Chapter 134: Business Initiation
Most of the design of the small Chang'an palace city imitated the construction of Chang'an Weiyang Palace, and added a lot of new elements. Strict, heavily guarded, the design team invited many domestic masters of Chinese culture to participate in the design, but now only half of the construction has to be stopped due to lack of financial resources.
Now only a small part of it has been put into use, and the high-level administrative team of the Baath Party in Nanyang is also working here, which has become the administrative center of Nanyang today, you can see the busy staff, and Weiyang Palace is different in that there is no kneeling here, and everyone has seats for deliberations, but seeing the scale of the building is enough to see the ambition of the Nanyang Chinese.
Chen Xuan had already read the information of Nanyang when he was in Crescent Village, and knew the general situation of the Baath Party and the Nanyang Group, so he did not feel uncomfortable participating in this meeting, and Ye Zhongyu was the first to report on the work.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after three years of development, we now have five cities under our full control, namely Phoenix City, Blue Lake City, Xueyuan City, Chang'an City and the newly built heavy industry city Chaoyang City, with more than 4.8 million people in the entire urban area, nearly 4 million Chinese, and 800,000-900,000 local natives."
"There are more than 30 mines of all kinds, gold, silver, copper and iron and various non-metallic mineral deposits, and there are 16 officially developed ones, most of which are in Chaoyang City, and more than 360 farms and plantations of various kinds, not only in the Chang'an area, but all over Java, and now they are in a normal state of development, and the main body is also Chinese."
"Between the five cities and the realization of highway interconnection, as for the railway is also under construction, it is expected that the railway from Chaoyang City to Phoenix City will be completely opened to traffic at the end of the year, the pressure on the railway company is very great, I believe that with the addition of Tang Shou Qiangong, the construction speed will be more rapid."
"In terms of political participation, it mainly comes from commercial taxes and the mining and minting of gold, silver and copper mines, totaling 20 million phoenix coins per month, but because of the investment of the army, normal administrative expenses, infrastructure construction, large investment in supporting domestic and industrial production, and receiving 3-50,000 domestic immigrants every month, so now the Chang'an regime's finances have been in a state of deficit, and it has borrowed a large amount of money from various banks in Nanyang, so the pressure is extremely great!"
"In terms of industry, Nanyang can produce 350,000 tons of pig iron and 130,000 tons of steel annually, which is now enough for our own use, and can even reinforce other places, Nanyang Automobile is the purchase of Hongyuan Automobile technology, the monthly production capacity can reach 300 vehicles, the locomotive is also our railway company with reference to German technology research and development, the shipyard has 32 docks, can produce 10,000 tons of docks 3, now are in production and sales."
"The above is the general situation of the entire Chang'an area, now the development of the Chang'an area has greatly aroused the vigilance of the Dutch, so we are now taking land to build factories and plantations is not as easy as before, with the help of Han Lao (Huang Zhonghan) relationship, we have won a lot of land in Malaysia, so our next domestic immigration will be sent there."
"We can divide a set of experienced administrative teams, led by Bai Xunjian, but we also need people with rich administrative experience to go over, here I want to recommend Cheng Dequan Gong to go over, but everything over there is a grass creation, I don't know if Cheng Gong is willing to help with this?"
Chen Xuan remembered that when he recommended Cheng Dequan to be the lord of Xueyuan City, Ye Zhongyu strongly objected, it turned out that there were already other arrangements, and the Malay side and the Javanese side are very different, the British are different from the Dutch, and the current empire where the sun never sets is not easy to mess with, and it is urgent to need a veteran of officialdom and a person who is familiar with the operation process of Nanyang, and Bai Xunjian and Cheng Dequan are the best candidates.
"Ha, I have been an official of the Qing court for decades, and now I have something to do, so I naturally can't ask for it, seeing that you young people have made such achievements in just a few years, the old man is naturally envious, and he also wants to 'talk about juvenile madness' once, I will respond to this matter, let the world also see that I can not only be an official, but also do things not badly, I really can't ask for it!"
Cheng De stroked his white beard with all his hands and said with a laugh.
"Cheng Lao is naturally a good thing in the past, with Cheng Lao at the helm, everything will naturally rest assured, but Cheng Lao is already high, I'm afraid there is something wrong!"
Chen Xuan said worriedly.
"Yiyang and relieved, although the old man is nearly 60, he is also well-fed, and now that he has this opportunity, he will never miss it!"
"In this way, there will be Lao Cheng Gong, and the affairs of Malay will be mainly Cheng Gong, supplemented by Xun Jian and Han Lao, and I will ask Han Lao to take care of Cheng Gong properly, Chen Xuan has thanked him here! At the same time, I will also send a platoon of personal guards to be responsible for Cheng Gong's safety! β
The second half of Chen Xuan's sentence is addressed to Huang Zhonghan, who also joined the Baath Party in the past three years.
"Yiyang rest assured, Brother Chunru (Cheng Dequanzi) is here to gain living space for my Malay Chinese, Yiyang doesn't say it, the old man will do his best not to hurt Brother Chunru!"
Mr. Wong patted his chest and assured that other members of Malaysia's Ba'ath Party had also made a pledge.
"Xun Jian, you have been the main beam in Nanyang, and this time you can be regarded as a leader, what are your plans?"
"Now the British Empire is in full swing and has a lot of power in Asia, so my idea is not to have too much conflict with the British for the time being, so the Malay stronghold we mainly focus on plantations and light industry, vigorously develop commercial trade, set up a trading company in the Lion City, and at the same time vigorously develop the border island of Sumatra, we now have plantations all over the South Seas, and there are reclamation points everywhere, and we already have a certain foundation, so it is much easier to carry out than when we first came to Java. I'm sure I want to penetrate the Malay slowly without alarming the sensitive nerves of the British! β
Bai Xunjian has been in Nanyang for a long time, and he has a general understanding of Nanyang, so he plans to start with the road.
"I think it is feasible, Malay wants to develop, and other islands such as Sumatra, the Philippines, and Medan can also develop if they have the opportunity, and when we gain a foothold in the country, we can take care of the Nanyang islands in turn, but the target should not be as big as we are in Java, and when these colonial countries react, it will be too big to lose, and then we will have the capital to negotiate."
"That's right, when it comes to business development, I have an idea here, I am ready to create several large-scale cargo distribution centers, after last year's Nanyang Industry Association, I found out that I underestimated our country's technology, so I am ready to build a large center in Jiujiang, Yangzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Phoenix, Northeast Dandong, to raise a variety of commodities for classification, clothing, food, housing and transportation are included, retail and wholesale integration, so that our business will be greatly supplemented, and the goods we produce are not worried about salesγγγγγγ"
"Wait, wait, we don't have the money, how much does it cost to build such a large comprehensive shopping mall, just to buy the goods of other merchants, even if we sell the entire foundation of our Nanyang, what if we can't sell it, all in our hands? I am categorically against it! β
Ye Zhongyu didn't wait for Chen Xuan to finish speaking, and quickly interrupted Chen Xuan's words, he knew too well that now the Chang'an regime was even struggling to survive, and it still had to make such a big investment-is it just this day?
"Senior brother, listen to me, in addition to the cost of buying land and building houses, the distribution center I said does not need to purchase goods, the goods are provided by various merchants, and even the people who sell the goods are their own people, we do unified management, and make money by collecting rent and commission!"
Chen Xuan patiently explained that he knew the operation mode of those large stores in later generations, so he provided a stall by himself, and the rest were all found by each manufacturer, and even the decoration was provided by himself, and the factory paid for someone to do it.
"Give the rent a cut, are those merchants stupid, many of these big cities have their own shops, they can negotiate their own business, and they can still use us?"
Ye Zhongyu scoffed, this is not his professional scope after all.
"I understand," Bai Xunjian is worthy of being a senior executive of Zhenhua, and quickly reacted: "Although other merchants have their own stores, but the products are too single, and the big transactions, especially ocean trade, the purchased products will not be one or two, or even dozens or hundreds, with such a platform, people who buy goods do not have to run around in order to save time, there are many such brokers in China to do such transactions, we have the strength of the background to rely on, and the personnel are professional, There is no reason why these buyers should not choose our center, and even if there is a suitable house, we can even save the money to buy land and build a building, and the operability is extremely high, genius! It's a genius idea! β
After Bai Xunjian's explanation, everyone finally knew what was going on, and they were excited to hear it.
"Even so, we don't have the money to invest, even if we rent a house, we can't get an effect without an investment of more than 2 million in the early stage!"
"We can build another company and cooperate in the form of shares, we will take 2.6 million as the benchmark, the automotive industry has also made a lot of money in the past two years, we can provide about 800,000, and the rest will be recruited with 1,000 oceans as a share, so that it is operable, and as long as the operation is successful, this industry will definitely make money!"
On the contrary, the Chang'an regime managed to squeeze out 200,000, Huang Zhonghan and the wealthy businessmen of the Nanyang Revival Party raised 1.3 million, Cheng Dequan was embarrassed to get 300,000, and Chen Xuan personally contributed 900,000, so the funds were in place in an instant.
The joint cargo distribution center was named Pacific Department Store, Chen Xuan Holdings, and Huang Zhonghan was responsible for the operation.
With the addition of these people, most of the problem of goods has been solved, and Zhenhua alone can provide hundreds of products.
