Chapter 191: Everyone is crazy
Wu Cheng listened to Liu Hai's words, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in this way, this hundred households surnamed Liu really have some ability, if those fraudulent businessmen are dealt with by Jinyiwei, at least there is some deterrent effect.
The guy smiled and continued: "In addition to Liu Baihu, there are actually two owners. These two are the half-brothers of the queen's mother, Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo. ”
Wu Cheng and Liu Hai couldn't help but gasp again, there is only one queen in the emperor of the Hongzhi Dynasty today, and the queen's relatives are only these two brothers-in-law, it is said that the holy family is long, with these two people, it is no wonder that Jubaolou can be so big.
The two were completely relieved, and then went back to the silk hall with the guy, there were already a lot of businessmen gathered in the silk hall, some knew and some didn't know, all of them were asking about joining the membership, and some people had already brought pen and ink and began to write the application form for this member, in fact, those who could enter here were all businessmen with some net worth, after all, the entrance fee of ten taels of silver was not something that anyone could get. These people usually do business, the vision is not small, this eye strength naturally does not need to mention, listen to these guys tirelessly introduced, has already been excited, know that the benefits of joining the membership is far greater than this little membership fee, I am afraid that in a few hours, these news will spread throughout the capital, within a few months will inevitably spread to the world, in the future the threshold of this membership will only get higher and higher, so rush to apply for membership.
Wu Cheng and Liu Hai were naturally not to be outdone, the two of them each pondered their net worth, and felt that it should not be a problem to join an ordinary member, so they also asked for paper and pencils, and began to write applications under the guidance of their buddies.
These applications will go down to various prefectures and counties according to their place of origin, and the people of the tea house will visit the local area, one is to confirm the owners of these properties, and the other is to conduct an appraisal, if they are qualified, they will naturally send these applications back, and Jubaolou will issue the members' seals and brands.
It is said that in order to prevent counterfeiting, each sign will have a number, and when you come in, you must sign a name, the name and the number are matched, and the corresponding number also has the characteristics of the character, and if all can be matched, it can be released.
Although this is tedious, it is reassuring to everyone, and what merchants lack can be found in this treasure building.
At the beginning, although this teahouse paid a lot of attention, but there were not many people who were really willing to spend money to come in, but after someone submitted an application to go out, this matter spread, and then, many businessmen rushed from everywhere in a hurry, at this time everyone knows that this kind of thing is the first opportunity, if you can do a member, you can do business in the future than before I don't know how many times, as long as you can go in to drink tea, first go to the hall to sit down, mark the goods you want to sell and buy, you can find buyers, The seller went to the private room to drink tea and conclude the contract. The most important thing is that in this process, fraud is almost eliminated, and great convenience is provided, and a lot of time is spared, and the annual investment is only a few hundred taels of silver, which is really not much.
Even some big businessmen, originally disdained to pay attention to this teahouse, but they couldn't sit still, the reason is very simple, others go there to talk about business, and in the future, if you don't join this member, who will believe you in the future? Doing business to show is integrity, there was no standard of integrity in the past, relying on the ethereal reputation, but fame is worth a few dollars, once there is the certification of the treasure building, as well as various protection measures, it is conceivable that in the future, all the business will be negotiated in the treasure building, and the businessmen who do not get the membership are bound to be eliminated, because you do not have a membership brand, you can not enter the treasure building to sign a contract under the supervision of a lawyer, who dares to believe you? No matter how big your family is, after all, it is better to have a businessman guaranteed by Jubaolou.
As soon as the big businessmen moved, not to mention the small businessmen, they naturally flocked to follow up, and then all kinds of news came out.
"The rice merchants in the east of the city are in Jubaolou today, and they only sat idle for an hour and negotiated two big deals, both of which were purchased by merchants in Xi'an, and hundreds of loads of white rice were shipped at one time."
"The shopkeeper of the tea house in Neixi City just used a stick of incense there, and he received more than a dozen loads of good Wuyi tea."
………………
The flow of goods is ten or a hundred times faster than before, just a teahouse, but it makes all businessmen feel that they have entered a new era, fast shipment, fast purchase, there will be no cumbersome procedures in the middle, the original headache worries, actually disappeared all at once.
Not only that, it is said that Jubaolou also carried out a business similar to the money village, some foreign merchants carried a large amount of silver into Beijing to trade is very inconvenient, so Jubaolou set up a stronghold in each province, if you enter Beijing, you can first exchange the big money and silver for the Jubaolou bills, as long as you take this bill to the Beijing Division, you can exchange it for a full amount of silver, this link is just a procedure of charging one-thousandth.
However, this business is still in the process of being raised, but with the popularity of Jubaolou, tens of millions of businessmen will gather in the future, with their credit and strength, it is really easy to do, after all, it is very inconvenient to carry a large amount of money, it is better to exchange it into a bill similar to Jiaozi and hide it on your body.
And there are countless people gathered at the door of the treasure building, and these people are no longer like in the early morning, there are more people to watch, and fewer people to enter. Everyone scrambled to rush forward, just to be able to enter the treasure building early and fill in the application early.
Who does business who doesn't know the truth that if you fall behind, you will fall behind everywhere? As for some big businessmen who hold their own identities, they also put down their shelves at this time, blended into this flow of people, and squeezed with difficulty in pushing and shoving.
And the treasure building is already overcrowded, hundreds of guys continue to receive the guest officers who come in, so that there are not enough people, so they simply receive three, four, five, that's it, there are a lot of people who are left out, these people don't mind, many people get together, or stop on the blackboard to see the latest commodity prices, some are outside the teahouse to observe, as for the silk hall, grain and rice hall and the like, there is no foot on the ground, and the blackboard in the hall is constantly marked, and the onlookers have an idea, I went to find the seats of the people who bought or wanted to ship, and when I found people, I realized that there were many people here who were interested in talking about business.
These businessmen are really excited, in the past, to find a buyer and seller, really to ask around, not only to understand the other party's intentions, but also to inquire about the strength of the other party, to figure out whether the other party has the ability to eat their own batch of goods, whether it is a liar, but now, all the procedures have been simplified, mark their own goods, and someone will find them after a while, so they will directly lead people to the tea room to talk.
At this time, the role of the tea room is highlighted, the original tea room is very empty, there are few people, but I don't think so, but now, here is overcrowded, the number of people is increasing, but like the securities company hall in later generations, noisy and shouting, come here, can only connect the joint, really want to negotiate the price, talk about the details, and have to go to the elegant room.
Just like the silk hall, almost every new mark up, there are guys with a gong bell knock a few times, two short sounds, is to tell someone to buy silk, three short sounds, is to tell someone to sell raw silk, four or five sounds have their intentions, but because the mark is increasing faster and faster, many people may not be in a hurry to buy goods or shipments at this time, but always want to try, the result of the gong sound is endless.
And those who tried to ship and buy goods, they didn't even have to wait for a moment before someone found a seat.
This speed is so suffocating that almost everyone has only one thought: "It turns out that business can do this." ”
There are some shrewd, think more far-reaching, with the treasure building, I am afraid that in time, this will become the center of the world's merchants, and the members of the treasure building will also become the standard to measure the strength of the merchants. I heard that there are still many ideas in the treasure building is being improved, such as the credit system for businessmen, after each member negotiates a transaction, the business is completely proper, and the two parties can go to the treasure building to evaluate each other, this evaluation is the quality of the other party's goods, the quality of the character to score, and the treasure building will classify these evaluations into a book, and wait until the next time someone talks to you about business, you can spend a tael of silver to call up your credit evaluation to watch, and then trade.
There will only be one result of this, honest and trustworthy businessmen, businessmen with high-quality goods, business will get better and better, and those who are shoddy businessmen will inevitably be marginalized.
Everyone is a businessman, doing business, there will be a sense of precariousness, especially in this Ming Dynasty, there are a lot of big businessmen bullying small businessmen, and now, doing business no longer has to be measured by size, everyone can use credit evaluation to measure each other.
"Crazy...... Crazy......" Wu Cheng had already submitted the application, and when he saw this crowded scene, he couldn't help muttering.
He really couldn't imagine that this treasure building would become so popular in just one day, but he was afraid that at this time, the merchants of the entire Beijing Division, whether they were local merchants or merchants, had already heard the wind and moved.
Wu Cheng couldn't help but be a little happy at this time, fortunately, he came early today, if he was crowded with these people, he was afraid that before it was dark, this application form would not be submitted, and the things in this world should be really strange, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that a teahouse would be so popular?
The tea here, but ordinary people's annual expenses may not be able to exchange for a pot, and running a membership here is the money that many people may not be able to earn in their lifetime, but in front of this member, almost everyone does not take money as a thing.
