Chapter Thirty-Six: The Ship
Broker.
A job that confuses the Jin family's uncles and nephews.
But with the little man's explanation, Jin Qiwu's confused eyes gradually bloomed, this was simply a life for him. He's full of energy right now, and he's eager to try it right away.
To put it simply, a broker is to introduce people to buy and sell and earn commissions from them.
Jin Qiwu heard Wanzhi's ambition, but he forgot the most important point. With such a large market as the wharf, brokers are indispensable, and he is afraid that he will offend many people if he inserts it rashly.
Not to mention, as a novice, he has no resources at all.
Seeing Jin Qiwu's excitement, he couldn't wait to move immediately.
The little man smiled heartily: "Uncle, don't worry, although the broker is a free man, he also has to register at the dock." ”
"I don't know where to register?" Jin Qiwu opened his mouth and asked.
"It's easy to register, but you need a surety shipper." As soon as the little man's words fell, the light in his eyes had already appeared. "There are countless large and small merchant ships on the dock, and which one stands behind this can represent whether you will be smooth in the future."
Looked at by the joking eyes, Jin Qiwu was shocked and immediately came to his senses.
He rubbed his hands together and stammered uneasily: "Then, I don't know if you can guarantee it, little brother?" Need...... What do you need? ”
The burly man next to him seemed to be familiar with it, and he was about to raise his hand to signal something, but was pulled down by the person next to him.
The little man's face changed instantly, and he smiled kindly: "What's the need, it's Master Wei's friend, it's all my own family." ”
He didn't talk nonsense, and stepped forward to lead the way: "Let's go, I just have time now, I'll take you to register." ”
When Jin Qiwu heard this, he didn't immediately follow, he turned his head and looked at his nephew.
Both of them woke up to the fact that the little man was so enthusiastic about his feelings, and there were still conditions in the end.
That's right, it's not a willing foil, but I want to give Master Wei a favor.
If it is a real condition, the uncle and nephew can still make a decision, but in the end, it is still Master Wei.
The two were in a dilemma for a while, and they couldn't make up their minds.
Jin Yun didn't think much about it, the little man moved forward, and she followed suit.
Just moving forward at the same time, leaving a word.
"You think the old man just asked you to deliver something inconspicuous?"
The sister-in-law's unkind words made the corners of Yongxin's mouth twitch, if it wasn't for the fact that the current situation was not suitable, he really wanted to defend himself.
Don't look at Master Wei's unshaven beard, he is still in the prime of life, so he knows that he will become an old man in the mouth of his sister-in-law.
But the sister-in-law's words also reminded him that more than ten taels of medium-sized refined iron were very precious in their eyes, but they were not worthy of such a magnificent Kong family shipworn.
Although he didn't know the relationship between Master Wei and Kong Jiachuan, looking at the little man, Yongxin probably understood that Master Wei was not a simple person.
It is precisely because of this that Yongxin is even more grateful.
The reason why Master Wei asked him to come was probably for him.
He didn't hesitate when he figured it out, and took his second uncle to follow.
It was not very far to go to the place where they were registered, but the little man walked slowly, and on the way he slowly introduced them to some of the situation of the pier.
There are three major families at the dock, which are divided into three forces.
Among them, the one who monopolizes the turtle head is the Confucian family.
The Kong family shipbuilders occupy the wharf and are quite rich in resources, and the broker who Jin Qiwu wants to make a living can be hung in the name of the Kong family's ship, which is also a place that many people want to grab.
However, after all, the bottom is over, and the future is broad, it still depends on whether Jin Qiwu can grasp it.
The little man was arrogant, but he still explained carefully: "Look at the coast over there, that's where you will often stay in the future, don't look at the small place, there is a lot of knowledge in it." Ship dealers who pass through this area and want to buy some goods are looking for brokers here. ”
"Although the commission is small, it adds up to a lot, if you encounter a large order, the top family a year's meal money. However, it's easy to say it's simple, it's not easy to say it's not easy, it's not easy to mix well, eat meat and drink a lot, and live a life that is no worse than those rich people. But more of them are hungry. After all, it still depends on its own ability. ”
The little man sighed, and when he saw some brokers with large sums of money in his pockets, he was not without blushing.
But look at more of those people, think about yourself is still much better, at least stable dìng, can also support the family.
"Brother Li." The little man led a few people to a large tent, lifted the curtain and shouted.
Brother Li looked up, his impatient face was full of smiles, and he said, "Big ears, what east wind has blown you here." ”
"Brother Li, don't scold me, I came this time to ask you for a favor." The little man didn't come to be vain, and said bluntly: "This is my distant elder, if you want to come and have a meal, you can raise your noble hand and give it a convenience." ”
Brother Li smiled lightly, so he was embarrassed: "But put it under the door of the Kong family's boat?" Without a steward guarantee, my brother is not in charge. ”
"Brother Li, you must help with this, my relatives' family is also too bitter, otherwise I wouldn't have lowered my head and begged you." The sincerity of the big ears moved the two uncles and nephews, and they completely forgot about their previous unhappiness.
Jin Yun listened to a few words that the two of them were pulling indiscriminately, and felt bored, so she walked out with the fat rabbit in her arms without alarming a few people in the tent.
With no goal in mind, she wandered along the edge of the embankment.
In the distance, the water and the sky meet, the blue sky is thousands of miles, and the water and the sky are the same color. Jin Yun couldn't help but feel a little moved, she didn't seem to have been on a boat for more than ten years.
Perhaps it just so happened that there was a small boat just under the embankment, and it was around the corner, so people who were in a hurry would not pay attention to it.
For the first time in so many years, Jin Yun acted on her own heart, instead of thinking about it before deciding.
She walked slowly to the left and under the embankment, the shore was slippery, and every step had to be very cautious, for fear of falling and slipping if she was not careful.
Coming to the bottom of the embankment, Jin Yun frowned slightly, she was not far from the ship now, but she had to pass through two reefs before she could board the boat. The reef is sharp, and you can't keep your balance just by jumping over it on your feet.
She looked at the fat rabbit in her arms, and the rabbit's ears twitched twice, and she also looked up at her. After glancing at the little red eyes, he lay on Jin Yun's arm again, completely without the intention of struggling, and looked very leisurely.
Don't think about it at all, let her let go of the rabbit and cling to it with her hands, it won't be possible at all!
This is her mouth, you must know that after she came to this world, she has never eaten a mouthful of meat.
Jin Yun walked back and forth left and right for a few steps, looked at it carefully, and finally found that there was still a place for feet on the two reefs, if the place was not big, it could only accommodate half a foot, but this was enough.
She held her breath, kicked her right foot, stood firmly on the tip of her left foot, and without much thought, stepped over the reef with her right foot, and her clothes flew in the air, successfully stepping over one.
It's just two small reefs, how could it make her retreat, Jin Yungou looked arrogant, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up with an undetectable arc.
But in the next second, the curvature of the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, is she in a hurry to go back now?
