The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 576 Capital Contest

"The Ming Dynasty paid a huge price in the war to regain Jiaozhi, spending countless money and food, but the harvest was not much. It is still supporting construction, so many people are indeed dissatisfied with the support for construction again."

Beijing.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Ren with a smile.

Wang Ren lowered his head, showing embarrassment.

After setting up his own business, this former steward of his own family did nothing but imitate his own business philosophy.

However.

Department stores were opened not only in prosperous areas, but also in poor areas, with the task of ensuring local demand for goods.

Hezhong Commercial Bank will not do anything without profit. In various provincial capitals and prosperous prefectures and counties, over several years, it has opened more than [-] comprehensive department stores, defeating the local department stores.

Mastering the business channels gave Hezhong Trading Company an extraordinary status and was sought after by various trading houses. Although the capital was not as good as that of Heji, its status was higher than that of the other companies.

Zhu Gaochi had to sigh.

No matter what era, there are extremely smart people who can do shocking things as long as the restrictions on them are relaxed.

"The current situation of Hezhong Trading Company is due to the wise guidance of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun and the support of the society. The interests of Hezhong Trading Company come from the society, and we must repay the society and conscientiously implement the instructions of His Highness the Emperor Taisun. Take it from the people, use it for the people, and bear social responsibility.”

Wang Ren is full of Mandarin and is worthy of being a talent from China Heavy Industries.

"Hezhong is a competitor of the trading house, not the supply and marketing cooperative. The two can learn from each other. The supply and marketing cooperative has a lot to learn from Hezhong Trading Co., Ltd."

After hearing Wang Ren's humble statement, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand.

"Your Hezhong Trading Company is not only a channel, but also very advanced in terms of purchasing system."

"The best-selling products are placed in the most conspicuous positions, and one or two of the slow-selling products are eliminated every month. This forces merchants to improve their products to meet consumers' needs and even stimulate consumers' desire to consume."

In the square of Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Gaochi talked as he walked, and Wang Ren followed beside him, listening carefully and not daring to miss a word.

In terms of industrialization.

Everyone is a student of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. When His Highness the Emperor Taisun was still a young prince, he held regular meetings every month to train shopkeepers and managers, and taught many economic principles.

Wang Ren was also one of them and was deeply inspired.

“Consumption is not fixed.”

"The wide variety of commodities can stimulate people to use their money for consumption." Zhu Gaochi said: "In fact, before the large-scale well system was implemented, the social model in Peiping was the real development direction of industrialized society."

"Because there are more external temptations, people want to buy more goods, whether they are necessities or the trend of comparison, which stimulates people's enthusiasm for making money and stimulates them to leave the land and join factories."

"The more people join the industry, the more production will be brought about, resulting in more and more goods on the market, stimulating people's desire to consume more, spending all the money earned, and allowing factories to increase and expand, absorbing More workers form a virtuous economic cycle process."

Hearing this, Wang Ren stepped forward and asked tentatively: "So the Emperor Taisun founded the supply and marketing cooperative not only to provide goods and materials for exchanging food stamps, but also to stimulate people's consumption. I wonder if his subordinates founded the cooperative?" Have all the merchants hindered the young prince’s plan, or even hindered the development of the Ming Dynasty?”

The Head Office of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is increasingly dissatisfied with Hezhong Trading Company. According to former colleagues, China Heavy Industries is internally discussing unhealthy competition regulations. If enacted, it will be very detrimental to Hezhong Trading Company.

"In terms of productivity efficiency, the emergence of Hezhong has improved the efficiency of the production link, which is beneficial to the development of society. Stimulating people's consumption is the social mission of supply and marketing cooperatives and other businesses."

"but."

Zhu Gaochi changed the subject, and Wang Ren's face darkened.

"In the competition between Hezhong and the China Heavy Industries Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the supply and marketing cooperative is the restricted party. You can only focus on profits, but the supply and marketing cooperative cannot. In many places, the supply and marketing cooperative must operate even at a loss."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Ren's anxiety and deliberately smiled to ease Wang Ren's nervousness.

really.

Seeing the emperor's grandson's smile, Wang Ren felt relieved.

"You, Hezhong Trading Company, relied on competition to defeat the supply and marketing cooperatives in a prosperous area. It proves that you are attentive. In terms of business, you have surpassed the supply and marketing cooperatives. The supply and marketing cooperatives need to learn from you."

"It's just that the places where supply and marketing cooperatives made profits have been taken away by you, but the places where they lost money still have to be maintained. In the long run, supply and marketing cooperatives cannot sustain themselves."

Zhu Gaochi explained the truth clearly.

Wang Ren said bluntly: "Whatever ideas His Highness the Emperor Taisun has, my subordinates will definitely accept them."

Wang Ren used the tone of saying that he was in China Heavy Industries.

"You have to set a certain proportion of Hezhong's turnover and hand it over to the supply and marketing cooperatives. This can be regarded as compensation to the supply and marketing cooperatives due to the unfair competition between the two parties."

"We, Hezhong, can also open department store buildings in unprofitable areas."

Wang Ren said tentatively.

He was not willing to use the profits of the commercial bank to subsidize the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

Businessmen are profit-seeking.

If you are weak today, you are willing to compromise in order to protect your own interests. If you are strong tomorrow, you will not be able to maintain it.

Supply and marketing cooperatives need to improve, learn from the model of Hezhong Trading Company, and compete with Hezhong Trading Company. Zhu Gaochi does not restrict private trading companies, but does not allow private trading companies to dominate and monopolize social industries. This is the long-term solution, which is good for the people and the country. most beneficial.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun had made up his mind, Wang Ren could only accept it and left the Wenhua Palace in frustration.

The scenery of Wenhua Palace could no longer attract Wang Ren.

But that's all.

Wenhua Hall has become a practical government affairs processing center. It is not very ornamental and has no major construction projects. It is indeed inferior to the increasingly prosperous restaurants and gathering places outside.

"This person is dissatisfied."

Zhu Gaosui became the nominal top person in charge of Jinyiwei, and specific affairs were managed by Ji Gang, Li Daoxin and others.

Looking at Wang Ren's retreating figure, Zhu Gaosui stepped forward to remind his elder brother. "I'm not Tang Monk Rou, everyone loves me."

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

Many people are dissatisfied with the height of a great man.

saint.

It will always be admired by future generations.

Because the people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade, all the benefits are enjoyed by the people in the future.

A person who is praised by everyone in the current era must not be a great man.

Who can’t be a “good person”?

The "good old guys" in the enterprise will eventually cause the enterprise system to collapse. The same is true for the country.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

The most sage and selfless official in the Ming Dynasty was definitely Zhang Juzheng.

But in Zhang Juzheng's era, there were many people who hated him. In the early days, everyone called for beating him. Even his disciples betrayed him. His disciples openly betrayed their mentor, which was the first of its kind in history.

Zhu Gaochi never felt that he could be supported by everyone, and he would definitely not be able to do so, no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad.

Heji and Hezhong.

The two are not the same industry, but they have the same equity model and the background of the founders is the same.

On the grounds of unfair competition, China Heavy Industries sued Wang Ren, the former manager of China Heavy Industries, the first president of the Briquette Chamber of Commerce, and the current owner of Hezhong Commercial Bank, and requested the imperial court to prohibit Hezhong Commercial Bank from opening a department store at the location of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The lawsuit caused a huge stir.

The prosecutors held their own opinions in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and staged a legal drama.

But Wang Ren sat with the stewards of the supply and marketing cooperative. They were not as hostile as the outside world, but instead offered tea to each other.

The reception was organized by managers from the Department of Industrial Planning and the Department of Economic Regulation under the Ministry of Industry, allowing both parties to discuss terms acceptable to both parties.

Based on the idea proposed by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, Hezhong Trading Company handed over [-]% of its turnover to the supply and marketing cooperative to end the lawsuit.

Drink tea, drink tea, and get down to business.

The management of the supply and marketing cooperative put forward the requirements they negotiated.

"First, 5.00% of Hezhong Commercial Bank's trade volume needs to be handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives."

"Second, Hezhong Commercial Bank is not allowed to open in areas where supply and marketing cooperatives have already been established, and existing places must be relocated."

"Third, Hezhong Commercial Bank must accept the supervision and management of the supply and marketing cooperative in the future, formulate a set of rules and regulations for the industry, and abide by the rules."

"fourth."

"Stop talking."

Wang Ren interrupted the other party directly.

"His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun, please issue an order to ban Hezhong Trading Company. All materials and property of Hezhong Trading Company are willing to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty to contribute to the country. I am convinced and have absolutely no complaints."

"Eh."

"Don't always bring up His Highness the Emperor Taisun. His Highness the Emperor Taisun is busy with national affairs. Although you are a former manager of China Heavy Industries and have followed His Highness the Emperor Taisun for a long time, there is no reason to do this."

Industrial Planning Department, Wei Yi's subordinate said dissatisfied.

Then he looked at the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not sincere when you talk like this. It goes against the original intention of His Royal Highness, don't let it down."

Wang Ren didn't dare to lift the table, and said angrily that retreat would be an advantage.

The supply and marketing cooperative is also unwilling to violate Zhu Gaochi.

Both parties had the same position, and with the mediation of most departments, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

"Two percent of the trade volume of Hezhong Commercial Bank is handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives. The supply and marketing cooperatives are the leading enterprises in this type of industry. They should indeed assume the role of guidance and management and formulate rules and regulations for the industry to promote social productivity. Under this rule, the whole industry can accept and abide by the rules.”

"In the market, competition in the private economy is allowed. Supply and marketing cooperatives must not suppress or resist. They must accept competition and cannot rest on their merits."

"Take a look. If there are no problems, turn it over to His Royal Highness. There will be no room for change."

"No."

After Wang Ren read it, although he was heartbroken, he knew that it was a serious matter and chose to accept it.

Supply and marketing cooperatives are equally dissatisfied.

I used to make money while lying down, but now I have to be competed by others, but there is nothing I can do about it.

China Heavy Industries was not only split up by Zhu Gaochi, but while shouldering social responsibilities, it also gave preferential treatment to some monopolies in the energy industry, but it also had to be subject to social competition, which was not something to enjoy.

Private commercial banks have the advantage of flexibility, high proactive performance, and strong comprehensive competitiveness, which makes many managers of China Heavy Industries uncomfortable to adapt.

Drinking tea and reading newspapers while working. Such a beautiful and decent life lasted less than two or three years. Before many people could react, they were knocked dizzy by the big stick of reality.

Many managers were dismissed, and the new managers tried every means to maintain the existing market. There were not many factories that could still develop under the competition of the private economy.

Both sides reached an agreement.

The lawsuit with the Public Security Bureau was also concluded, and the supply and marketing cooperative withdrew its complaint.

The people in the capital watched a play and it was a topic of conversation and laughter in the market, but many people did not know its significance.

The lawsuit between the supply and marketing cooperative and Hezhong Commercial Bank became another major milestone in the confrontation between China Heavy Industries and private commercial banks. It ended with both parties taking what they wanted and compromising with each other, providing a new solution.

Private commercial banks no longer had any scruples and began to make great efforts to seize the market share of China Heavy Industries. The competition between the two parties became increasingly fierce.
