The merchants who were invited looked at the stage and pricked up their ears.
Qin Huaidao was not a person who liked nonsense, so he got straight to the point: "Everyone, the Investment Promotion Conference, as the name suggests, invites you to come over to discuss cooperation. I believe everyone knows what kind of goods I have, so I won't go into details one by one, so as not to waste time.
Here, I will tell you four rules."
Everyone kept their eyes unblinking for fear of missing it.
In fact, the goods produced by Qinjiazhuang are so good that you don’t have to worry about selling them. You can make a profit just by getting them.
"Rule number one."
Qin Huaidao continued to speak loudly: "The imperial court divided the Tang Dynasty into ten states and 358 states. I divided the regions according to states. To put it simply, for example, the old man of Bashu and Song Dynasty..."
"I have met the King of Han, thank you to the King of Han for still remembering me!" Mr. Song stood up and bowed, his face full of pride.
Qin Huaidao returned the favor, motioned for the other party to sit down and continued: "For the convenience of explanation and for everyone's understanding, I will take Mr. Song as an example. For example, Mr. Song took over the management rights of Yizhou and Suizhou, and the goods he took from me
It can only be sold in these two places, and cross-state shipments are not allowed to avoid unfair competition."
What do businessmen fear most? Unable to compete.
Once the area is demarcated, and each family sells within the designated range, they don't have to worry about others coming in and becoming a unique business, so they can sit back and relax, and still make money to death?
No one is a fool to come to the meeting on behalf of the family.
A young woman suddenly stood up and asked: "King of Han, Basanniang of Yuzhou, I have no intention of offending, but I just want to ask, what should be done if someone is selling goods across borders?"
"Ba Sanniang, who is in the private salt, paper, and silk business?" Qin Huaidao heard Jia Youcai mention it and said that he was not inferior to men, he was a hero among women, and his business was very big.
"Exactly. Thank you King Han for remembering me."
"Sit down." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and explained after the other party sat down: "This is the second rule I want to say. No matter how many states you want to take over, I will not interfere, but everyone
The state must guarantee a minimum of 10,000 yuan of goods, and there is no upper limit. At the same time, the amount of goods taken must be paid as a deposit. Once someone is found to be selling across the border, all the deposits will be confiscated to compensate the damaged party to show fairness."
"The King of Han is benevolent and righteous!" Everyone laughed.
It doesn't matter how much money you have. No one who can come is from a poor family, and they are not afraid of the King of Han's corruption. What's more, they value rules. Qin Huaidao's rules are deeply rooted in people's hearts and are completely reassuring.
Qin Huaidao continued: "The third rule is that it is not allowed to sell to people from foreign countries. If you find out once, in addition to the fine, I will send someone to the door. Don't blame me for being unkind. In addition, cancel the business rights and no longer use them."
Cooperation, I hope everyone will remember it."
"No problem." Everyone agreed one after another. Although the profits in foreign countries were high, the risks were also high. As long as there was no competition in the state they got, and they were managed carefully, the profits would not be bad.
"King Han, I have a question that I don't know whether to answer or not." Mr. Song stood up and asked.
"You and I are old acquaintances. You don't know my character yet, so tell me."
"Thank you, King Han!" Mr. Song bowed and thanked him with utmost respect, and then said: "It's like Lao Chen and Ba Sanniang both have businesses in Jiannan Road. What if they both want the right to operate in the same state?"
"Then let's compete fairly. Whoever gets more goods will get the management rights. Taking Yuzhou as an example, Mr. Song will get 100,000 guan of goods every year, and Basanniang will get 200,000 guan. Naturally, it will be given to Bashan Niang."
"This is the most fair, I understand." Mr. Song said with a smile.
Qin Huaidao looked at everyone and continued: "Everyone, I will talk about the fourth rule. All payments must be made with the 'certificate' issued by me."
"this?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, but due to Qin Huaidao's methods and power, they hesitated to speak.
Qin Huaidao knew that everyone was worried, but the promotion of vouchers was imperative and was the foundation of the future. He explained: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to my explanation. Everyone here has business dealings with Qinjiazhuang and are close partners. Since
I won’t make it difficult for you or suffer a loss. Since this year, you have exchanged your silver for vouchers, and the exchange ratio is 1:1.1. In other words, your usual silver can be exchanged for some vouchers, and then you can use the vouchers to pay for goods, which is equivalent to less
How much should you pay? We are all businessmen, so we can figure it out."
"The King of Han is so righteous!" Everyone's eyes lit up.
If I exchange one point for one point, it will still be 10,000 guan. How much can I save within 100,000 guan?
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.
Mr. Song chuckled and said, "King Han, if this happens, you will be at a loss."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed kindly.
Qin Huaidao also smiled and said: "It's the end of the year soon. You guys can only buy goods once at most and just treat me as the king giving you benefits. Not next year. I have a big business and a lot of people to support, so I can't afford to lose money."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere was immediately harmonious and full of joy.
Qin Huaidao took the opportunity to continue: "Everyone, I have taken over the three places in Hanzhou and are in urgent need of various living supplies. If you are interested, you can go there together after the year and have a look. Maybe we can cooperate in depth. For specific matters, please contact Wang Xuance and Jia
My uncle is getting older and too busy, so he will turn to Wang Xuance for all business matters in the future."
Wang Xuance understood and stepped forward, cupping his hands with everyone and saying, "Wang Xuance, please give me your advice!"
"I've met Mr. Wang." Everyone said in unison, no matter how big or small they were.
Qin Huaidao looked at Wang Xuance: "Leave it to you. Whoever wants the operating rights of which state and how much goods should be registered."
"Follow the order!" Wang Xuance said solemnly, feeling very excited. It turns out that this business can still be done?
"Delineate management rights."
"The fine is a guarantee."
“Incentivize everyone to exchange their silver for vouchers in a preferential way.”
These methods are unheard of, but they coincide with the principles of Taoism and have endless wonderful uses.
At this moment, Wang Xuance felt that the door to the new world was opening wider and wider, and he was very excited.
Qin Huaidao left the rest of the matter to Wang Xuance, motioned for Jia Youcai to follow him, and went directly to the second floor.
There is a lobby on the second floor.
The tables and chairs were cleared away, and the corpses of the guards were piled on the ground, as well as the seriously injured representatives of the aristocratic families. Either their hands were broken or their leg bones were shattered. Their faces were pale with pain, and the corners of their eyes were twitching. When they saw Qin Huaidao coming up, they all stared with anger, but
Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, not as arrogant as before.
Luo Wu was very discerning and dragged a stool over.
Qin Huaidao sat down, looked at everyone and said, "I humiliate the current king of Han. According to the law, I am sent thousands of miles away and serve for three years. What do you think?"
Everyone was dissatisfied, but they were suppressed by Qin Huaidao's iron fist and did not show it.
Someone said: "I would like to ask for a punishment in lieu of punishment."
The so-called punishment in lieu of punishment means to pay a fine instead of punishment.
This is what Qin Huaidao wants. If everyone is present, he can definitely find someone with similar looks to take the punishment on his behalf, or he can do some random things and come back quietly. No one will know, and being sent thousands of miles away will not do him any good.
Fine silver is different. It can weaken the foundation of these families and expand their own strength.
Hanzhou is in dire straits and is most short of money. Although I have a lot, isn't it good to take advantage of my opponent's?
When everyone saw Qin Huaidao being silent, they suddenly became anxious.
Someone said: "King of Han, it is clearly recorded in the Zhenguan Law. As nobles, we have the right to demand punishment in lieu of punishment. Please show your respect to the King of Han."
According to the Zhenguan Law, those who are old or sick at the time of the incident can be punished according to their old age and illness, and they can be punished instead of punished.
This means that when the culprit is exposed and the murderer is brought to justice, even if he was young when he committed the crime, he will be in jail at the time of the incident. If he is over seventy when he is arrested, or is injured or sick, he can be punished according to old age or illness, and fines can be used instead of punishments.
Of course, there were five types of punishments imposed in the Tang Dynasty: whipping, rod, imprisonment, exile, and death. Death penalty was unpardonable.
This group of people humiliated and threatened the King of Han, but the crime did not lead to death, as it was within the rule of punishment instead of punishment.
Qin Huaidao pretended to be unwilling and said: "Each person is fifty thousand, but you all have guards, and you need to bear the fault of the guards. Attacking the King of Han is a death penalty. I, the king, have a large number. I won't care about it. Let's fine him fifty thousand strings in total."
One hundred thousand guan, no two prices."
One hundred thousand strings is not a small amount, and everyone was a little embarrassed, with malicious looks in their eyes.
Qin Huaidao felt everyone's resentment and didn't care. He suddenly thought of another problem. It would be better to let these people go back. If they suffered a loss, they would definitely retaliate wildly. He would be able to find the reason again and punish them severely and punish them severely.
There are more than one sheep, it’s so fragrant!
At this time, Uncle Ma, the owner of the restaurant, came up in a hurry: "King Han, someone from the county government is here."
"I came just in time to explain the situation. These people threaten and attack me. However, there are so many of my lords that the death penalty can be avoided but the living crime cannot be escaped. Each household will be fined one hundred thousand guan. Let the people from the county government inform them to collect the money from each government.
I'm an acquaintance here. If you come late and miss the time for treatment, you will be crippled in the future. Don't blame me for not being benevolent and righteous."
Uncle Ma looked at the many wounded, smiled knowingly, and hurried away.
Being able to become Cheng Yaojin's confidant means he is naturally a bold master.
After waiting for a while, the redeemer did not come, but Wang De did. Looking at the wounded on the ground, he did not ask any more questions: "King of Han, the Holy One has announced that you will enter the palace."
There must be something fishy about a sudden announcement.
But there were many people, so Qin Huaidao didn't ask any more questions, but asked: "Are you not in a hurry? I am waiting for the fine."
"There's no rush." Wang De said with a smile, stepped aside and said nothing, looking at his nose and heart.
Qin Huaidao knew for sure that someone must be impeaching him, and Li Er had to send someone to announce it.
Someone jumped out again who was not afraid of death?
