"As the center of the former Yugoslavia, Nanjing has countless wealthy merchants, but can we really have a monopoly?"
"Is it true that no one can compete with us?"
“We may be able to monopolize some of the goods, but we definitely can’t monopolize them all. Silk and cloth from Suzhou, tea from Hangzhou and Fujian… these are all recognized as the best in the Ming Dynasty, and these happen to be the most profitable.
Secondly, aside from the merchants in Nanjing and Hangzhou, you have also ignored the largest caravan! "
The largest caravan?
Everyone was deep in thought, their eyes twinkling.
"Longyou Merchant Gang? No, right? They are famous for their jewelry, book, and paper business, but Liaodong doesn't seem to be very interested in this!"
"Zheng Zhilong's caravan? But they have been broken up and surrendered to the imperial court. They are mainly maritime merchants. If they dare to enter the interior of the Ming Dynasty, they will probably die without knowing how. They are not stupid!"
"Huizhou merchants? This is possible. They mainly deal in salt, grain, wood and antiques. They are adventurous and smart. They join forces and form monopoly alliances. They have accumulated huge wealth over the years."
…
"You guys...hey, tell me what you want!"
Listening to everyone's speculation and discussion, the old man in the first seat had a look of hatred on his face: "It's right under your noses, can't you see it?"
"Mr. Xi, you are not talking about the department store supply and marketing cooperative, are you? But although they are developing very fast, they only have five stores at present. Even if they make money, how much can they make? They..."
"Don't you think about how he appeared?"
After the old man finished speaking, he fell silent and drank tea by himself.
He can control things for a while, but not for a lifetime. He has such shallow eyelids that he deserves to be swallowed up.
Everyone in the lobby began to think.
"The Ming Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative appeared in Suzhou for the first time. It was located at the residence of the Wu family, a smelting family."
"The current shopkeeper is Sun Chunyang, the former owner of Suzhou Chengnan Store."
"When it opened, Suzhou magistrate Zhou Tingru personally came to congratulate it, and Cao San, the head of Qicaobang Suzhou Hall, presented a huge three-legged golden toad to Cao San."
"During this period, all the major shops in Suzhou were sealed because of their opposition to the government, and they were not released until the department store supply and marketing cooperative opened!"
“The prices of goods in department store supply and marketing cooperatives have always been controlled within a reasonable range, so other shops have no choice but to get close!”
…
Everyone was talking to each other, quickly analyzing and adding to the emergence of department store supply and marketing cooperatives.
But he still didn't understand what Xi Lao wanted to express.
"Two months ago, the department store supply and marketing cooperative in Nanjing opened. I went there and saw a young man. I happened to know this young man. His name was Yang Shaoan, and his father's name was Yang Qingyun."
"Yang Qingyun?"
The person below frowned slightly and whispered in a very uncertain tone: "Mr. Liu, the Yang Qingyun you are talking about is not the helmsman of the Yang family firm in Shandong!"
"right!"
"Is that the Yang Qingyun who called that young man at Xuanfu Mutual Market?"
"right!"
"Yang Qingyun who donated five hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"That's right!"
hiss……
The middle-aged man who took action shivered all over, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
After a few breaths, the middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a wry smile: "If you read it right, then this is going to be a big deal. I didn't expect it!"
"Yes, if it hadn't been for Ningyuan Mutual Market, I would have never mentioned this matter. How long could I have kept it a secret!"
"But on the other hand, the business environment will be better in the future!"
…
"No, Mr. Xi and Brother Weng, what are you talking about? What is going on in this department store supply and marketing cooperative?"
"What is the origin of this Yang Qingyun?"
"Who is the person you are talking about?"
…
A group of people in the mist asked in low voices, their faces full of curiosity.
"Mr. Xi, since that person didn't cover up, he didn't want to hide it forever. I guess many people in Suzhou have guessed it.
As long as we don't make a fuss about this, it won't be a big problem.
You should talk to everyone so that you don't hit the iron plate in the future and die without knowing how. "
The leader of the old man nodded and looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken: "Qiming, go outside and walk around, don't let anyone come near here!"
After the middle-aged man left, the old man's face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "What I will say in a moment will only stop at this lobby.
I won’t recognize you after you leave here. If something happens in the future, I will have nothing to do with you. "
"The person behind the Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative is probably His Majesty. Please note, I am talking about Your Majesty, not the court!"
hiss……
Everyone in the entire lobby instantly took a breath.
His eyes were full of horror.
Now they finally knew why the middle-aged man was suddenly sweating.
This is simply a shocking secret. They are really blind to the true Buddha.
Seemingly seeing disbelief in everyone's eyes, the old man continued: "Yang Qingyun was the helmsman of the Yang family business in Shandong, but after meeting the emperor in Xuanfu, he dissolved the Yang family business, and his son entered the department store supply and marketing cooperative;
The Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative only came out after His Majesty's visit to Suzhou, and it's still that kind of stall.
Secondly, why did the leader of the Cao Gang die inexplicably? Why was it replaced by Cao Zhen, the leader of Suzhou Hall? "
"There are so many businessmen in Suzhou, whether it's opening a business or celebrating a birthday, will anyone be able to go to Caogang?"
Everyone was silent.
When you string these things together, you will find that there is a huge driving force behind it all.
The Wu family, a smelting family, fought against the government. In the end, the Wu family went to Beijing, but their mansion opened a department store supply and marketing cooperative.
Under that situation, who would dare to buy a property that already belongs to the government, and the government did it so neatly, almost as soon as the property was copied, the property was sold to the Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The emperor was still in Suzhou. How could Zhou Tingru be so stupid as to do this to a businessman?
The Yang family firm is not considered big if it is said to be big, and it is not considered small if it is said to be small. If it is said to be disbanded, it will be disbanded.
Sun Chunyang's Southern Goods Store was synonymous with integrity in Suzhou City, but it closed down without warning and joined the Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The Cao Gang directly changed its leader and even went to congratulate him in person.
The strange thing is that the Suzhou businessmen did not secretly make trouble.
The Yang family caravan is responsible for doing business and buying goods everywhere;
Sun Chunyang is a business genius and an honest person. He is responsible for business operations and has a steady flow of customers;
Caobang is responsible for transporting or preferentially transporting the goods of the Yang family firm, and even said that he deliberately suppresses the goods of other firms when other merchants are causing trouble;
The government is responsible for providing money, venues, and approving directions, store calendars, etc.;
Once the line is down, all are connected.
No other merchant has such an advantage. It can be said that as long as the department store supply and marketing cooperative does not seek death, it will definitely become a giant.
The number one store in Ming Dynasty in the future.
The strength of the Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative is indeed unmatched by them, and Ningyuan Mutual Market will definitely take a share of the pie.
"Mr. Xi, since Taizu founded the country, it has been decided that the imperial court will not compete with the people for profit. Although there are imperial houses and imperial shops, they are all confiscated from homes... But now that the department store supply and marketing cooperative is opened, the nature of it is It’s different.”
