Chapter 367: Transport Company
"You must have saved a lot of money after waiting for so many years, right? When you get old, why bother with the Cao Gang? Why don't you go home with your money and enjoy your old age in peace! As for the brothers of your gang, my Red Flower Society has its own arrangements! The people at the bottom are easy to buy, and if these high-level people are not interested, they can only be replaced.
"I wonder how the chief helmsman plans to settle the brothers in our guild?" , Gang Leader Pan began to turn his mind, the big gang of hundreds of thousands of people is not so easy to place, if the Red Flower Club is not properly arranged, if there is a mess below, don't they still have to clean up the stall? Maybe I'll be able to ask for more when the time comes.
In his opinion, this Cao Gang is like an old large state-owned enterprise in later generations, their products and services can no longer keep up with the needs of the times, but because of the huge volume, the government does not dare to move lightly, and has invested funds in this bottomless pit again and again, fattening those who are officials, and the employees at the bottom are still poor.
But fortunately, it is now the era of rapid change, hundreds of thousands of jobs are not difficult to find, now with the development of the industrialization of the Red Flower Society, the rapid expansion of commerce, the demand for the transportation industry is increasing, the Cao Gang was doing the transportation of the road before, it is not appropriate to transform them into a transportation company, of course, this kind of industry involving the security of the country must be controlled in their own hands, and the original leaders of those gangs let them do what they should do!
"I plan to set up a transportation company, let these gang brothers join the company, and use boats, vehicles, and horses to let all kinds of materials under the Red Flower Society pass through the world!" Of course, this company not only has the personnel of the Cao Gang, but also will join the large convoy of Jin merchants in the north, the tea and horse gang in the southwest, the dart bureaus in various places, etc., or can they set up branches according to the region?
"I wonder what the charter of this transport company is?" Gang Leader Pan asked cautiously, he was still unwilling and wanted to seek some benefits in it.
"I've chosen someone to take care of this! If you are interested, you may wish to talk to him! Chen Jialuo is almost impatient, these people still don't give up, don't they think that Honghua will be easy to talk?
Throw them to the head of the transportation department on the side of the Red Flower Society. Chen Jialuo turned around and took care of other affairs; After seeing the detailed planning of the transportation department, the Cao Gang lost confidence in continuing to control the Cao Gang, but the Pan Gang Leader thought that he had been operating on the canal for many years, and the doorways inside were clear, and if he opened a company like this, he might be able to continue to make a fortune.
Since he had this idea, he put forward his opinions to the transportation department, and the transportation department discussed and agreed to his business plan, so Pan Gangzhu and others returned to Yangzhou in high spirits and began to prepare their own transportation company.
After Yangzhou opened the city without blood, he gathered the brothers in the gang to talk about his business plan, but except for some close disciples and relatives. There were not many people who responded, they were all attracted by the recruitment notice posted by the Red Flower Society, and the salary given by the Pan Gang Leader and the salary offered by the Red Flower Society were really not of the same grade.
At first, he didn't care, relying on his wide network and understanding of transportation affairs, he started to run business with this group of people, don't you really say, he really got several big orders at the beginning. However, as soon as the goods were on the road, the old problems of these gangs were committed again, either carrying smuggled goods or stealing goods. After the goods arrived at the predetermined place, the number on the list was reduced by 30%!
It took a lot of blood for the Pan Gang Leader to appease the cargo owner, but since then, it has not been easy for the Pan Gang Leader to take over the business; Watching his company fall day by day. In desperation, the Pan gang leader once again found the transportation department of the Red Flower Society for advice, and formulated strict rules and regulations and a perfect inspection system under their guidance, and then opened a group of black sheep who were cheating and cheating, and recruited a group of honest and obedient employees who were willing to endure hardships, and the company slowly regained its vitality.
By the time Pan Gang Master grew old, his company was already the largest private transportation company in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The free shipping business in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai launched in cooperation with the large factory owners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is highly praised by the merchants.
Similar to the Cao Gang, there are also the thirteen lines of Guangdong, because it is located in ancient China's only and the world's fourth largest foreign trade port, these people have earned mountains and seas of silver just by buying and selling for so many years, although they have been affected by Fujian in recent years, but China is so big or left enough benefits for them. These people also thought that this kind of life of lying down and earning money could continue.
However, with the gradual expansion of the territory of the Red Flower Society, new commercial ports have been opened in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places, and it is said that the Red Flower Society also intends to build the country's largest treaty port in the Songjiang area; At this moment, the business in Guangzhou gradually declined, and the life of the Thirteen Lines became more and more difficult.
They are like the pearl at the beginning, when the entire continent was in a state of blockade, they backed China and faced the world, and it was not too easy to make money, but when the whole mainland was opened up, they still held on to the defects and did not want to forge ahead, so it was only a matter of time before they declined.
Of course, not everyone lacks vision, the Pan family in the thirteen lines saw business opportunities from the development of the Red Flower Society, and found that the Red Flower Society now attaches great importance to the construction of the factory, and they are relatively short of funds to build the factory, so the head of the Pan family, Pan Zhencheng, regardless of the opposition of his family, put all his savings into the construction of the factory.
Decades later, by the time Pan Youdu, the next generation of the Pan family, ascended to the throne, the Pan family had become one of the richest people in China, and the descendants of the other thirteen lines were either still gnawing on the ancestral inheritance that was about to be consumed, or they had lost all their family property and went overseas to find opportunities; The Pan family has become the only family in the Thirteen Lines that is better than in the past.
At the same time, after conquering Guangzhou, there is still a small problem left for the Red Flower Society to deal with, that is, how to deal with Macao; When the Red Flower Society army entered Guangdong, the Portuguese were like a great enemy, and at first they wanted to threaten the Red Flower Society with the power of their guns, but they lost the courage to resist when they saw the sails and countless artillery on the sea, the neat ranks of the land army and the rifles that looked much more advanced than the ones they used.
However, the Red Flower Society did not attack Macao, but only sent a battalion stationed around Macao to monitor these Westerners, and it was not until the whole territory of Guangdong was cleared that the envoy came to Macao and sent the Red Flower Society how to deal with Macao!
