Chapter 819 North Island Chamber of Commerce
On the morning of July 5th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming called the remaining heroes and core managers of the Holy Land in Yicheng Territory to hold a Holy Land Development Planning Conference in the conference room on the second floor of the Lord's Lodge.
At the Holy Land Development Planning Conference, Qu Mao and Kong Ming explained the general development direction and core industries of the 15 islands in the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory, and indicated that the lord’s cottage of Yicheng Territory supports each island to introduce policies to attract and restrict population migration .
With the general direction and core industries given by the lord's hut, the heroes and managers attending the meeting also fully discussed the implementation strategies of their respective islands' development plans, and should have a clear understanding of the entire subsequent development direction.
At noon, in the tavern opposite the lord's hut in the Yicheng territory, Qu Mao hosted a banquet for the heroes and management personnel present at the meeting, and then urged all the heroes and management personnel to return to their respective islands to implement their respective development plans as soon as possible.
However, Qu Mao did not let Kong Ming return to the outlying islands. Instead, he and Kong Ming invited President Zheng Sanbao, Vice President Wen He, and Vice President Guo Shitai of the North Island Chamber of Commerce to the living room on the first floor of the lord's hut in the Yicheng territory.
Arranging tea for the maids in the lord's hut, Qu Mao smiled and said to the three heroes: "Zheng Sanbao, Wen He, Guo Shitai, I didn't expect Su Li to gather the three of you to form the North Island Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing the news of the establishment of the North Island Chamber of Commerce, Kong Ming and I were very excited and gratified. "
Beidao Chamber of Commerce Chairman Zheng Sanbao said embarrassedly: "My lord, it is not my subordinates who initiated this matter, but the two lords Su Li and Xinping.
I'm afraid the current development of the North Island Chamber of Commerce will disappoint you as an adult. At present, the North Island Chamber of Commerce is newly established and is still in a difficult stage of development.
It is also because Lord Suli and Lord Xinping found that supporting the grain of the main mainland involved too much energy of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, so they found three people including their subordinates to establish the North Island Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Beidao Chamber of Commerce only had 10 old-fashioned sea-going ships allocated by Mr. Suli from the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, and not a single new-type sea-going ship or merchant ship. This small number of ships could barely maintain the regular delivery of grain to the mainland. It is more difficult to develop.
My lord, neither you nor Kong Ming were in the Holy Land at that time, so the North Island Chamber of Commerce did not have any start-up funds when it was established.
Lord Xinping and Lord Suli only gave their subordinates a convenient condition: that is, they can purchase all goods in the Holy Land on credit, including grain, and transport them to Yancheng Port, Baigang, and Honggang on the main mainland. The proceeds from the shipment to the Holy Land for sale are given priority to repaying the purchase price.
After several times, the North Island Chamber of Commerce has been in operation for more than a month, and now it has accumulated less than 100 gold coins in working capital, which is not even enough to replenish an old sea ship. "
Qu Mao looked up at Kong Ming, Kong Ming asked helplessly: "Master Zheng, is the North Island Chamber of Commerce so difficult? How many gold coins can you profit by filling all 10 sea-going ships?"
Zheng Sanbao smiled wryly and said: "Master Kongming, the main continent and the holy land are our own territories, so we still focus on benefiting the people. If all 10 sea ships are filled in one trip, there will be a profit of about 10 gold coins for a round trip. There will be about 20 gold coins at one point."
Wen He said: "My lord, it's not that the Beidao Chamber of Commerce must be so hard. The main reason is that you, Mr. Kong Ming and Mr. Su Yan are not in the Holy Land, and even Mr. Su Qiaoer is not in the Holy Land. Mr. Suli and Mr. Xinping have insufficient authority, so Insufficient capital to start.”
During the establishment of the North Island Chamber of Commerce, Master Maffei Trani has been exploring new routes in person, which is why the North Island Chamber of Commerce is so embarrassing. "
Qu Mao nodded, opened his backpack and took a look, then traded with Zheng Sanbao, gave Zheng Sanbao 5,000 gold coins, and said: "Zheng Sanbao, Wenhe, Guo Shitai, these 5,000 gold coins are the starting point for me to supply the Beidao Chamber of Commerce. funds.
At present, our territory of Yicheng only has the territory of Tassel Principality and six Marquis States on the main mainland. The territory is not too large, and there are only three ports available for trading. I am afraid that there will not be too many ships for you.
On July 11, I will purchase 10 new sea ships and 10 merchant ships for the North Island Chamber of Commerce. Counting your previous 10 old sea ships, your North Island Chamber of Commerce will first use 30 ships to operate.
After these ships are purchased, they will all be used as the assets of the North Island Chamber of Commerce. After all, we don’t have many territories on the main mainland, so there is no need to invest too many ships in the early stage. "
Zheng Sanbao was overjoyed and said: "My lord, with the start-up capital of 5,000 gold coins and the 20 new ships you promised, my lord, I believe that the Beidao Chamber of Commerce at this stage will inevitably usher in a qualitative leap.
Please rest assured, my subordinates will work hard to manage the North Island Chamber of Commerce. "
Qu Mao continued: "Three presidents, please be clear: the North Island Chamber of Commerce was first established to share the pressure of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, and the road trade on the main mainland is also in charge of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, so the North Island Chamber of Commerce also needs to consider relocating After the on-road trade on the main continent, you should consider establishing even land-based trade in the Holy Land.
Secondly, Shang Island does not have an underground passage to connect to other islands in the Holy Land, so you can consider using the Yi Island civilian dock as your commercial port. I mean the civilian dock outside the small village of Mingang.
Again, without sailing heroes and logistics heroes, it will be difficult for the three of you alone. Later, the three of you will go to Nandi Chamber of Commerce to choose a hero, and then ask Master Kong Ming to help you choose four heroes from the current heroes who are not particularly saturated. In conclusion, gather 5 heroes to join Beigang Chamber of Commerce. "
Zheng Sanbao, Wen He, and Guo Shitai were incoherent in excitement, and stood up one after another.
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "Chairman Zheng, the headquarters of the North Island Chamber of Commerce is in the Shangdao Mall, right? Later, after I select the heroes, I will let them go directly to the mall to report to you.
As for the selection of a nautical hero from the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, you should be kind and invite, and fully solicit the opinions of the hero and the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, and you cannot force it. "
Zheng Sanbao bowed his hands and said: "Yes, Lord Kong Ming, please rest assured, Lord Kong Ming.
My lord is also providing start-up financial support, ship support, and even the preparation of heroes for us. The subordinates are grateful, so naturally they will not do anything foolish. "
After Qu Mao arranged the affairs of the Beigang Chamber of Commerce, he once again urged to compete fairly with the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, and asked the three presidents of the Beigang Chamber of Commerce to go back to work.
Kong Ming also bid farewell to Qu Mao. He couldn't wait to return to the Outlying Island Hydrodynamic Research Institute, but Qu Mao didn't stop Kong Ming from going back.
