Chapter 277 The Wharf Opens a New Chapter

Chapter 277
Bailang went to the pier of the industrial park to guard before dawn. This was the first time he went to the pier so solemnly to watch something in person.Mainly because it was too important, and he was worried that something might go wrong.

"All ready?"

"As for the seat knife, everything has been prepared. I have checked it four times, and there is absolutely no mistake." Zhang Shun seemed very calm.Not only because he has seen the big scene, but also because he is the most clear about the mess in his hands, and he is the one who checks it himself, so he knows best if there is any problem.

"What about those goods?"

"It has been loaded and waited in the waiting yard outside the dock. There are all soldiers of the army around. Our people can only take a look from a distance. If you stop for a long time, you will be interrogated, so there is no way to know the situation there. .”

"Normal. Those are all ordnance and consumables. It's no surprise that the garrison is keeping an eye on them. We'll just make sure to ship them and leave later."

After the two chatted for a while, Bailang saw the light on the guiding lighthouse in the distance flash twice, and then heard the horn of the big ship before it approached the shore.

"Coming!" Zhang Shun exclaimed in a low voice, then confessed to Bai Lang, and then hurriedly ran to the edge of the pier and began to sit down and direct Lifu on the pier to start formal preparations.Then it was time for him to get busy.

Almost at the same time, the carriages and horses at the cargo yard also began to move. Large trucks carrying heavy ordnance began to arrive at the dock, and then under guidance, they entered different berths in batches to wait for the large ship to arrive.

In fact, under normal circumstances, this kind of "tight fit" general loading and unloading is not carried out on the wharf.Because it's completely unnecessary.After the ship docks, many people choose to rest for a period of time, ranging from one or two hours to half a day.Moreover, loading and unloading is a troublesome task, which requires sufficient strength and experience. Once there are too many cargoes, it will also involve tidying up the cargo holds on the ship.

But this time is not an ordinary situation. This is the first time that the industrial park dock directly loads ordnance. In the past, it had to be transported to Beicheng dock and then loaded onto the ship.That way it will take one to two days longer than loading the ship directly here in the industrial park.

In other words, the delivery of ordnance is now starting to care about one more day or one day less.

Of course, if the wharf on the industrial park side is not enough to meet the conditions for fast shipment, then this time will be the last time, and it will still be transferred back to Beicheng Wharf.

At first glance, this matter seems to be completely harmful to Bailang.Because it will expose the dock of the industrial park to more people's eyes, it will bring some hidden dangers to the black market transactions he secretly operates.

Moreover, the volume of ordnance transportation is not small, and it will also occupy berths, forcing the terminal to continue to increase investment.Lifu and Chema also need to expand their scale.The military will not pay much money in this regard, and they will be lucky not to lose money.

But Bailang was not just settling these two accounts in his mind, he also had other accounts to settle.As long as it is beneficial overall, he will do it. Even if he suffers a small loss in a certain small aspect, it is not unbearable.

Bailang's calculation is that if the docks in the industrial park can start loading and unloading ordnance directly, then new warehouses will be built for ordnance in the industrial park.In other words, there are more opportunities for him to come into contact with.Although this is not a direct good news for him, it is also a rare opportunity.

Just as Bailang was thinking about it, the pier was already bustling with activity.The sound of chants and yells, as well as the rattling of cantilevered teeth, followed one after another.Zhang Shun can still be vaguely seen jumping up and down in it.Even Wang Lin, who was in charge of the black market and pretended to be Lifu, couldn't help sweating profusely along with him.

Fortunately, this was the first time, so the army didn't push too hard. The time given was one and a half hours. When it got daylight, all the ordnance on the dock was boarded.The dull sound of the horn sounded, and large ships began to leave the shore, heading south smoothly.

At this time, Zhang Shuncai, who was soaked in sweat, came over to Bailang with a smile on his face.

"Zudao, everything goes well!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Let me tell all the guys that this month's monthly salary will be increased by [-]%. In addition, you can start to prepare more for the carriages and horses. If this trip is successful, this should be the norm in the army in the future. . You can’t be so busy every day that you don’t have much time to spare, right? Moreover, the berths at the back pier need to be expanded, and you still have too few manpower.”

Hearing Bai Lang mention this, the original smile on Zhang Shun's face collapsed instantly.

"Zao Dao, in this situation, I'm afraid it's hard to find manpower."

Bai Lang was naturally aware of Zhang Shun's worries, and he enlightened: "When the strong labor force is gone, you can find a farmer's wife in her thirties! Many of the laborers in your hands are the ones who take care of their families, and those women are not as strong as Her husband’s family can also help with towing and unloading light cargo. And her husband’s family is also at the dock, so there won’t be any rumors.”

"Ah? Can this work?" Zhang Shun has worked in the car and horse dealership for decades and has never heard of this method. He thought it sounded reasonable, but after thinking about it, he felt unreliable.So I can't make up my mind.

Bai Lang smiled and said: "Try it. Women definitely do not mean that they are weak, nor can they only stay at home. Their power is also very powerful, but it is just suppressed. Besides, you are doing good things. If a family Both of them can make money, and the young and old in the family can survive. Especially in such a difficult time right now."

"Okay, little one understands, I must try it as Zuo Dao said."

"Oh, by the way, this is your previous water money deed. I don't think it's necessary to hold it anymore. You can take it and burn it yourself. From now on, you will be counted as a member of the knife shop." Bailang took it from his arms while talking. After handing out a contract document to Zhang Shun, he smiled even more happily when he saw the other party's stunned expression.

"Zhang Shun, thank you for your kindness!" Thousands of words could be said in this sentence, and then Zhang Shun knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Lang.He knew very well that from this moment on, he was no longer a long-term worker like selling himself, but was officially regarded as one of Bailang's own.And in today's world, being able to enter a place like a knife studio where we can hug each other and keep warm is a good thing that many people would never even dream of.
Bailang accepted the other party's kneeling with a smile, then helped him up and patted the other party's shoulder, telling him to do a good job in the future.He wasn't worried about Zhang Shun's rebellion at all. After all, they were all people who came into contact with the black market. Where could they be rebellious?Don't die?

After kowtowing, Zhang Shun walked away with a happy smile, but a guest came behind Bailang.

"Bai Zuodao is so considerate of his subordinates. No wonder Dongcheng Knife Hall is prospering under Bai Zuodao's management, which is enviable!"

Bailang turned his head back, and replied with a smile towards the two old men walking behind him: "Why do you two old gentlemen have time to stroll by the river today?"
