Chapter 1898 Dayu controls floods, Dahan Chamber of Commerce
Fei Qian had originally asked Xun You to take these guys to discuss business-related issues, but after thinking about it, Xun You's talent in this area may not be perfect, so he still had to make the hard trip himself.
After all, although Xun You was smart, he did not have Fei Qian's vision from later generations. Therefore, if he relied entirely on Xun You, Fei Qian might have saved himself a short time, but it might become more verbose later, so Fei Qian might as well come and communicate with these people in person.
This eliminates the inevitable attenuation or misunderstanding of meaning during the communication process.
Business law can be generally regarded as a business platform, and the one who formulates the terms and conditions is naturally the powerful party. Of course, everyone wants such power.
Seeing everyone fighting for power, Fei Qian smiled slightly and asked Huang Xu beside him to fetch the cloth bag he was carrying. Then, like Kong Yiji, he placed dozens of big coins in the hall... uh, gold.
fan.
The gold-painted fan was the most pirated product among all products under Fei Qian's rule. Firstly, the gold-painted fan product had a simple structure, and secondly, the demand was huge, so it naturally became the target of unscrupulous merchants.
The business platform is very important, but the goals and direction of the business platform are more important...
"Send them all down... Everyone, let's take a look, what's the difference?" Fei Qian pointed to everyone in the hall and asked the guards to send these gold-painted fans to each person's desk.
Historically, the earliest records of piracy and anti-piracy seem to be in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, Si Tianjian printed calendars for public sale every year. However, like Sichuan, due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, few Chang'an Si Tianjian calendars arrived. However, the people were accustomed to using calendars to confirm their decisions.
own production and life, so there are unscrupulous businessmen piracy.
Later, due to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, many people from Chang'an fled to Sichuan and Shu for refuge. It turned out that the calendars of Sichuan and Shu were different, with different sizes of months and months. There were many differences from what they bought in Chang'an, and the people who sold them were all different.
He swore that he was right to sell the calendar.
During the dispute, the stalemate persisted, so they went to the government to discuss the merits. As a result, the local official said: "It's a big month and a small month. What does it matter if the difference is a day and a half? This is a trivial matter, why bother in court?" So they gave both parties a five-five.
Shi Ban, he was kicked out of the court and settled.
Is it a trivial matter?
It was a trivial matter. After all, it was the Anshi Rebellion at that time, and the officials were naturally panic-stricken. They wondered if the sky above their heads would change color. Naturally, the authenticity of a mere almanac was regarded as a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
But it's also a big deal.
Human beings have not had the concept of piracy since ancient times. When did it exist? After discovering that something innovative and created by others has value, some people steal it and make it their own.
Only by continuous innovation and creation in human society can the overall production and living standards continue to progress and develop. If everyone is waiting to steal other people's things, and they are not ashamed and will not be punished, can such a society be saved?
Fei Qian watched everyone passing the gold-painted fans around to each other, and then pinched the beard on his chin. Well, I'm afraid he'll never have a long and shiny beard like Guan Yu's in this life. This is a talent, unless he also pirates it.
One, take some other people's hair and stick it on your chin, but does that still count as your own beard? Isn't it just like the costumes in Peking Opera?
"It's easy to tell the authenticity of this item..." Cui Hou himself specializes in selling these luxury goods for nobles. Naturally, he can see many differences at a glance, and he disdains those shoddy and shoddy products. "The products made by Chang'an Gongfang
, the bones are thin and moist, the paint is flat and smooth, the brocade used is smooth and has no sticky patchwork, and the gold wire is inlaid, so it is faintly visible! In addition, the fan nails in the workshop are all made of bronze, and imitations are mostly used.
Bamboo and wood are easily broken over time..."
Fei Qian nodded slowly, then looked at the other people.
Cui Hou said it in more detail, so other people didn't have any additional fresh points of difference to add.
After Fei Qian and others had seen it, he said, "Since there are so many differences, why are there so many buyers?"
"This..." Cui Hou's eyes wandered twice and he didn't answer immediately.
Fei Qian secretly laughed in his heart. Strictly speaking, a luxury product like this would be within Cui Hou's jurisdiction. However, Cui Hou was obviously like the local official who said "it's only a day or two away" and did not treat piracy as such.
The matter was serious, so when Fei Qian asked now, it was naturally difficult to answer.
This is not a problem of Cui Hou alone, but a lack of an entire concept, so this is why Fei Qian has summoned his men to come here together.
Fei Qian did not ask Cui Hou, but pointed at Pei Jun, "Fengxian, let's talk..." Pei Jun's name is also Fengxian, but the value of force is far worse than that of the other Fengxian.
Pei Jun quickly glanced at Fei Qian's face, then lowered his head and said, "Maybe it's because the price is high and the family is poor..."
Fei Qian nodded, then pointed at Zhuo Liang and said, "What do Meng Fu think?"
Zhuo Liang quickly held up his hands and said: "The land of Sichuan and Sichuan is remote and difficult to find in the pass, so it is easy to imitate..." I don't know whether it was because the weather was still a little hot or for some other reason, but beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Fei Qian nodded slightly without comment and glanced at Zhen Mi beside him. Before he could speak, he heard Zhen Mi say: "There are also imitations in Jizhou, but they are all bought by poor families to fill up their appearance. How can a wealthy family look at it?"
To get such a bad thing..."
Oh, Zhen Mi, what you said is really interesting.
Lina Gu, a Baishi Qiangtou man, said: "The one I use is good! It's the same as this one! But many people over there don't use it, and few people buy it. They say this thing breaks too easily! It's not easy to use!"
Fei Qian smiled and nodded.
That's right, folding fans are for daily leisure use. If you use them to fan the fire or something...
The big item of luxury goods for the Hu people is not the folding fan, so the problem of Baishiqiang is not big, because this is a process of enlightenment. For the Han people themselves, the gold-painted fan may be an ordinary luxury product, but for the Hu people,
It is a tool for education and attachment, and naturally its meaning and value are somewhat different.
"If you have a visitor, come to the market and buy grain, oil, vinegar, wine, meat, fish, and some wine..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "When I was about to pay, I said that my family was living in poverty and poverty, so I asked the store to reduce or waive the payment."
, Is that okay? If the shopkeeper doesn’t want to, then he scolds the shopkeeper for being unkind and merciless, and angrily throws the oil pot and wine jar and walks away, what’s his behavior?”
"How can there be such a villain?! If someone encounters him, he will be arrested and sent away to punish his crime!" Cui Hou frowned and said, "If you don't have money, you should use it for yourself. How can you defraud others? You should use robbery.
Robbery!』
"Since you know that you are poor, you should strive to make progress. How can you just beg for money? Doesn't this mean that you will fall like a refugee? It will bring shame to the clan! Anyone who has a little understanding of the meaning of Zhongzheng should not do this. If there is such a thing
, We should take heavy responsibility and serve as a warning to others!" As for the example mentioned by Fei Qian, Pei Jun also couldn't understand this kind of rational thinking mode. He believed that if there are still some integrity in his heart, he should not change.
Become such a person.
Fei Qian laughed and pointed to the gold-painted fan on the table.
Everyone was suddenly either stunned or frightened.
There was only a pop, but Zhuo Liang crawled into the hall, kowtowed repeatedly, his body trembled, "I am guilty! I am guilty!"
Among the gold-painted fans that Fei Qian took out, there was one imitated by Zhuo's own family. Zhuo Liang naturally recognized it. At first, he wanted to pretend to be ignorant and muddle through, but after hearing Fei Qian's example, Cui Hou and Pei Jun
He expressed that he wanted to be severely punished, so he couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty. At least he could turn himself in and see if the punishment could be reduced to some extent...
"In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, the plank roads are simple and simple, and the canyons are difficult to navigate. This is natural..." Fei Qian looked at Zhuo Liang and said slowly, "But what is business? Businessmen switch careers from north to south, transport things, and go through history."
The wind blows through the frost, swallowing the dust and dirt, and then you can get its benefits. How can you just seek the simple things because the road is simple? If this is the case, who in the world will be willing to make beautiful things? Go back to your seat first, and wait for the rest.
Go to the department and take the blame directly!』
Zhuo Liang kowtowed again and returned to his seat tremblingly.
If Fei Qian only wants to maintain the feudal hierarchy, pursue the stability of feudal rule, and constantly squeeze the grassroots people, then he will not care about the issue of piracy or not, and will even take the initiative to give away some for free.
Cheap things are used to paralyze the people at the grassroots level, making these people think that "being poor is justified" and "being poor can get benefits". There are free things available, so why waste money, spend a lot of energy, and work hard?
Strive to invent and create?
There are many factors that make a nation strong, but I believe that one of them must stem from a nation's own creativity, and this creativity cannot be achieved by a small group of people, or the top class, but needs to be allowed to
The whole nation has the spirit of innovation and creation. To ensure this spirit of the whole nation, we must ensure that these innovations and creations can obtain corresponding rewards.
If once you fall into a caste system like that of Asan in later generations, and the classes are completely solidified, all the vitality will disappear instantly, and the rulers at the top who have the most resources and the most knowledge do not want to lead the entire society and the entire nation forward, but
There must be more focus on how to protect one's dominance.
Just like in order to meet the needs of the emperor or the nobles, the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty made all kinds of incredible instruments and items, but these things only met the temporary needs of the emperor or the nobles, and then were thrown into the warehouse, the seismometer,
The mileage cart is like a more complex and exquisite toy. Once you get tired of playing with it, no one will care about it.
If Fei Qian wants to bring the Chinese nation to a higher position, he must mobilize all Chinese people, not just the small group of nobles.
Just like the universal Lordship system that Feiqian is planning to launch, when everyone pays and works hard, they will find that they have been improved, and then they will feel that what they have paid, whether it is labor or life, is valuable.
Instead of it being taken away for free or pirated.
Fei Qian believed that if the Chinese nation wanted to break away from geographical restrictions and break through the limitations of the mountains and rivers surrounding China during the feudal dynasty, it must rely on the strength of the entire Chinese nation, so the vitality of the entire Chinese nation must be guaranteed.
In order to maintain its own vitality and at the same time more effectively control and weaken external nations, in addition to necessary military means, there is also a very important means, which is the export of culture.
Free and pirated copies are very vicious means of exporting culture to foreign countries!
This cruel and insidious method is used externally, not on the internal public.
This is especially true for foreign teenagers, because their thinking has not yet been finalized and their three views are being established. This is the best time to let these foreign teenagers grow crooked and crippled.
Tell these foreign teenagers that "study is not important, happiness is important", let these foreign teenagers completely pursue sensual happiness and give up thinking in their heads, and then add that "effort is an idiot, and struggle is a fool",
You don’t have to work hard and there are still free things you can get and use. As long as you kneel down and kowtow and beg, you will have something to eat and drink...
Turn a blind eye to foreign piracy, and only wait until the innovation and creativity of the foreign people are destroyed, then you can start harvesting, and by that time...
After three generations, or even without three generations, a nation's culture can be destroyed.
Today's Southern Xiongnu has entered the second generation, and the effect has gradually become obvious. Many children of the Southern Xiongnu only know that China has many good things, Chinese clothes are also beautiful, and Chinese food is delicious. Basically, they can say anything.
They are all good from China. If you ask what is good about the Southern Huns, these children of the Southern Huns will be at a loss...
With free things and blatant piracy allowed, how many people will insist on self-innovation and creation?
Just like if it weren't for the strong "support" of Comrade Chuan Jianguo in later generations, would anyone think that "Hongmeng" is very important? Isn't there a free one that can be used anyway? So why spend money and energy on it? Isn't it thankless?
Fei Qian looked around and saw that everyone was silent, so he turned his head slightly and signaled Huang Xu to take out the second bag, then took out the contents of the bag and arranged them one by one.
"This...this is..."
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by several new folding fans that appeared in the hall.
"This is a fan hidden in boots. It is made of gold as the bone and cloth as the surface. It is short, portable, strong and durable. It has an external hook and can be hung in the boots. It is always ready when on the road..." Fei Qian opened a fan with a clatter.
, shook it twice, and then handed it to the guard, indicating to the guard to pass it around to everyone.
"This is a gold and silver fan, covered with gold and silver foil, with a jade pendant. It also has the four words "seeking truth and seeking truth" personally written by the great scholar Mr. Shui Jing. What's the price? Haha, it's naturally expensive..."
"This is a sandalwood fan. It is made of sandalwood and carved with patterns. When it is swayed, a subtle fragrance floats..."
"This is a blank fan, made of tear bamboo as the bone and bamboo paper as the surface. It can be used for writing poems and paintings, and for splashing ink. It is suitable for people who want to express their ideas..."
"This is a fan in the boudoir. It is made of thin silk as the surface and decorated with embroidery. It is sparse and well-organized. It slightly reveals the scenery, and it can be used to cover the face for viewing..."
After Fei Qian introduced them one by one, he pointed to the Baishi Qiang man who was holding the Hidden Boot Fan and looked at it and said: "Linagu, your people mostly walk in the suburbs, and the gold-painted fan is easy to break and is not useful. But this Hidden Boot Fan
, the skin test is durable and easy to carry, what do you think? Will anyone want it? 』
"Good! This is good!" The Baishi Qiang-headed man held the hidden fan in his hand and fanned the wind. He was full of praise, "This is good! Good! Convenient, really convenient, this is it! What's the price and how many items are there?
?』
Fei Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "For purchasing matters, let's go to Gongda..." Then he turned to look at the other people, "Everyone, do you understand?"
For some people, the quality of a business platform may be whether it can make money or use it to make more money. But if it can improve their horizons a little bit and change the perspective slightly from money.
If you raise it a little higher, then maybe there are different ideas and methods...
When Yu the Great controlled floods, it was better to block them than to remove them.
Free and piracy are like a raging flood. If Feiqian wants to control it now, can he only rely on "blocking"? Or should he grit his teeth and stamp his feet and jump into the flood himself, becoming a part of free and piracy, and complicit in the same trend?
?
One hand has a big stick and the other has a carrot. Everyone seems to know this when talking about it, but what about doing it? They only know how to threaten with a big stick, but when it is time to give carrots, they are reluctant to part with it.
, get rid of the problem with some weeds? Or simply swallow the carrots by yourself, and then use a big stick to rob?
Fei Qian took out the gold-painted fans and these new fans, just to tell his men, look, this is the direction, this is the way to go!
This is the pattern and future direction that China should have!
Zhuo Liang rushed out first, threw himself to the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord is wise! My subordinates are sitting on the precious land without knowing it, seeking short-term gains at the expense of the long-term, which is really stupid! Now that my lord has given me advice, it is like getting nectar from a long drought!"
The sky has five elements, the earth has five bodies, and there are many bamboos in Sichuan and Sichuan. The white bamboo fan should be the best! If the white fan can be made to the extreme, or based on it, and new products can be added, how can it not be famous in the world? My lord is above
, if there are still people in the Zhuo family who are crazy about seeking perfection, greedy and imitating, I don’t need my lord to take action, so I will raise my head to see you! I hope my lord will show mercy, and my subordinates will definitely die in retribution and die!"
Almost as soon as Zhuo Liang's voice fell, Zhen Mi immediately said: "The general's intention is clear to Mi. The things that are stolen and imitated can only retain their form but not their spirit. Like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror, although they are temporarily profitable,
It won't last long! There is camphor in Yu and fine silk in Lu. If the general does not abandon it, I am also willing to sell sandalwood on my behalf. I have two fans in the boudoir. I will devote all my efforts to the Zhen family to research and follow up. It will take three years, no, two years.
Within the country, these two things will definitely be spread all over the north and south of Hebei and Henan, and they will enter the boudoir of thousands of daughters!"
Cui Hou tightly held the gold and silver fan and did not let go. He also expressed sincerely and sincerely that he had failed Fei Qian's expectations and failed to do good things. Now he realized his mistake and was willing to make up for it, and then emphasized that he was selling luxury goods.
With sufficient experience, I will definitely carry forward the gold and silver fan series to make up for previous mistakes...
Pei Jun said that many people in the North would like the Shoe Tibetan Fan, and then he and the Baishi Qiangtou people almost got into an argument on the spot over who would take the lead...
Feiqian finally asked everyone to negotiate and formulate relevant details, such as how to define counterfeiting and imitation, how to divide the origin and distribution, how to reward R&D innovation, etc. He first came up with a general framework, and then revised it according to the subsequent situation.
The issuing party of these rules and regulations is no longer the Cavalry General's Mansion, but...
