Chapter 2442 The Auction of the Tea House
Wu Nanhai believed that if the indigenous people obtained technology too cheaply, it would only harm the interests of the elders in the long run.When the factory is still in the initial stage of construction, when the workers have not fully mastered the production technology of the factory, the technology mastered by the veterans is very important to people, and none of this will happen to people without the technology of the veterans .But when the factory is completed and the workers are proficient in production, they will only think that everything in the factory was created by them and has nothing to do with the elders.The invisibility of technical knowledge can lead to downplaying the importance of intellectual property.If knowledge is no longer important, then the glory of the elders is not far from lost time.

In order to ensure that workers always know and clearly know the importance of the technology of the elders in the Senate, it is very necessary to ensure intellectual property rights.

To ensure the importance of intellectual property rights, it is necessary to instill in people from the very beginning that intellectual property rights need to be purchased with real money. Not only must they be purchased, but they must also be able to generate money continuously like farmland.Only in this way will the long-term glory of the elders be guaranteed.

In addition, in the past, their technology diffusion was mainly carried out through the selection of collaborators. There is no specific standard for this selection, but it is more of a personal opinion of the veterans.Often a certain aboriginal businessman was favored by the elders or a certain department because of a coincidence, and he was supported.Although it seems that the current supported objects are doing well in general, it is unfair and highly speculative and accidental.It also made the aboriginal businessmen more motivated to try to exploit.This is not conducive to creating a fair and open business environment.

Wu Nanhai's theory has won the support of many elders.Due to the further strengthening of the strength of the Senate, the attitude of the elders who used to attach great importance to "technology diffusion" has also changed. After all, when they have machine guns, they will not be worried about flintlock technology.Moreover, the industry of the Senate is currently on the same level as a whole, the technical level is the highest in the world, and the situation of pitifully low output needs to be changed urgently.The auction was held under such conditions.

Wu Nanhai picked up the folder on the table, opened it and browsed.The document records the merchants who have paid the deposit.According to the new regulations of the Senate, there must be an operating entity to engage in industry and commerce.Therefore, there are many seemingly unfamiliar companies on this list—all of them are newly registered companies from large local households.

Since the tax bureau came to Guangzhou, large local households have registered companies in order to adapt to the new tax system, so there have been many "limited liability companies".

Wu Nanhai turned to the second page, which was the introduction of the background information of these participating companies. He slowly flipped through the page, looking at the actual controllers behind these ordinary names--there were quite a few names he was familiar with. He was a celebrity in Guangdong in the late Ming Dynasty.Although he is not familiar with other people, they are not ordinary merchants.

In this auction, some benchmark companies that were originally supported and invested by the Senate, such as Zhang’s food company, Chen Liji and Runshitang’s pharmaceutical companies, did not appear. "Newcomers" who are looking for opportunities to make a fortune under the new system.

However, looking at their backgrounds alone, except for a very small number of people, most of the actual controllers have nothing to do with "industry", and more than [-]% are engaged in business, lending and agricultural tenancy as their main income.Less than [-]% of the actual controllers have operated a handicraft industry.Concentrate on the silk weaving industry, food processing industry and handicrafts.

Wu Nanhai has read the "Guangzhou Industrial and Commercial Survey" compiled by the Guangzhou Comprehensive Management Office, and has a good understanding of the background of Guangzhou's industrial and commercial industries. In a word, there are very few large-scale manufacturing industries.So there are almost no such characters in it.

It seems that at any time, doing manufacturing will not make a fortune.Wu Nanhai sighed in his heart, looking at the situation of these big households, almost all the richest are engaged in trade and lending.

If it weren't for the halo of the Senate, it would be impossible to guide them to the manufacturing industry with high investment, low profit and slow return.

Of course, the so-called "patent" in this auction is essentially "franchising".No matter which project the local industrial and commercial households bought, the actual operation is a model in which they pay for it (and maybe also pay for the land), and the Senate provides technology.The current situation of the Senate will not let them lose money at all.After the merchants spent money, it was equivalent to boarding the ship of the Senate. Fame and fortune were indispensable, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Just after noon on January 1th, Wu Yijun came to the big world with his servant in a small sedan chair carried by two people.

The Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce has an office in Dashijie, but the auction is not held in the office.The specific location is at the intersection of the "External World" and "Inner World" of the Great World. There is a row of facades that have been unified and remodeled after being opened up, and the sign "Lianyuanting Tea House" is hung outside.

This tea house is not much different from the local tea houses in Guangzhou, but it was opened by Australians, and the "Cantonese morning tea" sold in the old time and space - now called "Australian morning tea".

As soon as the Australian morning tea appeared, it won a reputation among the affluent class in Guangzhou. Compared with the morning tea in the old time and space, the ancient tea in the 17th century is not only rough in production and selection of materials, but also too "affordable" in terms of portion.A piece of glutinous rice chicken can be eaten as a meal, and the size is even more comparable to Jiaxing meat dumpling.It is too unfriendly for rich people.

If tea lovers know a little about Lingao and the Senate, they will know that the name Lianyuanting has a lot of background.That's right, it is not only a teahouse opened by Australians, but also the "tertiary industry" of Wu Nanhai's Nonglinkou.Since the Nanhai Tea House was managed by the general office and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was only in charge, Wu Nanhai instructed Ye Yuming to open the Lotus Root Tea House in a relatively prosperous industrial and commercial city in the Senate's ruling area, and make it a chain operation.The consumers are mainly veterans and naturalized civilian cadres and workers who are stationed abroad and on business trips, and they also receive indigenous people who want to try something new.

The Lotus Root Tea House opened in Dashijie has naturally become the most popular place for the "upstarts" or big families who intend to cling to in Guangzhou.It is logical to hold an auction here.

Because there is an auction, today's Lianyuanting tea house has a notice "Today's reservation" on the door.More than a dozen small sedan chairs had been parked in the open space at the entrance, and the bearers and attendants were squatting in the corner outside the teahouse, chatting.

Wu Yijun glanced at the sedan chair and attendant.He recognized most of the sedan chairs and attendants of the members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.At first glance, not many heavyweights arrived.Among the people who have come, the most important thing is Gao Ju, but Gao Ju did not participate in the auction today, he was there as a "leader".

It seems that it is still early, Wu Yijun thought to himself, these bigwigs always like to come in time, probably to show their importance.

You can bring a personal attendant into the venue, and the attendant presents an "invitation letter" at the door, and the master and servant are released.

The first floor of the Lotus Root Court Tea House is a spacious and bright lobby, with more than [-] Eight Immortals tables.There are walking horse buildings on all sides.The upstairs of Zouma is full of private rooms, which is very convenient for gatherings and discussing matters—this is one of the reasons why local business leaders like to come here.

Today is the auction, so naturally no one will go to the private room.Half of the tables of the Eight Immortals are already occupied.As soon as they entered the door, everyone stood up and greeted them immediately. Wu Yijun was responding indiscriminately, and the waiter in a white jacket came over to say hello:
"Master Wu, are you sitting in the front today or..."

"It doesn't matter before and after. It just needs to look clearer."

"Okay." Dr. Cha immediately led him to a table next to the wall. Wu Yijun looked around and found that this position could overlook the entire audience. He nodded in satisfaction, and the attendant immediately took out a ticket and handed it to the waiter.

"Thank you, Lord Wu, for the reward!" The waiter nodded and bowed his head, and after a while brought tea sets and cups.The waiter always keeps in mind the preferences of the guests, and if there is no special order, they will follow the old rules.

A small stage was originally set up in the lobby, where entertainers usually performed.Today, there is a door-shaped shelf in the middle of the stage, with a blackboard next to it; and a small table on the other side.It was full of envelopes.

Wu Yijun observed the whole tea house, the one closest to him was a young man, he was a little strange, thinking that there is such a person in the union?Taking a closer look at his appearance, he is somewhat familiar.

It turned out to be him!Wu Yijun suddenly realized.

This young man is none other than Shen Changxi, the young shopkeeper of Jufenghao dumping shop.

As the most famous dumping shop in Guangzhou, Jufenghao Dumping Store was originally a stable "sit and eat" industry.However, since the Australians issued "Aoyang" and banned the circulation of silver and copper coins, the business of dumping shops was over.The reason is self-evident.Moreover, the Central Reserve Bank immediately banned the private gold exchange business, which is tantamount to taking away the last business of the dumping shop.

Naturally, Jufeng is only for closing its doors.The workers and craftsmen in the store were not worried about where to go, and they were quickly absorbed by the Hong Kong Mint and the Guangzhou Branch of the Central Reserve Bank, and the Central Reserve Bank also extended an olive branch to the Shen family and his son, inviting them to take office.After all, the two father and son are also rare "technical talents".

However, the two father and son declined the invitation of the Senate.The Shen family has been in business in Guangzhou for many years, and the family has accumulated a lot of money. They are not willing to "close their doors and go out of business" like this, and are preparing to start anew.

It seems that they have already selected a suitable project, Wu Yijun thought to himself.

Looking a little farther away, it was Boss Mi - Wu Yijun couldn't help frowning, as if he had already smelled the stench.After the big shopkeeper who controlled the manure shops in Guangzhou wholeheartedly handed over all the "manure sections", he changed to specialize in the "fertilizer shop", using his own facilities and channels to sell "fertilizer" for the sanitation office.
