Chapter 337 (1/2)
Mr. Gu was called by the Emperor himself in the early morning, and his face turned red with excitement.
When the emperor asked about political affairs, Mr. Gu stood in the middle of the hall and talked.
At the beginning, the emperor was very interested and listened carefully. The more you listen, the worse you look and the more disappointed you are.
Is it that Mr. Gu is not good at politics?
So the emperor asked the Ministry of finance, how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Mr. Gu seldom has the opportunity to show himself in front of the emperor, and he would like to pour out all the ink in his stomach.
However, his views are all the same old tunes, and the emperor has long heard his ears become cocooned.
The emperor was disappointed.
Gu Jiuming is so smart and has so many ideas to make money. Why is Mr. Gu so stupid.
Chen Dachang waited on the side, bowed his head and raised his mouth slightly. He knew that the son of heaven would be disappointed.
The emperor waved, ”Gu Aiqing, step back!”
In a word, he returned to his original form.
Mr. Gu is a little confused. He is talking about the climax. Why should he be asked to step down.
The emperor asked him to step down. He could only step back and return to the team.
Mr. Gu is worried about his gains and losses. He doesn't speak well? Bad performance?
What he said was often mentioned by the Ministry of housing.
Seeing that the son of heaven lost interest in him and would not have the thought of promoting him, Mr. Gu was dejected and depressed.
In the main hall, only the Shaofu family order, Shaofu prison Cheng knows the truth.
They sympathized with Mr. Gu, and Gu Jiu won the opportunity for him. What a pity!
It seems that Gu Jiu's intelligence is inherited from his mother, not from his father, Mr. Gu.
It's said that Gu Jiu's mother's surname is Su, and he has been scholarly for generations, but now he is down and out.
When I go back, I'll ask about the Su family.
……
On the Bank of the Weihe River, businessmen from all over the country just got off the boat and saw something new. The name is: poster!
On the beautiful poster, the following words are written in exaggerated words:
do you want to get rich quickly? Want to get to the top of life? Do you want money to flow like water? Please come to Yuhua lane, where you can realize your dream.
Exaggerated words, together with exquisite houses, ports, piled up like mountains of goods, at first glance caught the eyes of many businesses.
What a novelty!
Exaggeration doesn't matter. Elegance is not the main thing. Novelty is the most important thing.
Novelty arouses curiosity.
At the same time, a clerk yelled at the Bank of the Weishui River, ”the goods are shipped directly into the capital, and the city gate tax is paid. The goods are unloaded at the yuhuaxiang wharf. The price is reasonable. Ten times a day back and forth, hands fast, hands slow, come on
Merchants from all over the country were attracted by the city gate tax.
One after another, they gathered around the fellows, ”do you really pay the city gate tax? How do you collect the money? ”
”Where is the Yuhua Lane wharf?”
”How long can a ship of goods enter Beijing?”
”Is it reliable?”
All kinds of questions were thrown at the man.
The man simply stood on the cabinet and looked down at the merchants. ”First, I'm a fellow of Sihai commercial company. We're engaged in all kinds of businesses. Including the cargo shipping from Weishui River to Neicheng river. Remember, this section of shipping is exclusively operated by Sihai commercial bank in Beijing. Those who don't have the sign of Sihai commercial bank and say that they can help you transport goods into the capital and pay taxes on behalf of them are all liars.
Secondly, the reason why we can help you to pay taxes is that we have a strong background in Sihai business, and we rely on the government. Shaofu is the private treasury of the emperor. Who can be bigger than Shaofu?
Our Sihai commercial company has the order of the Shaofu. The city gate officials will not be in a dilemma. As long as your goods are not prohibited, they will be able to pass the customs smoothly.
On the same day, the goods can be unloaded on the Bank of Weishui River, and the goods can arrive at yuhuaxiang wharf. Compared with the past, it took three or four days to deliver the goods to the capital, and we also had to hire a car company, please help me, and do some human relations. Our Sihai commercial bank charges a fair fee. Not only will it save you time, but you can also save a lot of human resources.
Anyone who needs it, please register with me, and I will arrange shipping for you now. You don't worry. You can follow the ship by yourself to see if our four seas business can help you to clear customs in one day. It's guaranteed that the goods will arrive in Beijing before dark. ”
After shouting, some people hesitated, some watched, some watched jokes, and of course, others actively tried.
”I'd like to order five ships, all of which are silk cloth. Can we go through customs today?” A young childe, holding a folding fan, was more like a gentleman than a businessman.
The man was overjoyed. He thought that he would run out. He didn't expect that someone would book the boat.
”This boss has a good eye. Please register here. Five ships, isn't it? We're going to send someone on board to inspect the goods and make sure there's no violation. ”
”No problem, just check the goods.”
Young childe is very straightforward, with the steward around him to deal with the hands of the four seas business.”Why do you want to book a boat? We have a long-term cooperation of the car and horse shop, send someone to inform us, they will send a car to help us to transport the goods to the capital
”Don't you think it's very interesting?” Zhou said with great interest? Although this newly emerged Sihai business firm is not clear about its specific origin and whether it is true that the man said that he was backed by the Shao Fu, since he dared to promise to pass customs on the same day and enter Beijing on the same day, I think I should try it.
If Sihai commercial company has such great ability, do you know what it means? It means the birth of a new business model. What will happen if we go back to the South and copy this model directly to the sea terminal tomorrow? ”
As soon as the steward's face changed, ”if you can copy it, you will be in charge of the whole wharf. All the goods in and out of the way can't escape childe's eye. ”
Zhou Jin laughed, ”you can teach me. You go with the boat and remember every step of their operation. I took a carriage and went to the Yuhua Lane on the poster first. This Yuhua Lane wharf must be near Yuhua lane. We'll meet in Yuhua lane. ”
”Young master, how can you make yourself enter Beijing alone. You can't be dangerous with your body. ”
”It doesn't matter. If there are old Zheng and them, nothing will happen.”
Zhou Jin got on the carriage and went slowly towards the gate of the city.
In the past, merchants from all over the country transported their goods to the Weishui river outside the capital. They asked for help and the car company to transport the goods to the capital only in two or three days and ten and a half days in a long time.
When passing through the city gate, they need to check in advance and pay a city gate tax to make sure that the goods are not prohibited before they can be sold in Beijing.
During this period, the test is the relationship between merchants and their ability to manage affairs.
For example, for the first time in the capital, businessmen usually look for their fellow countrymen, mainly to deal with various kinds of IMPs.
As the saying goes, hell is easy to see, but little ones are hard to deal with.
The first level is the wharf imp, the second level is the city gate imp, and when we get to the capital, there are still the third and fourth hurdles waiting for us.
In short, it is not so easy to make business in Beijing.
The appearance of the four seas commercial banks directly saves the first and second barriers for the merchants, which is of great convenience to the merchants.
Save time, save money, and don't worry about it. In fact, the merchants are happy to see its success.
At present, we are still waiting and waiting, just because we are not sure whether all this is true or not.
When the first crab eater comes back with positive news, there is no doubt that Sihai's office on the Bank of the Weishui river will be crushed by merchants from all over the country.
After paying the tax of entering the city, Zhou Jin successfully entered the ancient city of thousand years, the capital city of Zhou Dynasty.
There is no doubt that the capital is very prosperous.
Zhou Jin simply got out of the carriage and walked around.
He is the first time to come to Beijing, and he is very curious about everything in the capital.
He was drinking tea in the teahouse and asked the waiter, ”how can I get to Yuhua lane?”
The second immediately asked excitedly, ”is it also for buying the house in Yuhua lane? Hurry to line up to get the number plate. I heard it will open in a few days. ”
Zhou Jin looks confused. He boasts that he has seen a lot. He has been to the sea, to the grassland, to the desert. He can understand the number plate in the mouth of Xiaoer, and he can understand what the opening is.
He tried to ask, ”is Yuhua Lane famous?”
The second one laughed, ”is the young master just coming from other places? No wonder I don't know Yuhua lane. Do you know the princess Huyang and the Li family? It's the Li family of Li Defei.
Last month, Princess Huyang fought against the Li family, smashed the shop floor of the Li family, and beat Li Dalang to be a semi disabled person. Do you know why? It's for Yuhua lane.
Now no one in the capital knows about Yuhua lane. When I heard that Yuhua lane was going to open, even my shopkeeper didn't have a few money in his pocket, so he went to join the fun and got a number plate back
Zhou Jin was in a state of disbelief. ”Is it for a rainy lane that Princess Tangtang is fighting for
