The three of them waited for Jie to pack up the guys he was working with, and followed him away from the seafood market and towards the port. The distance between the two places was not that far, but the distance was enough for Jie to communicate with Jiang Shao about the current situation.
"Really? You've come to Longmen to stay here." Zi is not that good at laughing, which makes it difficult for others to understand what he means when he talks. "Everywhere in Longmen is good, but the housing is too expensive. You should find a place to stay."
Have you ordered it?"
"Well, everything went smoothly." Jiang Shao responded, "It went so smoothly that this matter now seems to be more difficult than it was some time ago." At this point, Jiang Shao changed the topic: "Jie, on the pier.
Who are those people?" I really lack knowledge of these people, so it is necessary to get to know them temporarily.
"It's hard to say." Jie shook his head, "It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Everyone has their own business, so there won't be any way to survive, and no one will obey anyone."
It’s no wonder. After all, in such a big place, there are so many businesses: legal and illegal, those who transport goods and people, those who transport people, those who kill people, and those who steal goods. You can’t lock everyone’s way of making money. You can’t lock people’s necks.
, then everyone has to live in his own family, and no one can tolerate anyone else.
It’s a big head-scratcher. There is no unified person in charge. Do you have to ask questions one by one on your own? Go up and tell people, “Have you done any smuggling in the past few days?” It’s simply what a fool would do.
Jiang Yan thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to him: "This is not an illegal place. There is always a steward at the port who records the ship's disbursements, right?"
After thinking about it for a while, I was sure: "Yes - I have never been to the sea myself, but every time I watch the bow of the ship unloading goods, there will always be someone from the upper floor over there who comes down to order the goods with the boss of the ship. I guess leaving the port and entering the port
The records of the ships also belong to those people."
"Who are they? From the Guards Bureau?"
"It doesn't really count. Although we are also eating public food, we still belong to the dock side."
As soon as Jiang Zhe heard Zie's affirmation, his originally vague plan quickly took shape. "Azhe, Ansuo, follow my arrangements. When we get to the building later, it will be like this, like this..."
——
Jie led the two of them into the small building. Inside was a man whose cheeks had been baptized by the sea breeze all year round. He was sitting at the table wearing only an undershirt and trousers, idly fiddling with the pencil in front of him. Hearing the sound behind him, the man raised his head and turned back.
Looking over, I saw three people walking into the office, but the one in front looked familiar. "You are..."
"Hello, my name is Jie. I usually do seafood business and often come to the dock to purchase goods." Jie's movements and expressions were a bit stiff, and he could only try his best to put on a normal-looking smile.
"Ah, I remember you. You brought shrimps from Brother Shui's place last time." The man who works near the sea all year round is very simple, and we became familiar with each other just by looking at each other. "We haven't said hello yet, right?
I am a new record-keeper in this area, and I also work as an errand during my free time at sea. Just call me Roz."
"Well, Roz, that's it. This is Brother Yan behind me, the 'Bacchus'." Jie moved Jiang Yan behind him so that Roz could see clearly. "Brother Yan said he wanted to
I'm doing some maritime business and I want to talk to you about something."
"'Dionysus'? Could it be..." Jiang Yan looked at the recorder in front of him with a hint of doubt, took out a business card from his chest and gave it to An Suo behind him. An Suo deliberately lowered his head and took it with both hands, handing it to
Arriving in front of Roz, Roz took a look at the business card and wrote "Dukang Fight Club, 偊" in two lines, with a series of numbers on the back.
"Hello Brother Xie, welcome to the Dionysus." Although the main jurisdictions are different, Roz must also be aware of the return of Dionysus to regain power. After meeting each other and giving them honorifics, this simple man spoke unceremoniously:
"I heard that Dionysus once transported a batch of things to Zhongshui a long time ago, but if you want the elders here to help you do those things, I'm afraid you should look elsewhere - those things are too risky, and not a small fisherman can afford them.
of."
"Little fisherman?" Jiang Yan put on a kind smile, "You're being humble, brother. What I see are hundreds of strong and skilled sailors like you, holding harpoons and making a living.
Don't be nervous, I'm not the kind of ignorant person, and the business I'm here to discuss is not those things."
These two sentences made Roz confused, "You are in the boxing ring, and it has nothing to do with our business. What does this mean..."
"Just because we didn't have intersections in the past doesn't mean there won't be intersections now." Jiang Yan walked up to Roz naturally and put his arm around his shoulder. "As the old saying goes, don't put your eggs in one basket. In the past, the eggs in the boxing ring were
There are too many, and the basket is too small. Although Zhongshui helped us lift it, after all, the eggs are still in one basket. No matter how I think of ways to move the boxing ring to the open, it is just a business.
"
Roz was silent after hearing this. Jiang Yan saw this and knew it was effective, so he continued to guide, "So, I am now doing research in various fields. As you know, I am a newcomer in Longmen, and I have been thinking about other businesses.
They are both too dangerous and difficult, so catering is more suitable to test the waters."
"So, are you going to order some seafood?"
"Yes. To be more precise, we should cooperate with the wharf." Jiang Yan continued to strike while the iron was hot, "The prices you sell to seafood dealers are all low, and you make money based on volume. If I purchase goods from those seafood dealers, I will still be like this.
It's easy to say, I don't know how many times other people have doubled it for me - I raised some prices from the port and purchased large quantities, you made money, I spent less money, isn't this a good business?"
"Brother Yan is so insightful." Jiang Yan neither used force to force nor was he prepared to talk things out all by himself. This made Rozi feel quite useful and his attitude became much more enthusiastic. "Brother Yan, if you can bring Pier with you,
I will definitely be able to contribute to making money, but...this matter is a matter for the big guys at the dock, and I can't decide it by myself."
"I understand, I understand." The regret on Jiang Yan's face was mixed. Hearing this, he changed the subject and said, "I didn't think it through well. Besides, everyone on the dock has their own business, so I want to suddenly interfere like this."
And, I'm afraid it will also affect everyone's original life. How about this? I heard that the boat owners on the dock don't haul much fish. Why don't you mention a few that may have a surplus on hand? Let's start with them.
cooperate?"
"This is easy to handle." It's just to introduce a few people, not to mention the word "first". What if this kind of cooperation can be further expanded? Roz took out the notebook from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Yan, and everyone looked at it.
record and began to discuss it heatedly.
Little did they know that Jiang Yan and Jie made some small moves during the introduction...
