The industrial park has been one of the topics that everyone talks about in Yongchuan City since the day it was platted. And as time goes by, more and more people will have more direct expectations and ideas for the industrial park.
Those who open taverns and inns, those who sell groceries, those who are pimps and do noodle business, and those who set up stalls and do small businesses will all be able to see the huge business potential in the industrial park as long as they have a little bit of imagination. what does that mean? It means a new incremental market and a way to make money! Not everyone can say these truths, but they think the same thing in their hearts.
It’s just that if you can think of many businesses, others can naturally think of them too. So there are fast hands and there are slow hands.
Just set up a stall and do some small business. No one will compete with you. You just need to make an agreement with the people at the knife shop and pay the cleaning fee on time and according to the rules.
If you want to do some business on the table, it is not that easy.
There is no need to worry about the most important iron smelting and iron-making business in the industrial park. It has long been taken over by several of the largest iron smelting and iron-making companies in Yongchuan City.
It is not just the two major industries of iron smelting and iron making. The two roads for food and accommodation have also been eaten up. Not to mention squeezing in, if you dare to take another look, the knife on your side will slap your face swollen. It is clear that this is a business that the knife shop has a hand in.
Then there are transportation, docks, etc., which have all been divided up long ago.
Only some small businesses that were looked down upon by others took root in the industrial park and became more and more prosperous.
For example, a braised food stall originally opened in Dongcheng for less than five years. Because there is no good location, although it has always had a good reputation, the business is still tepid and half-dead. Now the stall owner saw the opportunity early and forced her husband's family to change the stall. After some contacts, she found a stall at the intersection of the main road not far from the blast furnace.
At first, the stall owner was still sad that the cleaning fee here was much higher than elsewhere. Later, after only half a month, I stopped mentioning the cleaning fee. I was so busy all day that my feet didn’t touch the floor, and I collected too much money in my pocket. It was so heavy that my neck felt sore.
Two months later, the stall not only became more and more prosperous, but also saved up money to buy a small shop next to it, and then paid extra cleaning fees to set up a shed outside the shop so that people who came to buy braised food could go there. We set up a table outside to eat, and the stall also sells white rice. Add braised rice and a spoonful of marinade. Wow, the taste will definitely make you unable to walk.
Even Wang Si of the Knife Shop can't settle the accounts for "Lin Family Braised Meat". After one month, the net profit of this shop is no worse than that of a small restaurant, and may even exceed it.
It's noon now. Most of the blast furnace workers and blacksmiths come here to eat after work. Lin's Braised Meat business is as booming as ever. Those who come here to eat are all craftsmen. Ordinary laborers or handymen are not qualified to come here. After all, most of what Lin's braised food sells are meat dishes, and meat dishes are not cheap.
"Oh, it smells good! I just said there must be a restaurant here, do you think?"
"Okay, find a seat and sit down. Why are you speaking so loudly?"
At this time, a group of five people came from the direction of the dock. Four of the five were tall and thick-set men, wearing short attire and carrying axes on their waists. Each has a strong aura about them. People who have traveled a lot will think that they look like hunters, but the fierceness between their eyebrows makes them look like thieves. He was wearing slippers again, and he looked like someone from a boat gang.
But seeing these five people in the shed, most diners chose to avoid them. After all, the people eating here are working people, so there is no need to get into trouble if you see people who don't look like troublesome people. If there is no table to sit on, you can just squat on the roadside and eat. It doesn’t matter.
The five of them were not polite, and when they saw someone taking the initiative to give up their seats, they sat over there. The small table was a little crowded. The one with the loudest voice was about to fight for another table, but the older one among them glared at him and finally stopped his move.
I ordered three large pots of braised pork trotters, pork tripe, and beef tongue, plus a bowl of white rice with marinated sauce. It was tempting.
Several people were also hungry, so each of them did not say a word. They started cooking. After they had filled their stomachs, the older man began to speak, and said in a low voice: "Did you see clearly what happened on the pier just now?"
"Well, you can see clearly that this pier is not small now, and the terrain is very suitable for building towards the big pier. I estimate that after the construction is completed, the scale will be larger than the main pier in Beicheng, at least there will be more than 10% more berths! "
"There are still guards. Apart from the laborers who are loading and unloading, the rest is guarded by a team of waist knives from the knife studio. But the guards are very strict. They should take turns during the day and night. There are just fewer people."
"What can you do if you don't have enough people? How dare you rob the place? This place is different from the road on the mountain. If you dare to mess around, we won't be able to run away if the whistle of the knife shop goes off."
"Bah! Mad, did I say that the place was robbed because there were so few people? What I meant was that the people at the knife shop at the dock are in the hands. This is completely consistent with the news we bought from others before we came here!"
The five of them all kept their voices down, and no one in the noisy shed would care what they said.
"That's enough! Now that you've seen the roll call, just know it in your mind. And have you noticed a little thin man sitting at the door of the hut next to the pier?"
"I saw the boss. That guy looks very similar to the guy who was summoned before. His name should be Wang Lin."
"Well, it's that boy. So we didn't go to the wrong door this time. But we have to pay attention to a method, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding and the loss will outweigh the gain."
"Boss, why don't you speak to Wang Lin directly?"
"No. The road over to Wang Lin is blocked. Otherwise we wouldn't have come here. Let's eat first. After dinner, go to the waist knife on the other side of the pier to check the wind. If there is a door, we can change the road. Walk."
"Boss, are there any risks in doing this?"
"Do you think you're here to enjoy the sights? There's no need for you to come here for something that's not risky? Come on, eat quickly. It's time to get back to work after eating."
In the afternoon, Zhang Wu had just had lunch and went to Zhang Shun to ask for a cup of tea, and then walked around the dock holding the handle of the knife on his waist, followed by three waist knives, and his eyes were looking everywhere from time to time. Everyone passing by has to shout "Brother Wu". This made Zhang Wu say nothing, but he was very happy in his heart. It's much more prestigious than being the ringleader in a money shop.
But just after half a circle, Zhang Wu saw five new faces coming towards him on the road beside the pier.
"Huh? What do you guys do?" Zhang Wu called out to the other party.
"Is this Brother Wu? We came here with Sanshen Shipyard in the morning. We want to do some business here. Can you give us some advice if it's not convenient?"
When Zhang Wu saw that the other party was speaking first, he took out a golden object from his arms and patted it in his hand. The weight and texture of the food made Zhang Wu feel "ouch" in his heart.
Golden piece!
"Tsk tsk! It seems that the road you are looking for is not small? What road? In the mountains? In the water? Or at both ends?" Zhang Wu also understood. A serious businessman would not ask someone like him from a knife shop for advice. If the money is so generous, it must have a lot of background.
"Hey, he sells stones. This kind of stone. We had contact with the "Bai Zhen Tang" of the knife shop here before, but then the contact was broken. I wonder if Brother Wu can help to renew it?"
Zhang Wu's eyes trembled when he heard this. "Bai Zhen Tang"? Isn't this just a sword? Moreover, the stone in the opponent's hand looks very strange. It is neither gold nor jade and has a streamer transmission. It is not an ordinary object at first glance.
"You are looking for "Bai Zhentang"? There should be a token, right?"
Hearing this, the man knew there was something going on, so he put the stone in Zhang Wu's hand and said with a smile: "This is a token. We will wait at the newly opened inn in front and won't leave for three to five days. , please give Brother Wu a lot of help."
