Chapter 294 Partner Two
He explained that he had already found the location of the coal mine, and there was no need to worry about sales - the coal was not sold locally, but shipped to other places. The Hai family does not need to participate in the management of the coal mine, they only need to sit on the ground and collect money.
Hai Shuzu saw that he was confident and no longer objected. Although he had many concerns, he couldn't help but think deeply about the current situation, so he immediately signed a contract to open a coal mine in partnership.
This coal kiln was nominally headed by Hai Shuzu, and Lin Baiguang sent people to take charge of its specific management. The two parties agreed to make annual accounts and then distribute dividends.
As for Hai Shuzu's current debt problem, Lin Baiguang expressed his willingness to pay him first so that he could take care of it.
"Brother will definitely pay back this money." Hai Shuzu said quickly.
"There's no rush." Lin Baiguang knew that he was very face-conscious, and now that he had received a lot of favor from him, he refused to take any more of his money. "Just consider it as an advance dividend. We will deduct it back when the dividend is distributed at the end of the year." "
"How to calculate interest"
"Hey, hey, this is too outrageous." Lin Baiguang smiled, "I'm not a moneylender, so don't mention what I want to do with interest."
Haikou Coal Mine signed a letter of intent for the project. Without further ado, Lin Baiguang quickly sent a telegram to the executive committee, reporting that he had negotiated with Hai Shuzu to cooperate in mining, and requested that funds be allocated for mining and professionals be sent to Qiongshan. Seeing that what he had planned for a long time finally came to light, Ma Qianzhu immediately approved 5,000 taels as the start-up cost. At the same time, he ordered the remote exploration team to immediately organize capable personnel and carry the data to Qiongshan for exploration. They have detailed information on the locations of coal mines in the Haikou area, and they only need to select the most suitable location for mining.
Lin Baiguang immediately took action as soon as he got the money. He first allocated part of it to Hai Shuzu to repay the shareholders' losses. In fact, the shareholders' losses were not large in terms of amount. The total amount was only more than a thousand taels, and they were all paid in full. . Finally, we invited all the troubled shareholders back.
As for the servants of the family who participated in the trouble, after the payment was made, each of them was given five taels of silver and asked to pack up their bed and leave. Hai Shuzu also let out a bad breath.
As for the small traders who died on the boat, they were also given five taels or ten taels as compensation as appropriate. This was not the responsibility of the Hai family at first. The family members only came to make trouble to burn a few taels of silver. Now since they are given After getting the money, if the trouble continues and the officials are alerted, they will have nothing to eat and walk away. They also dispersed.
Hai Shuzu's family treated Lin Baiguang as if they were a new benefactor. Hai Shuzu was grateful and said that he had nothing to thank him for and wanted to become a brother of the opposite sex with him.
Considering Hai Shuzu's background, it would be a great compliment for him to become a brother of the opposite sex with a foreign owner of Mihang. Lin Baiguang knew that the heterosexual brotherhood in ancient times was unusual - this was equivalent to Hai Shuzu having one foot on the "thief ship" that traveled through the group.
The members of the revamped remote exploration team, escorted by the Hai family, went out early every day and returned late every day. They quickly identified several mining sites in Qiongshan County and marked out the approximate land range needed. Hai Shuzu asked people to go and find out who the landlord was.
"It won't cost you more than a few bucks. It's all wasteland." Hai Shuzu said to Lin Baiguang. "If it's ownerless, just go to the county government to file a case and spend some money to buy it. If it's owner-occupied, it will take a few more days. .”
"There's no rush, just don't let this news get out."
"This foolish brother knows." Hai Shuzu nodded. If he knew that they were planning to open a coal mine, the landlord would not be able to raise the price. "The family members sent are all born in the same family, so they are the most reliable. Furthermore, I never told them. He hesitated for a moment, "Brother Yu has a saying that always sticks in his throat."
"Brother, please speak clearly."
It turns out that Hai Shuzu has been worried about the situation. He originally had to hide out from his debts, but now he can suddenly pay off the debts at once, and he can open a coal mine in the future. I wonder what the outside world will say if someone starts to talk about what he is doing secretly. He couldn't afford to make dirty money.
Lin Baiguang thought to himself that there were really such pedantic people in the world who were afraid of even the slightest gossip, so he would not go so far as to keep himself clean. He thought for a while and said:
"I heard that my brother has a big ship that has not returned yet."
"Why not? If it weren't for this boat, how could I have ended up in this situation, Brother Yu? Let's drink this cup." Hai Shuzu's originally gloomy outlook suddenly became brighter, and his mood was much better. He took care of the kitchen. For a side dish, cook it with a pot of home-brewed earthenware.
Lin Baiguang is secretly happy and is willing to buy you a drink, which shows that the other party means to express affection, which means that the true feelings between the two parties have grown one step further. Now I drank a drink first to show my sincerity. Although it is made from the soil in the countryside, it is not adulterated and the wine tastes very mellow.
Hai Shuzu also drank a drink, and then told the whole story. Of course Lin Baiguang knew this. After hearing what he said, he pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "The ship is now at the Australian people's place in Lingao." "Here"
"Yes, they also asked someone to send a message and asked me to pick up the boat. I really want to go. I can always recover some losses," Hai Shuzu said with a bitter smile, "But He Jiaci and Zhuo Jing are afraid that Brother Yu will never come back once he leaves, so It’s been delayed forever.”
"Brother, I have also heard of Australians in Guangzhou. Although they are overseas visitors, they are generally a group of businessmen who respect the rules."
"Brother Yu said the same thing - they already have the big ship and the goods on the ship, so why bother to tie up Brother Yu's ticket? With the wealth of Australians, how can they care about Brother Yu's small family fortune?" Hai Shuzu shook his head.
The words "With the wealth of Australians" moved Lin Baiguang's heart. Being rich and famous is not a good sign. Quickly ask: "Why do you think Australians are so rich?"
"Brother Xian, in Guangzhou, don't you know that Australian products are now so famous that even a remote and remote place like Qiongzhou has heard about them. Just a small crystal mirror is worth most of Brother Yu's family property." Hai Shuzu said with great interest. "If it weren't for Jia Ci and Zhuo Jing's urging, Brother Yu would have really wanted to go to Lingao to open his eyes and see what Australians look like and actually make so many ingenious things." He sighed with envy. Take a breath.
It seems that this person is not only very upright, but also values family affection. Lin Baiguang gained a little more confidence that the Crossing Group could effectively control him. After all, the Crossing Group will soon need some flags to show its political correctness.
"Brother, I know a few businessmen who do business with the Australians, and we get along very well with the Australians. If it is inconvenient for me to go, I can just send someone to do it. There is always no problem in getting the ship back." Lin Baiguang said. Now that I have established a relationship with him, there is no need for him to come. Just put it on the boat.
In fact, even if the ship comes back, including cargo damage and compensation, it will not be able to make up for the current shortfall. But the ship's return is at least an excuse to prevent anyone from thinking that the source of Hai Shuzu's money is unknown. Hai Shuzu is a smart man who knows everything at once. Knowing that this was Lin Baiguang's help to save his face in front of outsiders - he might have to spend more money to get the ship back. He quickly said:
"My dear brother, the cost of picking up the ship must also be recorded and paid back together with the dividends."
"Wherever there is any expense, maybe I can make a small profit." Lin Baiguang thought that the only thing he regretted was that he could not go to Lingao in person to see Lingao's "new society" and "new order". The publicity value of precedents as “admiralty courts” is much lower.
"Where, wherever, if you can get the boat back safely, it will be a blessing. As soon as the boat comes back, Brother Yu will sell it, and this useless sea trade will never be done again." Hai Shuzu was still frightened.
Lin Baiguang asked Chen Tong to go back to Lingao, and Hai Shuzu appointed Hai Ji to go with him. Hai Shuzu thought that there were not many family members who could recognize a few words, and there was only one Hai Ji who was reliable and relatively young.
Although Ma Jia failed to wait for the ideal Hai Shuzu in the end, he finally got an agent. According to the regulations he drew up, Ding, Ding, and Mao issued the documents one by one.
The case of Hai Shuzu's five-masted ship is a big one. It involves not only the ship, but also a lot of cargo and property. Some of them are completely damaged, some are partially damaged, and 20% of the damage must be deducted. Rescue fee. The various documents were bound into a book as thick as a book.
Haiji was taken to the Admiralty Court to hear the verdict read out. My heart was pounding. I don't know how much ransom the other party will ask me to pay before the ship can be released. Even though Master Lin is very proud and has specially appointed Manager Chen to follow, he still has no idea.
Haiji's general terminology immediately confused Haiji, but he finally understood a few points: First, he had to pay one-fifth of the total price of the ship and goods as a "ransom" - there was no rescue in Haiji's concept. Secondly, the ransom can be offset by the discount of the goods on the ship; thirdly, the Australians are willing to buy the goods at market price.
Of course Haiji nodded unanimously - although the Australians looked the same as the people of Ming Dynasty except for their hair and clothes, in Haiji's mind they were still a group of pirate-like characters. How dare you say "no"? If asked to sign, just sign; if asked to sign, just sign. Finally, I got a stack of documents and 1,174 taels of silver. The silver is the finest foot print silver and is packed in a special small box.
"This is the discounted price for the goods on your ship. You can check it out." Chen Tong explained, "We have already deducted one-fifth of the salvage fees for the ship and goods and the storage fees for these days - this It’s a breakdown.”
Haiji was stunned. The Australian was actually willing to give him money, which was beyond his expectation.
"The price of the goods is based on the market conditions in Guangzhou, so don't be too little." Chen Tong said with a smile.
"Where, where," Hai Ji woke up from his dream, "Don't you dare, don't you dare"
"The ship is below." Tong Chen said, "Let me see it."
