Chapter 15: A Way To Liquidate General Points?

Fat Wu’s description was accurate. Sorting out packages was as easy as kicking a football.

They would point their toes at the parcel and strongly kick it. The package would fly for ten meters. No one cared about the sellers or the buyers. Nothing mattered as long as the package was delivered.

Actually, it was not that these workers did not want to be more responsible. The regular workers were even rougher on the packages. When the conveyor belt started, there was no time for you to handle the packages carefully. It did not matter whether it said fragile or expensive. If the cardboard box broke, there were designated people to collect them, taped them up, and put them back on the conveyor belt.

“This package broke. It seems to be wine or something. I can smell the alcohol.”

“Don’t bother with it. It’s fine as long as the delivery receipt doesn’t get wet. Throw it back on the conveyor belt. Remember, the delivery receipt faces up.”

The group of workers had a clear designated parking space to work at. Two people stood next to the truck, took out the packages and threw them on the ground. The other two people threw the packages onto the conveyor belt. As for the rest, they were responsible for “passing the ball”. After a while, it was surprisingly fun.

Fat Wu was “passing the ball”. He even started to brag to the regular workers’ boss and asked for a competition.

There was a guy standing next to Lu Zhou who was taking out the packages from the truck. He saw his classmates kicking the packages around and was unhappy. He could not tolerate it anymore and said quietly, “Take it easy, guys. My package could be in there.”

Of course, no one heard him. Even if they did, they would not have listened.

There were so many packages. If they passed them around gently, it would take them all night just to finish a few trucks.

Wu Dahai did not tell them how many packages to sort out. He just told them to listen to him. Lu Zhou estimated that the packaging facility must have had a contract with Wu Dahai. Wu Dahai probably got paid by the number of packages sorted.

For example, assuming five yuan for each package, if they just sorted out two thousand packages tonight, Fat Wu would get a big fat check. If they sorted a thousand more packages, that would be an extra five thousand yuan.

Lu Zhou calculated that there were ten other people here, working for eight hours. They could at least sort thirty thousand packages, right? Maybe even forty thousand. Counting himself and Fat Wu, there were twelve workers.

Lu Zhou suddenly did not feel so good.

Everyone else only got a measly hundred yuan for working all night, but this Fat Wu would probably earn a thousand or two. That’s enough for an average student’s monthly living expenses! Everyone else received money from home but this guy probably sends money back home.

However, no matter how jealous Lu Zhou got, he knew that if he tried to do it himself, he might not be able to even do it.

First of all, he had to find a lot of workers. Then, he had to organize these workers. Not only did he had to organize, but he also needed to have the ability to negotiate. He had to convince the people at the sorting center to trust him with the task. Also, he had to negotiate a reasonable price that both parties would be satisfied with.

Everything required a high emotional intelligence that one could not learn just by doing practice questions. Lu Zhou observed Fat Wu proficiently delegating the task and knew that there was no way for him to do the same, and neither could those football kicking people.
