Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cracking Down on Unscrupulous Traders

Chamber of Commerce, as soon as I heard it, I felt that it was a tall thing, what the hell is it for, there are various versions circulated among the small people in the market, but the overall public opinion situation is supportive.

"Brother Cai, Doctor Han has set up another chamber of commerce, do you know?"

"Why don't you know, the people's declaration is clearly stated, and even the Wei family, the Zhang family and other big families are also involved!"

"Yes, what do you say Doctor Han is for?"

"What's the use of this, it's definitely to save our small people, you see that as soon as the Chamber of Commerce was established, most of the prices in the city have returned to their original state!"

"Doctor Han is benevolent, if it weren't for Doctor Han this plague, I don't know how many people would die, and our lives would have been saved by Doctor Han! Doctor Han must be the stars in the sky to come down to the earth to save our people! ”

"It must be yes, blessed are the people of Gaochun County! It's a pity that Doctor Han is not a big official in the capital, otherwise, the people of the whole world will be favored! ”

"Divine Doctor Han will definitely go to the capital to be a great official, and once the Holy Lord knows the benevolence of Divine Doctor Han, he will definitely reuse him!"

…………

Two passers-by were talking unscrupulously on the street, unaware that two middle-aged men were eavesdropping next to them. After the passers-by who were talking walked away, the two middle-aged men discussed in a low voice.

"Let's make secret visits for days, the situation is completely true, and we can play it when the time comes?"

"Wait a minute, Gaochun County is cracking down on unscrupulous traders, let's investigate the process clearly, write it down and report it together."

…………

Han Fei didn't know what was going on on the streets, and he was discussing the articles of association with Wei Xuan, Zhang Yuanwai and others. Wei Xuan, Zhang Yuanwai and others promised Han Fei to establish a chamber of commerce, based on their full trust in him, but the details of the chamber of commerce are also very vague.

"Outside the guard, Zhang Yuanwai, and all colleagues, Han first thanked everyone for their trust and jointly initiated the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and Han also solemnly promised that the Chamber of Commerce will bring broad development prospects to everyone! The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to advance and retreat together and develop together. The preliminary charter has been sent to everyone, the Chamber of Commerce has set up a president, under the elders' hall, the president is served by Han or Han's designated personnel, the chamber of commerce elders are elected by the members of the chamber of commerce according to the contribution value to the chamber of commerce, the affairs of the chamber of commerce are decided by the elders' hall, and the president has the right of veto. ”

Wei Xuan spoke first: "The charter formulated by Han Dongjia is very detailed, and Wei fully agrees with it, but there is a small question, what does this membership fee mean?" ”

"Our chamber of commerce welcomes merchants from all walks of life to join, and new members pay a certain membership fee according to the size of the store as the cost of the daily operation of the chamber of commerce. The level of membership fees paid by a member represents the amount of his dividends in the Chamber of Commerce, and the dividends obtained by the Chamber of Commerce will be distributed according to the proportion of membership fees. ”

"This is the most reasonable, Doctor Han, what Zhang didn't say, you can do what you say!" Zhang Yuanwai said loudly.

"Thank you for your support!" Han Fei continued: "After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, the first battle was to cooperate with the county government to crack down on unscrupulous traders and win the trust of the government and the people of the Chamber of Commerce! After the Chamber of Commerce gained a firm foothold in Gaochun County, it will gradually expand to Tianfu, to the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and to all parts of Dahua, Han can confidently tell everyone that the Chamber of Commerce will be like the people's declaration, and its influence will spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River******* Fei's words aroused everyone's pride, and everyone said: "We will follow Han Dongjia and work together!" ”

"Okay, if you don't have any opinions, let's officially sign the contract!"

The initial members of the Chamber of Commerce were all partners of the Han family, and they had made huge profits from their business with the Han family, so they naturally followed Han Fei with iron heart. After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, Han Fei exercised the power of the president to order members to take out the hoarded goods to stabilize prices, and at the same time mobilize a large amount of funds to send people to other places to develop the source of goods.

The members of the Chamber of Commerce are all bigwigs in Gaochun County, and after shooting together, the momentum of rising prices in the county has been quickly suppressed, and some shrewd merchants have also actively responded to the call of the Chamber of Commerce to sell goods at a low price. Of course, there are also some unrepentant profiteers who are still manipulating prices.

"Han Gongzi, the magistrate is invited!"

In the evening of this day, Han Fei had a busy day, and as soon as he got home, a county official hurried to urge.

Han Fei hurriedly rushed to the county magistrate's duty room and asked, "What is the matter with the adults?" ”

"Doctor Han, happy news, someone reported an illegal trader today, and now it has been verified to be true, and nearly 100,000 stone of grain has been seized!"

"It's a good thing, with this grain to the market, the price of grain and oil in the county will be completely calmed down!"

"This official thinks the same way, but there is one thing...... Is it too much to divide half of so much food to the whistleblower? ”

"My lord, if the government wants to win the trust of the people, it must strictly abide by its promises!"

"This official understands, thank you Doctor Han for reminding me, this official is almost confused!"

"Your Excellency is gracious! Oh, if the adult whistleblower can't dispose of so much grain, the Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy it! ”

The next day, the civil declaration reported a shocking news, after reporting, the government seized 100,000 stone of grain hoarded by unscrupulous traders, and the government kept its promise and rewarded the whistleblower with 50,000 stone.

The swift seizure of unscrupulous traders illustrates the government's efforts to crack down on profiteers, and it is undoubtedly a blow to some profiteers who have illusions. The most hotly discussed thing is that the whistleblower really got half of the seizure, which must have inspired more people to dream of making a fortune, which made the unscrupulous traders unable to sleep at night, for fear of being targeted by a pair of eyes.

As a result, the people of the county town woke up one night and suddenly found a peculiar phenomenon, the inflated prices were gone, and the vendors who had previously claimed that they were out of stock and had increased their prices were dumping their goods at much lower prices than usual.

Han Fei had just arrived at the office of the Chamber of Commerce, and Wei Xuan, who arrived first, hurriedly explained the phenomenon on the market.

"Those unscrupulous vendors are scared!" Han Fei sneered and said, "The opportunity for our Chamber of Commerce has come!" ”

"Oh? What does the president mean by that? Wei Xuanqi said.

"Outside of the guards, you secretly negotiate with those merchants in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and buy all the goods at a lower price!"

"This ...... Now that the limelight is tight, is it appropriate for the Chamber of Commerce to hoard goods? ”

"The order of the market has been restored, there is no need to continue control, you have signed a contract with those vendors, and I will immediately ask the county lord to cancel the control measures!" When those vendors learn the news, they will inevitably ask the Chamber of Commerce to sell the goods to them again, yes, but we have to decide the price! ”

"Haha, the president is smart, this one in and one out, we can have tens of thousands of taels of silver in without much effort! However, they may say that we rely on the strong to bully the weak! ”

"So what? The purpose of our establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is to rely on the strong and bully, as long as the Chamber of Commerce abides by the business rules and is not afraid of what people say! Whoever is not convinced can come to debate! ”

Wei Xuan let out a long laugh and said: "The president is arrogant, Wei admires, Wei will go to them!" ”
