Mo Lan opened it and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected him to act faster than she had. "Thank you. I was just about to have Han Shuang investigate. This is very convenient. Since we're on the topic of shipbuilding, let's also discuss the cooperation and sign a binding agreement."
"Okay, how do you want me to participate?" After a day of processing, he was able to accept it calmly.
"That's simple. Since we're going to run the pleasure boat together, we should split the profits 50/50 so that neither of us loses out. We can each send our own people to manage it, each doing their own job, helping each other, but without interfering with each other."
As Mo Lan spoke, she listed the terms of the treaty one by one on the paper. The two of them pondered it and added some clauses to check and balance each other. Finally, they made two copies, each affixing their personal seal, and the agreement was considered reached.
Qin Su looked at the document in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly. "I seem to remember you saying yesterday that you wanted to build some kind of dock. Do you need my help?"
Mo Lan looked at Qin Su. Had she brought this up when she was drunk?
Seeing the fleeting glint of teasing in Qin Su's eyes, Mo Lan raised her hand and touched her nose. "This? It's still in the planning stages. It doesn't have much to do with the pleasure boat. I'm planning to expand the escort agency, right? I'm going to use water transport. To make loading and unloading cargo more convenient, I need to expand the docks and ports. Of course, the pleasure boat can dock there in the future, and it will be free. There are no stop fees, so you don't need to worry."
Hearing Mo Lan's explanation, Qin Su raised an eyebrow, "Then wouldn't I be the one who got the better deal?"
"Aside from cooperation, we're still friends, so how could there be no convenience at all? Once my waterways are open, bartering between the north and south will be much easier. If you want to transport any goods then, I'll give you a huge discount." Mo Lan said, picking up her tea and taking a sip.
"Then I thank you very much. As far as I know, to set up a dock in each city or county, you must obtain approval from the government. Have you thought about how to communicate with them?" Qin Su knew from Mo Lan's attitude that she did not want him to be involved.
"This is just a preliminary plan. I haven't figured out how to build the dock yet, but communicating with the government is definitely not a problem. I have it all figured out." Although the Wang family of Jiang County is the county governor, the Tong Wei family is in charge of the waterways.
To build a dock, all you need to do is get the Wei family on your side.
Moreover, the project along the river is quite extensive and cannot be completed in just one or two days.
Upon hearing Mo Lan's plan, Qin Su's eyebrows twitched. The Jing River runs north to south, and there is also the Wei River. The two rivers meet in Jiang County, and the Wei River leads directly to Liangjing.
Thinking of this, Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and couldn't help but suggest, "Since you want to barter between the North and South, what about the Wei River between the East and West? Is it in your plan?"
"As far as I know, the Wei River originates from the Yunmu Snow Mountain and flows eastward into the sea, passing through four national borders and countless tribes. Theoretically, this route is more profitable than the Jing River, but at the same time, the accompanying danger is also very high. With my current strength, it would be too troublesome if I couldn't take it. I'm aware of my limitations."
As she spoke, Mo Lan rested her chin on her hand, looked at Qin Su opposite her, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, "You're interested?"
"A bit. Like you said, this line is too complicated. Let me think about it some more." Qin Su didn't hide his thoughts. Just like Mo Lan said, there are many dangers, but also greater profits. If you're not careful, you'll end up doing all the work for someone else.
