Duan Zhengchun is still the emperor of Dali, Duan Yu has not yet become a well-known person, and it is difficult for the traversal to focus on researching whether Duan Yu will have a six-vein divine sword and a yang finger. However, the Southwest Tobacco Company and the Jade Jewelry Company under the Crossing Crowd were already enclosing the land, and just after the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fifth year of Yuan You, Sun Chang gave each Crossing a fist-sized jade ornament and a gemstone belt buckle as a gift.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Li Ji asked why he received a crystal belt buckle, while Qian Jin and the others were all red, blue and green. Sun Chang said that this crystal is the latest production of the first batch of optical artificial crystal products produced by the Institute of Materials, which is of great commemorative significance and worth a huge amount of money, so it is natural to show it. The gems obtained by others are just the best of the natural gems mined from the many mines in Dali, which obviously have no meaning compared to the traversal who are destined to be worth more than one trillion yuan in the future, just a small plaything.

"How big is the caravan in Dali, has it exceeded the trade caravan in Tibet under our control?" Wang Neng is in charge of the affairs of the trading company, so it is natural that he will receive the attention of the traversal.

"Since half a year ago, the caravan that can sell matches best in Kangding has been transferred to Dali, and the Dali trading company we have built has more than 500 people, they are all business experts who have passed the test, and each person can earn an average of more than 500 dividends and salaries after three months. Although it is still inferior to the scale of the 1,820 people directly under the Tubo Trade, the profit can be said to be more than 2 times higher! ”

"You mean that the per capita output value of the Dali team is more than 6 times that of Tubo? How is this possible? Liu Xin is very sensitive to numbers, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"You don't want to think about what Tubo can export, except for Tibetan knives, turquoise, beeswax stone, Cordyceps, snow lotus, Chuanbei, safflower and other medicinal materials, and some yak yogurt cheese, air-dried meat, Tibetan antelope cashmere and other goods with an annual output of less than 1,000 tons, I am most optimistic about the goods are barley wine and matsutake mushrooms. We still need to make up a lot of stories to sell in our restaurants. The amount of tea, salt, textiles, copper and iron utensils, knives and axes, and grain that we export every year is a bulk commodity, and the huge difference cannot be filled by the little gold and silver produced in Tibetan areas and the Tibetan horses that are not in high demand. ”

"You like to change the concept again, we are still profiteering by half of the price cut, who doesn't know the power of our industrialized assembly line, although you do the accounts as if the price is struggling to maintain a small profit on the edge of the loss, but I will not forget the great work of tax evasion, Lao Liu's skills in making fake accounts are still not as good as you.

Dali is rich in production, and the previous people did not have our scale and prophetic ability, so they naturally did not know the source and processing methods of those huge profits, and it was acceptable to not be so profitable and large-scale as us. Dali does not collect taxes on tea and the influence of the purchase policy, half of the tea we export to the northwest and Tibet comes from Dali. There are also high-end building materials factories around the country to accept marble and stone is also a very profitable bulk commodity. The copper ore we mine in the enclosure is also an artifact to balance the trade deficit. Copper ingots supplied by several smaller wet copper smelting factories are also selling well, and copper imports from the Lijiang area are very popular in the Huanghuai region. The purchase of medicinal herbs and edible mushrooms is also very large, accounting for almost 76% of our internal consumption, and the consumption of subordinate restaurants and partner restaurants reaches 5,000 tons a year.

Of course, the most profitable is the mining and processing of gemstones, and the jewelry sold every year is almost all imported except for gold from Shandong, silver from Tangzhou on Jingnan Road and pearls from the coast. The annual output value is at least tens of millions of profits! Dali surprised us in the first year, the price of the gems we bought cheaply from the indigenous tribes who did not know how to process gems and the many wealthy families in Dali who accumulated raw gem ore was at least hundreds of millions of yuan. Of course, this is only the current market price, if we wait until the common people become rich and the industrial revolution is completed, this batch of processed and unprocessed raw ore is worth at least more than 5 trillion yuan. There are hundreds of ruby sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, and there are dozens of tons of hundreds of kilograms of fully open jadeite ore, and what yellow dragon jade, agate, and lapis lazuli are piled up into mountains.

The first time I saw the pile of raw processed and polished ore in the warehouse, I thought it was slag, and almost scolded the warehouse supervisor, but after turning on the bright light, I realized that I originally thought that the supervisor was a waste of warehouse space waste The idea was a joke, and the mountain of jadeite and gems almost blinded my kryptonite eyes.

It was a hundred times more exciting than the first time I saw the piles of gold bricks and ingots in the underground vault of our bank headquarters. Later, when I saw those gold bricks, I felt like I saw the copper ingots in a metal warehouse, and the dulled feeling deepened my understanding of money a lot. ”

"Oh, and that benefit? I'm going to try it too, and every time I see a platinum crucible in the lab, I feel the urge to touch two handfuls, and I don't believe that the sight of a gem mountain will ignore precious metals. ”

"That's not right, you said that Dali's trade profits are so high, the things you buy are all treasures, and the things you sell are necessities and ordinary materials, so the profits shouldn't be only six times that of Tubo?"

"The settlement price must not be compared with the final price of the finished product, if the purchase price of the raw ore is 50 guan, the price of the caravan to sell to our jewelry company will not exceed 400 guan! But 10,000 pieces of jewelry is considered very low. Think about it, a basketball-sized jadeite ore sells for 5,000 yuan, and there are at least 300 high-grade steel axes or 1,000 iron pots for the iron tools and swords needed by the Dali tribe. The 10,000-fold profit is very common in the jewelry industry and the trade in the primitive accumulation stage, and the 10,000-fold profit in the stone gambling game is only relatively high, not the highest multiple.

Why do we want a bunch of useless stones, not to make money to build an industrial system and a modern civilization, now we are just concentrating on the development of the most profitable industries, and when the environment is mature in the future, we can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by casually engaging in a spirulina industry. Gao Jing interjected artistically, revealing the universality of profiteering while emphasizing that the importance of Dali's trade was only in the trade of a few gemstone varieties.

"I heard that a couple of caravan mates accidentally fell from their boats into the river while crossing the river and drifted away with the current?" Yang Wenhui suddenly asked Wang Neng.

"I also handled last month's incident in accordance with the company's regulations, and the pension has already been paid."

"I'm not asking you what to do with this! What I mean is that we should carry out resource surveys and geological scientific expeditions throughout Dali to make some preparations for road construction and bridge building in the future? ”

"Yes, those losses could have been avoided, and although it is difficult to build a bridge across the river, we can still make preparations first. With the bridge, it will be very convenient to transport goods and enter and exit the country. Liu Jiao is ready to start building wireless base stations, and it is not easy to build a communication tower on the top of Gaoligong Mountain.

"I know, just expand the size of the caravan, add a few geography students to practice, it turns out that there are not enough people in the prospecting team, and it is difficult to find the Huanglong jade mine, and the drawing of the map is still very time-consuming."

"It's not easy to say that this caravan is not easy! It is necessary to collect and analyze military and civilian information, as well as draw maps, prospect for mines, make animal and plant specimens, do business, buy informants and indigenous leaders, build commercial bases, plan the layout of future towns, work as engineers to build roads and bridges, dig holes and use them as warehouses, guide the indigenous people to grow tobacco and medicinal herbs, hunt, and resist bandits.

I'll go! Spend 1,500 a year to hire a master with many titles such as intelligence expert, geographer, biology expert, business negotiator, secret agent, construction expert, agricultural expert, mountain tactician and so on? When did senior compound talents become so worthless? Chen Guan first calculated the accounts, checked the cash check stubs issued by Dali Trading Company, and exclaimed after understanding the name of the reimbursement project.

"Our caravans are all specialized in one craft, and all other skills are learned on the road, and each detachment is fifty people, each of whom is a teacher of the other forty-nine and a student of the other forty-nine. This kind of efficient allocation of human resources and the cultivation of compound talents are also invented by BOSS! Squeezing out every ounce of the ability of employees is the ultimate goal of all bosses! Zhao Shouzhong raised his wine glass and signaled that the table would open, and he could drink hundreds of kinds of wine on the table.
