Chapter 169: Complicity

For a large business such as "Fu Ruifeng", the establishment of various production, supply and marketing channels, relying on the price difference generated in the commodity circulation link is the main way to make profits, but it is not the only way. In addition to the name of "Fu Ruifeng", there are also hotels, restaurants, restaurants and even scattered in the countryside near Guangzhou.

As long as it is a profitable transaction, the first consideration of "Frefeng" is whether its profitability is worth intervening in, not whether the business has been done before. Just like the 1,000 catties of illicit salt that the Yazhou branch shipped back to Guangzhou the previous time, although "Furuifeng" has not trafficked illicit salt before, this does not prevent them from getting involved in this extremely lucrative industry from now on. Similarly, there is also the arms business, which is completely a temporary deal that Li Nai has been talking about, but this business adheres to the consistent business principle of "Fu Ruifeng", as long as it is a business that can make a lot of money, it will not be let go.

And when Li Nai set foot on the land of Shengli Port, he had already paid attention to the planning of this port. Li Nai's knowledge is much wider than Wei Ping's small patrol inspection that has been nesting in Yazhou, from Guangzhou Bay to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he has set foot in almost all the big ports, and he can naturally tell that the scale of the construction of Shengli Port is definitely not the level of ordinary fishing village wharves or private ports for merchants, and this also reflects from the side that the Haihan people have a bigger and more long-term plan for Shengli Port.

Before coming to Shengli Port, Li Nai once thought that the refined salt and glass products sold by the Haihan people were bought from the Western Fan people in the South China Sea, but after coming here, he quickly overturned this idea, since the Haihan people could make guns and cannons on their own, it was not surprising that they had the ability to produce refined salt and glass products. Li Nai believed that the Haihan people would be able to turn Shengli Port into the most prosperous port on the southern tip of Qiongzhou Island within a few years.

The most important thing is that the Haihan people have guns and cannons, as well as a militia organization that is infinitely similar to the army, which gives them enough self-protection ability, whether it is the pirates of the South China Sea or the Yazhou government, they don't want to intervene in the affairs here. And the situation of the inspection department that Li Nai saw afterwards also confirmed this.

Without the intervention of the local government, the local people's sentiment is very stable, and in addition to the Haihan Executive Committee, a very powerful but very disciplined local manager, where can he find a port like Shengli Port that is suitable for smuggling trade? Li Nai believes that this is simply a godsend, and if his own firm does not seize the time to settle down here as soon as possible, and wait for the Haihan people to develop and grow in a year or two, I am afraid that it will be difficult to intervene in this place.

Of course, before making relevant requests to the Haihan people, out of prudence, it is still necessary to know more about the situation here from the side. Li Nai initially wanted to get some information from the mouths of ordinary people, but when he saw that the children who were no more than three feet tall had learned to say things like "serve the Executive Committee", he decisively dismissed the original idea. If you really want to inquire about the news from those people, maybe you will be arrested directly by the Haihan people as spies, and there is no official government here that can slowly file a lawsuit, everything is decided by the Haihan Executive Committee, Li Nai doesn't want to take too much risk for this kind of thing.

Then, in addition to the general public, Li Nai's choice of inquiry object is probably only the Inspection Division. Li Nai concluded from his observations that although these people in the Inspection Department seemed to have "succumbed" to the management of the Haihan people, it seemed that there was still a gap between them and the Haihan people, and the two parties should not have colluded to form a caliber. So as soon as he seized the opportunity in the morning, Li Nai took the initiative to talk to Wei Ping, hoping that he would open a breakthrough here. But he never expected that Wei Ping actually had a similar mind to him, counting on being able to borrow strength from "Fu Ruifeng" to complete his own plan.

Wei Ping was silent for a long time, and saw that Li Nai and He Qiang were both in deep thought and silent for a long time, and just as his subordinates had already brought breakfast, he coughed dryly and said, "Two, breakfast has been delivered, let's talk while eating." ā€

Li He and the others came back to their senses and thanked them again and again and took over the breakfast. Wei Ping waved his hand, and his subordinates retreated in amusement.

The content of breakfast was just very ordinary gruel, steamed buns and pickles, but the three of them didn't seem to be on it. In the end, Wei Ping couldn't hold his breath and said: "From what I have seen since I came here, the plan of the Haihan people is very great, and this place will definitely gradually prosper in the future, and there will definitely be many opportunities to make a fortune." ā€

"Wei Patrol Gao Jian!" Li Nai echoed: "This place is a natural harbor, and the Haihan people are well managed, in time, more merchants will come here to trade, and it is just around the corner to become a big port." He also intends to set up a warehouse here, and do some business along the way, but it's just ......"

"Just how?" Wei Ping immediately replied as soon as he heard the game.

"It's just that the affairs here are decided by the Haihan Executive Committee, and I am still a little uneasy. Li Nai pretended to hesitate. At this time, if he hadn't seen that Wei Ping had other intentions, then so many years of family inheritance would have been in vain.

Sure enough, Wei Ping comforted: "If Young Master Li is worried about this, I have a solution." ā€

Li Nai responded: "What is the best way to inspect Wei, you might as well talk about it." ā€

"How about this business is carried out by me in cooperation with your firm?" Wei Ping asked straight to the point: "Whether it is a warehouse, a hotel, or a restaurant, I can also let the inspection department take care of it a little bit, so that Li Gongzi must be able to rest assured." ā€

Li Nai said in his heart, you took the initiative to come up, but it saved me a lot of trouble. Sharing some profits from the business to the Inspection Division, Li Nai doesn't care, in fact, even if Wei Ping doesn't mention it, he already has this plan. Although the Haihan people have developed very well here, who knows what will happen in the future? Will the government take back this place and expel the Haihan people? At that time, "Fu Ruifeng" will have the shield of the local inspection department, and it will be able to protect the interests of "Fu Ruifeng" in the locality.

Speaking of which, the intentions of both parties are already obvious, and the next step is nothing more than some detailed discussions on cooperation. The only focus of dispute is in the future benefit distribution ratio, although Wei Ping wants to adhere to the principle of five or five open, but because he does not have much cash in his hand to invest, most of the capital contribution still depends on the "Fu Ruifeng" side, and finally he can only reluctantly agree to Li Nai's proposal to open the construction of three seven to build yƬ, "Fu Ruifeng" side to share seventy percent of the local operating income, and Wei Ping and the inspection department to share the remaining three percent.

In addition, there are many details that need to be discussed slowly by both parties, such as business projects, personnel arrangements, division of responsibilities, time and method of settlement, etc., which is also quite time-consuming.

Tao Donglai and Schneider stood on the wall of the No. 1 base, paying attention to the small movements of these people.

Tao Donglai said: "This Li Nai is really a little dishonest, you didn't let him have more contact with Wei Ping yesterday, but today you seized the opportunity to get up." ā€

Schneider smiled: "This is also normal, although he is here to do smuggling business, but the inherent concept of trust in the government is still more, if he is not allowed to deal with the inspection department, I am afraid he will not be able to let go of the heart to cooperate with us in depth." ā€

"You're calculating. Tao Donglai shook his head helplessly and said: "I just hope that they don't discuss what the hell is going on, if Li Nai comes to help Wei Ping escape from here, then we will really not be able to deal with it." ā€

"That Young Master Li is not stupid, he will not do such a thing that is not beneficial to himself. Schneider was confident in his calculations: "In my opinion, he must have had something else in mind about our place." ā€

"Oh?" Tao Donglai said with a smile: "Then it seems that our investment promotion plan is about to be launched." ā€

"I think there's a good chance. Schneider said: "If we go to Guangzhou to do business, we will also look for a foothold in the local area first, just like we did in Yazhou." A mature firm like 'Fu Ruifeng' will definitely consider this issue, and if Li Nai does not consider it in this direction, I will doubt the sincerity of his cooperation. ā€

"Then let them talk slowly, and when they are done, they will go to the Yanchang Commune according to today's schedule. Tao Donglai patted Schneider on the shoulder and said, "You keep an eye first, I'll go and see if the equipment needed by the Yanchang Commune is ready." ā€

The renovation project of Yanchang Commune has been ongoing, and up to now, the land has been leveled and a cement bottom salt pond with an area of more than 200 acres has been rebuilt, which has greatly improved the production efficiency and actual output. The previously fully manual seawater lifting and irrigation device is also beginning to be gradually transformed into a new equipment that uses wind power and animal power as energy. Today, when I take the merchants to visit the Yanchang Commune, I will transport two sets of the latest wind power irrigation equipment to the company for installation. As for the steam-powered irrigation equipment that Coach Anxi is waiting for, due to the lack of production capacity of the relevant departments, it cannot be manufactured for the time being, and it will not be possible to assemble it until the first half of next year at the earliest.

After half an hour, the three of them finally ended their discussion, and Wei Ping returned to the small courtyard of the Inspection Division with a satisfied expression. Schneider came out to greet Li Nai and He Qiang, and asked them to follow him to the dock to take a boat trip.

Schneider pointed to a pile of utensils that the laborers were carrying onto the ship: "These things are all production equipment to be transported to the salt works for installation, and they need to be loaded onto the ship first, so let's wait for a while." ā€

Li Naiqi said: "Isn't this salt field in Victory Harbor?"

Schneider smiled: "Although it is not here, it is not far away, and you will know when you go." ā€
