Chapter 241 Don’t be afraid of gangsters being bad, just be afraid of gangsters being educated! Chen Han sat on the main seat, and Xia Yuanji sat on his left hand. Information about twenty businessmen has been prepared at the main table. After opening the booklet, I read everyone's information in half a cup of tea. After he closed the fold, he took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone who is invited here should know what's going on, right?" The old man on the right hand side, who has gray hair on his temples, is well-kept, has a kind face, and is holding a cane. He should be about sixty years old. He is about to stand up.
Chen Han waved his hand: "You don't have to stand up, just sit down and talk!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" the old man said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, we have been blessed by the imperial court and have accumulated a small fortune. If we don't want to serve the imperial court, we will be like animals. After hearing what Lord Xia said, we are deeply honored that the Duke wants us to join the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce and discuss important matters together. It is our duty to be able to do business with the imperial court. Even if we give up all our family assets, we will have no complaints. " Another businessman said: "The Duke is a great sage in our dynasty. He has a strategic mind and extraordinary wisdom. His kindness is widespread and he benefits all people. We deeply respect him."
Hearing his words and knowing his actions, he is a role model for us. I am grateful to the Duke for his guidance to us. We are ready to attend the great event and are willing to serve the imperial court as hard as we can! " Uh…… Chen Han felt ashamed after hearing what they said. These businessmen spoke in classical Chinese, and their sophistication made Chen Han, the duke of the country, feel ashamed. It seems that after doing business to a certain level, the level of education of these people is not low at all. It's just that their status as businessmen has cut off their path to officialdom. Of course, it can also be seen from here that these people Xia Yuanji found have some material. Chen Han asked them to compliment him before starting to talk about the current plan.
"Your brands are all pretty good compared to the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court has given us current good policies. I hope you can participate. The conditions are what you know. If you have any questions, just ask them, and I, who can answer them, will answer them for you here! " These businessmen looked at each other and finally expressed their doubts. “Although those of us who do business know that we can’t afford it early without profit, we still want to ask, since the imperial court has such good things, wouldn’t it be better to put them directly on the market? What does it mean to let us come and share the profits? " This question is very tricky. It seems that I am trusting you, but I am still a little confused in my heart. Of course this is human nature. All Xia Yuanji knew about this issue was that Chen Han wanted to use the resources of these businessmen. But Xia Yuanji also had a question. Why did he form such a close business team when doing business with them directly?
Chen Han explained with a smile: "It seems that if you all participate together, you will get a share of the profits, just like the court doing good deeds. But we are just sitting here talking about business, and we are not doing it in vain. To be honest with you, the reason why the imperial court recruited you is to use the sales network that you have developed for decades or even hundreds of years to be used by the imperial court.
You have connections and the court has resources. This is a strong alliance. As you said, the court can also force you to cooperate, but if you obey on the surface if it harms others and does not benefit yourself, how can you be willing to do so secretly?
Instead of doing this kind of thankless work that makes everyone unhappy, it is better to open up and do business. The imperial court has shown enough sincerity to tell you that what it could have forced you to do is that the imperial court has lowered its status to do business with you, and you also open your hearts to do business with the imperial court.
Mutual benefit is that simple! " When Chen Han said this, all the businessmen present were very moved. The businessman who was speaking politely at the beginning began to wipe his tears. "I often hear at home that the Duke of the State is a bright man, and I admire him a lot, but I always think that it is just to gain fame. However, after listening to the Duke's words today, I realized that the rumors were true. The Duke was indeed not one of those pedantic civil servants who likes to float in the air. good! Since you, the Duke, have such an open mind, it would be hypocritical for us to shirk it any further. " Other businessmen also said: "That's true! Mr. Guo, since you are open and honest, we won't hide it. We will do whatever you tell us to do?" "Yes! From now on, we people will be at your disposal." "If I still shrink back when I have such a huge mind, it means I am not good enough as a human being. Don't worry, Duke, we will never have any second thoughts about you from now on." After everyone opened their hearts, Chen Han was not polite. "Now you all know about the shares of the General Chamber of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty. There are two million shares belonging to the merchants. Mr. Xia has come to twenty of you to ask each of you to claim one hundred thousand shares. Our company knows that this share dividend is just a small profit in your eyes, but the reason why we are going through this procedure is not to take off our pants and fart, but to tell you that you can enjoy the rights after buying the shares, but you must also fulfill your obligations. The reputation of Huangshang is not just measured by money. When the country is in trouble, you must be the first to rush forward. You must be the first to implement the economic policies that the country requires you to cooperate with.
When you are asked to give up profits, you must give up profits. When you are asked to help others, you must help others. " Chen Han's expression was very serious. Everyone's expressions were very serious, because they knew that the things discussed now might affect the development of their families in the future. Then Chen Han said: "Of course, while fulfilling your responsibilities, you can also enjoy many rights.
The current businesses of the Daming Chamber of Commerce include cement factories, red brick factories, steel factories, glass factories, and machinery manufacturing factories. In the future, there may also be arsenals.
The lowest price your store can get from Daming Store is 20% off. The maximum price reduction depends on the actual situation.
The most important thing is that you have priority in getting the goods. Nowadays, cement and glass red bricks are so popular. I think you are businessmen, and the information in the market should be more sensitive than us. " A businessman immediately replied: "Master Guo, our company's main activities are in Jiangxi. I heard about it, good guy, and now everyone is asking about cement and red bricks like crazy.
With the current font sizes on the market, whoever can buy cement and red bricks will be waiting to make a fortune. It's a pity that the goods are so tight right now that no one can get them. " Chen Han nodded. This is the same situation they investigated. It’s a seller’s market now, and the new cement red bricks have caused a big stir. Mainly less, Of course, the most important thing is that there is less glass produced now. Except for part of it used to make telescopes, most of it is used to renovate the glass windows of the palace. After Chen Han published three consecutive articles in the Daming Engineering College Journal about how bright the palace would be after installing glass windows,
It made the whole world want to get some glass to decorate their houses. The palaces have begun to install glass, which is the best publicity.
Therefore, today's businessmen are digging holes in mountains to get some goods, but without channels, they can only be helpless. It was only after Chen Han realized that the propaganda campaign of the past six months was effective that he started to establish the Ming Chamber of Commerce. A representative of Zhejiang merchants said: "The situation is the same over there. We are all asking who has channels to purchase goods from cement factories and red brick factories, but it is a pity that no one has access." Chen Han smiled and said: "Now you are their gateway. I have already made a plan.
Most of the glass decoration of the palace has been completed. Through continuous publicity in the past six months, the concept of cement and red brick houses has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Building a house is now no problem.
Then there will be a market for new building materials, and our factories under the Daming Chamber of Commerce will begin to launch large-scale launches into the private market.
After you buy shares, the Daming Chamber of Commerce adopts a distribution system, which means that it does not sell to the outside world, but comes to the Daming Chamber of Commerce factory to directly obtain the goods through you, and you go and sell them. Let you make a profit first and see how the market reacts. After you have earned enough, you will build factories in various places according to the model of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce.
Daming Engineering College will provide you with technical support.
You are responsible for the wages of these technical talents and their position arrangements. What do you think? " The reason why Chen Han thinks this way is that it is really impossible for the imperial court to build factories everywhere to promote it, but to promote it through these businessmen to reduce the imperial court's costs. The eyes of the twenty businessmen present lit up after hearing what Chen Han said. Xia Yuanji also found it novel, but soon realized that this approach was very good. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that Chen Han was simply a genius. It seemed that Chen Han was indeed prepared and did not just ask him to gather so many people. When a businessman heard this, he was very surprised: "It would be great if Lord Guo could really do this." "Yes! If there are technical personnel who can really cooperate with us, we will definitely give them the best treatment." "If such a factory can be opened locally and the quality is the same, the transportation cost will be reduced a lot!" "Yes, yes, that would be the best. I had this idea before because I was afraid that the Duke would refuse." Chen Han said: "Of course, there are conditions for supporting you in building a factory. Every time you build a factory, the court will not only assign you technical personnel, but also invest in technology, accounting for 30% of each of your factories. What do you think?" After listening to Chen Han's words, Xia Yuanji felt even more that Chen Han was a genius and also a profiteer. Every time a factory is built, the Daming Chamber of Commerce will take 30% of the shares.
This is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce simply doing business without capital.
Even if the Daming Chamber of Commerce does not do such business in the future, it will still be able to make a lot of money. Xia Yuanji felt that these businessmen might not accept such conditions. But what Xia Yuanji didn't expect was that after hearing Chen Han's words, those businessmen said almost without thinking: "That's no problem!" "We are happy even if the imperial court takes 50%." "Yes! Having the imperial court as our backer is something that no businessman can enjoy in a few lifetimes." "Master Guo, even if you ask for half of the profits, we won't complain." "We are lucky enough to be able to do business with the imperial court. How dare we have other unreasonable thoughts!" Xia Yuanji was surprised when he heard what these people said: "Everyone, are you sincere?" A businessman replied: "Master Xia, of course we are sincere. What you see is that the imperial court seems to be getting 30% of the profits for free without having to pay any money. What we see is the other benefits that this brand can bring to us. To put it bluntly, other competitors with this brand are not qualified to compete with us. We can also get more people by doing other businesses. help.
This is what we really want to make. After all, smart traders only make limited profits and are not greedy for all profits. " Xia Yuanji was deeply impressed by these words. As a scholar, even though he has summoned these businessmen, he still has a trace of discrimination against businessmen in his heart. He always feels that these people have fallen into the eyes of money. But I didn't expect that other people's considerations were much deeper than what I knew. Although these businessmen are not as treacherous and cunning as those in the officialdom, But they also have a lot of considerations in shopping malls like battlefields. For example, with the name Royal Trading Company, you can do more business outside.
As long as they ensure that there is no shortage of money and no harm to the people,
Then their sales will be infinite, When other businessmen see them, they have to look high at them. Just by relying on the four words "Royal Trading Company", they can receive more business opportunities than others. Because of this, these traders will not care about Chen Han's profits.
Even they would rather spend more money to take down Chen Han's golden brand. After he gave him a step to get off, these businessmen were really good at getting off the donkey along the slope. A businessman said directly, "Master Guo, don't say you only want 30% of the profit. So what if you are 50-50 divorced from us? We have become such a great favor to the imperial court. It has both technology and brand, and can also sell new materials separately.
I just told you that anyone who has this kind of material can make a fortune nowadays.
We are not exaggerating at all. Everyone is out of stock right now.
If we have these goods in our own hands, we can set our own prices after taking them back.
How much we can earn is our own business. " What they look at is never the immediate benefit, but the huge benefit later. Chen Han also laughed, "If you want 50% of the profit, wouldn't you make a lot less?" It was the elegant businessman who spoke again: "Master Guo really looks down on us. Again,
Being able to do business with the imperial court is already the greatest honor for us businessmen. " Chen Han was not joking. After everyone agreed, Chen Han came up with a series of contracts.
He even said that every time the following businessmen use their own technical staff to help them build a factory, they will take half of the profit from the factory.
He has already prepared everything. The 30% he just mentioned was just a test. These traders were shocked when they saw Chen Han giving out the contract. It seems that at such a young age, Chen Han has already mastered their psychology. This is a very clever move. Although everyone is already standing on the same boat,
But Chen Han's defensiveness did not lessen, but this did not make these traders feel uncomfortable. Instead, he solemnly signed his name and brought over the share capital... (End of this chapter)
