The next day, the signing of the cooperation agreement was unusually smooth.

Liao Qingxi went back and thought about it, and felt that he had made an extremely correct decision and added a big income to the family. And all this is only for a few hundred taels of silver.

Thinking about the reputation and status of the Liao family seriously, as long as the letter bureau can become bigger, the Liao family can share a lot of dividends in it, and participate less in the operation of the letter bureau, which is beneficial and harmless to the Liao family.

So, Liao Qingxi didn't have anything to say. Because of the change in focus, he only strictly required the monitoring of the income and expenditure and profit accounts of the Information Bureau, and when the Information Bureau was operating unfavorably, they had the right to be held accountable, and in other aspects, it was easy to reach an agreement with the other two.

The relevant people of the three parties waited for Qirong to sign the contract, and the other two stewards who were responsible for signing the documents all retired and left, Yuan Dongchu also took Aunt Liu away, but Gu Tiancheng was not in a hurry, and after a few words, he put his plan yesterday into action.

"Master Liao, now it's the autumn harvest and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Liao family is a big family, do you have any goods that need to be delivered? If so, might as well use our Chengyun North and South? ”

Liao Qingxi paused. This solar term, the Liao family does have goods and grain to transport. It's just that in the past, they rented the ships of the big boats.

Although Gu Tiancheng calculated the two ships of Hongjiang Shipyard, the return trip was only three medium-sized ships, and the card was really not good.

Gu Tiancheng is still lobbying: "Our brothers who run the river have been working in the river for many years, and they are all experts in shipping. Chengyun North and South have cooperation with you, and this is your first trip to take care of our business. How about I calculate 80% of the shipping fare for this freight? ”

Zhuo Yuantu's eyes flashed, this time period is the time when the transportation of goods is frequent, there is a tooth shop specializing in freight intermediaries, and it is easy to get business for a few silver.

Gu Tiancheng didn't need to pay for this, and used eighty percent of the freight to collect the freight of the Liao family.

Confused, he thought of Yiyang Pier, maybe this is the reason.

Liao Qingxi is not stupid, Gu Tiancheng, who was so shrewd yesterday, suddenly gave up 20% of the freight today to pick up the Liao family's goods.

If there is no special reason, he absolutely does not believe it.

"What the hell is going on with you kid? Let's get it straight. I don't understand why, how can I put my goods in your little river? ”

Gu Tiancheng originally didn't intend to hide that Yiyang Wharf was extorted a hundred taels of silver, even if the two cargo owners didn't mention it, they couldn't stop the people at Yiyang Wharf from talking out by themselves.

is like Boss Sha, who was afraid that he would get the news soon after the incident.

It's just that Boss Sha is more cautious, and he didn't preach to him before he figured out the situation.

"Liao's century-old scholarly, you probably don't know that some time ago, there were rumors about us circulating among the docks in Tongzhou City......

Gu Tiancheng told Liao Qingxi what happened to them at Yiyang Wharf, and finally promised: "The boatmen who accompanied us are all good at one in a hundred, and we don't have to say anything about the work in hand." This trip just wants to borrow your goods and take a walk at Yiyang Wharf, so that you can drive on this section of the river in the future, and you don't need to avoid Yiyang Wharf. ”

It is said that he is a newcomer, and when Yiyang Wharf is ready to plot against him, it is understandable to spend money to eliminate disasters.

If you want to operate normally as soon as possible, find an acquaintance to talk about the favor, or prepare a generous gift for yourself, and give the dock brother a soft, and this matter can be passed.

Or when transporting goods, avoid Yiyang Wharf for a period of time, and wait for the river to go smoothly and have a certain popularity, Yiyang will not make it difficult for an honest river to do business for no reason for the normal operation of the wharf.

But Liao Qingxi had this deal with Gu Tiancheng yesterday, and he unilaterally believed that no matter which of the above methods, it was not something that Gu Tiancheng would choose. This kid wouldn't have swallowed this breath like that.

He looked at Gu Tiancheng scrutinically and asked, "You are transporting the Liao family's goods this time, and with the Liao family's steward supporting the scene, Yiyang Wharf will definitely not dare to be embarrassed." But what about next time? You won't spread the story of the Liao family's participation in the letter bureau during the shipment, right? ”

Gu Tiancheng looked disdainful: "Will it be a long-term solution to live on someone else's name?" This time, it was only our first trip to the river, and we were unprepared. If you want to take over the Liao family's goods, you just don't want to show timidity on the return trip. ”

"What are you going to do next?" Liao Qingxi was very interested, and it was completely an attitude of not thinking too much of a matter to see the excitement.

Gu Tiancheng looked at him and smiled, without squeaking.

The meaning of the unspoken is obvious: can this kind of thing be told casually to people?

Gu Tiancheng's attitude, as long as he is a clear-eyed person, can know that he does not intend to solve this matter by gentle means, let alone back down or give in.

"Okay, just right, we have a trip to Jiangrong County, Pingzhou, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we will use your boat. Later, I will send someone to you to discuss the specific matters. "It is related to the future of Chengyun North and South, Liao Qingxi is not difficult, and agrees.

However, what should be said must not be ambiguous: "Also, as you promised just now, all the affairs on the road will be arranged by you, and my Liao family will have only one steward and two family members." ”

Liao Qingxi has been in charge of the general affairs of the Liao family for many years, and his family has a big business, but the population and expenses are also large, and the manpower and material resources that can be saved must be saved.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will deliver the goods to the designated place according to your requirements before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

…………

The opening of the Chengyun delivery number was early the next morning.

In charge of the Tongzhou general number is Pan Zaishui, who is called the general manager of Tongzhou.

The second shopkeeper is a middle-aged steward sent by Hongjiang Shipyard.

Liu Sanhu and Zhang Erzhu also have two Tongzhou brothers, and this time they will stay and assist Pan Zaishui in doing things.

The publicity of the previous few days has paid off at this time. Although the main store has not been renovated in a big way, the red silk, firecrackers and brand-new plaques have not been discounted at all. It's festive and inviting.

With this large store as the foundation, most of the people who wanted to carry the letter and bring things immediately left with the original sense of unsteadiness.

The other half of the doubts also disappeared because the headquarters of the letter bureau was located not far from the Tongzhou Mansion.

People are talking about the reliability of Chengyun delivery.

Yes, who wants to cheat people and things, will run to the yamen to cheat? To put it mildly, it means that I don't live comfortably and want to eat some prison food.

Onlookers asked about the delivery details, and some simply agreed on the departure time of Chengyun delivery and ran back to prepare packages and letters.

Next, it's time to pick up the package.

As the time for the departure of Chengyun from north to south is approaching, the general number of Chengyun delivery finally ushered in a substantial hustle and bustle.

The number of customers who deliver parcels is gradually increasing, and all matters related to receiving parcels are the focus of work.

To receive a package, it is not only necessary to pack it well, but more importantly, to fill in the details such as the name and address of the recipient and sender correctly.

Expecting that there would be more customers two days before departure, Yuan Dongchu hired two people on the street to write letters on their behalf, and they wrote the delivery information of the package.

The rest, such as receiving, packing, and pasting delivery information, were all done by Gu Tiancheng with his brothers.
