Chapter 1368 People and goods are missing

"How can you think so?" Wu Fan comforted: "You have always been a strong woman in my heart. If you are useless, can I safely leave this place to your management? What if you are useless? "How do you let other women live?"

"But I didn't do it well. It was you who helped me deal with the aftermath." Zhao Yanan said in a low tone.

Wu Fan could see that Zhao Yanan today obviously lacked the confidence he had in the past, and his whole body was filled with an aura of decadence and lack of self-confidence.

"Don't think nonsense, you have done a good enough job." Wu Fan said: "Besides, I am the majority owner of this furniture factory. I should deal with the troubles. Isn't it right? I have to stay out of it completely. Only then can I What’s the problem?”

It can be seen that this incident is not trivial and it has hit Zhao Yanan hard. Otherwise, she, who has always been confident, would not be in this situation now. Wu Fan does not want me, Zhao Yanan, to be decadent. Such a good helper, if Being decadent would be a big loss, and he himself would be even busier because of it.

"Tell me what's going on." Wu Fan asked as he led Zhao Yanan towards the office.

Under Wu Fan's comfort, Zhao Yanan's mood stabilized a lot, and he told Wu Fan the whole thing in a somewhat heavy tone.

Under the guidance of Wu Fan, several masters in the furniture factory have rapidly improved their skills in making mortise and tenon furniture. Naturally, the speed of making furniture is getting faster and faster. Not long ago, they completed the Changyang Trade of the first shipment.

Gu Ming was naturally very satisfied with this. This batch of goods was needed urgently overseas. Wu Fan's furniture factory was able to build it so quickly, which saved him a lot of time. At the moment, he did not wait for the rest. After finishing the furniture, he asked Zhao Yanan to deliver the goods to him first.

Zhao Yanan naturally had no objections and immediately arranged for someone to deliver the first batch of furniture. After Gu Ming received the goods, he briefly inspected them and prepared to send them overseas.

Because this batch of goods was very important, Gu Ming asked Zhao Yanan if he could send masters and ordinary apprentices from the furniture factory to follow the goods out to sea. If there was any problem with the furniture or the customer had any requirements, they would Everyone can help solve the problem. Of course, people from Changyang Trading will also go with them and be responsible for handing over the goods. It is Gu Ming's idea to have people from the furniture factory go with him just in case.

Regarding Gu Ming's request, Zhao Yanan thought about it and did not refuse.

First of all, Changyang Trading is now the largest customer of their furniture factory. Naturally, they cannot ignore the requirements of large customers. Zhao Yanan himself also attaches great importance to this batch of goods and also does not want any problems with the goods. This is a good thing for them. It will be crucial for them to continue trading with Changyang Trading later on.

Secondly, Zhao Yanan also wanted to take this opportunity to see the overseas furniture market. In Zhao Yanan's heart, whether it was for herself, her father, or Wu Fan, she wanted to sell this furniture The factory has developed and grown, and now that their furniture factory has the technology, what they lack is orders. It is good to have a big customer like Changyang Trading, but if you want to grow the furniture factory, relying on such a customer alone is obviously not enough. of.

And through Gu Ming's mouth, Zhao Yanan also knew that mortise and tenon furniture had a vast market overseas. Zhao Yanan was naturally excited about it. This time he had the opportunity, so he wanted to let people in the furniture factory try to develop overseas. In the market, if they can attract a few big customers, that would be the best. Even if they cannot, it would be beneficial for them to become familiar with the market environment.

It is for these two reasons that Zhao Yanan agreed to Gu Ming's suggestion. Moreover, she not only sent the master masters and ordinary apprentices from the furniture factory to go overseas with the goods, but also sent many salesmen from the furniture factory to go with them. .

Originally, this was not a bad thing, and was even beneficial to the development of their furniture factory. But who knew that the goods had an accident at sea.

"You mean, the goods and the accompanying people have all disappeared?" Wu Fan sat on the sofa and looked at Zhao Yanan.

"Yeah." Zhao Yanan nodded and said: "It's the news that Gu Ming told me. More people followed Changyang Trading. We had been keeping in touch with each other. Who knew that we suddenly lost contact yesterday? Changyang Trading The people were also very anxious and asked many questions, but they still couldn’t find out anything about those people and the goods.”

"Did Gu Ming provide any useful information?" Wu Fan asked.

If it was just the missing goods, Wu Fan wouldn't take it too seriously. At most, he would have to pay some money. Moreover, it was the people from Changyang Trading who had to pay, and it had nothing to do with their furniture factory. But now, the employees of the furniture factory are also on that ship. , also disappeared together, so Wu Fan had to worry about it.

"Yes." Zhao Yanan said: "Gu Ming said that before losing contact, the crew members seemed to have said that they saw pirate ships operating nearby."

"Pirate ship?" Wu Fan frowned slightly.

"Yes." Zhao Yanan nodded and said: "There is a sea area along the Changyang trade route that is often visited by pirates. Every time their goods go to sea, they will accompany other ships, and they will also ask for security to protect the voyage. , nothing has happened so far, but this time, I don’t know what happened, but I encountered an accident.”

"It seems that the disappearance of the goods and people on the ship should be related to pirates." Wu Fan said.

If such a thing happened in the game world, Wu Fan's first reaction would be that they might have encountered some powerful monsters. The sea has always been a mysterious existence, whether in reality or in the game world. It is not strange that there are powerful monsters in the sea in the game world.

But this is the real world, and pirates often appear in the sea where the ship disappeared. It is difficult for Wu Fan not to connect the disappearance of the ship with pirates.

"Gu Ming said so too." Zhao Yanan said: "But he said he still couldn't figure it out."

"What?"

"He said that it is true that pirates often appear in that sea area, but in the past, as long as a large fleet passed by, or the fleet had security protection, the pirates would not take action. They would only take action against those single ships. So, if this incident was really done by those pirates, it seems a bit unusual." Zhao Yanan said.

Wu Fan frowned again.

Is there really another mystery in this incident?
