Chapter 103: Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce
The reason why Chen Zhuang has developed to the present is strong enough.
Yuan Chao concluded that the first is to rely on strong force.
The second is that there is always a supply of silver.
The two complement each other and are indispensable.
Now that the overall situation has entered a rare period of stability, it is necessary to make a good layout of Chenzhuang's economic development.
Chen Zhuang's economy was generally planned by the Yuan Dynasty, and the specific person at the helm was Wang Ze.
Wang Ze also did not live up to Yuan Chao's expectations of him, and was always able to quickly accept advanced ideas, and then quickly put these concepts into practice.
Wang Ze has been busy with the planning of the Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce for a while.
With the time came to May of the third year of Chongzhen.
Another year of wheat harvest is about to be made, and plenty of business opportunities are about to emerge.
And during this time, the Yuan Dynasty also rarely had free time, so how could he not plan the establishment of the Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce.
According to the planning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce mainly relies on shipping to do business between the north and the south.
It sounds simple, but it's not that easy.
The first is the cultivation of the north-south market.
The northern market is dominated by surplus money, and through the sale of grain business in the north, it has set up a line with many large chambers of commerce and large businessmen, and gradually formed a good supply relationship.
This time, Wang Ze sent Xu Kuan, who was both loyal to Chen Zhuang and capable, and Xu Kuan also relied on the grain purchase business to get acquainted with many businessmen, and the southern market was gradually opened.
An important part of this business is transportation.
The Yuan Dynasty not only had its own inland river transport fleet, but also had wharves and warehouses, and the whole supporting facilities were in the end, so that a lot of costs were saved and there were great bargaining chips in the business war.
Nowadays, Chenzhuang Wharf has also become a recognized good wharf, and it is very loud in the Shaying River and even the upstream and downstream of the inland river.
In the end, this kind of business also needs a certain amount of shelter and dotting, in Chenzhou naturally there is no said, it is the nest of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is also a small help from Sun Zushou in Henan, there is really trouble in other provinces, and the Yuan Dynasty can also find Zhou Huaji to dredge and dot, and the whole business has been carried out so far, and there has been no big trouble.
Yuan Chao now wants to further standardize the entire business operation, play a unified banner, and form a greater brand effect.
It was based on these that Yuan Chao found a free time and recalled Wang Ze and those related personnel to Chen Zhuang.
In the big mansion of Yuan Dynasty in Chen Zhuang, Yuan Chao sat on the main seat.
Standing below were Zhou Weihang, Yuan Bao, Wang Ze, Chen Panhai, Xu Kuan and Qian Duoyu.
Seeing that the relevant people were all from all over the world, and they hadn't been so neatly together for a long time, Yuan Chao also watched their reunion cordially.
"Today, we must have an important arrangement to bring everyone who is busy from all over the world together, I believe you have all guessed, that is, to discuss the establishment of the Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce." Yuan Chao sat on the main seat and said.
Even if they all guessed that it was this, the crowd below them also showed happy expressions.
The Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to burst out with stronger business competitiveness, and the fact that they are standing here today means that most of them will be fortunate enough to hold any important positions in this Chamber of Commerce.
Yuan Chao looked at their happy expressions, and then continued, "I have discussed with Wang Ze and others many times before about the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and I have not waited for the time to mature, this time I think the time is ripe, so today we will make good arrangements for the establishment of our Chamber of Commerce." ”
Everyone else listened to Yuan Chao's words with their ears pricked up, for fear that any important details would be revealed by themselves.
"This Chamber of Commerce, the first major thing, is to have a name, I have a name in mind, and it will be called Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce." Yuan Chao said the name without doubt.
Everyone else nodded, they were all from Chenzhuang, and naturally the name was very representative and distinctive.
Yuan Chao saw that everyone had no objections, so he continued. "With a name, there must be a specific place, and I decided to build a magnificent big chamber of commerce near the wharf south of Chenzhuang, which will be used as the main shop."
"In the north, in Dongxiangzhuang, Baoding Prefecture, the establishment of a northern branch shop."
"The south is in Nanjing, and the southern branch is established." These places that Yuan Chao said made Xu Kuan and Qian Yuyu's hearts even sweeter.
After all, the main active location of these two people was determined to be the location of the branches of the two markets in the north and south, which is also the owner's affirmation of his work.
"With a name and a location, naturally there must be some institutions and people." Yuan Chaoshun began to talk again.
Hearing the word personnel, the people standing below were both expectant and nervous. One ear after another will be erected to the sky.
"I have decided to have a president to take charge of all matters of the Chamber of Commerce. This important position is held by Wang Ze. Yuan Chao solemnly announced important personnel appointments.
Wang Ze, who heard the news, knelt down excitedly, although Wang Ze guessed that it would be himself, but he also guessed that it might be Yuan Bao, who was closer, or even Yuan Xu, this time Yuan Chao personally announced that it was himself, which also made Wang Ze excited.
Yuan Chao saw Wang Ze who was kneeling on the ground excitedly to thank him, and Yuan Chao also raised his hand to signal him to get up.
After seeing Wang Ze get up slowly, Yuan Chao began to announce again.
"There is a branch president in each of the north and south branches, who is in charge of various matters in the north and south branches. These two important positions, among which the president of the South Shop Branch is Xu Kuan, and the President of the North Shop Branch is Qian Yuyu. ”
"Plop, plop." As soon as Yuan Chao's words fell, there were two more kneeling sounds in the hall.
Yuan Chao saw that it was none other than Xu Kuan and Qian Yuyu.
These two people were also a little trembling with excitement, thinking about them, they also started from the end, they were inconspicuous small merchants and vendors, and finally they were discovered step by step and pushed to the top.
Yuan Chao didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly waved his hand to let the two of them get up, and the two of them also stood up from the ground with ink.
Then Yuan Chao spoke up again
"There is a transport team in this chamber of commerce, which is directly under the unified jurisdiction of the chamber of commerce, and the position of captain of the transport team is held by Chen Panhai."
After Yuan Chao finished speaking, Chen Panhai, who just wanted to kneel excitedly, saw Yuan Chao glaring at him fiercely, Chen Panhai did not dare to kneel down, but turned to bow heavily.
Yuan Chao nodded with satisfaction and continued. "You have the right to call the shots in the business matters of this chamber of commerce, and you can't decide to find me to adjudicate, but this business account, in addition to the accounts you do yourself, I also have to set up a separate supervisory body to audit the accounts and evaluate your work performance, this institution is held by Yuan Bao as a supervisor, and the agency hires several old account rooms with good conduct to undertake the audit matters, once the wrong account is found, you must find the relevant person in charge to ask, and if someone colludes to check the accounts, hide from the world, and hand them over to justice."
