Chapter 239: Building a Caravan (2)
Geng Rong was not deterred by this enthusiasm, but listened to it with relish, and when the two of them raised their eyes and saw Chun Gui coming out, their faces were even more excited.
Chungui glanced at Qi You on the side suspiciously, and then turned his head and asked: "What have you been doing these days, your sister said that you are running here and there, and you are busy, we thought you were not going to go to Beijing together." ”
Guo Zhanpeng didn't explain this, and directly grinned.
"Sister Chun, you wait, I have something big to say when my sister comes!"
"How long to wait? Your brother Qi You and brother-in-law are going to the county government to order something. ”
Guo Zhanpeng pursed his lips when he heard this: "Don't let me know if I'm not at home for a few days, you're almost ready, when Ci'an Hall is finished, and the old people are settled, they have to go to Kyoto, and the county government is just a little bit of a mao, it doesn't matter." ”
Spring returns to Yile: "Dare you know the situation at home outside?" ”
"Not really!"
Chungui couldn't help but smile: "That's it, Ah Rong asked the girl to scream, and said that she would have breakfast here today." He deliberately glanced at Guo Zhanpeng again: "Let's just say that Young Master Guo has something big to announce." ”
Looking at this kid's appearance, I think it is also about porcelain, so he should really come up with a way.
When the Zhixing couple arrived, there was some breakfast in the kitchen, and they could sit down and eat.
Guo Ruyi glanced at his stupid younger brother, who was in turmoil, and couldn't help but nod his head: "You said you, what have you done in the past two months?" A few grandfathers are so old, you still come to the door to bother, and those landlords, you go on the front foot, and the father and mother on the back foot will come to the door to give gifts and make amends. I'm a year older, and I don't know the etiquette, and I'm so thoughtful! ”
"Alas, alas! Don't poke me in the head, and then poke the method I finally came up with! I have something to do! Guo Zhanpeng hurriedly retreated to another stool and looked at her with resentment in his eyes.
"It's done, no matter what good way you think, give me a day tomorrow, others have your father and mother to cover you, and you will come to the door to make amends for your sins!"
"Good, good! Go tomorrow, go tomorrow! ”
Guo Zhanpeng sighed: "Alas, can you listen to me?" ”
Guo Ruyi sat down and scooped up a mouthful of porridge: "Say it." ”
Only then did he return to his original state, panting as if he looked around the table of people, and said triumphantly: "I! ”
"Figure out how to fill the treasury with porcelain faster!"
Guo Ruyi raised his eyes: "What way?" ”
Guo Zhanpeng smiled: "Filling the treasury, it is naturally selling this hand-painted porcelain that has never been seen before or since!" All I have to do is sell a lot of this porcelain! ”
Guo Ruyi said in disgust: "Listen, what words do you use!" So that you don't study well on weekdays. ”
Guo Zhanpeng didn't care about these at the moment, and continued.
"Sister Chun also said before, no matter how many shops are opened to sell this porcelain, if you open it in one place, you can only earn the silver of the rich and noble people in that place, in the end, it is limited, and the circulation of silver money is also within the country, but it is from the people's money bags and falls into the treasury."
The ultimate purpose of hand-painted porcelain is to fill the treasury, and the wool business can naturally be collected at home, but the best way is to transport it out to collect other people's wool and exchange it for silver money from elsewhere. What the Holy One wants is to use it for the people after the increase, not to take it from the people for the people. ”
This general analysis is to understand the reminder of the previous spring return thoroughly.
Guo Ruyi didn't know when to restrain the emotions on his face: "In the final analysis, it is to sell porcelain elsewhere." ”
Guo Zhanpeng nodded: "Of course, our neighboring country has Jinshan Mine, which is famous for its roughness, and there are so many neighboring country tour merchants in Kyoto who are swaying around every day, just to transport some new things back, in this case, they can't get by if they don't do it!" ”
Selling to traveling merchants in neighboring countries is also the idea that Spring Return pointed out at the beginning.
After thinking about it before and after, when he heard it today, this road is indeed the best.
When only Chungui heard this, he threw out the most important question: "You are right, then the most important thing now is how to sell in large quantities to neighboring countries?" First, you can't open a cave in a neighboring country and sell it on the spot, and second, porcelain is a fragile product, and it is shipped out in large quantities, and the risk on the road is very great, and you only wait for the neighboring country's traveling merchants to come and buy it in groups, and the amount is not enough. ”
"If you talk about the benefits of publicity, those traveling merchants will naturally have praise after returning to China, but this time and again, it takes time, and I don't know how many traveling merchants will be attracted by the next trip, and the saint will not wait for anyone."
Chungui saw it very thoroughly, and pointed out the most obvious problems in the sales of this porcelain.
The most important thing to quickly exchange porcelain for money is to let the neighboring countries know that they have this hand-painted porcelain here, and this hand-painted porcelain can hook their hearts, and then how to travel through mountains and rivers to transport it steadily.
Chungui once thought that the sale of porcelain was either to attract others to buy it in the same place, or to take the initiative to sell it elsewhere.
But it is urgent for the Holy Lord to fill the treasury, and the former is too slow to bear the risk of transportation.
So to this day, she hasn't thought of a safe way.
Just when everyone realized this, Guo Zhanpeng smiled slyly.
"The method I came up with can not only solve the disadvantages of slow results, but also not take the risk of transportation."
Several people immediately looked up.
Chungui smiled: "Don't sell it, you said it earlier, let's think about it together." ”
Guo Zhanpeng had a smile on his face, and slowly spit out three words in the eyes of everyone who were searching:
"Build, caravan, team."
.......
The people at the table were immediately stunned.
"Build a caravan?"
Guo Zhanpeng didn't wait for them to ask this time, and talked to himself.
"Caravan, as the name suggests, is to gather the traders into a team, the rich merchants in our township, but all the successful families, when they were young, they all worked as traveling merchants, and went to various places alone to resell and make a fortune, and there are also groups of three or five, and invited the guards to go together, these are collectively called traveling merchants."
He changed his words: "Then if I form a team of reselling back and forth, and then invite the guard board to go to various places to explore the business experience, shouldn't this be called a caravan?" ”
He didn't look at the surprised faces of most of the people present, and continued to elaborate:
"That day, after listening to Sister Cai talk about the son of Qi Yuanwai's family who was studying abroad, Sister Chun, you explained to me what a study tour is."
"I thought that study tours are not similar to traveling merchants, one is to teach each other's knowledge, and the other is to resell good goods that have never been seen in the two places."
Guo Zhanpeng was proud in his eyes: "Since they are all the same, then I might as well combine these two!" ”
"Assemble a caravan to transport our hand-painted porcelain to various parts of the neighboring countries to hype, and the porcelain brought with us is not for resale, but only for publicity, so that those who have never seen porcelain will open their eyes! At that time, the only use of the shops in Kyoto is to wait for people to buy them, and they don't have to bother to publicize them, let alone wait for those merchants from neighboring countries to take the risk of transportation after hearing the news, they will be careful to protect them, and the more the caravan sent to publicize it, the easier it will be for the shops in Kyoto. ”
The most important thing now is to form a caravan as soon as possible, and take the porcelain to all parts of the neighboring countries as soon as possible, so that everyone in the world will know that they have produced such a delicate thing in the country of Chen! The point between merchants is based on the goods, and the tricks of raising prices naturally do not have to be pointed out on the surface.
At that time, they will only have to sit in the main hall and collect profits.
This is the method he has figured out in the past month, asking the master, visiting the merchants, and thinking about it for a month, stringing this chain together.
……
After Guo Zhanpeng finished speaking, he immediately waited proudly for everyone to praise, but after waiting for a while, no one reacted, and he swept around, only to see that all these people were quietly looking at him.
He suddenly had a stirred spirit: "What...... What's wrong? Isn't this a good thing for me......"
Just when he was a little flustered, he saw a group of people laughing.
Guo Ruyi looked at him with satisfaction.
If opening that shop a few months ago is considered an experience, then this time is the real transformation of her younger brother.
I was busy for a month in order to hear the vague idea of the word study tour, running up and down without fear of fatigue, and thinking about this method so thoroughly, without asking for help from others.
Don't have a little dependence, do things wholeheartedly, fade away from the wandering and laziness of the past, and can be called reborn.
It's just that he himself hasn't noticed it yet.
Chungui didn't know when he put down the spoon in his hand, listened carefully to his details, and didn't know when a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, I sincerely gave birth to pride for this kid.
"Okay." Chungui smiled: "Very good. ”
"There's no better way to do it!"
The best way to do business is to ask customers to take the initiative to come to the door, rather than them passively peddling, taking the next risk, and placing all their trust on the patronage of customers.
The caravan in Guo Zhanpeng's mouth is a model that this dynasty has never had, but it is the safest and most secure model.
Use a caravan to publicize porcelain, eliminating the need to peddle bumps in the road, not to mention what a caravan can be broadened into in the future.
It's not just porcelain, study tours can still do cultural exchanges, and there will only be a small porcelain that the caravan can take out!
As soon as the mode of exchange was opened, what was left to this era was an infinitely broad humanity and horizons.
Even Zhixing and Qi You didn't know what they thought, and they obviously fell into deep thought.
The few people next to him praised Guo Zhanpeng without hesitation.
It's been a month worth it.
Guo Zhanpeng faded away from panic, replaced with a smile that he couldn't hide, and finally said a little shyly:
"That'...... Then I still have to ask my brother-in-law or Brother Qi You to help me convert it into words, I don't have ink in my stomach, the wording is inappropriate, and I will write it indiscriminately later, if I show it to the saint, I may have to be punished. ”
was solemnly boasted, and this sentence caused everyone to laugh again.
……
After this day, Zhixing wrote down an excerpt in a serious manner, and put it together with his and Qi You's debriefing report.
Guo Zhanpeng officially threw himself into the hustle and bustle of forming a caravan, and he was able to maneuver around himself without the care of others.
As the day of going to Beijing approached, the Ci'an Hall in Yu County was finally officially completed, and after the house was dried, on a good day in the summer, a total of 76 elderly people who volunteered to enter the Ci'an Hall for the elderly were counted early in the morning.
Two firecrackers rang out, and the door of Tzu An Hall slowly opened.
