Uncle He Jiushu's intention is very obvious. He wants to monopolize the entire industry. However, this is somewhat contrary to Li Qi's original intention. However, Li Qi now wants to go all out to promote the economy and cannot spare the energy to find ways to fight against monopoly. He can only pay lip service to it. Give him a warning and ask him to restrain himself...
Although Uncle He Jiu agreed verbally, whether he can do it is another question. Li Qi did not intend to discuss it too much, and then turned to Zhang Chun'er of Jinlou and said: "Ms. Zhang, whether it is me or not, I I am from the capital and a businessman from out of town. Whenever I hear about Jinlou Cured Meat, they all give me a thumbs up. It seems that your store’s cured meat has been sold all over the country.”
Zhang Chun'er smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for the economics. Compared with the canned food in Zui Xianju, the cured meat in this store is really not worth mentioning."
"Each has its own strengths, and we can't say which one is better." Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not wrong, Mrs. Zhang will set her sights on neighboring countries next year."
If not, then why am I here? Zhang Chun'er did not deny it, and said with a slight smile: "Isn't it also to cooperate with the new economic law?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "The new law is secondary, the key is to make money. If I can't make money, what's the point of this new law? Do you think so?"
The profit-seeking businessmen laughed one after another.
Next, Li Qi named more than ten people, and he knew their business status very well. He knew them by heart, and seemed to be more familiar with them than his own business.
This made the businessmen sitting here secretly surprised and sighed at the strength of the Commerce Bureau.
Qin Hui was secretly amused when he saw everyone's expressions. Li Qi's greeting with concern undoubtedly conveyed a message, that is, it showed that the Commerce Bureau is by no means a mediocre department. Every move you make is in business. It is under the control of the Commerce Bureau. If you follow the footsteps of the Commerce Bureau, everyone will be happy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to say.
After this unique opening remarks, Li Qi took another sip of tea, coughed slightly, and said seriously: "I invite everyone to come forward today. I just want to convey a message, that is---the opportunity to make a fortune has arrived. Last year at this time , many of you are not well-prepared and have missed many opportunities because of this. I believe you are all well-prepared this year.”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Li Qi hummed and said: "We are like this, and those foreign caravans are even more like this. You must have heard that this year it is not only the envoys sent by their court, but also a huge caravan following them. , since both parties are fully prepared, I really can’t think of any reason to stop this win-win situation. It is said to be a win-win situation, but the benefits must not be divided 50-50. How much of a share you can seize depends on you. We have the absolute initiative, and if anyone only gets half of it, it should be considered a loss."
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, our Commerce Bureau will fully cooperate with you. Starting from tomorrow, the Song Dynasty Times Weekly will publish an edition every two days. Except for the economic section, all other content will be suspended, including " "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", we will use the Song Dynasty Times to build publicity for your products, so that foreign businessmen can have a deeper understanding of your products."
In fact, suspending the Divine Condor was a helpless move. Li Shishi fell ill, the manuscripts had been distributed, and Li Qingzhao had just taken over. Fortunately, he had a perfect reason to stop readers' mouths.
Hong Bajin said carelessly: "That must cost a lot of money, right?"
Do you, the dignified proprietor of Hongwan Gambling House, need to be so fussy? Li Qi didn't understand what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "Of course not."
Hong Bajin didn't look very excited after hearing this.
This free advertisement made the businessmen sitting here have different expressions. Some rich people were obviously not satisfied, because if they paid for it, they would definitely be able to occupy the most eye-catching position and promote more of their products.
, but if you don’t charge money, then the Commerce Bureau will make the decision all by itself. If someone is worried, there must be someone worried, and those who are weaker will definitely be very happy.
Li Qi continued: "In addition, there is another point. I think everyone has also received the news. Since Xixia has lifted the blockade of the Silk Road and made sufficient guarantees, there will be more people from the Western Regions this year.
Merchants over there, this will undoubtedly provide us with more ways to make money, but I wonder if you have prepared enough goods."
Needless to say, even if they risk their lives, they will never give up the Western Region market. This is a big market, and due to the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia in the past few years, they were once cut off from the Western Regions, which is equivalent to
This market was a brand new market for the Song Dynasty. It goes without saying how many business opportunities there were. Everyone was very excited and asked questions about the Western Regions.
Yes, businessmen should be so hungry and contented, and that is just self-comfort. Li Qi answered them one by one without any boredom, and said seriously: "There is a question, I have to remind you, as the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy.
You can fight a hundred battles without danger, and the same goes for doing business. You are all the top businessmen in our Song Dynasty. You should not limit your sights to each other, but look at the overall situation and have a deep understanding of the national conditions of neighboring countries."
As he spoke, he stood up and came behind Zhou Qing, picked up the cheongsam and said: "Take this cheongsam for example, it's thirty guan. In our Tokyo, there are many people who can afford it. It's not surprising. However, for Nanman
, for Tubo and other vassals, this is a sky-high price. If you take this cheongsam and go to them to sell it, how much can you sell? But, are you giving up the entire market just because others are poor? If that is the case
, what else is there to do in this business? Which country is as prosperous as our Song Dynasty?"
One person suddenly said: "Could it be that the economic representative wants to re-set prices according to the national conditions of other countries?"
Li Qi pointed at the cheongsam and said, "If you take this cheongsam and go to Cochin and sell it for the money, you won't even be able to wear your underpants. There is only one criterion for any business, that is, you must make money and not lose money.
There is no such thing as capital guarantee. The price is set based on the quality of your goods. If you want to lower the price while maintaining the same benefits, there is only one way, and that is to lower the quality of the goods. In some poor countries,
If you invest heavily in high-end products, you will only lose your money and pay taxes in vain. Therefore, you must not blindly pursue quality. You must produce products at various price points to satisfy people from all walks of life, including the poor.
Countries with different levels of wealth should not let go of any place that can bring us benefits. No matter how much wealth we have, if we look at it individually, it is made up of just one penny."
At this point, he pointed to Uncle He Jiushen again and said: "On this point, everyone should learn from Uncle He Jiushan. His shop in other places has everything in it. Expensive rackets can be sold for five guan, but
It’s cheap and only costs more than ten yuan. This is the profit brought to him by the workshops he acquired. Of course, I don’t advocate this because this acquisition method is too simple and crude. I still tend to cooperate.
Method, if you cooperate with some small workshops, you can make funds more flexible, maximize benefits, and build a huge alliance. You can also use this to make us, Song Dynasty, rich. The philosophy of our Commerce Bureau has always been
The more people are rich, the more you can earn."
The others listened and nodded frequently, but Uncle He Jiu covered his face and said with shame: "Economic envoy, I'm not the first to do this. Many people here have done this. Please don't take advantage of me."
People talk about things."
Today he is a negative example!
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Who said you are the best in this area? You kill everyone everywhere with one move, and even the ants can't survive."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter again.
Uncle He Jiu's old face was as red as a monkey, and he almost buried his head under the table.
Li Qi did not continue to hit the old man. He raised his hand and pressed it. When the laughter dissipated, he continued: "Besides, I have a small request. I hope it will be within the scope of the environment.
, everyone should choose the water route as much as possible. What I am talking about is mainly for the countries in the Western Region. Although Xixia has opened the Silk Road, there is no need for you to choose the land route blindly. After all, opening an additional waterway will also increase a financial path for you. "
Zhang Chun'er suddenly said: "Economic envoy, now that Xixia has given enough guarantees, of course we will choose the land route. Although it is not a bad idea to take the water route, it will have to go in a big circle and the cost will naturally be high. We
It’s impossible to ignore the shortcut and take the long way.”
The others also whispered after listening, and they seemed to be more partial to Zhang Chun'er.
Li Qi smiled softly and said: "Ms. Zhang is right. I will never let you do this money-losing business. But if you have business dealings with Korea, Japan, Jiaozhi and other overseas or coastal countries,
A fleet of ships can move around half a circle and we can solve them all. No more troubles are needed. In the end, we still make a profit. It can also drive our shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty, and we may even find more business opportunities. Why not do it."
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "The economic envoy is absolutely right, the maritime road does contain many business opportunities."
The others also expressed their willingness to try, and they were still willing to sell this face to Li Qi.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Qi felt a little comforted. He nodded his thanks and said, "Okay, that's pretty much what I have to say. Regarding the details of this negotiation, the deputy economic envoy will answer them for you."
As he spoke, he invited Qin Hui to sit in his seat, while he himself sat aside. Since he had too many aspects to take care of, Qin Hui had been focusing on this matter since he came back from Jiangnan.
, Therefore, it is more appropriate for Qin Hui to explain the details.
At first, he was still a little worried and sat aside to listen. But after a while, he found that his worries were unnecessary. Qin Hui was more comprehensive than he thought and knew how to give full play to his own advantages. Negotiation, negotiation.
What is important is psychology, and Qin Hui is an expert in this field. It can even be said that these businessmen should really pay some ticket money. This trip is so worth it.
