"…Oh…" After hearing this, Sun Jiming couldn't help but tease the boss of the boat, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and spoke again.

"Didn't you lie to me with the story? Depending on your situation, the boss of the ship shouldn't be too harsh?" Sun Jiming looked at the two of them and asked.

"...No cheating, no cheating..." The negotiating man waved his hand quickly and explained: "After suffering that loss, the ship boss also restrained a lot, and the current business of the fleet is not very similar to before.

In the past, the fleet was just a business of transportation, but now, the fleet only accepts orders with a lot of energy from the cargo owners and can properly manage all kinds of joints along the way.

Such orders can flow out for small boats like us to carry, and the freight is generally not high, but the advantage is that all parties along the way can save countless troubles.

The ship owner will control the order quantity, leaving half of the ship and bring his own goods with him. The cargo owner acquiesced the quantity, and our goods will not take action locally to grab the business of the customers and local businessmen.

Generally, we are located along the road, around the destination or further away, in remote and remote mountainous areas. We will take the goods we bring and act as peddlers and merchants to sell them.

The wages we made on the boat were not as high as those of the village tourists he had hired before, but we brought things to the mountains to sell them, and we made a lot of profits.

In that kind of place, all kinds of needles and threads are not cheap, and we usually change the mountain products, which are cheaper when changing. If we take them out and find places with high prices, we can make more money. We mainly make profits from this."

Sun Jiming nodded and asked curiously: "Then this life should be quite dangerous, right? Not to mention poor mountains and bad waters, the troublemakers, gangs, jackals, tigers and leopards, aren't that easy to break through?"

The negotiating man nodded and said, "I guess half of the boat people were caught in, but mainly at the beginning, after finding out the tricks later, there were not many such things.

For local peddlers, we will bring some good wine, good cloth and some foreign things for them to use to handle difficult villains. These things are basically impossible to find in those places. They will buy them at the original price and provide us with some local news.

With this kind of news, we can avoid a lot of trouble. As for jackals, tigers and leopards, we now know how to avoid and avoid dealing with it. Generally, it is not too unlucky and will not send it to the tiger's mouth by ourselves."

"...It's not easy..." Sun Jiming sighed and said curiously: "Then it's so dangerous, how do you and the boss of the ship make a profit?"

Hearing this, the negotiating man immediately blew his beard and stared at him, constantly complaining and complaining, and talking a lot. Obviously, the boss of the ship was really unwelcome.

According to the negotiation man, at the beginning, the ship owner packed goods for them at a higher price at the periphery of the fleet's docking place. They brought goods to sell them, and they were responsible for their own profits and losses.

At first, it was 10% or 20%, but later, when they saw that they made a lot of money, they began to find various reasons to increase the price, and at the highest, it was more than 50% or 60%.

They stopped doing it and began to secretly get goods around themselves. When they came back to make up accounts, the boss naturally noticed that he was unhappy at first, and even made up his mind to add some wages to them during the uphill period, and then all the income was given to him.

Later, they still felt angry and had the idea of ​​joining him together, so they gave up and didn't mention it again. Later, they still had various arguments, pulled each other back, and lost a lot of money in the business several times before basically reaching an agreement.

They pay for the money to get the goods themselves, sell them by themselves, and bear the profit and loss. The ship owner provides transportation and entrainment services and then charges high freight fees.

"...Anyway, we are like a boat of small vendors! Even small vendors are not as good as those of you. The boat boss is still trying all kinds of ways to reduce the benefits from the cracks of our teeth. We calculated that at least 50% or 60% of the profits will fall into the boat boss's pocket..."

The negotiating man complained and listed a lot of examples, such as the daily wages of boat workers to minimize; when the boat does not leave or starts work, it is not counted; the time they go up the mountain also counts the ship's lost wages; various management points along the way also require them to make a big deal, saying that it is either transporting to big customers or returning on an empty ship, and that they need to handle the goods...

And so on, there are countless ways to pay money from their mouths, openly and secretly, in disguise. The negotiating man talked for a long time before he finished talking about some bad and ridiculous things.

"You didn't think about leaving because you were so cruel?" Boss Qiu also became interested and asked curiously.

"…ah..." the negotiating man sighed and smiled bitterly: "The boss of the ship is now learning, just like controlling the fleet's cargo volume, which is also strictly controlled to gain benefits from us.

It feels that it is not cost-effective to leave, and it can be reluctant to accept biting, and it will not force us to join forces to oppose him. Anyway, if we make more, he will make more money. If we make less, he will relax. If we don’t force us too hard, it will be unhappy, but..."

The man in negotiation looked helpless, and the man who led the way also added, saying that the boss of the ship often sowed the disagreement among the crew, which made everyone have many conflicts and they could not easily hold the group.

Moreover, the ship owner was very unwilling. He usually received and delivered goods. After loading and unloading, he liked to run far away from the city, saying that the city spent a lot of money and wanted to save money. As a result, when they saved more money, he secretly stole the money to collect more money.

Like Shanghai, the cost here is expensive, and the boat owners are the most disgusting and disliked and disliked to run. They only passed by the river and looked far away. The boat owners could recite it all over for half a day.

This time, they went to Suzhou to carry goods. Due to the delay of more than ten days, they made an appointment to go to Shanghai to gain a long experience and spend money at the same time, so they did not spend it, and eventually became the boss. As for whether the money was spent? How much did it cost? Then haha!

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense! There's something about this, but it's not that serious. Most people really want to come here to play. The more the boss of this boat doesn't want us to come, but instead he's scratching his heart in his heart. In addition, some colleagues brag that if there is no chance this time, they will find other opportunities!"

The negotiation man also drank a sip of sour juice and found that it was indeed appetizing. He hurriedly called him to eat. The topic also shifted from these things to the negotiation man's knowledge of the negotiation man everywhere, especially the dishes he tasted in various places. Sun Jiming was so eager to hear.

"…Du thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu th

"Is they? Are they not waiting below?" Sun Jiming asked the negotiating man in confusion.

"Let them go up first, and exchange them according to the colors and styles. Please change them a little later..." The negotiation man quickly explained.

He said this, but his face showed a little helplessness, and there was obviously something inside. This kind of internal conflict, since the man who negotiated did not want to say more, Sun Jiming did not ask too much.

The few people had already eaten almost the same food, so they put the remaining clear light in the bowl together to clean up the table, and everyone who had exchanged clothes came down one after another.

Sun Jiming first asked the negotiation man to lead the way, changed his coat with the man, matched them with their pants tower, and also let the two exchange belts.

He did not favor the two of them, but used them to make a move for everyone first. He could see clearly what was the matter of being sowed away by the man leading the way. I guess these people had long dispersed into a mess.

The two of them adjusted their cuffs, collars and buttons, etc., and then let everyone see it. Sure enough! The questioning eyes, the people who were hiding behind and looked suspicious, disappeared immediately, and instead surrounded them.

Sun Jiming asked everyone to form a half circle and then started to adjust. Most of them were OK after swapping, but he still fine-tuned it.

After this adjustment, I really liked a lot of things, but I still felt that there was something wrong. After looking around for a few rounds, my eyes finally stopped.

"Brother Sun, what's wrong? Is there any problem?" Many negotiators who had a relationship with Sun Jiming closer saw him frowning, were slightly stunned, and immediately asked.

"It's okay! I feel that the shoes are a little inappropriate? Why don't you change them?" Sun Jiming waved his hand and asked.

"…This…" the negotiating man scratched his head and said, "We only wore this pair. Many people's feet are different in size, and our other shoes are basically like this..."

Sun Jiming quickly interrupted and said, "I mean to buy a pair of new shoes, don't worry! The prices are quite affordable, and if you buy them, you usually wear them on the boat, so there should be no problem at all, and it may even be more suitable than cloth shoes.

The place is not far away. Take Fuxi Road and go all the way to the Fahua where there is a staircase. Recently, a large number of vendors selling ready-made clothes and shoes have gathered. The goods are good and the prices are low. There are just a few brothers who don’t match the clothes well, so they just go there to make a nice look."

After hearing this, the man in negotiation looked at everyone and found that no one stood up to object. Some even suggested that they just go there to play tonight and buy shoes.

Seeing this scene, after the negotiating man asked Sun Jiming, he simply made a decision. Although some people objected, most of them had no objection.

Everyone prepared themselves. About ten minutes later, everyone left the hotel and followed the short street on the left, slowly squeezed out with the crowd.

Although the three streets are only crossroads, but two are shorter, they form a similar situation of snacks and stalls, so as soon as the temperature drops, the place immediately becomes lively and crowded.

After squeezing out of the street, looking at the brightly lit and crowded trunk roads, everyone was a little confused. Along the way, listening to Sun Jiming's instructions and introductions to various places, everyone was even more confused.

When they arrived at the long stall, everyone basically followed Sun Jiming's recommendation and picked up work boots with double rubber bottoms, thick cloth and high-tops. Some people were still confused and couldn't help but buy one or two new clothes.

When we come back, it is already the sky above the moon. It may not be too much interest, or it may be that it is really a foul smell. Both sides are getting along well, and even Sun Jiming can get along with the man who is quarrel.

The two sides separated at the intersection of the street, but before Sun Jiming had gone out too far, the boss Qian took the people to his side.

"I can't see any suspicion for you..." Sun Jiming spoke in a stiff tone, saying everything he saw and heard today was intact.

"Is that OK? Don't come to me again in the future. How do you choose? How do you stand in a team? That's your business. I don't want to get involved, let alone I can't make my own decision."
