Qipan Street is next to the Imperial City, and next to Fugui Street, there are also important yamen such as the clan mansion, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites. It is easy to imagine that every inch of land is worth every inch of land. In this place, whether the shops have the capital to open is second, and the most important thing is whether you have this head and background. After all, Qipan Street is a famous place to attract money in the capital. If you don’t have this background, you will be squeezed down by others as soon as possible.

Qipan Street department stores are gathered, and in addition to this, there are many guild halls located here. Since the Longqing year, people from all provinces have been accustomed to setting up guild halls in the capital. At the beginning of Wanli, there were all kinds of Sichuan guild halls, Shandong guild halls, Guangdong guild halls, Fujian guild halls, and Huguang guild halls in the capital, and almost all provinces have them.

Shanxi Guild Hall is no exception, and Shanxi merchants have great wealth. In Beijing, there are more than 30 guild halls alone, not to mention the establishment of countless Shanxi merchant halls in Yuzhe Shangbu Town.

Qipan Street, Shanxi guild hall is the largest and most famous Shanxi merchant guild hall in the capital. The guild hall is one of five layers in front and back. It is majestic and magnificent, with flowers and trees lush, and it is called wealth and honor. The history of the museum can be traced back to the early years of Longqing. It was founded by Jia Renyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War at that time. At first, it was just for the convenience of banquets among fellow villagers and friends. It had a fixed residence and parking place. Later, merchants from Jindi continued to raise funds and repair it, and finally evolved into the current place where people contacted the countryside, gathered public discussions, and safeguarded the interests of fellow villagers.

At this time, in the hall of this Shanxi Merchants Hall, there were crowds of Shanxi merchants in the capital. These Shanxi merchants were all dressed in fine clothes and rich in their bodies. They were usually rare to see ordinary people. Nowadays, everyone gathered together and listened to Qu Yuanrui's speech at the head of the head, occasionally talking softly. Only those who served in the museum were serving tea and water for each other.

According to the management regulations of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall, there are officials, abbots, fragrant workers and others in the museum. Every year, one of the first persons in the year is selected to manage affairs both inside and outside the museum. Most of these people are prestigious merchants in Beijing. They take turns to change shifts. After being selected, they must do their work impartially and work together to do good deeds and not be favored.

The first person this year was Wang Chongyi, a wealthy man in Puzhou, who was a famous salt merchant. His younger brother Wang Chonggu was the head of the Ministry of Justice at this time and had a deep background. Wang Chongyi's family was even more a big businessman. His father Wang Yao was once a Jinshi and served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. His uncle Wang Xian was also a big merchant. After failing to succeed, he went out to Shang. He went west to Taolong, crossed Zhangye and Dunhuang, and then moved to Bashu, along the Yangtze River, and died in Zhengjiakou. It can be said that he had traveled half a day. Among Wang Chongyi's sisters, the eldest sister married Shen, a salt merchant living in Puzhou, the second sister married Zhang Yunling, the third sister married Yan Yie, and the fourth sister married Ningxia...

As a result, the family was entangled by officials and businessmen. With such a background, Wang Chongyi was as good as a fish in business and his business was getting bigger and bigger. At the beginning of this year, he naturally became the first person in the Shanxi Chamber Hall. At present, Wang Chongyi is over 60 years old, but he is still in great spirits and energy. He was wearing a brocade robe and sitting on a rattan chair, just talking to Qu Yuanrui with a smile, while his sharp eyes narrowed from time to time.

"Shopkeeper Qu, I am proud of you, today I will call you a nephew. It is such a glorious nephew who can come to the Shanxi Guild Hall today. I am very lucky. The guild hall is very lucky!... Although I have been in the capital for a long time, I have heard of the name of the nephew in the capital. The Huang Junmen is so powerful that we all admire, and we are content with the great generals of the Jin area. As the Huang Junmen, the Huang Junmen is responsible for many business affairs. It can be called a person who is deeply dependent on the military..."

Speaking of this, Wang Chongyi paused for a moment, stroked his gray beard for a while, and continued: "I heard that Huang Junmen was trusted by the emperor to manage the Huangzhuang and Huang shop for the emperor. Now he is working with all the Chinese officials to open a cement factory, wool spinning factory, glass factory and other items in Jingjin. He also heard that Huang Junmen intends to set up a chain supermarket in Beijing..."

Hmm, Wang Chongyi said in his heart: "Why is the name of this chain supermarket so strange?..."

He continued: "My dear nephew, opening factories and operating royal villages is a good thing for the country and the people. After all, we have been in Beijing for many years. I wonder if there is any useful place to work with my dear nephew and serve the military?"

As soon as he stopped, everyone present said, "Yes, yes, what Mr. Wang said is very true. After all, everyone is from Shanxi. If you have any business and financial resources, shouldn't forget your fellow villagers, right?"

"The water is very deep in the capital and the capital is important. After all, we have been operating in Beijing for many years, with many channels and wide range of people. With our cooperation, we can save many things, so we can save effort, right?"

"There are many merchants in Beijing, and the business is fierce. If we Shanxi people don't form a group, we are afraid that the capital will have a place where we can stay."

...

Looking at the soft words and silences of everyone present, Qu Yuanrui was quite energetic. In the past few days, what he saw was the look of the merchants in the Jingji community, which made him feel the greatest satisfaction. Take the eyes in front of him for example. A few years ago, the big merchants in the Jingji community would not look at him at the right time, but now everyone gave up their means just to get an opportunity to cooperate with him. Especially this big merchant Wang Chongyi, who has heard about him since he was a child and has always respected him, but he did not expect that he can negotiate with him equally. This was the time when he insisted on cooperating with Huang Laifu, which was the rich result he has now.

When Huang Laifu recruited Qu Yuanrui to Beijing to deal with Huangzhuang Huangdian and various factories, the business community in the capital, which was everywhere, after hearing the news, they ran to Qu Yuanrui, hoping to get an opportunity to cooperate with Qu Yuanrui.

Joke, the Ming Dynasty's commercial affairs are fiercely contested, and almost all things that can be made and money are done by people. Huang Laifu and Qu Yuanrui's success in Wuzhaibao and other places is obvious to all. Their farms, iron ore, coal mines, cement factories, their wool mills, livestock farms and orchards bring a lot of wealth every year, which makes people envious. Huang Laifu's myth has made many old merchants who have been immersed in the mall for many years also sigh. Qu Yuanrui's rapid rise is also envious.

In the past, they had no chance to cooperate with Huang Laifu and others, so they could only stare at the side. Now that they have this opportunity, how can they not let everyone seize the opportunity? If Huang Laifu's wool mills, cement factories, etc. are opened in Jingji and other places, they will naturally have a lot of money, not to mention the glass factories, supermarkets, etc., which Huang Laifu has made a lot of noise. These new things must have great money, and Huang Laifu's strength is strong enough, and the eunuchs in the palace are heavily relied on, and with the support of the emperor, this money will definitely be made. There are also those imperial villages, which are as many as millions of acres in important places in Jingji and the land is much fertile than Wuzhaibao and others. With Huang Laifu's ability, these places will definitely be a money tree after they are operated in the future.

Huang Laifu, Qu Yuanrui and others have no connections in the important places of Jingji. They need to rely on many people to do this business, which inevitably gives others many opportunities. And for all Shanxi merchants, if they don’t seize such a good opportunity, they will not be the ones who have been in the mall for a long time.

Not only them, after Qu Yuanrui entered Beijing, the big merchants in the capital began to contact him immediately. Needless to say, the Jin merchants, such as Beijing merchants, Hui merchants, Guangdong merchants, Lake merchants, Fujian merchants, etc., also had contact with Qu Yuanrui. In order to get close to Qu Yuanrui, all the merchants were all kinds of tricks and all kinds of techniques. Of course, many of these merchants stood behind many of the figures of high-ranking officials and nobles, and then behind Qu Yuanrui was Huang Laifu. Naturally, they could not use strong men and could only negotiate politely.

In order to get the opportunity to cooperate with Qu Yuanrui, they all used their unique skills and did their best to do extravagant things when they were invited. Although the Ming merchants advocated frugality and started their own businesses and were despicable to employees, they competed for extravagance and praised wealth and beauty in consumption banquets. Today you have to eat 50 dishes, tomorrow he will eat 60 dishes, and the day after tomorrow he will eat 100 dishes. In short, they have to support the scene. Especially those Hui merchants, Guangdong rich and Shaanxi gangs who came to Beijing, their diet and many singing and dancing are shocking. Every time they are at the banquet, Qu Yuanrui feels overwhelmed. In the end, he wants to vomit when he sees fish and is afraid when he sees women.

Not to mention those big merchants, even those Yashiya who are middlemen came to the door. They were not qualified to directly look for Qu Yuanrui, so they looked for his followers, hoping to persuade Qu Yuanrui and give him a chance to meet. In short, it was a bustling situation.

Today, Wang Chongyi, the leader of Shanxi merchants in Beijing, personally consulted Qu Yuanrui to discuss cooperation with him.

At this time, Qu Yuanrui said: "Old Manager Wang, uncles, what kind of virtue can Qu Yuanrui be so kind? Can you be so kind? Yuanrui believes that he is not good at virtue, but since he is entrusted by Huang Junmen, he naturally has to bite the bullet and do what Junmen told him well. Junmen also said that all uncles and uncles are in the village, so there is naturally no problem with this cooperation. For example, cement factories, wool spinning factories, glass factories, farms and livestock farms, etc., you can all participate in the shares. However, each chain supermarket has its own rules and opinions. I hope that uncles and uncles who are interested in cooperation will strictly abide by it."

For Huang Lai Fu, he opened factories and stores in Gyeonggi and other places. The more people cooperate, the better. In fact, now, he is second to making money. It is the first important thing to be able to increase and strengthen his own interest groups. So for him, the more powerful partners, the better.

For supermarket chains, who came from later generations, he naturally had his own experiences. For example, super chain stores such as McDonald's and Carrefour in later generations, the secret to success is that they are open rather than closed. All resources and manpower are taken from the local area, not from the headquarters of a certain place. And their corporate culture can quickly turn new stores into something the same as the old ones and continue to expand.

Huang Laifu’s plan is to open a supermarket called “Fu Wanjia” and sample the chain store model of later generations, first blooming in the capital, finally blooming across the country, and even going overseas, opening chain companies all over the world.

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Huang Laifu will also adopt a franchise model. As long as he has 5,000 taels of silver, he can apply for franchise. After a series of inspections, the selected franchisees will provide them with a series of training and raise generous advertising funds for them to ensure that they are quickly integrated into this system. Of course, in order to ensure the quality of the franchise store, strict inspection and supervision of the headquarters are inevitable. Regular monthly assessments, headquarters inspections, irregular spot checks, etc. can also ensure that the franchise store meets the headquarters standards and ensures that the brand image is guaranteed.

After listening to Qu Yuanrui briefly explaining Huang Laifu's views and requirements for the future supermarket chain for a while, everyone present was shocked. Unexpectedly, the business could do this. This made them seem to see a brand new world. Even Wang Chongyi, who had been obsessed with the business world for many years, sighed that he was not as good as that. He secretly admired Huang Laifu, a martial artist who had such commercial talents.

Of course, the more new and standardized the system is, the better the future prospects will be. Five thousand taels of silver are not a problem for everyone present. It seems that they have seen the future wealth, and everyone is full of surprises and laughing at each other.

Wang Chongyi even stood up and said, "Nephew, we naturally follow what the military said. I believe that after the Fuwan Family is opened, its affordable goods and convenient purchase will definitely be welcomed by the people of the capital. Moreover, this chain store is huge in scale and requires a large number of people. It can also provide positions for many people to make plans. It is also a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

Speaking of this, he laughed, and everyone here laughed, and everyone was looking forward to the day when the supermarket opened.

Unlike the Sangong Imperial Village, Shanglinyuan animal farm, orchard, vegetable garden and other places that have been slowly launched, there are also the cement factory and wool mill that have been started in Wanping County, and the "Fuwanjia" supermarket, which have been built in Wanping County, which is still under vigorous planning. However, the land selection, recruitment, and contacting local dentists to discuss supply supply, various actions are unprecedentedly large, causing a stir in the entire Beijing city.

Not to mention ordinary citizens in the capital, all teahouses and restaurants are talking about this new thing that General Huang has created. Even many officials and literati in the city have turned their curious eyes to him. Although many literati officials have scolded Huang Laifu in private because of mining, they often attract new actions made by Huang Laifu.

In addition, because Huang Laifu's ultimate moves allies, he also heard that the partners behind the "Fuwanjia" supermarket include the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Eunuchs in the Sili Supervisor, and even the Emperor Wanli. As for the wealthy businessmen in the capital, there are countless. With such a hard backstage and such a beautiful money situation, why don't they attract the attention of those officials?

Although many officials criticized Huang Laifu for not doing serious business and competing for profit with the people, behind the scenes, they asked their family members and slaves to carry white silver on their shoulders, and found Qu Yuanrui openly and secretly, and only asked for an opportunity to cooperate, that is, Yang Junmin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and also heard that his clan brother had invested thousands of taels of silver in the "Fu Wanjia".

Of course, compared with officials and literati, the people in the capital always had a good impression of Huang Laifu. Not only did the Huang army party fight powerfully, but they also farmed well. Every time they became the protagonist of the storyteller, they also gave them a long and boring time. More importantly, after Huang Laifu arrived in the capital, he had a series of actions to manage the land of the imperial village and open various factories, which required a large number of people in the capital. Many people in the capital had the opportunity to support their families.

At present, Huang Laifu opened a "Fu Wanjia" supermarket in Beijing, which requires a large number of people. Many good young people in the capital have the opportunity to work and make money. Moreover, Huang Laifu implemented the principle of localization of enterprises, and many sources of goods must be provided locally. This has found a way to make money and supply for many big and small merchants. Directly, they also need a large number of people. Moreover, some places where the supply is supplied can create employment opportunities, forming a virtuous cycle.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty at this time, most of the merchants and businesses were exchange-oriented, Huang Laifu opened a shop and factory that created employment, which could provide a large number of opportunities to work and support his family. Such a business was benign. In ancient times, the business was just a purpose of circulation and exchange and could not add any jobs. When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, merchants even raised prices and were of no use to society. How could this not be discriminated against by rulers in an agricultural society?

No matter what, in the eyes of expectation or doubt, starting from late June and until September 5, after several months of planning and preparation, the "Fuwanjia" supermarket finally opened on that day.
