"Furthermore, as far as I know, the five department store supply and marketing cooperatives that have been opened are currently making good profits.
Especially in Suzhou City, sales reached 4 to 50,000 taels in the first five days of opening, and the net profit may be 50,000 to 60,000 taels.
There are 140 prefectures and 20 Zhili prefectures in the Ming Dynasty. If Liaodong and North Korea are included, it is estimated that there are at least 200 prefectures. With the name of the supply and marketing cooperative and the trust of the people, when all business is promoted, the net income will be increased in one year. Earn tens of millions of taels of silver.
Instead of allowing good businessmen to live a luxurious life, it would be better for the court to use this money to improve people's livelihood! "
hiss……
The ministers trembled and their breathing became rapid again.
With a profit of tens of millions of taels a year, you can do so many things.
No wonder the emperor wanted to open a supply and marketing cooperative like this.
But the officials looked at Xi Duanfan in a strange way. These words did not seem to come from a businessman.
Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Xi Duanfan didn't know what they were thinking.
Then he said in a deep voice: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. Our Dongting Merchant Gang does business based on integrity. On this basis, everyone makes money according to their own methods.
But using crooked ways, shoddy goods, monopolistic operations, etc., we look down on these, but we are unable to interfere.
Since there are department store supply and marketing cooperatives that can change this phenomenon, we naturally support it. "
"Okay, your Dongting Merchant Gang is worthy of being called the Heavenly Dongting!"
Yuan Keli praised, his eyes full of approval, and then continued: "But what Consultant Xi just said was a bit biased! It is impossible for a department store supply and marketing cooperative to make so much money, and it is even possible to lose money!"
"How is this possible? I have been in business for so many years. Although I may be wrong, the Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative..."
"Don't be impatient!"
Looking at the anxious Xi Duanfan and the confused ministers, Yuan Keli waved his hand and bowed to Chongzhen on the dragon throne, his eyes full of respect.
Then he said with a serious face: "In your Majesty's vision, even if the department store supply and marketing cooperative is losing money, the imperial court will continue to open it until it covers every state capital.
In addition to supervising other merchants and stabilizing prices, what is more important is selling goods that are in the hands of people within a radius of three to five hundred miles, such as grain, handicrafts, pickled products, mountain products, etc.
In many places, the things in people's homes are very good, but the roads are remote and the quantities are small, so merchants will not go there. The caravans of the department store supply and marketing cooperatives will regularly buy them and sell them in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
This not only allows people in remote places to sell their goods to subsidize their families, but also allows people in the city to eat local specialties from three to five hundred miles away, the best of both worlds.
If some can be stored for a long time, they can be transported thousands of miles away, even to various provincial capitals.
Doing this kind of thing always requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the money earned by the supply and marketing cooperative will naturally be used to subsidize it without letting the people suffer.
Secondly, if there is a major disaster in the local area, such as earthquakes, floods, etc., the department store supply and marketing cooperative will donate all the goods in the entire supply and marketing cooperative to help the people.
From these two points of view, it is unlikely that department store supply and marketing cooperatives will make money.
This matter is currently being planned and attempted. "
"But that doesn't mean you won't make money all the time. Maybe in a few years, when the people are rich, you can still make money."
Take it from the people, use it to the people, and give it back to the people.
This was the first thing that came to mind among the ministers. The emperor really did it.
But from this point of view, the emperor's style and courage are unmatched.
Not to mention that the officials were shocked, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong, who had already known about it, were also filled with emotion.
When the emperor came back from Suzhou and summoned the two of them to explain the matter, they were even more shocked than the ministers now.
The ministers couldn't understand the meaning, but Xi Duanfan, who was ups and downs in the business world, was shocked.
Even though it is just a simple matter like subsidy, it has a lot of mysteries. First, it solves the needs of people in remote areas. It may not necessarily be purchased directly with money, or even bartered.
This then stimulates the people to use their leisure time to do odd jobs and increase their income.
This is used to promote department store supply and marketing cooperatives. As long as children are honest, this generation and even the next generation will recognize the department store supply and marketing cooperatives.
They have money, and if they have definite needs, they will immediately choose to go to the department store supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
In the prosperous times, after the court built bridges and roads, traffic became more convenient, and it was already too late for other merchants to touch this area.
Secondly, if in the future it is revealed that the department store supply and marketing cooperative was done by the imperial court, then the people will recognize the imperial court and the emperor even more. This is the will of the people.
As for whether he will do other things in the process, such as inquiring about news, minerals, legends, etc., it is unknown.
This is only about business matters that he guessed. Is there anything else that he guessed about, such as national policies and so on?
In short, this approach is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and it is possible to achieve success in every possible way.
"cough……"
Seeing the shock of the ministers, Yuan Keli continued: "The third thing your Majesty has done is the integration of resources. Yang Qingyun should have heard of it.
He was the head of the Shandong Yang family firm who donated 500,000 taels of silver to Xuanfu City in the first year of Chongzhen.
Are you guessing that because he offended His Majesty, His Majesty secretly suppressed him and had no choice but to dissolve the Yang family business? "
Seeing the scornful expressions on the ministers' faces, Yuan Keli shook his head slightly and continued: "The dissolution of the Yang family firm is indeed related to your Majesty, but it is not because of the rumors that it offended your Majesty.
But after talking with him, His Majesty was impressed by His Majesty's peerless charm and great ambitions, and was willing to serve His Majesty and realize the dreams of His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. "
After hearing this, the ministers looked at Yuan Keli with strange expressions on their faces.
With Yuan Keli's character, he definitely wouldn't be so shameless as to flatter the emperor, but what exactly was the plan that made Yuan Keli have such an attitude?
Yuan Keli seemed not to notice everyone's expressions and continued: "The main task of Yang Qingyun and his most trusted group of people is to travel around the Ming Dynasty.
Statistics of things that are unique to each place, such as origin, output, cost, market size, etc., as well as preferences and needs of each place, etc.
As long as the Ming Dynasty clarifies and the court fully promotes the development of commerce, it will be able to quickly and accurately circulate goods from various places, and even transport them directly out of the Ming Dynasty and trade with overseas countries. "
Fuck...
After Yuan Keli finished speaking, the ministers were once again shocked by the emperor's foresight and thoughtfulness.
The emperor took care of everything step by step and considered the entire process from source to end.
The only difference is that the time is right. Once the time is ripe, it is likely that various places will develop in a very short period of time.
What's even more frightening is that Yang Qingyun has joined forces with the department store supply and marketing cooperative. He knows what people everywhere need and reduces the time of fumbling. He is simply invincible.
Any business gang between the two will be suppressed and unable to hold its head high.
"Of course, in addition to these three major items, there are also some scattered preparations!"
