Chapter 558: It's Too Late to Regret
"Which celebrity did this brother learn from? You can get closer to it in the future! Between eating and drinking, a scribe in his thirties asked with a smile.
"A certain non-scribe, but a merchant!" The merchant surnamed Qi said with a little embarrassment and a blush.
A circle of people stopped in surprise, and one of them nodded and said: "It turned out to be a businessman, it's rare that you also have this heart, but I see that you are also fluent in writing, and I think you have read a lot of books!" ”
Seeing that a few people did not look down on themselves, and the merchant surnamed Qi did not hide it, he said the purpose of his coming, and suddenly made the scribe who began to pull him to help blush, and after a while, he whispered: "I heard that this advertisement was put forward by the Marquis of Qinghe, as long as he is willing to help transport these clothes to the merchants in the two counties of Qidong, he can publish the name, address and business items of the merchants in the newspaper at that time......"
Bang~
Before the scribe could finish explaining, the merchant surnamed Qi dropped the steamed bun and ran to the newspaper hall.
In just a few words, he heard the mystery.
The most important thing as a businessman is fame.
With fame, it is smooth sailing to do anything, and it is difficult for the unknown to do anything.
If you can publish your name in the newspaper, and also indicate the address and the goods you are selling, as the newspaper spreads all over the world, won't you soon become famous all over the world, so that no matter what business you do in the future, people will flock to your door.
The newspaper hall was also overcrowded, with horse-drawn carts carrying paper and newspapers coming in and out.
In the general affairs room of the newspaper, Chen Ping and Fu An and other editors-in-chief took steamed buns and ate pickles and porridge while eating with big eyes and sighed.
The new issue of the newspaper has been distributed in advance, and the newspaper office and the printing house outside the city are still rushing to produce and print, enough to print tens of thousands of copies a day, and now it is close to noon, and the newspaper has been sold out of nearly 20,000 copies, but there is not a single businessman willing to help.
This was a big surprise to everyone.
"Shangjia is really a group of snobs who see money and deserve discrimination!" One of them bit the steamed bun and said fiercely.
"That is, businessmen are all people who forget their righteousness for profit, and the ancients did not deceive me!" The other also stirred the porridge with a spoon and muttered.
A middle-aged man with a nameplate of the logistics manager hurriedly walked in, handed an account book to Chen Ping and said: "Secretary Chen, the donation statistics in the morning have come out, a total of more than 27,000 pieces of donated clothes have been obtained, and the warehouse is almost overwhelmed, so we need to find a car and ship as soon as possible to start transporting to the disaster area!" ”
"What? So much? Chen Ping shook his hand and the account book almost fell into the porridge.
Fu An and Ji Tong and other editors-in-chief next to him also looked dull, no one expected that the people of Xianyang would be so enthusiastic about donations.
"Not only that, but the people donating outside are flowing like a stream at the moment, and with the continued sale of newspapers and the spread of news, it is estimated that the number of donations will exceed 50,000 a day by the evening......," said the steward in charge of counting the number of donations, with a wry smile.
"No, no, Brother Chen hurriedly thought of a way, these clothes are cloth and can't be drenched, if it rains in the open air, it will be troublesome!" Fu An couldn't eat the anxious steamed buns, so he stood up and walked around the room.
"For today's plan, I can only go to Hou Ye, only he can think of a way, I am just a Lang position, and I have no power and no power!"
"Yes, Brother Chen Ping, you hurry up and personally go to the Hou Ye's Mansion to make the details clear, I'm afraid the donations in the next few days will not be a small amount, and they must be transported to the disaster area as soon as possible, otherwise the people's kindness will be wasted in the end!"
Ji Tong, Pang Que and the others couldn't eat, so they urged Chen Ping to hurry up and find Chen Xu.
"What you said is right, Ping, go to Master Hou!" Chen Ping stood up, dropped the steamed bun and left.
At this time, a tall and thin man finally hurried to the outside of the general affairs room after asking a circle of people in the newspaper office, and just happened to collide with Chen Ping, who was about to go out.
"What's the matter with you?" Chen Ping asked with an unhappy face.
At this time, the newspaper was busy, and there were still idlers running around, which suddenly made him look very bad.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was wearing a Lang official uniform, but with the badge of the general affairs secretary of the Daqin Metropolis Daily on his chest, the thin and tall man hurriedly apologized, and after a little hesitation, he said: "I heard that the newspaper is going to ask a businessman to help transport clothes to the Qidong disaster area, so and so, it is ......."
"You're a merchant who came to help?" Chen Ping was overjoyed.
"Yes, Qi wants to ......"
"Don't think about it, come in with me!" Chen Ping's back molars were exposed when he smiled, grabbed the hand of the man surnamed Qi, turned around and walked into the general affairs room, and said with a happy smile, "Haha, everyone, when the time comes, there are fish...... There are righteous businessmen who come to the door, and there is a solution to the matter of transporting clothes! ”
With a hula, seven or eight people in the room gathered around the businessman surnamed Qi in the middle.
"How many merchant ships do you have?"
"How much can be shipped at one time?"
"How long will it arrive?"
Under the persecution, the businessman surnamed Qi felt like he had fallen into a wolf's den, and answered several questions tremblingly, and the room suddenly burst into joy, and the logistics manager directly took the hand of the businessman surnamed Qi and said: "Come with me, and immediately arrange for someone to load the ship and set off!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, a certain is from Qi County, I am very grateful to the newspaper for the righteous deeds done by the elders of a certain hometown, there is no problem with helping, I just want to know the ...... of that advertisement."
"Rest assured, the advertisement will naturally satisfy you, and when you return, I will ask Hou Ye to do a few issues of advertising for you for free from time to time, and will also write your righteous deeds into articles and publish them in the newspaper......" Chen Ping waved his hand happily.
"Okay, since the adults said so, the matter of transporting clothes this time is wrapped up in Qi!" The man surnamed Qi, as a businessman with a good vision, is naturally not an indecisive person, so he directly patted his chest and took care of the delivery of all the clothes.
"I'm afraid it's not enough for you to have eight boats, this matter is urgent ......"
"Rest assured, a perennial merchant travels along the river, knows a lot of companions, it is not difficult to collect twenty boats, and it will be shipped in a few days, and it will be possible to reach the second county of Qidong in three or four days at most!" The man surnamed Qi said with a little smugness.
"Well, this time the delivery of donated clothes will be handed over to you, be careful not to overturn and lose on the way, and when all the transportation is completed, I will definitely ask Hou Ye to publish an advertisement in the newspaper for you, by the way, take the contract!" As soon as Chen Ping stretched out his hand, a scribe hurriedly handed over a few pieces of hemp pulp paper.
This is a printed standard contract, the format and content are not much different from the later contracts, there is a blank space for both parties A and B who signed the contract, and the following is divided into several articles to list the content of the transported goods.
Chen Ping signed his name on behalf of the newspaper, and the man surnamed Qi read it hastily, and quickly signed his name and time.
The contract is no stranger in Daqin now, it is a kind of cooperation clause that slowly circulates from the business community in Nanyang, in fact, there have been similar things to this kind of contract before, such as IOUs, such as IOUs, etc., but it is not as standardized as the current contract, plus with hemp pulp paper, it is extremely convenient to write, so signing a contract has almost become a very common means of cooperation between businessmen.
After the contract was signed, it was in triplicate, one for Chen Ping, one for the man surnamed Qi, and one for the logistics department for storage.
Sending the man surnamed Qi away, Chen Ping and a group of people in the newspaper finally let out a long breath, and the atmosphere in the general affairs room instantly became cheerful.
Soon, more than 20,000 pieces of clothing piled up in the newspaper warehouse began to be transported to the wharf outside the south gate of the city, and a large number of Xianyang people continued to take old clothes to the newspaper street to donate.
On the Weihe River in the south of the city, on the most prosperous cargo wharf in Xianyang City, under the reprimand of a group of soldiers, hundreds of cargo ships docked or were docking began to disperse, giving way to three of the ferries.
"Get on board, hurry up and load the ship!" Under the control of the shipwright, three flat-bottomed cargo ships about ten zhang long and three zhang wide slowly docked, throwing cables and reaching wooden ladders, and soon the helpers who had been carrying goods by the dock all the year round swarmed up, and under the command of the shipwrights, the clothes that had been piled up on the shore were loaded onto the cargo ships.
With the sound of the trumpet, the dock, which was usually a little silent, suddenly became noisy.
"Brother Qi, I'm afraid you'll lose all your money this time!" Standing beside the merchant surnamed Qi, another slightly fat man said in confusion with a clump of short beards on his chin.
"Hehe, Brother Pang rest assured, if you rent five boats, the ship will not be less than a penny!" The businessman surnamed Qi said with a smile.
"I can rest assured that your real estate wife and children are all in Xianyang, and you and I have signed a contract, but I am worried that this transaction without the slightest income will make you bankrupt, a boat rental costs 3,000 yuan, you have rented a total of 12 big ships such as me, which is nearly 40,000 yuan, and there are boatmen and helpers on the way to eat, drink and Lazar, the rest of this trip, Brother Qi has to pay at least 60,000 yuan, which does not include the damage and repair costs caused by capsizing and capsizing, if a boat is completely damaged, the loss is at least 20,000 yuan, Although Brother Qi has a good net worth, Brother Qi and my fleet are about the same size, and the income that ends up in his hands is only 350,000 yuan after a year of hard work, and he can add a boat without eating or drinking for a year, so don't look at me and wait for Xianyang to live a glamorous life, but if I encounter a disaster on the way to freight, I will be destitute in an instant, so I still remind Brother Qi not to be impulsive, and it is ......too late to regret it now."
