"We have never walked through this waterway, but it is familiar again. We will know everything once we go there! Cousin, you are worrying too much!"
After hearing what his cousin said, Xiong Shaotang realized that he was a little narrow-minded. Although he was a little greedy and didn't want to share the profits with others, it was for his own business after all, so it was understandable.
Now, seeing what his cousin meant, he just said a few words about himself, without getting too angry, so he boldly defended his own decision-making behavior this time.
Seeing that he was still arrogant, the second master felt that iron was not as good as iron. His tone turned serious from the gentle teaching just now. He glared at Xiong Shaotang and said, "Are you really not aware of the risks involved? Or are you just pretending to be confused?"
Xiong Shaotang had just relaxed. Seeing his cousin's expression, he didn't dare to talk any more. He looked like he was listening to his cousin's words obediently.
“I don’t know if goods like ours have taken the waterway to the north before, but I know this is the first time our people and goods have boarded a freighter and taken the waterway.
The person who is guarantoring the goods is a stranger and is alone. The goods being transported by ship are of high value and large in quantity. Who wouldn’t have evil thoughts after seeing this?
After accumulating many bloody lessons, we came up with the ancient saying of "don't reveal your wealth". It would be better for you to bring it to someone's door in the open, which would save the thief.
You only see the convenience of the waterway, but do you know the dangers on the waterway?
Have you ever thought about this problem?"
As he spoke, Xiong Shaotang broke out in a cold sweat, stomped his feet and beat his chest in remorse, shouting "regret".
When the second master saw him like this, he didn't stop him and let him vent.
After a lot of trouble, Xiong Shaotang drank all the tea in his cup, stood up, and said, "Cousin, I'm going to Jiaozhou right now and waiting for Dongzi. Don't let anything happen to people or goods."
The second master picked up the teapot, poured him another cup of tea, and asked, "How long has it been since Dongzi boarded the ship with the cargo?"
"You called me at the pier yesterday, boarded the boat in the afternoon, and set off this morning. It's on the way now."
"Since you are on the road, it is useless for you to reach Jiaozhou now. After people and goods leave the shore, they are no longer under our control. The current situation is a matter of destiny."
After the second master said these helpless words, he tapped the table with his hand and thought about the situation in front of him.
"It's my fault for being careless. I didn't go there myself before. Who knows what kind of ghost is hidden in here. It would be troublesome if it caused trouble."
"Based on the current situation, there is a 80% chance that something will happen. There is no reason not to eat the fat that comes to your lips. Now let's think about how to deal with the next thing."
"Ah! So even if this batch of goods is finished, what should we do now?"
When Xiong Shaotang thought about this batch of endangered goods, he felt extremely distressed.
"Cousin, you are so anxious, but the quantity of this batch of goods exceeds the previous order?"
When Xiong Shaotang saw that his cousin asked this question, he couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded.
"How much is the overbooking?"
Xiong Shaotang held out two fingers and did not dare to speak.
"Is it 20% overbooked? You decided this matter yourself, why didn't you discuss it with me?"
Xiong Shaotang murmured: "Cousin, I'm telling the truth, don't be angry! I over-ordered twice the original order. If there is a problem with the goods this time, the loss will be huge."
When the second master heard this, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Cousin, you are really greedy and the snake swallows the elephant! When can you change this greedy problem? But this is not what makes me angry the most. You should reflect on yourself.
, if you think about it, come and tell me. I have something else to do now, so I won’t stay any longer."
With that said, the second master got up and went straight out of the room and walked to the front hall.
Xiong Shaotang knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't dare to stop him. He watched helplessly as his cousin left him and walked out.
He knew he was in big trouble.
The store clerk saw him coming and bowed hurriedly to salute, but seeing that his face was not very good, he did not dare to say much, so he lowered his head and respectfully sent him out the door.
In the office of Yongshi Ancestral Hall, Xie Liuyun was holding the business card given to him by Liu Changyun and making a phone call.
On the way to the office, Xie Liuyun already knew that Yong Ming had sent people from the "Yong Ran Pavilion" in Hangzhou to Tonglu, and they would arrive in the afternoon to start the investigation work.
At the same time, his "Liuquan Guard" badge was handed over to Yong Shiqing, who was responsible for patrolling the "Yongran Pavilion" in various places. He drove a special trip to Tonglu to coordinate and direct the operation to rescue his father.
Xie Liuyun was very touched by these arrangements. He did not expect that Yong Ming would act so quickly and deploy his actions so carefully, which made him feel at ease.
After no one answered the first call, he hung up the phone and said to Yong Ming: "Ming Gong, I guess Uncle Liu has something to do. How about I come over and make a call after class."
Yong Ming looked at his pocket watch and said, "Let's call a few more times. It's best to contact Director Liu as soon as possible. The rest of the matter will require his cooperation, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Xie Liuyun nodded, picked up the phone, and continued dialing.
On the fourth call, someone finally picked up the receiver, but no one spoke.
When Xie Liuyun was about to speak, Yong Ming immediately stopped him and signaled him not to speak.
While Xie Liuyun was on the phone, Yong Ming was also holding the receiver of another phone connected to his office phone and listening to what was going on inside.
He was sensitively aware that there was something wrong on the other side of the phone.
After a stalemate for a while, a female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Who is it? Why aren't you talking?"
Yong Ming gave Xie Liuyun a "silence" gesture, and then said to the phone: "Hello! This is the telephone exchange. I have a long-distance call for Liu Changyun. Please answer the phone."
"He's not here, tell me if you have anything."
"Who are you from Liu Changyun? Isn't it appropriate for you to answer his call?"
"I am his internal staff. The director is not here. If you have anything, I can convey it to you."
"Please wait a moment. I'll explain the situation to the person making the long distance call and see what to do."
Yong Ming picked up the pen on the table and tapped the phone receiver, waited for about ten seconds, and then continued: "Hello, the person who is looking for Liu Changyun will call again at five o'clock in the afternoon. Please
You must remember to tell this, thank you."
Then, without waiting for the other party to reply, Yong Ming put the phone receiver back on the phone.
He quickly walked to Xie Liuyun, took the phone receiver in his hand to his ear, and listened carefully to what was happening on the other end of the phone.
I just heard the woman's voice coming from the other end of the phone, "Who is looking for him? Is someone checking us? Should I notify the warehouse to adjust the warehouse?"
A deep voice said: "Hang up the phone and be careful not to be overheard."
The woman said reluctantly: "The other party has hung up the phone, why are you nervous?"
A little boy's voice came, "Hang up the phone if I tell you, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
There was a "bang" sound and the phone was hung up.
