Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Qian Yu saw that the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly said with a smile: "Boss Tang, I think you misunderstood. I don't think it's expensive, I just think it's too cheap."

"In fact, compared to French currency and dollars, I have a better way to pay you, which is to settle directly with grain. I can also give you a discount. I will just pay you the grain at 70% of the market price that day."

The idea of settling accounts with grain was actually proposed by Kong Hao. The main reason is that a lot of grain will be shipped back in the future. Instead of selling the grain for money and then paying the fees, it is better to give the grain directly. This also saves some unscrupulous grain merchants from making a profit from the price difference in the middle.

As long as the route is open, Kong Hao's family will transport back a large amount of supplies, not just wheat, but also soybeans, peanuts, potatoes, etc. After all, even if they transport 5,000 tons of the least valuable potatoes, it is still a very good thing for China at present, and it can stabilize the grain prices of several counties.

Minister Zhang also agreed with this. As long as more grain is put on the market, even if those unscrupulous merchants want to hoard grain to make dirty money, they will probably lose everything.

Of course, the first thing is to stabilize the food prices in Quangang City so that the people here can have enough food and clothing and have jobs to support their families. Only then can we spread to other places. At the same time, our base is also one of the other places.

All of this needs to be kept secret and carried out quietly, just like the spring rain, which moistens everything silently.

Hearing that they could pay wages directly with grain, the three people present were so shocked that they stood up. Gang Leader Tang was so excited that he couldn't even speak. Only the outspoken Zhang San spoke again to confirm:

"Manager Qian, are you sure you want to pay with grain? And 70% of the grain price? That's great."

"It's absolutely true. I can guarantee that. Anyway, the food our boss brings back has to be sold, so we might as well give you some benefits."

"By the way, once the transportation line is opened, more and more cargo ships will arrive at the port in the future. I wonder if we can cooperate in depth?"

At this time, Don also came to his senses. The main reason was that he had never encountered such a good thing before, settling wages directly with food. He didn't know which boss came up with this brilliant idea.

In this era, even if you have money, you cannot buy a large amount of food in a short period of time. Take Quangang City as an example. If you buy 100,000 kilograms of food at once, it is estimated that the price of food will rise in less than two hours. This is determined by the supply and demand relationship.

Although the government sometimes limits the rise in food prices, any measures will be futile if there is a serious shortage of food on the market.

Basically, as soon as ordinary people get their wages, they will immediately convert the money into food and store it at home because they are worried about rising food prices. However, we never have enough food, and the lives of ordinary people are miserable.

Now they heard that there would be more cargo ships arriving at the port in the future and that they would choose to cooperate with their Sancai Gang. How could such a good thing not make the three people present ecstatic?

Boss Qian patted his chest and said, "Boss Qian, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as we can do it, our Sancai Gang of more than 500 brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Boss Tang, it's like this. Of these 5,000 tons of supplies, about 2,000 tons will be sold in the city, and the rest we will transport to other places."

"Because our transportation capacity is limited, if you, the Sancai Gang, are able to form a transport team to assist us in transporting various goods. Of course, we can also use food as compensation, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

The three people present were also very excited after hearing this. The core members of the Sancai Gang were originally from the army, and they were best at fighting and killing. If they were to escort supplies, it would indeed be a good livelihood.

Of course, the most important thing is that this kind of thing can make money, and it is a long-term job, which is much better than doing hard labor at the dock.

"Manager Qian, let us consider this matter for a while. We will discuss it in detail after the goods are shipped this time."

"Boss Tang, that's no problem. I'll send someone to inform you in three days. You need to be prepared in advance. I'll take my leave now."

After Qian Yu left, Zhang San asked curiously, "Brother, why do you still need to consider it? I think you can just agree to such a good offer."

Seeing the silly Third Brother in front of him, Brother Tang did not respond, but turned to ask Li Er beside him:

"Second brother, please explain it to me."

Li Er said earnestly, "Third brother, don't judge things by appearances. This is the first time we have dealt with Manager Qian, and we don't know anything about him."

"We can't disbelieve what he just said, but we can't believe it completely either. We'll have to wait until the cargo ship arrives at the port in a few days to see the outcome."

"After all, setting up a transport team is not a small matter. It requires a lot of resources. If we rush into it without seeing the other party's strength, once we are fooled, our Sancai Gang will be doomed."

At this time, Brother Tang also added: "In fact, I just observed Manager Qian, and I think he is also examining the strength of our Sancai Gang. The next 5,000 tons of materials unloading is a test for us. Once we pass the test, our Sancai Gang will soar to the sky; similarly, if we do not gain the recognition of the other party, the cooperation will only be this time, and Manager Qian will definitely find someone else to replace us next time."

After listening to the explanations of his two brothers, Zhang San suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. We can just speak out. Why make it so complicated? I hate guessing what others are thinking the most."

Tang Da and Li Er looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Sometimes being simple is not a bad thing. At least there are not so many worries.

"By the way, second brother, go and ask the other two families at the dock to come over later and tell them that I have something important to discuss with you."

"Brother, you want to get the other two families to do this together. This is indeed a good idea."

"Yes, that's my plan. We are all Chinese, so we should help each other as much as we can. Besides, if we try to do this alone, we will easily get full."

"When the in-laws see us making money, they will try to make trouble behind our backs. We are not afraid, but if we start a fight, it will affect Qian's opinion of our Sancai Gang."

"It would be better to share some of the profits and win over the other two families to work together. As long as we have a dominant position, it will be fine. Especially if we really form a material transportation team in the future, it will be of great benefit to our Sancai Gang's transformation."

It has to be said that, after all, Boss Tang was a battalion commander in the Northeast Army, so he had a big vision. The heads of the other two families were invited, and after hearing Boss Tang's plan, they were all impressed.

This kind of generosity of making money together is not something that a small gang like theirs can compare to.

So after discussion, the three companies formed an alliance, with the Sancai Gang as the main group, which was responsible for contacting the cargo owners and taking 50% of all profits. The other two companies provided the same number of people and handling equipment and shared the remaining 50%. This was a situation that everyone was happy with.
