The man surnamed Qi was silent for a long time, and then turned his head to look at the man surnamed Pang, and said with a slightly serious face: "Brother Pang, you and I have known each other for several years, and the relationship is not shallow. Qi Mou from a poor, it took more than ten years to have today's wealth, naturally not a reckless generation, I think Qi Mou also mixed a small reputation in Qi at the beginning, but was moved to Xianyang by the emperor, and now three years have passed, only feel that the hands and feet are tied, although the world is peaceful, but the business is not as good as a day, Brother Pang can feel like this? ”

"Not bad!" The man surnamed Pang nodded slightly with a solemn face.

"One is that my business status is already low, and they don't want to make a living together to keep warm, and the other is that the princes and princes have begun to get involved in business, Brother Pang looks at the ferry in front of him, and the people who plant the princes and princes are enough to make more than half, under the advantages of the other, we naturally feel that the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and we are becoming more and more unable to make ends meet, if we can't open a new channel and get a strong backer to change the current dilemma, I'm afraid it will only be a big deal after three or five years!"

"Brother Qi thinks that this trip without capital is the opportunity to change this dilemma?" The man surnamed Pang asked after a long silence.

"Hehe, yes, Brother Pang, you have to take a little long-term view, you know that I want to do a loss-making business this time, the newspaper collection of shabby clothes is a good deed, this is benevolence, Xianyang is the Beijing Division, this is the land, Qilu and Qi suffered floods, this is the time, the newspaper is opened by the Marquis of Qinghe, this is a person, and these clothes are all for the relief of the victims, this is a thing, the five things mentioned in the "Business Classic" are complete, and the person referred to must be good money, so as long as Qi does this well, he will definitely soar in the future. So this time, even if Qi has exhausted his family wealth, he has to fight hard, has Brother Pang forgotten those businessmen who have exhausted their family wealth to build horse pawn equipment? ”

"Chapter 3?" The man surnamed Pang exclaimed, and then looked directly at the man surnamed Qi, "The last time the three chapters of the covenant were issued by the emperor's edict, this time it was just done by the newspaper, not to mention that there is no ordinance for the three chapters of the covenant, isn't Brother Qi afraid that there will be no bones left when he takes all his net worth?" ”

"What is the difference between the emperor's list and the promise of the Qinghe Marquis, whether the emperor's list is issued or not, it is just a word of the Qinghe Hou, as long as the Qinghe Marquis is willing to report, the emperor will definitely follow it, this is a trivial matter......"

"Brother Qi, the newspaper ...... What kind of promise did the newspaper give you? The man surnamed Pang suddenly knotted his tongue with some excitement.

"Advertisement!"

"Cantonese ...... Advertise to ...... What is it? ”

"It's just a sentence in the newspaper!"

"What?"

"The name of the person, the business address, the type of goods to buy and sell!"

The man surnamed Pang couldn't help but shudder a few times, and then looked at the man surnamed Qi directly: "Then Brother Qi...... Wouldn't Brother Qi be famous all over the world in an instant? ”

"Yes!"

"Huh~~" The man surnamed Pang suddenly screamed, and excitedly grabbed the arm of the man surnamed Qi and shouted: "Brother Qi return the boat to me, and I will go to the newspaper to take over the delivery of some clothes!" ”

The man surnamed Qi glanced at his companion who was a little crazy and said, "It's too late for you, so-and-so has already reached a full transportation agreement with the newspaper, and it is impossible for anyone to receive this task again!" ”

"Don't believe so?"

"The contract is here, believe it or not!" The man surnamed Qi slowly took out a piece of hemp paper from his pocket and opened it slowly.

After reading this exclusive transportation contract, looking at the bright red seal of the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper stamped at the bottom, looking at the words Chen Ping, the general affairs secretary signed and today's time, the man surnamed Pang was trembling all over, and after a long time, he returned the contract to the man surnamed Qi like a mourner, looking at the helpers and boatmen who were shouting back and forth like ants on the dock to carry the clothes, and after a long time, his face was depressed, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at the man surnamed Qi and said excitedly: "Brother Qi, you and I have been friends for several years, can't you just pull my brother?" ”

"You didn't give me any less money when you rented a boat!" The man surnamed Qi pouted and said.

The man surnamed Pang's eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed the hand of the man surnamed Qi and said in surprise: "Brother Qi, why did you say this?" At this time and that time, if Brother Qi takes me on this trip, not only will he not charge the fare, but he will also be willing to bear half of the costs of transporting the clothes, and I hope that Brother Qi will give Hou Ye a few more kind words, and Pang's name will also be printed in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, what do you think? ”

"So?" The man surnamed Qi looked embarrassed.

"Seventy percent, Pang bears seventy percent of all the expenses this time, and Pang can set off with the fleet to supervise the delivery, Brother Qi only needs to sit in Xianyang to contact the newspaper!" The man surnamed Pang gritted his teeth and continued to increase the size.

"This expense is not small, at least 30,000 yuan, Brother Pang doesn't regret it?" A smile appeared in the depths of the man's eyes.

"No regrets, no regrets!" The man surnamed Pang nodded hurriedly.

"Well, it seems that Brother Pang is sincere, and a certain promise is, you and I will go back first and write a contract for entrusted transportation, and the escort of these goods will be handed over to Brother Pang, and a certain will sit in Xianyang to communicate with the newspaper, and Brother Pang will not be disappointed when the time comes!"

"That's good, that's good, it's a word, you and I hurry up to sign the contract!"

The man surnamed Pang was afraid that the man surnamed Qi would regret it, so he pulled him off the boat in a hurry, and then got into the carriage and went straight to the city.

An hour later, the man surnamed Pang returned alone, with a new contract of carriage in his arms, and excitedly began to instruct the shipwright to speed up the loading, and the man surnamed Qi came to the newspaper again to discuss the project subcontracting with Chen Ping.

After hearing this, Chen Ping didn't care, and only reassured the man surnamed Qi, don't say that it is to add one more name, even if it is to add eight or ten, as long as this matter can be handled smoothly, it will not matter.

So the man surnamed Qi happily went home with two contracts to accompany his wife and children, and at the same time, the tension in his heart was completely relaxed.

He gritted his teeth and picked up this exclusive deal, if there was no one to share it, it would almost be smashed into his entire net worth, even if he successfully completed the delivery task, he was almost hollowed out of his family, for the businessman who has always been cautious and unprofitable, and who does not see rabbits and eagles, this is almost a gambling nature, and in fact he has not reached this point.

But there are two ways to get rich and get rich, one is the accumulation of water over time, which is the process of accumulating wealth for most businessmen, such as ordinary businessmen; But there is another kind of businessman who seizes a certain opportunity to make a windfall, such as the businessmen who participated in the three chapters of the covenant, and now they are all getting rich every day, each of them is a newly rising giant businessman and a rich man, which makes all the businessmen in Xianyang red to tears, but they can only watch others make money and can't intervene.

Therefore, after the man surnamed Qi signed the contract, he found a businessman surnamed Pang who he was friends with on weekdays, and the two were like-minded at the same age, and they were quite clean and upright, which was worth his pit, so there was a conversation at the wharf, everything was just to lure him into the bait.

At present, the man surnamed Pang not only sent five big ships, but also volunteered to bear seventy percent of the cost, and volunteered to escort the goods to the disaster area, such a business partner is the best partner to work with.

What's more, in business, friends belong to friends, and business belongs to business, even if the man surnamed Pang knows that he is on the set afterwards, he will never raise any objections, this is the reputation rule of business, and people cannot stand without trust.

With the donation boom set off by the new issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily in Xianyang, after the afternoon to the court, a group of Confucian disciples have enthusiastically praised and praised the first emperor's disaster relief edict and the newspaper's benevolent and righteous measures.

With the issuance of the disaster relief order, the three provinces and six ministries of the general decree and the officials who inspected the disaster area for disaster relief also set off one after another, and the business and travel wharf outside the east gate of Xianyang City, a large number of passenger boats full of people also set sail, like a string of pearls along the Wei River down the river, it only takes two hours to enter the big river, and then the speed is faster, one day and one night will travel thousands of miles, and three days will arrive at the disaster area.

Among these passenger ships, in addition to the officials of the three provinces and six ministries and the imperial history of the inspection, there were also doctors and nurses from the health center and a large number of pills to prevent the plague and relieve the heat, all of which were re-improved by a group of doctors and warlocks from the health center by Xu Fu and other health centers based on the Turen Dan and antidote powder made by Chen Xu at the beginning.

In addition, there is also a newspaper interview team with personnel on the ship wearing uniform blue vests, the words Daqin Metropolis Daily printed on the back, and nameplates such as reporters and stewards hanging on their chests, led by Qiu Cheng, Pang Que and Li Shun, and more than a dozen reporters remaining.

The depressed Comrade Li Shun finally returned from the northwest with great victory, the little white-faced scholar turned into a black ruffian, and the beautiful concubines of the mansion had not had time to enjoy it, but after being invited to visit the garden once, he was forced by his uncle Qiu Cheng to go to the southeast again to observe the flood and the people's situation, so he could only sigh depressedly at the surging and tumbling river.

At the same time, the cargo wharf outside the south gate of Xianyang, after two days of busyness, twenty large ships are all filled with old clothes donated by the people of Xianyang, the number is enough to 70,000 sets, although it is not enough compared to hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster, but this batch of clothes will greatly alleviate the victims in the disaster area who are most in urgent need of clothes, plus after the disaster relief order arrives in the local area, it is estimated that the county government will also issue a donation of clothing initiative, it is estimated that some can be raised, not to mention that the donation of Xianyang people has not completely stopped, Some clothes were sent to the newspaper one after another, and in a few days, a few boats were put together for the businessman surnamed Qi to send away.
