Chapter 750: Competing to be the source
Anyway, Sun Xiangfu wanted to talk about a few days of fake history in Yangzhou, and he had a lot of time to catch up with Lu Quan, and Sun Xiangfu didn't stay in the soybean sauce factory for long.
For dinner, he naturally wanted to go to the Wushi Tong Mansion with Wang Deyong and others, the Wu family's house in Yangzhou has always been there, but now it has been assigned to his son Wu Yuanshuang by the Wu Shi Tong, as for where he lives now, it is a villa of two or three hundred square meters in the business school.
After the completion of Yangzhou Business School, Sun Xiangfu is the first time to come, it is worthy of the four major families in Yangzhou united all the Huainan Province businessmen to build, representing the face of businessmen of the university, in order to enhance their status, show their own style, they have worked hard and spent a lot of money.
Far away from the gate, Sun Xiangfu saw a huge statue of Tao Zhugong, and along both sides of the gate, there were high stone walls, on which various murals and texts were carved.
Its content is naturally to say that some businessmen have played various positive roles in the long history, especially the benefits of this dynasty's business and trade, and even, Sun Xiangfu has been mentioned many times, but it is swept away, and Sun Xiangfu, who saw his name scattered, was a little crying and laughing.
However, this kind of propaganda is good, and the ideological and moral education of businessmen should have been more strict, and the use of positive appeals can lay an ideological foundation for all later businessmen.
Therefore, although business is a more scientific business management, it has added more Confucian teaching than other subjects.
Although Kong Yingda did not expect that the people who finally took the initiative to learn Confucian knowledge would be these businessmen they looked down on in the past.
However, he was very supportive of Confucian education in the business school, and sent many of his students to teach.
Businessmen must be honest and moral, teach them to be benevolent gentlemen, and be able to clean up the atmosphere of the entire business world, which Sun Xiangfu also supports.
There are a lot of business school teachings that came to greet Sun Xiangfu and Wang Deyong, after all, now, it has been incorporated into the education system of the imperial court, and it is also an education department from the three grades, up and down, with instructors at all levels, there are hundreds of people.
If Sun Xiangfu had come during the day, there might have even been tens of thousands of students here to greet him, but now it was almost dusk time for dinner, but he only occasionally saw the students gathered at the door, and he gathered around.
People are profitable, and learning to do business, can make people get more profits, especially in the imperial court and all walks of life, the role of businessmen has been recognized, there is no discrimination, the people's enthusiasm for learning to do business is higher, the business school alone has more than 20,000 Han students, and other minority students, it has reached nearly 50,000, but it is equivalent to the proportion of the population of the existing ethnic groups in Datang.
Of these 70,000 or 80,000 students, even if only about 10% of them heard the news and rushed to the school gate to see the excitement, there were enough seven or eight thousand people, so Sun Xiangfu came to the business school and enjoyed the feeling of being a superstar.
Due to time reasons, Sun Xiangfu just said hello to everyone, and then entered the campus, and after taking a general look at several main buildings of the business school in the distance, he went to the villa area of the teachers to attend the banquet.
The villa of the samurai tong is not large, so there are not many people who can really eat at the table, only a few officials above the fourth rank, and the rest of the people eat a buffet in the garden and listen to them speak around the side.
On this occasion, it was impossible for Wu Shitong to ask about his own private affairs, but he chatted with Sun Xiangfu about some things in business teaching, and took the lead in speaking, "Zhengming farms everywhere and is at ease, but it hurts the old man and others." ”
"How can you say this?" Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.
Wu Shitong spread his hands and said what many business school education system officials thought in their hearts, "Nowadays, we have so many big industries in Datang, and some industries need to be managed, and even need to formulate a set of management regulations that are as complex as the imperial court law, but it has exhausted our group. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu really wants to give a thumbs up to the people here, that is, Wu Shitong has decades of experience in doing business before, managing the Ministry of Commerce, and large enterprises with hundreds of thousands of people such as Overseas Investment and Exploration Co., Ltd., otherwise, the operation and management of hundreds of large industries in Datang will definitely encounter an embarrassing situation of insufficient management level and unable to keep up with the pace of development.
The current actual situation is that Datang has basically kept up with the overall development rhythm of Datang in terms of business operation and management, and there may be factors that the overall commercial system is underdeveloped in this era. However, it is mainly these teachers who are business scholars, who themselves deal with various business industries, and their own level is excellent.
Judging from the current situation, the major clan enterprises and the imperial court industry determine the value of their talents in the market due to the lack of management talents, at least, this is a discipline with a lot of money.
Commerce, and the development of agriculture and industry, is inseparable, without the development of commerce, there would be no Datang's current agriculture, industry go hand in hand, to achieve the overall rapid development of the situation.
Because the output of peasants and workers needs to be sold by merchants in order to make a profit, only when they are sold and circulated, these outputs can be more valuable and help the people achieve prosperity and live a good life.
After Sun Xiangfu started in agriculture, he opened a Wangjiang Building to export agricultural products, and now everyone can see the reason.
From the fact that all the taxes in Datang are concentrated in industry and commerce, we can roughly know the status of this class in society in the future, so these people in the business school are very concerned about their work, and dream that one day, they will become the mainstream of society.
Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "There is no way, we farmers sweat, you business people spend their brains, each has its own pay, we must learn to exercise ourselves in challenges, so that we can face greater challenges in the future."
As you know, the future population and market of our Datang will double the growth, the variety of industries, and the complexity of operation and management are unimaginable. ”
Hearing this, everyone was smiling, no one didn't want their career to be more promising, people who can teach in business schools, their families are not short of money, what they need more is a big slogan like Sun Xiangfu for the benefit of future generations, to enhance their fame and qualifications.
After more than ten years of development, Datang's industry and commerce have transformed from the initial output manufacturing and passive selling to the mode of actively opening up trade routes and setting up sales channels.
Back then, in order for the Hu merchants in the Western Regions to safely purchase goods from the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court also needed to provide them with military protection, and in order to allow the merchants to sell more of their output, they also needed to lend a large number of goods to the Hu merchants in the Western Regions.
And now, most of those Hu merchants in the Western Regions have held the household registration of the Tang Dynasty and regard themselves as Tang people, and in many cases, each large factory has begun to send people to other places to inspect the market when their goods are still in the design stage, and to engage in commodity research and development according to the needs of others.
Let everyone be inseparable from the goods made in Datang's own territory, which is a means for Datang to achieve effective control over the newly ruled areas in the future.
"Although the old man manages the business school, when it comes to the ability to germinate, it is not as good as Zhengming, you rarely come to Yangzhou, but you have to tell us more about the doorway here, so that we can find a direction in the future."
When Wu Shitong said this, Sun Xiangfu really had some words, and said, "Everyone knows that those who do simple business of buying low and selling high are small businessmen who are not in the stream, and businessmen who really do demand will often do bigger, such as coal, or other mineral resource industries, everyone needs them, so it can quickly become bigger."
However, even these coal, steel, and mineral resources industries are actually large and limited, and they cannot enter the top 10 list of the entire business circle. Because, there are so many alternatives, so many options.
At present, what are the top 10 listed companies in Datang and the top 10 in terms of profit?
The first is a smelter, the second is a shipyard, and the third is the turn of an overseas exploration and investment company built with a lot of resources.
With the wide business scope, large business system, and certain monopoly of overseas exploration and investment companies, it only ranks third, but why can the traditional smelting and shipbuilding industries be the first and second under the competition of many small private workshops?
We can see some clues from the development of the past ten years, that is, the core technology.
Most of the industries that developed and rose rapidly after the first year of Zhenguan were related to high and new technology, including the coal and mining industries I just mentioned, and among them, the smelting process of smelters was the first in the world. The shipyard's shipbuilding technology has since become the best in the world.
Smelters can smelt a variety of metals of different degrees to meet the needs of other industries, and shipbuilding, they can build a variety of ships that improve the volume and transportation efficiency, so that they can fully control the pricing power of the market, so they can steadily rank first and second.
Because, in the entire down-line industry, everyone is asking for them, and coal, minerals and other resource industries, all places can do it, although the overall magnitude is very large, but it is not as profitable as Weinan smelter.
Since the second year of Zhenguan, the construction orders of shipyards are usually scheduled for three or five years later, and even if the price they set is several times more expensive than the actual cost, everyone will beg them to build for themselves. Because they built a good boat, the first generation of water ships, which were able to completely crush the oars of the previous ones.
The second-generation wind-powered propeller pushes the east propeller, which is a water steamer that crushes pure livestock.
In the third generation, steamships are even more capable of crushing all ships in the world.
How can they expand unscrupulously and become bigger?
Because they have the core technology of shipbuilding, the technology that others can't reach.
In contrast, the original clan groups with abundant capital and huge operating industries, but because they did not have these core technologies, if they wanted to do anything, they needed to ask them to put a large amount of money earned from their own industries into the hands of these two major factories.
This is the importance of core technology, and businessmen, in our current period, we need to pay attention to the research and development investment of this core technology, around a variety of high-tech, build it into an industrial chain, enhance their competitiveness in the market, in the future, core technology, is the key to business competitiveness. ”
When Sun Xiangfu said this, everyone immediately saw the entire business trend of Datang, whether it was shipbuilding, building cars, building buildings, making solar pots, making artillery and other new weapons and equipment, all efficient and easy-to-use things are basically inseparable from technology, so the enterprises that have mastered the most advanced technology have become the source of the development of the entire business circle and the largest handicap.
Not only the successful experience of smelters and shipyards, Yangzhou bean sauce factory, which constantly develops and researches various flavors of sauces, has also mastered the technical source of the seasoning market, as well as the Dingxiang textile factory that has mastered the technology of wool degreasing, spinning and weaving, and has become the technical source of the textile industry, as well as various other industries such as ceramics, glass, papermaking, printing and dyeing, etc., as long as it can achieve the most advanced technology, it is qualified to become the source of the industry and become the top super enterprise.
And if the source of all industries in the world comes from Datang itself, then Datang's stability in the entire ruling region will definitely rise to a terrifying height.
It turns out that businessmen should participate in the investment in various technology research and development, compete to be the source, and have their own core technology, not only can they make more money and generate taxes for the country, but also help the country better rule the local government at the economic level, which is the quality that a big businessman needs to have.
Once this system is fully built in various industries, then when there are people in that area, they may become poor because industry and commerce are completely uncompetitive with Datang locality, and at that time, the success rate of these people who cause trouble will drop a lot, after all, in the future, it will be an era of weapons and equipment.
Moreover, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity, which is a common problem for everyone, and people prefer to change from bad to good, and will not like to change from good to bad.
In such a general situation, those people who have been incited to rebel because of the momentary anger generally do not have the strength to threaten the central government, and once these rebellious people at the bottom find that their rebellion will make their lives worse than before, they will turn back in time, and those who oppose for the sake of opposition are basically crazy, and even if there are such people, they only account for a very small minority.
Of course, the biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty is actually not the outside, but the internal, the imperialist dictatorship in power by the emperor will make the country's development good or bad, and the emperor's diligence and wisdom will be bound.
