Chapter 8 The Chamber of Commerce Comes (Four More ~ Ask for Recommendation Collection Thank You ~)
The brothers of the militia have been sent to do these things, and there is no other person to take care of the miscellaneous affairs within the original control, although the militia did not deliberately control the scope before, but the vicinity of that street is also considered a traditional range, and in addition, in some surrounding areas, there are things that will also call the militia to help, which is one of the ranges.

The militia has opened another job, and the vacated area is not easy for the big guys.
In less than a month, Yi Xiaojin's factory has not been completed, and there have been several fights and brawls caused by land grabbing in several nearby streets, especially the Shahe gang crossing the river tiger is the most fierce, and some local small gangs and factions have no ability to fight back.
But to say that the most injured are those merchants, in the past few days a gang has controlled the street, collected the God of Wealth, a lot of money went out, and then a few days later, the other family came, beat this family, and wanted to collect the God of Wealth, and then so repeatedly, the merchants were looted no less than five or six times in less than a month, and no one could stand it.
So the big guys united and found the militia again, and they knew that it was still necessary to scrape the yamen, and it was useful to find the militia.
In the lobby, a group of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce sat there, Huang Feihong sat on the upper seat, Yi Xiaojin and Aunt Thirteen did not get involved, even if the plan to call the militia brothers was calculated by the two of them.
"Master Huang, the militia has now stabilized the market and is doing business with foreigners, but now without the protection of the militia, our shops are looted back and forth for those big gangs and small factions, and everyone can't survive if this continues, so please Master Huang make the decision for everyone." The representative of the leading firm clasped his fists and said.
"Huang also knows a lot about this matter, and has mentioned it to Master Zheng a few times, but the militia is now understaffed, and there is no way to divide people to help everyone, I'm really sorry!" Huang Feihong said apologetically, he understood this matter very clearly, when most of the people in the militia didn't have any work before, they were all helping to do the work of watching the scene, which can be regarded as a gang, and now the militia has taken over their own work to do, and it also involves most of it, which will naturally affect everyone's interests, but he does not have any suitable way to solve it.
"Master Huang, since you don't have a suitable idea, why don't you consider our idea?" The representative nodded, and the other people also nodded, before they came, they thought that Huang Feihong was now busy following his apprentices to make money, how could there be any good ideas, this matter is obviously not much in the scope of people's consideration.
"Then let's talk about it, Huang will think about it seriously." Huang Feihong was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it, and replied.
"That's right, considering the particularity of the militia group, I went to several chambers of commerce to negotiate it, and I am willing to fund Master Huang to reorganize the militia, expand the militia establishment, and recruit new people, in order to maintain the tranquility of the entire Foshan area, what do you think?"
Yi Xiaojin shook his head when he heard this, and if he gave some money, he wanted people to call a group of people to sell their lives to you? That's a little too good an idea.
"Master Zheng won't agree to this idea, this is taking the power of the yamen." Hearing this from behind, Ya Cha Su whispered, "This is letting the master be the bad guy in front." ”
"No, I think they're thinking a little too well, the brothers are desperate to keep them safe, and they just want to spend some money?" Yi Xiao said disdainfully.
"Indeed, it's not easy for everyone in the militia group, why do you have to work so hard for them for so much money." Recently, Aunt Thirteen has infected Yi Xiaojin and has lost the habit of just coming back, but is a bit like Yi Xiaojin, slightly lazy, but will go to work and help by himself, and her ideas are not so lofty, of course, in fact, her ideas are not lofty, but she is a little ungrounded with a lot of knowledge abroad.
"It's okay to work hard, but this price needs to be considered. It's just a matter of money, so forget it. Yi Xiaojin chuckled.
"So what do you say?" Aunt Thirteen wondered.
Yi Xiaojin smiled mysteriously and walked out.
"Master, why don't you let me tell you." He clasped his fists at Huang Feihong and saluted everyone present.
"Okay, then Xiao Jin said, I believe everyone has known Xiao Jin this month, there won't be any problems, right?" Huang Feihong breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Yi Xiaojin was the best at this matter, and he still had to watch it as a master. Everyone has their own strengths, and he doesn't think that he should need everything to be powerful, just be his own master.
"You just said you were willing to fund the expansion of my militia group? So, how much are you willing to contribute? What kind of protection rules are they? Yi Xiaojin asked with a smile.
"This, why don't you let Mr. Yi talk about it, and let's discuss it?" The person in charge originally wanted to talk about it, but after thinking about it, Yi Xiaojin proposed it to take a look, and then everyone would think about it separately.
"Twenty percent of the profit, paid every month, this month can be exempted. Even if you have a coastal area and need my help to contact the British army, I can help to contact it, but please pay for this money, and I will only act as an intermediary. Yi Xiaojin smiled and said a count that everyone was surprised by.
Twenty percent! They have paid as much as three or four percent of their monthly profits, plus other scattered ones, which are already more than half, and if they pay another two percent to the militia group, then they can get too little.
"This, Mr. Yi, isn't it a bit much? Ipcheng, what if? ”
"The expansion of the militia needs a reason, needs money and food, needs to prepare a series of things such as housing, I have just arrived in this factory, and now I am short of money, but I didn't ask you for this month, it's already very worthy of everyone, right? After all, it's only the beginning of the month. If you think that you can pull up a qualified team together, then the gate is there, and you are welcome to come again. Yi Xiaojin said slowly.
"How's it going?"
"Lord Zheng is a good official who cares about the country's court, and he wants to take something out of his mouth, it's not a matter of spending some money. Money, do you really think I don't have it? Of course, in the past, when the militia was in the past, everyone also gathered hundreds of oceans to the militia every month, and I would like to thank you here, but now the times are different, and the militia is not only facing those with knives, but also with guns, and even with guns in the future, what do you think? Yi Xiaojin continued.
"One into five, no more."
"The imperial court is fighting a war with the French in Annam, whether this battle is won or not, I think everyone will pay attention to it, right? If they lose, the southern barrier will be gone, and then the Liangguang region will be in danger, and what if the French can't help but come to Guangdong again? Do you want to count on the group of court officers and soldiers who smoke big cigarettes and visit the kilns all day? Yi Xiaojin's words shocked everyone's faces, everyone heard it, this new person who has only been back for more than a month and has been famous in the Foshan area is not ordinarily ambitious.
"One into eight, I will wait for the Chamber of Commerce to attract another group of merchants to join the association."
"It's one into eight, I also know that it's not easy for you, the imperial court taxes and fees are so high now, and your own profits are pitiful, so it's decided, I don't think I need to send someone to your shop to check the specific business situation, in addition, I want to tell you, in the next intention to set up a business alliance, limit the number of people in each post and industry in the alliance, the alliance is united with the outside world, against those invading foreign chambers of commerce and those illegal chambers of commerce, what do you think? There is no need to add additional money, and everything will be handled by the militia in a unified manner. After Yi Xiaojin determined the sharing amount, he said a plan that everyone's eyes lit up after listening to it, even if it was mentioned at the beginning, it was enough for them to be excited.
There are many chambers of commerce in Foshan today, mainly more than ten chambers of commerce in the steel industry, several chambers of commerce in the ceramic industry, textiles, and other industries have their own chambers of commerce, although most of them are nominal, and there are not many formal pavilions, but these large and small chambers of commerce are directly assisted by the government to control the large and small shops.
What Yi Xiaojin has to do is to achieve a cross-industry business alliance, with the military power of the militia as the center, gather a large number of local chambers of commerce in Foshan, unite and develop together, fight against the powerful chambers of commerce in other places, and even impact the provincial capital after stabilization until there is control of the entire provincial capital from inside to outside.
Not to mention that every stitch and thread is under control, but it is necessary to make a kitchen knife and an iron pot controlled by the internal members of this business alliance, isolating, confronting, and even killing foreign business forces.
What is it? This is a local protection group, not only commercially, but also in other parties, so that if you protect local interests, you can always be based here, and then selectively win over the neighborhood and radiate to the outside.
Many new factories and industrial categories in the industry also have a unified arrangement of this chamber of commerce alliance, so that everyone invests and contributes money together, and everyone has money to earn together, so that they can always focus on this center.
In the era of rapid development, such a business alliance can also achieve rapid development, but whether it can achieve the entire upper and lower business behavior of the large area of Foshan Provincial City that Yi Xiaojin hopes to do is another matter.
After all, the provincial capital is a mixed area of fish, with several major foreign trading houses, and then several local traditional chambers of commerce, and street vendors selling around, so it is not so easy to control.
But can we give everyone hope with a goal, who doesn't want to gain a foothold in the provincial capital? If there is that possibility, everyone is still willing to fight, at least there is no loss.
Following a group of old fritters present, they said a lot, and finally made the short-term and long-term goals of the business alliance clear, and then everyone left with full joy, and it was agreed that on the day when his factory officially opened five days later, everyone would come together to support the signing of the business alliance establishment agreement.
In addition, Yi Xiaojin has to think about how to fool Lord Zheng, the loyal Manchu minister.
The difficulty of expanding the militia is not ordinarily great, how many people were there in the militia before? Listening to what Huang Feihong said, when Liu Yongfu was there, there were thousands of sailor brothers, Liu Yongfu left, and now they are scattered, and there are less than 200 people left, most of whom are married, and only so many dozens of people are still bachelors who follow Huang Feihong here.
How miserable? How tearful is it? Well, when Yi Xiaojin heard Huang Feihong talk about the history of those few years, he said that he really didn't have any special feelings. However, seeing how miserable Huang Feihong said and how red his eyes were, he still symbolically gave two tears to show respect.
