Chapter 158 The Inescapable Economic Law
In the sixth year of Xianchun, the Investors' Conference of the Navigation Guild was a little depressed
After several years of crazy trade, buyers in the Indian Ocean have begun to regain their rationality and say "no" to those super high asking prices. Because there are many representatives from investors in the fleet, investors do not think that Zhao Jiaren is exaggerating or deliberately making trouble.
All investors related to deep processing such as embroidery are silent. Their business is doing well and their profits are steadily rising. In the midst of bleakness, they do not want to be noticed.
The profit that once could reach 1,000% profit plummeted to 60%, and investors obviously couldn't stand it. Many people borrowed usury locally and transferred to it. The 60% profit was just the gross profit on the books. It turned out that they could get 30% of the profit, but now they can only get 15%. Those who borrowed usury were equivalent to losing money.
But those people couldn't say it. The bank had explicit regulations that it was not allowed to invest in the bank with usury. Everyone signed self-discipline clauses to ensure that they would not make such mistakes. Since they could not publicly scold them, these gangs of investors who were so angry that they could not help but start spreading the saying "bank with bank pills" around.
Zhao Jiaren is too lazy to pay attention to them. There will be losers everywhere. No matter what others think, Zhao Jiaren thinks that regularly eliminating these people will help social progress. The rogue proletariat is a group of people with great destructive power, because they are not just without money, but also because they completely lose hope, so they are extremely hostile to everything. They are almost hostile to the entire human society, and the reason why they have not done more bad things is simply because they are so weak that they dare not do it.
In a sense, these failed investors already have a certain mentality of this rogue proletarian. It is not me who is wrong, but the world who is wrong.
The rationalists account for the majority in the Investors' Conference. We originally wanted to find out which types of goods had problems. After some summary and discussion, all types of goods had this problem. To be more precise, high-priced goods in each category encountered this problem.
‘Pill!’ ‘Pill!’ ‘Maritime Trade Pill!’’ People who spread such remarks are on a growing trend.
For these people who are addicted to 1000% profit, this is almost the truth. Since 1000% is what they believe is the bottom line, 60% is of course a pill.
The embroidery representatives were each wearing sweat to Sima Kao, a famous investor in Suzhou. "Sima Gong, can you let the guild not talk about embroidery?"
No one likes to show off his wealth, and no one likes to be maliciously viewed by others. Tianzhu and Dashi merchants have begun to turn a blind eye to solid silk and have shown great interest in embroidery. There are the complete logo design ideas provided by Zhao Jiaren and the sketch staff provided by the cadre school. The embroidery industry designed a complete logo design plan for a Tianzhu divine king, including his badge, and completed the complete embroidery for him. The transaction made huge profits.
In addition, ordinary embroidery products in the style of Tianzhu and Dashi are sold in large quantities, and some embroidery products with the cross-cultural pattern are also sold very well.
Such a successful case was used by Zhao Jiaren as a case of "product localization". It is difficult to tell whether those lost investors have understood the concept of "product localization", but they believe that the embroidery industry has stolen the limelight and made profits from everyone's failure.
No one can accept such malicious intentions. The embroidery representatives do not want to give up this huge profitable deal. I hope Sima Kao can come out and talk to everyone.
Sima Kao lowered his head and pondered. Of course, he supported the embroidery representatives, thinking that the malicious slaughter group was indeed too much, but Sima Kao did not want to provoke an opposition. He advised: "Everyone, you can bear it anymore. Those people are not targeting you. You see, aren't the people who sell towels also scolded miserably?"
Towels are also reprocessed industries. This kind of product is not only popular in Tianzhu and Dashi, but also in all places. In addition, the price is not high, so it seems particularly popular.
After hearing Sima Kao's words, the embroidery representatives shook their heads repeatedly, "The ones who produce towels are Zhao Daren's subordinates, so of course they are not afraid!"
Sima Kao can only say so much, and he himself can't change people's emotions with just a few words. This is the emotions caused by money.
In such a state of boiling negative emotions, the Navigation Association finally came up with an annual summary report. The report clearly told investors that the era of huge profits has ended and everyone has to face reality.
Between March and April and September, each investor must prepare the content of their investment. Representatives of the embroidery industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou were treated very negatively at the investors' meeting of the Navigation Guild. However, when they return to Suzhou and Hangzhou, they hope that the cooperation will continue to come to their doors, and they will become very popular immediately.
In the past two years, the embroidery industry has recovered from the monetary inflation caused by the war. The workers have once again entered a full-load state. In addition to inviting old workers as much as possible, various embroidery industries have also begun to recruit a large number of new workers. However, embroidery is not a job that can be started overnight, and embroidery workers for two years are also novices.
There were so many people asking for investment, and the owner of the embroidery store held a meeting in Gusu. The people present were not proud, and everyone's attitude was quite conservative.
"In the past two years, too many spices have been shipped back, and the price has dropped less than half of what it was a few years ago. Originally, I could only use copper coins to buy spices, but now some people are forced to buy them by paying money."
"There are no copper coins in Tianzhu and Dashi. In order to buy our things, they probably have almost emptied gold and silver. There are also spices in Tianzhu. Dashi merchants have already begun to want to sell horses to us. What do we want horses to do?"
...
It is obvious that the embroidery industry also encounters various problems. Although these people do not have the concept of general equivalents, nor do they have the concept of general currency in international trade. But these people all feel that they seem to suffer losses in trade.
Based on everyone's position, representatives of the embroidery industry said that under the current situation, the production capacity cannot be expanded rashly. However, everyone felt that the number of apprentices recruited could be temporarily expanded. No matter how they felt at a disadvantage, the overall profits increased a lot. According to everyone in the meeting, "It is still okay to feed a few more mouths."
Jia Sidao, the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, did not know that the embroidery industry in the Song Dynasty actually held a meeting and also got a very interesting meeting conclusion. What he knew, or what he was concerned about was the tax on public fields, grain and cotton from Gusu.
Just like Zhao Jiaren's past experience, the two have been completed with quality and quantity. Other places have become increasingly opposed to public and field reforms, and the three places where Zhao Jiaren intervened have no voices of opposition. So Jia Xianggong's attention has returned to understanding the siege of Xiangyang.
