Chapter 283: That's Not How Business Works
() When the time comes, they will join the lineup of auctioning land, and naturally it is not only these businessmen in Danyang. The press conference of Xincheng still has to go to Yicheng and Ningyuan. Not to mention anything else, in Yunzhou alone, there are quite a few people who are determined to have their own place in Gondor City. At this time, Golan, who was bringing another group of people and a lot of woolen textiles to Danyang, was one of them.
Yunzhou locals have more advantages than outsiders. On the one hand, Yunzhou is their hometown, and they are naturally more concerned about their own affairs, and they are more looking forward to this gorgeous Gondor than the new capital city in the future. On the other hand, it is also because a lot of news about Xincheng cannot be hidden from the locals, and everyone will inevitably be more adequate in preparation, especially in terms of capital preparation, than the families, wealthy families and merchants from other places. When the time comes, it is not interesting to hold an auction in Danyang, it is very opinionated, it is not that Tan Weixin communicated with them, explaining the situation of right and wrong, maybe someone will really take the lead in making a statement.
In Yunzhou, the one who pays the most attention to protecting the interests of the locals and shouts and cheers for the locals everywhere is Golan. Originally, he was just a tribal leader, but since Yunzhou belonged to Dongping, and he became the head of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, he made more and more friends because of his easy and bold personality, and now he has become a representative of the local forces in Yunzhou. He didn't have much of a problem with Ye Tao sharing the benefits of Gondor's future development with people in other places. The funds needed to build the city of Gondor are so large that they can almost build Danyang twice, which is indeed difficult to solve by Yunzhou's local self-raising. But he did gather a large number of local families and merchants in Yunzhou and raised an extremely considerable amount of funds. It is planned to put a considerable part of the more than 500 plots into the hands of the locals, plus the land left in the hands of Jinglufu, to ensure that Gondor is still a city of Yunzhou people. In the absence of anyone's advice, Golan actually came up with something similar to a private equity fund, except that this private equity fund has no stocks and a risk market to invest in, but invests in the real estate industry, and the division of shares of this private equity fund is actually very standardized. The cāo also looks pretty good on the surface.
It is worth mentioning that the Dai family, who has always wanted to keep a low profile, has also accounted for a large amount of this huge private equity fund this time. The Dai family wanted to gradually downplay the impression that they were in control of Yunzhou, and they kept withdrawing their hands from various fields, but what they didn't expect was that the Dai family seemed to be difficult to do. Dai Yun is now the head of the headquarters of the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion, and is the de facto supreme commander of all the armies in Yunzhou. In the implementation of the plan of the 50 battalions, the number of the Yunzhou army was certainly decreasing, but the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhou army was increased by more than one level. Among these 50 battalions, more than one-third of the battalions are headed by the Dai family or people related to the Dai family. Although the Dai family wants to keep a low profile, they just can't do it, and Golan shows off his good horse who travels thousands of miles. On the one hand, he raised money from the Dai family for this private equity fund, and almost every three days he ran Tianling Fort from the current official center of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, Thunder Cliff, and he followed Dai Shiheng, Dai Shining and others wherever they went, and in the end, Dai Jiasuo put his heart on the side and invested all the funds they had raised from various fields in the recent period except for part of it to renovate Tianling Castle. I think it's also because, since it can't be low-key, Suo Xìng will be high-profile to the end.
However, in the operation of the first batch of woollen textiles, Golan, who had little experience in this matter, was almost put on the table.
"Ye Jingluo, this businessman's work is really not easy to do." On the night of the press conference, Golan ran to Zhengyuan with a lot of things to find Ye Tao. The chefs in Zhengyuan are really not very good, but Zhengyuan has good wine at any time. Gray goose jīng wine is self-explanatory. And those amber sè that only occasionally appeared in the place where Ye Tao was there, seemed to be a liquid that shone with golden light. More appealing. In front of Ye Tao, the Yunzhou economic envoy who is much younger than his son, Golan did not have the attitude of relying on the old and selling the old in the face of young people, nor did he have the restraint in facing the superiors. Naturally, a person like Golan, even when he talks about Xiaopei in the face of the lord of Dongping, will also laugh and laugh, but there is really no restraint towards the superiors.
"Old chief, what's the trouble again?" Ye Tao asked with a smile. These friends in Yunzhou are much more straightforward and easy to get along with than those ministers in the court. Although he had heard about the old chief's recent situation, Ye Tao felt that it should still be very interesting to hear him say.
"Why don't you talk to the merchants about the price of those woolen textiles? Thanks to your blessing, the sample arrived in Danyang last month, and those businessmen were interested, but when they talked about it, they felt that it was wrong, and then they came back to talk to those friends, only to find that they were surrounded by those people. If you follow what they say, not only will you not make money, but you will have to pay some shipping to it. Looking at this result, I was taken aback, I thought that this experience would make everyone in the Wolf Plains charge a little more, but I didn't expect that there would be so much money to do business. In the future, it will be handed over to the rabbit cubs of the Commerce and Trade Bureau, and they will recognize it after being plucked by the geese. Golan said dissatisfied.
Ye Tao laughed and said, "Don't let the people in the Commerce and Trade Bureau hear you say this, otherwise some will make trouble with you when you come back." Ye Tao poured a glass of wine for Golan and said, "Uncle Golan, didn't you say yes?" After the woolen textiles come out, they will be handed over to the Commerce and Trade Bureau for unified processing, why did you suddenly change your hexagram? The jurisdictions of several ministries in Yunzhou do overlap with each other, but it's not okay to change things that are good just like that? Moreover, the money for the construction of the weaving factory, the Commerce and Trade Bureau also has a share, why do you do these things yourself, and no one comes out to talk about you? ”
Golan was guided by Ye Tao to think about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Several bureaus in Yunzhou have been fighting each other because of the coordination of limited production resources and human resources, and there will be many classic episodes every time the Commerce and Trade Bureau, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Manufacturing Bureau meet. Obviously, they are colleagues who cooperate with each other more friendly, but when they have a meeting, they must have their own tricks. When Golan thought about it, he immediately felt that the Commerce and Trade Bureau did not make trouble for himself in advance this time, and it was not a combination of goodwill and resentment, and I am afraid that there was really some deep meaning in it.
"Hehe, isn't this trying to win more for your own people. Everyone was originally on the Wolf Plain, and they lived bitterly, although they were able to get some relief from Yunzhou, but after all, Yunzhou was an enemy on three sides, and he was not rich. Everyone fought too hard. Since the last great victory over the northern tribal alliance, and the annexation of Yunzhou to Dongping, the rì of the tribesmen has indeed been much better. There was salt and tea, and there were a lot fewer sick people during the year. However, after so many years of fighting, the population is withering, and we don't care if we fight again, we are holding iron and steel in our hands, and we are wearing armor on our bodies, and we are not shirtless and flesh and blood to fill them as before. Benwolf Plain, Yunzhou is our home. ......" said that, Golan became a little emotional.
In these rìzi, the improvement of the life and combat power of the Yunzhou tribe is obvious. Although the jīng soldiers of various ethnic groups were dispatched to form a professional army of more than 30,000 Jingyun cavalry, the Yunzhou side did not deliberately weaken the original combat power of the tribe, but used a large number of replaced ordnance to rearm the tribal cavalry, and also sent many old officers who had to retire due to age and health problems to teach the Yunzhou tribe to use ordnance, cāo as a ballista and other large gadgets, to help the tribal façade establish a safer and more reliable communication system and mobilization mechanism. In this life, the whole of Yunzhou and the whole of Yunzhou used the Invalids Ranch Farm to rectify the policy of reserving the mechanism. Considering that the cavalry of the northern tribes that the Yunzhou tribe had to face still had strong combat effectiveness, and the Yunzhou tribe originally operated according to different tribes, the support and benefits that were applicable to the Invalids Ranch were not missing them at all. And a large number of tribal children served in the army and in the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion, which also greatly improved the status of the tribesmen. Even under Golan's special attention, the education of the children of the tribe began to penetrate into the children of ordinary tribes from the original lack of resources, which could only focus on cultivating the heirs and leaders of the tribe through the education of Jīngying. Although some of the tribes that are not so close to the Golan are somewhat suspicious that they can only gather some children together for the time being, the Yunzhou tribes, which are now united by collective education and collective military service, have the same interests that are now and will be integrated because of the wool textile industry. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Yunzhou tribes will not distinguish between each other, and they will no longer distinguish who is from which tribe.
"Uncle Golan, come, I'll show you this." Ye Tao handed a document to Golan.
Golan glanced at it and said in surprise: "This is the income from selling horses this year?" ”
Ye Tao raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, after the People's Commerce and Trade Bureau has graded the horses for sale." Playing tricks again, and continuing to sell horses' teeth, the price of ponies, especially the price of excellent ponies, is exaggerated. And the old good horses they also sell, and after the stallion is marked, the price immediately multiplies. Although the stallions are mainly sold to Chūn South, there are no large horse farms. But I can't stand every family wanting to raise their own horses. But the people who sold the horses told them everything, they told them how to raise horses, how to breed them, how to grow up ponies, how to treat injuries and illnesses in horses...... Then he sold a large number of feed, tools, and medicines. But they don't elaborate on the relationship between soil and water and horses. Anyway...... Their tricks are something we can't figure out for the rest of our lives. These are only the funds that can be withdrawn by the tribe this year, and then it depends on Uncle Golan how you are going to distribute it when you go back, if you want to purchase something in large quantities, it is best to find them in the Commerce and Trade Bureau in advance. They have a closer relationship with the merchants, and the discounts are better when purchasing in bulk. ”
Golan smiled and said, "These guys. Now I lost face, jokes were made, and I even owed favors, and when I turned around and ran into Shi Wei, I had to be soft. The person your wife taught is really amazing, good at business, and great at life. ”
Ye Tao smiled noncommittally. He said, "There is a specialization in the art industry." You don't understand these tricks. I don't understand. ”
Goran smiled, and the embarrassment that had been expressed for a moment disappeared immediately. He nodded and said, "Ye Jingluo." One more thing. Just before I left for Danyang, a group of people found me. It's not those small tribes in Yunzhou, nor is it from the northern tribes, but it looks a bit like a certain tribe in Northern Liao. They looked poor, and they came to me directly, and almost got into a fight, because they asked me to buy tea, salt, and food. It doesn't matter if you sell them, it's up to you, we have been selling these things to the northern tribes in small quantities since last year, and it has indeed made some tribes less determined to follow the Kolka tribe. However, the sudden appearance of this tribe made me a little worried. Seeing how poor they looked, I was worried that they didn't have any money. I didn't expect them to come up with such good goods. Fine silver fox skin, herbs, ginseng...... These are nothing, you look at these. ”
Goran said, pulling out a small suede bag from his bosom and pouring the contents onto the table. Guan Huan, who was standing aside and drinking tea leisurely, also widened his eyes suddenly. It's really ...... That's a lot, a lot of gems.
The bag was full of full-grained, crystal-clear sapphires, twenty in total, each the size of a goose egg.
"It seemed inconvenient for them to carry gold and silver in large quantities, and they were still tentatively trading with us, and the stones were separated one by one, sewn into their clothes, and hidden in the saddle, but when they were taken out, I was also shocked. Originally, I was going to give you a gift when you married the little princess. Now, let's take it out and offer the treasure first, and I'll give you something else when I get back. Golan said briskly, and there was still a bit of ridicule when he mentioned the little princess.
"Northern Liao?" Ye Tao frowned and asked, "Uncle Golan, what are you going to do?" Maybe...... Maybe this is an important chess piece in the future when attacking Northern Liao. ”
"Needless to say? Naturally, I thought of this. I sent them a shipment. Because it seemed that they were going to pass through the territory of the Northern Liao West Route Army, there were some dangers, mainly tea and salt, and I didn't dare to bring more food, but I also sent a few reliable guys to follow them over to see if there could be any more cooperation in the future. ”
Ye Tao smiled and said, "Uncle, are you also getting more and more enlightened?" ”
