After a brief thought, the man knew that this method was very good. No one could say anything, because this was a normal business activity. Who could say anything?
"But there is one more thing, what if he builds his own brick factory?" The man thought for a while and asked.
For a large-scale project like this, it doesn't matter if you build a brick-burning factory or even several brick-burning factories, because it is very worthwhile. It is not a temporary project, it may last one year, two years, or even Three years is possible.
After all, the entire city of Chang'an is so large and has so many roads.
It makes sense to build a brick-burning factory!
"This is related to the second move I mentioned." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Sikong, please enlighten me."
"You take the first step and expand the size of the brick factory and quarry! And triple the salary of the craftsmen!" Changsun Wuji said with a sneer.
The man took a deep breath, this... was too harsh.
This is the strategy of pulling out wages from under the cauldron. First, use three times the salary to attract all the craftsmen who can work, temporary farmers and even refugees, attracting almost all the nearby labor force. This means that if Li Ke wants to work, his salary will be at least It cannot be less than three times the current market salary and maintain the same level as them. Only in this way can it be possible to recruit people.
For such a huge project, Li Ke is responsible for more than 10,000 refugees. Among these more than 10,000 people, at least half of the labor force needs a salary increase. What's more, these refugees are not You must work at Li Ke's place.
They can also work in the brick factories and quarries of the Zheng family or other wealthy families.
There must be many people willing to work for three times the salary, and even many people around here want to work.
When there are almost not enough workers on the market, in order to ensure workers, the possibility of opening a brick factory by himself is greatly reduced. At this time, Li Ke can only buy from them! Of course, the premise is that they buy out all the large brick factories, quarries, etc. within a few dozen miles of Chang'an City.
This is not difficult.
It's really not difficult. Chang'an City's daily demand for bricks and stones is actually not much. Putting aside the official brick factories and quarries for the construction of Daming Palace, they don't need much money to buy the other quantities, because there are quite a lot of them. Some of them were started by them.
This move will definitely have an impact on their wealthy family. Three times the salary is actually not much. The most common basic coolie job in the quarry has a monthly salary of 100 cash. This is a common salary price, and triple the salary is nothing. Even if it costs 300 yuan per person, even if it hires 10,000 people, the extra expenditure will only be 2,000 yuan per month, which is more than 20,000 yuan per year.
The Zheng family in Xingyang has given away two million yuan, so why does he still care about this small salary?
Adding up all the surrounding brick factories, how much more money can be spent per year? And they basically only need to persist for one year, because during this time, if Li Ke wants to find someone to work, he must get the same salary. If the salary goes up, if the salary goes down, public resentment will boil.
They don't care, because they can reduce their salaries in disguise by closing the factory, but doesn't Li Ke care about reputation the most?
The point is, can he recruit enough people to do the work? You know, whether you are working in Chang'an City or setting up a brick factory to bake bricks, these require a large number of workers!
"You can contact several other companies about this matter. I believe they will not refuse. I have several companies here who are definitely willing." Changsun Wuji said directly without waiting for his answer.
Of course, what Changsun Wuji said could not possibly be a family of the level of Wu surnamed Qi Wang. In fact, there were many powerful families in the entire Tang Dynasty. For example, Jingzhao Weishi, Wu surnamed Qi Wang was just the most famous and had the largest family. That's all.
"I understand, there should be no problem with this matter." The man agreed decisively. He was still qualified to use this small amount of money. He only lost hundreds of thousands a year, but if they raised the price, If Li Ke had to buy from them, he could still make money back from Li Ke! Just let those idiots make a lot of money.
"If you want to do it, you have to do it as soon as possible. I guess Li Ke will publish the next issue of Datang Weekly soon. I think he will release this news in the next issue of Datang Weekly in order to win over people's hearts and promote his Reputation, this time will not exceed three days, you must write down the salary matter within three days!" Changsun Wuji said solemnly.
"I understand! I'll contact you now." The man said decisively.
Watching the man leave, Changsun Wuji sneered, Your Youjian Mall makes money, right? Let's see how long you can last! Boy, this world is not that simple. Do you think you can do whatever you want?
"Wait a minute." Changsun Wuji called to the other party again.
"Is there anything else Sikong has to do?" The man was a little confused.
"Why are you leaving these two things? Other conventional materials can temporarily increase the price, such as food! A large amount of labor must purchase a large amount of food! Food prices cannot fluctuate too much, but there is no problem with a 20% fluctuation. , In addition, the price of linen clothes, which are most commonly worn by working people, can also increase."
"There are also iron tools. Iron tools and other tools must be used for work. These can all be increased." Changsun Wuji said coldly, "But for those related to reputation, the price increase should not exceed 20%." Changsun Wuji was cold. He said with a straight face.
The man paused for a moment, then bowed and turned to leave. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. It seemed that the King of Shu had offended Duke Qi to death.
But he couldn't decide these, and he definitely couldn't stand on Li Ke's side.
Changsun Wuji looked at the man's leaving figure and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Li Ke, Li Ke, you are still too naive. Do you think you have made some money? Do you think you can do whatever you want after you win?
If you hadn't taken this job, I really don't have any means to deal with you for the time being. Now, let me let you understand that some things are not your final say.
When Li Ke received the news, it was already a day later. To be honest, when he saw the news, Li Ke was still stunned for a moment. This... was really beyond his expectation, but... Li Ke only If you can say that, you are worthy of being a Changsun Laoyin.
This move is really sinister!
But are these things useful to Li Ke? ! No!
But Li Ke's brows did not loosen, because it had no impact on him, but it did have an impact on the people of Chang'an City.
It has to be said that for the first time, Changsun Wuji made Li Ke feel the influence of the aristocratic family on all aspects of the Tang Dynasty from another angle!
And this kind of influence is sometimes difficult to get rid of!
Li Ke looked at the information in his hand, and his expression was a little cold. These people had never given up, and it was these people who would also frame him to death in the future.
After a long time, Li Ke sneered twice. He wanted to kill me with money, right? very good!
