"Bai Gui does business, and he has always been a business. Otherwise! Where can he make such a big business? Isn't it? An old minister said.

"Yes! When I went to Korea with him before, he was the man! On the one hand, he is the foreign minister of Wei, and on the other hand, he is doing business. Taking the opportunity to go to South Korea to do business, he also did business by the way. That! I saw with my own eyes how he did 'no business'! ……”

"How did he do business without capital?" Another old minister asked.

"Hehehe!" King Wei Hui looked at the people below and laughed.

How Baekyu did business, he knew, and Baekyu didn't hide it. He is the only one who can do this business, and no one else can do it.

He promised to give others a higher price, but! And don't give money immediately. But! Wait until he takes the goods and sells them, and then comes back to give the money. But! Whether it is a loss or a profit, he counts his words, and when the specified time comes, he will absolutely cash in. Because of his integrity, others believe in him. Over time, he became a "businessless business".

Because of his integrity, he did all the business with these familiar people. As soon as it spreads ten, ten spreads, and hundreds spreads. So! With these people who believe in him, he no longer needs capital to do any business.

In addition to doing such a non-start-up accident, he also supports those who have craftsmanship but no capital to open workshops. He gave others the capital to open a workshop, and then helped others sell the goods. Naturally: he gave others the cost, and the products produced by others were sold by him "without capital". Wait until he sells the goods, and then give someone else money for the goods.

Is this also a "no-capital business"?

Because! This goods only has the money for raw materials, and the craftsman's handmade costs do not need to be paid first, and the craftsman will be given the profit when the goods are sold. So! The cost of this piece of goods can be imagined.

In addition to this, he also does business in partnership with the owners of the handicraft workshop. He doesn't have enough goods, doesn't he? He would have the owner of the artisanal workshop pull up his goods and trade them with him somewhere to sell. Such! The market is formed.

It's like going to the prairie to sell horses this time, he can't sell so many horses back with his ability alone. If he bought so many horses directly from the prairie and came back, he could get the capital, but this was not his style. So! He encouraged the steppe people to come with him and sell horses. Outcome! The market is formed.

If he were to sell 20,000 horses by himself, how much would it cost and manpower? Isn't it? After partnering with the grassland people, the grassland people not only transported the horses to Zhongshan Kingdom, but also did their best along the way. Isn't it? You can imagine how much this cost saved him.

So! This is Baekyu's business skills, his "business experience", and his way of doing business.

Other than that! He helped the small family workshops to sell goods together. For example! This trip involved transporting a batch of bamboo or wood to a distant market to sell, and he would encourage others to follow their caravan with him. It's the same as the horse trader, only! It's a small business. The general family workshop is too risky to sell alone, and it is not convenient on the road, but after traveling together, it is not only safe, but also more convenient.

In short! Because of his integrity, everyone believes in him and is willing to give him the goods on credit, so that he can sell them and then give money.

Because the business has grown, he can completely tear down the east wall and make up the west wall and fulfill his promise.

This is in the cost of goods, his "no business". In other aspects of transportation and operation, he can also achieve "zero cost". For example! The cost of shipping!

The people who transported him as a guard were all his diehards. These people! Most of them got his help when they were in trouble or desperate.

Bai Gui saved them, and they naturally wanted to repay the favor.

So! These people are also "rootless". As long as they are given the cost of eating on the road, it doesn't matter if the salary is paid or not. If you lose money, people are embarrassed to ask for it. Of course! He won't let these people do it in vain.

So! Everyone else is willing to give him a free job first, and only when he makes money is willing to receive his own salary.

In the war-torn era of the Warring States, how many people survived was a problem. And working for white officials, not only have food, but also receive a salary. So! The people who wanted to be his transport guards were all crushed.

Other than that! If the caravan encounters robbers or something on the way and dies unexpectedly, Baekyu not only gives a pension to the family of the deceased, but also takes care of the family of the deceased. Based on this alone, people with a conscience are willing to work for Bai Gui. Because! For Bai Guigan, even if he dies in an accident, his family will have someone to take care of.

The basic business of Bai Gui is all small business, that is, those small businesses in the market, groceries and the like. And he's still in big business! His main source of income is from doing big business.

Because the Great Zhou world was divided by the princes, it became an independent country. So! In terms of the flow of goods, it is often not smooth. Furthermore! Just in time for the princes to compete for hegemony, there are blockades and sanctions between countries. War came, and without merchants for the circulation of goods, the country might not have survived.

And also! What about natural disasters?

Because each vassal state is not very large, once a natural disaster comes, drought or flood, it can completely paralyze a small vassal state. There were no droughts or floods in other countries, but this was the case in this small vassal state. So! Without the help of merchants, the country was in danger of perdition.

In the Warring States Period, during this period of princely struggle for hegemony, other countries did not have a humanitarian spirit for the purpose of competing for hegemony. Not only will people not help you, but they may also take the opportunity to find a reason to destroy your kingdom.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it? It's not that people are inhumane, but! You don't do well, congenital disasters and man-made disasters. The suffering of the people is not for the princes and kings in the struggle for hegemony. And destroying the other country's country and expanding their own territory is their goal.

It is for this reason that the small vassal states have accelerated the rate of their demise.

And often when natural and man-made disasters occur, Bai Gui's big business comes. He has helped the country and will surely gain the trust of the king and the people of this country. You have no food, and I will give you food. Of course! It's not free! I give you grain, and you give me goods of corresponding value.

Where grain production is reduced, but where handicrafts and other places may not be reduced, they can produce normally. So! I will give you grain, and the normal market price will give you, can you give me your goods at a low price?

If it's low, then! The profit is coming.

In the face of famine, the importance of food needs not be overstated. Without food, people will starve to death. And when a man dies of hunger, what is the use of asking for money? Isn't it?

So! Often this time! In order to survive, the people voluntarily sold their goods at low prices in exchange for food. On the king's side, you helped them through the difficult times, and in the future, it would be unimpeded to do business in their country.

In short! Baekyu's business is done with integrity. If you don't make money and do business in a proper manner, you will naturally win the trust of the world. The next time I go, as long as the other party knows that you are Bai Gui, he is willing to give you credit and hand over his goods to you to sell first. Wait until you sell it, and then come back and give them money.

Bai Gui's businessless business is not only integrity, but also time! After a long time, integrity has withstood the test, and the world will believe in you completely.
