Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959
Chapter 517 I have a friend
When Zeng Wangcai was working as a security guard, he had a manager above him. What a society that was.
The manager is in charge of the security department and has some power in his hands. This power allows him to always come into contact with salesmen from other companies that have needs. At this time, the manager will magnify his power infinitely.
In Zeng Wangcai's eyes, Zhou Hua looked similar to the security manager in his previous life.
In fact, Zhou Hua has a prominent background. Zeng Wangcai also heard that the company he works for is very powerful. It was founded by an older generation of shipping tycoons, but he doesn't know what the relationship between Zhou Hua and that company is.
Zhou Hua, a manager of Oriental Company, has ships, but not many.
He is indeed different from ordinary managers because he is a distant relative of the company's boss. Although the relationship is distant, he is still relatively respected, so he has a boat and can make some business decisions.
If Zeng Wangcai knew this information, he would probably link Zhou Hua to the Bao An faction.
Zhou Hua talked attentively about the international situation and the situation at sea, just like a peacock spreading its tail in front of the opposite sex, showing his knowledge and charm.
Only after receiving You Min's praise did he stop boasting, took a sip of tea and said, "Boss Zeng, I'm saying so much because you were introduced by Mr. Li. I hope you can understand that shipping is different from your grocery business. It has great risks, and because the route you want is very unusual, so... you should be mentally prepared for the price."
"Really? I really don't understand this!" Zeng Wangcai said calmly, "But now that I'm here, I have to listen to Manager Zhou's quotation..."
"Wrong!" Zhou Hua interrupted Zeng Wangcai arrogantly, "You have got the relationship wrong. For this kind of business, it's not me who comes to you, but you who comes to me. To be honest, our company has no shortage of business, and Mr. Li can testify to that."
Zeng Wangcai could probably imagine it without any evidence.
The shipping tycoon, a big family, almost monopolizes the market. With many ships and extensive personal connections, he naturally has no shortage of business.
"It's indeed as Manager Zhou said, but... you still have to make an offer!" Zeng Wangcai said patiently.
"Well, of course you have to make an offer. Mr. Zeng, are you looking for long-term cooperation or short-term delivery?" Zhou Hua asked.
Hearing this question, Zeng Wangcai suddenly realized that Zhou Hua was not a fool, but rather very smart. He seemed to be influenced by You Min, but in fact he took advantage of this subtle change and quietly took the initiative in the negotiations.
It gives people the illusion that my rumored girlfriend is actually nice to you, I'm jealous, so I want to ask for as much as I can.
In fact, he used this and unknowingly took the psychological initiative.
"Long-term cooperation, sign a contract!"
"For long-term cooperation, the price will be discounted, but not much, for the reason I just mentioned!" Zhou Hua took another sip of tea and said firmly, "Mr. Li knows more about shipping, so I won't waste words. An 8,200-ton cargo ship, a fixed price..."
(That’s right, I couldn’t find the shipping price, and I couldn’t find the shipping price for that year, so I used six points of high-end technical methods to deal with it. As smart as I am, I saved my life with my dog head.)
When he heard the price of a transport, Zeng Wangcai unconsciously felt like he was a rich man.
Although Zeng Wangcai didn't understand the shipping prices, he at least knew that under normal circumstances, the price was calculated based on the unit price per nautical mile.
He did not specify whether the ship was chartered, but Zhou Hua had already tacitly agreed that Zeng Wangcai had chartered the ship and the pricing would be based on one voyage.
At the same time, Zeng Wangcai could see from Li Jiacheng's frown that the price was very unreasonable.
"Sorry, I can't accept this price..."
"Boss Zeng, you need to understand one thing..." Zhou Hua interrupted Zeng Wangcai again, "Except for our company, no one else on the island can take over your business, so price is not the most important issue."
"Haha, then I won't play anymore. This is fine, bye. You three can chat slowly!" I don't want to play anymore.
Li Jiacheng did not leave. In fact, he could not leave because Zeng Wangcai left and he had to continue.
"Mr. Li, this Brother Cai is different from what you said." Zhou Hua looked at Zeng Wangcai who was leaving and said meaningfully, "His shop is making a fortune every day. Does he think this shipping fee is too expensive? Or does he have other channels?"
This is a temptation!
Zhou Hua had looked into Zeng Wangcai's shop and knew that the daily cargo throughput was astonishing, but he couldn't find the source of Zeng Wangcai's goods.
Zhou Hua is an ambitious man. He is not satisfied with working under the protection of his family. He also wants to do business.
Therefore, he used his connections to investigate and found that Zeng Wangcai's goods were legal, but not rationally. He once suspected that Zeng Wangcai was involved in smuggling, but he had no evidence.
"He must have other channels!" Li Jiacheng would not offend Zhou Hua now. After all, his goods still needed Zhou Hua to move. "He knows a lot of people. Since he rejected you, he must have other plans."
Li Jiacheng naturally would not say anything bad about Zeng Wangcai.
After a brief greeting, Li Jiacheng found that he could not convince Zhou Hua to give in, so he stopped talking about the matter.
It is true that the company Zhou Hua works for is extremely powerful, but it is not yet able to achieve true monopoly. If there is no way out here, Li Jiacheng has other ways.
The dinner ended, not in a bad way, but without reaching any consensus.
Zhou Hua and You Min went down side by side and walked all the way to the parking lot.
While Zhou Hua was courting You Min, You Min pointed to a parking space on the far left side and said, "Ah Hua, look, Brother Cai and Mr. Li haven't left yet. Oh...what kind of car is this? Such beautiful lights!"
Zeng Wangcai wanted to go back, and he would not leave easily until the matter was settled, so he waited for Li Jiacheng in the parking lot, and the two talked in the car.
His Mercedes-Benz has a low profile on the outside but is very flashy on the inside. It can turn on a circle of ambient lights when parked. When Zeng Wangcai was waiting, he was bored and turned on the lights to listen to music, but he didn't turn them off this time, so You Min saw it.
"It's just a Mercedes!" Zhou Hua said with disdain and envy, "A modified Mercedes. Amin, if you like Mercedes, I will buy one."
Even though Zhou Hua had the upper hand in the negotiation just now, he actually didn't have much money and couldn't even be considered a second-generation rich man.
You Min took a liking to him because he saw his potential.
"No, your car is great!" You Min said softly, "Let's go to the movies."
She added one more person to her list.
......
Things were not going very smoothly, and Zeng Wangcai did not plan to look for Zhou Hua, but after talking with Li Jiacheng, Li Jiacheng said that it was okay not to look for Zhou Hua, and he would look for him later.
However, Zeng Wangcai got a surprise when he asked Li Jiacheng about Bao Anpai. Li Jiacheng knew Bao Anpai, and in his words, Bao Anpai's status in the family was much higher than Zhou Hua's in their family, and they had more say, so he could try to ask if he could get the boat.
So, Zeng Wangcai has been preparing these days.
He took Xiaobao to the beach and went out to sea. After it was safe, he changed boats and searched for uninhabited islands in the nearby waters. Finally, he found a fairly ideal base, the base of Wuling Magic Car.
After coming back, Zeng Wangcai went to a high-end dance hall to find Bao Anpai.
This dance hall, called Swinging, is located on the famous Queen's Road, adjacent to the racecourse. It does a booming business. Bao Anpai owns shares here and is one of the owners.
When Zeng Wangcai found Bao Anpai, Bao Anpai was already addicted to the nightlife and had drunk a little too much.
"Apai, Apai, I have a friend who doesn't want the car he ordered anymore..."
