There were just a few people coming to the Shibo Department to do business today. He passed by the back of the corridor and happened to hear two businessmen talking:
"Why are the slugs coming out again? I went through the West Fjords yesterday and saw several slugs swimming in the sea. They were so big that they were almost catching up with the little whales!"
"Ah, is your ship okay?"
"As soon as we ran away, the scorpions chased us and wandered right in front of the bow for a long time. Everyone on the ship was frightened. They kept poking their heads out of the water, as if they were observing something, and then they swam away after half a stick of incense." This man was still frightened.
"Didn't you say that this sea area is already safe?"
"When did you say that?"
"The new owner of the Yangshan Islands, can't he restrain the Yin Fei?"
"It's really an exaggeration. Who knows how true or false it is?" The companion reacted, "Oh, that's not right. Yin Hui has never been to the West Fjord before, which is outside the scope of the Yangshan Islands."
"Ever since the accident on the archipelago some time ago and the tide of evil corpses, they have been running around everywhere." The businessman sighed, "Now it's not surprising that they appear from anywhere."
Wu Tiju listened to a few words casually and didn't care.
Just when Zhao Qianshi came in from outside, Wu Ti raised his hand and called the person to the cubicle and asked:
"Have you prepared the accounts for last month? In three days, you have to hand over the silver envelope to the treasury."
"It's all done, don't worry." Zhao Qianshi looked around and saw that the two businessmen had walked away before saying, "Yangshan Islands haven't come to submit inspections in the past few days. I heard that their palm oil has been harvested
For the most part, we also tinkered with a lot of new products.”
Seeing that Wu Tiju didn't say anything, he asked again: "What do you think?"
Wu Tiju rolled his eyes: "After all, the new owner of Yangshan Islands has just entered this industry. The newbie has no experience and it is difficult to control the quality. The Shipping Department must strictly control his products, inspect them repeatedly, and urge them to pass the standards as soon as possible.
"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Qianshi immediately grasped the two key words "strict" and "repeated". Speaking of which, Wu Ti's family's palm forest seems to have had a bumper harvest, and they are shipping these days. Every time
During this season, foreign merchants will come to Blade Port to collect palm oil.
After another twenty days or so, the merchants would have finished negotiating and taking orders, and they would all find their way home.
Zhao Qianshi understood Wu Tiju's request. The sales and store opening licenses in the Yangshan Islands would definitely not be obtained in this half month. In the later period, if the Yangshan Islands wanted to sell oil, it would not be that easy.
As soon as the local harvest season is over, the big merchants who purchase bulk commodities will leave the port and rush to other areas to split and resell the materials on hand; after they leave, only small traders and civilians are left to buy sporadically in Blade Port and the fjord.
To put it simply, the difference between the two is wholesale and retail. Volume and price are not the same level.
The Yangshan Islands' commodities are mainly palm oil, and the volume of goods is huge, so it must be connected with bulk buyers. Once the delivery season is missed, a large amount of goods will be piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold. The small amount of goods in the retail market will be of little use.
The accumulation of goods will lead to poor circulation and poor capital turnover——
Money can only continue to generate money if it circulates at high speed in the transaction process. For novice island owners like He Lingchuan with limited financial resources, once the goods cannot be sold, it will easily form a financial sinking spiral.
Zhao Qianshi immediately expressed his position: "In the later period of Xiaguan, I will work hard to help them improve their quality, so that they can live up to the trust of many foreign businessmen in Blade Port."
Wu Tiju sighed with emotion: "Only by improving quality and building a good reputation will it be conducive to the long-term development of Yangshan Islands and Blade Port!"
Zhao Qianshi said softly: "Sir, I heard that the island owner named He has some abilities. Even the pirates who have been roaming the islands for many years were conquered by him."
This matter was a hot topic more than half a month ago. Officials from Blade Port have confirmed the authenticity of the news and find it incredible.
Zhao Qianshi rejected Yangshan Islands' application three times, and he felt a little worried.
After all, the other party is different from ordinary merchants.
Does this kind of trouble have to be left to him?
"How can those pirates on the Yangshan Islands have any real skills?" Wu Tiju snorted, "It's just that the evil there is so strong that it's impossible to make a normal living. Pirates are like weeds, they will grow after being cut several times, and in the end no one will bother to follow.
They care."
"It seems that the Yin evil spirit has also been driven away by Lord He Dao?"
"Seeing is believing. Nowadays, the gray fog is still lingering deep in the archipelago. Do you think it can really be dispelled?" Wu Tiju sneered, "Some people want to pursue fame before pursuing profit. Once they have a big reputation, they are afraid that money will not come rolling in.
?”
"But I heard that several islands have been exterminated..." Zhao Qianshi immediately changed his mind when he saw his boss's face, "It has been several months since this 'He Island Master' came to Blade Port, but he has never visited you. How arrogant!
"
"It is said that he has entertained many dignitaries and businessmen, but he only sent his supervisor named Ding to visit me." Wu Ti said with a smile, "Young man, haha."
If he doesn't nod, a bottle of oil or a piece of paper in Yangshan Islands can't be sold in Blade Port!
The two returned to the front office to work. As soon as they sat down, a man ran in from outside. He had a white face and bright clothes, and looked anxious. He almost fell down when he crossed the threshold.
It was almost late autumn, and he was still sweating profusely. He shouted to Wu Tiju: "Teacher, something bad is going to happen!"
This is Wu Tiju's apprentice. He runs his own private school. He is a good teacher and personable on weekdays. How has he ever lost his composure like this?
Wu Tiju frowned: "Is the sky falling? Sit down and speak slowly."
"The Baoji sank."
Wu Tiju stood up and reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense!"
"It should have entered the port yesterday morning, but it has not returned. This morning, the crew of the Baoji took a sampan back from the sea and said that the ship was attacked by scorpions. Their counterattack failed and they had to evacuate. Then, and then they watched helplessly
The ship sinks.”
The Baoji was Wu Tiju's ship, but it was only in the name of this disciple.
The length of the boat is ten feet. It is not the largest boat in his hands, but it is the latest. It was only undocking and launched last year.
The keel of the Baoji was a rare white hemlock, which was given to Wu Tiju by someone else. The Baoji built with it was extremely fast, and Wu Tiju himself often took it to sea.
Now that he heard that the ship had sunk, Wu Tiju felt bad:
"What's going on! Why did the Yin Fei attack my ship? Did it enter the Yangshan Islands waters?"
"No, no, it was attacked when it passed the Westfjords!"
As soon as the word "West Fjord" came out, Wu Tiju swallowed his saliva. Zhao Qianshi beside him couldn't help but said: "West Fjord! The two businessmen just now also said that Yin Hui was looking at them in the West Fjord.
The ship stayed with them for a long time, but did not attack them."
Now Wu Tiju thought his voice was harsh: "I heard it."
"Isn't the Yin Fei looking for your ship?"
Wu Tiju said nothing with a cold face.
When would a monster like the Yinpi swim out of the depths of the Yangshan Islands and specifically attack a certain ship?
