Chapter 892: Benefits of Establishing a Chamber of Commerce
,
Originally, Master Sun thought that the imperial court would definitely have an official document to restrict, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
The Sun family firm also has a rice grain shop, which is not small. When the Xia family began to buy rice and grain, the Sun family also received some.
But then Master Sun suddenly came back to his senses and found that the silver was not easy to earn. With Xia Shoufu's support, people are naturally not afraid.
Although he also leaned on an official of the court, that person had already instructed him not to mess around.
So Master Sun didn't buy any more grain later, if he sold it all cheaply in the end, wouldn't he steal chickens and rice?
If you waste your energy, you won't have to sell it at a loss.
After all, the brown rice purchased this time is eight or nine liters a liter, and there is not so much on weekdays.
Gu Chengyu smiled lightly, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. This leisurely appearance made Hu Maoshen and the others roll their eyes, when is it, and they are still selling Guanzi.
Xia Hongji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that this so-called Chamber of Commerce was not a good thing for him.
Originally, they had a lot of business in the Xia family, because of the name of Shoufu, they talked about business with other families, and other families always gave in to each other, who would say goodbye to their Xia family?
This has also developed their Xia family's extremely domineering temperament in business, and the merchants who cooperate with them will suffer more or less losses.
Over the years, they have long been accustomed to this way of making money, but they are not willing to come to another chamber of commerce to restrain their Xia clan.
Xia Hongji thought about it carefully for a while, making sure that the patriarch did not mention this matter to him.
Xia Shoufu is an important minister in the court, if the court is really ready to set up a chamber of commerce, then there is no reason why Lord Shoufu will not know!
Xia Hongji glanced at Gu Chengyu meaningfully, could it be that this person made a moth by himself, in order to suppress the rice industry that hoarded rice grain?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Hongji felt that this was very likely.
"The grass people dared to ask Lord Gu, when did the imperial court say that it would establish a chamber of commerce? Lord Shoufu often sent letters to Yingnanfu, but he never mentioned it in his letters. I don't know what the hell is going on......"
When Xia Hongji said the back, he swallowed and vomited.
But his meaning is already very clear, doesn't it mean that Gu Chengyu is fooling them?
Everyone present turned their eyes to Gu Chengyu, with obvious suspicion in their eyes.
Gu Chengyu was not flustered in his heart, he smiled, and then said: "Because this matter was proposed by this official, it is still only a prototype, and it must be improved slowly." So it hasn't been said yet, but it's been eight or nine years old. ”
Hu Maoshen used the action of drinking tea to cover up the doubts in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Chengyu so calm and relaxed, Hu Maoshen couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that what Gu Chengyu said was true?
But they hadn't heard the wind before, which was a bit unusual!
"I'm afraid you don't have a clue about the Chamber of Commerce at this time, so the official will explain it in detail here. The Chamber of Commerce, as the name suggests, is a group formed between merchants. So what are the benefits of setting up a chamber of commerce? Then there are many benefits. ”
Gu Chengyu got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and then talked eloquently about the plan that had just taken shape in his heart.
"As long as the Chamber of Commerce is established, everyone here can apply to join and become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, which is called membership. First, the more businessmen who join the Chamber of Commerce, the more people who choose to cooperate. They are all members, binding, and they are not afraid of being deceived again. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, expressing their approval. They used to go south and north to do business, and they were indeed prone to encounter scammers.
There are not a few people who have been deceived and lost their families. After those scammers defrauded the money, they immediately disappeared without a trace, and the deceived person was turned upside down, and it was difficult to find the person.
In the end, you can only take advantage of the excitement and return with defeat. If you want to make a comeback in the future, how easy is it?
As long as it is a businessman, no one can pat his chest and say that he has never been deceived. Even if you are not a liar, you have been calculated and have suffered a lot of dumb losses.
Gu Chengyu saw that everyone nodded like garlic, and knew that this was talking to their hearts.
He stretched out two fingers and continued: "Second, there are more members of the Chamber of Commerce, and others have important information that you don't know. ”
Everyone in the room nodded again, indeed! Don't look at them as just businessmen, but businessmen should also understand the current politics and the movements of officials.
For example, the officials who took refuge in themselves were demoted, or committed a major crime and exterminated their families. But those big officials are far away in the capital, so they naturally can't receive the news as soon as possible, and at this time, it depends on whether they have a wide range of friends.
If someone who knows each other receives the news, tell them immediately, saying that they will not be able to avoid a disaster once, and prepare early.
Xia Hongji glanced at Gu Chengyu deeply, and had to say that he really couldn't refute these two points.
"Third, a single tree does not make a forest, and cooperation is a long-term solution. You join hands and complement each other, use the strong to lead the weak, help each other and benefit each other, and everyone has benefited. If there is a difficulty, such as the sudden inability to turn over the money, you can also borrow it like other members of the chamber of commerce, and they dare not not pay it back due to the constraints of the chamber of commerce and the imperial court. ”
Master Sun was so excited that he was often troubled by the lack of money. Every time he borrowed from a friend, the friend didn't charge extra money, which made him feel very unhappy.
In addition, sometimes he wants to borrow more, but there is no way.
If he really became a member of the Chamber of Commerce, then it would be easier for him to borrow money, as long as he paid interest, someone would always lend it to him. As for the matter of repaying the silver, he believed that since the imperial court had planned to set up a chamber of commerce, it would inevitably be a mistake.
"Fourth, our court has a newspaper, and the Chamber of Commerce can also issue a newspaper. Needless to say, the benefits of Di Bao are not too much, right? I'm sure all of you here know what to expect. ”
The imperial court's newspaper was similar to the newspaper of the previous life, and this newspaper only talked about current political events. If the Chamber of Commerce runs a newspaper, it is about business information, which is equivalent to the financial newspaper of the previous life.
Even Hu Maoshen pulled his beard in surprise when he heard this.
If this chamber of commerce starts to be implemented, it will be a big reform. The Dayan Dynasty will surely bring prosperity in a short period of time.
This young man is really amazing, he is simply too bewitching. Hu Mao looked at Gu Chengyu with eyes full of appreciation, why did this peasant family give birth to such a demonic son of heaven? It's incredible.
"Of course, this newspaper must be issued by the imperial court, and this official will ask the emperor to implement this matter as soon as possible, and try to be as detailed as possible. That's the benefit of setting up a chamber of commerce, do you think it's okay? ”
Gu Chengyu turned around and sat down, he thought that these businessmen would definitely be moved. In fact, he really didn't discuss this matter with the emperor, because this was the association he triggered after he came to Jiangnan and saw the price of rice and grain.
