Chapter 193: The Great Qin Commercial Committee
"Ladies and gentlemen, you know what I called you for." Li Chen sat up, took a sip of tea and asked.
"If there is anything Hou Ye has to say, we will only look forward to Hou Ye."
"That's it, Hou Ye said."
"It's our blessing to be able to serve Master Hou."
“......”
The businessmen in the audience scrambled to express their loyalty, and as long as the businessmen did not hurt their interests and said some inconsequential polite words, they were still doing it.
"I, Li Chen, am not only the marquis of Great Qin, but also the head of the Li family. Speaking of which, I am a businessman like all of you, and I will call everyone here today to talk about business. I must have been in business with the Ba family for a long time, and the purpose of calling you here today is to enable everyone to have a better business environment. Li Chen said step by step.
"What, do business with Li Jiazhuang."
"That's a good feeling."
"Master Hou is telling the truth."
“......”
The hall became noisy for a moment.
Refined salt, sugar, bicycles, glass, farm tools, etc., since Lijiazhuang produced these things, monopolized many industries in Daqin. And Lijiazhuang's things are all dumped by the Ba family's Chamber of Commerce. If other major chambers of commerce want to get the goods, they will be exploited by the Ba family. doesn't sell Lijiazhuang's things, and its own old-fashioned products really have no advantage.
"Be quiet, be quiet."
Li Chen made a gesture to press down, signaling everyone to be quiet,
"You have any opinions, if not, let's move on to the next step." Li Chen glanced at everyone and asked.
"We don't have an opinion, but we're afraid that the head of the Ba family will have an opinion." The head of the Wang family looked at Ba Qing and said.
This was originally monopolized by the Ba family in trade with Lijiazhuang, and the Ba family is equivalent to a general distributor, and all the dealers below need to take goods from the Ba family, and the Ba family has a great right to speak. If each family takes the goods directly from Lijiazhuang, the Ba family will naturally suffer the most benefits.
"Hey, if the Hou Ye is willing to do it with me, I can't force the Hou Ye to do it if he doesn't want to do it." Ba Qing sighed and made a grievance.
"That big sister, can you speak clearly. We're in business, not in business. Li Chen looked at the pretty widow and thought speechlessly.
"Since everyone has no opinions, let's move on to the next step."
"I propose to set up a Daqin Business Committee, where everyone can produce an internal price lower than the market price, and the members of the committee can use the price below the market price to get the goods, so that everyone can communicate with each other."
"Just like the Dansha of the Ba family, the cattle, sheep and horses of the Wang family, the cattle, sheep and horses of the Wang family, the medicinal materials of the Du family, and so on..... People tend to focus on one type of product. For example, the Ba family is in Bashu, the Wang family and the Meng family are in the Hetao and Guansanqin regions, and the Du family is in Liaodong..... In their own base camp, it must be difficult for other forces to intervene, and after the establishment of the committee, everyone can diversify their operations. ”
"What do you think?" When Li Chen said this, he looked at everyone and asked.
"Yes."
"That's what Master Hou said."
"Good attention."
The crowd in the lobby echoed.
This notice seemed so wonderful to them.
"Then let's choose a day instead of hitting the day, how about establishing the Daqin Business Committee today." Li Chen asked, looking around.
"Okay."
"Agreed."
"No comment."
The businessmen agreed, after all, there are many dreams at night, and this matter is beneficial to them, so it is better to settle it early.
"Daqin Business Committee, there is one president unit, three vice president units, nine standing member units, and the member units are not counted, what do you think?" Li Chen asked everyone.
This president unit is naturally Lijiazhuang, and the vice president unit is the chamber of commerce of the Ba family, the Wang family and the Meng family. As for the remaining nine standing committee members, none of you are convinced, you say I can't do it, I say you don't. For a while, I almost didn't fight.
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Don't quarrel with each other yet, I have my own way of who is the Standing Committee member and who is the member. Let's discuss the next step first, if we can't unite together, it will be a chicken and egg fight. Li Chen said.
As soon as Li Chen said this, everyone fell silent. Everyone is a shrewd person, and if you want to get benefits, you have to set up the Daqin Business Committee, so if you continue to quarrel like this, I'm afraid that you will really be beaten with chickens and eggs, and you will be empty-handed.
"I propose to use commercial bonds for our internal transactions, which will be guaranteed by my Li Jiazhuang. For example, if the head of the Ba family sells me grain worth 2,000 gold today, the head of the Ba family can choose to ask for 2,000 gold in cash or a commercial debt worth 2,000 gold. ”
"Some people may ask, what is this commercial debt for, and what is the use of commercial debt."
"You sell me something, and if you want cash, I'll give you cash. If you want a commercial bond, I will give you a commercial bond, and if you want this commercial bond to purchase goods from my Lijiazhuang in the future, you can have a 20% discount on the basis of the internal price. Li Chen explained to everyone the purpose of commercial bonds.
"I understand what Master Hou said, and the use of commercial bond transactions is also a relief for everyone's funds. It's just that if Hou Ye is an issuer of bonds, we will naturally trust it, but if the rest of us also issue commercial bonds, I'm afraid everyone won't recognize it. The pretty widow Ba Qing said. Li Chen was the first to support, and Ba Qing began to play a role,
"Why don't you use my Lijiazhuang's commercial bonds to trade?" Li Chen asked.
"This, buy Lijiazhuang's commercial bonds first, I'm afraid we don't have so much cash in our hands." No. 2 asked the head of the Wang family to begin his speech.
"Hey, as the president, it is also for the great Qin business system to flourish. I, Li Chen, pay more, it's okay to suffer some losses, and I must not let everyone suffer. As the saying goes, the first rich drive the later rich, I believe that everyone's business will get bigger and bigger under the leadership of my Li Chen. ”
"In this way, it is also difficult for everyone to let everyone use cash to buy commercial bonds for trading. Presumably, everyone has a lot of grain in their hands, and now that the autumn grain is coming down, how about everyone exchange the grain in their hands for Lijiazhuang's commercial debts. Li Chen asked with a sincere face.
"My Ba family is naturally willing, the grain business in the past two years has not been good, and the grain is moldy in the warehouse."
"What the head of the Ba family said is right, and my Wang family also agrees."
"The Meng family agrees."
"Agreed."
“.......”
"In that case, let's go back and prepare. It is limited to half a month, and whoever exchanges grain for Lijiazhuang's commercial debts will be the one who owns the remaining nine standing committee units. Li Chen said.
In the past two years, almost all households have been self-sufficient, and the grain business has become more and more difficult. And these big families often have their own fields and villages, and this land cannot be left uncultivated. Therefore, the major chambers of commerce have hoarded a lot of grain, and it is really a good thing for them to exchange inconsequential grain for commercial debts traded with Lijiazhuang.
"Little enemy, how is my sister's acting skills?"
"Now my sister is the most at a loss, have you thought about how to compensate my sister?" The pretty widow looked at Li Chen with watery eyes, like a beautiful snake that wanted to eat people.
"She's wrapping around me."
"Shall I stab her?"
"Wait online, urgent."
Li Chen was entangled for a while, and his legs slipped like oil.
"Goodbye.".
"Farewell."
"Go to bed early."
