Chapter 1520 Osmanthus Vehicle Fleet

"Coo, coo, coo!!!" The pigeon looked at Qiao Mei and called out fiercely.

Whose fault was it that it could not fly! How could it be the fault of this weak little pigeon? When would Yao Nian come and save it...

Why did she have to capture it? It had so many other colleagues! They should take turns, right?

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Qiao Mei looked at Lu Huai and Xia You seriously and continued, "I plan to start a small company called... let's call it 'Osmanthus Vehicle Fleet'. The main business is to deliver and pick up goods."

"A company? Why not a department?" Lu Huai asked.

"Because I want to expand this business in the future. I don't just want to transport our own goods, but I also want to deliver and pick up goods for other factories or companies," Qiao Mei explained.

"This is really too difficult for me. I'm worried that I can't do it... It's already very complicated to send our own goods to and from our factory, yet I also have to do this for other parties," Lu Huai said worriedly.

"It's fine, I have never run a factory before either. We have plenty of money and we're not afraid of failure. I'll invest the money and you'll put in the skills and manage the business. I plan to invest 100,000 dollars into this vehicle fleet, of which 60,000 dollars will be considered a loan from me to you. You don't have to return me the money of course. You can just give me the dividends from the first few years as repayment for the debt," Qiao Mei said.

Such an agreement was clearly unfair to Qiao Mei. If it was a company, then the money which Qiao Mei gave Lu Huai every month would be the fees for the services and not his salary. The amount should be completely different.

"Do you want to reconsider it? I think this entire matter is decided too hastily," Lu Huai asked.

"Then what are your worries? Tell me and we can solve it together," Qiao Mei said.

"How do we calculate the fees for each trip? How much should we pay the drivers and also how should we allocate the maintenance fees and miscellaneous expenses? I haven't seen any company in the capital that specializes in transport and logistics. Is it possible to make money from this? The cost of even one truck is not a small sum. Furthermore, it is definitely more cost-effective to use a train when there are a lot of goods to transport," Lu Huai explained in detail.

Qiao Mei had never come into contact with all these things before, but she knew that this industry would be very profitable in the future! No matter what, even if it meant losing money in the early stages, she must get this "Osmanthus Vehicle Fleet" started!

Xia You patted Lu Huai's hand and said, "It's alright, you still have me."

Lu Huai definitely would not be able to handle everything on his own. Xia You wanted to also work at Qiao Mei's factory so as to help Lu Huai, but she did not know how to raise this issue, especially since they were relatives.

Deng Fan was already working at Qiao Mei's factory and Lu Huai was going to join soon. She was a housewife who had never worked before. If she was hired as well, the third son's family would probably flip!

She was here today to discuss this matter with Qiao Mei.

"Qiao Mei, can I manage this company together with Lu Huai?" Xia You asked cautiously.

"Of course you can. I'm just lending you the money to put into the company. At the end of the day, I'll get back the money. Besides, it's not as if I won't get involved at all. In the early stages, I'll help you to get on the right track. I'll only completely hand it over to you at a later stage. Of course, I'm not doing it for nothing. In the event that my factory has difficulties with cash flow, then you'll be able to help, won't you?" Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Then isn't it the same if you also manage this company as well?" Xia You asked in confusion.

"Of course it's different! If my factory goes bankrupt and there's not enough money to pay all the debts, I'll have to sell everything I own. In such a case, this company won't be able to continue operating as well. However, if I lend you money, then this company will completely belong to you and it won't be part of my assets," Qiao Mei explained.

This time, Xia You completely understood Qiao Mei's intentions and agreed to the idea. She was a top student who graduated from Capital University with a degree in finance. How could she not be able to manage a company? n-.o--V.-e.)l()b/(1)-n

As long as she was given some time to revise all the things she learned, it would definitely be a piece of cake for her! She just did not like working, but it did not mean that she did not know how to do work!

"Then... how are we going to explain it to Third Uncle's family? How's the arrangement going with regard to Auntie Zhou's request to let Xia Lu and Xia Yan work at your factory? Did they cause any trouble for you?" Xia You asked.
