Fuck...
Everyone was confused again.
What did they hear?
The court guarantees that it will not be able to refund the money used to buy the shop? Can business still operate like this?
A person from behind suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Bi Shangshu, I apologize for being rude, but I have a question for you to clarify.
What do you mean by rent? Could it be that the shops in the mutual market can still be rented out? "
"certainly!"
Bi Ziyan smiled and said: "Your Majesty said, the mutual market is a mutual market for all people in the world. Everyone in the world can participate. Caravans, firms, and individuals can participate.
However, because personal risk resistance, financial resources, etc. are far inferior to those of caravans and companies, part of them will be leased to individuals for operation. "
"How many shops will there be in Ningyuan this time? How many will be given to individuals?"
"Don't worry about this now. I will announce the details later."
"Bi Shangshu, since the imperial court has taken all the details, the requirements for merchants must be very high, and the rent or purchase fees must also be high."
"clever!"
Bi Ziyan looked at the person who spoke and said with a serious face: "This is exactly the rules for purchasing and leasing that I will talk about next!"
Without waiting for anyone to ask further questions, he continued: "You should know what happened in Suzhou's business community during His Majesty's southern tour of Suzhou last year, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent instantly.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at the businessman in Suzhou, but the face of the businessman in Suzhou suddenly changed, his face turned red, and he slowly lowered his head.
Being stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes, even if they were used to seeing strong winds and waves, they did not have the courage to look at them at the moment.
They felt even more bitter and uneasy in their hearts. Could it be that the emperor had a grudge and would not allow them to participate in this investment conference?
If you don't participate, you won't participate. You can earn some money at most, but if you are named by the government... Bi Ziyan, then Suzhou businessmen will probably be targeted by the business community in the future. This is the most scary thing.
Looking at the Suzhou businessmen with their heads lowered, Bi Ziyan was secretly happy in his heart. If it weren't for the emperor's generosity, he would have plenty of ways to kill them through commercial means.
To dare to unite to fight against the government and create chaos in people's livelihood is simply giving him eye candy.
"Because of the incident in Suzhou, the prefect of Suzhou, Zhou Tingru, came up with a system that linked credibility levels and road guidance. I think this is a great initiative.
Now the business environment in Suzhou is excellent. This is naturally thanks to the businessmen in Suzhou. In order to thank them, I will no longer pursue this matter and let it pass.
Therefore, the newly opened Ningyuan Mutual Market not only maintains the original registration system, warranty system, store calendar and clearance system, but
There will also be a new system linking credit rating assessment to recording. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be cleared out directly. They will not be allowed to enter the mutual market again for three years, and the deposit will not be refunded.
Regarding this point, if you have any questions, you can ask them and I will be responsible for answering them! "
The businessmen began to whisper among themselves.
Some are happy and some are sad.
What is the basis of the credit rating system?
Honesty and trustworthiness, treat others sincerely.
What is honesty and trustworthiness? No shortcomings, no shortage of goods, no shoddy products, no fakes, keep promises, etc.!
What does it mean to treat people sincerely? Kindness, equality, no discrimination, good service, etc.!
Is this difficult to do? It's definitely not difficult.
Because these are the most basic things that businessmen should have, but most of them are so blinded by interests that they ignore them.
"Master Bi, what does this deposit mean?"
"No matter whether you buy a shop or rent a shop, you have to pay a sum of money and store it in the Commercial Department of the mutual market.
The main function is to compensate workers for wages, payment for goods from partners, counterfeit goods, etc. when your business is not doing well.
Depending on the type of goods you handle, it can range from a hundred taels to a few thousand taels.
Don't worry, as long as you do business normally, all the original amounts will be returned when you withdraw.
With the reserves of the imperial palace, I really look down upon your little guarantee silver. "
Everyone smiled coquettishly.
But thinking back, it was exactly what Bi Ziyan said.
It’s unclear how much money is in the Hubu Taichou, but how many homes of corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen, gentry, and feudal princes and clans have been confiscated over the years? He also destroyed the slaves and conquered the Korean and Mongolian tribes.
The money in the entire warehouse was definitely the richest in the history of the Ming Dynasty... and even the entire Central Plains dynasty.
Amidst the laughter, someone stood up again: "Bi Shangshu, is this credibility assessment the government's own assessment? What if an official targets a certain merchant?"
"This is a good question, but I believe that businessmen in Suzhou are the ones who feel the most about this issue. Who can stand up and speak out?"
Listening to Bi Ziyan's words, Suzhou businessmen were full of confusion.
Then Ye Longxi, the head of the Ye family, stood up and took a deep breath: "My dear friend, the problem you are worried about does not exist at all. Credit evaluation is multi-faceted.
It is jointly evaluated by the common people, the government, and merchants on the street. The highest and lowest scores are removed and the average is calculated. There will also be unannounced visits, etc. There is no deliberate targeting.
In addition, if you feel it is unfair, you can file a complaint with the higher-level government. For example, if you are a businessman in Suzhou City, you can go directly to the Chief Secretary of Jiangsu Province.
Officials would never dare to ignore us with the same mentality that doing more is worse than doing less. Because this is lazy administration, they will be found out by the imperial inspection team, and they will be dismissed from their posts or jailed at worst.
For nearly a year since last year, no unfair or targetable things have happened to merchants in Suzhou City.
It's okay to have a place in one government. This newly opened mutual market is the one that the imperial court attaches most importance to. It's absolutely okay. You can rest assured! "
After responding, Ye Longxi bowed his hands towards Bi Ziyan and sat down slowly.
Everyone fell silent and thought carefully.
Especially businessmen in Shaanxi, Guangxi, and Yunnan. After all, they are too far away. They have only heard about this, and they don't know the specific operations.
Now that they said this, they suddenly realized.
Immediately, the scene erupted in discussion, and most people had smiles on their faces.
"Okay, this is good!"
"Okay, if that's the case, then I like this system so much!"
"Yes, I also want to make clean money, but there is something wrong with every line. I am forced to do nothing!"
“Finally, we don’t have to attract customers to deliver goods, and we don’t have to worry about getting food or asking for money. By saving this, the price of goods can be lowered, and the people can also benefit.”
"That's right, in this excellent business environment, if you can't make money anymore, then it's your own problem!"
Businessmen who usually treat people well and give in are happy.
And those who usually have a bad reputation, are average, and like to cheat and have fun, naturally have a sad face.
Without those shady means, how can they compete with it?
