Gao Pragmatism, who always pays attention to the principle of maximizing interests, certainly would not just give him the soap agency rights for the entire Liaodong just because Xue Cheng entertained him at the banquet. This is a complete act of giving money. The reason why he suddenly
Extending an olive branch to Xuecheng has a clear purpose.
First of all, Xuecheng was the younger brother of Xue Qian, who was in charge of Yang Wuhou Yin. Historically, Xue Qian was not officially named Yangwuhou until his death. However, after his death, his son Xue Yuan was the official of the eight classics.
The imperial court recognized that Xi Jue was the Marquis of Yangwu, so in the future this Xuecheng would be the uncle of Marquis Yangwu - so there would be no problem in treating him as the representative of the Marquis Yangwu Mansion.
Secondly, once the Yangwuhou family gets the soap agency right in Liaodong, the other noble families will definitely be dissatisfied with the small amount of dividends they can only share in the capital every year, while the Yangwuhou family, which is not the top noble family, will get more.
There are so many, so they will definitely ask for agency rights from other provinces or regions, so they will have to move closer to high pragmatism.
Gao Pragmatic has so many profitable things on hand that only he knows it, and he won't mind the second-hand benefits brought by the agency rights of sharing profits with them. After all, his goal is to establish a core industrial circle by himself, and let Xungui Group, civil servants
The group and even the royal family group formed a chain of interests centered on his industrial system, which comprehensively drove the Ming elite group to change their thinking and embark on the path of reform. Therefore, it is foreseeable that under the highly pragmatic "profit sharing", the two parties can hit it off.
Their interests can only become more closely tied step by step.
This highly pragmatic approach, as people with a little bit of savvy will know in later generations, is what is called making the cake bigger first, and then I, the core main force in making the cake, will distribute it to everyone. If you want to share more, then
You have to listen to me more than others. The only variable here is actually the royal family, especially the emperor himself - in theory, he is supreme and can not listen to your distribution and force him to divide it.
However, Gao Pragmatic felt that at that time, he would have something to think of. Because if the emperor wanted to allocate it himself, he would definitely have to take the lion's share, but except for himself, the interests of everyone else would be affected. In this way,
Gao pragmatism can use the will of "all the people under heaven" to force the emperor to withdraw this idea that may endanger the foundation of his rule. In the end, both parties reach a compromise. As long as such a good show is staged, Gao pragmatism's status as superior to the ministers will be reduced.
It’s decided - but I don’t know what year or month this happened, so take your time.
Thirdly, after all, Gao Pangshi's own funds at hand are still very limited, and his time is very tight, so it is impossible for him to invest the money he earned from selling soap in the capital into developing the national soap market.
Otherwise, he would probably just be a Ming soap king for the rest of his life.
He must use his money to build new industries and develop new financial resources as quickly as possible. In this kind of building and development, the production technology involved will only become higher and higher, and the scale of the industry will only become larger and larger.
, then correspondingly, more and more investment will be required. If nothing unexpected happens, his industry should be snowballing and getting bigger, and at the same time, the investment will also be snowballing and growing.
Then, this requires him to take the initiative to give up some of his non-core interests after innovating a certain industry, and introduce more investors to partner with him to share risks and benefits. As long as he still controls the industry
Without core resources, other partners can only "unite closely around the interest group with high pragmatism as the core" and willingly open up business routes for him and protect him from wind and rain.
I don’t know how this kid attended the Party School refresher course in his previous life. He didn’t learn much about the lofty idea of serving the people. He only learned so much about weaving a web of interests. Really, a Buddha can only save those who are destined for him.
After handing over the shipment of soap from Liaodong to Gu Cheng, of course he couldn't sell it at the retail price. After Gao pragmatically finished eating, he signaled Gu Cheng to leave. Gu Cheng was even more anxious than Gao pragmatically, so he reluctantly insisted on sending Qi Jiguang off in person.
After going to rest, he nonchalantly asked Gao Pragmatic to go to the study for a secret discussion.
The two of them discussed carefully in the study room for two full hours. It was not until 3:30 pm (around 10:30 p.m.) that Gao Pragmatic could no longer hold on and was about to fall asleep, so they reluctantly negotiated all the details.
I won’t mention too detailed terms. Generally speaking, the most important ones are that Gao pragmatically provides soap to Gu Cheng at 90% of the soap’s retail price in the capital. Gu Cheng guarantees that the Yangwu Marquis Mansion will use its greatest efforts to open up the Liaodong trade route, Liaodong
If there is any resistance to this, Gao Jingshi will be responsible for handling the civil affairs, and the Yangwu Marquis Mansion will be responsible for the military ministers or nobles. At the same time, Gu Cheng needs to ensure that his shipping price is not lower than the retail price of Jingshi soap, otherwise Gao Jingshi will handle the matter.
The right to terminate supply at any time.
Gu Cheng didn't pay much attention to other scattered aspects, nor did he understand Gao Pragmatic's convoluted explanations. After a rough look, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he just signed and signed on behalf of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion - of course this was not a problem.
It needs to be sent to Xue Qian to be stamped with the seal of Marquis Yangwu before it is complete.
And Gao Pangshi, a bad guy who studied law at the university in his previous life, certainly doesn't mind inserting some "secret doors" that seem harmless to humans and animals, but are actually extremely sinister.
If the Hou Mansion wants to go back on its word, the secret doors here will change from a beautiful place full of flowers to a desperate situation filled with thorns.
"Zengguang Xianwen" puts it well: You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. After all, being highly pragmatic cannot guarantee that you will not be in danger in the future. If some of your partners are
When he saw that the situation was not going well, he gave up and wanted to leave him alone to survive. How could he survive if he didn't have some countermeasures? Haven't you heard of the saying "If you have wine and meat and many brothers, you will never see one person in an emergency."
?If you are highly pragmatic and don’t regard yourself as that kind of pedantic gentleman, how can you let others “deceive you”?
After the matter was discussed, the satisfied Commander Xue almost treated Gao Jingshi as the God of Wealth. He personally arranged for Gao Jingshi to live in the best villa in Kaiping, and even brought Gao Jingshi's bodyguards.
They were treated to a late-night dinner of wine and meat, and then arranged to stay in Gao Shishi's courtyard. At the same time, he was worried that they would get drunk and cause trouble, so he personally ordered two hundred "elite soldiers" to guard the courtyard all night long.
To put it in his words: Even a cat named Chun is not allowed to appear around the other courtyard and disturb Gao Shidu's rest! Otherwise, I will personally use the whip and whip you losers to death!
