Chapter 326. Unexpected associations (I).

……

……

Seeing Chen Zhirong pull away Su Xiuning and Cui Qianxue's two daughters, Zhao Junchen sighed softly without attracting attention.

In fact, Zhao Junchen doesn't like Chen Zhirong, because Zhao Junchen feels that Chen Zhirong is too scheming, too poisonous, and a little distorted in his thinking, but Chen Zhirong's attitude and hints towards Zhao Junchen are always understood and understood at one point, on the contrary, Zhao Junchen's thoughts and thoughts about Chen Zhirong are always insightful and tacit, so when the two are together, they actually have some tacit understanding.

As mentioned above, Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong are essentially the same kind of people, and their eyes on problems and thinking about things are somewhat similar, so it is not surprising that the two have such a tacit understanding.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Junchen sighed softly.

This means that, in a certain way, Zhao Junchen has a self-loathing mentality.

However, for Zhao Junchen, this kind of psychology is just a trivial matter, and sighing softly is only a matter of a moment, and soon Zhao Junchen has already restrained his thoughts, and his face has changed to a smile again, and he looked up to Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin and invited: "Have you two had lunch?" If you haven't eaten yet, it's fate to meet today, so why not join us? ”

While C was talking, Zhao Junchen had already called the shopkeeper and ordered a few more dishes.

After being invited, Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin didn't dare to refute Zhao Junchen's face, and said "I haven't eaten yet", and after a few polite sentences, they both sat next to Zhao Junchen and ate at the same table with Zhao Junchen, and Wu Rongde was also with him.

That's it. Zhao Junchen chatted with the three of them while eating, just talking about idle things. The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

During this period, Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin saw that Zhao Junchen really had no intention of pursuing it. I gradually relaxed a lot.

At this moment, Zhao Junchen changed his words and talked about the current situation of "Rongfa Ship".

"Boss Wu, I've heard that the recent situation of your 'Rongfa Ship' is not very good?"

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Wu Youzhen was a little vigilant out of businessman instinct, but the recent situation of "Rongfa Commercial Bank" was not a secret, so he hesitated for a while. Still telling the truth, sighed: "I" Rongfa Commercial Bank "rooted in Xuzhou, since the Xuzhou River gradually depressed, I" Rongfa Commercial Bank "has been getting worse and worse, in recent years it has only barely maintained no loss, there is no profit at all, but it is laborious and very fortunate." I really don't hide it from Lord Zhao, if it weren't for the fact that there are still nearly 500 boatmen and porters in Xuzhou who are attached to the 'Rongfa Boat Company' to make a living, if I 'Rongfa Boat Company' falls. They and their wives and daughters have lost their livelihoods, and I am afraid that they have long since given up on the 'Rongfa Boat Company' and turned to other businesses. ”

Zhao Junchen just showed a hint of admiration, and said: "It turns out that Boss Wu is thinking so much about the boatmen and porters under him, it is really a bodhisattva's heart. Zhao admired...... In addition, Xuzhou is now in a depression, and Boss Wu is able to maintain the 'Rongfa Shipping Company' without losing money. This kind of business method is far beyond others, come. I toast Boss Wu with a cup. ”

Wu Youzhen hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank with Zhao Junchen, and saw that Zhao Junchen was polite to him. The vigilance in my heart has dissipated a lot, and I sighed: "Actually, I am not a bodhisattva, it is really difficult to ride a tiger, those boatmen and porters in my boat line have been working in the 'Rongfa Boat Company' since their grandfathers, and they are also loyal to the boat line, if I abandon them like this, they are afraid that they will make trouble with my Wu family!" ”

Zhao Junchen asked curiously: "Since the opening of the Lu Canal, Xuzhou's position in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has been replaced by Zaozhuang, in this case, why doesn't Boss Wu transfer the 'Rongfa Boat Company' to Zaozhuang?" There are a lot of opportunities there, and maybe we can turn things around. ”

Wu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "It's hard to leave my homeland, my 'Rongfa Boat Company' is already rooted in Xuzhou, all the industries of my Wu family are in Xuzhou, and most of the boatmen and porters in the boat line are from Xuzhou. What's more, no one in the DPRK is difficult to make money, and I don't have an official door in Zaozhuang, so I'm afraid that I can't compete with other shipping companies, and I will lose my business in Xuzhou at that time, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Youzhen's face was full of sadness, and Cao Wenbin on the side also sighed, but Wu Rongde didn't see any change in his expression, but just pouted lightly.

Obviously, Wu Youzhen is just a conservative person, although the business means are good, but he does not have the ambition and courage to develop.

On the contrary, Wu Rongde, who was on the side, seemed to have a different point of view.

So, Zhao Junchen turned to Wu Rongde and asked, "Does Wu Gongzi have the same opinion as Ling Zun?" ”

Wu Rongde was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Junchen to ask his opinion.

Originally, Wu Rongde didn't want to answer seriously, but after glancing at his father Wu Youzhen, he changed his attention and said slowly: "According to the grass people's ideas, whether it is to give up the shipping business and turn to other businesses, or to move the shipping business to Zaozhuang, it is a feasible strategy. But in any case, we can't drag it out half-dead like now, we must ask for change, and if we don't change, we can only wait for the closure of the day......"

This statement already meant to accuse his father, which naturally caused Wu Youzhen to look at him angrily.

However, although Wu Youzhen looked annoyed about Wu Rongde's statement, he was not surprised, obviously their father and son had already discussed this issue.

After glancing at Wu Youzhen again, Wu Rongde's expression remained unchanged, but he continued: "In the eyes of the grass people, 'Rongfa Commercial Bank' is still the second best not to make money now, but the biggest taboo in doing business is a pool of stagnant water and letting everyone be idle!" In this way, the people in charge of the affairs above will lose their enterprising spirit, and the people who do the work below will also breed inertia, and at that time, they will be terminally ill and have no cure. Today's 'Rongfa Shipping Company' is like this, every year's business is just a little bit, most people are idle, and gradually get used to it, that is, they don't want to forge ahead, and they don't want to change, a lot of manpower and silver are wasted, if these wasted manpower and silver are used in other aspects, whether it is to transfer to other industries, or to move the ship to Zaozhuang. I'm afraid it's already working......"

Speaking of this, Wu Rongde shook his head again and again. A look of regret.

When he was in Yuerong Fang, Zhao Junchen found out. Although this Wu Rongde has a bit of a squishy temperament, he has a clear mind and logical thinking, and he is not a general.

Now, after listening to Wu Rongde's thoughts, a trace of appreciation flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

In fact, although Wu Youzhen's idea of keeping success is a bit conservative, it is not wrong, because the word "change" is simple to say, but it is difficult to do. A slight carelessness will cause a series of chain effects, so Wu Youzhen's prudence should also be.

Although Wu Rongde's enterprising idea of change is admirable, it is not completely correct, because this world is very cruel, and the truth of "pay and you will gain" is very much just comforting, and Wu Rongde obviously does not understand this, only considering success, but not failure.

But in any case, Wu Rongde can say such an opinion. Even if there are some suspicions of "high eyes and low hands", it is enough to make Zhao Junchen look at him differently again.

On the side, after Wu Youzhen glared at Wu Rongde angrily, he smiled bitterly at Zhao Junchen: "Dogs don't go through the world. There was always some assumption when he spoke, which made Lord Zhao smile. There are many things in this world that are easy to say, but when you actually do them, you need to consider all kinds of changes. However, the dog always does not understand this, alas......"

Zhao Junchen smiled: "No matter what. Wu Gongzi can say such an opinion, which is enough to be impressive. It is enough to show that he has the heart to do things, and he is not a loser, if Boss Wu thinks that Wu Gongzi is a bit of a paper talk, he can let him do some practical things, young people can't grow up without doing things, and they won't mature without setbacks, so they naturally can't understand Boss Wu's considerations. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Wu Youzhen's expression also moved slightly.

And just when Wu Youzhen was seriously considering, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "However, if the 'Rongfa Boat Company' is interested in developing in Zaozhuang, I can help, Zaozhuang is the jurisdiction of Shandong, and the new Shandong political envoy Li Lide Li is close to me, if Boss Wu wants to move the 'Rongfa Boat Company' to Zaozhuang, I can write a letter of introduction to Lord Li Lide, so that he can take care of you." ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, whether it was Wu Youzhen, Wu Rongde's father and son, or Cao Wenbin on the side, their faces changed.

Obviously, Zhao Junchen wanted to buy the "Rongfa Shipping Company" for his own use.

Although the father and son of the Wu family didn't understand why Zhao Junchen would fall in love with the little "Rongfa Boat Company", they were shocked, but they didn't dare to agree lightly.

Without him, "Rongfa Boat Line" now has a backer, and this backer is Cao Wenbin, the Nanjing household servant sitting next to him!

Although Cao Wenbin is far less powerful than Zhao Junchen and can not provide much help, because they are related to each other, although this backer is not big, it is at least reassuring. And although Zhao Junchen's backer is strong, his intentions are unpredictable, which makes people feel uneasy!

Also, if "Rongfa Ship" abandons Cao Wenbin and takes refuge in Zhao Junchen, where will Cao Wenbin's face go? Wouldn't you be ridiculed by your colleagues? In this way, wouldn't Cao Wenbin break with "Rongfa Boat Company"? And "Rongfa Ship" is so twilight, won't its reputation also be ruined?

In addition, "Rongfa Ship" has a close relationship with Cao Wenbin, if "Rongfa Ship" defects to Zhao Junchen, people misunderstand that Cao Wenbin also takes refuge in Zhao Junchen, then how will Cao Wenbin's top boss, Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Tang Zhen, deal with Cao Wenbin? From now on, won't Cao Wenbin be struggling in the officialdom?

These situations need to be carefully considered.

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Junchen's "kind reminder", Wu Youzhen was silent, and after Wu Rongde hesitated for a moment, perhaps thinking of Chen Zhirong's matter, he didn't speak.

As for Cao Wenbin, the servant of Nanjing's household department, he was already looking at Zhao Junchen with a deep face - digging a corner in front of him, Cao Wenbin only felt that Zhao Junchen was a little too deceitful.

Don't you know that Zhao Junchen not only wants to buy "Rongfa Commercial Bank", but also wants to take Cao Wenbin as his subordinate!

If there is Cao Wenbin's refuge, then Zhao Junchen will be much easier to deal with Tang Zhen, the head of the household department in Nanjing!
