Chapter 80 Finding Land

At present, there are almost all trade-related guilds.

These guilds have at least three or five merchants, and at most twenty or thirty merchants. They coordinate and compete in their own industries. Over the past two or three hundred years, the southern prefectures have been stable and have made most industries very stable. Merchants and guilds are closely linked with local governments. Even if the court fights the old ones fall down, all industries are firmly controlled by a few big families, and each has trade targets, either big food, Korean or Japanese, and they usually don’t miss the rivers. They meet and smile and welcome each other to have tea and have dinner together.

In this case, if a newcomer who has no foundation and no power support wants to come in and get in, touching everyone's cheese will inevitably cause dissatisfaction.

And it is inevitable to make your business start legally and smoothly.

Only when the freight operation meeting talks with several bigwigs can Zhao Qi, the first warehouse of Debang Logistics, start business smoothly.

At present, the main staff of the Debang warehouse have been built. Zhao Qi is responsible for making suggestions behind the scenes, as the chairman, Yang Dayuan is responsible for all the dealings on the surface, as the general manager, Yang Dahu is responsible for recruiting personnel and building warehouses to purchase vehicles and ships, etc., belongs to the logistics manager, Ermazi and Ermao are responsible for running errands to manage porters and migrant workers, etc., etc., and belongs to the business manager.

However, as a qualified company structure, there is another crucial department, that is, the Finance Department is indispensable. However, a qualified accounting department has not been found yet, so the position of this financial manager is temporarily vacant and Zhao Qixian is temporarily appointed.

Originally, Zhao Qi liked Chen Ji very much, but he and Yao Ran were two juren after all. Maybe they would pass the Jinshi in three years and use Jinshi as the accountant. I am afraid that only the Song Dynasty court dared to do this.

Therefore, Zhao Qi's idea came back shortly after he suppressed it.

But it doesn't work now, and I don't guarantee it won't work in the future.

Although he had only had a few days of contact, Zhao Qi still agreed with the character and character of Chen Ji and Yao Ran. He was definitely considered two gentlemen. The most important thing is that they were not pedantic. If you want to use the backdoor to go to Yang Zhishui to run to the county quota, you can see that they are relatively socialized senior intellectuals.

In order to enable Debang Logistics' first warehouse to be opened smoothly at Qingyuan Mansion Wharf, Zhao Qi took out 300 taels of silver and asked Yang Dayuan to take it with him, and went to the warehouse guild guild to visit the wharf with Chen Ji and Yao Ran.

Maybe the two men had a great face, maybe the white silver patterned plays a role. Anyway, after an hour, Chen Ji and Yao Ran looked relaxed, saying that they were very happy to drink tea and chat. Xingshou and several bigwigs were very happy, and they all agreed that the Debang warehouse was very good and would come to congratulate Yunyun when it opened. Only Yang Dayuan felt distressed and didn't say anything for a long time. The three hundred taels of silver only got a few and a half. The old man almost said nothing without waiting. On the way back, he was bleeding all the way, from the dock to Zhao Qi's broken cave.

Having been recognized by the freight operation meeting and the government has also registered, the construction of the freight warehouse can officially begin.

However, Ermao, Ermazi and Yang Dayuan mobilized countless forces to inquire in the harbor near Yanggong Town for several days, but they did not find a suitable place to build a warehouse.

Good areas near the wharf have been occupied by people, while bad areas have vacant land, but they are far away from the wharf. Not only is it inconvenient to enter and exit the warehouse, it will also consume more time and manpower.

The logistics industry is originally a labor-intensive industry, which basically relies on manpower to transport. The biggest expense of opening a warehouse is the transportation fee. Moving from the ship to the dock, from the dock to the cargo warehouse, and from the warehouse to the dock, there are labor fees back and forth, and there are a lot of merchant ships and cargoes coming and going on the dock, so there is also a lot of demand for porters and helpers. The salary is too low and no one is willing to come. If the salary is high, the competitiveness with peers will naturally be weakened.

These are the simplest theories. Even if Zhao Qi doesn't say it, gangsters like Ermazi and Ermao are aware of it.

The former gangsters are now going to become shareholders of warehouses. Ermao and Ermazi are naturally very excited and excited. At the same time, they are also very dedicated to what they have given to them. The situation after a few days of inquiry made both of them feel a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Qi, this is the case now. Not only is the land expensive and unavailable to buy a good place. It is also a problem to buy a bad place. You even need to build a road by yourself..."

Several people sat under the pergola of the cave, and in front of them was a brief map of Yanggong Town and the nearby harbor pier.

At this time, the map had already circled the idle spaces that I had found in recent days with a brush, but you can see at a glance that if these circles were either far away from Yanggong Town or several miles away from the wharf, even if they were built, moving back and forth would be a huge trouble.

"Brother Chen, otherwise you would rent a boat to Guangzhou and Fuzhou first. These locations are indeed not good at the moment, and it will cost a lot of money to build a warehouse. If you use this money to rent a boat, you can rent three or five large cargo ships..." Yao Ran reminded.

"No, no, chartering a boat seems cheap, but we have no experience in sailing and need to hire a large number of skilled boatmen and sailors. Moreover, we have no source of freight, and we don't have a customer in our hands. It's useless to have a ship or no cargo. We can only open the warehouse and wait until we accumulate certain customers and cargo resources in our hands, and then rent a boat and run transportation by ourselves!" Zhao Qi shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"Yes, Brother Zhao is more careful. If you have a cargo ship but no merchants or cargo, you will definitely lose money. In a few months, you may be wasted the 20,000 pounds." Chen Ji nodded with his short clump of black beard.

"Buy land first when you have money. This is the best way to ensure that assets do not depreciate. As long as you buy a piece of land, even if our warehouse cannot be opened in the end, you can at least use it for something else, and even if you sell it again, you may still make some money. However, these locations are not good at the moment, and even if you buy it, you will not be easy to sell it in the future..."

Zhao Qi stood beside the table with his arms in his arms, his eyes constantly sweeping around the map. Finally, his eyes fell near a narrow bay northwest of Yanggong Town, so he pointed at him and asked, "Uncle Dayuan, which village is the territory of this?"

"This is Dawan Village!" Yang Dayuan said quickly.

"Dawan Village... Isn't that the village where the young lady of the Lu family cousin and daughter-in-law last time?" Zhao Qi was surprised.

"It's them. Maybe the last time I happened was done by the pig intestine in Dawan Village and the others?" Yang Dayuan nodded.
