Chapter 79: Destination 2
Gu Tiancheng didn't even mention the loss of money in freight, only this request, where would the two cargo owners not agree?
One person hurriedly smiled back: "That's that, what Brother Gu said." This river transport, we accept the love of the little brother, and when we encounter such a thing, we can still transport our goods to the destination safely, speaking of which, the little brother Gu has outstanding ability. Not to mention, this trip was definitely smooth and arrived safely. ”
The other is also a slippery statement: "Although Brother Gu can rest assured, we have been in business for many years, and we know what to say and what not to say." Otherwise, who would dare to do business with us. ”
That's right, if anyone has a big mouth, I'm afraid they won't be able to get low-priced goods. If a big-mouthed merchant shouts out the reserve price, it will be difficult to make a high price in the future.
For the sincerity of the two, Gu Tiancheng was very affectionate, and thanked him again and again: "Then thank you two." In the future, we will make the north and south bigger, and when we meet the goods of the two, we will give the two discounts. ”
The two of them are naturally grateful, and they secretly say that Gu Tiancheng is knowledgeable.
What is promised here to the two of them is that the river will run bigger in the future, and the goods of the two of them will be transported again.
If they return to Muliang Town in two days, and Gu Tiancheng asks them for work, should they or not?
Well, when there is a risk, they can avoid it. Chengyun North and South have become bigger, and they have benefits.
With Gu Tiancheng's words, the two of them are looking forward to the infinite scenery of Chengyun in the future.
If nothing else, what they do is the difference in the price of the goods transported back and forth, if their goods transportation has always had this discount, for many years, then they have to save a lot of silver?
Just thinking about it, I feel that the future is bright.
Of course, the premise is that Gu Tiancheng's river transport fleet can really make a large fleet as they hope, and Zhao Bocai of Yiyang Wharf does not dare to be embarrassed to transport the north and south sincerely.
At that moment, the two owners and Gu Tiancheng said goodbye earnestly.
People who don't know the inside story, looking at this situation, think that the friendship between the two parties is very deep, and after the money and goods are cleared, they can still talk for a long time.
The Chengzi No. 1 ship docked at Tongzhou Wharf in the afternoon, and when the cargo was unloaded, everything was sorted out, and it was already the end of the Shen hour.
The sun, already setting to the west, shone on the river, casting sparkling golden waves.
The wharf under the sunset, the outline of the large and small ships under the sparkling waves is a little craggy. Cheng Zi No. 1 is not surprising among them, if it is not very familiar, it is not easy to find it for a while.
Now, the cargo carried on the ship has been unloaded in large quantities, and there are still packages and letters contracted by Chengyun Delivery, a large number, waiting for the next delivery.
Yuan Dongchu was standing on the side of the boat early in the morning, surrounded by an aunt in charge of cooking in the kitchen, surnamed Liu, and his son was also on this boat, one of the brothers that Gu Tiancheng picked out to run the boat.
After the owner said goodbye and left, she and Aunt Liu got off the boat, walked next to Gu Tiancheng and the others, and asked with a smile: "I said a lot of words, could it be that those two were also impressed by your aura and made an appointment to rent our boat again?" ”
Where does Pan Zaishui dare to talk, this kind of shameless words, in the whole world, probably only Gu Tiancheng, a cheeky person, dares to speak. But people have the capital to say such things, and others are helpless.
How?!
So, he could only keep squeaking, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Gu Tiancheng.
Liu Sanhu has a good posture of watching the show, he knows what he looks like, and he has never said that he is magnificent...... Actually, the main reason is that he has a bottom line and is not as thick-skinned as someone.
Gu Tiancheng glared at the two of them, looked at Yuan Dongchu and Aunt Liu, and restrained his wanton expression.
Dong Chu is okay, even if he pretends to be out of line, Dong Chu will give him a disdainful look at most.
And looking at it with such a white eye, he is absolutely comfortable all over. Others want Dong Chu to look at it like that, but Dong Chu is not happy.
At least as far as his eyes can see, except for the future father-in-law, Dong Chu has never lost his eyes to others.
But now, Aunt Liu is here. This is not easy to do, he Gu Tiancheng is a person with elders, and he must not let the elders feel that he is frivolous and out of tune.
"Where?" Gu Tiancheng's tone was aggrieved, no, no, no, "I'm talking to the two of them." There was something going on at Yiyang Wharf, and these two people didn't dare to use our boat for a short time. I ask them not to give people details about what happened at Yiyang Pier. It is related to the reputation of our river operation, so I will give a few more words. ”
After a serious explanation, Gu Tiancheng glared at Pan Zaishui again.
What about bad friends? These grandchildren just don't clean up!
Yuan Dongchu thought about it, no matter what he did, it was really difficult at the beginning.
Especially for river transportation, once the goods are on the ship, the life of the cargo owner is entrusted to the ship.
Find an unreliable boat owner with a lot of right and wrong, which is a little more risky.
When people are looking for ships, they are naturally willing to find large fleets, take care of each other, and the insurance coefficient is higher.
They are just starting out, just a boat to run a long distance, and the biggest disadvantage is that they are not insured.
"Let's go to the Hongjiang Shipyard tomorrow to try, or we can really let Zhuo Daguan throw two more boats in, doesn't he still have repaired sand boats there." This is what they had planned before they came to Tongzhou, just to see how much confidence Zhuo Yuantu has in them.
With an extra boat, the risk is much smaller.
So this time in Tongzhou, there are more shipwrights on their ships than on the same type of ships.
"Well, I'll go to Hongjiang Shipyard with you tomorrow." Gu Tiancheng said, turning his head to look at Pan Zaishui and Liu Sanhu, "Let's go, we still have a lot of packages and letters to send." Chengyun delivery has started, taking advantage of the evening time, let's send a wave first. ”
Gu Tiancheng's boatmen are all-rounders, and the people who deliver parcels and letters are the brothers of Tongzhou, so they are very familiar with the streets and alleys of Tongzhou.
When Muliang Town, Yishui County, and Yanpu Town began to recognize characters in the streets and alleys, the people recruited by Tongzhou used another set of literacy cards.
The writing on the card, of course, is the name of Tongzhou and the surrounding areas, and they are also recognizing the handwriting of the names of places in Tongzhou.
In addition, the range of literacy includes common surnames and first names. No matter where you are responsible for delivery, you need to be familiar with the common words of your name.
In fact, this amount of literacy is still relatively large, but when people first come into contact with it, the knowledge of this area is still in a blank period in their minds, which is easier to inculcate and accept more quickly.
After a period of strengthening, the literacy effect is very good, and even the sorting of express mail does not need to be done by Yuan Dongchu himself.
Among the Tongzhou brothers, there is a man named Zhang Erzhu, who is particularly outstanding in terms of literacy, and the express mail sorted out by him according to the Tongzhou street area has a correct rate of more than ninety.
Yuan Dongchu just doubled the sorted packages, especially picked out the wrong parts, and asked Erzhu to strengthen the review.
