Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 362

[Chapter 362 Business Alliance]

Bathhouse.

A large group of merchants followed Yang He out of it.

Everyone’s hair was still wet, but it was hard to hide the joy on their faces.

“This soap is really good, and it will definitely sell well.” A businessman gave a thumbs up.

“Every piece of commercial goods from the palace is so convincing.”

“No, I just said, it is still good to stay in Yancheng, and the moon is the first to be close to the water.”

“…” The

merchants talked a lot, Everyone looked excited.

The huge profits brought by fine wines, perfumes, and glassware in the palace made them a lot of money.

But the merchant’s thirst for silver is never satisfied.

With one more commodity, they can have one more means of profit.

It is also for this reason that many of them simply bought houses in Yancheng, lived in Yancheng, and kept an eye on the movements of the merchants.

“Master Yang, the firm is going to make a lot of money again this time.” A fat merchant leaned against Yang He.

Yang He is proud of his cleverness.

This bathed, what is the soap? Merchants have an intuitive feeling.

Whether they can make money or not, they must have concerns in their hearts.

“Hahaha, earn money together, earn together.” Yang He winked at the fat merchant.

The merchant’s surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Lin. He is a merchant in Yuzhou controlled by the powerful Wang family.

The eight powerful clans have different approaches to business issues with the four northern counties.

The Dou family, the Xiao family, and the Han family are directly connected with the commercial bank through the core children of the family.

To get the goods or to monopolize the rights, you only need to find the responsible sons and daughters of the powerful family.

The Wang family, Fan family, Ma family, Liang family, and Xie family are different in terms of business and trade.

They distributed business leads to merchants who traded with the Wangfu, and took a cut of their profits from selling the goods of the Wangfu.

Of course, merchants who can get business quotations often have a very close relationship with them.

Or the children of the clan, or the in-laws, or the wealthy businessmen who joined them.

Through the seller’s introduction, the five families directly took the profits from the sale of the Wangfu’s goods in their own state.

The dirty work is left to other people to do.

Although these two approaches are different, the bulk of the profits still fall into the hands of the powerful.

“My lord Yang, I wish you a banquet at home tonight, I wonder if your lord will welcome you.” Seeing Lu Lin and Yang He’s intimacy, a merchant immediately came over with a smile on his face.

“I have a painting boat in Jinlin Pond, and I hope you will appreciate me.”

“…” The

other merchants were not far behind, and they were all flattering.

Even wealthy merchants hoped to invite Yang He together.

After all, the Yanjun Commercial Bank is bound to provide soap to the market next.

Can I get the monopoly? When can I get the goods? How much goods to get, this is all decided by Yang He alone.

Yang He has long been used to this kind of scene, and he looks at ease surrounded by merchants.

When the palace only had good wine, these merchants were not so respectful to him.

But with the introduction of perfume, and then glass, he could really feel the enthusiasm of these merchants growing for him.

Even these merchants’ evaluation of the four northern counties has gradually improved.

There are also many merchants who directly choose to settle in Yancheng, but do business in their hometown.

He understands this change quite well.

After all, the palace is now their clothes parents.

“Everyone, wait a minute, I need to go to the palace, please Your Highness set a price for the soap, these banquets and dancers, we will talk about it later.” Yang He said.

After finishing speaking, Yang He cupped his hands and went straight to the palace.

Seeing Zhao Xu in the study, Yang He said: “Your Highness, the officials have just used a small trick. Now the merchants in Yancheng are praising the soap, and all of them are begging the officials to buy it. But how to price the soap, I hope your Highness will show you.” Exit .”

Zhao Xu stroked his wet hair and asked casually, “How much do you think is suitable?”

Yang He often hangs out with merchants and is more familiar with the market than he is.

So he wanted to know his thoughts before making a decision.

“Currently, the soap in Yancheng sells for three renminbi each, and it’s only a small piece, which is less than half of the soap. The lower officials think it should be sold for five renminbi.” Yang He said.

Zhao Xu nodded. In fact, some business principles in ancient and contemporary times are common.

For example, there are expensive perfumes, but not expensive soaps.

Because perfume is often used in communication, there is an element of comparison in it.

But soap is just a bath product, which is more personal and should not be too expensive, otherwise it will be difficult to sell.

Quantity wins.

This is the same as the result of selling mineral water in the contemporary era and becoming the richest man in the country.

He thought five renminbi was very appropriate.

“Well, let’s set this price.” Zhao Xu nodded.

“There is also a monopoly. Although the price of soap is lower than that of perfume, I think it is similar to perfume. After all, the profit that soap can make is definitely not inferior to that of perfume.” His idea was recognized by King Yan, and Yang He became bolder. point.

“En.” Zhao Xu nodded again, also having no objection to this.

But this time his focus is not on the price of soap, but on a plan to be implemented next.

“This king has an idea about the matter of soap and other commercial goods from the palace.” After thinking about it, he said.

“Your Highness, please show me.” Yang He bowed.

He is looking forward to it, because whenever King Yan has an idea, it will inevitably bring some changes to the four counties.

“This king wants you to set up an organization called the Yan County Business Alliance. All merchants who join the business alliance can get discounts on goods and monopoly rights.” Zhao Xu said.

“Preferential offer?” Yang He frowned, “It’s just that Your Highness, the goods of the palace are unique in the world. If they don’t give them a discount, they still have to buy it. I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Zhao Xu smiled, “This discount is great. It is not for nothing, the essence of the merchant alliance is to control these merchants for use by the palace.”

Merchants are profit-seeking by nature, and they have not changed through the ages. They are slaves to profits, which is why some merchants risk their heads to smuggle.

For these merchants who trade with the Wangfu, the Wangfu is their lifeblood.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this to make these merchants the vassals of the Yan County Commercial Bank.

Not only let them move their wealth to the four northern counties, but also take the interests of the palace as their own.

After all, once the palace is damaged, their interests will also be damaged.

If this plan can be successfully realized, he will be able to build a business empire covering Dasong with the goods of the palace as a link.

He will also let this business empire extend its tentacles to all aspects of Dasong, such as minerals, grain, cloth and so on.

In this way, he can control all aspects of Dasong and hold Dasong’s economic lifeline in his own hands.

At that time, he will only need to say a word about the rise and fall of Dasong’s prices.

Thinking of this, he told Yang He about his plan.

After listening, Yang He was dumbfounded.

The meaning of King Yan is very simple, that is, to buy merchants for the use of the palace and support them to grow bigger.

It’s like sprinkling one chess piece on Dasong’s territory, building an invisible business network, and controlling Dasong’s business invisibly.
