Chapter 20: The Beginnings of the Big Bang Business

Sun Datou has been crawling in the market for decades, and he is collecting protection money for these Dao Dao Sects.

Removing fifty percent of the income, it is still much more than Chengbu County, after all, the business here is too good, and the turnover is a month above the county seat.

Sun Datou is very good at things, not only agreed to Zhu Shunming's request to pay 50% of the tax, but also gave Zhu Shunming an additional dry shares.

With the participation of Zhu Demon King, who else dares to touch Uncle Sun's tiger whiskers in Jiu'an Town?

Zhu Shunming accepted this share, but he didn't ask for it in vain, he gave a thousand taels of silver and hung the shares in the name of He Changsheng, the son of the old man He, a domestic servant.

The two became partners, and the relationship naturally became intimate.

Regarding the special service industry, Zhu Shunming understands it too clearly. From the layout of the place to the training of personnel, from the skills of employees to the psychology of customers, from ISO to the thirty-six styles, the head of Sun was dumbfounded and called God and man.

Intrigued by the prospect outlined by Zhu Shunming, Sun Datou decided to expand his business and build a super-large, ultra-luxurious five-star entertainment venue in Jiu'an Town.

The name has both been thought of, "Guan Xiao Lou", which means "Wan Er Yixiao". When you arrive at Wanxiao Building, let you forget your troubles and just laugh.

As for whether Zhu Shunming is nostalgic for something, only he knows.

………………

With Sun Datou taking the lead, many merchants who fancy business opportunities have entered Jiu'an Town, making this desolate place increasingly lively.

Zhu Shunming welcomes these merchants very much. He only has one requirement, to pay taxes and operate in accordance with the law.

………………

"Husband, the expenses are too big now." Li Cuiwei has completely entered the state of Mrs. Zhu, with Zhu Shunming as the core in everything.

The large-scale construction of Jiu'an Town, spending money like running water, and the silver is decreasing day by day, Li Cuiwei is a little anxious.

"How's the financial situation now? What needs to be addressed? Zhu Shunming asked.

As Mrs. Zhu, Li Cuiwei naturally took on the responsibility of finance. Li Cuiwei, who was originally literate and quite talented, was trained in Zhu Shunming's brief financial knowledge and became familiar with Arabic numerals, and now she is extremely proficient and proficient in financial accounting.

And with this modern double-entry bookkeeping, few accounts can be falsified.

"In less than half a year, more than 100,000 taels of silver have been spent. There are still a number of projects under construction that require continuous investment. Li Cuiwei worried: "If this continues, the silver we have on hand will support us for a year at most." By that time, so many people, how good is the food and clothing? ”

"Only spent 100,000 taels? It's also too slow to spend money. ”

Zhu Shunming's words made Li Cuiwei half angry. She was worried for a long time, and the main owner thought that the speed of spending money was too slow.

"Whatever you want," Li Cuiwei gave him a roll of her eyes angrily: "When the time comes, there will be no food to eat, and you can't squander my dowry." ”

Li Cuiwei's coquettish eyes made Zhu Shunming's heart messy. He hugged Li Cuiwei and moved skillfully.

"Hey, don't mess around, broad daylight...... No way...... Oops......"

In the middle of the night, Li Cuiwei struggled to get up, her face was crimson, and she didn't know whether she was excited or shy.

"You're a faint king. Actually...... "......She was too shy to speak.

Zhu Shunming is lazy, and he fully accepts Li Cuiwei's lazy demeanor and flirtatious mood.

"Seriously, what the hell are you going to do? The clothing, food, housing and transportation of tens of thousands of people are not a joke. Li Cuiwei said.

"It's okay, you think that the more than 1,000 soldiers under our command are all eating rice?" Zhu Shunming's tone was tinged with a chill.

"You don't want to learn from our father," Li Cuiwei said worriedly: "Our father fights all the way and runs all the way and robs all the way, we are different." We want to gain a foothold here, take root, and not ruin our reputation. ”

It's really a woman's heart outward. has only been married to Zhu Shunming for half a year, and she looks down on what her father did.

"Don't worry, I won't move troops until I have to." Zhu Shunming said with a smile: "Surrendering without a fight is the best policy." ”

"It's the factories you manage, increase horsepower production, and if there are not enough people, they will continue to recruit, and they can't be idle."

"I was about to say this," Li Cuiwei was a little worried: "We produce so many clothes, shoes and socks, who do we sell them to?" There has been a large backlog. It's all white silver. ”

was a young cardamom girl, but she was forced by Zhu Shunming to become a miser who must be compared.

………………

Unexpectedly, the economy was forced to develop so quickly, and Zhu Shunming was a little caught off guard. Underestimating the creativity and hardship of people in this era.

Li Cuiwei and Ruyu have a jade garment factory under their names. The garment factory is divided into design, drawing, cutting, sewing, ironing, quality inspection, packaging and other processes in accordance with Zhu Shunming's mention, semi-assembly line operation, and the whole garment making process.

Subdivided, sewing alone has nine processes. Sleeves, plackets, shoulder liners, collars, pockets, buttons, assemblies...... Different processes have different people, which greatly simplifies the technical content of garment making. As long as you know a little bit of female popularity, you can do it.

Is there a woman in Daming who won't be popular? Then she can still get married?

Each person sews only one part a day, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. This, coupled with the piece-rate wages implemented in garment factories, has skyrocketed the motivation of workers.

Li Cuiwei recruited more than 200 women, and the daily output of ready-to-wear reached more than 400 pieces. Except for the procurement of military uniforms by Zhu Shunming's army, the rest of the ready-to-wear garments were all put on the market.

The quality, price and style of the garments of the Jade Garment Factory are very attractive, and a rush to buy was once formed in Jiu'an Town. But the market in Jiu'an Town was too small, and in less than two months, clothing sales were in trouble.

After all, in this day and age, new clothes are still luxuries, and not everyone can afford to wear them.

"Domestic demand is not enough...... Zhu Shunming sighed.

Not only ready-to-wear, but also the sales of other goods have hit a bottleneck.

The hoes and sickles of the harvest farm tool factory, the kitchen knives, crochet needles, sewing needles and iron nails of the Chaoyang Hardware Factory, the books such as "The Book of Three Characters" and "Hundred Family Names" printed by Chuang'an Publishing House, and the straw shoes, cloth shoes and leather shoes of Wanli Shoe Factory...... Most of them have hit sales bottlenecks.

These factories are the results of Zhu Shunming's investment promotion.

For the businessmen who came to Jiu'an Town to set up shops and factories, Zhu Shunming welcomed them vigorously. He will also invest real money, land, advanced management experience, advanced vision and technical goldfingers.

With his allocation, the production capacity of the factory in Jiu'an Town has grown by leaps and bounds, and the merchants have made a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, in just three months, I encountered a sales bottleneck.

The territory of Jiu'an Town is too small, the scope of radiation is not large, and the strength of merchants is also very weak, so they cannot sell goods outside Chengbu County. Even Baoqing Mansion and Wugang Prefecture cannot be entered, let alone Changsha Mansion, Wuchang Mansion, and Jiangnan.

Only the construction industry and the tertiary sector are thriving.

Sun Datou invested a lot of money to build a four-storey building in the northwest of Jiu'an Town, with pavilions, carved beams and paintings, exquisite carving, and extreme luxury.

He also invited a few outdated Oiran from Changsha Mansion at a high price, and trained them in accordance with the Daming ISO, and tried his best to "enjoy it like an emperor".

As soon as the "Guanxiao Building" opened, it was immediately full of guests. The great demand and super consumption capacity make "Guan Xiaolou" continue to be driven day and night, and become a major scenery in Jiu'an Town.

In less than half a month, the name of Wanxiaolou spread to Baoqing Mansion. There are good deeds who come to visit, and afterwards shout, "It turns out that there is still this kind of enjoyment, it is worth this trip, it is worth this life......"

Word of mouth has gradually expanded the fame of Wanxiaolou. The arrival of a large number of wealthy businessmen has promoted the vigorous development of the service industry.

The development of the construction industry is even more barbaric and crude.

Zhu Shunming relied on investment to boost the economy. He dug a lot of ditches, built roads, built houses, barracks, dikes, and reservoirs, and needed all kinds of astronomical building materials.

Green bricks, wood, stone, red tiles, lime, triple clay...... As long as the merchant brings in building materials, there is nothing that cannot be sold or sold at a price.

From Chengbu County to Jiu'an Town, the road is full of cars, horses and pedestrians. The look of eagerness and confidence indicates that the economy is booming, and that a new economy is emerging.

Zhu Shunming's tolerance and even connivance with businessmen, high salaries and benefits for ordinary people, and relaxation and huge investment in the economy once collided violently with the current thinking and lifestyle of the Ming Dynasty.

There has never been such a relaxed and liberal economic environment.

In the "Commercial Regulations of the Provisional Regulations of Jiu'an Town" that Zhu Shunming participated in formulating, there are very few regulations on the control of commerce, and there are only a few.

For example, it is necessary to report, apply for a business license, comply with industry standards and behaviors, etc. There is no mention of the admission system, hoarding, buying and selling on behalf of others and other crimes.

Most importantly, you must pay your taxes in accordance with the rules. For merchants who settle in Jiu'an Town, Zhu Shunming has to charge taxes ranging from 10% to 50%. Even the jade garment factory was not immune.

In order to collect taxes, Zhu Shunming set up a tax bureau and a tax police brigade with disabled veterans as the backbone. Any tax evasion and evasion must be severely punished.

This is diametrically opposed to the discrimination against merchants in politics and social status, and the relaxation and even laissez-faire of taxation in other parts of the Ming Dynasty.

On the one hand, the businessmen enjoyed the relaxed commercial and residential atmosphere of Jiu'an Town, and on the other hand, they were super resistant to the harsh tax policy of Jiu'an Town.

In Jiu'an Town, it will not be against the rules to travel in a sedan chair and wear silk and satin, and it will not be morally condemned to eat and drink delicacies from the mountains and seas, and to sit and lie in high-rise buildings.

But as long as there is tax evasion, you will definitely be punished with painful heartache and bitter tears and repentance.

For this reason, many businessmen who were originally excited were frightened by the harsh tax policy of Jiu'an Town, and once waited and did not dare to enter.

Soon, these wait-and-see businessmen began to regret it.

The taxes in Jiu'an Town are harsh. But apart from taxes, there is no other way to eat and take cards. The point is that business in Jiu'an Town is really good.

Nearly 10,000 people gathered in a poor and white place, with silver in their pockets, and a very strong desire to consume.

The merchants who entered Jiu'an Town in the early days, whether it was a grocery store or a grain and oil store, whether it was a restaurant or a teahouse, even if it was a merchant who sold needlework and gouache, the business was super hot, and everyone made a lot of money. That's what a tax is.
