No one would have thought that an ordinary letter from home recorded the amazing development of Puhui Company. Now Puhui Company's business system has been quite perfect. Even if Ye An is not in Tokyo, the head office can still do very well.
Handle problems encountered in daily operations.
This is determined by the management model of Puhui Firms. There are thousands of firms in the Song Dynasty, but none of them can achieve the independent management and independent selection of investment projects like Puhui Firms.
Not to mention in daily management, the mature and scientific management system is unmatched by other companies in Song Dynasty. What situations are encountered, how to deal with them, and the results of the treatments must be recorded in detail and reported.
Go to the main office.
In this way, the main office can grasp the operating conditions of the stores in each branch. At the same time, the main office will send people to each branch for training. This is not basic training. After all, the shopkeepers recruited by the company are all leaders in the industry. There has never been any
A business is like a Puhui business, the owner respects the shopkeeper very much.
The shopkeeper is the professional manager of later generations, but this is Ye An's understanding. In this era, the shopkeeper is more of a subordinate operator. The owner has absolute control over the store, and the shopkeeper is only a facilitator at best.
, especially in the eyes of wealthy families, the shopkeeper is just like the manager of the family, but has a higher status than a slave.
Which store in Tokyo has a famous brand that is not backed by a wealthy family?
But Puhui Store is different. Ye An has long stipulated that no clerk or shopkeeper in the store is allowed to sign a personal contract. Although there are distinctions between superiors and inferiors, it is fundamentally guaranteed that these people are free and equal.
Only when you give others respect can they help you make money!
Compared with later generations, Ye An found that professional managers in this era actually paid more attention to technological progress and research and development. The shopkeepers of Puhui Company were even more concerned about the development of Gwu, because as long as the Gwu Academy outside Tokyo developed a new
Utensils can definitely be used in factory production, either to improve efficiency or to bring new goods to stores.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces. This is not only a wise saying in later generations, but also true in any era.
To some extent, the development of Puhui Company has escaped the control of Ye An and Qin Mumu. This behemoth has begun to operate independently, and continues to closely connect more people, industries, wealth, and interests.
Although its scale is limited to both inside and outside Tokyo, as long as Ye An lifts the restrictions on it, this business will definitely become a wild horse and gallop out.
Becoming the largest business house in the land of the Song Dynasty will eventually become an ever-expanding capital. It will build factories in various places, open branches in various places, absorb the local labor force, and start selling high-quality and low-priced goods. This will form
A virtuous cycle.
The goods produced in each place must be different, so that you can make money through trade. Similarly, when people have money in their pockets, local consumption will also increase.
This is what the Puhui Business Shop Shopkeepers Conference is trying to promote. For them, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so why not do it?
But they never thought that when that day comes, Puhui Company will no longer be Puhui Company. It has replaced many government functions and become an integral part of the people.
When the time comes, Puhui Company will either become part of the imperial court, or it will become the target of destruction by the imperial court. It would be beyond the control of such a huge behemoth, even Ye An would find it difficult.
He cannot even guarantee control over the county-level subcolons under the state capital. This is just like the imperial court of the Song Dynasty. By then, the corruption and oppression that has arisen in the local area may become the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Right now, what Ye An and Qin Mumu want to do is to try their best to control the expansion of the company. Gewu Academy must be separated from Puhui Company. Only in this way can Ye An limit the development of Puhui Company.
This is the consensus reached by Ye An and Qin Mumu. The two discovered the problem of the company very early, and Qin Mumu even left secret messages in the letters after Ye An went south.
Now Ye An is short of major generals, and the only one he can use is Liu Zhao of the Baojing Army. After the commanders of other armies arrived, they were almost unanimous in crying for poverty.
The Jianghuai Jingluezhi Yamen is just a temporary yamen in Tongzhou, but even so, it is not accessible to ordinary people. The Jingluezhi is a military officer at the local level, otherwise he would not be called a commander.
Ye An's commander has been very busy these days. Commanders of the Jiezhen Army from various states have arrived in Tongzhou one after another. In fact, the powers of the economic envoy and the pacification envoy are similar, and there is even some overlap in administrative power.
Zhao Zhen issued an order to promote Ye An to the position of Economic and Strategic Envoy, largely to give Ye An a big enough reputation. After all, it was about wiping out the bandits in the Bailian Society. He also knew the level of the Xiang army, so he still had to give it to himself.
This gentleman takes care of you.
However, this kind of care was taken advantage of by Zhang Shixun. In his opinion, when Ye An and Fan Zhongyan have overlapping powers, conflicts will inevitably occur...
But in fact, there was no conflict between Ye An and Fan Zhongyan, because they had different divisions of labor from the beginning. Lao Fan was mainly responsible for government affairs, while Ye An, apart from providing help, never thought about fighting for power and profit.
Now that he is in charge of military affairs, his authority with Lao Fan is even clearer. Ye An never has those messy thoughts, especially towards Lao Fan, who cannot fight for power and gain.
Zhang Shixun judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. He suppressed the younger generation and was afraid of Song Shou's talent, so he thought that Lao Fan would do the same. In fact, it was just the opposite. The two of them had a close relationship that they had known for years.
There are still some calculations in the court. Zhang Shixun seems to be a decent person, but he never spares no effort to suppress the younger generations. The reason is simple, because his ability is really not outstanding.
Whether it was lecturing for Zhao Zhen or handling political affairs, he could only be regarded as quite satisfactory, without any outstanding or admirable actions. At best, he was mature and prudent, and at worst, he was lackluster.
As a result, he became extremely harsh and unkind to young and capable officials, so as not to appear to be a vegetarian.
But in fact, none of the officials in the court knew about him. Almost everyone knew that his existence was only to make the court more stable when the officials were in charge. After a year, Zhang Shixun would be gone without him.
The really smart thing to do at this time is not to offend those young people who are up and coming. On the contrary, you should know how to restrain yourself and retreat bravely.
Ye An didn't pay attention to Zhang Shixun's retaliation. The Xiang army was also an army and could still be of great use as long as it was properly trained.
The arrival of the commanders of the Fuxiang Army from various prefectures along the Jianghuai Road is also part of Ye An's plan. The purpose of calling them here is not to send troops to annihilate the local Bailian Society, but to reduce their number of troops.
Reducing the number of soldiers in the Xiang Army is equivalent to reducing the military pay of the Xiang Army. After all, the military pay issued by the court every year is based on the number of soldiers in each army. The smaller the number of soldiers, the smaller the military pay will naturally be.
But the strange thing is that these Xiang army commanders almost all came with sad faces and left happily, leaving Fan Zhongyan and Wu Zunlu confused.
