Chapter 133: Prospects
Yuan Dongchu also pondered about the office location, not considering Gu Tiancheng's wandering eyes, Chengyun really needed an office place.
If it's just a few small boats to do the work, shouting a few times on the dock, and being willing to spend a few small dollars, ask the Chinese people, and the business will be done.
But Chengyun now has four medium-sized ships that can travel long distances, and their goals are much more than that. After the delivery of gifts and letters in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival, coupled with advertisements posted in various places, the number of deliveries has increased significantly.
The sorting and delivery of parcels are either in the shed by the dock or at her house, which is very inconvenient and irregular.
"Why don't you deal with it for a while? We're a little short of money. Yuan Dongchu discussed.
During this time, some money was made from transportation and delivery, but a lot of money has been spent on posting advertisements in various places. Although you can't give much to stick to a family, you can't stand it and add up to a lot.
As they gradually increase the number of delivery locations, especially in prosperous towns, the number of advertisements posted is also increasing.
Before people made delivery a daily routine, these expenses had to be paid out every month.
Although they still have money on hand, they always have some to save for daily mobility and emergencies.
Gu Tiancheng didn't care: "Don't worry about the silver, right?" Our poster was posted, and the effect was very obvious, and the packages I saw gradually increased. As the weather cools down, some families begin to prepare winter and New Year's clothes, and there are many people who entrust us to buy things on our behalf. The rent of the house in Muliang Town is not much, so it is really nothing. ”
He is confident about the future.
Yuan Dongchu came up with the reason for what to call it and advertise it widely, but the brothers didn't understand it at first. It's not easy for big guys to get together to make money, so why give people so much silver.
It was he who listened to Yuan Dongchu's narration and felt that he could give it a try, so he was able to implement it with his support.
But after a few days, the benefits are particularly obvious, not only more delivery business, but also easier to do than before.
The business is becoming more and more prosperous, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make money from those posters?
Yuan Dongchu was hesitating, but when Gu Tiancheng said this, he was immediately shaken: "Then rent one?" "Being good as a stream is always a good quality, and it must be carried forward.
Gu Tiancheng looked around, he was young and young, standing with the three girls and talking endlessly, and being looked at twice by the uncles and aunts passing by, it was really not very comfortable.
Especially related to the image of the beginning of winter in the eyes of the neighbors, it cannot be ignored.
I don't have a chance to talk about serious things, let alone anything else, what is this called?
Gu Tiancheng waved his hand depressedly and said, "There is still something to do, when I come back with my uncle, we will discuss it again." ”
Yuan Dongchu nodded, and the two said goodbye.
Although Yuan Changhe settled down by the dock, a large part of the reason was to have a place to discuss things, but Yuan Changhe had to be at home.
Otherwise, she is a girl at home, even if Xiuchun and Xiaocui are there from time to time, but there are often brothers who work at the dock in and out of the house, it is estimated that it will not be long before her reputation is gone, but also Xiuchun and Xiaocui.
No matter how serious it is, being promoted by people with bad intentions will affect even the business of the river, so we really have to be cautious.
Gu Tiancheng really had something to do, and after a short time, he settled the river operation and delivery affairs properly, and he and Yuan Changhe came back with Xiaoman, Zhou Shan and a few others.
A few people sat down, and Yuan Dongchu, Xiuchun, and Xiaocui poured tea for them, and also sat aside.
Gu Tiancheng meant, now that there are more and more delivery businesses, and there are people who buy items on their behalf, they still follow the ship randomly like now, which is very unstable.
He wanted to draw out two boats, whether it was to carry delivery goods or freight, and no matter how many, to travel back and forth on the river between Tongzhou and Pingzhou on a regular basis.
When Yuan Dongchu thought about it, he also strongly agreed.
In this era, when transporting goods, except for government offices or government commissions, other ships are going wherever they get their goods.
But Chengyun delivery is a parcel delivery, which is very different. If it can be delivered on a fixed route and at a fixed time, it is very beneficial to the smooth operation of delivery.
The two ships travel on a fixed line, and in addition to the parcels and letters delivered on the ship, they must also carry a large amount of goods. If you only travel in two places, it will narrow down the scope of your business, but the benefits are obvious.
As long as it is done, no matter whether there is cargo or not, no matter how much cargo is loaded, the ship will depart regularly.
After operating for a period of time, this kind of itinerary is fixed, and there is no need to work, and there are shippers who ship goods to these two places, and they will find it on their own.
Similar to the scheduled departure of modern vehicles, shippers even schedule their cargo according to the departure time of the cargo ship.
Liu Qiyuan and Zhou Shan were originally just convinced by Gu Tiancheng. Since contacting Yuan Changhe's father and daughter, Yuan Dongchu's many suggestions have had good results, and these brothers also have a different kind of trust in Yuan Dongchu.
Gu Tiancheng proposed, Yuan Dongchu analyzed it again, and such obvious benefits, needless to say, it was settled.
Although freight and delivery are back and forth between Tongzhou and Pingzhou, Muliang Town still can't be abandoned, and this is the foundation of their business after all.
Moreover, this section of the river has a stable flow, and it is also the main road of the river, and there are large open spaces around and on the opposite bank.
In the future, no matter where the main ship of Chengyun is located, Muliang Town will be used as a base for the rectification and maintenance of all ships of Chengyun.
Things were quickly agreed, and Gu Tiancheng's plan, coupled with Yuan Dongchu's explanation of modern management, gave Chengyun's development a clearer goal and prospects.
Not only Yuan Changhe, Zhou Shan and others were extremely excited, but even Xiuchun and Xiaocui, who were auditing, were also more confident and had a farther and deeper hope for the future.
Maybe they don't have to live a lifetime like grandma and mother. They don't have to wait for their husbands' hard-earned wages to make a living, and they don't care about the poverty of their families.
With such a good prospect of Chengyun, with Yuan Dongchu as an example, they can also come out to work hard to make money, and they can also have their own ability to let the family live a good life.
After the matter was discussed, the next step was to make preliminary preparations, with Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu making adjustments.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhou Shan and the two brothers in charge, as well as Xiaoman and a few others got up to say goodbye.
Gu Tiancheng sat still and didn't move.
Zhou Shan and the others looked at him with a look that was immediately wrong.
Gu Tiancheng was greatly impressed: "Lao Tzu stayed because there were other things to discuss." If anything happens to you, stay and say. ”
Looking at the eyes of a few people, it was obvious that they didn't believe it. But being stared at by Gu Tiancheng and very weak-hearted, they really had nothing else to do.
No way, let's go.
Several people dispersed in a hurry, and they could faintly hear the faint boos.
Gu Tiancheng looked back at Yuan Changhe, his face was embarrassed: "These boys just don't clean up." ”
Let's not talk about whether to clean up or not, anyway, Yuan Changhe's eyes when he looked at Gu Tiancheng were also full of suspicion.
