People always have to mix in cliques. The higher their status is, the more they have to mix in cliques.
When a person feels that he is the smartest in this circle, it means that it is time to change circles. If you stay in a circle forever, it will be difficult to improve your achievements.
Even Chu Qing is in the same circle.
It's just that this circle goes straight to the top. In addition to the friends around him, there are also the richest merchants, the most powerful royal family members with the prefix Chang, the smartest counselors, and the best generals.
Bai Jie also mixes in circles, including the top circles of businessmen.
But Bai Jie also wants to join the family circle.
The Chamber of Commerce has grown wildly, and many shortcomings have long been exposed. The merchants who were originally begging for mercy have become louder, more confident, and more thoughtful.
How could Bai Jie not see that, but in this circle, if he wanted to stay away from someone, it was okay, but not impossible. Once he was far away, he would go downhill and become an alien.
Not to mention he has a family circle.
In the Bai family, the only one with vision, structure, and experience is Mr. Bai Bai Jie.
In the Chamber of Commerce, that is the Dragon Gate. With such a slight jump of the carp, life changes.
The small businessman transformed into a big businessman.
The big businessman transformed into a big shot.
Bai Jie didn't want to provoke any more dust, but in the eyes of the younger generation, all the dust was pure gold, money, connections, and status.
You, Bai Jie, are the head of the family, and you are not short of status, status, and money, but you can't stop us juniors from getting ahead. We are all relatives, and the outsiders of the chamber of commerce have become big shots. We are our own people and there is no reason not to give it a try.
Bai Jie couldn't stop him. He went against the Chamber of Commerce, not against a certain merchant, but against most merchants. It wasn't that he didn't have the strength, but that he didn't have the strength anymore.
He can't go against his family, he can only turn a blind eye. It can't be because he doesn't cause trouble. An old man at such an old age doesn't even want family ties. To this day, what he cares about most is family ties.
Now that Chu Qing is back and wants to investigate, he is just confused about the Chamber of Commerce and Bai Jie.
I have been tricked by you so many times, and I established twelve poor academies under great pressure. In exchange, I did not get a lot of trouble, but incomprehension. This is enough.
Qianqiying did not stare at their Bai family from beginning to end. It was enough. Bai Jie was very relieved and felt that everything was worth it. Chu Qing was still the same boy. At least to him, Bai Jie was still the same boy.
Bai Jie drank tea leisurely. Chu Qing returned to his seat and looked at each word. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Many problems in his heart were solved.
In the booklet, Bai Jie first pointed out the problem of merchants' gaze.
Merchants should not set their sights on Beijing, or even just on Zhongzhou.
Chu Qing led his people to kill everyone in Yingdao, relying on the East China Sea, so merchants should go to the three roads of the East China Sea, bring people and money, and hundreds of businesses are waiting to flourish, and there will be a broader environment for merchants to survive.
Secondly, there is the investment in skills. The workshops under the name of the Chu family and the Tao family are all special and unique. They do not monopolize the market, but constantly introduce new products, such as spirits, glass products, paper making, etc. Merchants always Just following behind and drinking soup is not a long-term solution. We should actively invest manpower and money, like Chu Mansion, to train a large number of craftsmen to innovate in skills, so as to build more workshops.
The more he looked back, the more Chu Qing admired him.
Bai Jie clearly pointed out in the booklet that merchants are the freest people and the easiest people to display their ideals and ambitions. With money and people, they not only go to the East China Sea, but also to the grasslands, limited to one city and one place. Just to be rich and prosperous is what merchants should do. A large number of people have moved to the border areas, and a large number of people from the border areas have gone to the grasslands. Then the merchants should go to the grasslands and prosper the grasslands, because the grasslands are now considered prosperous. The country.
These are very broad contents. The most written content in the booklet is about bank issues, accounting for the largest number of words.
The merchants of the Chamber of Commerce have already raised the issue of building a bank of the Chamber of Commerce. The bank is under the name of the Ministry of Revenue. However, due to imperial decrees and practical problems, not every state capital has a bank, and many of the banks are in name only. There is no large amount of capital flow at all. Here In this case, whether the chamber of commerce can set up a bank is because the chamber of commerce has a reliable reputation among the common people and even the dignitaries.
Regarding this matter, it can be seen from between the lines that Mr. Bai is deeply worried.
Because the bank was involved in a lending business, the old man felt that if the bank really started to operate, it would be like a temple issuing loan sharks and putting a large amount of money into the private sector. Based on his understanding of these merchants, he would definitely do this, and the real What is worrying is that businessmen "don't save money."
Nowadays, merchants in the Chamber of Commerce have learned how to "invest". The more money they have, the more they invest, and the more they earn.
People save money. The more money they have, the more they save, and they feel uneasy keeping it at home.
So if merchants invest people's money in a certain industry, but do not get returns in time, they will not be able to return the money to the people. It may succeed a hundred times, but once it fails, even if it is one ten thousandth If this happens, it will be a fatal blow to the bank and the chamber of commerce.
If this happens to be a war, natural disaster, or other force majeure, people will withdraw money. Private chambers of commerce and banks do not have such strong risk resistance capabilities.
The most important thing is that Bai Jie clearly pointed out in the booklet that the Chamber of Commerce is the basis for businessmen to protect themselves and fight for their legitimate interests and rights. Everyone works together to ensure that what they deserve will come to them. A shield, a shield for defense, rather than a spear, a spear for offense.
Now the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce have turned the Chamber of Commerce into a spear. This spear is not aimed at the Confucian scholars, the common people, or the court, but other merchants. It is this spear that has destroyed too many small merchants. , obliterating too many possibilities.
Chu Qing stood up and handed the pamphlet to Fu San: "Every word is precious, there is too much content, and I can't understand a lot of it. Third brother, please read it, read it thoroughly, read it thoroughly."
Fu San did not take it immediately, but came to Bai Jie and gave a heavy salute: "Young man Fu San, the guardian of the Chu Mansion, Mr. Bai, can you please allow me to watch it."
Bai Jie stood up quickly, dragged Fu San, and said with a smile: "Fu Sanfu is a strong man who is guarding the hospital in the Chu Mansion. He is both civil and military. He has new regulations on Chang's laws, drafts of Shang's laws, and new records of Buddhist disciples." These orders all come from your hands. I have been doing business for half a century, and I still want to ask you for advice."
Fu San showed a shy smile: "Mr. Bai praised me."
"It's not a compliment if you don't praise it. Your business law drafts alone have greatly increased your business tax income. I admire you, I admire you very much."
Chu Qing and Yourong Yan.
When he went to the East China Sea, the third brother was still not idle. While dialing the abacus, he kept writing down some ideas about the law. Chu Qing would copy down any good, suitable, and mature ones, which government office they related to. Which government office should be sent to? The ones that send the most are the Ministry of Revenue and Jingzhao Mansion.
"That's right." Bai Jie looked at Fu San with burning eyes: "I have a granddaughter who is slim and beautiful, and is a good child. I heard that Fu San is not married yet?"
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
No matter how easy you are to give birth, you can be better than Bihua. No matter how easy you are to give birth, Bihua will at least pretend to be two of you, and may pretend to pretend to be three of you.
Jiang Yuesheng, who seemed to be nothing, was dumbfounded: "Mr. Bai is talking about the apple of your eye, Bai Ling'er, the most talented and beautiful person in the capital?"
"Yes, it is my granddaughter."
Jiang Yuesheng said subconsciously: "I am not married yet!"
Mr. Bai didn't even look at Jiang Yuesheng, he just looked at Fu San: "How about one day, Fu San, a strong man, come and sit at home?"
Jiang Yuesheng gritted his teeth and couldn't figure out whether he should live or die.
No, what's wrong with him? In addition to not being exposed to hidden weapons, isn't he missing a scar? What's wrong with him? This is, I am the commander-in-chief of Qianqi Battalion, and he is a guardian!
