Chapter 47: The First Transaction
The chief steward had already made up his mind, and just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but saw Yuan Dongchu take out a few pages from the cloth bag she had been carrying.
"The little girl knows that this kind of petty profit should not trouble the Guibao. However, due to time constraints, there is no time to make sufficient preparations in advance, which seems to be a bit rushed.
If you are properly prepared and have sufficient financial resources, you can make a formal start to this business, and although the profit is considerable, its potential value and influence must be paid attention to. ”
Yuan Dongchu pushed the pages in front of the chief steward, "This is the plan made by my father and Brother Gu, the content is very concise, it doesn't take a lot of time, please take a look." ”
The chief steward glanced at Yuan Dongchu again, picked up the paper very reluctantly, and looked at it page by page.
The plan was not made by Yuan Changhe and Gu Tiancheng, but a draft by Yuan Dongchu.
The whole vernacular is concise and to the point, and I try to understand the meaning at a glance.
It was Qin Xiangru who did the final transcription. The clear regular script is also to ensure smooth reading.
The steward of the National People's Congress is definitely a leader in culture, brushing and brushing, with ten lines at a glance, and soon after turning the pages one by one, the original skeptical look gradually became solemn.
After reading the last page, the chief steward didn't even have time to do the face project, so he dropped the sentence "Miss Yuan wait a minute", and without any more words, he picked up a few pages and left.
Yuan Dongchu's plan was to use the canal and its connected transportation to establish a logistics team.
Such a team, while earning transportation and delivery fees, can also form a channel for collecting information and soliciting freight business, which will play a strong auxiliary role in future river transportation.
The plan taken by the chief steward had only a general framework, and the specific content of the operation and the great prospects were not written on it.
However, this is the Hongjiang Shipyard, dozens or hundreds of years old, which has experienced the chaos and replacement of the old and new dynasties, and is still standing.
Yuan Dongchu believes that the owner and chief steward of Hongjiang Shipyard definitely have extraordinary vision. Just one framework is enough for them to sniff out the business opportunities and potential.
As for the specific direction of advancement, even the elites of the business and manufacturing industries could not clarify the planning and direction of logistics and transportation in a short period of time without learning from or even thinking about this industry model.
The owner of Hongjiang Shipyard should not plagiarize a little girl's business idea.
In order to promote logistics and transportation in a more specific way, and Zhuo Yuantu is optimistic about Gu Tiancheng's future, the two sides have great possibilities for cooperation.
Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if Hongjiang Shipyard really plagiarized this plan, according to their practice of crossing the river by feeling the stones, Yuan Dongchu would have enough time to operate and advance on his own.
The results and progress will definitely be able to catch up with the latecomers. Over time, he will be the leader of the industry.
Therefore, Yuan Dongchu was not in a hurry, picked up the late tea cup, and sipped it slowly.
The waiting time was a little long, and Xingyao behind him and the butler who accompanied the guests couldn't stand, and the chief steward was late.
Behind the chief steward were four shipyard attendants.
The chief steward sat down in front of Yuan Dongchu, and the little servant replaced the new tea cup.
Just the fragrance of tea wafting out of the tea cup, you can smell the obvious difference, and the grade of the tea brewing this time is much better.
The refreshments and fruits were then put on the table, and they were all exquisite.
Yuan Dongchu didn't have the habit of taking people, and when the little guy retreated, he asked with a smile: "That plan, can it still enter the eyes of the big steward?" ”
The chief steward's surname is He, and his name is He Dongping.
After listening to Yuan Dongchu's question, he was not in a hurry at all, glanced at the few pages that had returned to Yuan Dongchu's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from Miss Yuan, I just found the owner and showed the owner this document." The proprietor is interested in the matters mentioned here......"
When Chief Steward He said this, he deliberately paused to confirm Yuan Dongchu's concentration before continuing: "It's just that we have always only been engaged in shipbuilding-related industries, and have never been in contact with other industries. What Miss Yuan wrote on the paperwork, we still need to consider it before making a decision. ”
"Oh......" Yuan Dongchu said, "Do you need time to discuss?" The chief steward, you also know that we still have things at home, and we can't stay in Tongzhou Mansion for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for a long time. ”
"Well...... this" Steward He still spoke politely, but the answer he gave was vague, "Since we are cooperating, of course, we must consider all aspects of things thoughtfully, if there are any mistakes and omissions after a hasty decision, it will not be good to estranged the two families." ”
Steward He's words really gave face, Yuan Changhe and Gu Tiancheng are now poor and white, but Hongjiang Shipyard treats them equally, saying that they are afraid that the two families will be estranged.
Yuan Dongchu was very appreciative, smiled when he heard the words, got up and said: "Okay, it is definitely a blessing for us to be valued by Hongjiang Shipyard." Since the shipyard needs to be discussed, then I will take my leave first, and come back in two days to hear back from the chief steward. ”
He didn't do much to keep it, and got up very politely to send him off.
Although Hongjiang Shipyard did not give a clear answer, there was a big steward to send it off in person, and for a little girl, this kind of treatment can be regarded as over-spec.
After a long delay in the Hongjiang Shipyard, Yuan Dongchu was no longer in a hurry and walked all the way back to the inn where he lived, and the time was almost noon.
After a while, Yuan Changhe and Gu Tiancheng came back one after another.
The first thing the two asked when they came back was what happened to Yuan Dongchu and Hongjiang Shipyard?
In Yuan Changhe's room, several people sat around the table.
"It's going well, Manager He read the plan, so he left immediately, and after discussing with Zhuo Daguan, he said that he wanted to think about it, but he didn't give specific time." Yuan Dongchu said to Yuan Changhe and Gu Tiancheng.
This result was within Gu Tiancheng's expectations, so he was not disappointed: "Zhuo Yuantu is not an ordinary person, he is very shrewd. He's going to have to weigh our weight before he makes the next move. Next, it will be up to our two ships to set sail smoothly. ”
Yuan Changhe said: "I have finalized a fleet to return to Jianzhou, I heard that our ship is from Hongjiang Shipyard, and I am very interested." ”
Gu Tiancheng nodded and said: "I have enough manpower here, tomorrow at the beginning of winter, I and Jingwen will take people to the shipyard to pick up the ship, and after getting the ship, we can go directly to the dock." We will open it now, relying on the road guide, to undertake the business of carrying letters and bringing goods. ”
Yuan Dongchu was a little worried: "Didn't you say that someone has already paid attention to Dad and Brother Gu, and there are actions in private?" hasn't been taken care of by Hongjiang Shipyard yet, just opening like this, these people will make trouble, right? ”
Gu Tiancheng said with a smile: "We have been walking on the dock for the past few days, and we have already fallen into the eyes of those who have a heart. Now, I'm afraid many people are waiting to see if our first deal can be done. ”
Gu Tiancheng sneered in his heart, if the first transaction was pressed by someone, anyone who had a little idea would be able to touch their fleet and take advantage of it.
There are even more people like Zhuo Yuantu, although they are optimistic about him, but who they are, they always have to see if he is worth helping, and then decide how hard to help.
It's a pity that he Gu Tiancheng didn't plan to let people carry him at all, and he welcomed those who were willing to bet on him. If you want to be on top, you have to hold him in your hands for the rest of the day, but it is impossible.
I hope Zhuo Yuantu doesn't have this kind of thought.
