Chapter 169 Collusion

For a large business like "Fu Ruifeng", establishing various production, supply and marketing channels and relying on the price difference generated in the circulation of goods is the main way to make profits, but it is not the only way. Under the name "Fu Ruifeng"

In addition to business houses, there are also hotels, restaurants, restaurants and even land scattered in the countryside near Guangzhou. The great shopkeepers of the past may not understand what it means to "put eggs in different baskets", but they are very familiar with the idea of ​​avoiding business risks by diversifying investments.

The truth has long been understood.

As long as it is a profitable business, "Furuifeng" first considers whether its profitability is worth getting involved in, rather than whether this business has been done before. Just like the thousand kilograms of private salt shipped back to Guangzhou by the Yazhou branch last time

Although "Furuifeng" has not trafficked illegal salt before, this does not prevent them from getting involved in this extremely profitable industry from now on. The same goes for the arms business. For "Furuifeng"

It was completely a deal that Li Nai negotiated on the spur of the moment, but this business adhered to the consistent business principles of "Fu Ruifeng" and would not let go of any business that could make a lot of money.

When Li Nai set foot on the land of Victory Port, he had already paid attention to the planning of this port. Li Nai's knowledge was much wider than that of Wei Ping, a small patrol inspector who had been living in Yazhou, from Guangzhou Bay to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He has set foot in almost all the major ports in the area, and he can naturally tell that the construction scale of Victory Port is definitely not on the level of ordinary fishing village wharfs or merchant private ports, and this also reflects from the side that the Haihan people have a deep understanding of Victory Port.

Bigger and longer-term plans.

Before coming to Victory Port, Li Nai once thought that the refined salt and glass products sold by the Haihan people were bought from the Westerners in the South China Sea, but after coming here, he quickly overturned this idea - since the Haihan people can make their own

With guns and cannons, it is not surprising that they have the ability to produce refined salt and glass products. And Li Nai believed that with these few commodities, the Haihan people would be able to turn Victory Port into the most prosperous port at the southern end of Qiongzhou Island within a few years.

The most important thing is that the Haihan people have guns, artillery and a militia organization that is infinitely similar to the army, which gives them sufficient self-protection capabilities - neither the South China Sea pirates nor the Yazhou government can easily intervene here.

Affairs. And the situation of the Inspection Department that Li Nai saw later just confirmed this point.

Without the intervention of the local government, the local people's sentiments are very stable, and the Haihan Executive Committee is a very powerful but very disciplined local manager. Where can we find a port like Victory Port that is suitable for smuggling trade? Li Nai thinks

This is simply a God-given opportunity. If my own business does not seize the time to settle here as soon as possible, and wait for the Haihan people to develop and grow in a year or two, it will be difficult to get a foothold in this place.

Of course, before making relevant requests to the Haihan people, out of careful consideration, it is still necessary to learn more about the situation here. Li Nai initially hoped to find out some information from ordinary people, but when he saw those who were just

When the three-foot-tall children had already learned to say "serve the executive committee", they decisively gave up their original idea. If they really wanted to inquire about information from those people, they might be directly used as spies by the Haihan people.

Catch him, and there is no government here that can slowly litigate. All matters are decided by the Haihan Executive Committee. Li Nai does not want to take too big risks for this kind of thing.

Then apart from ordinary people, the only person Li Nai can choose to ask is the Inspection Department. Li Nai concluded from his observations that although the people in the Inspection Department seem to have "submitted" to the management of the Haihan people,

But it seemed that there was still a gap between him and the Haihan people, and the two parties should not have become colluding with each other yet. So as soon as he got the opportunity in the morning, Li Nai took the initiative to talk to Wei Ping, hoping to open a breakthrough with him. But he was completely unwilling.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ping actually had similar thoughts to him, hoping to borrow strength from "Fu Ruifeng" to complete his own plan.

Wei Ping waited for a long time and saw that Li Nai and He Qiang were both deep in thought and silent for a long time. Just as his subordinates had delivered breakfast, he coughed dryly and said: "You two, breakfast has been delivered. Let's eat while we are here."

Tell me."

Li He and Li came back to their senses, thanked them repeatedly and took the breakfast. Wei Ping waved his hand, and his subordinates stepped away knowingly.

The content of breakfast was just ordinary porridge, steamed buns and pickles, but none of the three people seemed to have focused on it. In the end, Wei Ping couldn't calm down and said: "From what I have seen since I came here, Hai

The Han people have great plans, and this place will surely gradually become more prosperous in the future, and there will definitely be many opportunities to make a fortune."

"Congratulations to Inspector Wei!" Li Nai echoed: "This place is a natural port, and the Haihan people are well-run. As time goes by, more merchants will come here to trade, and it will become a big port in just a short time. It's a shame."

I intend to set up a warehouse here and do some business along the way, but..."

"Just what?" Wei Ping responded immediately as soon as he heard about the game.

"It's just that all affairs here are decided by the Haihan Executive Committee, so I'm still a little uneasy." Li Nai pretended to hesitate. If he hadn't noticed that Wei Ping had other intentions at this time, then after all these years,

Family inheritance is wasted.

Sure enough, Wei Ping comforted him and said, "If Master Li is worried about this, I have a solution."

Li Nai responded: "If Inspector Wei has any good ideas, you might as well tell them."

"How about I cooperate with your trading company on this business?" Wei Ping asked straight to the point: "Whether it's a warehouse, a hotel, or a restaurant, I can usually let the inspection department take care of it.

, Mr. Li will probably be able to feel more at ease this way.”

Li Nai thought to himself that you would save me a lot of trouble by taking the initiative. Li Nai doesn't care about sharing some of the profits from the business with the Inspection Department. In fact, even if Wei Ping didn't mention it, he already had this plan.

Although the Haihan people are developing very well here, who knows what changes will happen in the future? Will the government take back this place and expel the Haihan people? By then, "Furuifeng" will have the shield of the local inspection department, and it will be able to protect "Furuifeng"

"Abundant" local interests.

At this point, the intentions of both parties are already obvious, and what follows is nothing more than a discussion of some details of cooperation. The only focus of dispute is the future profit distribution ratio. Although Wei Ping wants to insist on a 50-50 split

principle, but since he didn’t have much cash in hand to invest, he still had to rely on "Fu Ruifeng" for most of the investment. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to Li Nai's suggestion of 30-70, "Fu Ruifeng"

"Ruifeng" received 70% of the local operating income, while Wei Ping and the Inspection Department received the remaining 30%.

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

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

Tao Donglai said: "This Li Nai is really a bit dishonest. Yesterday you didn't let him have more contact with Wei Ping, but today you took the opportunity to get together."

Schneider smiled and said: "This is normal. Although he is here to do the smuggling business, he still has more trust in the government. If he is not allowed to deal with the inspection department, he may not be able to let him go.

Make up your mind to continue to cooperate with us in depth.”

"You are very calculating." Tao Donglai shook his head helplessly and said, "I just hope they don't come up with any evil ideas after discussing it. If Li Nai turns around and helps Wei Ping escape from here, it will be really difficult for us to deal with it."

"That Young Master Li is not stupid, he will not do such a thing that is not beneficial to himself." Schneider seemed very confident in his calculation: "In my opinion, he should have some other ideas about our place.

"

"Oh?" Tao Donglai said with a smile: "Then it seems that our investment plan will be launched accordingly."

"I think the opportunity is great." Schneider said: "If we go to Guangzhou to do business, we will also look for a foothold there first, just like we did in Yazhou. A mature business name like 'Furuifeng',

I will definitely consider this issue - if Li Nai does not consider it in this direction, I will doubt his sincerity in cooperation."

"Then let them talk slowly first. After they finish talking, we can go to the Saltworks Commune according to today's schedule." Tao Donglai patted Schneider on the shoulder and said, "You keep an eye on it first, and I'll go take a look at those few people."

Are the equipment needed by the Salt Works Commune ready?"

The renovation project of the Salt Farm Commune has been ongoing. So far, the land has been leveled and a cement-bottomed salt drying pond with an area of ​​more than 200 acres has been rebuilt, which has greatly improved the production efficiency and actual output. The previous fully manual seawater lifting and irrigation device has also been replaced.

It has begun to be gradually converted into new equipment using wind power and animal power as energy sources. When I take businessmen to visit the Saltworks Commune today, I will transport two sets of the latest wind-powered irrigation equipment there for installation. As for the steam power that Anxi coach is eagerly waiting for

Due to insufficient production capacity of relevant departments, the lifting and irrigation equipment 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 finally ended their discussion, and Wei Ping returned to the small courtyard of the Inspection Department with a satisfied look on his face. Schneider came out to greet Li Nai and He Qiang, and asked them to follow him to the pier to take the boat.

Travel.

Schneider pointed to a pile of utensils that the workers were carrying onto the ship and said: "These are production equipment that are to be transported to the salt field for installation. They need to be loaded onto the ship first. Let's wait for a while."

Li Naiqi asked: "Isn't this salt farm not in Victory Port?"

Schneider smiled and said: "Although it's not here, it's not far away. We'll find out when we get there."
