Section 77 Women's cooperatives
The news of the traverser's attack on Goujiazhuang spread throughout the county within three days. The reactions of all kinds of people to this news were extremely complicated, and the gentry were happy that Gou Xunyi was disgusted with the dog, and the tyrannical guy was completely finished, and they were worried about the sharp rise in the shili of the shorthairs. However, the poor people within a radius of dozens of miles have received relief, and they are all happy and grateful. The people in the distance heard the wind and envied it, and coaxed it everywhere. The common people get benefits, and people continue to come to tell the traversers the details of many large villages, and some people are willing to do the bottom line and invite them to go to break the village. Even small groups of bandits came to discuss "common prosperity". The traversers were warmly received and noted down the situation, and as for the broken village, they said that they needed to rest and recuperate, and they would not carry out this business for the time being.
Within 100 miles, there is no big family that does not send congratulatory gifts to the shorthairs, and even Huangjiazhai has sent people to send pigs, sheep and cloth. The traversers are not to blame for the past, not only do they take everything they do. He also rewarded the envoys who came and went, and asked them to go back to spread the word, a new market was opened here in Bairen City, and everyone came to do business, ensure safety, and do not charge any fees. Dongmen Blowing Rain and tirelessly took a wave of envoys to Dongmen City to go around, that is, to show them the brick and stone roads being paved and the red brick houses being built next to the streets......
Pirates are opening a market to do business, which is really a new thing! There are not many local markets in Lingao, and there are only 14 cities in the county, and there is only a simple county store in the dignified county. This will make a Dongmen market in that place of Bairentan! The big families heard that the family members who came back said that the market there was no worse than other places, and that they had to buy a lot of things every day, and recently they were even more open to buy grain, and the purchase price was still very high! Many large families with large stocks of grain at home were moved and joined the ranks of selling grain to the traversers. The amount of food arriving every day made Cheng Dong stomp his feet in distress - the silver was flowing out!
After some intense preparations, the salt shop, the first business of the crossing, opened in the sound of crackling firecrackers. Because the merchant hall is not yet under construction, this salt shop is just a simple bamboo shack, and behind the counter are stacked bags of sea salt from the Mayuan salt factory, which are sold in 50-gram units, and the price is one-third lower than the market price.
Although the sales were insignificant at first, the sales soared as the news spread that there was cheap salt in Dongmen City, and people from all over the world rushed to buy salt. In particular, some small salt dealers are even more flocking to it. Baskets of purchases. In the past, the salt works were occupied by large households, and it was difficult for salt to enter, let alone the official salt in the county town -- when the snow-white salt came out of the hands of the officials, it became black and yellow like mud and sand, and the price was even more outrageous. Zuihou, even the cook of the county yamen came to buy salt, and he did not ask for an invoice, but the account was undoubtedly based on the price of official salt.
Buoyed by the success of the salt shop, the second store of the Traveler was also opened. There is something special about this store, and the reason why it is special is that it is not a "state-owned store", that is, the ownership is not all traversers, but joint-stock enterprises.
This joint-stock enterprise was created by Li Mei of the Ming family. Soon after moving to Bairencheng and settling down, Mrs. Li, who was accustomed to fighting in shopping malls, began to sit still, and now her daughter-in-law is a public security officer again, and his wife wears his 87-style naval uniform without a badge and cockade every day, and goes to the military group to be a naval consultant. In the end, she has been in the business world for a long time, and she has been thinking about starting a company or something, at least opening a store.
Opening a store is a trivial matter for Li Mei in the original time and space, she wants capital and channels, but here, the whole family has nothing but a bunch of luggage. The traverser itself has nothing to sell, and it is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice. So she had to wait for her chance. Mrs. Li firmly believes in one point: the opportunity to make a fortune is available in any time and space, as long as you can grasp it.
When the traverser opened up the trade relationship with Li Tong, he made a windfall in Goujiazhuang. Dongmen City has also begun to become a climate, and Li Mei knows that the opportunity has come.
The Planning Commission brought countless trophies from Goujiazhuang, ranging from porcelain and furnishings to clothes. These items need to be digested and turned into cash and food that can be used. That's where she comes from.
The next question is, how do you turn a source into a store item? She doesn't have any money, and it's not hard for her at all. After muttering with the women she met in the cafeteria, Li Mei returned to her simple room, put on the suit that she used to wear when going out to talk about business, and changed into a pair of half-heeled leather shoes. washed her face, combed her hair carefully, and immediately changed from an aunt to a strong woman in the business world.
She went straight to the compound of the executive committee and found an opportunity to grab Wen Desi. I told him about my idea of opening a store.
"Open a store?" Wen Deji was a little confused, "We don't have a large number of industrial products now, and we have nothing to sell." ”
"There are things, that is, those things that Gou Jiazhuang brought back, those clothes, daily necessities, miscellaneous wood furniture or something, these things are basically old. I can't sell it to anyone else in batches, so I want to buy it on behalf of the company and then sell it out. ”
Wen Desi suddenly felt that this woman was a little whimsical, isn't this just selling old goods? What money did she take for her company acquisition? He knew that Old Man Ming's wife was the manager of a trading company in the past, and she probably had a very strong family background, but the RMB assets - not to mention whether she brought it or not, even if she brought it, it was worthless.
"What do you buy? And the company? I don't remember setting up a company. ”
"The company is here," Li Mei took out a piece of paper, which was densely filled with words, "This is the agreement for the establishment of the company, and it stands to reason that it must be registered with industry and commerce first, but Dongmen Fuyu said that he doesn't know if he has the right to manage this." I'll show it to you. ”
Wen Desi took a look at it, and it was roughly written that these people voluntarily invested in the establishment of a "Hainan Women's Cooperative Co., Ltd.", and the business scope included: daily necessities, department stores, catering, hardware, and so on, and below was the share distribution ratio and the signatures of more than a dozen women -- at a cursory glance, almost all the women who traveled through it, and even Aunt Cao, who has always been known for her simplicity, also has shares.
"But what is your capital injection? Where do you have money now? Are they all supply-based? ”
"Mr. Wen, I remember that all officially registered traversers receive salaries-"
Wen Deji couldn't cry or laugh, he had forgotten about this stubble. Because there is no place to spend the salary, few people will remember that they still have this income. But this accidental accident involved in the person remembers it clearly.
"These shareholders all use the income from the bonds in their names to obtain shares, and I think the Executive Committee will definitely not deny that these bonds equivalent to RMB have purchasing power-"
"This-" Of course, Wen Deji couldn't deny it, otherwise everyone wouldn't have made a fuss right away, he struggled hard, "But at the moment, only three months' salary has been paid, and this money is counted as share capital, and it is impossible to buy so many things." ”
"For the time being, we will buy a part of it and then use the proceeds of the sale for turnover." Li Mei saw that Mr. Wen's face was very wrong, and immediately said the follow-up, "The first batch is to purchase with bonds, and then purchase from the executive committee in the future, that is, to settle with bonds, work coupons, gold, silver and copper coins." ”
"Okay, that's good." Wen Deji finally breathed a sigh of relief, "But since you sell to natives, you won't have any new bond income." ”
"Oh, in fact, a lot of things can be sold to comrades. I know, I know," she stopped, as she was about to speak, "our group is currently supply-based, but non-necessities can be bought by everyone with bonds—otherwise what's the point of having bonds?" I heard a few days ago that someone wanted to buy a slip in their room, but it doesn't necessarily have to be issued by the executive committee, right? Also, if more working capital is needed, I intend to issue corporate bonds - with the approval of the Executive Committee, of course. ”
"More on the issue of bonds later." Wen Desi thinks that you are really ready to make a big leap forward in business, "It's a good idea to start a joint-stock company, I personally agree." However, it will take some discussion from the Executive Committee before we can officially reply to you. ”
"I have an idea," Li Mei then added her bargaining weight, "that this company could be a public-private joint venture, and the executive committee could invest on behalf of all the traversers and own a portion of the shares—let's say 20 percent." ”
"Well, that's good." Wen Deji began to listen carefully to her thoughts.
"This part of the income can be used to distribute dividends to everyone, for welfare expenses, and for future executive committee administrative expenses-" She said slowly, while paying attention to the change in Mr. Wen's face, "You think, the supply system is abnormal, and when you gain a firm foothold, you will always implement the salary system, and then everyone will be able to account for your income." Anyone will like to be able to get a little extra cash out. ”
"However, the Executive Committee can't issue additional bonds," Wen Deji frowned, "The bonds are just a kind of virtual currency, and they automatically add a number to everyone's salary and bonus account every month." The value is not very easy to estimate. This is one aspect, and the other problem is that the Executive Committee does not have any bonds in its hands at all. ”
"We can recalculate the value problem, and there are people in the group who study economics and should be able to figure out a solution. As for saying that the executive committee doesn't have bonds in its hands, that's not a problem at all," Li Mei laughed slyly, revealing her true purpose, "Can you use goods to buy shares?" ”
Wen Deji was taken aback: You are a white wolf with empty gloves! Li Mei didn't have a penny for a long time, it was all air-to-air. But he couldn't come up with any reason to object, because she had taken the dead hole that the Executive Committee did not dare to deny the value of bonds.
The proposal to set up a company was quickly approved at the meeting. In addition to the concept of public-private partnerships, the financial and commercial sectors also supported the proposal. Cheng Dong believes that this can recoup some bonds, and once the huge amount of bonds accumulated by so many people over a long period of time suddenly joins the market circulation, it will cause violent inflation.
Du Wen was particularly active in supporting the meeting -- it turned out that in addition to the 20 percent shares owned by the traversers, Du Wen had been advocating that the "women's federation" to be established would have a 5 percent stake before it was established. The biggest beneficiary is, of course, Li Mei herself, who, although she did not have a single dollar in bonds, received a 12 percent stake as a manager - which was voted on at the general meeting.
