Chapter 161: Qin An's Business Model

Li Si frowned slightly, and said, "There seems to be no difference between the two?" ”

"How can it not be, taxes belong to the state, the country's money belongs to the people, taken from the people, used for the people, understand it or not.

The state relies on this tax to build bridges and pave roads.

Let's put it this way, the workshop in the village is like a state-owned enterprise of the state, and the workshop belongs to the village, and although the money of the two is stored in the village's account, it must be kept separately. ”

"What is a state-owned enterprise?" Lees asked.

In fact, Ying Zheng also wanted to ask, but as the first emperor, he was embarrassed to ask, but Li Si didn't have so many concerns.

Qin An remembered that this place was very backward, and the culture and history had always been in the time of Qin Shi Huang.

So he sighed and patiently explained: "The simple thing that state-owned enterprises say is that the owner of the enterprise is the state, and the enterprise is actually a larger workshop, which is equivalent to a workshop with tens of thousands of people."

The owner of a state-owned enterprise is the state, but the operator is not a state official, but a businessman entrusted with management, and the profits handed over are equivalent to the return to the investor, and this investor is the state.

Now the workshop in the village belongs to the village, but the operator is me, of course, I help the village for free, and the operator of the state-owned enterprise charges a fee, and the annual fee is very high.

It is equivalent to a hundred or even a thousand ordinary people's wages for a year. ”

It's so tall. It's scared to death. Ying Zheng and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Even Yingzheng, the first emperor, was frightened by Qin An's words, can a manager have such a high salary, and this workshop has such a big profit?

After taking a deep breath, Li Si asked, "Sir, how much profit will it help the state-owned enterprises to get if they get such a high salary?" ”

"It's hard to say." Qin An thought for a while, "Dozens of times, even hundreds of times, thousands of times, and times." ”

"Is it that tall?" Li Si asked in shock.

Ying Zheng asked with a smile: "Sir, your cow is a bit big, how can a workshop have such a big profit." ”

Qin An stretched out a finger, shook it at everyone, and said, "Village chief, you are underestimating state-owned enterprises."

Let's just say that it is good to sell steel, an order is billions, and if the quantity is large enough, an order will be tens of billions.

You may not understand this, because the steelmaking technology of state-owned enterprises is not comparable to that of the ironmaking houses in the village.

The so-called business is actually talking about productivity, and productivity depends on technology.

The technology of state-owned enterprises is world-class, so the speed of production is very fast and the quality is very good, so everyone is willing to buy it.

It will even be sold out, and the order will not be available until a few years later. ”

"Sir, you're exaggerating. It's hard for me to believe it. Meng Yi said.

"Sir." Fusu said, "Why don't you use a workshop in the village and put it in the Qin Dynasty as an example to convince everyone?" ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay." There happens to be a very good workshop that is very suitable for example. ”

"What workshop?" Fusu asked.

"Salt Workshop." Qin An replied.

Salt workshop? Everyone was suspicious, and many people knew that Yingzheng handed over this matter to Feng Qujian to manage.

Qin An ignored everyone's thoughts and continued: "Salt workshop, for the Qin Dynasty, salt can only be run by the government, not privately.

In this way, the management of this state-run salt factory is all officials, and the officials will not be able to do business, and even if they can do business, it will eventually lead to their own pockets, and in the end they are afraid that the productivity will weaken and the output of refined salt will decrease. The people couldn't buy the salt they needed.

There is also the possibility of cooperating with salt dealers. Deliberately sell all the salt to salt dealers, who then sell it at a high price.

When the time comes, the people will still eat expensive salt, and the court will still be damaged.

However, if the court entrusted the salt workshop to a man who knew how to take care of it, and the court promised to pay him 1 percent or 3 percent of the net income for a year.

Let me ask you, will this operator be tempted, will he embezzle with the officials or run the salt factory well? Make yourself more money? ”

Meng Yi said: "That must be a good business, the profit of salt is very large, this is a consumable, and everyone needs it every day." ”

Li Si said excitedly: "Wonderful, what a state-owned enterprise operator, the enterprise is state, but the operator is a private businessman.

It was more advantageous for the enterprises of the state to be placed in the hands of private merchants than to the officials of the imperial court.

A businessman seeks profits, but he is more suitable for managing the country's enterprises. ”

"That's right." Qin An said, "Although I didn't graduate from business, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run."

Let me manage the entire Qin Dynasty's salt-making workshop, which is this kind of salt-making workshop in the village.

I will first set up a headquarters in Xianyang City and give the salt workshop a name, which will be called Daqin Refined Salt.

After Daqin Jingyan set up its headquarters in Xianyang City, it began to advertise and recruit agents.

The so-called agents are the merchants who represent my Great Qin Refined Salt, and they will not sell Great Qin Refined Salt in Xianyang City or nearby cities, but sell it in other cities. ”

"Will they raise the price of refined salt?"

"No, I don't dare, because the imperial court can set a price, if the price set by the imperial court is ten wen a catty, but the price we give them is eight wen, or even lower.

And we have requirements, each agent to take at least 100,000 catties of refined salt. 100,000 catties, according to eight wen yuan a catty, that is 800,000 wen, ten people are 8 million wen, and 100 is 80 million wen.

Let's say that a thousand wen is one tael of silver, that is eighty thousand taels.

100,000 catties of salt in a city, I don't know if it's more or less, just think he can use it for a month, that is to say, he earns 80,000 taels a month, and earns 960,000 taels in 12 months. ”

Everyone was shocked, 960,000 taels, this is too much.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Qin An sneered, "Do you think this is enough?" ”

"Isn't that enough?" Ying Zheng asked, "Can you make more?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "Of course, do you think that the headquarters is just to produce salt, and then find an agent?" ”

Lees asked, "Could it be that the gentleman has other ideas?" ”

"Of course, when you have money, you have to buy a shop, and if you have a shop, we can rent it out, or sell it ourselves.

In case an agent doesn't do it, or he can't afford to lose money, we can also sell it ourselves.

The biggest advantage of this is that our sales channels will not be in the hands of others.

Secondly, we can also trade with Xijon, Xiongnu, South Vietnam, and other countries.

Such good salt is rare in Daqin, not to mention other countries, the price can be sold higher.

If I want, I will sell it directly to the Xiongnu for the price of a horse and a pound of salt, and the Xiongnu may rush to buy it. ”
