Seeing Chen Zhirong dragging Su Xiuning and Cui Qianxue away, Zhao Junchen let out an inconspicuous sigh. (800)Novel/[..]

In fact, Zhao Junchen does not like Chen Zhirong, because Zhao Junchen feels that Chen Zhirong is too scheming, too vicious, and his thoughts are a little twisted. However, Chen Zhirong always understands Zhao Junchen's attitude and hints, and is very clear about it. On the contrary, Zhao Junchen is very understanding. Chen Zhirong's thoughts and ideas are always clear and tacit, so when the two of them are together, they seem to have a perfect understanding.

As mentioned above, Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong are essentially the same type of people. The two people look at problems and think about things from a similar perspective, so it is not surprising that the two have such a tacit understanding.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Junchen sighed softly.

This means that, to some extent, Zhao Junchen has a self-loathing mentality.

*

However, for Zhao Junchen, this kind of mentality is just a trivial matter, and sighing softly is only a matter of a moment. Soon Zhao Junchen has calmed down his thoughts, put a smile on his face again, and raised his head to look at Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin Inviting: "Have you two had lunch? If you haven't, it's fate that we meet today. Why not come together?"

While talking, Zhao Junchen had already called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.

After receiving the invitation, Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin did not dare to refute Zhao Junchen's face, and both said "they haven't eaten yet". After a few polite words, they both sat next to Zhao Junchen and ate at the same table with Zhao Junchen. Wu Rongde also accompanied him.

In this way, Zhao Junchen and the three of them chatted while eating, just talking about casual things, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

During this period, Wu Youzhen and Cao Wenbin gradually relaxed a lot when they saw that Zhao Junchen really had no intention of pursuing the matter.

At this moment, Zhao Junchen changed the topic and talked about the current situation of "Rongfa Shipbuilding".

"Boss Wu. I heard someone said that the current situation of your Rongfa Shipping Company is not good?"

After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Wu Youzhen became a little wary out of business instinct. But the current situation of "Rongfa Trading Company" is not a secret, so after hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth and sighed: "My 'Rongfa Trading Company' is rooted in Xuzhou. Since the Xuzhou river gradually became depressed. I'm 'Rongfa Trading Company' It has been getting worse and worse. In recent years, it has only managed to maintain its balance without losing money. There is no profit at all, but it is very laborious and very miserable. Read the full text of the latest chapter. To be honest, Mr. Zhao, if it weren't for the nearly 500 boatmen in Xuzhou, , porters rely on "Rongfa Shipping Company" to make a living. If "Rongfa Shipping Company" collapses, they and their wives and daughters will lose their livelihood. I am afraid that they will have given up on "Rongfa Shipping Company" and switched to other businesses. .”

Zhao Junchen just showed a hint of admiration and said: "It turns out that Boss Wu actually thinks so much about his boatmen and porters. He really has a bodhisattva heart. Zhao admires... In addition, all industries in Xuzhou are now in depression, Boss Wu can To maintain Rongfa Shipbuilding without losing money, such business methods are far superior to others. Come on, let me toast to Boss Wu."

Wu Youzhen quickly picked up the wine glass and drank with Zhao Junchen. Seeing that Zhao Junchen was treating her politely, the vigilance in her heart dissipated a lot, and she sighed: "Actually, I don't have a Bodhisattva heart. It's really hard for me to ride a tiger. I'm sailing on the boat. Those boatmen and porters have all been working at Rongfa Shipyard since their grandfathers, and they are loyal to the shipyard. If I just abandon them, I'm afraid they will make trouble with my Wu family!"

Zhao Junchen asked curiously: "Since the opening of the Jian Canal, Xuzhou's position in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has been replaced by Zaozhuang. In this case, why doesn't Boss Wu transfer Rongfa Shipping to Zaozhuang? There are many opportunities there, and maybe the situation can be reversed. .”

Wu Youzhen smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to leave our homeland. Our 'Rongfa Boating Company' has taken root in Xuzhou. All the properties of my Wu family are in Xuzhou. Most of the boatmen and porters in the boating company are from Xuzhou. Under such circumstances , how can we just leave? What’s more, it’s difficult for no one in the court to make money. I don’t have government connections in Zaozhuang. I’m afraid I won’t be able to compete with other shipping companies. Then I will lose Xuzhou’s business, which is not worth the loss. "

At this point, Wu Youzhen's face was full of sadness, and Cao Wenbin on the side also sighed. On the contrary, Wu Rongde didn't see any change in his expression, and just curled his lips slightly.

Obviously, Wu Youzhen is just a conservative person. Although his business skills are good, he does not have the ambition and courage to develop.

On the contrary, Wu Rongde on the side seemed to have a different view.

So, Zhao Junchen turned to Wu Rongde and asked: "Does Mr. Wu have the same views as your father?"

Wu Rongde was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Zhao Junchen would ask him for his opinion.

Originally, Wu Rongde didn't want to answer seriously, but after taking a look at his father Wu Youzhen, he changed his attention and said slowly: "According to Cao Min's idea, whether it is to abandon the boat shop and switch to other businesses, or to move the boat shop business to Zaozhuang, it is all. Possible strategies, although there will be some difficulties, but as long as you think about it seriously, there will always be countermeasures. But no matter what, you can't drag it on half-dead like now. You must ask for changes. If you don't change, you can only wait for closure. …”

This statement seemed to accuse his father, which naturally aroused Wu Youzhen's angry glare.

However, although Wu Youzhen looked annoyed by Wu Rongde's statement, he was not surprised. Apparently the father and son had already discussed this issue.

After looking at Wu Youzhen again, Wu Rongde's expression remained unchanged, and he just continued: "In the eyes of ordinary people, the fact that 'Rongfa Trading Company' is not making money is the second best thing, but the biggest taboo in doing business is a pool of stagnant water, leaving everyone idle. ! In this way, the people at the top will lose their enterprising spirit, and the people at the bottom will become inert. At that time, they will be terminally ill and there is no cure. This is the case for today's 'Rongfa Shipbuilding', with an annual business volume of For just a little while, most people are idle and gradually become accustomed to it. They don't want to make progress or change. A lot of manpower and money are wasted. If these wasted manpower and money are used in other aspects, whether it is If you switch to other industries or move the shipping company to Zaozhuang, I'm afraid it will be somewhat effective..."

Having said this, Wu Rongde shook his head repeatedly with regret on his face.

When he was in Yuerongfang, Zhao Junchen discovered that although Wu Rongde had a bit of a dandy temperament, he had a clear mind and logical thinking, and was not an ordinary person.

now. After hearing Wu Rongde's thoughts, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with appreciation.

In fact, although Wu Youzhen's idea of ​​Shoucheng is somewhat conservative, it is not necessarily wrong. Because the word "seeking change" is simple to say, but difficult to implement. A slight mistake will cause a series of chain effects, so Wu Youzhen should be cautious.

Although Wu Rongde's idea of ​​aggressiveness and change is admirable, it is not entirely correct. Because this world is very cruel, the principle of "you get what you pay for" is largely comforting, but Wu Rongde obviously doesn't understand this yet, and only considers success, but not failure.

But in any case, Wu Rongde was able to express such an opinion, even if there was some suspicion of "high vision and low hand", it was enough to make Zhao Junchen look at him differently again.

On the side, Wu Youzhen glared at Wu Rongde, then smiled bitterly at Zhao Junchen and said: "Quinzi is inexperienced in worldly affairs. He always speaks a little too naturally, which makes Mr. Zhao laugh. There are many things in this world that are easy to say, but you need to think about it when you actually do it. Changes have occurred in all aspects, but Quanzi always doesn't understand this, alas..."

Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "In any case, Mr. Wu can express such an opinion, which is impressive enough. It also shows that he is serious about doing things and is not a playboy. If Boss Wu feels that Mr. Wu is a bit talkative, he can let him Let’s do some practical things. Young people cannot grow without experience, nor can they mature without setbacks. Naturally, they cannot understand Boss Wu’s considerations.”

Listen to what Zhao Junchen said. Wu Youzhen also looked slightly moved.

Just when Wu Youzhen was seriously considering it, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "However, if 'Rongfa Shipping Company' intends to develop in Zaozhuang, I can provide help. Zaozhuang is under the jurisdiction of Shandong, and the newly appointed Shandong Governor Li Lide Li Your Excellency has a close relationship with me. If Boss Wu wants to move Rongfa Shipping Company to Zaozhuang, I can write a letter of introduction to Mr. Li Lide and ask him to take care of you."

As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, the expressions of Wu Youzhen, Wu Rongde and his son, as well as Cao Wenbin on the side, all changed.

Obviously, Zhao Junchen wanted to buy out "Rongfa Shipping Company" for his own use.

Although the Wu family and his son did not understand why Zhao Junchen fell in love with the small "Rongfa Shipping Company", they were shocked and did not dare to agree easily.

Without him, "Rongfa Shipping" now has a backer, and this backer is Cao Wenbin, the minister of household affairs in Nanjing, who is sitting next to him!

Although Cao Wenbin is far less powerful than Zhao Junchen and cannot provide much help, because they are related to each other, although this backer is not big, it is at least reassuring. Although Zhao Junchen's backer is powerful, his ulterior motives make people feel uneasy!

Also, if "Rongfa Shipping Company" abandoned Cao Wenbin and took refuge with Zhao Junchen, where would Cao Wenbin's face go? Wouldn't he be laughed at by his colleagues? In this case, wouldn't Cao Wenbin break with "Rongfa Shipping"? And if "Rongfa Shipping Company" is so inconsistent, won't its reputation be destroyed in one day?

In addition, "Rongfa Shipping Company" has a close relationship with Cao Wenbin. If after "Rongfa Shipping Company" defected to Zhao Junchen, people misunderstood that Cao Wenbin also defected to Zhao Junchen, then how would Cao Wenbin's immediate boss, Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Tang Zhen, deal with it? Cao Wenbin? From now on, won’t it be difficult for Cao Wenbin to move forward in the officialdom?

These situations require serious consideration.

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Junchen's "kind reminder", Wu Youzhen remained silent, and Wu Rongde hesitated for a moment, perhaps thinking of Chen Zhirong's matter, and did not speak either.

As for Cao Wenbin, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, he looked at Zhao Junchen with a deep expression - poaching in front of him. Cao Wenbin only felt that Zhao Junchen was a little too bullying.

Don't you know that Zhao Junchen not only wants to buy "Rongfa Trading Company", but also wants to take Cao Wenbin as his disciple!

If Cao Wenbin takes refuge, it will be much easier for Zhao Junchen to deal with Tang Zhen, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing!
