It can be seen that "Yongran Hall" generally follows the principle of "being kind to others and coexisting peacefully".
When transporting people and materials, the safety of people and materials should be given top priority, and conflicts should be avoided as much as possible.
If a confrontation has already formed, and when it is inevitable, the vehicle's protective advantages and maneuverability will be used to break through obstacles and quickly separate from the enemy, without being willing to confront others in order to build a grudge.
This is also the reason why in the past two years, the transportation fleet of the "Yong Ran Pavilion" has never been tricked or robbed.
Yong Ming was familiar with Tao strategy, "Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is a good thing." This is the best strategy to retreat from the enemy and a long-term way to defend against the enemy.
Therefore, since taking charge of the "Yongran Pavilion", Yongming's measures to focus on strengthening his own defense are very wise.
Relying on one's own strength, rather than relying on the power of fighting and killing, one has the ability to strike but does not strike. While avoiding bloody conflicts, it also allows those in the world who make ill-gotten gains from business routes along the way to be able to fight on their own.
Retreating when faced with difficulties can be called the most cost-effective “defense strategy”.
Of course, this process was not always like this from the beginning. There are also green forest "shantou" who are not afraid of trouble. They are jealous of the high daily transportation volume of "Yongran Hall" and have the wrong idea to ambush and rob the freight vehicles of "Yongran Hall".
The consequences of daring to provoke "Yongran Pavilion" in this way will naturally be the loss of troops and generals.
Even so, these unscrupulous gangs have deeply felt their bad luck and complained endlessly.
But the fact is, how can anyone escape unharmed after provoking "Yongran Hall"?
Within a month after the incident, this arrogant "mountain" that dared to cause trouble was completely leveled.
Except for the dead, no one in "Mountain Top" escaped the net. From top to bottom, there were seventy-six people, who were all tied up and placed in the local county government or police station. They were finally done with this.
As soon as this news came out, it was like an explosion in the green forests of the eight northern provinces. Since then, the freight vehicles of the "Yongran Pavilion" have been able to travel between the provinces without any hindrance, and no one dared to try against them.
Gradually, "Yong Ran Pavilion" got a name in the world, that is, "Flaming Mountain".
People in the world have said that if Sun Wukong hadn't borrowed the "Panana Fan" from the Iron Fan Princess, he would not have crossed the "Flaming Mountain". The best way would have been to take a detour after seeing the "mountain".
Since this resounding name spread, the momentum has spread from the fifteen northern and southern provinces covered by the "Yongran Pavilion" business, and gradually expanded to other neighboring provinces.
Under such circumstances, many people have asked "Yongran Pavilion" to transport goods on their behalf through relationships to ensure the safety of their trade.
However, "Yongran Pavilion" only undertakes the transportation agency business in its own province, and will not undertake the freight forwarding business in other areas even if the price is astronomical.
To borrow the words of Yong Ming, the head of "Yongran Pavilion", "Since ancient times, business has been about profit, and it also cares about worldly affairs and impermanence. I have always loved flowers and flowers, and I love this moon and mountains."
"Yong Ran Guan" does everything within its capabilities and never does anything beyond its capabilities. Even if it means giving up huge profits, how long can the wealth earned beyond its capabilities be maintained?
How long is the guarantee?
Rather than worrying about one thing and losing another, wouldn't it be equally good to just do what you can with peace of mind?
Of course, this is not because "Yong Ran Pavilion" lacks the strength to expand or lacks enough talents, but because Yong Ming deliberately does not want to make "Yong Ran Pavilion" bigger, as long as it maintains the existing structure and scale.
.
Yong Ming just hoped that the "Yongran Pavilion" could be like the original intention of his ancestors when they founded it, which was to "gather wealth through business" and become a livelihood for the Yong clan, rather than the top priority for his entire clan.
Turning the Yong family into a complete business family was not the idea of Yong family members in the past generations. Of course, this was also the idea when it came to Yong Ming's generation.
But some people in the Yong clan don't think so. They think that after five hundred years of accumulation, "Yongran Pavilion" has grown from a small store in one province to two hundred stores in fifteen provinces. Why?
Should we suddenly stop the pace of expansion?
Should we not make money that can be easily earned, but instead easily give the profits to others?
This originally potential conflict between the main purpose and the sideline business gradually surfaced in the form of advocating preservation versus advocating expansion during the three years when Yong Ming's father was seriously ill. It was only limited to the authority of the patriarch and did not form a real force.
strength.
Later, when Yong Ming took over as the head of the Yong clan, these people who had different ideas from those that had been followed for many years were ready to move, trying to persuade Yong Ming to change his mind and implement the "big expansion, big development" business philosophy to expand the operation of "Yong Ran Pavilion".
This argument was naturally opposed by Yong Ming. At the same time, it also prompted Yong Ming to arrange for Yong Shijing to organize and implement the staff rotation training plan of the "Yong Ran Pavilion" in order to select a group of capable people to fill management positions and at the same time clarify the personnel's roles.
Thoughts, unify the understanding of all members, and more importantly, establish Yong Ming's authority so that corresponding policies can be better implemented.
After two years of adjustment and rectification, there are no longer any voices advocating expansion in the "Yongran Hall" system. Anyone who disagrees with the philosophy of the main hall has been eliminated in batches.
Anyone in the Yong clan who supports expansion will be transferred back to the clan and make other arrangements for affairs, and will no longer be sent to Li Lu.
If an external employee insists on his or her opinion, the appointment letter will not be renewed if it expires; if the person changes his mind, he can continue to hold the original position.
It took almost more than a year to calm down the major decision-making debate about the business direction since Yong Ming took office, and resolve a crisis within the "Yong Ran Pavilion".
Since Yong Ming understood the basic situation about the civil strife of the "Liuquan Guards" in Tonglu, he has attached great importance to it.
The anomalies in the "Liuquan Guards" never appeared sooner or later. It happened six months ago that Yong Ming decided to recall the "Four Davids of the Yong Family" and issued specific instructions. How could he not make Yong Ming feel vigilant?
?
Moreover, among the "Four Davids of the Yong Family", the "Qingniu Guards" stationed in Xi'an, the "White Crane Guards" stationed in Xiangfan, and the "Hanyan Guards" stationed in Peking are not necessarily better than those stationed in Tonglu.
"Liuquan Guard", but why is it the "Liuquan Guard" that has the problem?
When the "Four Davids of the Yong Family" sent Lu to garrison in all directions, they had a clear strategic purpose.
The "Liuquan Guard" guards the south gate of Anqiu. It is located at the strategic point of the trade route, close to the sea and a river. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is a barrier against foreign invasion. It also has the task of collecting the latest information for the general guard.
The "Green Niu Guard" guards the northwest gate of Anqiu, cultivates the Qinchuan, Hanzhong, and Longyou areas, and guards the northwest highlands. Once the general guard declines, it assumes the important task of establishing a second base for the general guard to migrate to avoid disasters.
