Chapter 154 Merchants Association
The Liaodong Investment Promotion Association was held in Chu Yun's mansion. Since there were too many people, only the most powerful businessmen were qualified to negotiate in Chu Yun's room. The other businessmen could only listen to the introductions of Chu Yun's officials in the corridor in the courtyard.
There are twenty or thirty big merchants in Chu Yun's mansion, each of whom represents a business force! Among these big merchants, there are merchants from Jiangnan, merchants from Shanxi, merchants from Liaodong, and even...
"Where is this businessman from?" Chu Yun frowned when he saw a businessman's clothes were weird and exotic.
"A noble general of the Celestial Empire, I am a businessman from Annan Kingdom. I heard that the goods here are cheap and beautiful, so I traveled thousands of miles to seek cooperation." The businessman said in a non-standard Chinese.
Even the merchants from Annan Kingdom came? Their business was spread overseas. Chu Yun was a little surprised. He had not yet deliberately developed into the Nanyang area. Unexpectedly, the merchants from Nanyang came to him by smelling the smell of silver.
The big businessman who could step into Chu Yun's room this time must be worth at least 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise he would not even be qualified to meet Chu Yun. The reason why this Annan businessman was arranged in shows that he or the power behind him is a large consortium of 100,000 taels!
"Since you've come from afar, let's listen for now." Chu Yun doesn't mind Annan's merchants coming to lick him. Anyway, they have something to ask for him, and it's useless to make money!
All the merchants sat in the hall, either closing their eyes to rest, drinking tea alone, or whispering to each other. When Chu Yun was about to speak, they all calmed down and waited for Chu Yun to speak.
Although Chu Yun was young, he was already in charge of Liaodong and was appointed by the court in Liaodong. He was the only one in this land! Moreover, he also had an army, territory, and a large amount of industrial goods! Countless merchants who had relationships with him obtained a steady stream of cheap industrial goods from Liaonan!
"This Liaodong Investment Promotion Conference is held this time, not for anything else, but for building Liaodong City with you and developing Anshan." Chu Yun looked around everyone.
Finally, the topic was reached. Many merchants who were scanned by Chu Yun straightened their backs and wanted to leave a good impression in front of Chu Yun.
"Sir, I wonder if this investment promotion meeting is going to sell land or new products?" Zhang Yuanwai from Nanjing City asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, construction of Liaodong is a big project. The funds invested in the first round and back will probably be calculated in one million taels. Our investment conference is only the first phase of the project. This time, we not only sell some important areas to open factories, shops and warehousing for you, but also open some franchise rights." Chu Yun said.
"Franchise Rights?!" Many merchants lit up. Franchise Rights mean monopoly, and monopoly means huge profits!
"Of course, we will not open the franchise rights of important materials such as salt and iron, but we can contract them to you, such as workers' catering, house construction, canal transportation, etc.," Chu Yun said. "All factories and shops established in Liaodong and Liaonan must obtain franchise rights and licenses from now on before they can open. Of course, for some ordinary factories and shops, we will only register and will not make things difficult for you. If you are engaged in business related to national economy and people's livelihood, you need to go through our permission."
If it is for future generations, these businesses will be catering, real estate, transportation and other industries. If Chu Yun supports all industries with his own strength, it would be unrealistic and later generations have proved that it is not feasible. It is better to share some construction work with private institutions and completely mobilize social capital to build a brand new Liaodong.
"Sir, what do we need to obtain the franchise rights of the housing business?" Wang Changyuan asked Chu Yun.
"Let me introduce it briefly. If you want to obtain the right to build a house in the west of the city, you need to set up a construction team and submit a plan to us. The estimated cost, the ability of the construction team and the detailed construction plan are required. Then we will select the most suitable contractor to be responsible for the construction of the house in this area. This is called bidding." Chu Yun said patiently.
Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed. Chu Yun's idea was really novel.
The vacant land in Chu Yun's hands was naturally taken from the Jurchen nobles. It is understandable that the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy will be successful.
"Because the business involves too much, officials from various departments such as the Land Management Office, the Agriculture Bureau and other departments will discuss in detail with you later. I mainly want to meet you this time and make you feel familiar. There are many new faces this time." Chu Yun said with a smile.
As the Liao army expanded, Chu Yun didn't have to do many things by himself. A large group of subordinates were helping him do things! At this time, Chu Yun only needed to guide the other direction and come out to suppress the venue!
"This is the son of the Zheng family, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. This time I hope to join our Far East Trading Company and build Liaodong together." Wang Changyuan introduced a new Jiangnan merchant to Chu Yun.
The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing was going to join the Far East Trading Company? Chu Yun was a little surprised. In addition to merchants, his Far East Trading Company, even the families of officials in the Ming Dynasty, began to be tied to warships... However, Chu Yun would not regard them as the uncle, because he was the uncle here.
"Zheng Jung Wai, I have been admired for a long time." Although Chu Yun had never heard of who the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing was, he still needed to admire for a long time. "Since he is the son of the Zheng family of the Minister of Revenue, it is easy to join our Far East Trading Company."
"Then I'll be the inspector." Zheng Yuanwai was overjoyed. This time he not only came to do business, but also had a relationship with Chu Yun, the newly inspector of Liaodong, who held real power. This time he was going to send it!
"Far East Trading Company, what is that?" Annanguo merchant in the venue asked in confusion.
As soon as his voice fell, almost all the merchants present wanted to see Annanguo's merchants coming over, as if they were watching an idiot. Even Far East Trading Company didn't know what it was, so they were embarrassed to do business with the Fu Liao army?
"Our Far East Trading Company is a trade alliance that runs business in the East China Sea region together." Chu Yun unexpectedly had the patience to explain to Annanguo merchants, "Only members who join our Far East Trading Company are qualified to do business with us."
In Chu Yun's opinion, the Annan businessmen who came to his door personally were just a big fish! In the future, if their own forces infiltrate into the Nanyang area, they would use them as a stepping stone! What's more, these Annan businessmen seem to be typical of people who are stupid and have weak money...
