Chapter 297
Ports charge money every day when they call at the wharf. The prices of large and small ships are different.
Finding someone to pull goods is another cost. The wharf is so big that it is impossible for you to dock indefinitely. What good things can you think of.
This docking is also a fee, and the warehouse near the dock also charges money, and money is everywhere.
There are too many articles that can be done here.
His Royal Highness handed over this matter to Gu Lei, and gave Gu and Li two large warehouses at the two docks, as well as the right to use the berth.
Give him some benefits and rights, let him be the master, dry up this pier, can increase shipping, and bring a large amount of income to His Highness every year. This money is used for the people and military supplies, which is very important.
Li Yu is here today to help Gu Lei, how to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and use the least money to do the biggest things.
Be more flexible in your mind, learn and use it flexibly.
The Du family made a connection to attract people from other chambers of commerce to come and settle down in the newly built town together to seek new development.
Businessmen have plenty of money, as long as it is profitable, they are willing to pay.
Li Yu handed over what he had written to Gu Lei.
"I can't explain a sentence or two. I wrote something and put it together. Look, the money from His Highness alone is far from enough for construction, and the remaining gap has to be made up by merchants. Pay attention to how to fill it up. A win-win situation is yours." Questions to think about."
"Form a chamber of commerce."
Gu Lei read what his wife wrote, and his eyes lit up. It was more perfect and reasonable than his own idea, and the benefits were long-term and huge.
Those who do practical things are more experienced, and the daughter-in-law's brain is really easy to use.
"Great, I understand after you reminded me. I thought about letting merchants participate individually, but it is not as powerful as the chamber of commerce."
The chamber of commerce is powerful with a large number of people and has a great voice. The chamber of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang represents a generation of businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The same is true for the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, with many people gathered.
With the chamber of commerce taking the lead, there is no need for Gu Lei to go door-to-door to persuade, which saves a lot of trouble. If one chamber of commerce is willing to participate, the other chambers of commerce will follow immediately. Interests come first, and no one is stupid.
Gu Lei mainly studied court affairs, and he was less experienced in doing business. Li Yu was not as good as Li Yu, who was in charge of common affairs since he was a child, managed the industry and learned to do business, and has more experience.
"To put it simply, hang it with the meat at the front. His Highness gave you this pier town. If you don't let other people participate, you have full power to make decisions. You have to use all your skills to make this town prosperous."
"I understand. I will go back to discuss with you at night. This miasma is very dirty. You should go back and rest first."
Gu Lei couldn't bear his daughter-in-law to be exposed to the wind and sun, so he asked her to go home first.
"You guys do a good job and share the mung bean soup and sour plum soup with everyone."
"Sister-in-law, please go back, we are here to do it, you can rest assured."
Everyone nodded.
"Then I'll go back, don't start a dispute, discuss things together."
"knew."
Li Yu explained to his younger siblings, and then rode back home.
In the evening at sunset, Gu Lei came back covered in dust. He washed first, and then sat down to catch his breath.
The old man was not stingy, and took the initiative to give him advice.
"Yu'er's suggestion is more complete and has a longer-term perspective. She has more experience in economic affairs than you. If the merchants want to pay for it obediently, they will have enough interests to hang them. The chamber of commerce is a good idea, and it is easy to control these merchants. "
"Yes, I also thought about it again and again today. It is a good idea for the chamber of commerce to take the lead in entering towns and docks. Relying on a certain merchant alone will indeed cause problems in the future."
Gu Lei is also constantly summing up experience in his work, the more he works, the better.
"If this town does a good job, the Gu family will be able to secure a position in front of His Highness, and in the future, the clan relatives will be able to seek other good opportunities."
Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded.
"The most important thing is that in terms of shipping, it will be no problem for the Gu family to have this pier to benefit future generations. With the money, we can invest in martial arts schools and give children more training and opportunities. The long-term road is for children to be outstanding. , making money is just a means of making a living.”
Li Yu was taught by the old man. He has an excellent vision and perspective on the overall situation. He has participated in the affairs of the court and family for many years, and the advice he gave is also sharp.
"You are right. If you want to eat the best meat, you must have enough skills. You have to be strong when you forge the iron, otherwise it will be snatched away by others."
Gu Lei nodded, building this town is very important to him and the Gu family. It shows the level of talent of him and the Gu family, so that His Highness can decide whether to give you good meat or give you leftovers.
The three of them discussed the issue of towns and cities repeatedly, and they all had a good sense of proportion. They had to think clearly about how to divide the interests. Soon the clan and His Highness's sons would come to ask for benefits. What should he do to balance the various interests? party relationship.
"I have a suggestion, give my sixth sister-in-law's natal family some benefits and support, the Sun family's energy is not small, what is lacking is generals, not connections."
Unite relatives and relatives, unite all contacts and resources to the greatest extent, play the greatest role, benefit from each other, create a win-win situation, and gain a firm foothold.
"I have already contacted the Sun family, and the dock will give him a copy. Your Highness agrees and is very satisfied with my opinion."
Gu Lei had thought of this a long time ago, and he passed Minglu ahead of time to say hello.
"That's good, you can talk about the Xie family and the Yang family, as well as the Wang family."
"Don't worry, I have already greeted several companies in advance. In a few days, I will make an appointment to meet with each other, have a glass of wine, and clarify the follow-up in person."
Gu Lei’s ability is very strong, so he will say hello to all allies who can be contacted in advance. After discussing, the next step is to subdivide the interests and cooperation rights.
"You think it through, you don't need my help, I'm busy with other things."
Li Yu saw that it was just a few details that were not detailed enough, but everything else was fine and not bad.
"Thanks to you reminding me about the chamber of commerce. I will settle the matter of the chamber of commerce first, and then negotiate with the powerful. The initiative must be in my own hands."
Gu Lei's heart is completely stable, and the follow-up development is clearer and clearer.
"Okay. The road in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very helpful for our embroidery workshop. You can talk about a little bit more benefits, so that the workshop can make more money in the future."
"I see, I plan to get some Yanyin. The eldest son and the second son promised to give me Yanyin. Our family has no shortage of manpower to carry out darts, which is just right."
"Let's search for big boats together. If you want to play, you can play big ones. Small fights, three walnuts and two dates, people don't necessarily value you. If you have to lose your money, it is like cutting him a big piece of meat. It hurts so much that he can value it more. You, I can't live without you."
Li Yu said this.
Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded, "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, that's all."
"Yes, I see, the shipbuilding thing..."
"Our family can do it by ourselves, and the carpentry workshop can do it. This is not something that can be done by a single family. At least two big boats can be searched. The two of us, the prince, and the Xie family of the Wang family can also do it together. Go overseas, and our family can do it in a year. Turn over."
The profit of shipping is too high, so we have to pay attention to it. Only with money can Miss Gu Jiaerlang get more resources, soak in medicinal soup for tonic, study and get married without money.
