From a distance, the Huxian Business Center looks more like a small market town, consisting of six criss-crossing avenues, with all kinds of shops on both sides of the road.
On the street closest to Anhu Avenue, Shop No. 18 is the newly opened Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
The shopkeeper of Huxian Grain Distribution Center is Du He's godson Wang Laowu.
At this moment, Wang Laowu gathered many partners to sit together.
Everyone looked at young Du He curiously.
But no one dared to look down upon Du He.
To become the Duke of Hu at such a young age is not a waste of fame. Du He's achievements are beyond the reach of these merchants in their lifetime.
After a while, a short and fat middle-aged man said: "The grass people have met Duke Hu. The grass people are from Hangzhou. Their families have been in the grain business for generations. Our ancestors also transported grains from Hangzhou to Chang'an for sale. However, the journey is thousands of miles.
There are countless losses on the road, and there are many bandits and thieves who can't even save their money... Now, Dream Group has spent a huge price to open up a convenient channel from Jiangnan to Chang'an, so that we can make money.
When the time comes, Duke Hu’s kindness will be remembered... However, when the grain distribution center opened this time, the common people really didn’t understand why they had to lower the price. Isn’t this self-destruction of wealth?”
Du He looked at the other party, put down the teacup, and said: "Mr. Liu, now, we are completely equal. You are all partners of Dream Group. It is fate that we can sit together. I have something to ask you.
, you can give me the answer after you think it through."
"Please give me some advice from Duke Hu."
Du He asked: "Do you want to make short-term money, or do you want to make money in the long term? Do you want to make money only in the capital, or do you want to make money in the entire Tang Dynasty, or even outside the Tang Dynasty."
Everyone thought for a moment.
The answer is self-evident.
Fools will choose to make money in the long term, and even expand their business beyond the lobby.
Mr. Liu thought for a while: "Mr. Hu Guogong, I know what you mean, but what does this... have to do with the Hu County Grain Distribution Center? You don't know yet, right? We have already received news that all the major companies in Chang'an City
The grain store has prepared enough money to buy all our grain at a low price and then hoard it. When the time comes, all the low-priced grain will be bought by them, and there will be no grain on the market. Our grain will be short-lived.
It can’t be transported from Jiangnan, so why don’t we just let them sit there and raise the price?”
Du He frowned after hearing this.
He turned around and asked, "Is this the case?"
He asked about Wang Laowu.
Wang Laowu has gone from being a down-and-out businessman in the south of the Yangtze River to becoming a popular businessman in Chang'an. He has friends from all walks of life and is naturally very well-informed.
He quickly said: "Godfather, this is indeed happening. It is said that the eldest grandson's family is also preparing to participate in it."
Snapped.
Du He lightly slapped the table and cursed softly: "A bunch of short-sighted guys!"
In this society, businessmen and big businessmen only have interests in their eyes.
Mr. Liu and others were shocked, thinking that Du He was scolding them and others. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute and only lowered their heads.
Du He looked back and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Everyone, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about those profiteers who are ready to take advantage of the situation, these short-sighted guys... If you are worried about this matter, actually, you don't have to worry about it." Du He said with a smile.
Mr. Liu asked curiously: "Could it be that Mr. Hu has already made a plan? Or does he have a way to deal with it? What do you need from me? Please ask Mr. Hu for his instructions. Now, we have been tied to the Dream Group.
On board the ship, if Dream Group loses money, it will not be easy for us. We should all work together to solve the problems at hand."
Others also nodded.
These merchants from the south of the Yangtze River were actually tricked into coming to Chang'an by Fang Yiai and Wang Laowu.
However, when they arrived in Chang'an, they discovered that the Dream Group was the most bizarre existence in the world.
Everyone in the Dream Group believes in the contract and everything is done according to the contract.
Everyone believes in the spirit of contract.
As long as the food is good enough and the price is right, Dream Group can have as much or as little as they want. Moreover, Dream Group is also enthusiastically helping these merchants from afar to settle their families in Chang'an City and solve everyone's worries.
As time goes by, these people completely follow the Dream Group.
Of course, they also know that the convenient trade route from Jiangnan to Chang'an was opened by the Dream Group at a huge cost. There are transfer stations and supply depots for goods within a hundred miles. This is something that no one except the imperial court can do.
of.
Once they break away from the Dream Group, they will be like duckweeds with nothing to rely on.
Du He looked at Mr. Liu and others, and said with a half-smile: "You are worrying too much, you are businessmen, and businessmen aim to pursue profits. As for heresy, in the eyes of this young master, it is nothing. We don't need to do anything."
, just wait quietly, friends will come to help us?"
"Friend? Could it be that there is someone more powerful than the Changsun Family Grain Company to help? Is there such a person in Chang'an City?" Mr. Liu asked curiously.
Du He said confidently: "Of course there are, and there are many. Lao Wu, are all the details that were worked out before ready?"
Wang Laowu said: "Don't worry, godfather, I will do exactly what you asked me to do!"
Du He said: "One more thing. The Huxian Grain Distribution Center has just opened, and it is bound to be overcrowded. There is no place without rules, and rules are indispensable for buying grain. Open all the twenty openings downstairs, and at the same time, send more people to sell grain.
The speed must be fast... Of course, the most important thing is that to buy food, you must queue up. Even if the King of Heaven comes, you must queue up obediently. As for how to maintain order, you can ask His Highness the King of Shu for help."
queue?
It's that simple?
Everyone looked at Du He in surprise.
But he saw that Du He had already stood up and walked out.
Before leaving the house, he said something: "Everyone, just sell your grain well. Within a month, you will know whether my words are effective."
Everyone present carefully considered Du He's words, but they couldn't figure out anything.
At this moment, a boy ran in and said to Wang Laowu: "Shopkeeper, hundreds of people have come outside... There is still half an hour until the opening."
Wang Laowu stood up in a hurry, "Quickly, send someone... No, I will personally go and ask His Highness the King of Shu to come forward. Everyone, my godfather has said this, everyone should help with all their strength. If anyone dares not to do his best, or
If you make a stumbling block and do something that's sorry for your friends, then don't blame me, Wang Laowu, for being rude."
Although Wang Laowu was submissive and obedient in front of Du He, in front of others, his fierce appearance was fully exposed.
Everyone was so frightened that they nodded in agreement.
