Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

When Lu Wei saw the boat parked at the pier, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He thought that the shop clerk said that their boat was not big, which was a modest statement. But now it seems that it is not at all. It is parked at the pier, but It is a small boat with about 100 materials. A small boat like this is really nothing here in Qingdu City.

Lu Wei still had some guesses about the owner of the Zhaojiaguan store. The owner must be a rich man, otherwise it would be impossible for him to just buy such a big house and convert it into an inn. The original idea was that for someone like the owner of Zhaojia Inn, if they wanted to enter the transportation industry, the boat he bought would definitely not be small, but he didn't know that the boat he bought was really that small. This really made Lu Wei Very surprised.

Besides being small, this ship was actually a semi-new old ship, not a new one. This really made Lu Wei not know what to say, but he was already here, and he was really in a hurry to get back. home, so he could only get on the boat to take a look. If the boat was not too bad, he would have to go home on this boat.

When he boarded the ship along the gangplank, he realized that the ship was in good condition. Some of the crew members on the ship were all wearing uniforms and were busy with what they were doing. The ship was also cleaned very clean. Those crew members were When they saw someone coming up, they all saluted him. This behavior also made Lu Wei feel better.

At this time, a man who was better dressed than the other crew members walked up to Lu Wei. He saluted Lu Wei and said, "Hello, sir. I am the first mate on this ship. I will lead you to visit the Xiaoyu." , if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me and I will definitely answer it for you.”

Lu Wei nodded. This was similar to the style of Zhao's Inn. Everyone was polite and made people feel very comfortable. Lu Wei followed the first mate to visit this small ship. This ship was just an ordinary cargo ship. Although there were some areas on the ship for people to stay and rest, the environment was really not very good and the rooms were very small. , only a small bed and a small table, nothing else.

However, Lu Wei doesn't have any objections to this. He takes other ships, and the situation is actually similar. Sometimes he may not even have such a separate room, and can only sleep in a large bunk, just to save a little money on the ship, so The conditions on this ship are not good at all.

Lu Wei looked at the first mate and said, "I want to ask, if I want to transport goods and have my own ticket, how much will it cost to get to Xu Mucheng?" Lu Wei knew very well that if the price of this ship is different from other If the price of the boat is similar, then he will take this boat. Now he has no other choice.

The first mate immediately said to Lu Wei: "Please rest assured, sir, our ship price is definitely not expensive. From Qingdu City to Xu Mucheng, plus your cargo does not exceed ten stones and the volume does not exceed one foot, then the ship price is only Five taels of silver, these five taels of silver include all your food and accommodation along the way. In fact, whether the conditions on the ship are good or not has nothing to do with you, because you almost don’t have to sleep on the ship every night. ."

Lu Wei looked at the man with some confusion and said, "What do you mean? Can you explain it to me more clearly?" He really didn't understand the meaning of the first officer's words. What does it mean that he won't sleep at night? On the boat? Although the ship has to dock at night to rest, people on the ship are generally not allowed to get off the ship. Is there any difference here?

The first mate smiled and said: "To tell you sir, the ships we use for general shipping are not big. One of the characteristics of such ships is that they are fast, which is faster than the big ships in the same boat. But if you travel a long distance, , there will be a lot of inconvenience, so our boats take short distances. It takes five days to go upstream from Qingdu City to Xumucheng. In these five days, we will pass through five large and small cities, and we It will stop at every city. For example, if you walk from Qingdu City to Xumucheng, the first stop after leaving Qingdu City is Qingshan City. Qingshan City is a small city, and the dock there is not very big. If it is a big ship If so, it would be impossible to reach Qingshan City on this day, because their speed would be slower. They would find a place to spend the night between Qingdu City and Qingshan City, so that the people on the boat would not be able to get off the boat and would only be able to stay on the boat. Rest, but we are different, our boat will be faster, we will sail directly to Qingshan City, and some of the goods we transport are to Qingshan City, so after our boat arrives at Qingshan City that night, we will We will rest in Qingshan City, and at the same time, all the cargo on the ship will be transported off the ship. Like you, sir, you can go to Qingshan City, our ship's inn, to rest, eat something, and have a good sleep. At the same time, your The goods will be unloaded from our boat and transported to the boat from Qingshan City to Qinghe City. The next morning, you can have breakfast at Qingshan City, and then take the boat from Qingshan City until Qinghe City, when you arrive at Qinghe City, you can still get off the boat and rest for a night. Your goods will be transferred to the boat in Qinghe City, and then go to the next city, all the way to Xu Mucheng. Although it seems like a lot of trouble. , but I promise you can have a good rest in an inn. After all, resting in an inn is always better than resting on a ship. And although your cargo is loaded and unloaded more often, we can guarantee that there will not be any damage. If there is any damage, we will be responsible for full compensation. The most important thing is that our shipping company has branches from Qingdu City to Sanshan City. If your goods are sent to Xu Mucheng, we will be responsible for bringing your goods to Xu Mucheng. The goods will be delivered directly to your store, and you don’t need to spend a penny more in the process. In other words, when you purchase goods in the future, you will even save money on hiring a carriage.”

The first mate said so much, but Lu Wei understood everything. He looked at the first mate and said: "In other words, as long as I pay five taels of silver, I can stay in the inn every night along the way. You can stay in a hotel and eat food without spending a penny more, right?"

The first mate nodded and said: "That's right. In fact, our shipping company also provides other services. For example, if you still want to purchase goods but you don't have time, you can directly find our shipping company in Xu Mucheng. Give the goods you want to buy to the branch there, and the branch there will send the list of goods you want to buy directly to Qingdu City, then put the goods in for you and deliver them to you. , after you make sure there are no problems, you can receive the goods and pay, so that you don’t need to buy goods here in Qingdu City next time. The money for hotel accommodation will also be saved. Of course, we will pay for the transportation of goods. You still have to pay, but because you don’t need to take a boat, the shipping fee will be much less. For example, you originally had to pay five taels of silver for the ship. If you only transport goods, you only need to pay three taels of silver for the ship. That’s it. As for the money for the goods, you can pay after you receive the money. If you feel that the goods do not meet your requirements, you don’t have to accept the goods. Of course, you don’t have to pay. But this must be the real deal here. Only if we make a mistake, if we find that it is not because we made a mistake, but because you deliberately did not want to receive the goods, then after three times of this situation, we will not cooperate with you, the entire Tongtu Shipping Company, or even Zhaojia Inn There will no longer be cooperation with you. In other words, you will no longer be able to stay at Zhao Hai Inn, nor will you be able to use the tooth shop at Zhao Hai Inn to help you buy goods. Of course, as long as this does not happen, situation, then our cooperation will continue without any problems."

Lu Wei looked at the first officer in shock and said, "Are you telling the truth? What if the goods I receive are obviously not what I want, but you insist on saying that they are what I want?" If you don't let us cooperate with you then, won't I suffer a big loss?"

The first mate smiled and said: "In fact, you didn't lose anything. If that happens, you will no longer cooperate with us or stay at Zhao's Inn. There is no other loss, and in your entrustment When we purchase goods, both of us will leave the purchase order. When the time comes, we will compare the goods with the purchase order. It will be clear who made the mistake in the end. You can even come to Qingdu City to inquire in person. If we help you If the imported goods are higher than the market price here in Qingdu City, then we will compensate according to the price."

At this point, the first mate paused for a moment, and then he smiled and said to Chuan Lu: "So, sir, you don't have to worry. In fact, you should also be able to hear it from my words. What we do is actually not just a transportation business." , and in a business like ours, the most important thing is credibility. If there is a problem with our credibility, then our business will not be able to continue, so you can rest assured."

Lu Ming looked at the first mate and said in a deep voice: "I understand everything you said, but I am very curious about one thing. You have given us so many discounts, so what do you expect to make money? ? Why didn’t I see how much money you can make from this? "

When the first mate heard what Lu Ming said, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Sir, you are really questioning me. I am just the first mate on the ship. What I told you is all the boss's." Tell me, I'm just responsible for telling you these words. If I really knew what our boss expected to make money, I might not be just a first mate now, not even a captain, don't you think? ?”

When Lu Ming heard what the other party said, he was stunned at first, but then he laughed loudly, and then he said to the first mate: "Yes, yes, you are right, so right. If you know how your boss makes money, I'm afraid you've already made your own money, and you won't be a first mate here. I still trust the owner of Zhao's Inn very much. He can afford to open such a big shop, so he shouldn't care about me like this. I am a little person, let's do this, I will leave my goods to you to transport, and I will take your ship back. Now you can send someone to estimate how much it will cost to transport my goods back." Lu Ming That's what he really thinks. He is just a small businessman. Compared with a big store like Zhao's Inn, he is far behind. In addition, he really couldn't afford to wait anymore, so he decided to take this boat home.
