a problem, but also the lack of transport vehicles became a significant issue, taking advantage of the time before the herbs matured.
Wang Hao felt it was time to find a reliable transportation fleet.
After making various inquiries, Wang Hao learned of a transportation company in Zao City and decided to find time to go and check it out.
Early the next morning, Wang Hao got up and came to the transportation company in Zao City, where the city’s largest rental market was also located, and where all kinds of transportation vehicles were available.
Many private cars were ceaselessly calling out to attract business on the outskirts of the market.
But since Wang Hao had a large volume of transport, he didn’t bother with these private cars and went straight to the largest transportation company inside.
"Boss, you are..."
It was different with a large company. As soon as he entered the gate, someone greeted him with a smile. The person who came was a One-eyed Dragon. They initially had a smile on their face, but as they saw Wang Hao, the smile instantly froze.
Then, they said impatiently,
"What are you doing here?"
"Sigh, I thought we had a big order coming in today, but it turned out to be a pauper!"
A young beauty at the front desk complained as well because she and the One-eyed Dragon manager earned commissions on rentals.
It seemed that these two did not have much regard for Wang Hao, thinking he was just there to look around, and even if he did rent, it would only be one vehicle. Considering the price of a thousand five a day, they wouldn’t get much of a commission.
"I’m here to rent a vehicle, probably in the next few days!"
Wang Hao said.
"Six thousand a day!"
The One-eyed Dragon manager quoted four times the price without hesitation.
Wang Hao was startled by the price because he had made some rough inquiries about the rates before arriving. The general price for heavy vehicles in Zao City was only a thousand five per day, at most two thousand.
This One-eyed Dragon directly demanded six thousand, wasn’t this price gouging?
"Hmph, looking at your shabby appearance, you can’t afford it. Get going now, we don’t offer credit here!"
The One-eyed Dragon said with an impatient face.
Because the procedure for renting one vehicle and a whole fleet was the same, as was the management, but the commission was much less. They didn’t want to spend the effort!
It seemed that Wang Hao was judged by his appearance again. He couldn’t help but sneer, about to say he wanted to rent dozens of vehicles, when suddenly a middle-aged man dressed in a suit entered.
"Manager Zhao, oh, what brings you here today!"
Seeing Manager Zhao coming in, the One-eyed Dragon immediately showed a full smile and promptly went up to greet him.
"Quick, quick, come sit over here. Have a cup of tea first!"
The One-eyed Dragon’s attitude did a complete one-eighty for the well-dressed Manager Zhao, offering him tea and cigarettes with great enthusiasm.
"I’m here to rent cars, preparing to rent fifteen trucks to help with moving goods!"
Owner Zhao was puffing on a cigarette, chest puffed out, the epitome of wealth and coarseness.
"Sure, sure, I’ll arrange it for you right away!"
One-eyed Dragon could hardly contain his smile; this was a big deal for him.
But when he glanced up and saw Wang Hao was still here and hadn’t left, his face immediately darkened.
"What’s with you, beggar? Scram already, don’t hold up my business!"
After speaking, he even pushed Wang Hao, leading Owner Zhao directly inside and then tossed out two words as an afterthought.
"Poor trash!"
Wang Hao was also speechless, thinking there was no interest in cooperating with such a snob, so he left the hall.
However, he still needed to rent a car for transporting his medicinal herbs, so he made his way to the private car owners by the roadside.
"Boss, are you looking to rent a car? We’re much cheaper than those transportation companies in there, we don’t have middlemen hiking up the price, as long as you’re within Zao City, it’s just one thousand a day!"
Seeing Wang Hao heading their way, the private car owners immediately swarmed around him, everyone was out for their livelihood and, with the opportunity presenting itself, naturally, they came over to compete and see if they had a chance!
Meanwhile, One-eyed Dragon was nearby showing Owner Zhao the vehicles, and seeing Wang Hao surrounded by a crowd of private car owners, he scoffed disdainfully.
Thinking to himself, truly a genuine poor wretch, only able to afford renting these cheap private cars.
"The price really is good, I’ll rent, but not for today, it will be in a few days. Can you guys leave me your phone numbers?"
Wang Hao explained.
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely contact you in a few days, and I won’t let you down. I’m willing to pay you an extra two hundred a day, how does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, the private car driver’s heart blossomed with joy at the prospect of an extra two hundred a day.
"No problem, boss, you sure are straightforward!"
The private car driver quickly gave his phone number to Wang Hao. frёewebηovel.cѳm
At this moment, One-eyed Dragon, with a face full of disdain, spoke up loudly on purpose.
"Really playing at being richer than you are, with that poor look of yours, what kind of goods can you have to move? I bet even if you do get this deal, you’ll struggle to cover the car rent."
One-eyed Dragon was intentionally picking a fight.
But these private car owners weren’t intimidated by One-eyed Dragon at all, they completely ignored him, acting as if they hadn’t heard a word he said.
Seeing that Wang Hao had already struck a deal with one private car owner, the others left in disappointment, feeling that this affair no longer had anything to do with them.
"Everyone, please wait a moment!"
Wang Hao suddenly called out to them, speaking loudly.
"The cargo I need to transport this time is very substantial, definitely requiring at least several dozen large trucks. If you’re willing to work with me, I’m very much looking forward to your participation."
As soon as Wang Hao said this, the entire place fell into silence.
The private car owners who were about to leave disheartened suddenly had their spirits lifted and promptly ran back.
But at this moment, One-eyed Dragon, standing not too far away, was taken aback.
Several dozen large trucks – since he had been in the business, he had never taken on such a big order. With a commission of one hundred and fifty per truck per day, the calculation could mean tens of thousands in commission.
One-eyed Dragon suddenly realized he might have missed out on a huge order!
Of course, he couldn’t miss such a big order, and he quickly ran toward Wang Hao, even leaving Owner Zhao standing there without concern.
