With Zhuo Yuantu's words, He Dongping's heart felt less guilty, and said: "There are only a few preparatory documents for the letter bureau, so I will send someone to bring a message to Gu Tiancheng and urge Miss Yuan to complete the rest as soon as possible." ”

"Well...... Zhuo Yuantu hesitated, "You don't care about this matter, I'll go back and ask the eldest lady to send someone to find Miss Yuan directly." Invite her to come to the mansion as a guest, write the paperwork, ask for her opinion, and see if you can let Jinglan complete it with her. ”

"That's the best." He Dongping nodded again and again.

Zhuo Jinglan is the second daughter of Zhuo Yuantu, fifteen this year.

The Zhuo family invited a female gentleman early to teach their two daughters to study calligraphy and painting, and Miss Jinglan learned the best.

The Zhuo family's family background is higher than that of merchants, but after all, it can be regarded as a handicraft industry, and they are good at business, which is not as good as the official eunuch and the cultivator family.

Zhuo Yuantu does not rely on the circle of reading, and teaches his children to be more practical.

The intention of assisting Yuan Dongchu to write the document is very obvious, so that her daughter can learn something, and also see that there are other women in the world with different talents.

…………

As a modern person, Yuan Dongchu has no psychological burden at all for them to buy a boat in installments and lobby Hongjiang Shipyard to invest in a boat.

The ship in the north and south of Chengyun went through the proper procedures, and it was bought with installments, and no one was missing.

Moreover, the installment payment is also added according to the normal interest rate of this era, which is not cheap at all.

Of course, Zhuo Yuantu's favor must be received. In this era, except for Zhuo Yuantu, I am afraid that no one can give them such accommodation.

As for the ship that Hongjiang Shipyard put into the letter bureau, not to mention. The most reasonable and economical way to put your own ready-made means of transportation, which is idle in the dock and will not lay eggs, is to invest in the information bureau.

Otherwise, you have to hire a boat for each delivery, which adds additional costs and is very uneconomical.

With this ship, the letter bureau's parcels are not satisfied, and it can help Chengyun to transport goods from the north to the south, and collect the same shipping fare from the north and south of Chengyun.

Why not do what is beneficial and harmless?

Her suggestion is absolutely rational, and it is good or not.

Although the cooperation documents of the 37 branch have not yet been signed, Yuan Dongchu still seized the time and began to write the preparation plan for the delivery of the general number and the subordinate branches at all levels.

In addition, the responsibilities of the general number and branches at all levels, parcels and letters and other delivery items, from pickup to sorting, to transportation, delivery, and a series of systems must also be in place.

There's a lot of content involved, and there's a lot of writing.

The people they came this time could write, except for Yuan Dongchu, who was Gu Tiancheng.

But Gu Tiancheng still has to be busy with the affairs of the return journey of the cargo ship, rectifying and resting, and contacting the transportation of goods on the return trip, and there are many things.

In addition, there is another major item, the publicity of the letter bureau's return trip, focusing on the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony and the safe letter to parents, wives and children.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, those who work outside, work, or even become a petty official have the ability to go home, so they naturally have to go back.

But there are also many who can't go back, or can't get home in a hurry.

In this case, send a letter to your family to report your safety. Bring some food and clothing items to the elders of the family or relatives and friends who are concerned, and talk about it......

What a wonderful thing......

As long as the reputation of Chengyun delivery is good enough and the publicity is in place, there will be enough letters and parcels for this trip.

There is a lot of walking, and there is the gimmick of the Mid-Autumn Festival, making money is one thing, and the reputation and reputation will also be doubled after this time.

The business of the letter bureau is at least completely foothold in the entire state capital of Tongzhou.

After that, there are Chongyang Festival, Winter Solstice, and the New Year, which are all festivals that everyone attaches importance to, and packages will continue to come to the door.

Perhaps, there are still people who take the initiative to inquire about the delivery of regions outside Tongzhou, and it is not a problem to open up the situation.

Once Chengyun delivery is famous in Tongzhou, with a transportation port like Tongzhou, this new thing will soon spread all over the canal and gain huge market potential.

Therefore, after Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu came back from Hongjiang Shipyard, they discussed the current situation a little, and after lunch, the two of them were busy on these two things.

Yuan Dongchu prepared the plan, and Gu Tiancheng took his brothers, while delivering the remaining packages and receipts, and at the same time, with the help of Liu Sanhu and Zhang Erzhu, they gathered a number of half-sized children, walked the streets and alleys, and did special publicity for Mid-Autumn Festival delivery.

At the same time, Yuan Dongchu was also waiting for Hongjiang Shipyard's reply on the cooperation of the letter bureau.

Hongjiang Shipyard recognized Yuan Dongchu's proposal to divide the three sevens, and their cooperation will continue.

If you don't recognize it, things are a little more difficult.

Yuan Dongchu can take another step back, give up a hundred shares, and cooperate in a pattern of four or six.

If you retreat, you can't do it, and the fifty-fifty split is equivalent to giving up the dominance of the letter bureau. This result was definitely not acceptable to Yuan Dongchu, so they could only think of other ways.

At the beginning, the purpose of opening the letter bureau was mainly to tie up with the north and south of Chengyun, and even to serve river transportation.

Such an institution, in which the dominant power and the right to speak are held by another company, also loses its significance.

…………

Half a day passed quickly, and Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu didn't wait long, and before dinner that day, someone came looking for them.

It's just that the person who came was not from Hongjiang Shipyard, but a housekeeper from Zhuofu.

What's going on?

Gu Tiancheng and the others looked at each other.

The post was sent by Mrs. Zhuo of the back house of Zhuo's house, but the content of the post was to find Yuan Dongchu to discuss the preparation plan of the letter bureau.

In addition, the post was accompanied by a very sincere cooperation document.

Gu Tiancheng took the paperwork, only glanced at it a few times, and handed it to Yuan Dongchu.

Yuan Dongchu was responsible for negotiating the cooperation of the letter bureau, and the specific proposal was also discussed between her and He Dongping, and the grandmother was still waiting at the dock, and Yuan Dongchu browsed faster and knew better.

Yuan Dongchu read the key part of the document at a glance and ten lines, and it was written according to the proposal of Yuan Dongchu and He Dongping in the morning.

The terms are clear, the responsibilities are clear, the ratio of the two is three to seven, Chengyun North and South account for seventy percent of the shares, and Hongjiang Shipyard accounts for three percent.

Zhuo Yuantu is so sincere, where can he snub the people sent by others.

This time, led by Yuan Dongchu, Gu Tiancheng and a few people followed, with hurried steps, and got off the boat to greet them.

The person who came was a middle-aged woman, wearing a light-colored dark pattern blue satin dress. Although she was slightly blessed, she couldn't hide her shrewdness and neatness at all.

The middle-aged mother-in-law is followed by two maids, which shows the dignity of the mother-in-law in Zhuofu.

About what kind of style the head of the house is, the family members and servants in the house will be more or less contaminated.

This mother-in-law introduced herself as surnamed Liu, behaved in a regular and rigorous manner, and walked quite magnificently, but her speech was not arrogant and deep.

Yuan Dongchu and Gu Tiancheng gave in many times, and the grandmother surnamed Liu leaned sideways and sat down on the chair below, while the two girls stood behind her in a proper manner.
