Chapter 941 Things often go wrong 89 1
The hunchback shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn in Linshui City left, but the door of Yuelai Inn was still open.
It's just that the person sitting behind the counter is no longer the bad old man who smokes a pipe all day long, but has become the handsome young man from years ago.
Lao Lin from Lao Lin Wine Shop also left, and Lao Lin Wine Shop was still open.
What they still sell is low-priced bulk wine.
For Linshui City, the departure of these two people did not attract much attention from the neighbors.
What people in the streets, teahouses and restaurants are talking about is only one person and a few things——
This person is naturally the Regent Li Chenan!
And some things...
For example, on August 30, the 25th year of Zhaohua, the regent Li Chenan entertained many people at Shiweixuan!
Among them was Zou Huanzhang, the old head of the Zou family.
This is not surprising.
Because the regent wanted to rebuild the Guangling Navy, he naturally needed the Zou family to serve him.
But the strange thing is that the regent entertained many businessmen and craftsmen!
"You said... the regent hosted a banquet for Mr. Chen Dingmao, the head of the Chen family in Yingzhou. After all, the Chen family in Yingzhou once had a reputation as a loyal and righteous man."
In a tea house, under the autumn sun, a richly dressed young man was holding a tea bowl in one hand and tapping the table with the other. He looked at the other three people and said with doubts in his eyes:
"But in the banquet list of the regent that day, there was Xie Tongju, a tea merchant from Linshui City!"
"It's not that we look down on Xie Tongju!"
"Xie's tea shop is really nothing in Linshui City, but he is able to sit at the same table as the regent..."
The young man laughed at himself and shook his head, "There is smoke coming out of the Xie family's ancestral graves. With this honor, I think the Xie family's business will flourish in the future!"
He looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the left and said again: "Uncle Dong, you have to be careful. The Xie family's tea comes from the Chen family in Yingzhou. If you become an imperial merchant because of this...you... The opponent is no longer an opponent!"
"Xie's tea shop is known as the Royal Merchant. I think the entire tea market in Jiangnan Province will undergo earth-shaking changes!"
The middle-aged man named Uncle Dong smiled bitterly, "Who could have expected this?"
"The Xie family has taken advantage of the Chen family in Yingzhou. It seems that our Dong family has to make some changes."
Sitting on top was an old man with gray hair.
At this moment, the old man smiled slightly, lowered his head, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"Dong An, not only your Dong family has to make some changes, I'm afraid all the businessmen in Ningguo need to make some changes."
Dong An was startled, looked at the old man, and said very humbly:
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Su!"
This old man is Su Mingtang, the head of the Su family in Jiangnan Dao!
He arrived at Linshui City yesterday, but after all he arrived a step too late. The regent Li Chenan had already left on the fourth day of September.
Five days have passed, but the words about the regent in Linshui City still continue.
Even businessmen traveling from north to south made a special trip to Linshui City to find friends in Linshui City and inquire in detail about the regent's words and deeds in Linshui City——
This is important!
This represents the future direction of Ningguo’s business policy!
Such a direction will determine the future moves of all business people.
Should we expand our scale or shrink our operations?
Which industry does the Prince Regent care more about?
Do you want to change the family business?
Or the layout should be more extensive, such as going to Beimo Road or Lingdong Road to open up new markets, etc.
When Su Mingtang came to Shuicheng, he originally hoped to meet the regent, but he didn't expect that he would be delayed by a day after being delayed on the way.
Quite a pity.
But Su Mingtang was not depressed.
Because his granddaughter Su Meng has left quickly——
The Prince Regent did not travel by water.
Of course, Su Mingtang didn't know that the reason why the regent didn't take the waterway was because Xiao Baozi was seasick.
He thought that the boats traveling by water were slower and the regent was eager to return to Kyoto, so he still took the official route, so Su Meng could catch up quickly.
The grandson-in-law Wang Zhenghaoxuan is the right-hand man of the regent, and his son Su Yian is also the minister of Ningguo. With these two relationships, the Su family in Jiangnan will have nothing to worry about as long as they do business well.
Next, the Regent will hold a unique shipping operation bidding conference in Kyoto... I will go to Kyoto with Chen Dingmao tomorrow, and I think I will be able to meet the Regent.
He had already had a drink with Chen Dingmao, the head of the Chen family in Yingzhou last night, so he naturally knew very well about the regent's banquet that day.
"Everyone,"
Su Mingtang put down the tea cup, sat up straight, and said with an extremely serious face:
"The Prince Regent hosted a banquet at Zhiweixuan, with two tables totaling twenty-six people!"
"There are not only family heads like Chen Dingmao in Yingzhou, but also small merchants like Xie Tongju."
"There are even those craftsmen that you might look down upon in ordinary times... I am not referring to the big shipwrights like Zou, but the papermakers who make paper, the kiln heads who burn the kilns, the blacksmiths who make iron, etc."
"The regent toasted them all at Zhiweixuan and said that these craftsmen are the treasure of Ningguo! They are... the key force to promote the development of Ningguo!"
"When the regent left Linshui City, he took more than three hundred craftsmen with him."
"Of course, the regent also encouraged the businessmen, saying... The economic base determines the superstructure. I hope that all businessmen must remember the two most important things while pursuing profits!"
When Su Mingtang said this, not only the other three people at the table widened their eyes, but many tea guests around him also gathered around, pricking up their ears and looking at Su Mingtang intently. I want to know what the regent said at the banquet at Zhiweixuan.
Su Mingtang stroked his long beard, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and said with great emotion:
"The regent is far-sighted!"
"He said... our Ningguo businessmen's stage will be even bigger in the future!"
"Today, the Ning State has already done business with the Wu State. In the near future, the Ning State will also do business with the Yue State, and even have commercial exchanges with those barbaric countries."
"On such a stage, goods from other countries will also enter Ningguo!"
"Then we Ningguo businessmen must prepare for a rainy day... First of all, we must pay attention to the improvement of productivity..."
Su Mingtang glanced at everyone and said:
"The so-called productivity refers to the production capacity of the workshop, that is, the amount of goods produced."
"This is not just about the number of people employed, but also about the speed of upgrading of the machinery in the workshop."
"To put it simply, it means paying attention to craftsmen and improving machinery."
"The Regent said that science and technology are the primary productive forces..."
"You can understand this as more advanced machinery determines higher output and better product quality... That's roughly what it means."
"The second point the regent warned businessmen is the integration of industries... This is more complicated. In short, it means making the purchase cost lower, and the sales price depends on whose goods are more scarce. "
"The regent said that the market has its own choices, survival of the fittest. In the next ten years, many businessmen will rise and many will be eliminated by the market."
"So, we businessmen in Ningguo have received the best and fairest opportunity. Who can have the last laugh..."
Su Mingtang smiled slightly, stood up, pondered for three breaths, and then said the last words:
"It's time for us businessmen to change our minds, otherwise the ones singing on the big stage in the future... won't be all of you here!"
Su Mingtang turned and left.
The entire tea garden was still extremely silent.
Most of these people were businessmen. At this moment, Su Mingtang's words were still echoing in their ears, making them feel a sense of urgency in their hearts when they recalled it.
Times, it seems, are really changing.
But what will it become?
So what will the big stage look like in the future?
No one can imagine it, but they just feel a little expectant and a little afraid.
Over the millennia of this world, many glorious families have been lost in the long river of history.
How many unknown families have quietly risen to become giants.
This is the current situation.
Those who obey will prosper.
Those who rebel will perish! (End of chapter)
