In addition to the officialdom, Yang Chao has also been integrating other things, such as the operation of the Jinchai Tower, the shipping business on the Yangtze River, and so on.

Jinchai Building continues to be prosperous, with Kang Xiaobao's insider, there is nothing to worry about, and Jinchai Building has finally become the benchmark of Nanjing's Qinglou industry as he wished.

By August this year, Jinchailou had earned a profit of 100,000 taels, but this is the limit, a Nanjing City, the scale of the high-end entertainment industry is so large, 150,000 taels of silver a year, and there is basically not much room for expansion.

However, this kind of industry can be regarded as an eyeball industry, and it is a famous meal.

This reminded Yang Chao of the business model of some celebrities in later generations, and told Kang Xiaobao to find a way to expand the periphery, for the entertainment industry in later generations, stars are just a means to earn eyeballs and attract popularity, and what really makes money is some peripheral industries, such as souvenirs.

Jinchai Lou can also develop souvenirs, of course, it can't be developed indiscriminately, it must be closely followed by its own core industry, otherwise it is not called expansion, it is called Hu.

The first batch of products suggested by Yang Chao to Kang Xiaobao were fans, which were also regarded as stationery, which scribe did not hold a fan to support the scene.

Of course, Jinchailou makes fans, but not only does, Jinchailou is a brand, a brand with huge popularity and popularity, but you don't have to make products yourself, you can make OEM, let people put on their own logos.

However, Yang Chao told Kang Xiaobao that he must find the best craftsmen and make the best products, don't care about the cost, and maintain the brand image of Jinchailou compared to the cost, which is the most important thing. Therefore, all the products sold in the Jinchai Building under the logo of the Jinchai Building must be worthy of the name of the Jinchai Building.

If the fan is ready. Then you can make fashion, and the clothes of the Ming Dynasty people are the same. Men are Confucian shirts and cloth jackets, etc., women will be better than armor skirts, etc., but the same clothes can also be made in a variety of ways, wide and tight, length, slightly changed, it is a new style of clothing, just like the clothes of later generations. It seems to be a lot of tricks, but it's actually a small innovation.

Even the patterns on it are different, they are all different styles, painted with autumn chrysanthemums, painted with orchids, and painted with bamboo leaves.

For things like clothing, it is a great test of aesthetics, but Jin Hailou is not short of people who understand aesthetics, Chen Yuanyuan. It is in this environment that they grow up, and they are the most poisonous connoisseurs in the eyes of the world, as long as they look good. That's definitely a composite aesthetic thing.

Therefore, the things that Yang Chao wants Kang Xiaobao to make can only be sold after these checks, otherwise they must be destroyed, even if the cost is very high, they must be destroyed, and none of them can enter the market.

In addition to the main business, Jinchai Building also has an industry that is not very compatible, that is, the trading hall.

After more than a year of operation, the trading hall of the Golden Hairpin Building. Because of the new way of trading, highly transparent trading rules. It was indeed welcomed by a large number of merchants, especially those from other places who were not familiar with the locals. Jinchai Building is the first choice.

In the past, outsiders wanted to enter the local market, either through years of silent cultivation, such as the Wang family's grocery store, in terms of strength, the scale of the wheel can be regarded as the number, but it has been losing money, and the Wang family's great business is big enough to let it lose money, the purpose is just to open the Nanjing market and occupy a place in Nanjing.

Either you can directly find the local tooth shop and do business through the introduction of intermediaries, but this era is full of various clan relations, and there is a phenomenon of local people bullying people everywhere, and the same goods can be sold at a much higher price than the living, so often strange merchants become the blood-sucking objects of the tooth shops, but become part-time workers for the local tooth shops.

It's like He Mingyu's family eats brokerage meals, and they eat to the extent that others beg them to help with trading.

But Jin Hai Lou broke this stereotype, trading in the trading hall, are open and transparent, clear bidding, the highest price gets, no one cares who sells the goods, no one cares who buys the goods, who gives more money to sell whom, who wants less money to buy him.

This kind of trading method that breaks the rules of the tooth industry is welcomed by a large group of businessmen, and they are also hated by the tooth industry, which is equivalent to smashing their jobs.

The result is a lose-lose situation, the trading hall of the Jinchai Building is very popular, but the merchants who come here to operate are always troubled, and even face threats, for a time the business of the trading hall of the Jinchai Building is not very smooth, for most of the last year, plus Wang Xiao left no one to manage, relying on the accounts in the Jinchai Building alone, the commission drawn in a year is only 10,000 taels of silver.

This made Yang Chao a little dissatisfied.

After carefully understanding the reasons, Yang Chao did not directly find those tooth shops to settle accounts, this new and old mode of production and business transformation process, there are always old-fashioned to be eliminated, there are always people affected by this, lose their jobs, this is the so-called transformation pains.

However, despite the twists and turns, advanced things always have to eliminate backward food, and the labor pains will pass the most.

Yang Chao is very clear about this, and he doesn't want to use force, besides, using force in Nanjing is not so easy to use, Nanjing City as a city with a special status, although it is not the capital, but many places enjoy the power of the capital, and the dignitaries here are not less than Beijing, and those who can eat teeth and eat are all guys with complex networks and wide connections.

So Yang Chao thought of the broker model of later generations, there are brokers in the trading industry, not everyone can join casually, such as the New York Stock Exchange, which is a membership system, the number of places is limited, only one exits, the other can be qualified, and only after obtaining the qualification can operate in it.

In the end, Yang Chao introduced this model, first invited He Mingyu, the most famous broker in Nanjing, and invited him to give him a membership if the trading hall of Jinchai Building, and then through He Mingyu, hundreds of the most capable brokerage firms in Jiangnan Jingcheng invited them together, told them that they had money to make money together, and invited these people to be trading brokers of Jinchai Building.

These people have connections in their hands and all kinds of business relationships, if they can bring their network into Jinchai Tower, it will naturally be a good deal. If they don't allow it, Jinchailou's business network can also be unilaterally opened to them, in exchange for their not to make trouble. And their expertise.

You must know that these people are definitely more experienced than the half-baked account rooms of Jinchai Lou when they come to operate the trading hall of Jinchai Building. Buying and selling has always been their livelihood, and it can be said that they are like a fish in water.

As for their stubborn grasp of their private customers, not to introduce Jin Hai Lou, Yang Chao does not believe that they can control it forever, Jin Hai Lou relies on openness and transparency, relying on efficiency, where resources can be obtained at the best price, for buyers. The lowest cost can be paid, and the maximum profit can be achieved for the seller, and this kind of competitiveness is definitely not comparable to the relationship network in the hands of two tooth dealers.

Those tooth shops actually have no choice, if they insist on controlling their own network, then their private customers will definitely not be willing to do business with these people for a long time, after all, doing business with these people privately, always lose, for a long time, if they don't introduce their network to the Golden Hairpin Building. It's time for their relationship to break up on its own.

So this is a matter of mutual benefit, and sure enough, in just one month, the transaction face of Jinchai House began to change. At first, there were some conservative trades, but with the first one, everyone else soon rushed to introduce their customers to Jinchai Building.

In the competition between trading platforms and personal intermediaries, the platform wins!

After the matter of Jinchai Tower is dealt with, there is also the shipping business of Xinjiangkou.

In fact, it's basically the same thing, and now Yang Chao's shipping business is to contact business through Jinchai Building, and Jinchai Building is straightened out, and shipping is smooth.

The only thing to pay attention to in shipping. It's our own competitiveness.

Since Yang Chao left Nanjing, some imitators began to appear on the river. Some of them are darts in the past, and darts used to be based on the practice of drawing three out of 100. As a result, he was oppressed by Yang Chao's pioneering escort fee, and he could only reduce the commission at first, but even if it became worth one hundred draws, it was still not cost-effective to find them for those big deals that cost thousands of taels at every turn.

As a result, the dart line can only accept some low-value goods, but if the value is too low, they themselves are not cost-effective, not to mention that the owner is not very willing to hire people, after all, the value of the goods is low, even if they are robbed, they are not too distressed.

In the end, Dart Xing found that it could only imitate, imitate Yang Chao's escort model, and adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover, which was the impact of the new business mode on the old business mode, and the old model would either change or die.

The imitation of the dart line is not bad, but in the end, they act in accordance with the rules of the market, at most they have a little more habits.

The really bad imitators are those sailors who are in the vicinity of Nanjing, in addition to Xinjiangkou, there are large-scale water camps in Yanziji, quarrying and other places.

As a result, these people saw that Yang Chao had made a fortune by using shipping and escort business for cargo owners, so they began to imitate one by one.

Imitation is imitation, the big deal is that everyone competes freely, but these people don't do that.

They used all kinds of despicable means, such as threatening the owner of the cargo that they must be escorted, otherwise they would rob, and as a result, Zhang Dawei's business was greatly affected.

As a result, it only took more than half a year to earn more than 30,000 taels of silver, not only did it not grow, but it did not even half of what it used to be.

Zhang Dawei couldn't do anything about it, Yang Chao took all the soldiers away, and there was no one in his hands who couldn't control the scene.

But now that Yang Chao is back, this chaotic situation cannot be allowed for them to happen.

Yang Chao told Zhang Dawei that with the group of recruits recruited from Haizhou, he could take tough measures, and if he didn't accept it, he would fight, and Yang Chao's business was out, because he was not afraid of Jiang bandits, so he dared to help escort the escort, and now the road came out, and as a result, a group of people came to grab food, and they used despicable tricks to dare to threaten Yang Chao.

Zhang Dawei asked, what if the water battalions in Yanziji and other places intercepted their boats, Yang Chao still hit one word, not only to fight, but also to arrest those who dared to stop his warships, and directly to the military department to fight a lawsuit.

Up to now, Yang Chao still has the task of patrolling the river, and he can legally appear in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but these water camps do not, they are tantamount to transferring troops without authorization, Yang Chao directly arrests them, and the lawsuit is justified.

As a result, on the river, chickens and dogs jumped for a while, and the prices of Nanjing began to fluctuate, which had a great impact.

But Yang Chao didn't have time to pay attention to it, he still had a lot of things to deal with. (To be continued).
