Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs one of the invited guests, Luo Yangxing can be said to see everything in the auction, Luo Yangxing only heard that Liu Fan's means of making money were powerful, but he had never seen it. Now that I have witnessed Liu Fan's methods, I am suddenly impressed in my heart. Not to mention how much profit Liu Fan will make by cooperating with the British Gongzhang family, with the idea of "exclusive sales", Liu Fan can collect more than one million taels of silver every year for nothing. It's not so fast to grab money! Sometimes Luo Yangxing really wants to break Liu Fan's head to see what makes him so smart.
This experience also made Luo Yangxing's attitude towards Liu Fan fundamentally change, if Luo Yangxing used to regard Liu Fan as an equal friend, then now Luo Yangxing is in awe and respect for Liu Fan in his heart. Luo Yangxing asked himself, Xiang Liu Fan could not stir up the capital and even the whole world with such a hand-turning! Wherever a person with great talent is, people will show enough respect. Luo Yangxing saw Liu Fan's strength, and it was not surprising that he changed his attitude, because Luo Yangxing deeply understood that he had to maintain enough respect for the strong so as not to invite disaster.
Liu Fan faintly felt the change in Luo's temperament, but Liu Fan didn't think about it. Although the auction is over, Liu Fan has too many things to worry about, and the troublesome things have just begun.
The first point is the issue of cooperation with the Zhang family, although the two parties have already discussed, but in order to safeguard their own interests, in the composition of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, Liu Fan must occupy a sufficient share and obtain the dominant power. If you want to occupy a sufficient share and not be deceived, you need to ensure that your own manpower in the chamber of commerce occupies more than half of the key departments. It is precisely that Liu Fan is most lacking now is manpower, Liu Fan only has a few thousand soldiers in the capital, if these broken army marches to fight, it must be a good hand, and it is also a piece of cake to take care of the house, but if you want to do business, you plan to plate, and it will be too difficult for them.
The formation of a chamber of commerce to earn benefits is one of the important parts of Liu Fan's future plan, and it is also related to Liu Fan's future success or failure, and there is no room for failure. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Fan still reluctantly wrote a letter to Zhang Yao, who was far away in Jiaozhou, and asked her to send all the students of the Economics Department of the Political School to the capital to help Liu Fan control the overall situation. The students of Jiaozhou Academy have only received more than a year of education, and in terms of experience, they are certainly not as good as the shopkeepers and others cultivated by the Zhang family for several generations, but they have the most advanced knowledge and full potential, Liu Fan believes that as long as they are given enough time, these people will definitely be able to grow up.
At the same time, this is also a test for them, after all, no matter how good the knowledge in books is, it cannot be turned into real talent. Only practice can make them grow quickly. These people are inexperienced, and they will definitely make all kinds of mistakes in the process of growing up, but Liu Fan doesn't care, as a future person Liu Fan and even the importance of talents, the current various predicaments also make Liu Fan more urgent about talents, if you can pay a little money in exchange for loyal and reliable talents, who can take charge of themselves, then it is to lose dozens, millions of taels Liu Fan will not hesitate.
In addition to the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Fan really has a lot of headaches, such as daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc. After all this effort, these things have finally achieved initial success. But production is a big problem. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are not high-tech content, as long as you find some people to train a little to produce, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a labor-intensive industry. For it, Liu Fan has already thought of a solution, that is, to place it near Niutunbao. The reason why Niutunburg was chosen was that, on the one hand, it was because Niutunburg had his army in the convenience of secrecy, which could play a role in escorting it to a certain extent. And because it is a labor-intensive industry, it is necessary to have a large number of people in order to have sufficient production, which is not a new way of wealth for the people near Niutunburg. After all, Niutunbao is the place where Liu Fan started, Liu Fan is a nostalgic person, and the idea of setting up the workshop here is to bless the people around him.
Liu Fan is a little difficult to arrange the soap workshop, the soap can be slightly higher than the toothbrush and toothpaste, and the investment is much more, Liu Fan's plan is also to take the high-end route, with perfume, make a luxury product, to earn the money of those wealthy aristocrats. Once this workshop is built, the profit will definitely be not small, and if it encounters any disaster, the loss will be great. And the capital is a place of right and wrong, not only has many forces snooping, but it itself is not very stable, in the next ten years, the capital is a place of four wars. Tartars, rogues, officials and soldiers from all over the country, they are taking turns to fight, such a bad environment, how can Liu Fan feel at ease. Compared with the Liukou and the Tartars, Liu Fan is more worried about the officials and soldiers of the Qin King in various places, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have rotted to the bones, oppressing the people, and killing the good and risking merit is their forte. And Liu Fan knows that the Ming court has no money, and most of the officials and troops of King Qin can't receive money, these poor and crazy people are doing everything under the encouragement of people with hearts, if Liu Fan really sets up the workshop here, it is tantamount to a child holding red gold in the downtown area, this is not to understand and tell people, I have money here and no one is looking at it, come and grab it! When the time comes, if the money is gone, if it doesn't matter, and it affects the people around you, wouldn't it be a bad thing to do with good intentions? Shaking his head, Liu Fan dispelled this thought.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Liu Fan still gave up the convenient conditions of the capital and sent the soap technology back to Jiaozhou, although it was time-consuming and laborious, but it was better to be safe, and he was not afraid of the prying eyes of those who cared about it. As for why the toothpaste and toothbrush workshop are not sent back to Jiaozhou together, Liu Fan has his own considerations, the toothbrush Daming has long existed, so there is no worry about confidentiality, and secondly, these two things Liu Fan wants to do is a low-end business, facing ordinary people, so the profit is too small, if it is produced in Jiaozhou, the freight is a big problem. How many miles from Jiaozhou to the capital? After such a long journey, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the original at that time. The main thing is not to worry about what is too much to lose after being destroyed. The production of toothpaste and toothbrush, what is needed is nothing more than some wood chips, wool, horsetail, and gypsum, etc., even if it is robbed, it will not lose a few dollars, as long as the skilled workers in the workshop are still there, it can only be rebuilt in a few days, and the profit is so small, and there is no worry that there will be people who are red-eyed, and it will not affect ordinary people.
Liu Fan has done a good job in making big decisions, and Liu Fan doesn't need to do the rest of the specific operations, find Li Xiaohu and describe his thoughts to him in detail, and have Xiaohu to help get all this, what Liu Fan has to do is to care about the progress and urge it from time to time.
