Chapter 149: Gannan Chamber of Commerce

The bidding results of the Gannan Governor's Mansion that night were soon spread throughout Longhua with the departure of these foreign merchants and consuls. For Xu Bin's bidding this time, these foreign businessmen played with applause, and spent the least money to buy the most haode things. Undoubtedly, it is also the envy of the surrounding governors, why is this young governor so liked by these foreigners?

What makes them even more envious is that this young governor who has just taken over the military and political power of Gannan Province has made so much money from there. At one time, more than 30 million Long Yang's orders were thrown, and if so much money was given to them, it would be enough for them to expand their troops by tens of thousands. In the hands of this young governor, they bought a bunch of equipment that they thought was nothing at all.

There are only some shrewd foreign consuls, and some clues can be seen from Xu Bin's almost generalization of the procurement of equipment and equipment in the industry, that is, the young governor is not ambitious. After buying these equipment, it was enough for him to build Gannan Province into an industrial base no less than that of a small country.

This is different from the fact that the governors of various provinces are busy expanding their armaments and warfare, but he seems extremely calm and has a long-term plan that is different from ordinary people. It is precisely because he sees that Xu Bin is young and small, but his ambition is not small, and he can make them have nothing to say about others. The importance of countries to him can also be said to have been raised a lot with this bidding.

With the telegrams sent back by the foreign merchants, the east and west will also be loaded and shipped to various ports in Gannan one after another. Knowing that eating alone is not a good thing, Xu Bin ended the bidding meeting and soon became in the name of the Governor's Palace. convened Gannan Province, local merchants in Gannan Province who had a certain degree of influence, and the landlord class who supported Xu Jiajun more.

Originally, I thought that this young governor would not spend too much money on buying things last time, and let them donate some money. Originally, on the way here, the chambers of commerce were prepared for bleeding. After hearing that Xu Bin hoped that they could form a Gannan Chamber of Commerce and make a little contribution to the economic revitalization of Gannan.

For businessmen who pay more taxes every year, Xu Bin will also give them a certain amount of political participation in the next step. This kind of temptation is undoubtedly impossible to refuse for businessmen who always feel worried about being robbed with a little money.

What surprised these elites in the Gannan business community even more was that this time Xu Bin summoned them, not to ask them for money as they imagined. Instead, based on the previous purchase order, a list of upcoming factories was listed. These include equipment and equipment for various light and heavy industries, which were difficult for merchants to buy in the past.

I thought that after these factories were opened in the future, many of them had small workshops or small factories. will be squeezed out of Gannan's business circle. As a result, Xu Bin convened them this time, firstly, to prepare for the establishment of the local Gannan Chamber of Commerce to gather these benevolent businessmen who have a lot of influence in the Gannan business community. The second is to prepare to pull them together to become shareholders and operate these factories together.

Except for some things related to the military quarters of the Xu family, which must be managed by the Xu family's army. Xu Bin is open to all the other private industry jobs to these businessmen who are willing to participate in the chamber of commerce. You can even get the money. He can also hand over the controlling stake to these businessmen.

This is important for buying one or two pieces of equipment per year. For the businessmen who will be slaughtered by these foreign businessmen, this news undoubtedly gives them hope of making the factory bigger. Moreover, Xu Bin is also very benevolent, and only charges the cost price of those businessmen who contract a factory project alone.

These machinery and equipment, which they could not buy at all, were also sold to these businessmen at almost the same price. The difference is that the goods produced by these factories must be priced with the consent of the junta. Otherwise. It's easy to crush the owners of other small factories.

In addition, in terms of taxation, Xu Bin also emphasized that taxes must be paid according to regulations. The more taxes they paid, the more incentives the junta gave them. Similarly, if they encounter malicious competition or suppression in the market in the future. The junta will also give some power support according to their tax policy. This kind of benefit is something that these businessmen who used to be very low-key did not dare to imagine.

If some small landlords who have just sold their fields to Xu Jiajun can't take out so much money to buy shares, they can also find a few more people to join the shares. Even as long as he can come up with a specific factory plan, Xu Bin can also consider mortgaging the equipment to them first. After they start to make money, they will slowly return this part of the cost to Xu Jiajun.

In short, there is only one purpose for summoning these merchants this time, that is, Xu Bin is not like other governors, who like to take money from them at every turn. Instead, I hope that when everyone has money to earn together, let these businessmen usually pay a higher salary to the employees of the factory when they set up a factory, and people will naturally recruit a little more. In this way, the people, who basically rely on digging in the soil, will also have more opportunities to make money.

After listening to Xu Bin's straightforward meaning, these businessmen who were invited to come suddenly had a good impression of Xu Bin a lot. Regarding Xu Bin's proposal to form a chamber of commerce, they quickly reached a unanimous opinion. As for the businessmen's association to invite Xu Bin to be the president, Xu Bin also refused.

He emphasized that this chamber of commerce is a private thing, and if he serves as the president, it will not be convenient for the chamber of commerce to expand in the future. Just to keep the Chamber of Commerce under the control of Xu Jiajun, Xu Bin also pushed his second uncle Xu Yizhong out after resigning. I hope that after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, I can give my second uncle the title of honorary advisor.

Businessmen who join the Chamber of Commerce in the future, if there is a need for the military government to come forward to solve the problem, they can also tell the second uncle directly. At that time, the military government can also deal with the troubles of these businessmen as quickly as possible. In this way, others will not say that the Gannan Chamber of Commerce is his Xu Bin's thug and money bag.

Seeing that Xu Bin really just wants these people to create more employment opportunities for the people of Gannan, and at the same time hopes to do a good job in Gannan's commercial economy. After all, so much equipment has been bought, if Xu Bin alone can handle it.

There is no doubt that it is impossible to split him in half, and it is undoubtedly the best way to let it be taken care of by these business elites in Gannan. At least Xu Bin knows that it is the wisest choice to leave professional things to professional people to take care of.

After saying these things, Xu Bin put forward the hope that these businessmen of Gannan Province would establish a chamber of commerce. You can also think about whether you can form a Gannan bank. The military government was used as a guarantor for them to engage in some business lending matters. At the same time, it can also prevent all the money they have saved up from flowing into the hands of foreign bankers.

In this way, once Gannan Province has a conflict with a certain country in the future, the money they have deposited in the foreigner's bank will also be classified as nothing. As for dealing with financial risks, the military government will inject 10 million Longyang as a guarantee at that time.

In the case of the banks, the military government plays at most a supervisory role and will not interfere in the daily operation of the banks. This is also to avoid the fear that these businessmen will use their power to embezzle their money after the establishment of the bank, after depositing their money in this improvised bank.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Bank are the second jihua made by Xu Bin in order to improve the economy of Gannan, although the effect cannot be seen in a short time. But Xu Bin believes that with the construction of these merchants' factories, Gannan will become a gathering place for civilian goods from all over the surrounding areas in the future. At the same time, it can also cope with the impact of some foreign goods and reduce the outflow of national wealth.

After saying these suggestions, Xu Bin asked his second uncle Xu Yizhong to entertain these business elites in Gannan on the grounds that he was busy with official business. As for the establishment of chambers of commerce and banks, Xu Bin also stressed that everything is voluntary. He would not force these merchants to do anything, whenever and wherever he could. Of course, the premise is that these businessmen must abide by the rules of the military government.

Having left behind such a promise, the merchants who had recently known that the young governor could speak his word. undoubtedly dispelled a lot of worries in my heart, and Xu Yizhonggui was the logistics minister of Xu Jiajun. But it seems that he is really proficient in dealing with these businessmen.

So much so that these businessmen who were invited to the Hero City for a meeting officially established the Gannan Chamber of Commerce in the Hero City three days later. Some of the most influential business elites in Gannan joined in and voted by secret ballot to elect the first president for a triennial term.

This president will also occupy a seat in the upcoming parliament of Gannan Province. Even to a certain extent, he also has the right to enter the governor's palace at any time and offer advice to Xu Bin, the governor. This was something that could not have been imagined in the history of the Gannan Provincial Military Government in the past.

There is a way of 'Shinong industry and commerce', and the status of businessmen in this era is undoubtedly more embarrassing. Although they have a lot of money, they are limited to their rights by those in power. As a result, the goal of many wealthy businessmen in life is to hope to enter the ranks of taxis. They have the right to participate in politics, and today this opportunity Xu Bin gave them. This also made Xu Bin invisibly gather a group of business elites who could listen to him.

As for the establishment of the bank, after listening to Xu Bin's opinions, Xu Yizhong decided to use all the money used by these chamber of commerce representatives to purchase equipment from the military government as the first start-up capital. Hui Tong Xu Bin's previous promise, 10 million Longyang's deposit, as the first capital for the establishment of the bank.

In this way, at the beginning of its establishment, Gannan Bank had nearly 30 million funds as a guarantee. In addition to some of this money, it will be used as a way to borrow money to support some landlords in Gannan who want to enter the business industry but lack financial support to switch to business. The junta will conduct a special analysis based on the industry they choose to enter, and decide whether to cooperate or oppose their treatment of Xu Jiajun in the light of whether to lend them money.

This can be regarded as giving many landlords in Gannan Province who have been taken away from their land a chance to be reborn. For a while, these landlords' evil thoughts about Xu Jiajun have changed a lot with this policy! (To be continued......)
