What is most important to a caravan?

The answer is undoubtedly to earn gold coins!

The purpose of establishing a caravan by a caravan organizer is not to facilitate others, but to make a profit and earn gold coins.

And why do some caravans succeed in earning gold coins, while others deteriorate and eventually disband?

This is the most basic and important thing about the caravan - credibility!

If a caravan has a good reputation, it will naturally attract a steady stream of customers.

Even when the reputation is accumulated to a certain level, even if the items sold are more expensive than other caravans, it will not arouse the resentment of customers.

On the other hand, if a caravan has no credibility, then their goods will naturally become unsalable.

The only thing waiting for them in the end was to disband the caravan.

As for how credibility is accumulated?

For ordinary caravans, it is slowly accumulated through honest transactions with customers bit by bit.

Ensuring the quality of goods is the basis for accumulating credibility.

This kind of caravan usually transports its own goods.

In other words, the caravan leader is both the person in charge and the owner of the goods.

In addition to this type, there is also a caravan that helps others transport designated goods to a designated location.

This is a bit like escorting.

In comparison, the risk of the former is higher.

After all, once the goods cannot be sold smoothly, the caravan's liquidity will be restricted, which will affect subsequent trade operations.

The second type is to help others transport goods without having to pay a copper coin yourself, which naturally ensures that the caravan has sufficient funds.

However, the second type is different from the first. It does not rely on the quality of the product to accumulate credibility.

After all, the goods are specified by the consignor, and the consignor knows what the quality is.

For the second type of caravan, if you want to win the trust of cargo owners, you must ensure that the goods are successfully delivered on time.

Only by ensuring "success" and "on time" can we gain the trust of cargo owners.

Qi Kaidong's caravan has actually been operating according to the first mode.

Make a profit by purchasing goods elsewhere, transporting them to the outer reaches of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, and earning the price difference.

However, this method is too risky, and one mistake can cause the caravan to fall into a quagmire.

Just some time ago, he heard that the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range had been uneasy recently, with a large number of wild royal pets rioting.

He thought that a large number of pets and pet masters might be injured, so he bought a lot of medicine to treat injuries.

I thought I would make a lot of money this time, and the healing medicines would sell well in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

But after he transported the things to the small town at the foot of the mountain, he realized that the strong men from the Pet Masters Association had already suppressed the riot.

During this period, only a few pet masters suffered minor injuries, and these minor injuries had healed on the way to deliver the medicine.

Without the wounded, healing medicines cannot be sold quickly, which creates a backlog of goods.

After all, Qi Kaidong is not in business, so he cannot stay in the small town at the foot of the mountain selling medicine.

The guys in the caravan also need to eat.

In order to stop the loss in time, slow down as soon as possible.

He made up his mind and sold the medicine at a price lower than the market price, temporarily alleviating the urgent need for funds shortage in the caravan.

Finally, after paying out the rewards to the guys, the remaining gold coins were no longer enough to support the next business trip.

Only then did Qi Kaidong transform and start helping others transport goods.

I never thought that the first time I helped others transport goods, it would be overtime and delayed.

This kind of blow is bigger than the last time selling drugs at low prices.

If you lose gold coins, you can still make more.

If your reputation is gone, it will be even harder to build it up again.

So far, it seems that no caravan can make a comeback after losing its credibility.

Therefore, after hearing Liang Tianfan say those words lightly, Qi Kaidong's face suddenly turned pale.

His mind went blank, his eyes were blank, and he stood stiffly in place for a long time.

It wasn't until Sun Zhe felt something was wrong and pulled him quietly a few times that he came back to his senses.

At this time, two words kept echoing in Qi Kaidong's mind - it's over!

What a small caravan like him relies on most is credibility, but now this trip has destroyed all the credibility that was accumulated with great difficulty in the past.

Moreover, his caravan was stained.

With this kind of stain, it is absolutely impossible to take over the cargo delivery job from another cargo owner.

Even if the caravan returns to the first mode of operation, it will probably lose a large number of customers.

Qi Kaidong's lips were trembling, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes.

At this moment, the old, mature and prudent Qi Kaidong disappeared and became dejected.

He suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

At this time, Wu Deli saw that Qi Kaedong's mood was not right, guessed what Qi Kaedong was afraid of, and said sadly:

"Lao Qi, what's wrong with you? Why did you time out?

I remember, didn't you guys arrive the night before?

Why, I didn’t send anything to Mr. Liang all day yesterday.

You didn't mean to wait for Mr. Liang to pick it up yourself, right? "

Qi Kaidong looked panicked, waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"No, that's not the case. I originally planned to deliver the goods yesterday, but...but was delayed by some things."

Wu Deli glanced at Zhang Shaoyang, who had already walked over, and said in a sinister tone:

“You are a caravan worker, what is more important than delivering goods?

Isn't this your excuse? "

Qi Kaidong became increasingly anxious and hurriedly explained to Liang Tianfan:

"Young Master Liang, I really had something to do yesterday and couldn't send you anything. You must believe me..."

Liang Tianfan stared at Qi Kaidong for a few seconds, then suddenly showed a gentle smile and said:

"Lao Qi, if I didn't believe you, why would I choose you to deliver this batch of goods?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Deli was stunned for a moment.

The sarcastic expression was still on his face, and he looked at Liang Tianfan in great surprise.

As Nanjiu's nephew, Liang Tianfan is also the number one figure in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

People who are not familiar with him will be confused by his appearance, thinking that he is a young pet master who is gentle, friendly and will not bully others.

But Wu Deli is different.

He had been in contact with Liang Tianfan before and knew what kind of person Liang Tianfan was.

The appearance is completely opposite to the inside, with a perverse personality, sullen, petty, possessive, etc.

But now, Liang Tianfan like this actually said such words that were completely inconsistent with his character, which made Wu Deli doubt whether Liang Tianfan had taken the wrong medicine.

Unlike Wu Deli, Qi Kaidong, who was already a little desperate, suddenly regained hope.

This shipment is definitely overdue.

But if we can get forgiveness from the cargo owner, the situation may not be so bad.

As long as Liang Tianfan does not publicize this matter, it will not have an impact on the credibility of the caravan.

But at this moment, neither of them noticed that a hint of sarcasm suddenly flashed in Liang Tianfan's eyes.

continued:

"But even if I believe you were delayed for something, what's the use? Aren't you still overdue for this shipment?"
