"I said, I want to go with this ship, otherwise I will feel uneasy. Wouldn't it be troublesome if you can't arrive tomorrow..." Boss Wu said, and several sailors around him heard what he said.

Laughing, this is not the first boss to make such a request. Many bosses have made the same request. They all asked to follow the ship. Li Cong has already given instructions. This is no problem.

"Haha, Boss Wu, there are many people who are as worried as you. Yes, they all want to go with the ship. Our boss also said that this is no problem, but the ugly thing is ahead. There are no VIPs like passenger ships on this ship.

The rooms above are all the rooms where our sailors live. Although they have been renovated, they are only ten square meters and can accommodate four people. It is no problem to sleep and rest. If you want to enjoy it, then

It's impossible, I wonder if you, Boss Wu, can do it?" The guy said with a smile, this is the order from Cao's Shipping. Of course, if you want to take the boat, it is not for nothing. Everyone

They all need three hundred taels of silver. If it’s less, I’m sorry, it won’t work.

"That's no problem. There's no boss. These goods are our wealth and life. To be honest, if something happens to these goods, I will immediately change from a boss to a pauper. These things are not a joke.

When it comes to fun, goods are often much more important than our heads. Why not suffer a little with you, but we can rest assured in our hearts. To be honest, I suffered a lot more than you in the past.

In the mines in the east, life was really hard. Compared with you now, it is incomparable." This boss is also an old man, and he is very emotional when talking about the past.

Yes, it's just that the sailors don't have the time to talk nonsense with him here. They have to work quickly. Their work schedule is already very full.

Another thing that Boss Wu doesn't understand is that each of these sailors seems to be much more diligent than before. In the past, none of those guys were very willing to work. They seemed to work more.

It's as if the work can kill them. Nowadays, everyone seems to be diligent to death. In fact, Boss Wu doesn't understand, but these sailors understand. In the past, work was not as easy as now. Now the ship only needs

Just start the motor. In the past, they had to move the sail or something. If there was a headwind, they might have to paddle. This is an absolutely strenuous job, and their brains are also working on the water.

On the waistband. Although it is a lot of money, it is not as much as I feel. Just like the guy just now, he was paid once a month in the past. At that time, an ordinary sailor earned ten taels of silver a month.

Yes, the slightly higher level is fifteen taels, and the highest is twenty taels. Now there has been a big increase compared to the past. Basically, the salary of most sailors has increased by 50%. But if they can all

If they complete the task within the stipulated time, they can get another 50%. With this rule, if they don't work quickly, they have a grudge against money. It seems that no one in this world has a grudge against money.

of.

Soon, in just three hours, these porters had unloaded the entire ship's cargo. In the past, this was absolutely fast. No one could move the cargo in such a short time.

But now this thing has been done. This is a fact. All the bosses look at the porters with admiration. They were coolies before. They are also coolies now, but now they are different from before.

, they all have their own basic salary. In the past, it was one day's salary for one day's work. Now they still charge according to the previous method, but in addition to the money given by the guests, they can also work in Cao Cao.

Cao's Commercial Bank received another salary, which was in kind, that is, one hundred catties of grain per person per month. This was given to them by Cao's Commercial Bank, and there were two conditions.

One is that they have to work at the dock of Cao's Trading Company to get this money. If you are not here, I'm sorry for you, this will definitely not be given to you, and you must complete it within the stipulated time.

, if you fail to complete it within the specified time three times a month, then the money is not yours. If you violate the rules four times, half of your salary will be deducted. If you violate the rules five times, I'm sorry, you can directly

After leaving, these things are very common on earth, but here is not as transparent as on earth. These management measures are very useful, at least they have improved the current efficiency of the dock a lot, and now it is still

There are no competitors, but Li Cong has already started operating according to the model of having competitors. Even if a competitor suddenly appears, I believe they will not have the ability to compete with him, because at that time all the resources are in his own hands.

In their hands, they have no ability to compete at all. Other book friends are reading:.

That afternoon and evening, Wu Liu got on the boat. This was the first time he saw such a strange thing. In the past, the sails and other things on the boat were all put up. He didn't understand why the sails were not set sail.

To open it? Does it require the sailors to paddle forward? This is impossible. Everyone knows that it is possible to paddle in a short time, but it will take them five or six days to get there. If the sailors take five or six days

If all the time was spent paddling, these sailors would probably be exhausted before they got there. He and several other bosses looked at the ship in confusion. How would they get out of the port later?

How can we arrive at our destination at this time tomorrow? Isn't this bragging? We have paid all the money, just like before. This ship of goods cost me 18,000 taels of silver. If it is true

As they said, if they can go back and forth every day, this will be 36,000 taels of silver. This is simply unbelievable. Even if they work for 300 days a year, they will have 10.8 million taels of silver every year. This is

How much can a ship earn in a year? In the past, it took at least six full days on the road plus in port, but now they need a little more than a day?

Boom... Just when these people were wondering, there was such a noise on the ship. Many people didn't know what was going on. How could there be so much black smoke, and the ship seemed to start to shake.

I looked at the shore one by one. I was actually moving, and I could walk without the wind. What kind of boat was this? They all looked at the people around me in wonder, hoping that the people around me could give me an explanation... What a pity.

These people didn't know what was going on. It was the first time for them to encounter such a ship. It was so fast. Such things were really surprising. The Cao family business was accustomed to doing things like this.

Things that everyone can't find in the north, this one is even more powerful.

"This... this speed is a little too fast. I can feel my hat blowing off when I stand here. There is no wind outside. This is definitely because the boat is moving too fast.

The reason. And wasn’t it said in the past that sailing at night was not allowed, and sailors also need to rest." A ship owner said.

"Yes, those people told me in the past that everyone needed to rest at night, but now it seems that it is nonsense." Another boss also said, the reason why the sailors did not leave at night in the past

It's just that they were too tired during the day, and it's not that they were pretentious and didn't want to contribute. In fact, they couldn't do it with their bodies. It's different now. The driver can work in shifts, but there is no such thing as the other sailors.

That's it. As long as they take shifts and rest, they can go sailing during the day and night, which invisibly shortens the time by double.

"Bosses, bosses, we are about to sail at full speed. If you are still on the deck, we hope you can grab a nearby fixed object. Otherwise, if you fall, we will have to fish you out.

Yes, in fact, if you want to see our speed, you can go into the cabin and you can still see it." The sailors came up and said. If it were a ship on Earth, there would be no such worries. These ships are all

It is made of wood, and it is indeed dangerous when the speed reaches 60 kilometers per hour. Fortunately, the river is wide enough, there are not many boats, and nothing will happen. The most important thing is that Li Cong started

If some channels are planned, keep to the right. This is the most important rule. It is easy for ships in the same direction both front and rear. If you want to turn or something, you have to rely on the horns on the ship to make some sounds.

, this way sailing at night is also very secure.

"It's really fast. I've been carrying my goods across the Magnolia River all my life. This is the first time I've seen such a fast speed. Your Cao's Firm is really amazing. In this case, our goods will take one day.

That's it, haha, you've doubled the speed of making money, and we've also benefited from it." In the cabin, a boss said with a smile.

"Yes, we all benefit from it. If we only have one day, we can actually transport some things with a shorter shelf life. In that case, our profits will be huge." A boss suddenly thought.

"Yes, some wild animals in the eastern region are very valuable to us. In the past, we couldn't transport them because of rot. Now we don't have to think about it so much in a day. This is indeed the case.

Very good." These guys are all businessmen and they can quickly find business opportunities here.

At night, all these guys were so excited that they couldn't sleep. It can be said that people only get excited when they are about to witness a miracle. These businessmen are also people who have seen the world, but when they woke up

They were still surprised. They slept for seven or eight hours. They had been on a boat before, but they didn't sleep so well. The boat was really stable, and they had already arrived at their destination.

They can enter the port in half an hour. This is really surprising. In more than 20 hours, they have traveled the original five or six days. This speed surprised them. The speed has increased so much.

The price is still the original price, and the service is much better than before. If you don't continue to choose, you will be sorry for yourself. Everyone has made up his mind that the transportation will be from Cao's Company in the future. Other book friends are reading

:.

When they got off the boat, they happened to meet some businessmen here. They had the same idea as the businessmen who got off the boat. They didn't believe it could be so fast, and they were also prepared to pay three hundred taels of silver.

I asked Qian to go over and see what was going on. If you rely on others to tell you something like this, you will never believe it. You have to try it yourself to know.

"Old Wu, why are you here? Don't you believe in this thing? How about you come here tonight?" As soon as Boss Wu walked down, a guy called his name and said. This is Wu

The boss’s good friend is Boss Zhang.

"Haha, Lao Zhang, I knew you wouldn't believe it. To be honest, I didn't believe it either. If I hadn't followed here in person, I wouldn't believe it now. As I was still there at this time,

By the way, we are here today. Forget it, you won’t believe me even if I tell you. Whatever the situation, you should go up and try it yourself. By the way, I have joined their Cao Chamber of Commerce club. It is said that

Only people in this club can book a boat within a week. Others can only go and wait. The annual membership fee is only 30,000 taels of silver, but it can help us a lot. I advise

You also went in. I heard that a county only has 300 people. I don’t know if your place is full. The price of this thing will increase by then." When getting off the ship, the captain promoted this thing to these merchants. If

Ordinary people would think about it for a while. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, it is one-third of their annual income. But when the captain told them about the discount, basically none of them stopped hesitating.

Basically 90% of their group of more than 40 people have joined.

This right is not small. First of all, it is the advantage of booking a ship. As long as you are a member, you can write down your own warrant. You don’t need to pay a deposit at all to reserve the ship for me, even if you don’t have one at the time.

The ship will be given to you and will be obtained for you as quickly as possible... Another thing is that members can get a certain amount of emergency funds from Cao's Trading Company. If you have difficulty in running a business or something,

What's cool, Cao's Bank can also give you some low-interest loans. As long as your collateral is suitable, you can put down the money within two hours, and the interest rate is really low compared to other banks.

The monthly interest rate is only 3%. You must know that other banks are engaged in loan sharking. In comparison, Li Cong's interest rate is really too low, so low that even these people cannot believe it, and other

The bank's approval process is also too slow. They are all there for one hand. Only Cao's Trading Firm is really doing business.

At the same time, Cao's Commercial Bank also accepts deposits, which is different from other banks. In other places, when you deposit money in a bank, you have to pay a custody fee, but here there is no custody fee at all, as long as it is

If you deposit, you will get 3% interest every year. Although 3% annual interest is small, it is better than nothing. Li Cong earns a lot of money from here and there, every month.

If you lend out the loan at an interest rate of 3% and get it in at an annual interest rate of 3%, this is twelve times the profit.

"This membership is really amazing. If it can really be promoted, I think businessmen from dozens of provinces on both sides of the Yulan River will form a new alliance. It seems that Cao's Trading Company is about to rise. We

These small businessmen have to follow such a behemoth to develop." Boss Zhang said with emotion, these small businessmen really struggled to survive in the cracks. In the past, one chamber of commerce or another would appear at every turn.

, now they can be considered an alliance, but it is still relatively loose.

"Who says it's not the case? I didn't really believe it at first. Then the boss Wang who came with me last year, because he was a little inconvenient, he signed the contract and so on on the ship. That guy took it

He made a mortgage on his family's farm and house, and took out a loan of 60,000 taels. When he got off the boat, someone took him there to get the money. The speed was simply too fast. It was not like those banks in the past.

They are all very shady, and they try to manipulate you in these matters." Boss Wu was envious when he talked about a guy on the ship who got a loan. In fact, he was also short of money, but he was already in

I got the money from the bank. Besides, I don’t have the deed of my house or anything else. Otherwise, I would have taken out a loan. This gap is really too big. A month’s interest from the bank.

It’s more than what you get here in a year. Damn, there are some who charge 1 penny a month. Now compared with Cao’s Trading Company, those who charge 20% off are all vampires.

In addition to these short-term loans, Cao's Commercial Bank also offers a lot of long-term investments. For example, if you have a project, you can even apply for long-term loans, which are for two to three years, and the annual interest is only 2%.

It’s only fifteen, as long as your project has a future. This is unimaginable from the perspective of those banks. The average monthly rate is only a little more than 2%. Such a transaction is not worth the money.

Bank accounts will never do this.

The bank's business is one that Li Cong must be careful about. This bank is a business that uses money to make money. Everyone is looking at this piece. He doesn't want to make it too big at the beginning, otherwise all the banks will join forces.

It would be enough for me to get up. The main reason is that I have too much money in my treasury. Li Cong injected 40 billion silver into the bank at once. Let’s see how much interest they can get for themselves in a month.

, I didn’t expect that no one believed in such a low interest rate at first, and they all still went to ask for loan sharks. It’s not like Li Cong just opened such a club, and it will be easier to talk about it after attracting some businessmen.
