Chapter 449 Lao Tzu hates this kind of regional discrimination!
Yan Lu asked: "Boss Xiao, where do you plan to open this supermarket in Yanchuan?"
Xiao Luomu said: "Except for Yanchuan City, there will be one in every county in Yanchuan."
Yan Lu's pupils shrank, and the other businessmen all whispered to each other.
Only Li Zhi and Zhu Guo could remain calm and glance secretly at Zhao Cheng.
"How can this work? The supermarket is so big and has all kinds of goods. Who will patronize our store in the future?"
"There is already enough stock in the shop now. How can I sell my stock once I get it from the supermarket?"
"Didn't you hear that the purpose of setting up supermarkets is to provide convenience to the people and also lower the prices of goods appropriately? How can we do business in the future?"
"That is to say..."
Yan Lu raised his hand and glanced at the table, stared at Xiao Luomu and said: "Boss Xiao, have you heard it? Once your supermarket opens, it will be good for you, but it will harm all of us! I advise you
Think about it again, this is inappropriate!"
Xiao Luomu still maintained a smile and said: "Boss Yan, opening a supermarket is the next step that the Oriental Chamber of Commerce must take. I am not discussing with you, but seeing that it is rare for you to gather together, I will inform you."
"you!"
Yan Lu suddenly became angry and shouted: "Is your Xiao family so unreasonable?"
Xiao Luomu said: "I just said that this is the business plan of the Oriental Chamber of Commerce and has nothing to do with my Xiao family. Besides, since the Chamber of Commerce has supplied you with products such as soap, toilet water and lip balm, you have made money by relying on the products of the Chamber of Commerce.
How much did it cost?”
"When you make money from the Chamber of Commerce, why don't I see you being so popular, Boss Yan?"
Yan Lu was choked and speechless. He took the lead and sat down and slapped the table hard.
Seeing this, the merchants all sat down and looked solemn.
Yin Nan rolled his eyes and looked at Dong Twelve, who was sitting next to Li Zhi, and said: "Boss Dong, you, Dong Ji Trading Company, first made the soap. After you cooperated with the Xiao family, Boss Xiao founded the Oriental Chamber of Commerce.
Now that the Chamber of Commerce has grown, it will take away the business of your Dongji Trading Company. Aren’t you heartbroken? Why don’t you just say a few words?”
The ball was kicked over, and Dong Twelve slapped his thigh, looking helpless.
"Okay, if you want me to say a few words, then I will say a few words."
Dong Twelve drank a cup alone and saw the merchants all looking expectantly, and said: "First, the profit characteristics of supermarkets are to gather people, small profits but quick turnover, which is beneficial to the people. Secondly, the supply demand of supermarkets
It is large and has high requirements for inventory, so every supermarket is a large warehouse. In the event of disasters and emergencies, supermarkets can cooperate with the government in mobilizing supplies, which is also beneficial to the court."
"I support anything that is good for the people and good for the court."
"Second, the Oriental Supermarket in Yanchuan City will be based on Dongji Trading Company. In other words, there will no longer be Dongji Trading Company in Yanchuan City, only Oriental Supermarket."
boom!!
After listening to Dong Twelve's words, the Yanchuan merchant's head was buzzing.
Only then did I realize that Dong Twelve and Xiao Luomu were on the same side!
The capital officials like Wei You and Lu Zhao, as well as the local officials like Li Daicheng and Xu, all nodded unconsciously after hearing the first point expounded by Dong Twelve.
This is a game between businessmen. They will not interrupt, but they have their own judgment in their hearts.
Lu Zhao had worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs when he was young, and was particularly touched by Dong Twelve's analysis.
On the surface, Dajing looks like a prosperous city, but in fact, disasters occur every year, and disaster relief is a hard expenditure that the Ministry of Household Affairs has to worry about every year.
It's fine in peacetime, but in times of war, the Ministry of Household Affairs is too focused on the east and not on the west to be able to provide relief.
The Ministry of Revenue had no choice but to order the local government to find a way, and the local officials had to find big families to raise food. After borrowing from the Su family, they borrowed from the Li family, and after borrowing from the Li family, they borrowed from the Zhu family. Often, when these big families are in tighter supply,
The more they take the opportunity to suppress food and raise prices. In their eyes, making money is the first priority, and the life and death of the people is not important at all.
But with supermarkets it's different.
As a large warehouse, supermarkets store more grain than several families put together. If there is a disaster, the government can directly seek cooperation from the supermarket, and no longer need to be constrained by those big families.
Invisibly, the power of the big family was greatly weakened.
In Lu Zhao's eyes, this is more than a good thing.
What a great thing!
He thought in his mind that he would study the Oriental Chamber of Commerce's supermarket business and return to Changsui to have a meeting with the saint to praise this model.
If His Majesty supports it, then this supermarket model may be rolled out across the country, which will truly be a blessing to the people.
Snapped!
Yan Lu was much more irritable than Yin Nan. He threw his wine glass, stood up again, pointed at Xiao Luomu and cursed: "What do you mean by the Oriental Chamber of Commerce? Do you want to drive out all the merchants like us?!"
Xiao Luomu finally suppressed his smile and said coldly: "Supermarkets will indeed damage your existing interests, but compared with the interests brought to you by the products of the Oriental Chamber of Commerce, they are in conflict. But what's going on with you?
, we can only take advantage and not suffer any loss?"
"I said, if you have money, let's make money together. If you follow the pace of the Chamber of Commerce, you will suffer some losses now, but there will be more room for development in the future."
"As for the stock accumulation problem that some people talk about, is that a problem? Once a supermarket is opened, the amount of stock it will need is unimaginable. Any of your accumulated goods can be given to the supermarket for recycling."
"Xiao Luomu, you have such great ambitions!" Yan Lu said angrily: "I want to give you the accumulated goods to recycle? You are trying to eat us all!!"
"You are from Jingdong, and you come to our Yanchuan and open your mouth like a bloody mouth. What kind of peace of mind do you have?!"
Yin Nan echoed: "Yes! We Yanchuan merchants all agree! Go back to your Jingdong County. You want to open a supermarket in Yanchuan, it's impossible!"
With that said, Yin Nan glanced behind him, his eyes fell on Song Baiyu's face, and said: "Boss Song, please say a few words!"
Song Baiyu was younger, stroking the jade pendant in his hand, sitting and saying: "Justice is in the heart of the people. If Boss Xiao insists on going his own way, then this road will definitely not work."
Hearing Song Baiyu's neither soft nor hard words, Yan Lu was furious and suddenly thought of something. He left the table and walked towards Zhao Cheng, saying loudly: "Xiao Xiangye! I know your relationship with Xiao Luomu.
Okay, but you have to distinguish between public and private affairs and uphold justice for us Yanchuan people! If the Oriental Chamber of Commerce does this, we Yanchuan merchants will have no way to survive!"
“Noisy!!!”
Zhao Cheng suddenly gave a sharp shout, glanced at Wei You, and said: "Didn't you see Mr. Wei You here? Mr. Wei acts on behalf of the emperor. You are making such a noise, where is your majesty?!"
Hearing this, Song Baiyu, who was still sitting, immediately rushed over and knelt down, saying: "I never meant this, sir. Please forgive me, Master Wei!"
The merchants knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Please forgive me, Mr. Wei!!!"
Wei You just smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip without talking to their mouths.
Zhao Cheng thought to himself that Wei You was really a smart man, no wonder he was able to get along like a fish in the palace. He stood up and said, "Originally I didn't want to say anything, but you guys took the initiative to find me!"
"Look what you are talking about?"
"A person from Jingdong? A person from Yanchuan?"
“I hate this kind of regional discrimination the most!”
"Have you forgotten how Du Laihua fell?"
"What? Jingdong and Yanchuan are two countries?"
"Bosses, we are all citizens of Dajing, and we are all Jingren!"
Zhao Cheng clasped his fists in the direction of Chang Sui, with a pious look on his face, and said sternly: "Is there any king in the world? We only have one holy master!!"
