Chapter 234: The Discussion of the Sister and Brother (Supplement 1)
"That's right, but Gao Ming, I don't understand one thing, you must have other ideas when you do this! I just want to see them get angry in a hurry, so I don't want you" Li Wei stared at Li Chengqian and asked.
"There is a little other idea, sister, you think, we are just doing normal business first, not doing other means, but our products are good and the price is fair, then you say, if it were ordinary people, whose things would they buy" Li Wei saw that Li Wei brought it up, and did not hide it, but said to Li Wei very happily.
"You don't need to ask, as long as you're not stupid, you're definitely buying our things," Li Wei glanced at Li Chengqian and said to him.
"Yes, that's the case, then have you thought about what to do with the store that sells the same goods as us," Li Chengqian asked again.
"I really haven't thought about this," Li Wei said after a moment's thought.
"Those stores, there are three ways to go, one is to close, the second is to make better products than us to snatch customers back, and the third is to reduce the price and sell the very expensive products that were sold before, and no matter how you choose, it will not have much impact on us," Li Chengqian explained to Li Wei.
"Wait, how can this have no effect on us! If they make a better product, then what should we do, and if they reduce the price, it will also pull away a lot of people, and if it has no impact, it will be the first one" After Li Wei listened, she received it even more puzzled.
"My sister! Your pattern is too small, I ask you, to make better products than us, then do they want to increase product research and development, make better technology, invite more craftsmen, and they reduce the price, that is not ordinary people can buy, these things they need to think about for a long time on weekdays, and have been reducing the price, but he doesn't want to close the door, is he going to recruit more craftsmen, and in this way, no matter how it is calculated, the ultimate benefit is the ordinary people, and the ordinary people benefit, Is that the court benefited, and no matter whether those people recruited people to start a workshop, or not, did they have to pay taxes, did you say that the Li family, as the master of the Tang Dynasty, would not lose anything" Li Chengqian explained to Li Wei at a deeper level.
"Yes, yes, you say that, it's true, in this way, we really won't lose anything, and in this way, we can also use the huge funds of the family to continue to develop, and it can also benefit the people and the court, this is really a good thing to kill three birds with one stone" Li Wei thought for a long time, and said to Li Chengqian with an excited face!
"Sister, what do you mean by killing three birds with one stone, it's obviously killing four birds with one stone!"
"What kill four birds with one stone, is there anything I didn't expect, quick, smart, I'll listen" Li Wei heard Li Chengqian's words, looked at Li Chengqian with some doubts, and then urged excitedly.
"The last bird is, we, have seized the high-end market, don't you think that if the family and those businessmen can develop better products, we can't? I'm telling you, we can, not only can, but we can do better.
So sister, what you have to do after you occupy the market, sell those ordinary industries, we will make high-end, such as porcelain, we will make the best, the most beautiful, and use these to earn the money of those families, princes, ministers and wealthy merchants, as for those ordinary pottery bowls and the like, we will not do it, buy the workshop directly to others, anyway, in a word, that is, we will earn the money of the rich, and the money of the people, we will not make it, let others make it, and I have made a rule before, That is, the craftsmen who work in the royal workshop, after a few years, can choose to go out independently, start their own business, you can completely let them do the low-end products that we don't do, and even some processing can also be done by someone, such as the glass workshop to use sand, these can be done by other people, we can buy it directly, and in order to prevent one person from monopolizing the price hike, you can also find a few more" Li Chengqian told Li Wei in one breath some of the business operations he had seen and learned in his previous life.
And when Li Wei heard it, she looked at Li Chengqian with an incredible face, and she realized the power of her brother again at this moment.
"Gao Ming, what do you want me to say about you, such an idea, you can think of it, you are really amazing, in this way, it not only makes us invincible, but also greatly improves efficiency, and also benefits more people, because in this way, ordinary people, in addition to farming, have one more way to live, but these things have not yet been implemented, there are many places that are not perfect, and there are no corresponding laws, will it" In the end, Li Wei put forward his own suggestion with a little worry.
"Sister, what are you anxious about, you get it first, and when you have a little effect, it is not very simple to ask for a law, after all, this Tang Dynasty is our family, and when the time comes, let our father, find someone to formulate a law in this regard" Li Chengqian looked at Li Wei with a smile and said.
"Look at me, I forgot about this stubble again, okay, since I know what to do in the future, then I'll go and get busy first" After speaking, Li Wei left in a hurry.
And Li Chengqian was in the study, flipping through a large amount of intelligence materials sent by the Ming Wei and the secret guard during this time.
And the point that Li Wei didn't mention was about the price of grain, and Li Chengqian also found the answer from Ming Wei's intelligence materials.
Originally, the family's plan to raise grain prices with full confidence this time, under Li Chengqian's order and with the cooperation of the three provinces and six ministries, the little panic caused just now was suppressed, and not only suppressed, but also caused the grain to fall to a certain extent.
This is because, after the state apparatus of the Tang Dynasty was dispatched, the grain of those families could not be sold, but they were still losing money every day, after all, a lot of that grain needed to be transported from other places, after all, they didn't want a lot of Li Chengqian's grain to be local, even if it was transported, it was also a conscription, so this could not be sold, in order to reduce the loss, the family could only sell it at a reduced price.
And as soon as they dropped, Li Shimin also lowered the price, and finally let the grain price drop to a very low level before stopping, which made the ordinary people who were panicked before not being able to afford food really get a benefit.
Now those people are thinking about Li Shimin, the emperor, which really makes Li Shimin happy.
But compared to Li Shimin's happiness, the family is not so happy, especially the initiator of raising grain prices this time, the Lu family, this time it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses.
It is said that the old head of the Lu family almost died of anger after learning about this incident.
