Run into the world

Chapter 37 The appearance is very shabby

"Oh, Jinghai County is a good place. Mr. Zhao's ability to build Jinghai County so well is amazing!" Duan Muxiang's words are as sincere as he wants.

Master Wang gave him a cup of tea, and Zhao Dahan chuckled and asked, "Thank you very much. I heard that you have just come to Jinghai County not long ago?"

Duan Muxiang nodded, "Yeah, originally I didn't have much willingness to invest, but seeing the good situation in Jinghai County, I felt itchy in my heart."

"Oh haha, it's good to invest and jointly promote economic development. This is good for the country and everyone!"

The folds on Zhao Dahan's face were squeezed together, and he looked very happy, but in his heart he was quite disdainful of so-called investment.What kind of investment can't he get based on his status?What he cares more about is political performance!
Although his family is one of the Thirteen Pillars, in the eyes of outsiders, they, the children of high-ranking cadres, can reach very good positions just by following the steps.From a certain perspective, this is not wrong, but who doesn’t have ambition?Who doesn’t want to take it a step further?

But which one of the Thirteen Pillars is not a big business? Why do so many people fight for it?By background?Rely on strength?No, everyone is similar to these, so...it depends on political performance!
However, for ordinary officials, the so-called political achievements may be enough to attract investment, increase finance, and revitalize the economy. However, since they have different identities, it is not difficult to attract investment, so these political achievements cannot be used.

The reason why Zhao Dahan received Duan Muxiang was because of this, but the guy didn't say what kind of investment it was, and what kind of medicine was he selling?

"Oh, by the way, I was so happy to see Mr. Zhao that I forgot to introduce myself. I, Duan Muxiang, just married into the Shen family the day before yesterday. I have always heard my wife talk about Mr. Zhao. When I meet you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Zhao Dahan and Master Wang were obviously sluggish for a moment, but they returned to normal in just an instant.

Zhao Dahan looked at him with pretense of doubt, "It's from Shen's Logistics Company..."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao has a good memory!"

Zhao Dahan had a doubt in his heart, how did he know Bailang was mine?He asked with a smile: "Aren't your Shen family engaged in long-distance logistics business? Do you want to change the industry?" Could it be that you are here to convince others?

Duan Muxiang had a bitter look on her face, "Mr. Zhao, you don't know something. In fact, long-distance logistics is very difficult to do. It requires huge investments whether by water or by land. Our Shen family travels by water, not to mention there are many water bandits. The fish in the river alone are a drain on merchant ships. It's not bad to earn [-] cents per trip. If you catch up with the fishing season, the river will be blocked from time to time, delaying the delivery date. There are a lot of things here and there. The compensation is quite large, and several trips have been made in vain!”

"Oh, there are indeed difficulties! Huh? Are there many water bandits?" Zhao Dahan ignored the strange atmosphere during the fishing season and just looked at Master Wang and asked.

Master Wang opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "The public security environment in the surrounding prefectures is pretty good. I haven't heard of any water bandits?"

Duan Muxiang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but she crossed her legs and folded her hands on her knees, looking like she was smiling but not smiling.

Seeing Duan Muxiang like this, Zhao Dahan and Master Wang's hearts suddenly skipped a beat. It was obvious that what they just said was not only a strange thing, but also a test, and they didn't even know where the specific key point of this test was.

Duan Muxiang was a little disdainful, thinking that Zhao Dahan had done some detailed investigation before targeting the Shen family, but this was the result?Haha, the "security environment is good", a greedy idiot and a bad guy, he didn't even understand this industry, so he just started doing it, it was so ugly, and he was not afraid of pushing himself to death!

After the disaster, the fish became more ferocious. Although they would not actively attack humans, the lives of fishermen became more and more difficult.In this case, many fishermen will take risks and rob merchant ships.

In this era where everyone practices martial arts, there is no surveillance, and there is no instant communication, as long as you do it neatly or simply cover your face, there is no danger even if there are many people alive.If you pick up a knife, you are a water bandit, and if you pick up a fishing net, you are a fisherman. This is the main reason why water bandits have never been caught.

Why are there so many long-distance logistics companies and only the Shen family is left?Just because of the existence of this group of divine archers like Uncle Ping!
The Shen family also knew the importance of this secret, so outsiders never knew how the Shen family succeeded in long-distance transportation time and time again.

Idiot Zhao Dahan actually thought that public security was very good, but that's right. It's not surprising that a big family is not down-to-earth, bah!

Of course, magic archers are not uncommon, and there are specially trained ones in the yamen, but can Zhao Dahan order the magic archers in the yamen to serve as bodyguards for private companies?Maybe it’s okay to do it once or twice, but can it be done year after year?
As for retraining, it's even more nonsense. How long did it take for the Shen family to train so many dozens of people?Uncle Ping's bow and arrow prowess is no joke. Even if you compare it with the elites of the army, it will definitely be slightly better.Can Zhao Dahan recruit elites from the army who are good at bows and arrows to serve as instructors?Even if it could, how long would it take to cultivate it?When the archers are trained, will you, Zhao Dahan, still be in Jinghai County?The only feasible way is to recruit Uncle Ping. Unfortunately, if Uncle Ping is so easy to recruit, the Shen family will not have a monopoly on water transportation.

Zhao Dahan was angry in his heart but remained kind on his face, "Since long-distance logistics is so difficult, why not change your profession?"

Duanmuxiang pretended to be difficult, "I also tried to persuade the wife in the family, but she said it was a business inherited from her ancestors and was reluctant to part with it. So we discussed that we couldn't put all our eggs in one basket. While retaining the long-distance logistics business, Open up new business. Don’t you just come to the adults?"

Zhao Dahan nodded, and he had a guess in his mind. He was really trying to persuade him, but it was not to give up the long-distance logistics industry, but to give him some other benefits.I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, what benefit is more profitable than monopoly?

Although he was disdainful, Zhao Dahan still asked procedurally: "What kind of industry do you plan to do?"

Duan Muxiang took out a map from his pocket, which was the map of Jinghai County. "Look here, sir, our Shen family plans to build a clothing factory near this mountainous area."

"Oh, a clothing factory!" Zhao Dahan's tone already had a hint of disdain.

After the disaster, due to the collapse of many new industries, most of the methods of making money returned to the traditional four major categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Food is fundamental, and the country has no intention of letting go at all. In addition, the country has made great efforts in research. Even if crops have changed a lot, there are no signs of a food crisis. Similarly, there are no methods for people to make money. Not much.

Although many synthetic materials are not easy to make in terms of clothes, the basics of silk weaving have not changed much. In addition, people's aesthetics have long been formed, and this is not the past when it was easy to be fooled by some so-called brands.Let's put it this way, among the four basic items, the clothing industry has the least potential.

So when Zhao Dahan heard that he was going to open a clothing factory, he completely lost interest. He reached out to pick up the tea cup and wanted to chase people away, but Duan Muxiang laughed again and said: "But my family is also a stubborn person. If I say that I want to do something in the clothing industry, I will do it." Well, corporate culture is also very important. While building the factory, she plans to build an employee residential area nearby and a landscape park facing the entire Jinghai County!"
