Hongmen Feast!

This must be a feast for the Hung Gate!

Xiang Yu's Hongmen banquet is a woman of wine and meat, and this merchant's Hongmen banquet is naturally silver!

When the ironware merchants saw so much silver, not only did they not have the slightest surprise, but they looked at Guo Dan with anxiety.

Dogs, at what cost?

Guo Dan's gaze swept over their faces and bowed: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. ”

A Shanxi businessman named Qin Dalong asked, "Captain Guo, where did you start with this?" ”

Guo Dan sighed: "Regarding the notice I posted before, I think you should also know about it. ”

Qin Dalong hurriedly said, "Regarding this matter, we ----! ”

Guo Dan raised his hand and interrupted him, "I understand this, I have already inquired, and I also know that you have difficulties, it is that I did not investigate clearly in advance and did not think about it well, I am very sorry for this, you also know that I have always followed your wishes in trading, so I plan to open an iron workshop and produce it myself." ”

Since you've already decided to do it yourself, why are you still coming to us, and what's the matter with this contract money?

Everyone knows that this is certainly not that simple.

Qin Dalong smiled and said: "Captain Guo is really too outward, how can he apologize for this little thing." ”

"Oh, that's just one of them."

Guo Dan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Everyone should know that my Guo Dan's trading in Weihui Mansion is very small, and some of the transactions involved are mostly shares, and they all account for a small number of shares.

A very important reason why I did this is because I am afraid that I will rob everyone of the business at that time, not that I am boasting, with my current status and financial resources, it is difficult for you to compete with me, especially when it comes to mineral resources, because these resources are already in my hands. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "So, if I want to open an ironsmith workshop, your business may be greatly affected. ”

The blacksmiths couldn't help but look at each other.

An ironsmith named Zhou Jian asked, "Aren't you only producing birds?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course, the bird gun is the main thing, but as my scale grows, of course, I will also be involved in other related iron production, which is not opened, I can't have money not to make it." ”

Qin Dalong immediately said angrily: "You are clearly threatening us. ”

"No, no, no!"

Guo Dan waved his hand again and again, and said: "I have no intention of doing this, since I know your hardships, then even if you want to take it now, I will not agree, because this bird order, for me, is not to be lost, I originally wanted to find a businessman who is very enthusiastic about this to cooperate, but obviously impossible, I have decided to do it myself."

But it is my honor to be here, and I also hope that more businessmen will come to Weihui Mansion, I am just afraid, if I don't explain this matter clearly today, in case my ironsmith workshop affects you in the future, this will not be good for the reputation of Weihui Mansion. ”

"That's your solution?"

A merchant took the two contracts and slammed them on the table, and there was a crack.

They are not afraid of Guo Dan's means, you can win me in trading, that is your ability, there is nothing to say, the key is that Guo Dan controls mineral resources, which is really impossible to fight with Guo Dan.

Of course, the ironsmiths were very angry.

"These are the two solutions that I offer you."

Guo Danwu kept a smile and patiently explained: "The first way is that you sell your workshop to me, the price is easy to say, and I promise that you will not lose money." The second option is for us to merge together and form a large ironsmith workshop. ”

Qin Dalong snorted, "What if we don't agree? ”

These two methods, they are not very willing, their business in Weihui Mansion has just stabilized, and they are preparing to show their talents, in this case, how can they be willing to sell the workshop, or merge with Guo Dan.

Guo smiled and groaned: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, I have already said that these two contracts are actually out of my guilt, I am afraid that if I rob your business in the future, you will complain about me, if you don't mind, then it doesn't matter." ”

The faces of the blacksmiths were full of unwillingness, anger, and depression.

They really don't have the confidence to fight against Guo Dan, if Guo Dan doesn't just produce bird guns, it will definitely affect their trading, because many orders are brought to them by Guo Dan, and they are still making Guo Dan's money.

It means that the raw materials and channels are in Guo Dan's hands, how can this fight with him.

But you can't blame him for that, you can't stop him from doing it, how is that possible?

They don't want to say yes, but they don't know what to say.

Guo Dan waited for a while, and when he saw that they were silent, he suddenly stood up, walked to the side, and said with a smile: "Everyone, there is a way, Sai Weng lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing." Maybe merging isn't a bad thing for any of us.

I carefully investigated their business and found a very key problem, that is, there are many orders, not a single one, but a number of people together, and the reason is that your production scale is very limited, unlike the textile workshop, one workshop can take many orders. ”

Speaking of this, he came to Qin Dalong's side, leaned forward slightly, supported his hands on the table, swept his gaze, and said with a smile: "In this case, why don't we merge into one big workshop, this will inevitably make our business and selling to a higher level."

Just like the Qinjia Textile Workshop, many customers in Jiangnan and Beijing, they find the Qinjia Textile Workshop, is it because they are doing very well? No, it's because they have a very large scale, strong strength, and a mature production system, and it's very trouble-free to find the Qin family to do it, and they are not afraid of the other party running away, everyone can rest assured.

Therefore, the Qin family is getting bigger and bigger, and other textile workshops can't compete with the Qin family at all, they can only make some more distinctive textiles. If we merge to form the largest ironware workshop in Daming, plus the supply of coal and iron from Weihui, Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing, we have enough strength to produce any metal utensils, including the fire consumption and smelting of gold, silver and copper, we can do it, our business will be more and more extensive, and the money we make will be multiplied. ”

After this remark, the unwillingness, anger, and depression on the faces of the ironsmiths gradually disappeared, and they were replaced by excitement and longing, Guo Dan's words were really tempting.

Qin Dalong let out a grunt in his throat and asked, "That... So this merger is... What kind of merger is it? ”

"Of course, it's the joint-stock system."

Guo smiled lightly: "I guess you also know this very well, I don't have an iron workshop, but I will invest in shares with money, you don't need to pay, you only need to use your own iron workshop to buy shares, as for the shares, in proportion, I have written the algorithm in the contract."

As for who will manage, it will be recommended by everyone, everyone is a peer, who has a big ability, who has a small ability, who is good at what, everyone should know the roots, this crowd picks up firewood and the flame is high, after we merge, we can gather all our strength, all wisdom, and at the same time I will bring more orders for everyone, I can't think of any reason to fail. ”

Zhou Jian said: "Does this also include the order of the bird?" ”

"Of course."

Guo Dan nodded: "We are businessmen, there is no reason not to make money, there is naturally a risk to make money, which is understandable." As for your concerns, I also understand very well, then I will personally set up a firearms research and development workshop, you don't need to worry about technical problems, and you don't need to be responsible for the consequences, you are only responsible for doing it according to the drawings and requirements of research and development, do not do it, you can negotiate it in advance, if you can't take it, then don't take it, since you have taken it, you must do it according to the contract, as long as it is done according to the contract, even if something happens, you don't have to be responsible. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "In addition, this matter also reminds me that in terms of commercial accountability, our Weihui Mansion's system is still somewhat deficient, and on this point, I will discuss with the court to revise a more explicit bill to avoid implicating innocent people." ”

The blacksmiths made eye contact with each other, and then opened the merger contract in unison.

They mainly look at how to incorporate.

It's in their vital interest.

The contract is very clear, there are two main factors, the number of business, the number of craftsmen, all these are converted into money, and then Guo Dan pays to ensure that he can account for 30% of the ironsmith workshop.

The decision-making power, in the board of directors, is calculated based on the shares held by everyone.

It's not Guo Dan who has the final say, he doesn't own more than fifty percent of the shares, and if they all oppose it, they won't be able to do it.

It is full of sincerity.

After reading it, nearly half of the iron merchants immediately expressed their support for this merger plan.

When Qin Dalong looked at them, he found that these businessmen were all small-scale, and he couldn't help but curse these profiteers.

If it is with capital as shares, those small ironsmiths will not have much shares, because they will not be able to come up with any money, but if they are mainly businessmen and craftsmen to occupy shares, then their share will never suffer a loss, and there will not be much difference in this aspect, which is also very fair for them, and they even have to make money.

In addition, they think that it is very difficult for them to compete with those big workshops, so they feel that this is an opportunity, to take a big boat, if they can really get several times more profits, then they will make a lot of money, if they go to fight by themselves, it will be very difficult, and then they can make money from here, and they can also do other transactions.

Although they were all small iron dealers, they were the same as Qin Dalong, and they all showed their support, which meant that the iron dealers began to split within themselves.

This makes it even more impossible to deal with Guo Dan.

Qin Dalong and Zhou Jian can only say that this is very worth considering, but they have to think about it carefully, after all, this matter is not a trivial matter.

Guo Dan readily agreed.

Originally, Guo Dan's concept was to let a hundred flowers bloom, that is, try not to monopolize it, give everyone a chance, and everyone will come to Weihui Mansion to do business, but he didn't even have a monopoly on the money bank, and he still gave those Jin merchants a way to live.

But after this happened, he felt that there was really no way to bloom in steel.

Because the manufacture of ironware is very expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is not the same thing as a textile workshop.

And today's iron workshops don't have much money, the scale is just like that, they can only make agricultural tools and the like, and then the high-end, they are very hard, no money, this technology can not be developed, if you still insist on a hundred flowers blooming, it will become forever budding.

This matter should have been led by the imperial court, but the embarrassing thing is that the imperial court is not as good as the people.

So Guo Dan changed his mind and committed to merging the entire iron industry in Weihui Mansion, and in the future, it will include the other three mansions, and concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated to develop the steel industry.

If he works alone, not to mention whether he can do it well, the development is too slow, and the key is that he does not have too many skilled craftsmen in his hands, then integrating the assets of the ironsmith is undoubtedly the best solution.

Of course, Guo Dan can't put money into it, he doesn't have so much money to serve the country and the people, this is actually based on the entire overseas plan, the overseas plan is to need a lot of firearms, and at the same time will bring a lot of currency, which will also involve the manufacture of gold and silver currency, there will never be a shortage of orders, and these businesses will provide them with a lot of financial support.
