Chapter 39 The Mall
Yao Qisheng said: "In the north, our power is not big enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The four seas trading houses ventured into the northern market, just afraid that it would cause hostility from the Jin merchants. Under the intention of Jin merchants to make trouble, Sihai Commercial Bank was afraid that it would not be able to open the situation in a short time. In this case, it will not be conducive to the layout of the general! ā
Zheng Chenggong didn't expect it before, but as soon as Yao Qisheng reminded him, Zheng Chenggong understood.
Shopping malls are like battlefields!
For these businessmen, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
The large-scale entry of the Four Seas Commercial Bank into the northern market will definitely cause strong resistance from the Jin merchants.
In times of peace, there is nothing to do, it is useless to show their powers, or to do it secretly.
But now is the era of war, once the competition in the shopping mall is not successful, the Jin merchants are afraid that they will shout that Lai Qingjun will directly eradicate the business offices of the Sihai Commercial Bank in the north.
Yao Qisheng saw that Zheng Chenggong did not refute, so he continued: "If it is handed over to the Jin merchants to deal with, it is not only because of the relationship between the Jin merchants and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but I am not afraid that these goods will be banned. Moreover, businessmen are the most profitable, and for the sake of profit, they can disregard their lives and the overall situation. We maintain a good business relationship with Jin merchants, as long as we give enough benefits, we are not afraid that they will not take refuge in us. Without the support of the Jin merchants, the Manchu tactics could not maintain the supply of weapons to the Qing army. Even if the Jin merchants don't completely take refuge in us, we can find out more about the Manchu Qing through them! ā
Wang Zhongxiao said with some concern: "Xizhi is right. It's just that the general beat those Jin merchants out with sticks, and now he turns his head to look for them, this is ......"
Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is money to be made." Even if I spit saliva in their faces, they will still smile at them. However, we can't hand over all these goods to the Jin merchants, otherwise they will sit on the ground and raise the price, and our profits will be thin. We need to think of a way to let those Jin merchants send it to the door themselves! ā
Lu Ruoteng heard it and said: "It's impossible for us to write a letter, understand it with reason, move it with emotion, let them put the common people in the world first, and they will automatically send it to the door!" ā
Lu Ruoteng's laughter amused everyone,
Zheng Chenggong also said with a smile, "Let them send them to the door obediently, but it's not a difficult thing to do!" We might as well let it go, let's just say that the Four Seas Commercial Bank has better opened up the overseas market, and will hold a commodity fair in two months, and all merchants are welcome to participate in the sample in kind, and the Four Seas Commercial Bank will purchase it at a reasonable price. Hearing this news, I am afraid that businesses from all over the world will come. When we exhibit these objects again, it will definitely cause a sensation. Don't be afraid that Jin Shang will not be fooled! ā
Yao Qisheng clapped his hands and applauded: "Good idea! Great General, this is a good idea! ā
Zheng Chenggong continued: "Anyway, there will be a commodity fair, and with the development of commerce, the kind of neighborhood-style shops in Nanjing are no longer suitable for the development of commerce. I plan to build a large shopping mall three miles outside Nanjing, dividing the area into categories for the convenience of various merchants. ā
Wang Zhongxiao asked: "Dare to ask the general, is this shopping mall permanent or temporary?" ā
Zheng Chenggong said: "Standing! ā
Lu Ruoteng said: "General, building the mall so close to the city gate will not have a bad impact on the defense of Nanjing City!" ā
Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said, "With the heat. With the development of firearms, the role of the city wall is getting smaller and smaller. And if the enemy can attack our capital Nanjing, it makes no difference whether there is a city wall or not. Even if we win the war, our losses will be huge. From now on, our policy must be to keep the enemy out of the country, do you hear? ā
"Yes!" Yao Qisheng, Lu Ruoteng, Wang Zhongxiao and others hurriedly stood up and shouted.
The news that the Four Seas Merchant House was going to buy goods on a large scale spread like the wind throughout the land of China, and even spread to Fuso, Goryeo, Annam, Burma, and the Mughal Empire.
What the businessmen are asking for, what they seek is a word of profit, and for the sake of profit, they can go to the most dangerous place without their lives.
What's more, this time he was just going to Nanjing, and Zheng Chenggong's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was so loud that there was no risk at all.
Merchants from various places either took over or came to Nanjing separately with local specialties.
In less than a month, there were no less than 5,000 merchants who came to Nanjing on horses and ox carts.
These are all powerful merchants, and there are hundreds of people who follow.
Hundreds of thousands of people poured in in a short period of time, making the entire city of Nanjing very lively.
At this time, Wang Zhongxiao and Lu Ruoteng really understood that Zheng Chenggong set up the shopping mall in a smart place outside the city.
If it were set up in the city, something would happen to so many people!
It is difficult to guarantee that some of them are not spies of other forces, but Zheng Chenggong has not been able to fully investigate the background of these people.
As long as they don't make trouble and don't go to forbidden places, they don't care if they're there.
At first, Wang Zhongxiao didn't expect that so many people would come, and the inn built with funds was simply not enough.
Zhang Yan, deputy director of the Organization Department, and Chen Li, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, were arguing with businessmen in various local dialects. Liu Ruojin, the minister of public security, was also annoyed by the brawl that caused a dispute over some trivial matters during this time.
In this situation, we can't get rid of all of this anymore!
This hidden danger in safety cannot be eliminated, and we can only send more manpower to strengthen prevention.
Fortunately, these merchants are here to make money, not to make trouble.
Many powerful businessmen saw that the city of Nanjing was so prosperous under Zheng Chenggong's governance, coupled with the strictness of Zheng Jiajun.
Seeing that there was no place to live, many businessmen simply bought houses and bought properties in Nanjing, and for a while, the prices of construction craftsmen in Nanjing rose gradually, and even the face price of rice began to rise.
There were also many merchants who had no place to live, and they did not leave, so after finding a person from the dart bureau to take care of the goods, they found a place to hide from the rain at random, rolled up the quilt and slept on.
With more and more merchants, there are more and more things at the Nanjing Commodity Fair.
The shops seem to have grown overnight, towering over the planned area.
Jin merchants brought Bingzhou knives and scissors, Shanxi old vinegar, sea buckthorn oil, Jiaocheng Jun jujube, Yellow River beach jujube, black glazed porcelain, Pingyao Tuiguang lacquerware, Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone, Shanxi Fenjiu......
Huizhou merchants brought Huangshan Maofeng, Qimen black tea, rice paper, Lu'an melon slices, Gujing Gongjiu, Ningguo pecans, She Yan, Zijin inkstone, Huizhou bamboo carving, Huizhou wood carving......
Cantonese merchants brought dried lychees, longan pork, dried oysters, conpoy oyster sauce, Cantonese sausages, Duan inkstone, Yingshi, Xinhui tangerine peel, Xu Wenliang ginger, Guangning green jade, and pearls
