Chapter 0053: Zombie Industry

The business that Jia Min is talking about is the long-distance routes he originally planned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is the line from the imperial capital to Wanping County, Daxing County, Changping Prefecture, and Tongzhou.

Among them, the route from Tongzhou to Chongwenmen is the most important.

Tongzhou is the starting point of the Grand Canal, and the world's goods enter the imperial capital, nine times out of ten, they will get off the ship in Tongzhou. Then he went to Chongwenmen and went to the hands of various dental shops.

At this time, the tooth shop was not just an intermediary agency for some housing and livestock transactions. Its main business scope and business volume are actually goods.

Because the goods that come from all over the world are in large quantities. Merchants from other places are not familiar with the local situation, and due to the constraints of time and payment, they basically do not deal directly with those small traders who are responsible for distribution. Instead, the goods are directly handed over to the dental store, and then distributed by the dental store to the small traders in the streets and alleys, and finally enter thousands of households.

Therefore, many dental shops are wholesalers. This is the main business of the dental shop.

This route, both in terms of the flow of people and the flow of goods, is very large.

In the past, transportation was undertaken by some individual retail investors, similar to a temporary taxi market, and the uncertainty of transactions was very strong.

What Jia Min wants to open is a shuttle bus with a fixed route and a fixed time, which is similar to the long-distance passenger shuttle bus and long-distance logistics shuttle bus in his previous life.

This alone makes it very competitive.

The reason why this matter was handed over to Feng Ziying and them was that their character was okay, and second, to run such a relatively large business, they still needed to have a certain ability. All of them are relatively well educated, have some business experience, and are relatively easy to get started.

Finally, and most importantly, it's time to tap into their connections.

After the business is launched, if you don't make money, no one will take care of you. When money is made, there are more people with red eyes. At this time, if you don't have a certain background, the government, gangs, all kinds of people, etc., will come to fight the autumn breeze.

This is the reason why many promising businesses cannot be done in the end.

After using Feng Ziying and other nobles to do this, the negative impact of this disadvantage can be minimized.

Although the noble family is in decline, it depends on whom.

For civil servants and some upstarts, it is indeed in decline. However, for ordinary petty officials, gangs, and even ruffians, it is still a behemoth, and it is not something that can be easily provoked.

In addition to the flow of people and logistics, the dissemination of information flow is also included in Jia Min's plan. In this era, there is no special non-governmental information transmission agency, in fact, in this regard, there is a huge market demand. Two of the more prominent ones are the transmission of business information and general interpersonal information.

As long as the personnel and vehicles are slightly integrated, they can assume this function, and this value-added service is also very profitable. Even if it doesn't bring in direct revenue, it can be a huge advantage in attracting people and logistics.

These things, where is Niu Jizong they can understand.

Therefore, in the matter of leaving Jia Min alone, what they showed was really not ordinary short-sightedness.

In the case of city buses alone, it is doomed to be impossible for them to make a profit in a short period of time with the money paid by the passengers.

In Jia Min's previous life, in cities large and small around the world, how many urban buses could make money? Almost all of them rely on government subsidies to sustain their operations, not to make money, but to provide a public service.

To give a very specific example, the car owner embezzled the passengers' money, which is very tricky.

No matter how many managers you have, you can't follow every car, if you set up another conductor, not only increase the expense, but also occupy an extra parking space, besides, how to ensure that the conductor is not greedy?

Jia Min believed that Niu Jizong had not foreseen many specific problems like this, let alone any solutions.

Therefore, he predicted that Niu Jizong would support them for three months at most, and as soon as the cash flow was cut off, he would go out of business. At that time, it was time for him to take over.

However, if he takes over, will he be able to make a profit? Of course, who will lose money?

Now to start the operation of long-distance lines, one is to make money, and the other is to use this successful case to build momentum for their future.

The third purpose is more obscure, it is to divide the small circle of Niu Jizong.

Jia Min wants to establish his own mountain and sphere of influence in the noble circle.

Of course, this purpose cannot be said on the surface.

After listening to Jia Min's general idea, Feng Ziying agreed to Jia Min's plan almost without thinking.

Jia Min accounted for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% was divided equally between the three of them. Investments are also apportioned in proportion to shareholding. Major decisions must be approved by eighty-five percent of the equity, and Jia Min still enjoys a veto.

In the end, it was determined that the total share capital was 30,000 taels, Jia Min contributed 9,000 taels of silver, and the rest contributed in proportion.

The general arrangement has been decided, Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan left, they want to inspect the situation of each route, discuss the purchase of houses, customize vehicles and other matters. After coming up with a plan, it will be handed over to Jia Min for decision.

A large number of specific things, Jia Min no longer needs to run by himself, he only needs to make the final check.

Now, it is already July, and in mid-to-late August, that is, after August 15, agricultural production in the north will enter the harvest season, and the harvest of the year will be basically set. An agricultural production cycle is over.

At that time, it was time for Jia Min to seize control of the entire agricultural industry in Jia Province.

The entire industry of Jiafu is actually relatively large. From this point alone, it proves the glory of Jiafu ancestor.

Regionally, it is mainly distributed in two parts.

One is in his hometown of Jinling.

There are still old houses, some land and shops. Today, however, there is a growing divergence. In recent years, Jinling has rarely handed over property to the government.

The reason for this is said to be the poor harvest and poor business conditions. Profits are spent on the maintenance of the house and personnel expenses.

In fact, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that money is mainly made people greedy. Under the noses of the masters, Lai Da, Lai Sheng and others dared to fill their pockets, not to mention that the Emperor of Jinling Mountain was far away.

Industries in the north are mainly concentrated in the cities and surrounding villages.

Among them, Rongguo Mansion has more than a dozen Zhuangzi in the countryside, with 17,800 acres of land. Basically, it is mainly plantation. The products handed over to the government are basically grains, vegetables and a small number of special products, such as roe deer, mushrooms and other mountain delicacies. Mainly in kind, plus a small amount of silver.

The rest of the industry is some shops and houses in the city. There are two pawnshops, one medicinal herb shop, one car shop and one warehouse. Several shops are added together, and the annual profit is about 10,000 taels of silver. 、

The industry of Ningguofu is basically the same as that of Rongguofu. The annual profits of the two families together are about 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver.

This income refers to the official income of the two prefectures, that is, the income that goes into the official treasury of the prefecture.

As for the masters in the house, in addition to the underage girls and Baoyu, Jia Huan Jia Lan, etc., the adult ones, such as Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Jia Yu, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, etc., all have their own private properties, and the final income has also gone into their own small treasury.

Later, when raiding the house, only from Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver were copied, which is enough to show the abundance of the personal small treasury.

Later, during the funeral of Jia's mother, she was short of money everywhere and borrowed money everywhere, and when Jia Zheng sent Jia's mother's coffin back to the south, he even had to borrow 500 taels of silver from his slave Lai Shangrong on the way. This shows the embarrassment of the financial situation.

In fact, even at that time, Jia Fu was not necessarily unable to come up with money. According to Jia Min's analysis, the so-called lack of money is just that the officials of Jiafu have no money and no public funds. However, there is still private money for each master, and there is a lot of it. It's just that no one wants to take it out.

Why is no one willing to pay anymore? As soon as Jia's mother died, the banner that maintained the Rongning Second Mansion fell, and the people's hearts were completely scattered, and everyone took care of everyone.

When Jia Mu was here, she could also rely on her seniority and prestige to unify the two mansions under her own banner to a limited extent. As soon as she died, even the interior of the Rongguo Mansion fell apart.

Mrs. Xing, who has always been low-key, dared to do it against Mrs. Wang. The most typical is that Wang Xifeng's daughter Sister Qiao married the vassal king.

Mrs. Wang is also a master of house fighting, but she is only engaged in some conspiracies and tricks. This is different from Jia Mu's royal methods. Without the prestige and status of Jia's mother, and without the legitimacy of Jia's mother's power scheme, it is naturally difficult to be in charge of the family and cannot convince the public.

The entire Jiafu is currently in such a state, from top to bottom, with the public monthly rules, everyone harms the public and private together. There are also Jia Yu, Jia Lian and the like, who take public salaries and do private work by themselves. Wang Xifeng embezzled public funds and lent usury.

The same is true of the stewards and some of the stewards. A large amount of land, which was supposed to generate profits, did not produce the benefits it should have. It has become a tool for a small group of people to pursue their own interests.

Those land, shops and other assets can't afford to die and can't live, and they have become an out-and-out zombie industry. sucked the blood of the Jia family bit by bit, until only a skeleton remained, with a huge shell, but the inside was already rotten. As soon as there is a gust of wind, it will fall with a bang.

Therefore, if you don't solve the problem of these zombie industries of the Jia family, even if Jia Min makes more money, it is for those who are insatiable. They have countless ways to transfer money to their own small coffers in the shortest possible time, and then there are countless ways to squander it.

These people are purely addicted to death.

It is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect them to change in a short period of time. Because their values are deep-rooted. The inertia of their habits is enormous.

Only by controlling the economic lifeline, completely cutting off their black hands that reach out to the wealth of Jiafu Gongzhong, and then transforming the power structure and ecology of Jiafu, can the problem of Jiafu's demise be solved.

This problem is the real challenge that Jia Min faces. As for doing a few projects to make money, for him, it's just a matter of having fun by the way.
