Chapter 677: Guild Hall and Clubhouse
Su Mo was really dumbfounded. He never imagined that it was just a guild hall, and it could have something to do with the rebellion of the vassal king behind it.
And the fundamental reason why he considered building a guild hall was also for the promise he made when he was in the Mongolian royal court that day: sheep eat people.
But if you want to reach the level of sheep eating people, you must reach a certain scale in the wool textile industry. Otherwise, if you only rely on a small group of ten or twenty people, it is simply a fool's dream.
To put it a little bigger, what Su Mo wants to promote is actually the process of industrialization. Only by achieving the scale of industrialization in the later Republic of China period can he realize what he called sheep eating people.
That is to say, a chain of interests must be formed around the wool, whether it is an upstream or downstream process, it must have a certain scale, and then form a complete closure.
And to achieve this, the first thing is to have a sufficient number of stakeholders involved. Then there is the production environment to be matched, which can be divided into two parts. One is the market atmosphere, and having a guild hall will obviously play a great role in promoting this atmosphere;
The second is the necessary tool for production. That is, wool looms. A wool loom is not the same thing as an ordinary loom, and there is a world of difference in many details.
In his later life, Su Mo was just a teacher who taught art, not a science student of physical chemistry, so how did he know that? Only through the Internet did he know some relevant general knowledge, but if he really wanted to concretize it, he had to go through more craftsmen's continuous experiments before it could be made.
And in this process, the only thing he Su Mo can do is to mention something. Given a general framework and principles, Su Mo believed that it was possible to do this with the wisdom of the ancients. But there is a premise, that is, it must be able to gather enough craftsmen, and it must be a little level.
But he is a white body, and of course it is okay to recruit a few craftsmen of this kind and that, but if he recruits craftsmen in large quantities, not to mention whether he can recruit them, I am afraid that this movement alone will be eye-catching. Once he is targeted, does he want to do anything else?
Obviously, if an industrial association can be opened, the above problems can be easily solved. Moreover, in addition to the above two problems, there is a deeper meaning to the fact that he wants to build such a guild hall. That's gathering momentum!
After coming to Daming for so long and experiencing several difficulties, Su Mo has clearly realized the shallowness of his foundation. Whether he wants to be a leisurely rich man or control a corner to protect himself, he needs to have a lot of connections.
Otherwise, he will be alone, single-handedly, even if he can gather wealth, he will not be able to keep it. The greedy gazes around him would definitely tear him to shreds, leaving not even a single bone residue left.
But now, after Zhang Yue's words, he knew that this plan was stillborn. Not at least in the short term.
"And what's going on with these guild halls that exist now, and if it's so difficult, why are they still open?" Su Mo asked with some reluctance.
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly: "My brother Di, why haven't you understood it yet? Now these guild halls are either the kind of people who don't have a climate at all, at most they are just the appearance of a poetry club, or they are tied to extremely deep connections and backgrounds behind them. And the latter kind of precipitation has gone through decades of precipitation, so people dare not move easily. Like my brother, I want to build a new one, but it's not so easy. ”
Zhang Yue patiently explained, there was actually a reason in his heart that he hadn't said. If someone else might do one, just do one, as long as you quietly enter the village, don't shoot a gun, maybe it's still possible when no one is paying attention.
But you Su Mo, I'll drop for a day, and you never stop. Not to mention that you still have to engage in this kind of action in the capital, the best place, just if you go to that station, it will attract countless eyes staring at you. In this case, you still want to live in peace? How is it possible?
Su Mo gritted his teeth and wrinkled his brows in thought. Your sister, such a good plan, can't be carried out, which makes him extremely unwilling, and his heart is like a hundred claws.
"Okay, since the guild hall is not good, then Lao Tzu will open a club! Lao Tzu will not be able to open a club, right?"
The clubhouse and the clubhouse are only one word, but they are two completely different things. If the guild hall is a highly targeted special location, then the club is just a more socialized entertainment venue.
"Clubhouse?" Zhang Yue was a little stunned, he really didn't understand this term. Unlike the clubhouse, the clubhouse is a foreign product. It originated in Europe and flourished in modern times, but there was absolutely no time and space in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
However, if you diverge from it, in fact, the club also had a prototype as early as the Song Dynasty. For example, those gardens and gardens are the first form of clubhouses. It's just that compared with the real club, its function seems to be very thin, and the original purpose is also very simple. But the secrecy alone is even more so.
Most of these gardens were built in the name of a famous prostitute, in order to increase the value of the famous prostitute, and all the purpose was to revolve around the benefits attracted by it. And the more important interpersonal situations are just inadvertent by-products. This is far from the function of the club.
Su Mo told Zhang Yue the whole train of thought carefully, and Zhang Yue was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
What kind of brain does this brother have? He can even think of this form. Needless to say, this so-called club is much taller than those green buildings where famous prostitutes sit. If you really get it out, you will properly press those famous brothels and Qinglou to the end.
But.......
Zhang Yue was shocked and began to burse his teeth again. Nima, although this clubhouse sounds lofty, it is too easy for people to confuse it with a brothel in a green house. You, a niece and young master of a dignified British government, actually went to open a brothel, this ....... this........
Well, Zhang Yue thinks that his own boss is completely a rhythm without limits. It's really going to come out, yes, the risk of opening a conference hall is gone, but the crime of "dissolute and insulting" is appropriate. In that case, don't let the imperial historians impeach them into a sieve.
Even if those royal historians are willing to let it go, this matter is not good on the face of the British duke. A great Ming lord went to open a kiln, I went, this is really good to say.
"Brother, this ...... This ......." Zhang Yue's constipation on his face, this tangled.
Su Mo smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, do you think it will give people a misunderstanding and have a bad reputation?"
Zhang Yue looked at him with a wry smile, isn't this quite understandable?
Su Mo rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans." I'm just asking you, aside from that, I don't have any mess with a club. ”
Zhang Yue sighed secretly, and had to nod helplessly. But I secretly complained in my heart, this Nima is not as good as you opening a hall, anyway, it is also a good business, how can it be much better than you going to open a kiln.
It's just that it's not easy to say, after all, Su Mo explained it very clearly just now, and he also understands that this so-called club is indeed not the same thing as a brothel. But the problem is that it's useless for him to understand, he has to let everyone else understand. But you can't just explain to people that my club is a high-level place for networking and communication, and it is definitely not a brothel and a green building...... I'll go, what's the difference between that and three hundred taels of silver here?
Su Mo didn't care what he thought in his heart, as long as he didn't get into those troubles. If the guild hall can't be opened for a while, then build the clubhouse first, and in the end, everything will eventually be implemented by people. Then divide it into two steps, first gather the network and then talk about it.
As for his reputation, Mr. Su is not ready to enter the ranks, so that reputation is useless? Not to mention, after experiencing this incident of the Mongolian envoy, his reputation as a minister has already been confirmed, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
If you can rely on this club to gather and accumulate enough contacts, then there will be countless fans to help you make a name for yourself in the future. Not to mention, through the operation of this club, you can also gather huge wealth very quickly.
Zhang Yue has no concept yet, and he doesn't know how valuable a club is. Su Mo couldn't understand it too well, Nima, those high-end clubs in later generations, any card will cost tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and even millions.
And through this convergence of contacts, the extension of various cooperation, will bring greater benefits, which is not comparable to the consumption of a small club. It will be a huge platform, with a platform that will extend more tentacles into various fields and add countless opportunities!
Done!
Su Mo clenched his fists fiercely, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. Since it was decided, he began to pull Sun Sihai to arrange it immediately.
Clubhouses and guild halls are very different, and the building functions naturally required are also very different. This garden alone will certainly not be built into a clubhouse like the one in the future. Instead, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and prefer the garden-style style of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Among the countless treasures of China, the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are definitely at the forefront, which makes countless people breathtaking. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Jiangnan garden has reached a peak, in which the beautiful scenery, the wonderful concept, until the future generations for thousands of years have been amazed by the world.
And Su Mo is at such a time of time, if he can take advantage of this to get out of the famous gardens in the future, maybe he can also mix up the name of the founder of the garden world. At that time, this name alone will also be worth the notorious name of opening a kiln.
Who can say that a person who has a good mind and can design such an elegant pattern will be a lowly person who opens a kiln? Not to mention, the name that Zhang Yue is worried about may not really fall on his head Su Mo.
Mr. Su already has a belly case. Of course, professional things must be done by professional people, so that he will not rush to the forefront stupidly.
Mr. Su's purpose has always been: Sugarcoat is peeled off and eaten by yourself, but the cannonball is not sensitive, and giving it to others is the king.
