Chapter 49 Coal Selling Business

When I dreamed of returning, I thought to myself on the way: It's a pity that such a good arsenal of the Jilin Bureau doesn't make weapons now, and the machinery and equipment and craftsmen are a huge waste! It's not a peaceful time now, and this Qing general doesn't know what to think! He doesn't use me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dream first went to the dock to see the Lin family brothers receiving the goods on the ship, he told him to pay attention to safety and night protection, etc., and then went to Sanbao Business. He also discussed with the shopkeeper Zou about recruitment, and asked him to contact and recruit various technical personnel and some blacksmiths and shipbuilders, etc., and he could also send a letter to his old acquaintance in the original Tianjin factory, asking them to come over or recommend some relevant personnel to come, and the commission standard was basically clearly agreed; And let him paste a large-character recruitment advertisement paper in front of the store, and he will receive the recruitment first.

It was already dark after finishing here, and the young man came to him with a lantern, saying that the little coal mine owner was waiting for him at the shop, and the head uncle asked him to go back quickly.

When I returned to the shop, a man in his forties and a young man in his twenties dressed like a student were chatting with Uncle Tou, and Uncle Tou introduced them: this man is the owner of the small coal kiln forest mine in Jiaohe, and the young man is his son Lin Zhi, who is now going to school in Fengtian Church, but he is studying Western medicine, and he will not graduate until half a year later; This is rare knowledge in these days, but it will be difficult to find a job, and most of the math graduates are also working in small clinics in the church.

The owner of the forest mine first talked to Mengqi about the coal business, his family's small coal kiln is very small, according to the current output, it is just enough for Mengqi to use now, if Mengqi blacksmith furnace increases, Zhuang Min heating and so on, then he will not be enough. If this is the case, he has to find another coal supplier, then he is a little troublesome, and he asked the forest mine owner from the dream, can he buy shares, expand the scale of the small coal kiln, he also has a small steamer, it is also convenient to transport coal, Sanbao Business and Toubo can do coal business here.

Of course, the owner of the forest mine is very willing to hear it, where is the coal in his house, there are many small coal kilns, there are no ships, no fixed users and shops, the business is not very good, the output is not big and dare not be large, it is difficult to dig coal and dig and sell, the cost of entrusting coal transportation to hire ships and ask merchants to sell on behalf of them is too high, and they can't afford it at all, and the risk is still big.

After the negotiation between the owner of the forest mine and Mengqi, the small coal kiln of the Lin family was owned by Mengqi, the reason is very simple, the small coal kiln has expanded into a small coal mine, and the silver is all from Mengqi, and most of the coal produced is purchased and used by Mengqi himself, and the remaining coal is also sold by Sanbao Commerce.

In this way, the forest mine owner is only responsible for recruiting miners and managing the coal mine coal output, and he has nothing else to do, and he doesn't need to contact the sales and sell coal to run around, making easy profits and safe. Therefore, the final result of the discussion was: the forest mine owner accounted for 25% of the shares, Mengqi accounted for 75% of the shares, the head of the uncle contacted the sales according to the profit of 25% of the commission, and Mengqi himself used coal according to the lowest price in the market.

After the matter was settled, the forest mine owner went back to Jiaohe to arrange for the recruitment of miners and the expansion of production. Mengqi asked the head uncle to help him buy a large amount of grain, he wanted to store more grain in the cave, people would have more peace of mind, especially he might recruit a large number of people, and he would have to prepare more food. After the grain matter was discussed, he asked the head uncle to help buy a few more large wooden boats, preferably with the boatmen, and the head uncle said that it is easy to buy wooden boats now and hire people, and it can be done tomorrow morning, because it is not the season to transport grain, and there are many idle wooden boats, and there are wooden boats sold at every wharf.

After all the things in Jilin were done, the next morning, I dreamed that after a dragon and the head of the uncle, I went directly to the second wharf, and dreamed of which small steamer opened by Lin Xun, and first let all the boatmen of several ships take turns to change the new guns, all of which are two guns, one long and one short, each person starts with a bayonet 1 long gun bullet 100 rounds, and 30 revolver bullets, and stipulates that after the fleet drives out of the waters of Jilin Province, wherever there is no one passing by, it begins to practice guns with prizes, and along the way there are prizes for fishing, birds, birds and animals, and the silver that hits is a penny, and more fights are more. If there are not enough bullets, they will be replaced with empty cartridge shells, and in the future, all non-wartime gun training guns must be exchanged for empty cartridge shells, and no empty cartridge shells will no longer be issued with bullets.

Then Mengqi gave the two brothers of the Lin family, each with a pocket watch and a monocular, and taught them how to use and use, Mengqi also took out a telescope, and saw that Xiao Yahuan was curious and lent her one to watch and play first, and must hand it back after going back, Xiao Yahuan nodded violently.

Two small steamers towing two barges and two newly purchased wooden boats were gunfire as soon as they left the waters of the Jilin provincial capital. A shot gun sounded, the birds and birds in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Songhua River flew up randomly, and there was a burst of random guns, and several guards who dreamed of it were busy counting and counting, and Xiao Yahuan was also happy to help record, many big fish that were killed, and the fish belly turned over and flowed down the river.

Along the way, the gun practice crowd is not lively, sometimes the gunfire alarmed the beasts in the forest, panicked and ran to the riverside, and then shot multiple shots, the beasts were killed and injured on the shore, this group of people is so bad and cruel, Xiao Yahuan can only think about it in her heart when she sees this scene, she dare not say that the young master is cruel.

When they returned to the Weisha River, all the boatmen in the fleet had the most direct understanding of the new guns, and their marksmanship had also been greatly improved! When the boat arrived at the shore, I dreamed that the village wall leading to Xinshengtun had been built, and many craftsmen and casual workers were building a single-story log wall at the mouth of the ditch.

When I dreamed of going ashore, I first asked some of the guards and boatmen in the village to unload all the weapons, ammunition and equipment, and transport them to the second cave of the cave by horse-drawn cart, and the rest of the goods were unloaded until tomorrow. Mengqi went to the cave after arranging, and the second cave entrance wall and door in the cave had been built, and Mengqi asked a guard to tell Menghuan that he would send a few guards to take turns at this gate in the future, and no one was allowed to be here in the future.

After which guard went, Mengqi entered the second cave and looked at it, thinking that it should be divided into some areas, with a passage in the middle, a warehouse on both sides, and a warehouse classified for storing goods, so that it would be more convenient to manage, store and use.

The dream came out of the cave and went to the blacksmith, and asked the blacksmith to make 50 lampstands for later; Then I went to the bottom of the ditch to build a house, here there are some craftsmen and casual workers doing the finishing work, the house has been basically completed, the village wall at the bottom of the ditch has also been built, and the two large log doors are closed.

After inspecting the gate of the village wall leading to Xinshengtun, the wooden house area on the left side of the cave entrance has been completed, and more than 70 courtyard houses here have been completed......
