Therefore, Shangguan Jin always pays attention to maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Bai family.
That day, Shi Yi, Bai Zhuo, other managers, and guards were having dinner in a restaurant.
The ship was almost loaded and they were about to leave. The food on the ship was rather monotonous, so they went to a restaurant to have a bite to eat before leaving.
They ordered a sumptuous banquet, and while eating and chatting, Bai Zhuo said:
"Miss, are we giving up this pier?"
Outside, he always called her Miss Shi Yi, after all, Shi Yi was the niece of the head of the Bai family.
Shi Yi said with some regret but firmness:
"Well! Since we have already cooperated with the Cao Gang, there is no need to cause unnecessary disputes, unless the Shangguan family does not want to cooperate with us. Then we really have to have our own dock! Let's leave it at this for now."
Bai Zhuo persisted in his advice: "Our cargo ships will carry more and more cargo, so it would be more convenient for us to have our own dock. The dock management of the Cao Gang is too chaotic!"
A small steward beside him also complained:
"That's right. The dock here is too run-down, the people are too chaotic, the environment is too noisy, and there is garbage everywhere. It's dirty, messy, and terrible! It's not suitable for doing business here."
Another steward who was sitting in the distance also said: "If this were our Bai family's dock, it would definitely not be like this."
"That's right. I can roughly imagine what the Bai family can build here!"
The others started to make a fuss, and everyone talked about what kind of dock they had in their minds. Shi Yi shook his head, smiled, and let them do what they wanted.
The young steward took the lead: "Just say it, if it is our Bai family's dock, there must be large warehouses built nearby, with rows of clean and tidy warehouses.
Baijia Wharf definitely doesn't need so many people carrying bags. It's too hard and tiring, and the efficiency is so slow.
The workshop will build a transfer platform for us, just like the conveyor belt for transporting ore, to transport the goods from the platform to the side of the ship, and then the workers can put them in order. "
A guard also said with interest: "Yes, yes! The streets must be clean, with carriages on one side and people walking alone on the other. People and goods are separated, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!
It’s too messy here, and we have to watch over the goods ourselves. If we’re not careful, they could be taken away by others.”
Another guard also joined in the discussion:
"We also need to improve the security of the dock. When we first arrived, we were harassed by hooligans every day. The Bai family's dock must not have these things happening. Businesses need a good environment to do business."
Shi Yi sighed and said, "The situation here is special. The Shangguan family manages the dock in the form of a gang. There is nothing we can do about it!
After all, their family comes from a gang. Without the Cao Gang, where would the Shangguan family come from?
Many of these messy people in your eyes have more or less connections with their family. Now that the wharf belongs to the Shangguan family, they cannot be prevented from making a living.
These are all problems left over from the past, and it is unrealistic to think they can be solved in one go.”
Bai Zhuo thought about it and nodded in approval:
"What the young lady said is true. This is the tradition here. If we want to reform it, we have to affect the interests of many people. Many of these people have connections with the Cao Gang, so we can't take it lightly or seriously!
It's indeed a tricky thing to deal with. We have so much business, there's no need to get into trouble here.
Cooperating with the Shangguan family to get what we need is currently the most worry-free and convenient way."
Shi Yi looked at him and said, "Uncle Bai, the Bai family will no longer interfere in the business of the dock. We should just develop what we are good at step by step. There are so many profitable businesses in the world. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources in areas that we are not familiar with.
The Shangguan family seems to be a very good partner. As long as we can cooperate, we should still cooperate. As for the things on the water, it is more appropriate for the Shangguan family to handle them. As for the chaos on the dock, I think it will be improved soon. "
The steward asked, "Really?"
Shi Yi analyzed seriously: "I have seen some of the Shangguan family's businesses, and they are run in a very methodical manner. I heard that it was the work of Madam Shangguan.
Mrs. Shangguan has been ill during this period. Once her condition stabilizes, I think the construction of the dock will also be on the Shangguan family’s agenda.
After all, the docks also represent the face of the Cao Gang. I heard that these docks were more chaotic before, and the Cao Gang has been gradually improving them. They need some time, and things will get better and better in the future. "
Bai Zhuo was in a good mood: "That would be great. I also want to live in a clean and spacious inn, and don't want to set up camp at the pier!"
"Haha...haha..." Everyone burst into laughter. Manager Bai expressed everyone's thoughts.
Next door, Mrs. Shangguan was holding a cup of tea and looking at her son who was listening attentively, and she laughed.
She did not stop it. The conversations from next door were clearly heard in their room. She did not expect that she would overhear such interesting words while having a meal with her son.
The Bai family had indeed considered acquiring the wharf!
If they insisted on spending a large sum of money to buy a wharf, the Shangguan family might not be able to afford it. Fortunately, they gave up this idea themselves.
Otherwise, if they confront the Bai family, the Shangguan family will be attacked from all sides, which will be difficult.
The Bai family's analysis of the business and their dock can accurately point to the crux of the problem, which shows that they are a group of very powerful businessmen.
Madam Shangguan said to her son, "Jin'er, after listening to the Bai family's plans and insights on the dock, do you have an idea of the future of the dock?"
Shangguan Jin nodded: "Mother, I heard from them that the Bai family workshop seems to have some good things. Why don't I find some opportunities to cooperate with the Bai family next time and use their things to rebuild our new dock."
Madam Shangguan: "Find a chance to talk to Miss Shi Yi about this, maybe she will have a better suggestion for your reference.
Girls like her have their own world in their minds. It doesn't matter if we don't have her insights. We just need to find opportunities to participate in her plans.
When she soars into the sky, we can also take advantage of her to reach great heights."
Shangguan Jin agreed with his mother very much and he admired Shi Yi's abilities.
My mother is right. People like this are suitable to be brought into our own camp. Fortunately, we are not enemies.
In the future, we need to take better care of the Bai family at the dock and establish a stronger cooperative relationship with them.
Therefore, Shangguan Jin paid close attention to many things concerning Shi Yi, and would always spare no effort to help whenever he could.
Shi Yi also reciprocated the favor. Every time the Bai family's goods arrived at the dock, he would bring a lot of rare things to the Shangguan family on the ship. Some of them were luxury goods from the Bai family's workshop, the kind that outsiders could not buy even if they wanted to.
Another time, a whole tiger was sent to him, without any skin!
The shock was really great!
