Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 231 The imperial court can also do business?

in short.

It is to ensure a good business environment.

Otherwise, if there are people asking for money every day, even the richest businessman will have to go to other places to do business.

Lin Che left time for Zhu Ping to understand.

After a pause, he continued:
"Without the interference of external factors, if a business wants to continue to operate and benefit the country and the people, it must go back to competition."

"But the competition I'm talking about is not the competition between a few merchants, but the competition under the supervision and guarantee of the court."

Just relying on self-competition among businessmen may bring benefits to the common people at first.

But as time goes by, there will inevitably be a situation where colleagues join forces to plunder people's money.

You know, it’s not just government and business that collude.

No matter how big the hatred is between businessmen and businessmen, they will be reconciled because of money.

Zhu Xi barely understood what Lin Che meant.

But he still had a lot of doubts in his heart:
"Sir, business matters can only be supervised by the imperial court. If we do business, wouldn't we be using the imperial dignity to compete for profits with the people?"

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had angrily complained about competing with the people on different occasions.

However, Lin Che repeatedly mentioned that the status of a businessman should be equal to that of other people.

Subtly, Zhu Xi placed businessmen in the position of the people.

In this way, Lin Che proposed the strategy that the court should not only control businessmen, but also do business.

It's a bit unfair to businessmen.

"I tell you to treat the world's merchants as equals to scholars, peasants, and merchants."

"I don't want you to regard them as kind-hearted people who have the world at heart."

"Isn't it rare that they join forces to hoard goods and raise market prices?"

Lin Che tapped the table with her index finger and reminded her seriously.

He also gave an example:
"I said what if, if a businessman from Ming Dynasty got my fertilizer drawings."

"Do you think they will strictly follow the formula I mentioned to make fertilizer? Will they strictly follow the filling and sealing process?"

When Zhu Ping heard this, his heart rate doubled.

You know, my father had already left the matter of making fertilizers to Liu Bowen.

Why did Lin Che also talk about this aspect during her lecture?

Zhu Xi didn't know for a moment whether this was a coincidence or whether his husband secretly used the technique of servant calculation.

But no matter what, Lin Che's image in his heart.

It can be said that it is becoming more and more mysterious.

Zhu Xiang's thoughts were wandering, but he did not forget Lin Che's question.

He answered in a guessing tone based on what he saw and heard on weekdays:
"Sir, in my opinion, this is the early stage of manufacturing and selling chemical fertilizers."

"In order to build a reputation and expand sales, no matter what the quality is, there will be no cheating."

"And after the trade route is opened, I don't think they will do anything stupid and smash their own signs, right?"

Although Zhu Ping has never had contact with businessmen.

But he also saw several stories of honest businessmen in history books.

There is a problem with the goods being sold, but they can be sold to the people to reduce losses.

These businessmen would rather lose everything and keep the brand that has been passed down by their families.

This formed an inherent impression in Zhu Xi's mind that although a businessman was treacherous, he would not destroy his ancestral business.

"Hahaha, although there are indeed some people with noble moral character among the businessmen of our Ming Dynasty."

"However, there are far more profit-seeking profiteers than they do."

Lin Che smiled and corrected Zhu Xi's wrong idea.

He snorted and said:
"Businesses like fertilizers are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"You have to have a big businessman with a fortune of tens of millions, or a lot of businessmen to join forces to get the start-up capital together."

"In this way, they may strictly control the quality at the beginning, but after they have established a reputation, they will inevitably be short of quality and substandard goods." No matter what era a businessman is, they all Not for charity.

When they invest in a business, they must believe that it contains huge benefits.

Although the money coming from normal business is stable, the efficiency of making money is too slow.

It is better to open up channels and let people all over the world try it out.

Anyway, there is no standard for this fertilizer.

By the time the common people suffer and are fooled, these profiteers will have made enough money.

Maybe they will work in other industries and follow the law.

Maybe they will just change their name, enter the fertilizer market again, and defraud people of money again.

Lin Che briefly mentioned a few dirty tricks that businessmen use to make quick money.

Zhu Xi was shocked and angry.

If profiteers like this are allowed to make quick money, they will ruin the market.

Maybe, my father’s idea of ​​making chemical fertilizers available to people all over the world will be shattered because of this.

If this kind of good thing that benefits all people is really ruined because of a few profiteers.

Zhu Ping swore that he would definitely kill people with a knife, and these greedy people should destroy the nine tribes.

"The principle that bad money drives out good money is universal in many cases."

"With your status, you can't stop it, so you better relax."

"Otherwise, you will always be angry, which will be bad for your heart and your life span will be shortened."

Lin Che looked at Zhu Ping who was getting angry and patted him on the shoulder to tell him not to be angry all the time.

Then he slowly added:
"Because of this, the court had to build a fertilizer plant."

"But the original intention of establishing it is not to make money, but to set a minimum red line for the quality and price of fertilizers."

"If the merchant's fertilizer is worse than what the court sells and the price is higher, then not only will he not be able to defraud much money with inferior products, but it will also bring out the conscience of the court."

In today's Ming Dynasty, when officials and businessmen compete with each other, it can easily turn into using power to suppress others.

Instead, the imperial court set a standard line.

Not only can it ensure the stable development of the fertilizer market, but it can also win the hearts of the imperial court.

Even if there are profiteers who plan to take advantage of scarcity and resell fertilizers on the market.

But it will also fall into disgrace in front of the massive inventory in the imperial fertilizer factory.

What Zhu Ping heard was eye-opening.

In the past, when the royal family wanted to do business, they were always worried about damaging the private market because of traditional concepts.

But after Lin Che's class.

Zhu Feng still realizes that if the source of new business is determined to be a stable market.

Increase the competitiveness among businessmen in this industry.

Then not only will it not harm the interests of businessmen and people.

On the contrary, many merchants who disrupt the market will be expelled to ensure that people can always buy high-quality and low-price goods.

Zhu Xi seemed to have enlightened.

Think of the fertilizer example as other commodities.

At the same time, I admired my husband's intelligence even more.

Zhu Ping bowed to Lin Che respectfully.

"Sir, if the commercial competition strategy you proposed can be implemented in our world."

"Then the people of our Ming Dynasty will no longer be exploited by profiteers."

"You are truly a blessing to all the people in the world!"

Zhu Ming was arrogant and flattered Lin Che.
