Chapter 177 Traffic Charges
Two days later it will be New Year's Eve, and Lin Gui wondered why Jiang Kui wanted to come to him at this time.
The other former pirate leaders were also very puzzled. Jiang Kui was usually busy with his own affairs. The Confucius Institute had already consumed a lot of energy and had to write lyrics and make music. He never cared about what the pirates were doing in the past.
What happened today?
A bunch of former pirates were guided all the way to the Confucius Institute, cursing all the way, and finally gathered in a conference room.
Not bad, the oval conference table was filled with fruit and snacks. When this group of unqualified people took a scattered seat, a maid immediately served tea. A guy took the opportunity to tease the maid. It was not until Jiang Kui appeared at the door and coughed heavily that the vulgar plot did not continue.
Then, Lin Gui saw Chen Liang.
Lin Gui had met Chen Liang. Mr. Jiang Kui and Mr. Jiang were easy to talk, but Chen Liang was born with a sense of being arrogant without anger. Lin Gui was originally sitting in a very indecent manner, but when he saw Chen Liang coming in, he immediately stood up to salute. When the others saw Lin Gui like this, they stood up to salute.
A group of unruly guys sat down respectfully. They understood that it would be better to be more sensible when Chen Liang came to him today. Legend has it that Chen Liang always said one thing in Annan Cham. He could stop your coal transportation business with just one word. It would be better not to provoke him.
Jiang Kui gave a simple opening remark:
"Today, Director Chen invites you to come. There is an unusual good thing to tell you. Please be careful, please listen to Director Chen announce this good news for us."
Chen Liang glanced at these people. The people present felt that Chen Liang's sharp eyes were swept away, and his heart was shaking. He thought that it was not necessary to collect benefits before the New Year. When these people were pirates, they always wanted to grab a vote before the New Year. Naturally, they thought that Chen Liang wanted to take advantage of the New Year to kill a vote before the New Year. According to this attitude, they were naturally the literary priests, not the martial priests, but they were all priests. Everyone could not say that they had to pretend to be voluntarily and willingly and happily be slaughtered.
Chen Liang also felt that he was not very friendly just now, so he changed his smile and said:
"Brothers, after washing your hands this year, your business is good! As far as Chen knows, you have a lot more people and more boats than before. You can transport coal from Annan and get back to the Song Dynasty. I think everyone here should make a fortune!"
The people here heard this and thought that it was indeed the opening remark of the Killing Slaughter.
"Everyone is rich. In other words, the first thing you should thank is Mr. Jiang. Without Mr. Jiang, you are still a bunch of thieves. Remember, Mr. Jiang told you not to be afraid anymore, and they all did a legitimate business. Congratulations on having such good luck!"
The people below say that the more you say this, the more money you will need. Please! Just bet and say how much you want!
"I would like to invite you today. First, I want to remind you that this year's business is good, but next year may not be so good. Do you know? Many ship owners in Quanzhou heard that the business of coal transporting here is good, and they are interested in transporting coal after the New Year. In my opinion, once there are more ships coming, the business of coal transporting may not be so easy to do. Do you think this is the case!"
These guys who were originally pirates are of course very informative. After hearing Chen Liang's words, some people couldn't help but nod.
"I want to follow you and announce something first, which is related to coal transportation after the New Year. After the New Year, you have to undertake coal transportation business, and it can't be so messy. You have to integrate and integrate into a company, and one company is responsible for the transportation, unified management, and unified freight rates. The coal transportation business after the New Year will be transported by three companies. The company you have jointly established here is one, Needless to say, Taisong Haimao, and there is also one, Quanzhou shipping company."
Damn! It's finally here! Not to mention that Quanzhou shipping company is coming to get a share of the pie, integration of this alone is very fatal. Although Lin Gui is the most powerful, there are many people who don't buy Lin Gui's account. It's not easy to integrate into a company! These people who are not in harmony with Lin Gui think it's difficult to deal with this. Among them, He Zhu and Lin Gui can't pee in the same pot, and suddenly feel that this matter is very scammed. However, everyone knows that Chen Liang has absolute authority in the coal transportation matter, and no one dares to interrupt or question it casually.
"In addition, I am ugly, if anyone dares to do pirates in the past, he will not be able to get along with Quanzhou Shipping Company. Humph, the iron ships built by the Duke of the State are not vegetarians. If anyone dares to be unjust, he will be killed without mercy!"
Chen Liang said this sentence in a stern voice, and the people sitting there were shocks again. Someone was making this idea and wanted to use Panwai Tap to plot against newly intervened shipping merchants, which made them unable to continue. Suddenly, he heard Chen Liang's solemn warning and thought that he had really built an iron ship. Only Chen Liang's novels have written about the iron ship. It is said that he killed the wooden ships in the world. It seems that there is no need to think about Panwai Tap.
Chen Liang saw that everyone looked nervous at this moment, and smiled and said:
"Don't be polite brothers, come on, use the desserts and fruits on the table at will. For the New Year, you are invited to come here for a good thing, so don't be nervous. I also told you that after the New Year and Lantern Festival, Mr. Jiang will invite you to a whale feast."
Lin Gui was in a good mood, but his heart was up and down at this time. He had no idea what Chen Liang was thinking, so he asked tentatively:
"Director Chen, I don't know what good news is?"
When Chen Liang saw that these guys had almost beaten, he laughed and said:
"My brothers sitting, has anyone ever eaten whale meat?"
Everyone shook their heads and thought to themselves, what is the purpose of you talking about this suddenly!
Chen Liang thought to himself, I have never eaten it, but today I have to start with this whale:
"Did you hear that the Golden Ding went to the Essay Island, where they made a fortune. Have you heard of it?"
All of this nodded.
The people of Taiwan Song Haimao spread the news that the Golden Cauldron went to the Heiyi Island to make a fortune all over the world, and everyone sitting there heard of it.
"As far as I know, the whale meat tastes very good, well, very delicious! But what I want to tell you today is not a question of whether the whale meat tastes good or not. What I want to say is that whales can make people rich, and that's the key."
When the audience heard that they got rich, a gleam flashed in their eyes, but then they thought that whales could get rich, which has something to do with us!
Chen Liang finally got to the point:
"Maybe you don't know that after the Golden Ding arrived at the Heiyi Island, you made a big profit of 100,000 yuan in the first month. I heard that the second month should not be less than 200,000 yuan. Most of this is given by whales."
When Chen Liang said this, his expression suddenly became mysterious:
"Do you know? Ambergris comes from whales."
The people in the audience nodded. Chen Liang didn’t need to say this. This is almost a well-known secret. Is there little that Taiwan Song Haimao people spread?
"It's hard to say anything else about Essay Island, but it can't stand the abundant whales. Why are whales abundant? There is a point in this. There are two ocean currents on Essay Island, one is a hot current and the other is an ice current. Do you know that the fish in the sea like the most is to get along with each other in the cold and hot currents. Therefore, there are countless fish on Essay Island, which is the world's largest fish farm. As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and whales eat small fish. Since there are countless fish in Essay Island, there are naturally more whales there."
The audience was surprised. It turned out that fish have this kind of hobby! They actually like to warm water while warm water. Is it true? It's really a bit of knowledge! Some of them have figured out the reason why fish have this habit. Well, it must be that fish like cold during the day and warm at night, and the sun is exposed to the sun during the day. Of course, they have to stay in cold water. When it is cool at night, they naturally have to go to the warm water.
The reason why Hokkaido, also known as Hokkaido, has become the world's largest fishing ground, is of course not what Chen Liang said. That is because the Qiandao cold current and Japanese warm current converge in Hokkaido. The intersection of cold and warm current causes disturbances in the sea water. The overflowing sea water brings nutrients to the surface of the ocean, making plankton flourish unprecedentedly, and thus provides rich bait for fish. This is the reason why a large number of fish need to settle down here. In addition, the intersection of cold and warm currents can create "water barriers" to prevent fish from swimming, which is conducive to the formation of large fishing grounds. Because of these two reasons, Hokkaido has become the world's largest fishing ground.
Chen Liang just heard Mao Geng briefly say it, but he didn't understand the reason, but it did not affect his free performance.
While sitting and listening to Chen Liang's fooling, he didn't think anything was wrong. The audience only admired Chen Liang. Chen Liang really wrote a novel, and he could read it in a flash. However, as the saying goes, he wrote a thousand words and left a thousand miles away. When Chen Liang opened his mouth, he was even more confused. I wonder when this way of talking about things today will be involved in the main business.
"Everyone, you must be thinking in your heart that what does the whale matter have to do with you? I, Chen Liang, want you to go to the Emily Island? Haha, I don't mean that, the court has already made arrangements for Emily Island. But what I want to tell you is that in addition to Emily Island, there is actually another place that is rich in whales."
"Where?", someone asked, and everyone was intrigued.
Chen Liang did not say anything at this time, but drew a picture on the blackboard.
"Please look, right here, this is also a fishing ground with a lot of whales."
Chen Liang refers to the Bay of Bengal.
"If we were too far away before this, even if we knew that whales were abundant here, we could only sigh. It would take more than half a year to go there just on the sea, but now we have a chance."
"Oh!", the following is a signal of benign interaction, which is obviously the person who yearns for whale ambergris and then expects to get rich overnight, and has sent an expected response.
"This is the good news I want to bring to you, because our West China Construction Company will soon be able to take over here - the Kra Isthmus. Have you seen that the narrowest place is the Kra Isthmus. The east coast and the west coast are only a hundred miles apart. Our West China Construction Company has a grand plan. The first year is to build a road to connect the east and west coasts. After this road is repaired, ports will be built on the east coast and the west coast. I think, just like the Halong Bay here, it will surely prosper quickly, because not only is the whale fishing ground within reach, but also the business with Tianzhu can be increased from once a year to more than three times a year. Think about it, Tianzhu's commerce is a more profitable transaction! Once more transactions will make twice the profit, three times the past. Do you want to join?"
He Zhu thought to himself that since we couldn't get along with Lin Gui, why not just look at the opportunity there, and then said:
"Director Chen, how do you join?"
"Of course, our West China Construction Company built the roads in vain. This road will be a paid horse carriage lane, four-wheeled horse carriage. Haha, 'If you want to pass from now on, stay and buy road wealth', you can make two or three times more profitable in Tianzhu business, and merchants will not care about paying some tolls. We plan to set up a joint-stock company, called Malay Transport Holdings. Malay Transport Holdings built the Kara Road in the first year, and then will further build the Kara Canal. Of course, this canal is also charged. In short, it is guaranteed that Malay Transport Holdings can make a lot of money."
"If you want to live from now on, you can stay and buy wealth." It is very popular with the people below. They are doing this. The "Malay" font is also very suitable, so you can build a road!
"As long as you are willing, you can become a shareholder of Malay Transport Holdings, and you can also convert some shares according to the number of young and strong people you participate in! You guys say, is this a great thing!"
Finally, Chen Liang said:
"Start the stock offering after the New Year, please think carefully! Come to me if you think about it."
Chapter completed!
