Royal Bank and Li Shanyin are about to agree on the details of the joint venture, with Royal Bank holding 80% of the shares and Li Shanyin holding 20%. In the layout of the washing industry, the Royal Bank absorbed private businessmen not only Li Shanyin, but also two pancreatic businessmen in Beizhili.

Three pancreatic brands have been formed, namely 'Piaoxianglou', 'Hanhuaxuan', and 'Hexiangge', and Li Shanyin's 'Piaoxiang' is a brand that has just risen, and it is the first pancreatic manufacturer to take the lead in enterprise. Hanhua and Hexiang are mid-to-high-end pancreatic brands that have emerged before, and they are all 'local brands' of Beizhili, which have also suffered the impact of southern pancreas.

The establishment of three joint venture pancreatic subsidiaries means that Royal Capital has fully entered the pancreatic industry. All three companies are 80% owned by Royal Capital, which is equivalent to the same owner. However, the three companies compete with each other, but the competition follows the route of benign competition, and does not take the route of malicious price competition.

If any of the three joint ventures wants to overwhelm the other two joint ventures, they must work hard and painstakingly in terms of product patterns and publicity.

Even if one of them has a problem with its operation, the other two can quickly fill the market, and Royal Capital still continues to make money.

If only one company is supported to monopolize the market, then there is a lack of development momentum. Moreover, once there is a problem in the operation, it is difficult to expose it in a short period of time, after all, it is a monopoly operation.

But there are three that are different, and if any one of them goes wrong, the market share will immediately tell the story.

The joint venture company has been figured out, and the next step is to monopolize the market.

The first is to monopolize the operation of slaughterhouses, and soon the tax bureau issued regulations on pig slaughtering and pork sales. All the pigs supplied to the town. They must be sent to a designated slaughterhouse for slaughter. Pork vendors are required to go to these designated slaughterhouses to buy their goods.

This regulation is under the banner of 'quarantine'.

The Royal Bank then set up a subsidiary to specialize in 'livestock slaughtering', but the name was not royal, and the slaughtering industry was a bit bloody, so it was better not to hang the royal brand. Therefore, it was named 'Beizhili Slaughtering Company', and only Beizhili Slaughtering Company had quarantine qualifications.

Pigs before entering town for sale. They must first be sent to the Beizhili Slaughterhouse for quarantine, and then sold to the slaughterhouse after passing the quarantine. The slaughterhouse is slaughtered and stamped, and the vendors come to the slaughterhouse to pick up the goods for distribution.

This is what the ruffians in Beijing have done before, but it is clear that such a monopoly business has benefits.

But the appearance of eating should not be too ugly, and the slaughterhouse must leave enough profit margins for the farm, which can be calculated. When the pig herd is small, the profit margin is higher to stimulate production. When there is too much inventory, the profit margin is compressed.

After the slaughter of the pigs. Pig pancreas are supplied to the three joint ventures that produce pancreas. Other pancreatic manufacturers, if they want to produce pancreas, they can only receive goods outside the town. However, the slaughter of pigs in rural areas is relatively scattered, and it is extremely troublesome to collect, and there is not much to collect, and the output cannot go up in the first place, let alone market competition.

The raw materials are controlled, and the next thing is the tax aspect. As soon as the joint venture contract was finalized, the tax bureau adjusted the import tax on pancreas the next day, from the original 20% to 200%, which is simply a rhythm of beating to death with a stick. Of course, there are still some fragrant pancreas in the market, because many fragrant pancreas in the south take a very high-end route. Those powerful people recognized the brand, and a box of fragrant pancreas for a few taels of silver was just a drizzle for them. Women, in particular, strive for excellence in these detergents. Miss Qinglou, the female dependents of powerful and wealthy businessmen, don't care about the money at all, as long as the fragrant pancreas is in line with their hearts.

However, the increase in tariffs has allowed the three joint ventures to completely seize the low-end pancreatic market in Beizhili. The high-end pancreatic market is also trying to climb. With the injection of large sums of money and the awareness of product research and development issued by the Royal Bank, new products have also begun to be launched one after another.

In addition, in terms of export tax rates, the three joint ventures enjoy tax rebate subsidies, and their products can be sold to other provinces unimpeded.

Other pancreatic merchants in the market were simply defeated and had no power to fight back, so they could only watch these three pancreatic manufacturers in Beizhili rapidly expand in scale and frantically encroach on the pancreatic sales market in Beizhili.

The competition between the three joint ventures soon became very 'fierce', and various publicity activities were simply a fierce competition.

Propaganda on the streets, advertisements in newspapers, and all kinds of competitive means are in full bloom. But in terms of price, it is to maintain a high degree of tacit understanding. No matter how much competition there is, we can't cross the red line of sacrificing the interests of the industry.

Li Shanyin's Piaoxiang brand pancreas soon gained an advantage in the low-end market in the competition, occupying 46% of the market share. The two brands of Hanhua and Hexiang occupy an advantage in the high-end fragrant pancreas, and have successively launched more than a dozen kinds of fragrant pancreas with different prices, the most expensive one, as high as 100 yuan a box, which adds a variety of precious spices, after some publicity, the price of this top fragrant pancreas as high as 100 yuan, the sales volume in Beijing is very considerable. After all, there are many powerful people in Jingshi, and many of them are not bad for money.

Because of the advertising in the "Daming Daily", these high-grade fragrant pancreas were quickly sold to the southern provinces, especially Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. There are many real tyrants there, and they are not bad for money.

In addition to dealing in fragrant pancreas, these three major manufacturers also deal in tooth powder. Tooth powder is also a daily necessities of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many kinds of formulas.

This kind of tooth powder is actually similar to toothpaste. After grinding various materials into powder, they will be thickened with honey and sesame oil, and then stained on the brush, just like the brushing of teeth in later generations, brushing left and right.

Cheap tooth powder has cheap formulas, and expensive tooth powders have expensive formulas. What yellow ripe incense, incense, agarwood, sandalwood, tonka, herb, sweet pine, musk, nail incense, cloves, white sandalwood, Suhe incense, nail incense, dipterocarp, musk, dipterocarp, frankincense, green salt, and some medicinal materials, what poria cocos, sophora powder, mint, can be added to it.

Toothbrushes are also available in the Ming Dynasty, and some people say that they were invented by Ming Xiaozong, but toothbrushes should have been available in the Song Dynasty.

All in all, things like tooth powder and toothbrushes were almost completely popularized in the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and the middle class also used them in large quantities. The people at the bottom are not so popular, but there are many people who use it.

Obviously, tooth powder is also a very important daily product.

The three joint ventures have also successively launched various grades of tooth powder, and also produce toothbrushes.

After the Royal Bank's integration and monopoly of the cleaning supplies market was reported to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was full of joy! Obviously, it's not stupid underneath, and this set has been played quite smoothly.

After taking a closer look at the products of the three joint ventures of cleaning supplies, Zhu Youxiao found that there was no such thing as a mature shampoo in it.

Of course, although the ancient people did not have shampoo, they did have shampoo products such as soaphorn, and the rich people used Zhu Ling, a precious Chinese medicinal material. At the same time, there should be sesame leaves, orchid leaves, and other things.

"It should be relatively simple to have these three companies jointly develop a shampoo." Zhu Youxiao thought of this, and then wrote a plan and sent it back.

Shampoo is nothing more than thickening the liquid, and then adding a variety of Chinese herbal medicines to remove oil and nourish hair, and a little more flavorful for the more advanced ones. The liquid is then filled into a glass bottle, then wrapped in wrapping paper, and it is ready for sale.

What oil, dandruff, and pomade, can be divided into many types.

The products can also be divided into high, medium and low grades for sale, and all kinds of distribution can be tested.

At the same time, the Royal Institute of Science and Technology can produce a few chemistry students who are good and participate in research and development.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the cabinet has ordered a strict investigation of smuggled salt, tariff smuggling, and transportation entrainment, which is a nationwide strict investigation.

It's just that if the decree is issued, it is difficult to say how hard the provincial officials can implement it. However, as soon as this decree was issued, the entire Beizhili was strictly enforced as if it had been clockwork.

The local officials in charge of Beizhili have almost been replaced, and they are all honest officials transferred from various provinces, and all of them have received pensions.

After receiving the decree, the governor immediately ordered all yamen to send people to immediately dispatch men and horses to crack down on the increasingly rampant illegal salt in Tianjin.

The governor of Tianjin is called Gao Bangzuo, who originally served in Liaodong, and was recommended by Sun Chengzong to be appointed as the governor of Tianjin by Zhu Youxiao, who had just taken office for less than a month.

The reason for the establishment of a governor in Tianjin was to cooperate with the military operations in Liaodong and form a triangle with Denglai and Dongjiang that could support each other at any time. Second, it is to catch Tianjin's illegal salt.

At this time, the salt workers in the Changlu Salt Farm were all incorporated into the regular employees of the Royal Salt Company, and the production of salt became dried salt. The salt produced by the Changlu Salt Farm is transported to various places for sale, and there is no illicit salt flowing out at all. However, the boat has a great demand for private salt, and it is not cost-effective to go back empty. As a result, salt has become a bulk smuggled cargo in Cao Yun, which is basically a special case, and it is basically obvious.

Gao Bangzuo personally led people to inspect the illegal salt, and this time it was real.

Those smuggler salt dealers, who did not react at all, were caught off guard by Gao Bangzuo, and arrested more than 300 people in just one day.

But there is clearly more to the smugglers.

On the second day alone, there was a violent anti-French incident in Tianjin, when a team of people who were inspecting the illegal salt catchers and several temporary workers were being attacked by the smugglers when they were setting up checkpoints, and a temporary worker and a fast catcher were hacked to death on the spot.

When Gao Bangzo learned about it, he immediately drove the army out. (To be continued......)
