Chapter 436: Anything that is in demand is a commodity

Sports leagues?

What's that?

Guo Dan's move did not cause any sensation in Weihui Mansion.

There are a bunch of question marks popping up everywhere.

Because these movements have existed before, they are not novel, not enough to attract everyone's attention, and they are already going downhill, almost underestimated, because contemporary rituals fundamentally contradict these, and there is no Guo Dan shouting, and it immediately became a sensation.

Although Guo Dan threatened to invest 10,000 taels, most people didn't know much about it, they felt that the money was too far away from them, so they didn't pay much attention.

In the face of such a bland reaction, Guo Dan was not depressed, he was also improvised, he was forced to do this, he didn't plan it earlier, this reaction should have been.

This proves that everyone is not stupid.

Moreover, he is not saying that he wants to take care of everything, such as this kind of sports competition, it is interesting to have everyone involved, it is impossible for him to succeed alone, fortunately, Weihui Mansion has matured the conditions, that is, to start urbanization, everyone is concentrated together, sports want to rise, urbanization is an important foundation.

So Guo Dan made an appointment to meet with the wealthy businessmen of Weihui Mansion.

"Captain Guo, now my workshop is still short of people, and I'm so busy, how can I be in the mood to do this."

"To put it mildly, we are all very busy, and even the usual time for eating is squeezed out."

"Besides, the people don't like these either, if they really like it, they can't organize it."

"Nephew, you just hold a poker tournament, no one has played Keju and polo for a long time, and there are not many Go and chess players."

......

When these wealthy businessmen heard Guo Dan say that they should all participate, they all shook their heads and had no interest in it.

Buying and selling is just doing business, and engaging in these messy things is simply a waste of time and money, don't you know what a plaything is?

Except for the new poker, the rest of these things are not attractive, and they certainly don't care about the private lives of their employees, and they want their employees to know what to do every day, and they don't have any entertainment.

Guo Dan listened to their polite refusal, and drank tea leisurely.

Seeing that their feedback was not echoed, the wealthy businessmen sitting there gradually quieted down and looked at Guo Dan blankly.

Guo Dan put the teacup on the tea table next to him and walked to the side. Everyone's eyes then moved away, and only then did they notice that there was a screen on the side, but it was covered by a red cloth, which was very peculiar.

Guo Dan directly dropped the red cloth, saw a painting on the screen, and said with a smile: "This is the Keju competition I imagined, you might as well come and take a look." ”

The rich businessmen got up one after another, and came to the front of the screen, only to see that the painting showed seven or eight fools chasing a leather ball, and the audience was sitting on the side, all of them hoarse and excited.

"It's... Isn't that the name of my workshop? ”

Hu Yuan, the largest leather merchant in Weihui Mansion, suddenly pointed to the leather fairway.

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that the words "Hu family leather" were really written on the ball.

Qin Zhuang suddenly pointed to a few words on the player's clothes and said, "Isn't this the name of my workshop?" ”

"I have it at home, too."

"I have it too."

......

After a while, they found the name of their workshop in the painting.

Immediately, they all looked at Guo Dan again.

Of course, they can understand the meaning of the advertisement, but at the same time they feel that it is not enough to attract them.

If you want to advertise, you might as well find five guns.

Guo smiled lightly: "Everyone, with more and more businessmen coming to Weihui Mansion, the competition in all walks of life is also getting bigger and bigger.

Imagine when we work together to re-promote kemari and polo.

When everyone uses the 'innovation' leather ball, then in people's minds, it is natural to think that the 'innovation' leather is the best.

When the Keju players are wearing the clothes of the Qinjia Silk Village, when people want to buy silk, they will naturally go to the Qinjia Silk Village first.

We spend the least amount of money and reap the maximum benefits. ”

As he spoke, he returned to the chair and sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "You must understand that it is not you who are choosing me now, but I am choosing me, I am not worried that no one will come, but there is a friendship between us, if I don't find you first, then you will complain about me." ”

Duan Changcun frowned and said, "Virtuous nephew, it's not that we don't want to participate, it's that this keju and polo are not very popular, and if no one watches them, it will be meaningless." ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Not to mention that I will reset the rules for Keju and polo." I remember that more than a year ago, the clothes shops along the street of Weihui Mansion were all very rough handmade clothes, because for the people at that time, as long as the clothes could cover their shame and keep warm, it didn't matter whether they looked good or not.

Can you say now that this garment doesn't need to be dyed at all, and it doesn't need to be finely handmade, and the people don't care about it at all. Is that really the case? Go to those clothing shops to see, not to mention the excellent handiwork, there are more than a dozen styles and eye colors alone.

Why? It's very simple, because the people now have some money in their hands, and they also want to wear nice clothes, it's that simple.

But in addition to clothing, they also need to be happy, after the problem of food and clothing is solved, happiness is what everyone will pursue, and the demand for happiness will be greater and greater, you can't judge the current needs with the previous impression, and anything that is demanded is a commodity, whether it is food, or happiness. You are all successful businessmen, how can you make such a mistake? ”

Qin Zhuang and the others looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Guo Dan said again: "Go back and think about it and give me an answer as soon as possible, because I believe that there will definitely be businessmen who will realize this, and when they take the initiative to seek to join the sports league, then I can only say sorry to you." ”

Qin Zhuang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since the virtuous nephew is so respected, then I naturally believe in the virtuous nephew, and besides, this does not require much investment, I still think about it, our textile workshop joins the sports league." ”

"I'm joining too."

Duan Changcun saw that Qin Zhuang agreed to come down, and he also hurriedly agreed.

When the rest of the merchants saw it, they all agreed.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "We still do this in the way of buying and selling, and then I will draw up a contract, which will indicate the investment and profit distribution, and during this period, you can also think about it, if you really think that this is unprofitable, of course I will not force you." ”

Qin Zhuang, Duan Changcun and others had just left, and the Jin merchants represented by Hu Du, Xu Han, and Wang Ji came here.

After some greetings, Guo Dan said: "I invite you to come today, mainly because of your tea house. ”

Several people just looked at each other, and did not look very surprised.

Guo smiled lightly: "It seems that you have all guessed it." ”

Hu Du did not deny it: "Captain Guo only made an appointment with a few of us, and it just so happened that we both had tea houses in Weihui Mansion, so we did vaguely guess some." ”

"I'll see more than that."

Guo Dan smiled: "There should be a reason for the gambling house, after all, the interests of your tea house are also closely related to the gambling house, and now Weihui Mansion has begun to ban gambling, which has seriously hurt the interests of your tea house." ”

Xu Han hurriedly said: "Captain Guo's words are wrong, our tea house is indeed engaged in the trading of loans, but the main thing is to hoard goods and silver, this is because we all feel that it is safer to put silver in Weihui Mansion, and there is some money in this hand, and it is normal for people to take it for loans." ”

Wang Ji said: "We don't charge much profit, although the ban on gambling will make us lose a lot of income, but we are also very supportive of the court's ban on gambling." ”

Li Rusong went to shovel the officer, where did they dare to object.

Hu Du nodded and said, "We don't have any opinion on this. ”

They are very nervous now, for fear that Guo Dan will also buy their tea house. Weihui Mansion prohibits gambling, and the gambling house is useless, but lending is only one of the businesses of the tea house, although the income is very considerable, but after all, it also involves other transactions.

Guo Dan's heart was like a mirror, and said: "Everyone, take it easy, if you really want to seal your tea house, I am not qualified to sit and talk to you, the law is not in my charge, I only take care of the finances of Weihui Mansion." ”

After a pause, he said: "I also open a money house myself, of course I can't object to you opening a tea house, besides, most of the Weihui Mansion are buyers and sellers, everyone needs funds to turnover, and they also need the existence of a tea house." ”

Hu Du hurriedly said: "Captain Guo understands the righteousness, and I admire it!" ”

Guo Dan raised his hand and said: "But it is precisely because your tea house may have a close relationship with many merchants, and I believe that there will be many disputes here, then I can't turn a blind eye to this, because I have to ensure everyone's rights and interests in money, so I will formulate a very detailed lending system."

One of the most important items is that anyone who engages in loan trading must pay a certain amount of deposit to Yinuo Bank. ”

Hu Du said: "Why is this? You are also a money bank, and I am also a money bank, why do we have to pay a deposit to you, it's not fair. ”

Guo Dan said: "The reason is very simple, because I have the tax income of Weihui Mansion as a guarantee, what guarantee do you have?" I can't be convinced of your character. If there is a debt dispute between you, I have to make sure that the litigant is adequately repaid and that you will follow the rules. ”

Wang Ji said: "Then what if we don't borrow? ”

Guo Dan said: "As long as you can guarantee that the tea house will not be involved in any money and loan transactions, of course, you don't need to pay a deposit, but if you do it secretly, you will face a huge fine." ”

As he spoke, he coughed lightly: "Everyone, I don't want your money, when you end your business, the deposit will be refunded in full, I just want to make sure that no one will innocently suffer huge losses because of the unfavorable operation of the tea estate." ”

These Jin merchants made eye contact, and Hu Du said, "We need to think about this." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Of course, this is okay, but during this period, I hope that you will temporarily stop the lending business, and wait until we have finished discussing, and then depending on the result." ”

Hu Du and they nodded and agreed.
