Chapter 1042 Food, as much as you want

Datang Zhili Grain Company was soon established, and its company headquarters location was naturally chosen in Jinling, but it was not in the urban area, but in the suburbs, more precisely, the new development business district in the suburbs, which is not only the headquarters of the Zhili Company, but also the headquarters of the enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises with a large number of words "Datang".

In addition to the enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the headquarters of many powerful private companies have also been set up here.

After the Tang Dynasty fixed the capital of Jinling City, a large number of office yamen and the headquarters of enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises were also relocated to Jinling City, but because there were many yamen, there were many enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and it was difficult to arrange for a while.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty at that time wanted to establish a central business district and open up a separate urban area to house enterprises from all over the world, and at the same time accept some private enterprises, but found that it was too troublesome to do it in the urban area.

Why, because the area of the city is too small!

Although Jinling City was already one of the largest cities in this era, the area of the urban area was still quite small, and at the same time, when the Ministry of Industry was designing the renovation project of the imperial palace and the expansion project of the royal palace, it occupied a large area of the urban area, and then had to arrange many office spaces of the yamen, so the place in the urban area was a little nervous.

Later, it simply chose to set up a new business district outside the east city wall, near the wharf on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the overall design style is somewhat similar to the business area of the major trade ports, which are planned in advance, and after the completion of the basic construction, the major enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are directly moving the headquarters to the past.

However, in the beginning, there was only some infrastructure, and the headquarters buildings of major enterprises were some low-rise bungalows, and later major enterprises built their headquarters one after another.

So after a few years, in this new Dongcheng District, you can see an urban design that is different from most contemporary cities, because Li Xuan directly moved some of the urban plans of later generations.

Even those buildings are different, not the traditional kind of house design, there are no three-entrances, gardens and the like, but seemingly monotonous, but extremely tall lime brick houses, and generally more than two or three storey buildings.

Yanjiang Road, which is close to the Yangtze River, is built to be extremely wide, and on one side of Yanjiang Road, there are the headquarters of major enterprises.

The headquarters of many large enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, such as Jiangnan Arms Company, Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, Royal Bank, Datang Industrial Bank, Jiangnan Textile Company, and Datang Yangtze River Shipping Company, are located here.

In addition to all the enterprises owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, many powerful private enterprises also choose to set up their headquarters here.

It's simple, there's a force here!

The headquarters of the Naoli Textile Bank, which is strong and second only to the Royal Bank in the Gangnam area, is here!

In a short stretch of road, there are more than 50 headquarters of enterprises, and the assets of these enterprises start at least 500,000 taels of silver, and many even millions or even millions.

However, the enterprises along the river road, in general, are mainly enterprises belonging to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises or the Royal Assets Division, and there are relatively few private enterprises.

Especially in the business areas in the major treaty ports, private enterprises are piled in!

For example, in Shanghai's business district, there are naturally not many factories in a small business zone, but there are at least thousands of listed enterprises, and their strength is not weak.

Because of the trade area in the treaty port, the land is more expensive, and the cost of small companies working here is much greater.

When the Zhili Grain Company was established on Yanjiang Road, Jinling Xindongcheng District, it was very low-key and barely attracted much attention from the outside world, at most it attracted the attention of some grain merchants.

But it is only a little attention, because there are many enterprises opened by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises of Datang, and now there are hundreds of enterprises with the name of Datang, and there are even more state-owned enterprises with local names and local financial contributions.

And these enterprises, except that the investors are the imperial court, are no different from ordinary commercial companies, and they will not use official background identities for daily operations.

Therefore, gradually, those private enterprises will not regard these enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises as some kind of government yamen, and they will be afraid or something.

However, they do not know that the Zhili Grain Company is different from other enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and although this enterprise is nominally a normal commercial organization, in fact it does not do what ordinary commercial organizations do, but is more similar to an administrative organization.

And these businessmen also quickly knew that this company was different!

After the establishment of Zhili Textile Company, it was to carry out their first business: the purchase of grain!

The company took over the grain companies of the original state-owned enterprise department, so there is no shortage of channels, and there are basically branches in the four provinces of Zhili, so the purchase of grain is also carried out within the scope of the four provinces of Zhili.

It's normal to buy grain, all grain merchants will buy grain, but the price at which they buy grain is abnormal.

This is because the prices of grain purchased by the Zhili Grain Company are different in the four provinces of Zhili, but they are all increased by a few percentage points in the local market, some are only increased by one percent, some are only two percent, and some are raised to more than five percent.

Don't underestimate these few percentage points, you must know that grain is a bulk cargo, and this purchase is a few tons, dozens of tons, or even hundreds of tons.

After seeing the Zhili Grain Company do this, many grain merchants just couldn't sit still, didn't it make it clear that they wanted to increase their acquisition costs!

Not to mention, the Zhili Grain Company is just to raise the local grain price!

Because the price of grain in the Jiangnan area is now a little low in the view of the Zhili Grain Company, many grain merchants, taking advantage of the autumn grain harvest, farmers sell a large amount of grain in exchange for cash to buy other daily products, and take the opportunity to lower the price.

This has caused a very common phenomenon in the feudal era, that is, during the grain harvest season, the price of grain is extremely low, but after a period of time, the grain is the period before the harvest, and the price price is extremely high.

In the eyes of the Zhili Grain Company, which regards stabilizing grain prices as its core task, this situation is abnormal and detrimental to the long-term peace and stability of the empire.

The grain price in this season needs to be raised a little bit, so as to avoid the poor farmers with a bumper harvest, and stimulate the local peasant households to plant more grain, rather than to plant cotton or the like, and at the same time, the price is slightly higher, which can also attract grain merchants in the Huguang area to traffic grain over, thereby stimulating the grain output in the Huguang area.

At the beginning, the other grain merchants could still sit still, and I will watch you harvest, the grain output in Jiangnan is so large, see how much you can collect!

When you run out of funds, we will continue to lower the price.

As the so-called you, you take yours, I take mine, each has nothing to do with it!

But what they don't know is that the funds of the Zhili Grain Company are far more abundant than them, and the two policy banks, the Royal Bank and the Industrial Bank, will provide the company with low-interest unsecured loans, with a total of 10 million taels of silver!

That's right, it's 10 million!

All the enterprises in the Tang Dynasty combined, no one can obtain such a high low-interest unsecured loan as the Zhili Grain Company.

Of course, these loans are also limited in use, and can only be used to purchase grain and stabilize grain prices, and 10 million is only the promised amount, not a one-time direct 10 million.

In addition, when the Ministry of Taxation collects taxes, it will also directly collect in kind, and the grain collected by the agricultural tax in the Zhili area is basically directly entrusted to the Zhili Grain Company for processing.

To put it bluntly, it means that you have money and food in your hands, and you are very awesome!

At the same time, they directly subordinate to the grain company can sell grain through more channels than ordinary grain merchants, and in most places they directly sell grain.

Moreover, the army and navy have officially decided that most of the military rations will be provided by the Zhili Grain Company.

At the same time, the official yamen in several other disaster-stricken areas have officially asked them for help and want to get a large amount of food!

This grain has not been purchased yet, and the payment has already been recovered in advance!

This buy and sell, not only did the funds not run out, but also made a lot of profits, but the overall profit margin is relatively low, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of people, and it doesn't make money from this.

Therefore, those grain merchants can see a very desperate thing, and the Zhili Grain Company keeps buying grain, and then transporting it to a place where there is a shortage of grain, and selling it at a normal price.

When harvesting grain, it is like a bottomless pit, as much as you want.

When you sell food, you will never run out, and you will have as much as you want!

And this price has not changed since the first day, it is said that it is this price, and it is this price when it is killed, it is slightly higher than that of grain merchants when it is purchased, and it is slightly lower than that of other grain merchants when it is sold.

This makes the local farmers happy, after the grain, it must be sold a part, or how to buy other farm tools, daily necessities and the like, this is the season of selling grain every year, will encounter the situation of grain merchants to reduce prices, and this year, there is a Zhili grain company to buy at a higher price than the market, although it is not much, but every grain of grain is they worked hard to grow, and it is a good thing to be able to sell a penny more.

In order to buy a few pennies more, some peasants would rather carry grain on a long mountain road and sell it to the purchasing station of the Zhili Grain Company, rather than sell it to those grain merchants who buy it at a low price.

The people in the grain-scarce areas have also benefited a lot, and finally they don't have to buy high-priced grain from those grain merchants, because the Zhili Grain Company has low-priced grain for sale.
