Smuggling Daming

As I said before, during the smuggling process, there is a strict boundary between the smuggler, the supplier, and the purchaser. gradually formed a habit.

When Sanniang introduced the smuggling process to Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong noticed the irrationality of this practice. After all, the times are developing and the situation is constantly changing. However, the original suppliers and purchasers are also eager to participate in smuggling, so this practice has long lost its greatest value.

This practice actually hinders the development of the smuggling industry quite a bit. For example, if a smuggler wants to smuggle a batch of goods, he needs to prepare a considerable amount of money and then pay the supplier to buy the goods.However, if the smuggling businessman is unable to turn over funds for a while, and the other party refuses to pay on credit, then this smuggling business will no longer be able to continue.

Moreover, in this traditional smuggling mode, the smugglers bear most of the risks and at the same time receive most of the smuggling bonuses. This situation seems fair, but in fact it is easy for the smugglers to go bankrupt due to a single mistake. .

Another point is that smuggling merchants get the biggest profits in the smuggling process, which leads to the profits generated by the smuggling industry being in the hands of a few people. This is obviously not conducive to the development of the smuggling industry. Only everyone can get rich from smuggling The return of the smuggling industry can further stimulate the development of the smuggling industry. Only when the industry becomes bigger and stronger will the chambers of commerce in the industry get greater returns.

Of course, Zhou Zhong couldn't be as deep as the above considerations. It's just that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was short of money at this time, and he was influenced by the thoughts of later generations, so he quickly came up with a new smuggling model.

This smuggling model is not complicated. For example, take the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce as an example. During the smuggling process, the Chamber of Commerce will not buy the goods in advance, but sign an agreement with the owner. The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for smuggling the goods, and the final profit The chamber of commerce and the owner of the goods will be divided according to a certain ratio. Of course, if there is an accident with the goods, the loss will be shared by the chamber of commerce and the owner of the goods.

The advantage of doing this is very obvious. The risks encountered in the smuggling process will no longer be borne by the smuggling chamber of commerce alone, and there is no need to prepare a large amount of money in advance as the cost of smuggling. This is a big problem for many smuggling merchants. A very good thing.Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, part of the profits generated during the smuggling process will be distributed to the owner of the goods. After all, the owner of the goods has also taken a considerable risk, so it will naturally increase a part of their income, and this income is far greater than if they directly sell the goods to the smugglers. There are many, and only in this way, those cargo owners will be willing to cooperate with the chamber of commerce.

Zhou Zhong's idea is not particularly novel, even in some business fields of Ming Dynasty, such precedents can be seen, but in the smuggling industry, he is the first to propose it and prepare to practice it. .1.

When Zhou Zhong explained this new smuggling mode, Xu Min, Hu Lei and the others were stunned for a long time, and finally saw the obese old father and son He Xian say: "Nephew Zhou Xian, you This idea is indeed very good. Not only does it reduce the risk of smuggling by half, but there must be many suppliers willing to cooperate with our chamber of commerce, but have you ever thought about it? Consignor, in this way, won’t we earn less money?”

As soon as He Xian's words fell, before Zhou Zhong could answer, Chen Wufa smiled and said, "Brother He's words are wrong. If Nephew Zhou Xian's method is followed, the chamber of commerce will not only not make less money, but will also make more money." Great increase in income!"

He Xian and the others showed surprised expressions when they heard Chen Wufa's words, but Zhou Zhong and the young Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

Chen Wufa went on to say: "On the surface, the smuggling method of Nephew Zhou Xian is indeed to distribute the money to the suppliers, but if you think about it carefully, if the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce launched this kind of smuggling After the method is adopted, not only our old suppliers will flock to it, but even some domestic businessmen who have not participated in smuggling will be very excited, and they will probably come to cooperate with the chamber of commerce with their goods. In this way, the business of the chamber of commerce will definitely It will be very hot, although the money earned by each business is less, but the transaction volume of the business is several times that of the original, and the income of the chamber of commerce will only increase, and will never decrease!"

Chen Wufa is worthy of being the richest man among the five. He quickly figured out the key points and analyzed Zhou Zhong's new smuggling mode very thoroughly. Zhong also admired secretly, no wonder Chen Wufa became one of the largest cotton cloth merchants in the Jiangnan area, this kind of extraordinary mind alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Brother Zhou is indeed a genius from heaven. The reform of the Beigang teahouse a few days ago has already impressed my brother. I didn't expect that you would also reform the smuggling of the chamber of commerce. Although this method has not been implemented yet, Mr. Chen Brother’s vision is definitely not wrong, now Xu is more optimistic about the future of the chamber of commerce!” At this time Xu Min also praised, in fact, he also thought of what Chen Wufa said, but he was among these people. The youngest and the least experienced, he was worried about offending others, so he didn't say anything.

"I knew this earlier. I shouldn't have given up the half of the shares to Brother Chen just now. This time I really lost a lot!" He Xian smiled again and said, at this time he was also convinced by Zhou Zhong's talent, And I really regret that I should have the cheek to take [-]% of the shares before, and Li Mo beside him is also too regretful.

Next, Zhou Zhong discussed with He Xian and the others about the preferential treatment for their shareholders. According to the new smuggling model, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will share the profits of the suppliers' consigned goods. He Xian and the others are shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce, so they consigned For the goods, the chamber of commerce will naturally charge less.As for the specific discount, this is because the share of each consignment is different, so it needs to be discussed in detail in the future.

After discussing business matters, Zhou Zhong's goal has been achieved. He Xian and the others are also full of confidence in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce under Zhou Zhong's leadership, so the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while, and the six of them toasted each other non-stop. He was so drunk that he had planned to sign the shareholding documents, but in the end he had to wait until noon the next day when all six of them were sober before signing.

After signing the shareholding documents, He Xian and the others did not stay in Shuangyu Port for long, and soon returned to land by boat. , although it is not difficult to take out ten thousand taels of silver, but it takes time to prepare if you want to take out so much cash at once.

But as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although Zhou Zhong has asked Sanniang and the others to keep secrets, and He Xian and the others have also promised that they will never leak the content of the discussion that day until the matter is ready. What was discussed was already a commercial secret, and it also related to the interests of everyone. This also convinced Zhou Zhong that no one would be stupid enough to tell others such an important commercial secret.

But when He Xian and the others left Shuangyu Port, Xie Lingyun was sitting in her bedroom in the residence of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce. An ordinary woman was reporting something to her. If Zhou Zhong was here, he would definitely He would recognize this woman as the woman who had been standing behind Xie Lingyun when they came, and her name seemed to be Aunt Shui.

"Miss, according to our eyeliner, Zhou Zhong convened the old customers of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce this time to discuss two things. The first thing is to give up part of the shares of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, so as to raise 8 yuan from those old customers. Two silvers." Aunt Shui lowered her head and reported.

"Sell the shares!" Xie Lingyun was startled when she heard the news, and after a while she muttered to herself: "Zhou Zhong, you are so courageous, it seems that I underestimated you before!"

Smuggling is a lucrative industry. All smuggling chambers of commerce are directly controlled by someone or a certain family. Almost no one is willing to share the smuggling profits in their hands with others. However, Zhou Zhong is so bold as to sell the shares of the chamber of commerce. Some, this not only can raise the funds he needs most, but also binds those people to the profit body of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. You must know that those people in He Xian not only have huge wealth, but also have complicated backgrounds in Daming. With the support of these people, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce must have broader development prospects.

But even if Xie Lingyun knows the benefits of letting others buy shares, she still can't let others buy shares in their Xie family's chamber of commerce. First, she doesn't have Zhou Zhong's courage. However, it cannot arbitrarily decide the direction of the chamber of commerce.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun couldn't help sighing, and then asked Aunt Shui in front of her, "Then what is the second thing Zhou Zhong and the others discussed?"

When Xie Lingyun asked about the second matter, Aunt Shui paused for a moment, and then she told about the reform of the smuggling mode that Zhou Zhong and He Xian had discussed. He Xian who was present here had a very clear conversation with each of them, as if she had heard it with her own ears at the scene.If Zhou Zhong had heard these words, he might really shout out that there was something wrong with them. There were only six of them in the whole hall at that time, and it was impossible for the seventh person to know what they were talking about at that time!

After Aunt Shui reported the matter, her complexion changed, and she said in a cold tone, "Miss, if Zhou Zhong's idea is realized, Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will definitely become the number one chamber of commerce in Shuangyu Port. In addition, he is decisive and ruthless, for such an opponent, it is better for the young lady to make a decision early!"
