Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 32 Collusion between government and businessmen, everyone looks at money
The backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Fang Yuan specially cleaned out the conference room.

Including Fang Yuan, 11 people sat around the round table for a meeting.

The doors and windows of the meeting room were closed, and dozens of people were outside to ensure that the meeting would not be stolen.

"Thanks to your great love, I will definitely make you a lot of money."

Fang Yuan looked around the audience, full of confidence.

When it developed in Wuling County, the resources were less than one-tenth of what it is now.

Now that the identity has changed, the helpers have also increased, and the ways to make money in the future will become wider and wider.

"Follow Mr. Zhou Zun, I am not worried about not making money at all."

Except for Du Miaoyan, the other bosses of the firm were all smiling like a spring breeze.

They have tried to make a lot of money with Fang Yuan, and they feel that there is no official who cooperates better than Fang Yuan.

And Fang Yuan treated them as human beings and gave them a certain amount of respect, unlike other officials who thought they were lowly merchants.

"My officer once said that the most profitable business is a monopoly business."

"No matter what industry or industry, once you monopolize the market, money will continue to flow in."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

He has too many exclusives to sell.

When he was in Wuling County, he strictly controlled the secret recipe not to be leaked out.

Now that they have arrived in Liaozhou, all the things that once appeared in Wuling County can appear again.

"Master Zhou is going to sell ice cubes, tea, liquor?"

Ji Rufeng asked with a smile.

Ice cubes, tea leaves, and liquor are not luxuries.

But they have a big audience, and once you like them, you will like them very much.

Small profits, big benefits, monopolizing the market will continue to provide money far and wide.

tea?

Du Miaoyan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she cheered up to listen.

She already knew from Du Ruhui the magical secret recipe for making ice in summer.

But she still doesn't know how to make tea so that it tastes as good as Wuling County tea.

This time I went to Liaozhou to meet Fang Yuan, apart from getting to know Fang Yuan, the most important thing was tea making.

"These will be later, mainly starting from the products you deal in. This official will use the power of governor to lead you to monopolize the market."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

Although ice cubes, tea, and white wine can make a lot of money, they all need to be produced by the Mohist Research Institute.

They all live in the backyard of Liaozhou Mansion now, and they don't have as much space as in Wuling County. It's not very convenient to make these things. We'll wait until the nine-story Star Observatory is built.

"Master Zhou Zun is wise!"

Ji Rufeng and the others were excited and complimented Fang Yuan repeatedly.

Monopolizing the market, they seem to see countless money beckoning to them.

"Your major trading firms mainly deal in different products, and they are similar in other respects. I will use Boss Ji's Shengyun Trading Firm as an example."

"Boss Ji, your Shengyun Trading Company is mainly engaged in grain and cloth issues. I want you to open one of the largest local grain warehouses and weaving workshops in one city and three counties in Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan started to lay out.

Start with the main products of each business.

"no problem."

"But will it be resisted by the Liaozhou family?"

Ji Rufeng said that there was no problem, but he also raised a difficult point.

His firm mainly operates in the southern area, where there are fewer aristocratic families and less resistance.

The north is different. There are centuries-old and thousand-year-old families everywhere, and there are people above them. It is too difficult to get a piece of the pie in the north.

His question was also a concern of the other firms present.

The market in the north is many times larger than the market in the south, but they have never dared to get too involved in the northern market because there are many aristocratic families here.

"You don't have to worry about this, this official will act as your umbrella just like in Wuling County."

"However, you have to remember one thing. Treat the workers better. Don't exploit them. They have too little oil and water for you to stare at. If you want to stare at them, you are also staring at the rich."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

From the first day I arrived in Liaozhou, the war has already started.

It was they who launched the war first, and they had been preparing for several days, and it was time to start fighting back.

"Food and housing included, 50 yuan per month?"

Ji Rufeng frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly.

The other business owners also frowned and looked at Fang Yuan.

This price is really too high for them, and the firm has never paid such a high wage.

"Not bad, but also make sure that the food and accommodation are decent."

"When recruiting, the scale should start with 200 people, one person per household."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have relevant skills, you can recruit them as temporary workers."

"Temporary workers are those who do not have the skills but want to learn. You can pay them a small amount of wages and train them. After three months, they will be assessed. If they pass, they will be hired, but if they fail, they will be eliminated."

Fang Yuan said firmly.

No idea of ​​negotiating treatment with them.

Although this wage is the highest in contemporary times, and it is not available in any part of the country, it is just that the business earns less.

"Ok."

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't intend to discuss, Ji Rufeng and the others could only nod.

Although the wages are high, they have not lost money, and they will be able to monopolize the market in the future, so there is plenty of money.

"Boss Du, your business is quite special, you just need to open one in Liaozhou City."

"However, the recruited personnel must go through layers of screening to confirm their innocence."

Fang Yuan looked at Du Miaoyan and said.

Salt is an essential part of everyone's life.

Iron is an important way to equip yourself and grow stronger.

Both of these are too important and will be stared at by many people.

Only when it is opened in Liaozhou City, under the nose, can it be guaranteed that no accident will happen.

And Fang Yuan will release fine salt soon, which will shake the entire Tang Dynasty.

The bosses of the nine major commercial firms also looked at Du Miaoyan, shocked.

It's amazing to be able to ask for the management rights of salt and iron!
The Royal Firm is worthy of being a Royal Firm.

"no problem."

Du Miaoyan has no objection.

She doesn't understand business, just follow Fang Yuan's arrangements.

"Since everything is fine, let's talk about profit distribution."

"This official provides you with shelter and policy support, and you have to charge [-]% of the profits and [-] veto power."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He has done so much and built Liaozhou on a large scale, it is impossible to generate electricity for love.

In the final analysis, we still look at money, but we all look at money together.

"Master Zhou, what is the one-vote veto?"

Ji Rufeng and the others asked uncertainly.

They have understood the literal meaning, but they are not sure.

They already knew about the [-]% profit when they were in Wuling County, and they had no objections.

That is to say, Du Miaoyan was surprised, and thought that it was only natural for Fang Yuan to bring in a commercial firm for the development of Liaozhou, so why would he charge [-]% of the profits from everyone.

"The so-called one-vote veto means that all of you want to do something, but if this official opposes you, you can't do it."

"It's not that I'm exercising the power of the governor to oppress you, but the special power that I enjoy in the team that cooperates with you."

Fang Yuan explained.

"It's okay for me to wait."

Ji Rufeng and the others looked at each other, agreeing to Fang Yuan's one-vote veto.

But they all slandered in their hearts: You are a majestic assassin and forcibly opposed, we dare not do anything.

"Since there is no objection, then you can choose a site to build a factory and recruit after you go back."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The first round table meeting was considered a complete success.

The development of Liaozhou will be different from today.

Countless money and treasures will continue to flow to you.

"Master Zhou, I will take my leave."

Ji Rufeng and the others bid farewell.

Fang Yuan didn't get up, just watched them leave.

He still has a meeting to be held, which is a meeting of officials from the governor's office in Liaozhou.
