Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 63

[Chapter 63 Patterns]

“Hahaha, whether you accept it or not, I am also number one. Dong An, there are so many people here, so don’t play tricks, you can’t afford it.”

Yang He fell into ecstasy when he learned that he was the number one .

In the past ten days, he couldn’t eat well or sleep well. The people in Manyan County looked for merchants who sold ore, and accompanied them to eat and drink, and even humbly begged.

Let him, a son of the Yang family who used to be rampant, lose face.

Now, his hard work has finally paid off.

Zhao Xu saw that Dong An’s face was pale, obviously this incident hit him hard.

He shook his head and said, “You can go back and ask your father to find out about this.”

Dong An was stunned, and a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his heart, that is, once a merchant came to his door on his own initiative and gave him a large amount of ore.

Now that King Yan said that, he probably understood.

“Father, you are not a beloved son, you are a ruined son.” Dong An stomped his feet angrily, and then said dejectedly: “I would like to bet and admit defeat.”

Zhao Xu nodded, “You don’t know if you are guilty of this matter. According to the amount, you Second, this time for the officials of the commercial firm, Yang He will be the principal, you will be the deputy principal, and the rest will be the officials of the commercial firm in order.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Everyone bowed and saluted, and the chosen children of the rich family all smiled happily .

Zhao Xu continued: “This time, since you are the officials of the royal family, you should always think of the royal family in everything you do in the future, and you can no longer put your own family’s self-interest first. You should abandon the interests of the small family and serve the strength of everyone. It is thriving day by day, otherwise, this king will not forgive those who use power for personal gain.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone’s heart trembled.

In this competition, although they were happy to get the official position, at the same time, there was a string in their hearts that broke down.

During these ten days, their every move was under the surveillance of King Yan, which shows that the palace has placed many eyeliners in the city.

Therefore, Yan Wang is definitely not a joke.

If they dare to seek personal gain through commercial activities, they are afraid that they will really die.

Let the other children go back first, Zhao Xu left Dong An and Yang He alone.

After pondering for a while, he said: “During this period of time, the commercial firm has been developing savagely, and now Yan County is under the jurisdiction of the Royal Palace. As a commercial firm that is extremely important to the Royal Palace’s finances, it is natural to become regular, and at the same time, it must also earn the most for the Royal Palace. , Now, the king has let you take charge of the firm, what are you going to do to maximize the interests of the firm?”

Yang He put away his frivolous smile at this time, and said seriously: “Your Highness, I think that the sale of fine wine from the palace should be prohibited now. Other merchants can buy them if they want to, and let them pay a sum of money to the commercial bank to become the lower-level merchants of the commercial bank, and at the same time require them to sign a contract with the commercial bank, strictly requiring the scope and price of their sales.”

After a short pause, he continued, “At the same time , the chamber of commerce wants to hold the richest capital and several cities in the south of the Yangtze River in its hands, and sell them directly, so that it can reap the greatest benefits.”

Zhao Xu nodded while listening, and looked at Yang He with a slightly different look.

Although this kid is frivolous, he still has some skills.

He said exactly what he was thinking.

In the past, he didn’t have enough hands, so he could only sell them loosely to local wealthy families and merchants, and let them act as retailers.

But now that he has mastered Yan County and can spare his hand to develop the business, the problem is different.

To control the source of goods by oneself, it is natural to maximize the benefits and control the final sales pricing power.

Especially in a place like the capital, the commercial firm should be in its own hands and set up a monopoly, just like a contemporary specialty store.

As for other places with thin profits, they can be sold to other merchants as Yang He said, and let them monopolize them.

And commercial firms can control them through supply, making them obedient.

After Yang He finished speaking, Dong An added: “Your Highness, what Yang He said is right, but the scope of the goods sold in the Wangfu should be sold as goods, so that the Wangfu can avoid disputes between merchants. Take Yan County as an example. , the Wangfu can make a monopoly document, and only those who buy the document can monopolize the fine wines of the Wangfu. As for whether the merchant buys the monopoly document and resells it to others, the firm does not care, it only recognizes the monopoly document.”

Zhao Xu nodded slowly.

Although Dong An lost this time, he still has the talent to do business.

His thoughts coincided with his.

Just like a contemporary agent, the company only demarcates the scope, and after others buy it, they can monopolize the agency right.

It’s the same now, the Wangfu only recognizes the monopoly documents issued by the Wangfu, and those who have the documents can get the goods, and they don’t recognize anything else.

In this way, confusion can be avoided, and at the same time, it can avoid being involved in disputes among lower-level merchants.

After all, the first merchant to win the monopoly document may not be able to enjoy the local food.

At that time, it was inevitable to monopolize the documents.

“Well, the words of the two of you won the heart of the king. After returning, you wrote documents and gathered the merchants who came to Yan County to the trading house. From now on, only merchants who come with exclusive documents can get goods from the palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two replied in unison.

Zhao Xu nodded, and the operation mode of the firm was officially born.

In the future, other commodities will also follow this path, because this is a model that has been practiced in contemporary society and maximizes benefits.

And the most important thing is that it can also work in ancient times.

The rich in ancient times used cities as their settlements.

When selling wine, you only need to list these cities one by one.

If they dare to sell beyond this range, the firm will send people to investigate, and once verified, their monopoly will be cancelled.

This will be added to their monopoly documents to strengthen the prestige of monopoly documents.

“By the way, since you have agreed to control the capital and several wealthy cities in the south of the Yangtze River in the hands of the merchants, who will go to the capital to take charge of this matter?” Zhao Xu remembered this matter.

Although Yan County is the headquarters of the firm, the capital also needs a headquarters of the firm to facilitate the coordination between the north and the south.

And in the future, they may have to sell things from Jiangnan, which requires someone from the capital even more.

“Your Highness is willing to go.” Before Yang He could speak, Dong An snapped, “This time my father cheated, and Your Highness trusts this low official, which makes him very ashamed. I am willing to run the capital to repay Your Highness’ kindness.”

Yang He reminded: “Dong An, the capital is no better than Yan County. I’m afraid there will be many difficulties, and you may even lose your life.”

Dong An smiled sassyly, “I just don’t want to work under you. It’s too embarrassing. Do something big to prove that I am better than you.”

Yang He rolled his eyes.

Zhao Xu didn’t speak, but he could tell that Dong An was very strong.

He was not reconciled to losing this time. After all, if he knew his father was cheating in advance, he would definitely find a way to buy more to make up for the ores his father provided.

He is going to the south this time, and he is probably partly angry with his father, blaming him for this dirty thing in private.
