Chapter Ninety-Seven: Thriving
On this day, the "Shunfeng Logistics" under the Invincible Sect Logistics Hall officially opened.
A huge three-sided three-dimensional signboard stands on top of a warehouse on the wharf in Tanxian County, and the size of this signboard is the size of a large house. The boats on the water can be seen from a great distance.
The sign is engraved with the logo "Shunfeng", and in the center of the largest place is engraved a sailboat with the word "wind" on the sail. There are also two distinct patterns carved underneath, one of which looks like a large fist, while the other is a spear head.
Look at the seal character below: Shunfeng, jointly produced by the Invincible Sect Silver Spear Gate!
The people of Tan County no longer feel strange and disagreeable when they look at this newly erected sign, after all, they have seen it in the livable flagship store for a long time.
On the dock, businessman Chang Xiaoxue stepped off the boat, saw the "tailwind" sign at a glance, and asked a guy next to him very curiously.
The fellow was small in stature, but his clothes were noticeably different from those of the other coolies. The other coolies seemed to be looking at him, and this man was a small leader.
"Young man, why does this dock look different?" Chang Xiaoxue asked politely.
"Yo, this boss! Hello!"
Dwarf Melon was originally a dock coolie and belonged to Wu Wei's original small gang. In the past, these merchants never looked at him squarely. But now he has followed Wu Wei's chicken dog to heaven, and has become the "terminal customer service specialist" of Shunfeng Logistics, leading more than a dozen temporary workers!
Today he changed into a uniform dress with a good wind, although the clothes are a little bigger, but the material is good. He looked like a dog and finally recruited people to meet him once.
"Boss, what's the matter with you? I know everything about the tailwind!" the dwarf melon was very polite, and the training he received a few days ago was to answer the doubts of the merchants at the dock and lure them into the tailwind.
"I see that the people on the dock seem to have changed a batch, but what happened?" Chang Xiaoxue asked the first doubt.
Dwarf melon has long been told that the affairs of the Iron Jiao Gang cannot be hidden, but it is not to be said much. He pinched it for a moment, and then replied, "The original group of people is from the Tiejiao Gang, and you also know that they have been bullying the market and sitting on the ground. Now that they have been wiped out by unknown knights due to the contradictions in the rivers and lakes, the docks in Tanxian County are now clear. There's no Iron Jiao anymore!"
Chang Xiaoxue looked at the orderly scene around him, nodded and said, "It's indeed a lot more orderly than before." Young man, what's that 'tailwind' in front of you?"
Dwarf melon doesn't need to look back to know what Chang Xiaoxue is referring to, "Now the manager of the Tanxian wharf is 'Shunfeng Logistics', and the small one is a small steward of Shunfeng Logistics." But you don't have to worry, our Shunfeng logistics is jointly operated by three companies, the price is fair, and the service is comprehensive!"
Chang Xiaoxue rubbed his eyes, and looked at the signboard carefully - the Invincible Sect Silver Spear Gate co-production, this seems to be two families?
"Dare to ask, where are the three families?"
The dwarf melon pretended to smile honestly, "In addition to the Invincible Sect of the Great Owner Family and the Silver Spear Gate of the Second Owner, in fact, there is also a share of the official camp of Tan County in this tailwind!"
Chang Xiaoxue was stunned, "Can the government still do business?"
In addition to paying taxes, Shunfeng Logistics will donate one-tenth of its net profits to the Tan County Government every year, and the government will help Shunfeng as a guarantee!"
"Isn't this a collusion between officials and businessmen?" Chang Xiaoxue reminded in a whisper. "What kind of business do you do that still need a guarantee?"
"Oops, look at my brain, I forgot to introduce our main business to the boss!"
Chang Xiaoxue was quite speechless, and said in his heart that you are new here!
Shunfeng Logistics now offers a total of three main businesses.
First, wharf loading and unloading, as well as freight transportation in Tan County.
Second, warehousing turnover, provide goods storage.
Third, the waterway dart, but the line is currently only from Tanxian to Beijing.
The last two of these three services will be issued by the government to issue a guarantee document, once a problem occurs during the period and the interests of the customer are damaged, Shunfeng Logistics will pay compensation. And the Invincible Sect used as a guarantee collateral turned out to be a livable flagship store!
Businessmen who often travel to Tan County know that the livable flagship store in Tan County is the most profitable business this year. Someone with good deeds once estimated the revenue of the Livable flagship store in the months since it opened - it turned out to be as much as 10,000 taels.
Chang Xiaoxue was shocked when he heard this, "The Invincible Sect is so big!"
In fact, Guan Chang can take out 1,000 taels of silver as collateral. But he felt that in this way, the sincerity was there, but the shock was not enough. So as soon as his brain was hot, he used the livable flagship store as a mortgage.
"This steward, can you take me to the wind to have a look?" Chang Xiaoxue said, taking out a few copper plates from his sleeve to give to the dwarf melon.
The dwarf melon hurriedly shook his head and said, "Boss, our Invincible Sect has many business rules, so we don't like this." Besides, the little one is here to show you this way, this way to go!"
......
On the same day, Yuetan Fang.
There is a signboard in front of the livable flagship store! Soap trial, laundry no need to beat!
Half a month ago, Guan Chang personally led the research hall to "invent" the first product that changed the world - soap.
The principle of soap is simple, and the raw materials are not difficult to find. It is easy to make a bar of soap, but if you want to mass-produce, it takes a lot of work.
The price of raw materials is still a bit expensive according to the market price, and the quantity is not enough. Guan Chang wanted to do a large business, so he asked someone to contact the most basic source supplier, which took more than ten days of work.
At the same time, Guan Chang had to recruit purely productive disciples—that is, workshop workers, most of whom were relatives of outer disciples. To put it nicely, it is called that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and to say that the monk can run away from the temple.
In addition, for the sake of technical secrecy, Guan Chang split the soap processing process into several steps and scattered them into independent small workshops. Two of the workshops were even doing something else entirely, just to keep it a cover.
Until yesterday, the soap workshop produced a total of 700 bars of soap. Among them, 600 pieces have been encapsulated and will be transported by Shunfeng Logistics to Beijing by water. Yin Zhengyang sent a letter to Yin Zhengfeng, hoping that he could use the relationship of the secret spy department to send this soap into the palace, and give priority to the princes and nobles to try.
At this time, there is a hot spot in front of the livable flagship store - the water is hot. I saw ten wooden basins lined up in the center of the street of Yuetanfang, and hundreds of women or maids were lining up to wash their hands and handkerchiefs.
Several women rubbed their hands together and looked at the wonderful bubbles.
"Ah, the mud on this hand will be washed off, and you don't need to pick it!"
"You see, this veil is much cleaner when you rub it together. ”
"This soap is a good thing, and it smells good. ”
"This bubble is also beautiful, I wonder if this thing can be used to wash my body?"
"Livable things are expensive, and you have to see if you can afford them. ”
"I've heard that this soap is very cheap, ten cents a piece. ”
"It's not cheap, but it's easy to use, I don't know how long a bar of soap will last. ”
"Can you stop talking about the ones in front, hurry up and finish washing, there are still people waiting in the back!"
