The plenary business meeting is over.

But there's more to it than that.

Because of historical reasons, the social and economic model and total social productivity of the south surpassed that of the north in all aspects during the Southern Song Dynasty.

Even after the national policy of the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years, it did not completely destroy this model.

On the contrary, because of the all-round regression of population, economy, and culture in the north, and even in the early Ming Dynasty, the heritage of the south is no longer surpassed by the north.

This is the biggest change in the millennium, the watershed of the times, and in layman's terms, the era of the Central Plains leading is over.

Beiping's industrial development has been a great success, but the resources and business models of the south, even if the situation is more backward than the industrial model of Beiping, but over the years, if the two are integrated and support each other, then not to mention the south, the industrialization of Beiping will reach a new height.

With the representative of the salt merchants, Jun Song, the representative of the Hui merchants, Ding Yingyong, and even the southern merchants, Luo Zhongheng.

I participated in the Peking Business Conference and was very satisfied with the business environment in Beiping.

Many businessmen did not leave Beiping after the meeting, but stayed in Beiping, and these big businessmen and business groups took advantage of this rare opportunity to communicate with each other in Beiping.

Juniper was one of the first businessmen to invest in Beiping and do business in Beiping, so he was invited by many people.

This was undoubtedly an increase in his prestige, and Juniper was happy to attend these banquets, becoming the best person to consult with those who came after him.

"When we do business, we all know that the environment is the most important, and a good business environment can make us do business smoothly."

Juniper sits in the second position to the left hand side of the main seat.

This position, according to traditional etiquette, is where the most important guests are sitting.

The inviter, that is, the host, naturally sits on the throne of the master, to the left of the host, which is the most important, and the right side is the second most important, and so on.

However, in order to ensure the enjoyment and thoughtfulness of the guests, there will be an escort between the host and the guests. Therefore, the first position on the left hand side of the host has the responsibility of entertaining guests.

The host of this banquet is also a big businessman in Jianghuai, who is also engaged in salt merchants, and his family is also involved in the timber and herb industries, and his name is Feng Shengzhi.

"What Du Dongjia said is an old saying." Feng Shengzhi, who was about forty years old, said with a look of approval.

Feng Shengzhi, also known as the Feng family, can be said to be one of the largest salt merchants, and people respect them very much.

In the Feng family, they adopted many apprentices and trained them themselves, learning to read all kinds of business books, such as "The Treasure of Becoming a Family".

Coupled with the large Feng family and deep background, it can be said that it is a representative type of Jianghuai merchant style.

"Doing business should pay attention to the right time, place and people, only with these three places, in order to ensure that our businessmen can succeed in business, otherwise no matter how much profit, should not be easily tried, can not be lost by interests, otherwise it is easy to cause disasters."

Feng Shengzhi took Juniper's words and said, and the people present echoed one after another.

These great truths have been true since ancient times.

Even in later generations, the economic development of some places is also due to the factors of time, place and people.

Otherwise, no matter how good the resources are, there is no matching environment, because they are attracted by the interests inside, and after rashly investing in it, they can succeed in business, but they will fail in other aspects.

Doing business in these places can be a minor failure, and a family will be ruined.

Therefore, it is obviously a treasure land full of opportunities, but no businessman is willing to invest, because this treasure land does not have a business environment.

"But Zhonghua Heavy Industry in Beiping is not easy to deal with." During the banquet, concerns were raised.

"Why worry about China Heavy Industries?" Juniper asked curiously.

The man wondered about Juniper's question, did he still need to ask?

Seeing the man's expression, Juniper smiled and explained: "China Heavy Industry is not a traditional chamber of commerce, you have dealt with a lot, and you will naturally understand what is going on." ”

Juniper has a close cooperation with China Heavy Industries, and most of his wealth, except for the shops and channels in the south, has been invested in Beiping.

The manager of China Heavy Industry also asked him to come forward to help promote Beiping, even in order to maintain friendship with China Heavy Industry, Juniper would not refuse.

And he is willing to do it because it will do him good.

"The construction business group supported by China Heavy Industries, the planned railways of the three provinces, the amount of iron is 70 million catties, and one catty of iron needs at least five taels of coking coal, and coking coal needs more coal."

"Then this production plan alone requires at least 60 million catties of coal, plus 70 million catties of pig iron, with a total value of tens of millions of taels of silver."

"And this is only the first phase, and it is only a project, and now the large-scale construction project led by China Heavy Industry is like a cornucopia, endless."

Juniper tried his best to seduce.

Of course, people have known about these projects, but none of them are as clear as Juniper said, and under the words of Juniper's organization, they seem to see the light.

Railway construction is only one aspect, the rapid development of the industry in Beiping, the demand for energy and resources, every industry is full of massive prospects.

The benefits contained in this are definitely not something that one person, or even a small number of people, can monopolize, so Juniper hopes that he can become a leading role.

I don't expect to become a giant like China Heavy Industries, but I hope to form a similar chamber of commerce like the coal industry association.

It is also an inevitable situation, Juniper has realized in his heart through the changes in Peking over the years, so on this train, Juniper naturally expects himself to sit in the first class.

The old and steady person is still full of concerns: "But is China Heavy Industry willing to divide this meat?" I think China Heavy Industries has a lot of appetite. ”

Juniper explained: "Although the power of China Heavy Industries is strong and will never give up leading industrial development, it cannot monopolize the resources of the whole society, and it is not conducive to industrial development if it seeks to monopolize all resources." ”

"China Heavy Industry is the leader, then we are supplementing, this is my view on the recent Peking model."

In other words, China Heavy Industries eats the core interests, and they eat the rest of the interests.

It may seem that a large number of large businessmen are not cost-effective, but that is the traditional model, and now in the industrial development of Beiping, this plate is too big.

It is so big that even if it is leftovers, it is an immeasurable benefit, not to mention that they are not involved in leftovers.

Whether it is the coal industry or the iron industry, etc., it is full of huge benefits.

"To tell the truth, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I still don't understand the Tao here, what does China Heavy Industry rely on to support such a big plate."

A big businessman said distressedly.

The interests are too tempting, and he is unwilling to give up, but he doesn't understand what China Heavy Industry uses to support this model, and he will definitely not end up.

Just as he did business in Jianghuai, with the help of Jianghuai's capital, he went south and north, and saw business opportunities in many places.

But he will never go to those places to do business because of these business opportunities.

He was very sure.

There are many people like him who see business opportunities in those places, but none of them do business, at most they pay some money to open up the trade route.

Juniper was stumped by this question because there are many answers that need to be answered in order to explain it.

He himself can only be considered to be half-understood.

"One is the food stamp system, the other is the resource allocation system of China Heavy Industry, and the other is the support ...... of the expected income of the railway."

Juniper said a little bit of everything, but didn't seem to say anything.

The investment of tens of millions of taels of silver, even if the railway of the three provinces is completed, is definitely not a short-term return.

Unless the construction consortium led by China Heavy Industries relinquishes control of the railways to the merchants, such as 50 years, promises such as 50 years.

But the construction merchant group did not.

So how do you support returns?

In another restaurant.

"What do you want to do so much?" Ding Yingyong said, "Railway construction is the capital of the construction business group, and the direction of our investment is the coal industry and the iron ore industry, as long as the construction business group settles as scheduled, it will not be a problem." ”

"The direction of my investment is to stay in Beiping." Ding Yingyong said.

"Why? Shaanxi and Shanxi have little competition, so the cost is low and the profit is greater. "Someone sincerely asked.

"Investing in Beiping, although the profit is not as good as Shaanxi and Shanxi, but I can rest assured, although the profit of investing in Shaanxi and Shanxi is higher, but I am not at ease."

"But the three places are all dominated by construction business groups, is there any difference?"

"There are too many plans and departments of China Heavy Industry, don't look at me in Beiping for a few years, I can't figure out the doorway of China Heavy Industry."

"But I'm only staring at one point, that is, China Heavy Industries, I believe that where China Heavy Industries is located, and those two places only have construction business groups, and there is no China Heavy Industries, so no matter how high the profits are, I won't go."

"Aren't the steam engine factories, coke refineries, and iron factories in Shanxi, Shaanxi Province all founded by China Heavy Industries?"

One question after another, Ding Yingyong couldn't answer it.

Indeed, these factories are the names of China Heavy Industries, but they are different, he doesn't know how to explain them.

A large number of merchants and large transactions, as well as the economic level of the common people increased, with the development of commerce.

The Changshi Mansion came forward and issued a new decree with the Secretary of the Legislative Council.

There is no curfew in Beiping.

China Heavy Industries invested in the construction of kerosene street lamps on the main road in Beiping, and the city gates everywhere were the first to start.

As for the maintenance of kerosene street lamps, as well as the procurement funds, the Chief Secretary will allocate funds from the gate tax.

That is, China Heavy Industry pays the construction cost, and the government pays the maintenance funds, and these funds flow into China Heavy Industry.

The bazaars in Peiping boosted commerce and allowed the government to receive more tax revenues that the tax officials could not easily use.

These excess taxes are not willing to be handed over to the imperial court like this, so naturally they will spend what they should spend.

The bazaar, represented by the Beiping Trade Center, has gradually developed into a city that never sleeps.

The level of bazaars in the Song Dynasty soon appeared in Beiping City.
