Steel Dynasty - Chapter 92

[Chapter 92 Membership System]

A group of businessmen looked at Xiao Ming, and there was a brief silence after Xiao Ming’s words fell.

In the end, Ding Wanquan spoke first. He said: “His Highness said that he cannot agree easily. This means that we still have a chance. I hope His Highness can make it clear.”

“I hope His Highness can make it clear.” Other businessmen said in unison.

Xiao Ming glanced at Ding Wanquan. This old boy was really good at observing people’s emotions. It was no wonder he had so much wealth, but he was not that easy to fool.

“Everyone has seen this glass, how much is it worth? I think you all have your own measure in your mind. If it is sold, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and at the same time, it will also amass a lot of wealth.” Xiao Ming said.

The businessmen looked at each other and nodded.

Xiao Ming continued: “The production cost of this glass is extremely high. If I leave it to you now, I will also suffer heavy losses.”

This statement that the cost of glass is very high is false, but it is easy for people who don’t understand it to believe it, because in their eyes, the glass is very expensive. It’s so unusual.

Seeing Xiao Ming’s embarrassed look, Ding Wanquan said, “Your Highness, if His Highness allows us to sell, we will definitely not let His Highness suffer. We can buy the right to sell.”

“Yes, Your Highness, As long as His Highness opens his mouth, we still have the money,” the merchants said one after another.

Xiao Ming nodded at this time, “Even so, I’m afraid I can’t provide so much glass at once. It’s embarrassing to say that there is really a lack of available craftsmen in my fief. This is also the reason why glass production is slow.”

” “I see, Your Highness, my Zhou family has many slave craftsmen. If Your Highness needs them, I will send them to you,” said the merchant from Prince Liang’s fiefdom.

Another businessman said: “I can report this matter to the King of Huainan and ask His Highness the King of Huainan to draw out some slave craftsmen.” “

…”

The merchants expressed their kindness to Xiao Ming with each word.

What they were talking about were slave craftsmen. It was very simple. Xiao Ming was not at ease when free craftsmen were brought over.

Xiao Ming deliberately frowned and thought deeply for a while, and then said: “Since you are so sincere, I can promise to open the sale of glass to you five months in advance. However, this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other businessmen. Why don’t you upgrade to the Chamber of Commerce?” “

Member

?” All the businessmen suddenly looked strange.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: “This is the policy that the Chamber of Commerce is going to implement next. I will divide the merchants in the Chamber of Commerce into ordinary members, intermediate members, senior members, bronze members, silver members, gold members, deacons, and elders according to their contribution to the chamber of commerce.” “

What does this contribution mean?” asked a businessman.

Xiao Ming said: “This chamber of commerce was created by me for the prosperity of my fiefdom and to create a free commercial city. This contribution is naturally a contribution to the construction of a commercial city. As for contributions, there are many categories, among which those traded in the chamber of commerce The total amount of silver can be counted as a basic contribution. Providing craftsmen, food, ores, etc. to the chamber of commerce can also be calculated as a contribution. When the contribution reaches a certain amount, you can be promoted to a higher level member and enjoy more conveniences of the chamber of commerce.”

The merchants heard this. , suddenly fell into thinking.

Xiao Ming continued to explain, “Members at the vice-president, elder, and deacon levels will be able to obtain all Qingzhou products as soon as possible in the future, and they can also get the best discount on the purchase price, and they also have some management rights and specific policies of the chamber of commerce. This king will be handed over to Li Kaiyuan. “

This membership system is a modern and extremely money-making system. The purpose is to maximize profits and attract a group of high-quality consumers.

Now Xiao Ming is applying this method. With his current strength, he cannot take care of every merchant because the cost is too high. He needs to take care of a group of high-quality merchants, and these merchants will then cooperate with other small merchants.

Moreover, the launch of the membership system will make these big businessmen desperately climb up in exchange for greater profit margins, but the contribution value required among this class is also huge.

When they climb up, Xiao Ming will also make a lot of money.

And once they fall into the trap, these merchants are tied to the chariot of the Chamber of Commerce. Not only are they merchants in Qingzhou, but he is also using merchants from the entire Great Chongqing Kingdom to do things for him.

“Get it immediately.” A businessman is tempted.

Xiao Ming continued to throw out chips, “Not only will you get the goods first hand, but some technical craftsmanship will also be sold according to different membership levels in the future.”

This temptation was thrown out, and the businessman sitting below could no longer calm down.

The sale of technology will also mean that businessmen with high status in the chamber of commerce will get the technology first, and businessmen with low status can only be envious.

Xiao Ming looked at these merchants calmly and waited for them to “recharge”. After a while, Ding Wanquan suddenly stood up and said: “Your

Highness

, I am willing to give two million taels of silver, one hundred thousand shi of grain, and five thousand craftsmen and slaves to the Chamber of Commerce.”

With this contribution, Member Ding can be directly promoted to senior membership. In this way, Member Ding can get this glass in two months. “Xiao Ming raised his thumb, and Ding Wanquan just spent money to buy the membership level. Instead of relying on transactions within the chamber of commerce to level up step by step.

He didn’t see that Ding Wanquan still had a short temper.

“You can get it in two months.” Other businessmen immediately exploded. They were not members yet and it would still take six months to get the glass.

Ding Wanquan was overjoyed and looked at the other businessmen with some pride.

“I also offer two million taels of silver.” A businessman stood up and shouted.

“I will provide ten thousand craftsmen.”

“I will provide one hundred thousand catties of iron ore.”

“…”

The businessmen stood up one by one. They fought hard for the membership level and donated their best resources to the Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Ming’s face was calm, but he was laughing wildly in his heart. The modern membership method worked really well. For the special status of the chamber of commerce and more rights and interests, businessmen who were caught in the psychology of users were trapped one after another.

“Everyone, come one by one, don’t worry, Lu Luo went to get a pen to write down the donations from all the members one by one, and handed them to Li Kaiyuan.” Xiao Ming said.

Luluo picked up the pen beside Xiao Ming and started recording. She was still confused and didn’t know what method Xiao Ming used to make these businessmen donate money and materials like chicken blood.

After making a fuss, Lu Luo wrote down all the things donated by the businessmen sitting there. Xiao Ming counted them and was quite surprised.

These people have all reached the level of senior members, which means that he will open glass sales to them in two months.

But for him, what he got this time was enough to make up for his losses, nine million taels of silver, five million stones of grain, some iron and steel, 30,000 slave craftsmen, 100,000 coolie slaves, silk cloth Five thousand horses, one thousand horses, and a lot of other miscellaneous things, he made a lot of money.
