He frowned but shook his head.
"Mr. Zhao, you are right! Based on this calculation, the profit margin will be greatly improved.
There is no need to pay workers, only food and drink, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure.
But have you ever thought about what to do with transportation?
These are prisoners of war. Once the war here ends, Outer Mongolia will definitely repatriate these prisoners of war through diplomatic means.
I heard that the Outer Mongolians are short of population, and they will ask for these people back even if they give our top management more money.
What should we do then? "
As he spoke, Boss Guo took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Ming and sighed, "Mr. Zhao, I want to do business, but I don't want to do a one-time deal. I prefer to do a long-term business."
However, Zhao Ming had expected these and nodded.
"That's right! Boss Guo is indeed a businessman who thinks carefully, but so what?"
so what? There’s a big problem here!
Boss Guo was a little depressed. Why did Chief Zhao seem to be unable to understand the words?
"Sir Zhao, I..."
"Alas!" Zhao Ming interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"The handover of prisoners of war is true. Who said it must be handed over immediately? And don't forget whose territory this is!"
After hearing these words, Boss Guo was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand.
Whose territory?
At a mild level, it is said that this is the territory of the Chief Zhao in front of him, but it is obvious that Chief Zhao does not mean this. Then...could it be said that this is the territory of the southern government?
That's right. The Blue Sky and White Sun flag has been flown almost all over the country. It's also right to say that it's bigger.
According to normal procedures, when the war here is over, the south will definitely send people over to negotiate with the Outer Mongols. The benefits involved in the handover of prisoners of war may only be in the middle of the next year, and it will not end until the next year at the latest.
In other words, no matter how you look at it, this mine transaction will be completed within the next year at most.
But does Chief Zhao really mean this?
Boss Guo pondered carefully, and soon he figured out that this was indeed the territory of the southern government. ,
But actually this is Yan Laoxi's territory!
Yan Laoxi!
What kind of person is Yan Laoxi?
Boss Guo thought for a moment, and everything suddenly became clear. He looked at Zhao Ming with even more astonishment.
Commander Zhao has already figured everything out?
If Zhao Ming knew what Boss Guo was thinking at this time, he would definitely curse in his heart, "Bullshit, I just wanted to fool you, but I have been thinking about this for several days."
How can you draw a cake without any preparation?
"Sir Zhao...you mean..."
"Haha! It seems that Boss Guo has already figured it out?"
"Well, I figured it out. Chief Zhao is indeed far-sighted!" Boss Guo sighed with emotion.
As for Boss Guo compromising like this, Zhang Kai was still confused and couldn't help but wonder,
"Hey, I told you two to stop playing riddles at this time? Can this business be done?"
"We can do it! Of course we can!"
Before Zhao Ming could reply, Boss Guo took the lead and nodded repeatedly.
"Sir Zhang, you may not quite understand, you just need to know that this is Yan Laoxi's territory.
As for Yan Laoxi himself, he knew whether this could be done or not. "
After hearing this, Zhang Kai vaguely understood something.
Zhang Kai would definitely not have understood Yan Laoxi's name before, but he knew something about it from the descriptions of some caravans along the way.
How should I put it? If this person were in Shanxi, he would definitely be famous for his reputation.
People have nothing to say about how kind the fellow villagers are. They are building bridges, paving roads and building schools. They wish every little kid under their rule could be sent to study.
But in neighboring provinces, and even in places such as Chahar, which had just been taken under Yan Laoxi's command, his reputation was not so good.
His behavior can be summed up by the word "greed for money". He is not only greedy for money but also very stingy.
Just like when passing through several passes under the jurisdiction of Chahar Yan Laoxi, their disguised caravan was exploited one after another and had to pay several taxes.
Not only that, when entering Yan Laoxi's territory, Zhang Kai also heard that the commander actually had several banks, pawn shops and other shops of his own.
Many industries in all walks of life are the private property of this commander.
Due to various reasons, many businessmen angrily criticized Yan Laoxi for not practicing martial ethics.
He even met several Shanxi merchants along the way. It is true that Shanxi people praised Yan Laoxi very much, but they were ordinary people at the bottom.
The Shanxi fellows who were doing business kept abusing Yan Laoxi, even more harshly than other people from other provinces.
It is said that all the commercial shops under Yan Laoxi's command are taking advantage of Yan Laoxi's privileges to pack goods into wooden boxes and use military carriages to transport supplies on the pretext of transporting military supplies.
As a result, shipping costs are almost zero.
It is also because the operating costs of his industry are much lower than those of other companies, so his products are simply a dimensionality reduction blow in Shanxi.
So at this time Zhang Kai somewhat understood what Zhao Ming meant.
Put money in one sentence!
good! Zhao Ming indeed thought so.
Yan Laoxi, not to mention his descendants, almost many business people these days are aware of this mudslide in the business world.
Yan Laoxi is famous for not practicing martial ethics when doing business.
This man was not only greedy for money but also very stingy. Although his thinking was right, others were exploiting local people to make money, but he took a different path.
In these days, it's pretty good. At least it's not poisoning the people. On the contrary, it's pretty good.
But this seriously undermines market competition.
It is said that this person not only squeezed his peers, but also often engaged in short-selling and short-selling transactions. He made a lot of money with his rogue hands, power and brains in the business.
He also listened to the gossip of a former eunuch and secretly bought a dilapidated palace in Peiping. It was said that there were many gold and silver treasures buried underground.
For this reason, he even spent 30,000 yuan to buy the palace, and sent hundreds of troops to dig in the palace for a full month. As a result, he invested 100,000 yuan and didn't dig out even a single hair. For this, he was laughed at by other warlords for a long time. .
But people are absolutely greedy for money and stingy. As the saying goes, what goes up leads to imitation. Zhao Ming doesn't need to be in contact with Yan Laoxi to know what the situation is like among his subordinates.
Money may not be everything in other places, but it is everything here.
"But Chief Zhao, I don't deny that your idea is a good idea, but what should we do if we lure the wolf into the house?" Boss Guo said worriedly.
It’s not that Zhao Ming doesn’t understand this concern.
"Well! Boss Guo, I'm relieved to have you as the general manager in the future, but don't worry, as I said, don't forget whose territory this is!"
The same words were said again, and Boss Guo couldn't help but think about it carefully.
After a moment, he smiled bitterly and nodded, "Sir Zhao, please don't praise me like that in the future. I feel like a fool when you say that."
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ming with emotion in his heart.
I originally thought that Chief Zhao was just a martial artist. Although he had some brains, his brains were more focused on military matters.
