The Fourth Night: East China Sea Merchants Association (3)
On the morning of the third day, dozens of villagers from various villages came to sign up, mainly for the gimmick of being able to do business without capital. In the dream, people use the set of modern enterprise recruitment to conduct a preliminary evaluation of these people, and the examiner is naturally Huang Zhilai, after all, he is a marketer in the real world, and to put it bluntly, he is equivalent to a buddy of a commercial house in this era.
Trafficking in illicit salt requires guts first, so Huang Zhi's first question is to ask the other party straight to the point if he dares to do something that violates the laws and regulations of Dongzhou. As a result, two-thirds of the candidates were brushed down at the moment, and only a dozen or so bold ones remained.
It is not enough to be bold enough to traffic illicit salt, but also to be clever, otherwise you don't know how to die. Therefore, Huang Zhi's second problem is the adaptability of these people in the school, and he brushed away two-thirds of the remaining people, and those reckless men who had no courage but refused to use their brains were all eliminated.
At this time, there were still six candidates left, which basically met his and Sima Fuqiang's expectations. They will choose the most suitable one to be the head of the trading house, and the rest of them are not saying that they don't want to, after all, the transportation of illicit salt also needs manpower, so the other five will become the partners of the trading house.
At this time, Huang Zhi no longer concealed the business projects of the firm from these people, after all, this is something that they have to know sooner or later. "The Donghai Commercial Bank was set up to sell illicit salt, and anyone who wants to quit can do so now. Once you join, there's no going back, but wealth comes at your fingertips. ”
These people really lived up to their expectations, and none of them had the slightest intention of flinching, but stared at Huang Zhi with expectant eyes, waiting for him to further explain the situation.
Huang Zhi was also happy to speak, "The salt tax of the Dongzhou Imperial Court is fifty wen per catty, and the Donghai only collects forty wen, and the rest is your share of profits." ”
These people couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, although selling smuggled salt is a headless business, the profit of ten cents a pound is too high. In other words, as long as they sell every stone of salt to the inland areas, they can get a consistent profit, which is by no means comparable to farming.
At this time, one of them cautiously asked Huang Zhi, "Lord Shixin, there are some things that people think it is better to explain clearly in advance. ”
"Of course, when it comes to doing business, it should be said in advance." Huang Zhi agreed to this person's request.
From the resume of the registration, this person's name is Zhu Gui, and he is indeed from a business background, but in recent years, the war in Dongzhou, the bandits are rampant, and the border checkpoints in the East China Sea are all blocked.
Zhu Gui saw that Lord Shixin understood his voice, so he no longer hesitated, "In the contemptible understanding, the Donghai Commercial Bank is a shop doing serious business in the East China Sea, and it is a smuggler of salt when it goes out of the East China Sea region, and it has nothing to do with the Donghai Town Guard. I wonder if this is what Lord Shixin originally intended? ”
"That's right." Huang Zhi looked at Zhu Gui appreciatively, "In the territory of the East China Sea, the town guard mansion can keep you safe, but if you are captured outside the border, it has nothing to do with us." Do you have any objections? ”
Everyone, including Zhu Gui, shook their heads in agreement. There is no free lunch in the world, and since the people in their dreams promise them heavy profits, they must also be responsible for selling illicit salt.
"The great man is willing to guarantee our safety in the East China Sea, which is already a great favor, and the little people naturally have no objection. There is one more thing that I hope the adults will help us decide, and that is how to divide the six of us in the ten texts. The latter thing is what Zhu Gui really needs Huang Zhi to make.
In this regard, Huang Zhi's original intention was to let the final elected shopkeeper of the firm distribute it by himself, but Zhu Gui obviously thought it was inappropriate. If it chills the hearts of other people because of the unfair distribution of the shopkeeper, I am afraid that people's minds will change and cause accidents.
Huang Zhi felt that what he said was reasonable, so he first proposed a distribution plan, dividing the income into 20 shares, three shares for each of the guys, and five shares for the shopkeeper. For this plan, except for Zhu Gui, the other five people all agreed. Zhu Gui's opinion is that the shopkeeper's share is still a little more, and he suggested that it should be divided into 100 shares, and there are no 16 shares, and the shopkeeper has 20 shares.
"Is it necessary?" Huang Zhi raised the questions in his mind on behalf of the others.
Zhu Gui nodded, "Everyone is working the same way, even if the shopkeeper can take a little more, it shouldn't be too much." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone had no objection and accepted his distribution method.
Huang Zhi is very optimistic about Zhu Guilai as the shopkeeper of the firm, but he has prepared the last assessment in advance, which is also the key to the success of the private salt trade in the East China Sea, and he must not break the rules because of his own leadership will.
He threw out the last question, "At present, the border checkpoint in Donghai Town is still in the hands of the state capital, and we don't plan to wait for the state government to transfer border control before starting to sell salt. Therefore, whoever of you can have the means to ship salt out now will become the shopkeeper of the trading house. ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but Zhu Gui, who Huang Zhi had always been optimistic about, confidently maintained a faint smile.
After a while, seeing that the others were really powerless about this issue, Zhu Guicai said slowly, "My ancestors have been in business for generations, and they have also worked hard in this area, so I know that there is such a mountain road that can lead to the neutral area of Lizhou. ”
The other five were also natives of the East China Sea Territory, and they all put on expressions of disbelief when they heard this.
Zhu Gui smiled, "Since everyone will be life and death brothers with their heads pinned to their belts in the future, it is time to tell everyone where this mountain road is." ”
As we all know, there is a Jiulong River in the East China Sea Territory, which flows out of the mountainous area, passes through the town of Donghai, and finally flows into the East China Sea. The Jiulong River is formed by the confluence of three tributaries, Beixi, Xixi and Nanxi, and the water system is basically spread throughout the northwest mountainous area of the East China Sea territory. And the mountain road discovered by the ancestors of the Zhu family is somewhere in the upper reaches of the Xixi River. Continue northwest along this mountain road to the adjacent neutral area "Xin County".
"At this time, it is the autumn dry water, and it is easier to sail against the current, we can get a boat with a shallow draft to carry salt up the river, and it should not be a problem to transport dozens of stones of salt at a time. When we arrived at the upstream mountain road, I found a place to bury most of the salt and sell it down the mountain in batches. When you come back, you can sell some scarce local materials by the way, and release them down to Donghai Town. Zhu Gui already had a complete plan in his heart.
In this way, Zhu Gui became the shopkeeper of the Donghai Town Commercial Bank without dispute, and after he asked him to go to Elder Shui Xuan to receive a start-up capital, Huang Zhi no longer bothered about this matter.
