Chapter 1170 Behind the scenes
Compared with the time when he was the third in the Sanlin Gang, Linde is much more restrained when he is outside, facing Gu Hui's flattery, he just smiled indifferently and said: "It's all thanks to the Haihan chiefs who rewarded the bowl." Eat, Master Gu laughed at me!"
Gu Hui boasted a few more casually, and then asked cautiously: "I wonder what good things the fleet has brought over this time? Do you need manual labor to unload the cargo?"
Lin De responded: "It's almost the same as before, and they are all Haihan goods that are sold well in the market. The goods on these three ships have to be unloaded to Tongsheng No. C warehouse. You can make arrangements to unload the goods as soon as possible. Tomorrow I have to rush back with a batch of silk and satin, remember to ask your people to come over early to do things. By the way, this time there is a new batch of Haihan Special Wine that arrived in Zhejiang. This stuff is a good thing, and it tastes more exciting than rice wine Now, I’ll get you two bottles later and try it out later. But be careful when you ask your people to work, handle it with care and don’t break the bottles and jars.”
Gu Hui quickly thanked Lin De, then walked to the side of the boat, calling for his men to start work quickly.Once these three cargoes were unloaded and loaded, at least he could collect 30 taels of silver into his pocket, but the effort required was nothing more than lip service, and the money came easily and happily.
There are dozens of large and small warehouses built on Tongsheng Wharf, but they belong to different owners.Warehouse C is also in the site managed by Gu Hui, and like his group of laborers, they are all under the name of Mr. Wang, the general judge of Hangzhou.With such a big-name backer as the backing, Gu Hui has much more confidence in handling various affairs at Tongsheng Wharf. He is also more comfortable in dealing with customers like Haihan who are still controversial from the outside world than other foremen.
Of course, as for the shady relationship between Mr. Wang and Hai Han, that is not something that a small person like him should care about. He only needs to manage the affairs on the pier well.However, he also knows that compared with the subsequent sales of these goods, the profits obtained on the docks are actually insignificant. These Haihan goods sell very well in Hangzhou, and the prices of many things have always remained high.Although I also heard that the higher-ups have always wanted to ban Haihan goods, but the import business involves the jobs of thousands of people, as well as the interests of some big figures behind the scenes.
According to past experience, this batch of goods can stay in warehouse C for at most two or three days before being picked up by merchants from all over Zhejiang.Gu Hui conservatively estimated that these cargoes could bring Haihan a profit of at least 10 taels of silver, but this was only one of Haihan's many sales locations along the coast of Zhejiang.How much goods Haihan can dump into the territory of Zhejiang every month is hard to imagine with Gu Hui's current knowledge.
After Lin De explained the matter to Gu Hui, he got off the boat and went to the city to handle errands.Gu Hui went back to the pier, sat under the bamboo shed and grilled the brazier as the overseer, watching over his handymen as they unloaded the cargo from the ship to the shore one by one.Bored, he took out the two bottles of Sanya special wine that the ship's steward had brought to him just now, and sent someone to a small restaurant on the pier to cut a plate of pork head meat, put a plate of salted peanuts, and started to enjoy it comfortably .
"Little Gu, you really enjoy yourself!"
When Gu Hui was having a good drink, he suddenly heard someone calling him, so he hurriedly turned his head to look.When he saw the person coming, he jumped up from the chair immediately, and before he could put down the chopsticks in his hand, he hurriedly called out: "Why did Guanshi Chen come in person? It's such a cold weather, why did I have to send someone over to say hello?" That is, why do you need to go there by yourself, old man!"
The visitor looked to be in his fifties, so he could bear the title of an old man, but Gu Hui's humility was not due to the age of the other party, but because of his status.This old man surnamed Chen Mingqi is the confidant in charge of Wang Tongpan's family. Most of the properties run by the Wang family in Hangzhou Mansion are managed by him.Speaking of which, Gu Hui is just one of the many foremen under him, and he doesn't even have many chances to speak in front of Chen Qi. If he knew that the other party came to inspect the pier, Gu Hui would probably gather his men and wait here respectfully. Now, how can I have the leisure of drinking and eating meat.
Chen Qi looked at the wine and dishes on the small table, smiled and said, "Sanya special wine! Xiao Gu, do you know what price this wine sells in the market?"
Gu Hui smiled and said: "The price of this wine in the market, the villain naturally knows, how can I usually afford such an expensive good thing. The Haihan fleet that just arrived in Hong Kong, the leader of the team, Lin Ye, has known the villain for a long time. It’s been a long time, so I rewarded two bottles of wine. The villain has nothing to do, so I want to taste a couple of sips first, so you can laugh!"
How the sugar cane wine produced by Haihan tastes is a matter of opinion, but the glass bottle used for its packaging is very beautiful, and this packaging alone has already improved its grade a lot.In the early stage, Haihan found a lot of Zhejiang celebrities through various channels, Xu Yizhongli asked them to praise this kind of alcohol produced in the south, although the method was a bit outdated, but the effect was quite good.With the joint efforts of many spokespersons, the brand of Sanya Special Brew quickly entered the local high-end market and became the darling of various banquet occasions.
In addition, its supply is extremely limited, and the number of bottles put on the Zhejiang market every month is only one or two thousand bottles. It is often in a state of price and no market, so it can be regarded as a very tight commodity in the local area. The one-jin package of Sanyate Brewing can be sold for 12 taels of silver.There are even shrewd businessmen who buy Sanya special wine at a local price increase, and transport it to the inland area, where the selling price can be nearly doubled, and the profits from it are even more lucrative.
With Gu Hui's income, it's not that he can't afford this kind of high-end wine, but it's really too expensive, and he must be reluctant to buy it out of his own pocket.Besides, in front of a discerning person like Chen Guanshi, it is better to speak modestly.
Chen Qi ignored his explanation, but his eyes were fixed on the pier not far away. Dozens of laborers were sweating profusely, unloading the cargo from the three Haihan sailboats to the shore.
Gu Hui spoke up and said, "If you have nothing to do, old man, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll send someone to fry up two more hot dishes. You can drink two glasses of wine and rest."
Chen Qi was not interested in this proposal, so he turned to him and asked, "These three ships arrived today? Which warehouse will the unloaded cargo be transported to?"
Gu Hui quickly responded: "These are the three ships. Master Lin ordered all the goods on this ship to be transported to Tongsheng No. C warehouse. By the way, Master Lin also said that he will leave after loading the purchased silks and satins tomorrow."
Chen Qi continued to ask: "Who is taking care of warehouse C now? Lame Zhang or Lao San Li?"
"Back to the management, it is Li Laosan who is in charge." Seeing Chen Qi asking about work one after another, Gu Hui didn't dare to deal with it with a playful smile. Haihan people, so besides Li Laosan, there are two people sent by Haihan who are also stationed in warehouse C."
"Are you on duty at the pier at night or go home?" Chen Qi asked another question that sounded a bit strange.
"If there is nothing important, the villain will usually get off work and go home at dinner time." Gu Hui replied honestly: "If you always have something to do, you might as well order it down, and the villain will definitely handle it for you obediently." of."
"It's nothing. I passed by here today, so I stopped by to take a look... Okay, you can watch the unloading carefully, don't make any mistakes!" Chen Qi patted Gu Hui on the shoulder, turned around and left without waiting for him to answer.
Gu Hui was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly followed and saw him off.He really didn't understand what the purpose of Chen Qi's visit to the pier was, and it was not worth the time for a "big man" like him to come to the pier to confirm these trivial matters just now.Moreover, Gu Hui has been working under Chen Qi for four or five years. This is the longest private conversation he has had with Chen Qi, but he feels that the content of the conversation is completely lacking in nutrition. He tried to flatter him, but he was ignored at all. mean.
Gu Hui sent off Manager Chen with a mind full of question marks, but soon his mind was pulled back by the affairs on the pier. A laborer probably came to start work without breakfast, and when unloading the goods, his hand was Slip, a box of Sanya Special Brew hit the ground directly.This scene happened to be seen clearly by Gu Hui who had just sat back on the chair, and Dang even ran over to scold him.There are six bottles of wine in this box. Even the cost price of the owner is estimated to be about 50 taels.
Gu Hui squatted on the ground and carefully opened the box. Although the inside was stuffed with straw as a buffer, a bottle still knocked on the box lid and broke the bottle neck.Gu Hui sighed, closed the lid of the box, and then slapped the troublemaker on the face and scolded: "Do you know how much this wine will cost? It will be your salary for three months! How will you pay for it! "
The laborer was beaten but he didn't dare to speak back, he just begged for forgiveness repeatedly, begging Gu Hui for forgiveness.Gu Hui cursed a few more words, and seeing that the other party didn't dare to reply back, he said with insatiable desire: "Forget it, you have been working here for a long time, so I will trust you once. Just in the morning, Master Lin rewarded you with two bottles of wine." , there is still an unopened bottle, first use it to make up for the broken bottle. As for the silver, it will be deducted from your wages every month, two taels a month, and deducted from you for half a year, are you convinced?"
That Li Gong dared to refuse to accept it, although he knew that the cost of the wine was not more than 12 taels of silver, but he really couldn't pay for the compensation at the moment, and the compensation was enough to make him bankrupt.And if Gu Hui was annoyed, he might lose his job, so he could only accept Gu Hui's solution.In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Hui had to praise Gu Hui for his "benevolence and righteousness". He paid out of his own pocket and paid for the damages first, and he was able to give a reasonable explanation to the owner of the goods. There was indeed nothing to be picky about.
"Fuck off, go move the goods first, I'll take care of this case of wine!" Gu Hui impatiently dismissed the laborer who caused the trouble, and moved the case to the place where he was drinking just now.
Gu Hui opened the box, slowly took out the broken bottle of Sanya special wine, held it up to his nose and smelled it, his face changed slightly.In fact, when he opened the box to check the damage just now, he already noticed something was wrong. The broken wine bottle did not emit the smell of wine, and the liquid inside was definitely not the wine he just drank.Half of the reason why he took the initiative to take on this matter was because he was afraid that others would see through it and cause even bigger troubles.
Gu Hui stretched out his fingers to dip a little of the spilled liquid, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and immediately spit it out.If this stuff is Sanya special brew, no one will drink it for free, and it is definitely not the taste of wine going bad.Gu Hui twirled his fingers, feeling that the liquid was slippery, but it looked like some kind of grease.
Why did the Haihan people put this strange thing in the bottle of Sanya special brew to pretend to be good wine? Gu Hui couldn't figure it out, but he was very clear about one thing. If the Haihan people did this on purpose, they would definitely not want anyone See through their tricks.I heard that there were several high-ranking officials in the city of Hangzhou who fought against Hai Han, and suddenly disappeared overnight a few months ago, and they are still alive and dead.As a small dock manager, he naturally didn't want to cause other troubles, so when he realized that something was wrong, his first reaction was to top up the wine that Linde gave him first, so as to prevent the Haihan people from counting the goods. abnormality was found.
Gu Hui put an unopened bottle of Sanya special wine back into the box, and asked a laborer to put it back, and then secretly took the broken bottle to the ditch leading to the Qiantang River and poured it out. The broken bottle It was also thrown directly into the waist-deep drain, which can be regarded as destroying the corpse.
Sure enough, the Haihan people who counted the goods later did not notice any damage in this batch of goods, and went through the storage and handover smoothly, and settled the wages with Gu Hui.After Gu Hui handed it over, he let go of his hanging heart, carried the remaining half bottle of wine and went home humming a ditty.
At this time, Lin De, the owner of this batch of goods, was meeting guests in a certain garden in Hangzhou City. The person sitting opposite him was none other than Chen Qi who showed up at Tongsheng Wharf this morning.
"Master Lin, everything is ready, and someone will do it outside the city tonight." Chen Qi paused and said, "It's just a fire starter prepared by you, is it really useful?"
Lin De put down his wine glass and said softly, "Don't worry, Manager Chen. This kind of kerosene is produced in the south. It burns easily and is extremely difficult to extinguish. It is more powerful as a kindling than spirits. We have spent so much time on the arrangement. Be safe."
Chen Qi said again: "Those three sailboats were also burned, which is a pity."
Linde said disdainfully: "The chiefs of Haihan are all people who do great things. What are three sailboats? After this matter is completed, thirty or three hundred sailboats can be easily earned back! Chen Guanshi, Your lord has received all the benefits, so you won't regret it at this juncture, will you?"
Chen Qi smiled and said: "My lord will do what he says, so naturally he won't go back on his word. But you must abide by the action standards you mentioned before!"
Lin De nodded and said, "It should be so, please tell your lord Chen Guanshi, and everything will be carried out as agreed."
