After listening to the shop owner's words, Zhu Chongba did not feel that he had achieved a complete victory, because in Zhu Chongba's view, the best choice was not to force others to do business with him, but to make the other party willing.
"Boss, you have to know that when we do business, we don't just want to do business once. We want to do business for a long time. Do you have this plan? If you ask me to say that the term of cooperation is when the world changes, what do you think?" Zhu Chongba said domineeringly.
"Changing the sky and the earth? Does Master Rujing also see that the sky is about to change? Master Rujing, I hope that the sky will change quickly and become a sky for us Han people. I really have had enough of this kind of life." The shop owner He said this very slowly, but his expression was very solemn.
What Zhu Chongba originally wanted to say was, of course I knew something was going to change today! Because I did it! But Zhu Chongba would not say that. After all, things are done, not said.
"Actually, this matter should be clear now. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand it, right?" Zhu Chongba said in the end.
"Master Rujing is such an eminent monk! What you say is so simple, but it is very profound. You can explain the whole world's major events so clearly in one sentence. I admire Master Rujing very much and wish to have a long relationship with Master Rujing." business partners, how about we hold a signing ceremony now, because my purchase price is different every time, then I will add a little reasonable profit, and then I will pack the grain and give it to you for transportation. You see How about this?" The shop owner looked at Zhu Chongba and said slowly.
"I agree with your proposal, owner. It's very good. In fact, when I do business, I not only want to find a long-term partner, but also need a win-win situation for everyone every time I do business. Everyone gets what they need. This is the way to do long-term business." . Also, the person who will contact the shop owner on our behalf in the future will be Master Haicheng. You have just been..., right, you are already very familiar with it, so that's okay." Zhu Chongba said with a smile.
"Actually, Master Haicheng is really good, and he likes my temperament very much. We are very close to each other. Oh, to be honest, I have only been able to talk so much to Master Haicheng in my whole life, but for other people, I really What's more, I speak very little. Master Rujing, I have no other meaning when I say this. Don't take it to heart! Okay, how about let's just settle it like this. Now let's hold the signing ceremony. Invite Master Haicheng to come over OK?"
Of course, Zhu Chongba would not refuse such a suggestion and immediately asked Master Haicheng to come over to attend the signing ceremony. Of course, Zhu Chongba also found many other monks from Qixia Temple, including Da Zi and Xiaochun, to participate, so that everyone could Knowing this, it made the ceremony seem grand.
After the food purchase was settled, Zhu Chongba then thought about the next step, which was the most critical thing. His fleet and convoys were what he cared about most, and they were also the core competition between Zhu Chongba and the others. force.
In Zhu Chongba's imagination, no one should know about them at first. After a while, their famous names will be known on both sides of the Grand Canal.
They will all hear that a monk's grain transport fleet has appeared, and they are very friendly when transporting grain.
They don't want to cause trouble, but if someone wants to cause trouble, they are not afraid, they just treat others in their own way.
They want to do business for profit and don't want to do other things. This is Zhu Chongba's next plan.
The most critical issue is transportation, and the most important thing is ships. Grain transport ships should always choose the best quality ships.
This matter cannot be taken carelessly, because he transports a lot of grain each time. If the ship sinks due to the quality of the ship, Zhu Chongba will suffer great losses.
Grain cannot touch water. Regarding this matter, he also asked Xiao Chen'er to contact the shipbuilding merchants. After making contact, Zhu Chongba came to see the ship in person.
Of course, he also needs a master who is familiar with ships to inspect the goods, because after all, he is a monk now, and he is as separated as a mountain.
To be honest, only those who often run on the water know what kind of boat is the best.
Especially those people who often walk on the Grand Canal are what Zhu Chongba is most concerned about, because you have experience in other places and have little connection with what Zhu Chongba wants to do.
The entire journey is on the Grand Canal, so it really needs to be very strictly verified whether there is something wrong with the ship.
If Zhu Chongba chose Zhenjiang, he really chose the right place. If he had not chosen this place, it would have been difficult to solve his ship problem.
Because there are several shipyards here in Zhenjiang, and these shipyards have been around for a long time.
The ships they built were mainly for the Grand Canal. It really took no effort to get them without trying to find anywhere. Zhu Chongba came to whatever he wanted.
Because this matter was arranged for Xiao Chun'er, it didn't take long at all. Xiao Chun and Da Zi came to report to Zhu Chongba together.
In fact, it was Da Zi who handled this matter, but Xiao Chun'er was worried and went to the scene to see it again.
It turned out that Zhu Chongba arranged for Da Zi to collect grain, so Da Zi walked around very carefully for several times.
Because Zhu Chongba also told him that it was about transporting grain. So Dazi also took a closer look at the ship.
Sure enough, Huangtian paid off. At this moment, when Zhu Chongba needed to know the information about the shipyard, Dazi told Xiao Chun'er all the information he knew.
Because Xiao Chun'er was also more attentive, the two of them went to the scene together and verified it again. Because this matter was very important, after Xiao Chun'er completed the verification, he told Zhu Chongba this information.
It’s called shopping around, so Xiao Chun’er really chose three companies this time.
Shipbuilding is different from harvesting grain. Although there are many people to collect grain from, there are actually very few businesses that can cooperate with you for a long time.
For a grain transport ship, you have to look at its sturdiness, aesthetics, practical performance, and service life.
These things require your careful observation. If you don't do these things, then... You won't buy a perfectly suitable boat.
So you need to worry about everything yourself, otherwise, you won't get the results you want.
In fact, regarding the issue of the grain transport fleet, Zhu Chongba also wanted to take a two-step approach. The first step is to use other people's grain ships. He pays the freight and transports his own grain. Only when there is enough profit can he have own fleet of grain transport ships.
