Volume XVI Chapter 26 Business Development

Zhu Cijiong is also satisfied with the prosperity of Chang'an Avenue, but he always feels as if something is missing, what is the most common prosperous street in later generations?

Soon, he fell into deep thought, and the scenes of the afterlife flashed through his mind, and when everyone saw him like this, they even stopped the action of picking vegetables, for fear of disturbing him.

Why can't you remember? At this time, someone opened the heavy curtain and walked in, Zhu Cijiong looked at the dark street outside, and then looked at the lobby that seemed like daylight, and finally remembered that what was missing on Chang'an Street was the street lamp!

This night is dark, except for the four major numbers and the Chang'an Restaurant, which is brightly lit, and other places are at most a few gas dead wind lamps, the light is very dim, who is in the mood to walk on the street.

And during the day, ordinary people have to work, there is no Saturday and Sunday holiday at this time, only to the New Year's holiday everyone has time to go outside, so it is too unfavorable to consumption, if you can make use of the night time, the consumption of ordinary people will at least double or more, in this way, the economy of Daming will usher in a round of explosive growth!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but be excited, it just so happened that the first secretary of the Ministry of Commerce was here, and he decided to make a good allocation of this person at the helm of the Ming economy.

He first greeted cordially: "Come, come, don't be stunned, eat, eat, eat, by the way, why didn't you serve wine, come to a bottle of wine." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he immediately recruited a junior and said a few words in his ear.

Soon, the little two came running over with a bottle of wine and six glasses.

Similarly, Cao Huachun poured a little first and tried it, and felt that there was no problem, so he poured it full for everyone one by one.

Zhu Cijiong rarely drinks alcohol, but he is happy today, so he raised his glass without hesitation and said, "Come, I will toast everyone." “

With that, he raised the wine glass to the middle, and everyone quickly stood up and touched him gently, and when everyone finished touching, he raised his head without hesitation and dried it up.

Everyone hurriedly raised their wine glasses, drained them in one gulp, and then sat down carefully.

As the saying goes, wine is bold and intimidating, and ordinary people talk a lot after drinking, Zhu Cijiong felt that these people were too dull, so he simply toasted three glasses in a row!

Now someone is dizzy, although this is a small cup of half a tael, three glasses of wine is more than one or two, and Luo Yang's nature makes people take the best aged tribute wine, and the general amount of wine is really unbearable.

Zhu Cijiong, Cao Huachun, and Wang Zhengnan are all martial arts practitioners, so this bit of wine is naturally not a problem;

Luo Yangxing is also a member of the alcohol battlefield, and one or two just gargle his mouth;

Chen Zilong and Zhang Cai are not good, although the literati often sing about wine, but it is generally low-alcohol wine, like such a high number, drink so fiercely, it is strange that they are not dizzy.

Chen Zilong couldn't help but praise at first: "Good wine, this Chang'an restaurant really deserves its reputation, I have never drunk such a mellow wine!" “

As soon as he said this, Luo Yangxing began to break out in a cold sweat again, because this is the tribute wine given to him by the emperor, you can drink it, what kind of Chang'an restaurant is it.

Zhu Cijiong saw his frightened look, and couldn't help but comfort: "Is the tribute wine also used to drink, and you can't make money when you put it there, you have a good idea, how much does this wine sell for a bottle?" “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he replied honestly: "One hundred taels!" “

As soon as these words came out, everyone else was shocked, it turned out that they drank more than ten taels in a few sips, where is this wine, it is simply golden juice!

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said, "It's too little, do you know?" This kind of wine, in continental Europe, costs at least 1,000 taels a bottle, and it has to be auctioned to get it. “

When everyone heard this, their eyes were about to burst out, one thousand taels, one bottle, this is even more ruthless than robbing money!

Zhu Cijiong looked at Zhang Cai and asked with a smile: "Shouxian, you will be in charge of Daming's business after the year, what do you think?" “

Zhang Cai heard this, thought about it for a while, and then replied: "To put it bluntly, business here is a low buy and sell high, I think, first of all, we must establish household registration for merchants around the country, see what is abundant in each place, and what is lacking, and then according to the distance, guide the merchants to the right place to do business, so as to be conducive to their development." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded appreciatively: "Well, this idea is very good, but it should be considered separately." “

In fact, it would be good for officials at this time to think about doing business, but it is really difficult for them to think further deeply.

Zhang Cai only saw through the superficial buying low and selling high, how to promote business development, he really didn't have many ways, he sincerely asked: "Please also ask Huang Gongzi for advice." “

Although Zhu Cijiong is not a business wizard, he has seen a lot in later generations, and it would be great if he could develop the economy of the Ming Dynasty to the level of later generations.

He casually pointed out: "For example, in this production area, you can't just understand what they produce, but also think about how to help them improve quality, increase yield, and increase popularity." “

Yield and popularity can barely be understood, but what does this quality mean?

He couldn't help but ask embarrassedly: "Huang Gongzi, please forgive me for being stupid, what does the word quality mean?" “

Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a while, and said, for example: "This quality is actually how to make others feel that your things are good, such as wine, some people make rice wine, grain wine, and multigrain wine, the taste is not good, the taste is also poor, and the appearance is not good, it is good to make a small profit; Some people make tribute wine, with a rich fragrance and mellow taste, and then design a beautiful package to sell it for a large price. This is the difference in quality, the quality of those miscellaneous wines is not good, the quality of tribute wine is good, you have to find a way to make those who make miscellaneous wine closer to the tribute wine, this is called improving the quality. “

As soon as he explained like this, Zhang Cai finally understood, and seeing Zhang Cai nodded thoughtfully, he continued: "For example, there are many ways to sell, and organizing merchants to sell according to fixed trade routes is just the most basic, you can also establish large markets in various places to attract merchants, and you can also organize merchants to exhibit in various places, so that merchants can put their goods out and let everyone understand." “

This kind of thinking can be said to be the simplest in later generations, but no one has ever done it at this time, so Zhang Cai is simply drunk when he hears it, the emperor is really wise and powerful!

Seeing everyone's reverent gaze, Zhu Cijiong became more and more interested, and he continued to instruct: "It's not enough to just guide people to do business, you must also cooperate with other departments to develop new things, and the profits of new commodities are the most amazing." “

Everyone can't understand this again, what is the development of new products, and are there any goods in this world that everyone doesn't know that can be sold?

Zhu Cijiong saw everyone's puzzled expressions, and gave an example: "For example, this Chang'an restaurant, it's pitch black outside, but it's like daylight inside, what's going on?" Also, it's bitterly cold outside, but it's warm like spring inside, what's going on? “

Everyone knows that it's like daylight inside, but why is it warm like spring inside? There isn't a brazier in this lobby!

When everyone was puzzled, Luo Yang coughed embarrassedly, and said weakly: "Because it is equipped with the latest steam heat sink researched by the Ministry of Industry, you can see it by looking at the surrounding walls." “

Everyone looked around, and sure enough, there were a lot of strange things on the wall, all strung together with pipes, and the outside was protected by railings.

Zhu Cijiong said proudly: "Who doesn't want the night to be like day, who doesn't want the cold winter to be as warm as spring, these are the two new products I want to promote next, you think, this thing, it's not as much as you want to sell, there are a lot of people who want to sell it at ten times or even a hundred times the cost price." “

This example suddenly dawned on everyone.

Zhang Cai nodded thoughtfully, the emperor's teaching, he was more confident in the commercial development of the Ming Dynasty.
