Chapter 438: Distribution
Zhang Yunda just wants to sigh...
It's so fucking lucky!
Unexpectedly, a small decision from the past brought me such a great surprise.
What I didn't expect was that Xi Yunfei could hand over such a big stall to him.
There are 30,000 horses, even the court will envy such a large horse farm.
However, now everything is all arranged by myself. How lucky is it? How lucky is it! Zhang Yunda sighed repeatedly!
After Zhang Yunda confirmed to join the gang, the three of them made some adjustments to Yunda Logistics' plan.
First of all, the headquarters must be moved to Shuofang. Zhang Yunda’s stronghold in Tongzhou could only be used as a branch, and Zhang Yunda had no objection to this.
Even if Xi Yunfei didn't say it, Zhang Yunda would do this. After all, it was 30,000 horses. If it was placed in Tongzhou, it would probably be divided up by the court or aristocratic families within a few days, so it would be safer in Shuofang.
Secondly, manpower. Xi Yunfei could not provide too many manpowers, otherwise he would have integrated logistics resources by himself. Most of the idle people in Shuofang were arranged to build roads and spring farming, and the Chamber of Commerce paid for them. They received a fixed salary. Now, there are no lazy people in Shuofang, and they are busy everywhere.
Zhang Yunda expressed his understanding of this. Although no one is available in Shuofang, there are countless people who cannot eat in the entire Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the others, they are the old friends he met when he was a military soldier. They are all available talents. As long as he waves his arms and has the high-paid benefits provided by Xi Yunfei, he will definitely attract an available person and quickly expand the Yunda logistics team.
The last and most important point is security. The post stations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were mostly escort agencies and the predecessor of express delivery companies, but their main function was to convey letters. It was first used by rulers to control public opinion, information, and intelligence in various places.
Therefore, there is no security measure at the inn, so it doesn’t matter if you send letters on ordinary occasions. The bandits will not rob you of a piece of broken paper.
But in the future, more than just letters will be sent. Most of the time, the orders handled by Yunda Logistics are still delivered. The goods for bulk transactions are basically valuable and are most likely to be targeted by gangsters, so security measures are indispensable.
Zhang Yunda did not have this kind of resources. After all, he had run a station before, and there was still some official figure, and ordinary people could not intercept the official postal office... But if it were Yunda Logistics, there would be no official support, and the goods were expensive, they would definitely be targeted.
Xi Yunfei comforted Zhang Yunda, who was at a loss, and pointed to his elder brother Xi Junmai and made some arrangements. The Guardian Team has armed forces far beyond this era. However, the Guardian Team is not large in number, and it is even more impossible to fall to the point of delivery, so it can only play a deterrent role.
This requires Zhang Yunda to make good use of the power of the Guardian Team, how to kill the chicken and warn the monkey at the best time, and to keep those rogue bandits away from Yunda Logistics. Of course, if Zhang Yunda can be a human being, it is not impossible to give them a little filial piety to open the way for themselves.
After reaching a tacit understanding on these three points, Zhang Yunda couldn't wait to ask his colleagues to return to Tongzhou to inform him, and he was determined to settle down in Shuofang with his family.
Of course, Xi Yunfei expressed great support, so he immediately sent Zhang Yunda to the inner city and chose a good house for him to live in temporarily.
After arranging Zhang Yunda, Xi Yunfei and his elder brother parted ways. The elder brother was going to work on the engagement matters, and he had to go to the chamber of commerce to check the distribution situation.
······
Zhongshan North Road, Trade Hall.
"Everyone, once the Shangyuan period passes, the business road will be opened. Ma is here to wish you all the prosperity of your business and wealth!"
On the temporary high platform, Ma Zhou bowed his hand, which made the onlookers hurriedly bow to respond.
"I won't say much nonsense. At present, the Chamber of Commerce has accumulated 36 items of goods, twelve of which are exclusively represented by senior members of the Chamber of Commerce, and no public bidding is conducted... and twelve items require ordinary members to participate in the bidding, but the quantity is limited, but the quantity cannot meet the large-scale distribution... The remaining twelve items are not limited to qualifications. Although the quantity is also limited, we will try our best to meet everyone's distribution requirements."
As soon as Ma Zhou finished speaking, the onlookers started to make noise.
"Master Ma, what are the requirements for applying for a senior membership..."
"What are the restrictions on getting goods for ordinary members..."
"Which level of Xiangpan belongs to..."
"Can Thirteen Scent be supplied in large quantities this year..."
"What are the thirty-six items..."
“…”
The merchants in the audience spoke enthusiastically, which made the entire trade hall buzz, but Ma Zhou did not reach out to interrupt everyone's question, but took a cup of hot tea from his assistant and took a sip.
Seeing this, those merchants who were still about to speak were stunned at first, and then quickly shut up. People familiar with Ma Zhou's temperament knew that if they continued to ask this, Ma Zhou would definitely not answer any questions. It would be better to shut up and let Ma Zhou have a stand to speak.
Sure enough, fewer and fewer people asked questions, and the entire hall gradually became quieter.
In the box on the second floor, Xi Yunfei glanced at the situation in the hall through the crack in the door, smiling without saying a word.
Opposite Xi Yunfei, Cui Xian, Pei Qing and Lu Huan, three others looked back almost at the same time. Pei Qing bowed and smiled and said, "It is a great blessing for the little husband to get this help. Master Ma has his own way of doing things, which is valuable."
Cui Xian and Lu Huan also nodded in praise. They were also very envious of talents like Ma Zhou. Unfortunately, none of their families could delegate power as completely as Xi Yunfei. It was a taboo to allow a foreigner to interfere in their own business.
Xi Yunfei smiled and poured tea for the three of them with his own hands. He responded with a smile: "Three uncles, don't belittle yourself. You three have many talented people. It is not comparable to that of a small chamber of commerce in my country, haha."
The three of them smiled at each other, but did not deny that in terms of talent, the aristocratic family said second, and even the imperial court dared not say first. This is the foundation of the aristocratic family, and it is their pride. No one would be humble in this regard.
"Okay, the bidding has started outside, so we won't say much nonsense." Xi Yunfei drank a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then said, "I want to ask the three uncles to do a little favor."
"Oh?!" Cui Xian and the other two showed a look of surprise. There is still a problem in this world that Xi Yunfei cannot solve?
Xi Yunfei continued: "It's not a big deal, but with you three, I think it should be twice the result with half the effort. After all, I am not as proud as you three, as I have in Hedong."
The three of them looked at each other and said, "You little husband, it's okay." Pei Qing was born in Hedong and he had the most say in Hedong.
Cui Xian and Lu Huan looked at Pei Qing, but did not say much, but looked at Xi Yunfei, curious that he could not solve any trouble he could have, and he had to ask the three of them to touch.
Xi Yunfei was not in a hurry, so he brewed another pot of tea before slowly saying, "Do you know a lot about the Sima family in Hedong?"
"Sima family in Hedong?"
"good."
"Young man... want to attack them?" Pei Qing asked uneasyly. After all, his lips and teeth were cold, and he also came from Hedong.
"Hmm?" Xi Yunfei shook his head, glanced at him, and said, "It's not necessary to take action, but if you have any shops to run on their territory, I don't mind giving you more good goods..."
