Chapter 722 The Plan to Make Money (Fifteen)

"Okay, now let's discuss how to make money."

Bai Qing accepted the draft sent by Zhao Lin, but he was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, he couldn't help sitting up straight with his subordinates, listening attentively, and waiting for Qi Ke's more important words.

Qi Ke changed another piece of white paper, and the brush was also dipped in ink and placed on the brush hill.

"As the only money bag with development potential for Bai Jiajun, Hekou Bay needs to attract passing overseas merchant ships to come in for supplies and do business, relying on word of mouth to slowly accumulate, and finally make Hekou Bay the best land-sea transshipment terminal, allowing overseas High-quality goods are continuously entering the inland through the main stream of the Jiuzhi River." Qi Kexian made a general statement, which was to verify with Bai Qing and the others that what he said was correct, and that there was no misunderstanding between the two sides.

"Yes, that's the plan." The men nodded.

"Okay, as the so-called increase income and reduce expenditure, let's first sort out how much income we can get."

"Okay, all ears." Now it's time to officially talk about how to make money, and the atmosphere in the room has become serious.

"Okay, let's first see if the waterway for sea ships to enter the estuary is smooth, and whether there are any hidden reefs underwater, and whether we need special people on board to help the ships dock at the dock."

"Uh, is there still such a problem?"

"Yes, who knows if there are hidden reefs and undercurrents hidden underwater in the passage from the sea to the estuary, and the Jiangxinzhou out of the water, do you know how wide and deep the underwater riverbed is? No If you are familiar with hydrology, what should you do if your big ship runs aground? What if it hits a rock? Then we have to compensate others for their losses, repair the ship, settle the crew and take care of their meals, and then check whether the cargo on the ship is on the spot. Some merchants have taken over, and if some ships are to be delivered within the time limit, it will be more troublesome, and there will be trouble."

"Hmm..." The men folded their arms in unison and pondered, all thinking in their minds was so complicated and troublesome, so complicated and troublesome, it was too embarrassing for a group of northern landlubbers who had never seen the sea to think about how to make money from the sea people.

"If we have such talents, then we can do this business, charge big ships and give them pilots, instead of letting strange ships rampage in our waters, creating a scene of foreign enemies invading." Qi Ke drew A delicious pie, "If you receive the money, you have to do the errands well, and bring the merchant ship to the dock safely. According to the cargo capacity of the sea ship, the fee for receiving a channel can be calculated in gold."

"Gold?!" Qi Ke's big cake successfully awakened the generals who didn't know where their fugues were going, and their eyes widened brightly.

"That's right, don't you want to use gold? You can also use silver. The method of collecting money can be discussed. If you are lucky and encounter a ship that has no spare capacity to sail again, you must stop as soon as possible for repairs and supplies. If there is no better choice, it will be easier to negotiate. If it doesn’t matter whether you want to supply ships in the estuary, then don’t force it. If the negotiation fails this time, there will be a next time. The sea is so big, there will always be business, and the estuary Wan is here, if you can pass by this time, you can pass by next time, and it would be good to pass by a few more times to get acquainted."

Bai Qing and the others are no longer listening to what Qi Ke is saying, they are all thinking about bringing a boat in to collect a sum of gold, for the generals of the Bai family army who have been poor for many years, there is a feeling of ignorance in their hearts A petty man who spends money.

Relying on the sea to eat the sea, is this how you earn? !
