FIRST DAY EXPERIENCE AT WORK

The next morning i woke up very early and started preparing for my first day at work.

I was really excited, i took my bath, dressed up and went into Angels room but i realized she was still sleeping so i decided not to disturb her sleep.

I went downstairs to have breakfast and as i got there i met Mr. Fred on the table already and his wife serving him a cup of tea and few slice of bread.

I greeted, "Good Morning Mr. Fred", "Good Morning mummy."

I called her mummy because she was nice to me for the one week i have spent with her in the house.

Good morning Sam, she said.

"Oh, you called my wife 'mummy' and you are calling me 'Mr. Sam right?" Just be ready to work your as* out today.

No sir, it is not like that, i am sorry.

"Good morning daddy." I corrected smiling.

"Good morning my boy, how was your night?"

It was fine sir and yours?

"We thank God."

I sat down close to Mr. Fred and his wife served me a hot cup of tea and three slices toasted bread.

We ate in silence and when we were do, we left the house but before we did. I told Mrs. Susan and told her that she should inform Angel when she wakes up that i have gone to work, that i will see her when i return by weekend.

We left and entered Mr. Freds car and went to the site where Mr. Fred does his business.

We dropped at a company called Sea Freight.

We unpacked everything we came with including my bags inside a small room where Mr. Fred said that was were i will be staying until i am done with my training.

He told me few things about the company.

He told me that TJ China Freight has many years of experience, in helping customers to arrange their ocean freight shipments.

That the company offer LCL and FCL service from port to port up to door-to-door.

They also save a team in which each member has 20 years of experience in the industry.

TJ China Freight works with all shipping lines, like Costco, EMC, YML and so on.

They have fixed contract rates with many carriers to secure guaranteed space and truck availability also in peak seasons.

They provide and arrange the fastest, the most convenient routings for our customers' shipments at competitive rates.

Their extensive experience and skills with sea freight, combined with their exceptional customer service make them confident in the fact that they can meet all of their customers needs.

He told me almost everything there were into in the company and i was jotting everything he was saying in a book.

He told me how they package and deliver goods and the process involved.

He took me to one of their department and asked me to watch how things are done.

After few hours of watching all this things happen, i fell in love with the business.

Do you know some major reasons why most customers choose TJ China?

No sir.

It is because we have a competitive price.

Spending years in industry to create long-term contracts with highly reputed carriers; with a large quantity of goods delivered every year… all of these contribute to our competitive prices.

Secondly we deliver goods on time.

Deadlines matter in this business world. Therefore, we only work with the credible and reliable carriers to ensure that your goods are safely delivered on time, in time and every time.

Lastly for today before i join my colleagues, we provide hassle free services.

As our customers trusted partner, we always submit hassle-free service by seamlessly managing the entire shipping process, from booking, to pickup and delivery, to customs and documentation, and beyond.

These are the few things you have to know as theory before we get to the main deal.

He took me to his department and asked me to watch every thing that they are going to be doing.

I stood and watched, i made sure i followed them wherever they go too and i pen down every single process that they took in achieving their goals.

As i was writing, a man walked up to me.

Who are you young man?

"Good Afternoon Sir" I am Sam and i am with Mr. Fred.

He turned and called Mr. Fred.

"Sir!"

"Who is this?"

"Sorry sir, he is my friends son who came to learn my business, the one i told you about that will be joining us today sir"

"Oh, is that right?"

"Yes, sir"

"Oh, sorry young man, you are welcome and i can see you are really a nice young man who is willing to make wealth, seeing you write things down made me remember my early years in this business."

My father brought and introduced me to all his workers as his son, and he started teaching me every process about the business and i made sure i wrote every single word he said down and today after 25 years of being the CEO of the company.

This is what it looks like and i believe if you will remain diligent and consistent, you will surely become better than this.

Thank you very much sir, i truly appreciate your kind words of encouragement.

"You are welcome"

He left and i asked Mr. Fred whether that was his boss and he nod his head in agreement.

I was shocked to see a young man in his early 40's being the owner of this big shipping company.

I swore from that day that i will be loyal and make sure that i learn everything about the business and start up my own to become a billionaire one day.

Mr. Fred left and continued his work.

I continued following him and writing down every single process i saw them use.

It was late that night when the closed from work official and Mr. Fred took me to a nearby restaurant to eat.

After eating i went back to the room were he said i will be staying and he went into their staff lounge which was in a different corner from mine.

I lied down and was just smiling to the roof and i slept off.
