Chapter 363 Business Empire

But this concept is too advanced, and for people at this time, it is even a little unfounded.

If the person who proposed it was not the emperor, I am afraid that he would have been scorned and attacked by a group.

In order to revise the business law and prepare for the establishment of a business school, Liu Zhi deliberately transferred Shan Wei to his side as a consultant.

After all, he is high above the temple, and he is not clear about the specific situation of private trade, so he needs to ask his opinion on many things.

No matter how perfect the laws and regulations of later generations are, they cannot be read according to the script, and more than 20 years ago, he has already proved with practice that things cannot be too imaginative and divorced from reality.

Dahan's business rules, under the continuous supplementation of the past 20 years, are indeed much more detailed than before.

In particular, the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, similar to the combination of the modern industrial and commercial bureau and the Ministry of commerce, manages both commercial taxation and the trade market.

Together with the Ministry of Industry, which supported the rapid development of industry and commerce in Dahan, Liu Zhi reformed the commercial tax that year, charging transaction tax based on turnover.

Later, a special edict was issued, exempting the sporadic trade of agricultural products from taxation, that is, the people could sell the output of their land freely without charging any fees.

At the same time, an appropriate amount of tax rates will be imposed on profiteering items such as liquor, silk, jewelry, high-grade lacquerware, and high-end porcelain.

He also knew that those wealthy families who controlled the sale of luxury goods would definitely try their best to underreport and conceal the news and profit from it.

Since ancient times, this has been something that cannot be completely avoided.

However, we can use a perfect reward and punishment system to limit this phenomenon to a minimum, and every few years, we will use laws and regulations to kill chickens and monkeys, and we can naturally be quiet for a while.

Of course, there is another meaning of this move, since it cannot stop its profit-hungry move, and they need to take the lead in prospering the market, it is better to loosen it up like a kite for a while.

If you do too much, you can also let it go first, just like raising a pig, and when he gets fat, he can be slaughtered directly, which can not only serve as a warning when the time comes, but also make a lot of money in the treasury.

So why not kill two birds with one stone.

In fact, this is also a regular operation as a ruler from ancient times to the present, but for the common people, this is a secret thing.

The real Emperor Huan of Han in history played this trick perfectly, and he was even more powerful than him.

After all, he still has to take care of the normal operation of the market, and Emperor Han Huan only cares about making money, and he doesn't think about these at all, and he has the feeling of fishing with all his might.

By the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, this phenomenon was even crazier, when the market collapsed, and there was not much room for him to operate, so he came up with a way to sell officials in Xiyuan.

But in order to be able to buy and sell official positions for a long time, Emperor Han Ling dug out his mind, and finally came up with a good way.

That is, sell the official first, and after a period of time after the sale, set up a name and fire a large number of people, so that the court positions can be bought and sold in an infinite cycle, and there is no longer any worry about running out of money.

This method directly leads to the fact that every person who buys an official will go crazy to loot after taking office, in the hope of earning huge profits in the shortest possible time.

This incident also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and directly buried the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Zhi has been very careful to grasp the appropriate degree in this kind of operation, too light will not play any warning role, too heavy will make people feel silent, and affect the normal development of Dahan industry and commerce.

But if it is only maintained by an emperor, it may not be able to go far, and only perfect laws and regulations can make the Han business develop in an orderly and benign manner.

Shan Wei is different from his brother, he is not so calm and ruthless, he has an approachable personality, but he has his own principles, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves but not hypocritical.

No wonder Shan Chao thought that his younger brother was a business talent, his character, as long as he had a good environment, he would definitely be able to earn sky-high wealth.

Liu Zhi talked with him for a few days, before joining the Ministry of Commerce, Shan Wei opened a warehouse, did not have his own workshop, and did not fix which category he operated.

Completely relying on the price difference and a keen sense of smell in various places, pure trade, and later after the Silk Road was opened, he caught up with a good time, with his brother Shan Chao as a backer, all the way unimpeded.

His Sihai Warehouse, which has opened all the prosperous cities of Dahan, is said to have more than 50 branches.

Such an advanced business concept was very rare at that time, and the Dahan business at this time basically followed the mode of self-production and self-sale.

They all open their own workshops and sell them by themselves, from production to trading.

At first glance, this model is very advantageous, without going through the middleman to make the difference, which can ensure the maximization of profits.

However, it ignores the current situation that transportation and information are very underdeveloped at this time, so this mode of buying and selling is restricted, and the goods cannot be sold to the highest profit in the first time.

Taking advantage of transportation to sell goods everywhere, it has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as Fan Li, a strategist who retired to the four seas in the Spring and Autumn Period, took this road,

The high level of his achievements also made him the ancestor of the merchants.

LΓΌ Buwei, the famous minister of the Warring States Period, and the widow of the giant merchant in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, also started by trade, and eventually became rich enough to rival the country.

In this case, why is Shan Wei's concept very advanced, because he was the first to open the franchise model of headquarters and semicolons, and used the advantages of those local gentry in the local area to achieve his huge business empire.

Not only is there money for everyone to make together, but it also inadvertently erodes people's attention to this business network.

You must know that in the feudal dynasty, the threat to the imperial court was completely different from that of a joint-stock warehouse group.

In history, many wealthy and powerful businessmen of the country ended up miserable because they aroused the emperor's jealousy.

What's more, the threat to the imperial court is not only in the financial resources, money can make the devil grind, under the operation of profit-hungry businessmen, the market will accelerate the monopoly, and in the end it will lose the environment of fair competition.

This is very unfavorable to the work of the entire imperial court, and it is completely a time bomb.

Therefore, Shan Wei's model back then solved this problem very well, and he was also enthusiastic about doing good deeds, using his money to repair roads and bridges, build charity halls, and donate money to many disaster areas.

A large amount of money was spent, not only did not affect his business, but became more prosperous because of the improvement of his reputation.

Before Shan Chao's death, his career was already very successful, of course, there is also a credit to his brother.

If it weren't for Shan Chao, a celebrity in front of the emperor, as a backing, with such a huge business model as him, he might have been suppressed and carved up by the wealthy family who coveted him.
