Chapter 573 The Era of Non-Free Competition

"How many of you are? There are only about 300 people who have to hold a boat to death. Even if it is iron, how many nails can you get?" Cui Xin said a word, turned around and said to the coachman: "Go to see the master."

Ningyuan, Chen Xie was walking with Ye Xianyun with satisfaction. After unremitting efforts, the woman finally planted it. Now she was a hen that laid eggs, holding her chin so arrogantly that it made people want to beat her. No, Zhou Xiuying wanted to bite her.

"Look at what you are so proud of, can you let go of cotton cloth?" Zhou Xiuying's eyes were full of jealousy, and her tone was not very kind. Ye Xianyun snorted and said, "Everyone doesn't care about the well water, and your business is not small anymore. Such a large silk factory has hundreds of steam engines alone. Do you still think about my business? Your Zhou family's Sangyuan has an additional 1,000 acres this year."

"The Zhou family is the Zhou family, I am me. I only have 40% of the shares in the silk factory. There is more than one silk factory in the Ming Dynasty. Your cotton factory can be, but your cotton factory is a cotton factory that uses machine weaving. Why do you still have to keep the sales of Liaodong woolen? Master, you judge, this kind of woolen has always been the sales she manages. When I ask for orders, she refuses to discount it."

The two of them have always been like this, and for the sake of business benefits, they never give in to each other. Chen Xie did not think that the two were fighting for profit, it was nothing more than a living habit. "Don't look at me, I said at the beginning that you can discuss the goods from Liaodong by yourself." Chen Xie quickly left himself out, and Zhou Xiuying glared at him angrily: "She holds the cotton cloth in her hand, why should I compete with her? I don't care. She has occupied the market in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, and she must give it to me."

When Chen Xie saw Han Shan at the gate of the yard, he immediately walked away, leaving two women to continue quarrel. During the trip to Huating, Chen Xie had a lot of things to do, mainly to listen to reports from Nanyang. He didn't come in advance a few days, waiting for the people there to come back? When he saw Han Shan, he thought it was someone from Nanyang who had come back.

"Lin Ya or Su Haochen?" Chen Xie asked casually, and Han Shan whispered: "It's Cui Xin." Chen Xie was obviously stunned. Cui Xin is now the Secretary-General of the Jiangnan Provincial Advisory Bureau and the President of the Silk Guild. If it weren't for his age, he would have been elected as the Speaker of the Advisory Bureau.

"What's wrong with him?" Chen Xie asked strangely, and Han Shan said, "It was a problem with the ship that went to Japan to receive raw silk, but I didn't ask the specific one." Hearing this, Chen Xie was obviously stunned. Chen Xie had not planned to take action for Japan yet, and felt that he had to wait for the foundation in Nanyang to be solid before turning around and take action against Japan. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened. Japanese raw silk is also an important resource for the Jiangnan silk industry. After the industrial production began, the demand for raw silk increased sharply. Japan was originally an important source of raw silk in the Ming Dynasty's silk industry. Now it seems more important, and no one is willing to let go.

"Let's go, see what's going on?" Chen Xie walked out with his hands behind his back. Han Shan quickly followed. When he reached the door, he saw Cui Xin standing under the steps and entering the garden without relying on his identity.

"What are you doing when standing outside? Come in." Chen Xie said casually, but in fact he was very satisfied with Cui Xin's attitude. This kid has been trained and has a very steady job, not inferior to Yan Xiaosheng, a steel tycoon in Nanjing and newspaper tycoon.

Cui Xin came in and he had an account in his mind. This was the same place as the master's backyard, and he could not enter it casually. He followed the study all the way, and Chen Xie asked about the reason after sitting down. Cui Xin explained in detail. Within the Ming Dynasty Silk Guild, there was no agreement on importing raw silk from Japan. The reason was that the Ming Dynasty had two important silk production sites, one was Hangzhou and the other was Susong. The reason was that there was no agreement or because of interests. Hangzhou merchants were in charge of group to compete with Susong, with the purpose of the purpose of this share. What was this share?

What's going on? We should go back to the issue of foreign trade. The production of silk produced by the Ming Dynasty has increased significantly in the past two years, which directly led to a decline in prices. In order to stabilize this momentum, Cui Xin proposed a plan to limit the amount of silk going to sea, limit it to one level every year, and ensure everyone's profits. In this way, there is a saying in this share. Japanese raw silk is cheaper than Ming Dynasty and can reduce a lot of costs, and it is difficult for everyone to form a consensus on this aspect. This also directly led to the price of Japanese raw silk rising by 30%. Even so, it is about 10% cheaper than local raw silk in the Ming Dynasty.

In Japan, it is foreseeable that some merchants take advantage of the opportunity to have too high prices, but Cui Xin has a contract with a Japanese trading company. In the eyes of the Japanese, it is no big deal. Can the Ming Dynasty come and bite them? If the raw silk in Japan is not worried about being sold, who cares about this?

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, the conflicts intensified in the custom house and drank high. In order to compete for the overnight rights of several custom girls, the two sides fought. Because there were few people and no one, they suffered a loss. Perhaps this was the case. Chen Xie touched his chin and thought to himself that this was the protagonist's halo? He had never had the right time to find trouble for the Japanese, and he didn't want to force him to go up and find the place back. After all, this was because of trade. Japan's trade with China was relatively advantageous in the Ming Dynasty. Lacquerware, raw silk, knives, silver, copper, sulfur, and nitrate were very popular in the Ming Dynasty.

But after Chen Xie appeared, there was no big market for Japanese knives, lacquerware and nitrogen. I won’t talk about knives, which cannot be compared with modern steel, and lacquerware is even worse. Who still uses various utensils now? Who can use lacquerware when a woman gets married? There is no need for all kinds of utensils to be used? Even utensils, because the technology of purifying soil and nitrogen has a low cost and high quality, and it is not comparable to Japanese goods at all. Trade has changed from surplus to deficit, and Japan pays more attention to the remaining main products. Capitalism is indeed a sin, and for the sake of trade interests, it is indeed a war.

Japan is now in the Shogunate period, and its only external window is the so-called Choshu Vanguard. So, the Japanese merchants there really don’t worry about the Ming people not going there. Except for him, other places will not accept overseas merchants. In the whole of Japan, other places are not allowed to trade. Even in the Choshu Vanguard, it is a smuggling trade.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say. Chen Xie waited for Cui Xin to finish his words and said lightly: "After you go back, first place the funeral of the dead brothers, and then convene a silk guild. No matter what method you use, reach an agreement for me, and integrate the internal situation first. Don't fight for your own people first for some benefit. Secondly, tell those guild members that trade with Japan will be fully open in the future and you can do whatever you want. After the Honcho Hall has promised this, they should also put some effort into it.

I know how to enjoy the benefits. Now I sit at home to check cash for the trade in Thailand. How much tax will they pay for such a huge profit? It is not enough to maintain the Ming Fleet, so it will definitely not work. Silk is considered a luxury item, and a luxury tax of 5% will be imposed in the future. There is another thing, if you spread it, you will say that all the shops in Huating New District will be officially sold. The current tenants have priority purchase rights. If they don’t buy it, and when the lease expires, whether the shop can still be rented by him, it depends on the landlord.”

Cui Xin has been using a pen to record quickly. When he heard this, he asked: "What if the merchants are short of funds? Don't cause the capital chain to break for the sake of the shop, then it's not helping them, but hurting them." Chen Xie looked at the kid with relief with his eyebrows. The question was very interesting. He nodded and said: "Do you think Dafa Bank is a decoration? It used to be called a money shop, but now it is changed to a bank. Do you think it's just a random change? Tell them that as long as there is a mortgage, the purchase shop can be paid in installments. Once the bank fails to pay it back, the shop will be auctioned by the bank to collect the principal and interest, and the excess will be returned. For details, go to the bank to ask."

Chen Xie's Dafa Money Bank was officially renamed Dafa Bank. In recent years, the partners of various provinces are no longer shareholders of any branch. All branches' shares are converted into silver, either buying the bank's shares or exiting the industry. Chen Xie is too strong. No matter in any aspect, those past partners have no room for competition and can only obey. The integrated Dafa Bank has improved some business methods and is becoming more and more close to the prototype of modern banks.

The current situation is that all coastal provinces have branches of Dafa Bank, mainland provinces, Henan, Shanxi, and Dafa Bank branches. The entire network is constantly spreading across the country, and provinces such as Jiangxi, Huguang, and Sichuan along the Yangtze River are also planning to establish branches. A national bank has been unstoppable. Interestingly, the silver dollar that occurred in this bank is now the official default currency of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Xie will solve this problem sooner or later and needs to be officially recognized by the government, otherwise the emperor will turn against him much faster than turning over the book.

The issuance of currency was originally a matter of the country. Chen Xie, the bank, replaced the role of the Ministry of Revenue. The silver coins issued were much stronger than the official silver of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue simply charged cash registers into the national treasury.

Cui Xin said goodbye and left, first settled the injured, and then handled the funeral of the deceased. At the same time, he posted a bunch of posts asking the silk owners in Hangzhou and Susong to attend the meeting before the end of the month, and the expiration will not be met, and the consequences will be borne by the consequences. This is a very serious wording, which represents Cui Xin's anger and the anger of the big man behind it.r1152
