Chapter 892 The benefits of establishing a chamber of commerce
,
Originally, Mr. Sun thought that the imperial court would definitely issue a restrictive official document, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
The Sun family business also has a rice and grain shop, which is not small. When the Xia family started buying rice and grain, the Sun family also bought some.
But then Mr. Sun suddenly came back to his senses and realized that the money was not easy to earn. With Xia Shoufu's support, he was naturally not afraid.
Although he also relied on an official in the court, that person had already told him not to mess around.
So Mr. Sun stopped buying grain later on. If he sold it all at a low price in the end, wouldn't he be stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
It was a waste of energy not to mention it, and in the end it would have to be sold at a loss.
After all, the brown rice purchased this time costs a liter per liter, which is not so much on weekdays.
Gu Chengyu smiled lightly and said nothing, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. This leisurely look made Hu Maoshen and others roll their eyes. How long had it been?
Xia Hongji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that this so-called chamber of commerce was not a good thing for him.
Originally, their Xia family had a lot of business, but because of the name of the chief minister, when negotiating business with other families, other families would always give in. Who would do anything with their Xia family?
This has also developed Xia's extremely domineering temperament in doing business, and the merchants who cooperate with them will suffer more or less.
After so many years, they have long been accustomed to this way of making money, and they are not willing to have another chamber of commerce restrict their Xia family.
Xia Hongji thought carefully for a while and determined that the clan leader had not mentioned this matter to him.
Xia Shoufang is an important minister in the court. If the court is really planning to establish a chamber of commerce, there is no reason that the chief minister would not know about it!
Xia Hongji glanced at Gu Chengyu meaningfully. Could it be that this person had made the mistake himself to suppress the rice bank that was hoarding rice grains?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Hongji felt that this was extremely possible.
"The grassroots boldly asked Mr. Gu, when did the imperial court say that a chamber of commerce would be established? The chief minister often sends letters home to Yingnan Mansion, but he never mentioned this matter in his letters. I don't know what the matter is."
When Xia Hongji finished talking, he hesitated.
But his meaning was already very clear, didn't he mean that Gu Chengyu was deceiving them?
Everyone present turned their attention to Gu Chengyu, with obvious suspicion in their eyes.
Gu Chengyu didn't panic in his heart, he smiled brightly, and then said: "Because this matter was proposed by me, it is still a prototype and must be gradually improved. So it has not been announced yet, but it is already inseparable.
."
Hu Maoshen used the action of drinking tea to cover up the doubts in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Chengyu so calm and composed, Hu Maoshen couldn't help but wonder, could it be that what Gu Chengyu said was true?
But they obviously didn't hear anything about it before, which is a bit unusual!
"I'm afraid you have no clue about the Chamber of Commerce at this moment, so I will explain it in detail here. The Chamber of Commerce, as the name suggests, is a group formed among merchants. So what are the benefits of establishing a chamber of commerce? There are many benefits.
Already."
Gu Chengyu stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, and then began to talk about the plan that had just been formed in his mind.
"As long as a chamber of commerce is established, everyone here can apply to join and become a member of the chamber of commerce, which is called a member. First, if there are more businessmen joining the chamber of commerce, there will be more partners to choose from. They are all members.
, it is binding, so you don’t have to worry about being deceived again.”
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this, expressing their agreement. They used to travel all over the country to do business, and it was indeed easy for them to encounter scammers.
There are many people who have been deceived and lost all their money. After those scammers defrauded the money, they immediately disappeared without a trace. Even if the people who were deceived were turned upside down, it would be difficult to find them.
In the end, we can only leave in good spirits and return in despair. How easy will it be to make a comeback in the future?
As long as they are businessmen, no one can boast that they have never been deceived. Even if they are not liars, they have been plotted by others and suffered many dumb losses.
Gu Chengyu saw everyone nodding like garlic, knowing that this was something that spoke to their hearts.
He stretched out two fingers and continued: "Secondly, there are more members in the Chamber of Commerce. Others have important information that you don't know. You can communicate with each other and learn from each other."
Everyone here nodded again, indeed! Although they are just businessmen, businessmen also need to understand the current affairs and the trends of officials.
For example, if an official you have taken refuge with has been demoted, or has committed a serious crime, and has his family confiscated and his family exterminated. But those high-ranking officials are far away in the capital, so naturally they cannot receive the news immediately. At this time, it is necessary to see whether you have a wide circle of friends.
If an acquaintance receives the news, tell it immediately. You may not be able to avoid a disaster, so make preparations in advance.
Xia Hongji took a deep look at Gu Chengyu and had to say that he really couldn't refute these two points.
"Thirdly, a single tree cannot make a forest, and cooperation as a team is the long-term solution. You can join forces and complement each other, use the strong to lead the weak, help each other, and everyone will benefit. If you encounter difficulties, such as a sudden lack of money, you can also
Like other members of the Chamber of Commerce, if they borrow money, they are bound by the Chamber of Commerce and the imperial court, so they dare not not pay it back."
Mr. Sun was extremely excited. He was often troubled by the lack of money. Every time he borrowed money from friends, his friends would not charge extra interest, which made him feel very unhappy.
In addition, sometimes he wants to borrow more, but he has no way.
If he really becomes a member of the Chamber of Commerce, it will be easier for him to borrow money. As long as he pays interest, someone will lend it to him. As for repaying the money, he believes that since the court has planned to establish a chamber of commerce, it will definitely want to do so.
rut.
"Fourth, our court has a Dibao, and the Chamber of Commerce can also publish a Dibao. Needless to say, the benefits of the Dibao? I believe everyone here knows it."
The imperial court's Dibao is similar to the newspaper in the previous life, and this newspaper only talks about major current affairs. If the Chamber of Commerce publishes the Dibao, it will be about business information, which is equivalent to the financial newspaper in the previous life.
Even Hu Maoshen was very surprised when he heard this and pulled his beard.
If this chamber of commerce is implemented once, it will be a major reform. The Dayan Dynasty will surely usher in a prosperous age in a short period of time.
This young man is really extraordinary, he is simply too evil. Hu Mao looked at Gu Chengyu with admiration in his eyes. How could this peasant family give birth to such an evil son? It is simply unbelievable.
"Of course, this newspaper must be issued by the imperial court. I will report to the emperor to implement this matter as soon as possible and make it as detailed as possible. This is the benefit of establishing a chamber of commerce. Do you think this matter is still feasible?"
Gu Chengyu turned around and sat down. He thought that these merchants would definitely be moved. In fact, he had never discussed this matter with the emperor, because this was what he thought after coming to Jiangnan and seeing the price of rice rising.
