Chapter 2999 meet by fate

Bai Shan and the others are smart, and they are not stupid in managing things. Besides, if you have any goods, you can ask a few more questions to find out, what kind of cloth is to be shipped, where is it produced, where is it going, how many people are needed, and time can be required... …

After some words, even if Bai Shan's words were conclusive and seemed to be true, Yu Guanshi felt that they didn't really want to ship the goods.

And compared to the ships of their company, this group of people is obviously more interested in the ferry terminal. Manager Yu thinks that they are not looking for ships to transport goods, but they are looking for business from merchant ships to compete with their company.

So he was still enthusiastic at the beginning, but later he became a lot colder.

Bai Shan sighed in his heart, his words were insincere, and there was nothing he could do. They didn't have any real business experience, so they couldn't deceive anyone, and he couldn't really get a batch of fabrics to travel to Jiangnan.

The news was that I couldn't continue to inquire, and Bai Shan generously paid for the meal, and did not let Yu Guanshi pay, his original intention was to express his apology.

But in the eyes of Yu Guanshi, it made Bai Shan and the others have bad intentions.

Yu Guanshi wished he could slap himself, thinking that he was meeting a colleague who was about to enter the industry.

So he didn't want to sit down, got up and said: "Master Bai, there is still something busy in Yu's business, so I will leave today. If Mr. Bai intends to leave our business, just come to Yu's business to find me, no matter the luck. I'll give you anything cheaper."

Bai Shan replied with a smile, and didn't want to sit down in the restaurant anymore. They came to inquire about the enemy's situation while taking advantage of Xiu Mu's interval. Oh, no, they were inquiring about the details, so they didn't have much time and had to go back tomorrow.

He plans to send Yu Guanshi away and then go to the pier to chat with someone, or to find a hard worker. Although they can only know some details, they can see the whole thing at a glance. He has not yet found a master who can build a ferry. , but you can first ask how the ferry in Laizhou was built in the past, if you can find those craftsmen and their descendants...

Bai Shan's abacus rattled, so he also got up and planned to send Yu Guan.

Zhou Man and the others also comforted the hearts hurt by their faces, and got up as well.

Only after going down to the second floor, there were a few people on the second floor who wanted to go down. When they saw someone on the third floor, they turned sideways to give way. Bai Shan tilted his head and glanced at him.

Cheng Jiulang was a little reluctant to admit it, but when he met Bai Shan's eyes and saw the surprise in his eyes, Cheng Jiulang knew that he did not admit his mistake.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, Bai Shan was already one step ahead of him and said with a smile: "So it's Brother Cheng, what a coincidence, are you still in Laizhou, or have you come back from Jiangnan?"

Cheng Jiulang glanced at Yu Guanshi who was standing by the side, and he felt blessed and said with a smile: "I just came back from Jiangnan, but I didn't expect to meet Bai Gongzi here."

Yu Guanshi recognized Cheng Jiulang, and the Cheng family also had a merchant ship here, but it was not big, and there was only one ship. Sometimes they could not finish loading their cargo, so they would find ships of other merchants on the dock. Anyway, most of them would go south or It's safer to go north.

He looked at Bai Shan suspiciously. Could it be that he made a mistake in his calculations, that he was really here to do business, not to grab business?

He paused, but Bai Shan had already seen the passengers off, so he could only go downstairs. Before leaving, he reiterated, "Mr. Bai, our Yu family has a total of three ships, and we have more than ten years of shipping experience. If you think about it, you can come to me with the goods, and I will find the owner and give you something cheaper."

As for the original price and how much cheaper, we will talk about it later.

Bai Shan responded with a smile, and after seeing off Yu Guan, he turned upstairs and ordered another table of wine and food with Cheng Jiulang.

Zhou Man and Bai Erlang quietly touched their stomachs and felt that they couldn't eat any more, and they would endure any more. It was not good for the stomach, so they could only look at the food on the table and sigh.

Cheng Jiulang didn't expect to meet Bai Shan, so he saluted again as soon as he entered the private room, "Someone Cheng visits the magistrate of Bai..."

"Hurry up and waive the ceremony," Bai Shan said with a smile, "We have the friendship of walking together, why does Brother Cheng Jiu have to be so polite?"

Cheng Jiulang bowed again, "I didn't know the identity of Lord Bai that day, and I was negligent. Please forgive me."

"Where is this, we talked very happily that day, where did the negligence come from?" After the greeting was over, Bai Shan introduced to Bai Erlang and the princess: "This is the friend we met on the road when we took office, Cheng Cheng. Kuro."

He introduced to Cheng Jiulang again: "This is my junior brother and also a clan brother. He is the second wife at home. This is the second lady."

Cheng Jiulang immediately saluted, "Second Young Master Bai, Second Madam."

At this time, Cheng Jiulang was pure and innocent, and he didn't notice that something was wrong.

The two sides sat down. Cheng Jiulang knew Bai Shan's identity, and naturally knew that he could not have come for the sake of buying goods, but seeing that he was not accompanied by an official from Laizhou, he knew that he was coming here in a subtle manner, which was a bit subtle.

Even if Beihai County and Ye County were adjacent to each other, if a chief official like the county magistrate was not invited, they would not usually come to Lin County.

"Master Bai came to Ye County on business?"

Bai Shan smiled and didn't say whether he was here on business or privately, he just said, "I'll take a look at Laizhou Ferry."

He looked at the pier outside the window, "I've heard of Laizhou Ferry, but I haven't seen it before. This meeting is indeed well-deserved and very prosperous."

Cheng Jiulang said: "In terms of ferry ports, Yangzhou and Hangzhou are more prosperous, but although the Laizhou wharf is smaller, it can still accommodate a lot of ships."

"Is there a boat that can't get into the ferry and has to stop outside?"

"This is a common occurrence," Cheng Jiulang said, "Especially when His Majesty captured Liaodong last year, many ships will go to Liaodong, and there are more and more ships from Silla and Baekje, and the ferry can't hold so many for a while. Boats, everyone can only queue up."

Bai Shan's eyes flashed slightly, "How long will it take?"

Cheng Jiulang said with a smile: "It's not very long, at most one night plus half a day, if it's too late to enter the ferry and go ashore, the boat can still go to Qingzhou."

Bai Shan also knew that there was a ferry in Qingzhou, and asked, "Then why don't you go to Qingzhou?"

"The ferry in Qingzhou is smaller, it is difficult to park, and there is a large army stationed there. Business travelers don't like to go there."

Bai Shan understood, there is a large army, maybe there is more filial piety and so on, things are more mixed.

What Bai Shan asked was about the ferry, and what Cheng Jiulang knew was basically no secret. Most of the businesses here knew about it, so he answered very succinctly. He answered what Bai Shan asked, and if he didn't know, he bluntly said that he didn't know.

Bai Shan was overjoyed and asked, "Brother Cheng Jiu, do you know who drew the blueprint for Laizhou Ferry?"

Cheng Jiulang was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "I don't know, it should be the Ministry of Engineering. The adults don't know it, and Cheng Mou doesn't even know it."

See you tomorrow
