Chapter 152: Farewell Wangjiang Tower
Lei Shaoxuan is about to enter Beijing and study in Guozijian.
As a student of Taixue, I need to listen to lectures and learn, and the original plan to do things together will come to naught.
If you can't follow Lei Shaoxuan, the brothers can only go their separate ways.
Seeing that the future is bleak, I deeply feel how difficult the world is, and I can't help but feel sad and hesitant.
"I used to have a few subordinates who were already in the high-level of the Cao Gang, and I was afraid that I would return to the gang to take their position, so they set up a branch in Beichuan and let me walk the Beichuan business to collect goods for the gang, which is considered a dental broker. Cao Aoran was depressed and said, "This move is nothing more than leaving me to fend for myself!"
The Cao Gang's move was extremely unkind and extremely unfair to Cao Aoran, after all, he was imprisoned for the Cao Gang, but the Hui Cao Gang was expelled.
However, time has passed, things are not people, and there is no one to help him in the Cao Gang.
"How does the Cao Gang business work?" Lei Shaoxuan asked curiously.
"As the name suggests, the Cao Gang is the gang of Cao Yun. There are two main sources of business, one is the transportation of official goods such as grain and grass relief by the government, and the other is the freight of goods by merchants. Cao Aoran explained, "The Cao Gang buys cargo ships, recruits crews, loads and unloads cargo and water transportation. ”
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Cao Aoran and asked suspiciously: "It seems that the Cao Gang is powerful, can it monopolize freight transportation and make huge profits?"
Cao Aoran smiled bitterly and said: "There are many Caoyun gangs, and the Cao Gang and the Pai Gang are just the two biggest, and they can't monopolize freight. The two gangs competed to lower the price for the red card of the government's freight, and even fought to the death, and the official goods did not have much profit, only enough to maintain the life of the gang. ”
"What about the business? The canal is connected to the world, the coastal trade is prosperous, the freight is developed, and there are always huge profits, right?" Thinking of the big ship of the Tonghe business in those years, Lei Shaoxuan was deeply impressed, and the big profit of the ship should not be thin.
The canal waterway is developed, connected with the rivers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the water network is all over the Northern Wei Dynasty, the south can reach South Vietnam, the east can reach the East Qi, and can almost pass through the world.
Cao Aoran sighed, shook his head and said: "Big businesses don't need to be helped to prepare ships for self-transport, and small businesses have less than one ship, and they often need to wait for other businesses to get together enough to let the big ships set off." ”
Cao Aoran continued: "The business employs bodyguards and men, who consume a lot of money every day, and are often unwilling to wait, in order to keep them, the Cao Gang can only lower the price of freight. As a broker now, I am the correspondent firm, collecting goods and coordinating dates, so that the small businesses can get together and get on the road together. The big ship waits at a loss. ”
Lei Shaoxuan was puzzled and said: "There is less than a big boat that can't go on the road, why don't you use a small boat?
Looking at Lei Shaoxuan, Ling Jun smiled a little bitterly, Xiaoliu is good at everything, but he lacks experience.
"When the goods are disembarked, they still have to go over the mountains and mountains to various places. Bandits are rampant, and the goods are still robbed from time to time when they are escorted by the dart bureau, and at least one of the ten darts are robbed, and it is difficult to move an inch without a bodyguard. Ling Jun said with a gloomy expression: "Little Liu, I also want to find a dart bureau to be a dart master." ”
The dart board has never accepted strangers, and someone must guarantee it to be a dart master.
Ling Jun was not familiar with the place in Beichuan, and it was not easy to find a company that was willing to accept his own dart game, and it was even more difficult to return to his hometown, after all, he had offended the local government.
There are not many belongings on his body, and in the past few days in Beichuan, Ling Jun has begun to inquire to see where there are suitable stones and strong pills for sale, and are ready to perform street performances to break big stones and sell strong pills.
Cao Aoran continued: "The small boat space is small, the loading is limited, the food and accommodation are inconvenient, and it is impossible to travel far, and the goods of small merchants are often sold far away. In short, the Cao Gang is actually just a gang of coolies, and there is no profit to talk about. ”
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that as long as there are ships and coolies, how can there be much profit from anything that anyone can do?
"So as long as there are ships and people, the freight doesn't need to go through the Cao Gang?" Lei Shaoxuan became excited and asked in high spirits.
"Naturally, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers. The river is the king of the land, which is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, how can it be monopolized by the Cao Gang?"
While we were talking, I suddenly heard an exclamation of "Ahhh
Looking up, Dongxue was hurt by Luo Hao's upper and lower hands, and she was glaring at Luo Hao angrily, her expression was angry, and she was cute.
Seeing a few people looking at him, Luo Hao couldn't help but be a little panicked, and said, "What didn't I do?"
Lei Shaoxuan was angry and spit out a word: "Fight!"
Yelu Qingshi slapped Luo Hao on the back of the head and said, "It's time to beat, you should go back to the grassland with me to raise a mare!"
Seeing Chunhua and Xia He snuggling up to Shen Xiaobao serving wine and feeding vegetables, they were so chic that they were suddenly angry.
"Why don't you care about the third child, hug me left and right, and take care of me?" Luo Hao said angrily.
provoked Qiu Yue's eyes for a while, and said in a glutinous voice: "Because people are suave and gentle." ”
Lei Shaoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Qiuyue is right, we also want to be suave, but not gentle." ”
With a flash of thought, like a trick, pieces of gold flashed out of his hands, like throwing rags, into the gap of the table full of dishes, and soon filled the table, shining with golden light.
Shen Xiaobao didn't swallow in one breath, the wine was blocked in his throat and coughed non-stop; Yelu Qingshi raised his hand in the air, his eyes froze; Cao Aoran sat crookedly, fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up; Ling Jun looked straight and could stuff an egg in his mouth; Li Hui remained silent.
Luo Hao pointed at Lei Shaoxuan and stammered, "Little ...... 6. How many businesses have you robbed?"
Simei's eyes widened, and her eyes suddenly fell.
Lei Shaoxuan laughed angrily and said disdainfully: "Get out." ”
"This gold buys ships, big ships. Lei Shaoxuan took a deep breath and calmed down.
"The second one, buy a piece of land in Beichuan and use it as a fixed cargo station; the ship sails at a fixed time and walks the wharves along the way; let the firm deliver and ship the goods without waiting for the goods, and arrive at the fixed wharf on time; after unloading the goods, let the firm pick it up, and the merchant does not have to send someone to escort it with the ship. ”
"Huh?" Cao Aoran said in surprise: "What if the goods are damaged and lost and robbed if they are not escorted with the ship?"
"Compensation! When loading, another wooden box is prepared, the two sides verify the packaging, and after arriving at the destination, the box is inspected, and we will compensate for all damages, except for the weather or government seizure! ”
Cao Aoran's eyes lit up, and he said: "Deliver goods at a fixed time, no need to wait; arrive within a limited time, no need to escort them! Small businesses must not rob like crazy? Cao Gang must not go bankrupt? Who will find a ship that can only be sent by a boat? If we arrive within a limited time, it is estimated that big businesses will also look for us to transport goods." How can a few boats be enough? A hundred boats are not enough!"
"Hmph! We can compensate for the damage on the road, and we can also compensate for theft and robbery, but we must not compensate for death?" Ling Jun poured a basin of cold water and said: "Most of the goods are ten catastrophes, is the freight of ten cargo ships enough to compensate for one shipload of goods?"
Cao Aoran was stunned for a moment, sat down dejectedly, and didn't know what kind of goods were robbed, how could he compensate?
"Theft and robbery can be compensated for damage, and business is still prosperous!" Cao Aoran said proudly.
"If you don't let the escort with you, how can you determine the loss? Is it theft or intentional self-theft?" Ling Jun sneered.
Lei Shaoxuan looked straight at Ling Jun, looked up and down, and saw that Ling Jun was inexplicable, and his heart was empty.
"Little Liu, don't look at me like this, I'm panicking! ”
"Stupid!" Lei Shaoxuan sneered: "To say that you are stupid is to lift, it should be said that you are too stupid!"
"Compensation will be paid naturally!" Lei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "The second child is only in charge of transporting goods, and you are in charge of losing money!"
"In order for the goods to be exempt from the theft and robbery compensation, an additional one-tenth of the value of the goods must be paid as a premium. Lei Shaoxuan said leisurely: "Even if one of the ten pieces is lost, and one of the ten boats is lost, we will have enough money." Since the itinerary is fixed, on a fixed route, send people to collect intelligence, squat, buy or guard, and strangle the wicked. ”
"One less loss is a boat, and this boat is pure profit, what business can compare?" Lei Shaoxuan looked at Ling Jun and sneered: "A shipload of goods, you can earn it back in how many years can you earn it back?"
Lei Shaoxuan had already known about Ling Jun's grand plan to break the big stone on the street and sneered.
Suddenly, the fragrant wind was faint and came to his nose, and Shen Xiaobao was already hugging the two beauties closely.
"Little Liu, this is a wonderful idea! The freight and guard charges should be separated and run independently, and the guards can also be protected separately for other businesses. Guarding a specific route is much more efficient than hiring a dart board for each firm. Ten people can escort a shipload of goods, and 1,000 people can divide labor to collect intelligence, guard, and clear to ensure the safety of a road, not to mention 100 or 1,000 boats? ”
The more Shen Xiaobao spoke, the more excited he became, his spit flew wildly, and Lei Shaoxuan frowned.
"Since there is a ship and the itinerary is fixed, cargo stations can be set up in various places to receive small items and send them to various places for door-to-door delivery. The more Shen Xiaobao spoke, the more excited he became.
"Officials are appointed everywhere, businessmen walk everywhere, and send letters and gifts to express their thoughts during the New Year's holidays, all of which can be through us. The former is responsible for the payment of cargo guards and can be called a guarantee bank, while the latter sends goods and can be called a popular cargo. Shen Xiaobao squirted saliva.
"Get away!" Lei Shaoxuan pointed at Shen Xiaobao and scolded: "Spit flies around, and I'm not afraid of sudden beauties, disgusting or disgusting!" made Spring Flower, Summer Lotus, Autumn Moon, and Winter Snow giggle.
"Little Liu, we have nothing, the capital is yours, the idea is also what you come up with, you are the owner, we will work for you, you choose a name, set the rules, how do we abide by it?" Ling Jun looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said excitedly.
Without street performing, Ling Jun was naturally excited.
"Water transport is called distant shipping. The goods are popular called Ruyi goods flow, the mother of Ruyi has a great kindness to me, take the name of Ruyi to commemorate, and at the same time let me send goods popularly, it must be satisfactory. Baoxing takes the name of Tonghe, let's form righteous brothers, we must work together to make money in harmony. ”
Lei Shaoxuan glanced at everyone and said, "As for working for me, that's not necessary." Each of you has a stake in it, and you participate in it. ”
"So we got rich, Xiaoliu is really interesting...... Luo Hao said excitedly.
Suddenly, he found that everyone was looking sideways, and he woke up and said, "What are you doing with me? It was given to me by Xiao Liu himself, right, Xiao Liu?"
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Luo Hao with a smile, Luo Hao trembled, and shouted: "Hit me, don't slap your face!"
Everyone laughed, but Shen Xiaobao said: "No merit is not rewarded." It is not easy for Xiaoliu to take us in, and we will not accept such a huge amount of money. ”
"You think you give shares for nothing? Lei Shaoxuan pursed his lips and snorted, "You look so ugly, don't think about being too beautiful!"
Lei Shaoxuan continued: "If you participate in the operation, each person can get 5% of the shares, which will be given in five years. Set a goal every year, and only by completing the goal can you get 1% of the shares. ”
Shen Xiaobao clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful! Xiaoliu should keep more shares, and the operation needs to dredge up and down the relationship, and give some real power checkpoints and other shares to ......."
"Don't give it!" Lei Shaoxuan shook his head and said, "Don't give anyone shares." ”
"Xiaoliu, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to not give it to some passes! Especially Caoyun, layers of checkpoints, layers of inspections, it's annoying......"
