876. Chapter 876 Zhoushan Merchants Association 1
Chapter 876 Zhoushan Investment Promotion Conference (1)
For businessmen, it does not matter who is in charge of the operation of the market. What is important is that they can get reasonable returns. In the past, not everyone was happy to accept the trade share allocation system established by the Zhoushan Ship Gang, and the local people wanted to replace it.
There are a lot of people there. But on the one hand, the Zhoushan Boat Gang has a deep background and a hard foundation that ordinary people can't pry. On the other hand, this method of profit distribution has been solidified and affects the whole body. No one has the ability to take all of it.
eradicate it, and have enough prestige to preside over the formulation of a new profit distribution model.
The arrival of the Haihan people was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking the previous balance. Whether in terms of force value or commercial ability, Haihan was far above the civil forces of Zhoushan Islands, and had rich experience accumulated in Fuguang.
Experience and successful operation cases, as well as long-term excellent business reputation. Haihan taking the lead in rebuilding the maritime trade system in this region is undoubtedly the most convincing to those who want to change the status quo.
Powerful.
Although these people came to ask for Qu Yutong's advice, they had actually communicated with each other and agreed on their views before coming. For Wenbo and others, the Haihan people are now planning to re-formulate the market rules. If they don't seize this opportunity to enter a new era,
When? If you don't attend this investment fair and wait for others to divide it up and divide all the franchise rights of Haihan products, then you won't even be qualified to drink soup in the future.
Qu Yutong listened to everyone's comments, but still said calmly: "Then do you know what the franchise that Haihan people are going to release this time includes?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. They only got the invitation now. As for the content of the investment conference, they had not received relevant information before.
Qu Yutong twirled his beard proudly and sighed: "If you just go and ask questions without knowing anything, you can only be a spectator. Go back and find He Xiao, he has what you need."
Wenbo was delighted when he heard this: "If we can grasp the information, great things can be accomplished!"
The invitation sent by Haihan made it very clear that this investment fair will release franchise rights for more than 90 products, and this franchise has to be paid real money to get. Even those with strong financial resources
It is impossible for merchants to collect all the franchise rights of so many products, so they must make targeted choices. For example, if you want to get started quickly, you can choose to operate in a field that you are more familiar with, or you can consider profits.
Just select products with higher profits, or choose products that may not have too many competitors and are easier to obtain franchises. Develop a relatively stable strategy before the investment meeting and prepare in advance for the projects you want to win.
Undoubtedly, it can greatly increase the probability of success.
Qu Yutong warned: "You need to be careful about this matter and remember not to spread it outside!"
Wenbo and others quickly bowed and responded: "Don't worry, sir, we will keep it in mind."
Since the Haihan people have not disclosed this part of the information, it means that they are preparing to take care of some influential local households like Qu Yutong at the investment promotion meeting. If this kind of information leaks out,
, The impact on the Haihan people is not much, but the competitive advantage on our side is completely gone. These people here are prepared to spend money on it, so naturally they will not easily leak out the unique information they have.
The competitive pressure faced by Wenbo and others was not limited to Ningbo Prefecture. Within two days after they negotiated the matter with Qu Yutong, businessmen from other Zhejiang prefectures began to pour into Ningbo City. Among them, Taizhou Prefecture,
There are especially many businessmen from Shaoxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, and Jiaxing Prefecture. Although there are not so many invitations from Haihan people, after the relevant news spreads, businessmen from other prefectures will naturally not miss it in vain.
This opportunity to hug my thighs.
Although they did not receive an invitation, the Haihan people’s invitation did not mention that they would still need a certificate to get to the island. This means that even if they did not receive an invitation, they would still have the opportunity to go to the island to participate in the investment fair.
As time went by, businessmen who came to Ningbo, in addition to several neighboring state capitals, also began to come to Ningbo for meetings from further away places such as Wenzhou Prefecture, Jinhua Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture and so on.
.Few of these people directly received Haihan's invitation, they all came to join in the fun after hearing the news. Those who are interested in going to Zhoushan Island to participate in the investment fair are all wealthy people with some background, and they are all a group of people traveling far away.
People were waiting for him all the way, and when he arrived in Ningbo, he had to stay in a hotel and eat. For a time, all the hotels and restaurants in Ningbo were overcrowded.
Of course, the reason why so many people came after receiving the news was not only because the cake Haihan released was tempting, but also because the means of publicity were equally important. Haihan did not have so much manpower to send invitations to various places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
At the same time, we don’t know much about who in each place is worthy of invitation, so spreading invitations widely is not an efficient solution.
If we just rely on the speed of news dissemination in this era, it may take ten days and a half or even longer to spread the news hundreds of miles away. But while delivering the invitation in Ningbo, arrange
Some people spread some processed news in other areas to attract interested people to Ningbo and Zhoushan to participate in the investment fair. It is not difficult to implement this.
It has been rare in the past few years for so many businessmen to gather in one place. Many businessmen who are determined to gain something at the investment fair not only lamented that Haihan's attraction is too strong, but so many people have come.
People will undoubtedly intensify the competition for exclusive rights at the investment fair. Some businessmen originally came to Ningbo with a half-trusted mentality to try their luck, but they found that the news they received before was not fake, but true.
Seeing a real opportunity to make money, these people immediately changed their original wait-and-see attitude and asked around how they could go to Zhoushan Island to participate in the Haihan Investment Promotion Fair.
Although there are still some people in the government who do not welcome the arrival of Haihan people, if they want to stand up and announce some measures that are unfavorable to Haihan, too many people will be offended. Although these businessmen cannot directly interfere in politics, they have a network of contacts
There are also many Ming officials like Qu Yutong, the prefect of Ningbo, who are waiting to take advantage of the opportunities created by the Haihan people. Among the businessmen who will go to Zhoushan Island to attend the meeting at the end of the month, a considerable proportion of them are actually representing official figures.
Wu Huanzhi is one of the businessmen who came to Ningbo from other places to join in the fun. He is from Taicang, Suzhou, and his family runs a silk business. He sells thousands of pieces of silk every year. However, Wu Huanzhi does not have good sales in the export trade.
Channels have always been wholesale to maritime merchants, who then resell them overseas. Most of the time, this part of the transaction is conducted in the Zhoushan Islands. Compared with the benefits from resale overseas, Wu Huanzhi gains from this part of the trade.
The profits obtained were not huge, so he had been considering finding more direct sales channels to sell the silk on hand overseas.
Wu Huanzhi heard the news a few days ago that the Haihan people from the south arrived in Zhoushan and drove away the Zhoushan boat gang that originally occupied the local area. All the past folk rules on maritime trade were invalidated, and the Haihan people had to formulate a new set of operating rules, and
A large-scale trading port will be built on Zhoushan Island to attract merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Those who want to participate in this plan can go to Zhoushan Island for field inspections at the end of the month and negotiate terms with the Haihan people face to face.
Wu Huanzhi was moved after hearing the news. He didn't know much about the distribution of power in the Zhoushan Islands, but the arrival of the Haihan people was an opportunity he thought he couldn't miss. Although the silk he sold overseas every year changed hands,
He still knew the general destination. Some of them were sold across the East China Sea to North Korea, Japan and Ryukyu, while the other part was transported south and sold to Haihan and some businessmen from Western countries at Sanya Port in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Wu Huanzhi wanted to do
The purpose is to snatch this part of the profits from the middlemen and take it back into your own hands. To achieve this goal, the best way is to meet with the Haihan people to discuss specific conditions.
Wu Huanzhi believes that he has a huge competitive advantage in terms of price. No matter how much the middleman lowers the price, it is impossible for him as a manufacturer to lower the price. If the Haihan people really want to settle in Zhejiang, then Wu Huanzhi will try to sell his products directly to
They. So he came to Ningbo without hesitation. He even heard about the fact that Haihan people sent invitations to the business fair after arriving in Ningbo.
The thing that bothers Wu Huanzhi now is how to go to Zhoushan Island to participate in the Haihan people's investment fair without receiving an invitation. Almost all the people he knows in Ningbo are fellow travelers, but it is inconvenient to go to them for this matter.
After discussing it, from the perspective of a businessman, Wu Huanzhi wished he could attend this investment fair as a silk merchant. Two days after arriving in Ningbo, Wu Huanzhi had not found any useful information, even though there were still more than ten meetings until the end of the month.
It was a day, but Wu Huanzhi was already starting to feel a little anxious.
While eating in the hotel that day, Wu Huanzhi finally heard someone at the back table talking about Zhoushan. He had been worried about this matter for the past few days, and when he heard the word "Zhoushan", he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Then I heard one of them say: "The Haihan people are said to have traveled a long way from Fuguang. Even if they have the upper hand for a while, how can they withstand the counterattack of those in Zhoushan? I heard that the life and death of Wang Jialin, the leader of the Zhoushan Boat Gang, is unknown. If he gathers another group of people,
So what if we help others kill them and drive them away from the Haihan people? Let’s go to Zhoushan Island at the end of the month to watch the fun, and don’t let anyone take it as a sign of goodwill towards the Haihan people.”
Another person with a slightly thicker voice responded: "Brother, why should you worry? You just came to Ningbo and don't know anything. The Haihan people have been in Zhejiang for nearly a month. They first destroyed Liuheng Island and destroyed the Haisha Gang.
They just went north and attacked one island after another, all the way to Zhoushan. If Wang Jialin had the ability to make a comeback, how could he sit back and watch them encroach on his own territory?"
The person who spoke earlier said: "It seems that Brother Huang knows a lot of inside information. How strong are the Haihan people and how dare they boast about such a large Haikou? Can Brother Huang tell us?"
The man known as Brother Huang responded: "I dare not tell you the inside story, but when the Haihan people entered Ningbo, their first stop was Shipu Port. I happened to be working in Shipu at that time, so I saw the sea.
The true face of the Han militia. You just said that the Haihan people came after a long journey. This is true, but they are not passers-by. The fleet coming to Zhejiang this time includes hundreds of large warships and tens of thousands of soldiers.
, just like an army conquest, how can Zhoushan's gangs stop them? Let alone the Zhoushan Boat Gang, you see the Haihan people occupied Zhoushan Island with open swords and guns, did the garrison troops in Changguowei and Guanhaiwei say a word?"
Others responded: "The garrison has been standing still and turned a blind eye to the actions of the Haihan people. This is indeed strange."
"Don't dare to move!" Brother Huang sighed: "The Haihan militia is famous for being good at fighting. In Fujian, they fought so hard that Shibazhi even abandoned their old nest. It is said that they also conquered many places in Nanyang, which made them
Both the Folangji and the red-haired men retreated. The Ming army in Ningbo Prefecture can't even afford to offend the people in Zhoushan, so how can they dare to offend this great god?"
"In Brother Huang's opinion, if the Haihan people seize this territory, they won't let it go in the short term?"
"Not only will he not let go..." Brother Huang deliberately lowered his tone, but Wu Huanzhi, who was sitting next to him, could still hear clearly: "I just went to Zhoushan Dinghai Port the day before yesterday. There is a lot of construction work going on there. It is said that it is going to
Build a new port, and from now on the eastern maritime gateway of the Ming Dynasty will be in Zhoushan."
Some people wondered: "It seems a little inappropriate for the Ming Dynasty's maritime portal to be controlled by the Haihan people, right?"
Brother Huang sneered and said: "In the past, it was enough to be controlled by people like Wang Jialin? The Zhoushan Shipping Gang is said to be a joint venture of shipping companies, but Wang Jialin has many Japanese pirates under him, and merchant ships passing by have to pay tolls to them, and
Where are the good people? Although the Haihan people are domineering, I have never heard that the place they control will charge fees for passing ships. In my opinion, it would be good to change the owner of this place. When the investment meeting is held, our brothers will also
I went to the island to take a look, and I heard that as long as I can win a franchise, the money will just grow legs and run into my pocket."
"But we don't even have the invitations sent by the Haihan people!" someone said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. I asked specifically in Zhoushan the day before yesterday that anyone who is sincerely willing to cooperate with the Haihan people can go to Dinghaiport on Zhoushan Island to participate in this investment conference. Those who received the invitation are only the big ones that the Haihan people are optimistic about.
, send a post to show respect. It is said that a total of forty-eight invitations were sent, and you and I are not enough!"
"Since you can go without an invitation, it's easy to say that we can go to the island together to see..."
Wu Huanzhi didn't pay much attention to what those people said later. He only knew that the problem he was worried about had been solved, and now it was time to think carefully about how to negotiate terms with the other party.
Chapter completed!
