Chapter 330 Hankou
"Woooooooo..." A whistle sounded, and a small steamer stopped at Hankou Wharf. A few people were pulled down from the ship, but no one came down.
"Be more at ease...be more at ease...be slowly..." After a while, another sound came from the boat.
I saw two young men walking hard with a large wooden box, walking in a daze and a little clumsy.
Despite this, we could still see a sense of spiritual energy from the two of us, and the clothes on our bodies were neatly taken care of, obviously not ordinary people.
The two young men looked like young men in their twenties, one of whom was a little older, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, the material was also good, and they looked very energetic.
The other person is a little younger and dressed in ordinary clothes, and has a little bit of a scholarly aura on his body, but he is much more skillful than the older ones.
At this time, the ship owner also walked out, looked at the two people who were struggling to move, and asked them with a smile: "Haha... do you need to help? Just a piece of ocean is enough."
"No, no, no... we can do it ourselves..." The young man in Zhongshan shook his head and refused.
The casual-wearing man was a little hesitant just now, which shows that the Zhongshan suited man said this and was struggling to carry the box. He had to lower his head and carry it silently.
Seeing this, the ship owner smiled and shook his head, and looked at the two crew members who came out again, pointing at the jokes of the two.
From the conversation between the three, I learned that the young man in Zhongshan was named Shen Wenbin, a rich young master who was studying in Peking. However, he had a prodigal father at home, and his family had already lost.
The casual young man named Wu Chongming, who is the son of a servant of the Shen family. He grew up with Shen Wenbin since childhood, and is equivalent to a student.
However, Shen Wenbin did not regard Wu Chongming as a scholar. His father was a prodigal son. He had been busy smoking cigarettes and shopping in brothels since he was born. His mother died when he was a child and had no parents to accompany him.
He has been playing big with Wu Chongming since he was a child, and has always taken Wu Chongming with him from elementary school to middle school, and then to high school.
Last year, Shen Wenbin took Wu Chongming to Peking to study. He realized that Wu Chongming was very yearning for university, so Shen Wenbin decided to let Wu Chongming go to college with him.
Wu Chongming has no problem with his knowledge. After all, Wu Chongming is no stupider than him. He has studied with him since childhood, so there is no problem passing the college entrance examination.
But they were short of money, and the Shen family was almost defeated by Shen Wenbin's father, and they were reluctant to give them money to go to college.
Shen Wenbin's tuition fee for the previous year was only enough for him to secretly save over the years and his grandfather secretly sponsored him.
Unfortunately, Shen Wenbin's grandfather's family was not very rich, so Shen Wenbin couldn't ask them for Wu Chongming's tuition fees.
This time, he rushed back from Peking on the annual leave to see if there was any way to get the money. Unfortunately, he only collected a small amount of money from the Shen family, which was not enough for the tuition.
Not to mention Wu Chongming's tuition, even his tuition fees for the next year are still far from each other. In the end, Shen Wenbin had no choice but to get some things to take them out of Sichuan to see if he could miss the money.
The ship owner watched Shen Wenbin and the others who were already sweating profusely, shook their heads, and joined in with the two crew members, and helped them carry the things.
Suddenly, the speed suddenly increased. Not long after, a pile of goods piled up on the dock, a pile of boxes made of bamboo strips and a pile of ten barrels.
After the ship owner put down the last wooden barrel, he smiled bitterly: "Master Chen, you have made a lot of money this time. So he bought the ship fare for five people, so we will help you pull most of the cargo on the ship.
We also took care of ourselves and worked for you for free. If we weren’t fellow countrymen, I promised to throw you into the river.”
Speaking of this, the ship owner shook his head helplessly. He remembered that when Shen Wenbin got on the boat, he said that he had a lot of luggage and paid more money for the boat. He was quite happy and thought Shen Wenbin was so kind.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wenbin was cheated and helped Shen Wenbin pull half of the cargo in vain. If it weren't for the Shen family's remaining forces in the local area, he would definitely not have let Shen Wenbin get on the ship.
In fact, there is another point, that is, Shen Wenbin is not a prodigal son like his father, and his abilities are not bad. Maybe he will rise in the future and don’t want to offend too much.
Hearing the ship owner's complaint, Shen Wenbin was not false, and smiled and said, "Oh... I can't say that, Brother Qian, didn't I even give you a few bottles of wine?
That's authentic French wine, you can't buy it even if you have money, you'll make a lot of money."
Hearing this, the owner of the Qian Ship was speechless and said, "Don't fool me, you should have made it yourself with the sour grapes, right?
What other French wine is there? Don’t think I haven’t drunk it before, just want to fool me. Foreign wine will be shipped out of Sichuan? Are you cheating!”
"Wait..." Speaking of this, the owner of the money ship smashed his mouth and asked, "Young Master Chen, how did you do it yourself? To be honest, the taste is really good."
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin raised his head proudly and said, "That's right, what I made is, will it make it bad? I..."
Speaking of this, Shen Wenbin immediately realized that he had missed his mouth. Sure enough, the owner of the money ship was looking at him with a smile, which made Shen Wenbin's face feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the owner of the money ship shook his head and said with a smile: "Give me another box and I'll help you solve the problem."
After saying that, the owner of the money ship pointed at Shen Wenbin behind him with his head. Shen Wenbin turned around and saw that there was a group of people standing not far away from them. Judging from their clothes, they were obviously not guests on the boat.
"Those people are local snakes at the dock. When they get here, they must hand over the unloading work to them, otherwise they will come to trouble you."
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Qian, I can't give you the bottled ones anymore, I can only give you another barrel of wine. The amounts of these two are almost the same."
When the owner of the ship heard this, he nodded, went to the side, chose a barrel, and asked the two crew members to move back to the ship. He opened a bamboo box, took a few glass bottles of wine from it, and walked towards a group of people standing not far away.
This glass bottle, like the bottle of foreign wine, was created by Shen Wenbin through some means. The labels on the bottle were also full of foreign text.
Moreover, the foreign text on this bottle was made by Shen Wenbin himself, and it can be said that he made it up by himself, just to make it fake and make people unable to distinguish it.
After the owner of the money ship got the local snake on the dock, Shen Wenbin took a few more bottles of wine and took out five or six oceans from his body, pretending to be generous and gave it to the local snake.
In fact, Shen Wenbin's heart had already started to shed blood. However, under the roof of others, he could not bear to bow his head, otherwise these people would be able to destroy it and his plan would not be able to do it.
Shen Wenbin's money has indeed successfully opened up the relationship between local snakes for him. Not only did he ask someone to help them move goods, but he also found a good stall outside the dock at Shen Wenbin's request.
Now, as soon as the wine was moved to the stall, Shen Wenbin immediately shouted, but Wu Chongming was still a little unable to let go and shouted in a low voice, so he was arranged to pack it by Shen Wenbin.
The price of Shen Wenbin is not high compared to foreign wine. It only costs two pieces of ocean per bottle, and a large barrel of ocean per barrel.
But this book is fake, so the profit is too high, it is simply a huge profit.
Not long after, a large group of people were surrounded in front of Shen Wenbin's stall, but no one bought it.
Most of the people who gathered around were watching the excitement and wanted to get a bargain. After all, no one would sell foreign wine in such places. Of course, there were many people asking questions, where to ask.
The most asked question is why this wine is so cheap? Is it a fake wine? After all, foreign wines of this era are basically expensive to the sky and are not something that ordinary people can consume.
Shen Wenbin could only explain that this was produced by a small foreign winery. He took much effort to buy it. Balabala said a lot.
The reason why Shen Wenbin did not set the price of this wine as normal foreign wine is that the price is too high and it is difficult to sell.
Second, those who can buy foreign wine at that price are either powerful, rich and powerful, or they are already good at this sip and have an understanding of foreign wine. Shen Wenbin is afraid that someone will expose it and cause trouble.
Setting this price can allow people who can't afford to buy foreign wine to pay for new things, or sell them to those who want to take advantage of it.
However, Shen Wenbin was so angry that the people in front of the stall did not buy it. Shen Wenbin immediately changed his mind and opened a bucket of wine, so that he could taste it first and then buy it.
Shen Wenbin is very confident in the quality of his wine. After all, he has worked hard on it a lot. He has carefully selected grapes and selected the wines he made with better taste.
Sure enough, Shen Wenbin's method worked. After drinking it, several people thought it was delicious. Although they had never tasted it, they thought the wine should be the taste, so they bought it.
Someone bought it, which immediately attracted others to buy it, and the situation was opened up by Shen Wenbin.
Seeing that this was effective, Shen Wenbin took a few high-legged glasses from their luggage, which he prepared in advance.
Shen Wenbin held a high-legged glass cup and introduced the way to the customers in front of the stall. What should you shake before drinking? You have to sip it in small sips when drinking. Anyway, these people were stunned.
Wu Chongming, who was in charge of packaging, felt a little happy, but also a little entangled when he looked at the hot scene in front of him.
What was happy was that he could finally enter the university he was thinking about. What was entangled was that he was always a little sad about using such a deceptive method.
However, at this time, Shen Wenbin didn't care about Wu Chongming's changes in his heart at all, and was just busy continuing to fool the people in front of the stall.
Even if Shen Wenbin saw Wu Chongming's thoughts, he would only say a sweetheart. For Shen Wenbin, doing so was just a means to achieve his goal.
Shen Wenbin can also have such thoughts, but for him, it is not a necessary thing.
Shen Wenbin has a clear understanding of this era. If everyone is a monologue, it will be impossible to survive.
