Chapter 27: Liu Yong is not afraid to collect money
Five boats, front and back, lined up in a long queue, sailing on the canal. The "squeaking" sound of the oars and the "swishing" sound of the water on both sides of the boat formed a gentle and beautiful national song.
music.
The boat swayed gently for a while, and gradually the sound of the oar was heard. The blue waves were like a big piece of soft satin, rippling and stretching. The sound of water on the bow of the boat and the intermittent voice of the oar rower at the stern seemed strangely comfortable.
Liu Yong didn't want to go into the cabin and sat alone on the front side. From time to time he stood on the bow of the ship, looking at both sides of the ship and into the distance.
It was the ebb tide of the Huangpu River, and with favorable winds and currents, the ship docked at the dock for more than 200 miles of waterway, one day and one night.
At this time, someone came and asked: Hello, boatman, is there any silk on the ship? No matter how much there is, we want it.
Liu Yong said: There is no one here. If you want to find out, go to the Shanghai Branch of Xing Zhengmao Silk Co., Ltd. tomorrow morning to find out.
So, Liu Yong called Wang Baohe, arranged dinner, bought some stewed vegetables for the boatmen, and hurried to the residence of "Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop Shanghai Branch".
At the residence, Ah Rong is finishing his meal.
When Ah Rong saw Liu Yong arriving in a hurry, he quickly put down his chopsticks and greeted him with a smile.
Ah Rong smiled and said: Boss, you are finally here, I am so anxious. These days, many shops basically have no stock, and the price is two, two, three.
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Hurry up, call a truck or a rickshaw, take the goods to the warehouse first, and check tomorrow's shipments."
On the dock, Liu Yong and Ah Rong were directing the transportation. Soon, all the goods were unloaded.
Liu Yong left one boat behind, paid wages to the other four, and also gave them rewards, asking them to go back first.
One night, Liu Yong basically didn't sleep. He was thinking about how to list the business tomorrow.
Ah Rong saw what Liu Yong was thinking and went up to him and said: Boss, as everyone knows, the number of listings can be up to 2, 2, 5 tomorrow.
Liu Yong said with a smile: I am also considering this issue, but is it too high to pay 22-50? Besides, our bank is different from other banks. Most of their banks are acquired, and we produce and sell our own products, which is better than others.
There is no intermediate link, so the profit is higher than others, but good opportunities must be seized.
The next morning, before the door opened, there were already crowds of people at the door. There were people with yellow hair and blue eyes, some carrying briefcases, all asking about the price of Jili Chun Silk.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the "Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop Shanghai Branch" opened, and a small blackboard was hung in front of the door, which read: Jili Spring Silk, the spot price is 2, 2, 3 and 5 per two.
Wow, people started talking all of a sudden.
Some said: The price has increased again.
Some said: Fortunately, it only increased by half a point. If you wait a day or two, the shipping fee will be higher.
As soon as the store door opened, some businessmen rushed inside.
Within an hour, all 200 packages of spring silk were sold out. The busy scene slowly calmed down.
Liu Yong always had a smile on his face. He knew that this time he would earn more than he could even calculate.
While cleaning the 'battlefield', he found a briefcase on the counter. When he opened it and took a look, he was frightened. There was a large stack of banknotes inside. He thought that the owner would be very anxious when he found out.
He remembered that the person carrying the briefcase just now was a tall foreigner, and there was a Chinese translator next to him. Liu Yong had chatted with him a few words and knew where they lived, so he immediately went out and called
He got into a rickshaw and chased it.
In a certain hotel, the French businessman Seroff was so anxious that he said to the comprador in half-baked Chinese: It's over now, it's over. Where has my briefcase gone?
The comprador said: I saw that you were carrying it when you went out. Why is it gone?
Siroff said: I know, I know. I took it with me when I went out. I don’t know if I forgot it on the rickshaw or on the silk trail?
The comprador said: That would be troublesome. If you forget it in a rickshaw, where can you find this rickshaw in such a big Shanghai? Even if you find the rickshaw, will people recognize it? If you forget it on the Silk Road, there were so many people just now, who was it?
Take it away, who knows, how to find it?
Serov was covered in cold sweat and collapsed on the sofa. He said to himself: It's over, it's over. All my belongings are in it, all my belongings are in it. What should I do, what should I do, my God?
.
Just when they were extremely anxious, there was a knock on the door.
The comprador went to open the door and saw Liu Yong coming in carrying a briefcase.
As soon as Liu Yong entered the door, he said: Excuse me, is this bag yours?
Serov was startled at first, and then jumped up and said: Ah! My God, he is finally back, finally he is back.
Liu Yong smiled and said to Serlov: It's yours, then look and see if there is anything missing.
Serov took the bag from Liu Yong, opened it, doubled it, and said with a smile: Nothing is missing. So he took out a silver note and gave it to Liu Yong to express his gratitude.
Liu Yong shook his hand, signaling no.
Siroff mistakenly thought that Liu Yong thought it was too little, so he took out another one and gave it to Liu Yong.
Liu Yong smiled and said: If I wanted your banknote, then I wouldn't have given it to you just now. Wouldn't it be better to swallow it all?
Serov didn't fully understand Liu Yong's words and looked at the comprador.
The comprador translated to him and heard: Mr. Liu meant that if he wanted your reward, then he didn't send the package just now, because he didn't want your reward.
Siroff smiled and said: Oh, so that's it.
Liu Yong smiled and said: This is your thing, and it should be returned to you. We Chinese have always believed that other people's things always belong to others and cannot be appropriated at will. This is the character of our entire nation.
Siroff put out his thumb and said: chi
ese g
eat.
Liu Yong also said: We are all in business, and businessmen should put trustworthiness first and justice as profit. When we do silk business, we measure cloth with a ruler, and measure people even more.
The comprador explained this to the foreigner, who gave Liu Yong a thumbs up.
Siroff said: I still have many friends who are in the silk business. I will tell them to only do business with Mr. Liu from now on.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Thank you, thank you.
The comprador said: Mr. Liu is a noble and respectable person. My name is Tang Yanghe and I am from Anhui. I also have many friends who I can introduce to Mr. Liu in the future.
Liu Yong expressed his thanks again.
Siroff added: I have a Chinese friend named Qiu Xiancha, who is also from your place. I wonder if Mr. Liu knows him?
When mentioning Qiu Xiancha, Liu Yong said with a smile: The world is so small, Qiu Xiancha is my little brother, we grew up together.
Siroff smiled and said: Oh, that's it. Qiu Xiancha is in France, and we often drink coffee together. When you go back, I will say hello to him. I miss him very much. Oh, I want to thank you for my briefcase. Today I have another
I have an extra friend, Mr. Liu.
Liu Yong said goodbye to Serov and Tang Yanghe. They sent Liu Yong downstairs and all the way to the gate.
