Chapter 244: Jimin Grain Shop (I)
(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT ) "Uncle, nearly 50 million transactions, you have given it in a few words, I have opened my eyes this time!"
got the news, and hurriedly rushed back from the Yingkou commercial port in the three eastern provinces, the eldest nephew Li Chengyou, the first thing he said when he met was this, Li Dacheng gave him a roll of his eyes angrily, what is this?
"Since you mentioned it, let's talk about this shipment! How did you go ashore on the first line of Yingkou, Niuzhuang, and Luda, do you have a number? ”
The goods have been bought, but it is not necessarily yours, Ryan has brought too much military funds, and if it is not good, it will cause waves in the three eastern provinces, how to unload the goods, the problem inside is not small, XT. 》し
"Uncle, you haven't figured it out what you asked me to think about last time! I really don't have an idea about this! ”
"Then you have to think slowly, do it for a lifetime, think about it for a lifetime!
The unloaded goods this time asked Taikoo Shipping to help, and Lao Maozi ran away, and the inland rivers in the area of Yingkou Luda were ......
Let's go to the inland river in the Yingkou area! Luda, a little far away, use river boats, quietly unload these goods, how to unload, how to store, listen to the British!
During this time, you also prepare a batch of goods to be sent to the three eastern provinces, let the ships be mixed together to unload, and tell the Zhenwei army over there that if the news is leaked, Lao Tzu will kill the chief officer first!
Is there any news from Dahan? ”
This time, the military funds sent by the British entered the three eastern provinces, and Li Dacheng had nothing to plan here, so he would save them first, and then talk about it, the ordnance that had been transported before was almost enough, and this period of time was mainly for military training, and firearms like Martini were enough.
"Uncle Da Han has returned to Beijing."
"Hmmm! Send a telegram and let him go to Yingkou! Hurry up!
When he arrives, let him send a telegram!
During this time, there are a lot of goods accumulated in Jiaozhou Mansion, and you have a lot of shopkeepers on board, right? Go down today and discuss with them, and tomorrow give me a plan. ”
No matter how much someone else gives, it's someone else's. This time with the British, in terms of money, the British took advantage, but the real advantage is still the Zhenwei army, if there is no support from the British, more than 300 guns, where to buy?
This deal was more of a handout than a bargain, and the British were on top, and for their benefit, they gave a large amount of military money to the Zhenwei army.
Once in the future the British stopped planting alms. Bullets, shells, repairs of damaged guns, don't know who to go to? Looking for Tianjin Machinery Bureau or Lao Yuan's newly built Texas Machinery Bureau? Where is it not where you have the final say, how can there be so much convenience?
The three eastern provinces are not about to fight a battle. But a war involving the survival of the country, hundreds of thousands of guns, hundreds of artillery, is far from enough, as the Zhenwei army deepens step by step, the demand for ordnance will increase. There is no own repair factory. The victory or defeat of the war is in the hands of someone else!
War is only a means. Why war? Li Dacheng can now be said to be for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the people, can war make the country rich and the people strong? Strong-people may have some effect. However, war and rich countries are not compatible, and endless wars will only consume national strength. If you want a rich country, you can only develop!
What to develop? For the sake of war, develop industry! How can we develop industry? Population, talent, land, resources, technology, when it comes to these, you can't get around the word economy, what is the economy, the economy is to do business!
Now Jiaozhou Mansion has a big deal to do, hundreds of thousands of tons of goods hoarded in the freight yard, is this big deal, from the beginning of the sale to their own manufacturing, some roads need to go step by step, some markets need to expand step by step, but before that, Li Dacheng has to have his own network.
Now the forces under his command, the Plague Hall is a net, and the Zhenwei Army is also a net, except for these two nets, there is no other network.
Let Li Cheng ask for advice, Li Dacheng is planning such a network, a big network that can cover the entire economic field.
After one night, Li Chengyou took more than a dozen of his shopkeepers, as well as Li Dacheng's account Wang Maozhai, to the old wharf yard, looking at the old shopkeepers in their forties and fifties in addition to Li Chengyou and Wang Maozhai, Li Dacheng was a little discouraged and lacked people!
"It's all here, let's talk about it, what do you think?"
After everyone sat down, Li Dacheng was not polite and asked questions directly.
"Second master, now the goods accumulated in Jiaozhou Mansion are mainly grain, and we are going to open grain stacks, salt stacks, and warehouses!
Jiaozhou Mansion radiates Ludong, Lubei, Luxi, Luzhong, there is no salt control in Shandong, we opened a grain store, not only can sell money but also exchange for salt, Henan Shaanxi and even Mongolia further north, are short of salt, I heard that the canal is going to be repaired, with Shandong's low-cost salt, we can communicate with the northern goods! ”
A shopkeeper who looked the oldest, with a southern accent, said the idea of the store, which was very common in the Qing Dynasty, and most people made a fortune and did the same, whether it was selling grain, salt, or daily groceries, it was a warehouse.
"Second master, the cost of transporting grain by land is not small, we have too much grain, relying on the grain warehouse in Shandong alone, it is not enough to sell a large amount of grain, the grain is not durable to hide, if we want to sell these grains as soon as possible, the sea route is a shortcut!
It is said that the southern grain is transported to the north, but the northern grain cannot be transported to the south? Our current grain is mainly wheat, corn, sorghum, and beans, and the southerners eat rice instead of noodles, and the price of rice and wheat is about the same, and wheat can only be sold in the north, but the price of corn and sorghum is low, so can the southerners still eat it?
Exchange grain for southern goods, and then sell southern goods through Jiaozhou Mansion, this business is done! ”
This person's words also make sense, the method of using cheap grain to open up sales channels is also good, the trading of the Qing Dynasty is mainly a southern goods sold in the north, and northern goods sold in the south, and this person's plan is a little bigger than the first one.
"Hmmm! That's right, sixth, you are now in charge of the overall situation, what do you think? ”
The south sells the goods in the north and the north sells the goods in the south, this matter is not only clear to the people here, but also many people know that if you continue to talk like this, it can only be more and more nonsense, with two bricks and bricks, Li Dacheng doesn't want to listen to the same things anymore, so he directly threw the conversation to his eldest nephew Li Chengyou.
"Second master, I thought it should be mainly Shandong, the northern provinces, Shandong is the most short of food.
When the canal was busy, Shandong gathered grain from seven provinces in the north and south, and the grain gap was naturally not large. But now that the canal needs to be repaired, and the entire canal is repaired and navigable, I'm afraid it will take three or two years, right?
This boxing rebellion is precisely because of the shortage of food in Shandong, and the grain accumulated in Jiaozhou Mansion is more than 10 million stones, is it too much? In terms of Shandong's population, it's not much!
In Shandong Province, there are more than 33 million registered people, and one stone of grain a year for one person is not enough. How much food do more than 33 million people need in a year? At least 33 million stones, the grain accumulated in Jiaozhou Mansion is probably less than 33 million stones, right?
I thought. At this time, the grain accumulated in Jiaozhou Mansion will be transported to the provincial capitals of Shandong by manpower, and the old grain will be exchanged for new grain. ”
The eldest nephew Li Cheng has this statement. It's quite in line with Li Dacheng's wishes. This method is good, with the grain of Jiaozhou Mansion as the foundation. Shandong's grain market will be able to operate, exchanging old grain for new grain. In one year, it will be able to dominate the Shandong grain market.
"Hmmm! That's good! What else do you have to say? ”
Although the method is good, it is not enough for Li Dacheng. Not careful enough! Glancing at the people in the hall, seeing that some people wanted to speak, Li Dacheng held back his things and listened to other people's opinions, which is not a bad thing.
"Second master, the sixth master's statement is good, but we are merchants, and merchants have to go in and out quickly to return to their roots, the sixth master's method is a little slow, but manpower grain transportation is the biggest flaw!
Manpower to transport grain, the farther the distance, the greater the cost, from Jiaozhou Mansion to Luzhong Luxi, thousands of miles away, the cost is incalculable, do grain trading, but also rely on money, the method of feeding grain with grain, although feasible, but this large amount of grain in our hands, there is nothing to gain. ”
From the perspective of a businessman, this is extremely correct, but what Li Dacheng wants is the entire grain market in Shandong, and it doesn't matter if he loses something.
"Not bad! We are businessmen, and we still have to focus on profits, but we can't forget our roots!
Who are the parents of our merchants? Commoners!
Shandong will definitely have a large shortage of grain in recent years, once there is a shortage of grain, there will inevitably be a famine, the famine is too great, this Shandong will be unstable, Shandong is unstable, we will have no money to make......
Lao Liu's method, although he didn't make much money in the early days, could stabilize the grain market in Shandong, and the trading of 33 million people in Shandong was bigger than the grain market!
Nowadays, the cost of manpower to transport grain is a big pass, let's talk about it, how to get through this pass! ”
Li Cheng's way is good, but it is natural to make money in trading, and how to reduce consumption and earn more profits has become a problem.
"Second master, the goods in our hands are not only grain, cotton cloth and cotton yarn, which are sold in Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi.
There is little rain in winter and spring, and the grain on the freight yard can be stored for two or three months, and we are building warehouses while exchanging other goods for donkeys, mules, cattle, horses, and camels from Zhili, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, and build a cart in Jiaozhou Mansion, and so on There are more large livestock, and then it is not too late to start transshipment of grain.
During this period, we can also use the grain in our hands to repair the road, the trade route is the most critical for our business, the road in Shandong is good, and it is convenient for us to transfer goods!
Grain to build roads, but also to talk to the Shandong government about the proportion of gold, we pay grain for Shandong to build roads, this period of time, should not be charged. ”
This statement is clever, looking at the person who spoke, who is in his forties, very strong, Li Dacheng nodded, talent!
"What's it called? What are you doing now? ”
"Back to the second master, my name is Gao Dangui, and I follow the sixth master to take care of the affairs of the plague hall!"
"Oh...... You will be the big shopkeeper of this Shandong grain store in the future!
Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to say? ”
In a word, Gao Dangui made the big shopkeeper of the grain stack, and the shopkeepers below also showed hope on their faces, which is the brick throwing jade.
"Second master, we will run a grain store, it is bound to conflict with the landlords in Shandong, I think that our grain store, like the warehouse in the plague hall, will be done with the local landlords."
To make grain, it is indispensable to deal with the big landlords, a big source of wealth for the big landlords, is to sell grain at a high price when the green and yellow are not in demand, although this statement is not bad, but ignore this main contradiction, there is this contradiction, Li Dacheng's grain stack is difficult to go all the way with the big landlords.
"That's not right!
The grain stack in the mouth of the second master is different from other grain stacks, we want to occupy the grain market in Shandong, and the big landlords also rely on the grain market to make a fortune, so we can't go all the way with them.
After opening the grain stack, we must suppress the local landlords, we have a lot of grain in our hands, we can make a way for them to hoard grain, and then we sell grain at a low price, and after losing their wealth, we will merge their land. ”
The person who spoke was a ruthless character, and he had a bit of a taste of swords, guns, swords, and halberds when he opened his mouth, this person was in line with Li Dacheng's mind, and it was not bad to suppress the landlords.
"Hmmm! That's right, that's the way it is, you come to be Gao Dangui's deputy. ”
After another seat was promised, the people below were still enthusiastic, the problem had almost been solved, and then it was time to talk about the scale.
"Second master, we suppressed the local landlords, which will cause disputes, in order to calm the disputes, I thought that the shopkeeper of the grain store below should choose people locally, with the assistance of the locals, our affairs will be easy to do."
This statement is not bad, Li Dacheng gave this to Gao Dangui as his deputy, and Li Dacheng arranged three positions for a few words, Li Cheng's face over there is not very good-looking, these are all capable people under him, this is good, they were all poached by Uncle Dacheng, and there is no one available on his side.
