Just listening to the operation of the entire layout has already made more than 200 students immersed in it.
For the immature students, it was as if they were reading a cool article. There were almost no low points in the whole article, only a wave of highs and highs. Because they had never read such an article before, they were naturally deeply attracted by it.
Deeply attracted and unable to extricate myself.
Those with a bit of sanity, while listening to the layout process, began to deeply explore this so-called economic invasion. Every time they heard about Jingzhou's industrial and commercial share, they were robbed one more point by foreign businessmen. And the most profitable thing in Jingzhou is from commodity production.
, switched to ore mining, and after the rough processing of commodities, the boiling heart gradually became colder.
When the last person finished reading, everyone basically had an understanding of economic invasion.
Immature students find it magical but also a bit boring, because it is inferior to marching and fighting, which is a complete one-sided massacre.
Mature students, on the other hand, are thinking about the reason why Jingzhou was defeated so quickly and so tragically without knowing it. They don't know how to say that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, is doing better.
Perhaps, he did not understand the dangers of economic invasion from the beginning, just like they would have been ignorant of the so-called economic invasion if Xie Xin had not told them.
Thinking about how they died without knowing why, they even stretched out their necks to be chopped off by others. These students finally understood how terrible economic invasion is. It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of battlefield is sharper than conventional war.
, more difficult to guard against, and more harmful to the world.
What is the situation in Jingzhou now?
First, we need to understand the current situation of the two largest aristocratic families in Jingzhou, the Kuai family and the Cai family.
The Kuai brothers are relatively conservative. They are not very optimistic about industry and commerce, and still yearn to make money in the fields. However, probably because they saw how good Cai's business was, they felt itchy. In recent years, they have also been in Jingzhou with several small and medium-sized aristocratic families that are attached to them.
Many processing plants have been opened within the territory to conduct rough processing of crops produced in the fields.
Yes, it's just rough processing, because Xie Bian has a more convenient and cost-effective processing method. The fine products produced are not only better in grade, but also cheaper. So raw materials or rough processing raw materials are what they need
, and only purchased these commodities from Jingzhou.
Nowadays, Cai's focus has begun to shift towards industry and commerce, so now more than 80% of Jingzhou's agricultural share has been taken by the Kuai family interest group. Most of the land under his name is used to plant various cash crops that can make a lot of money.
A few are growing cash crops that can be consumed locally, and only a very small amount of land is still growing food.
At the moment, the price of food in Jingzhou is extremely low. The influx of large amounts of food from other places has directly caused a collapse in food prices. Basically, whoever grows the food loses money. No one has thought deeply about why so much cheap food can be grown in other places, but not in Jingzhou.
no.
Since it is more cost-effective to buy than to grow, and you will definitely lose money if you grow, then after several years of losses, who else would be stupid enough to continue growing food? If there is a need, just import it directly!
As for profitable cash crops, whether they are spices from the Western Regions, tea for daily drinking, or even herbs used to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, these are all highly profitable commodities in this era. After making money from the first harvest and sale, Jingzhou
All the aristocratic families are crazy.
When they learned rough processing and gained more profits, their eyes were already glowing red.
By monopolizing agriculture in Jingzhou, the Kuai's interest group has more than tripled the family's strength. In recent years, it has cooperated with businessmen under Xie Bian's rule to jointly mine ores. Although they have to share a little profit with them, Nanyang County
Rich management concepts and methods can maximize the enthusiasm of each miner, and ultimately the increased profits will be much more than what is paid.
Similarly, the Kuai interest group also began to get involved in the rough processing of ore. The processed crude iron ingots, crude copper ingots, etc. were also sold to other states and counties through water transportation in exchange for profits.
The Kuai brothers lived such a prosperous life, but compared to the Cai family, they were much worse off.
Chua naturally disdains rough processing and agriculture. For them, the profit cycle is too slow!
If the Kuai interest group represents the interests of the civil servant class in Jingzhou, then the Cai interest group represents the interests of the military attaché class in Jingzhou.
Guys who use knives and guns like nothing more than to make quick money. They don't even care if they slowly farm and mine.
In the early days, when Nanyang businessmen began to request road construction, Cai's interest group began to cooperate and communicate with them.
In the days that followed, it was apparent that businessmen from Nanyang came to contract the road construction work, and the price was to earn several years of tolls. But secretly, Cai's interest group accounted for 70% of the profits.
The civilian husbands who were called were directly served by Jingzhou soldiers. There was no need for training and Nanyang merchants provided enough meat. For the common people in this world who could join the army as long as they had food to eat, it was already a paradise on earth.
As a result, all road sections were completed efficiently and then smoothly entered the profit recovery stage.
Since tolls need to be collected, it is natural to increase the flow of people. So at the instigation of Nanyang merchants, Cai Mao and his ministers all advised to follow Nanyang's reforms and increase tax revenue.
When the on-site inspection could indeed increase tax revenue, Liu Biao agreed to this request. As a result, city entry taxes were canceled in various places, and many checkpoints were abolished at the same time.
In this way, there were more people doing business, and more people came in and out of the city. In addition, the toll was much lower than the entry fee, and it was accepted by the people. As a result, the income from tolls set new records every day.
Cai's interest group has made huge profits from tolls alone, and it basically doesn't require much effort to operate.
After that, the army's re-equipment is also a big expense.
Procurement has been a key link in corruption since ancient times. For example, a SLR worth 2,000 yuan can be purchased at a price of 4,000 yuan; a computer worth 3,000 yuan can also be purchased at a price of 8,000 yuan...cough...
Military tents, armors, weapons, marching supplies...it doesn't matter if it's a soldier alone, but if it's included in an army of 100,000 people in Jingzhou, how much does it cost?
Nanyang businessmen directly introduced the sales concept of "old for new", saying that they can use old goods to sell various military supplies at a certain discount.
Originally, these materials were about 30% cheaper than normal purchases. Even if they were quoted according to the original purchase price, it would still be a huge income. Now coupled with the "old for new" discount benefit, it is naturally difficult to withstand the large-scale Jingzhou soldiers.
Change clothes.
Liu Biao also appraised these military supplies and found that their quality was better than the original ones, and the price was not increased at all. He thought that he could replace it. However, he did not replace it all at once, but started with direct descendants.
Replace bit by bit.
But no matter what, a large amount of money still flowed into the pockets of officers from all walks of life.
In the subsequent poaching operation, Cai's Group even acted as an accomplice, because it made money faster! Under the pressure of guns and knives, those technicians who refused to move out had to be forcibly demolished and then moved.
Directly 'sold' it.
Anyway, until now, there is no skilled technician in Jingzhou. Those so-called rough processing factories only employ skilled workers with no technical skills. Basically, anyone who is not an idiot can enter and work for three or four months.
You’re ready to get started.
Gradually, road construction and procurement could no longer satisfy the Cai Group's appetite. So a new round of business cooperation began.
Under the pressure of swords and guns, a large number of shops began to sell their stores and then fled to other places. A large number of cooperative shops sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in Jingzhou.
What the Cai Group needs is to escort the goods when they enter Jingzhou. And 40 to 60% of the profits earned by these stores will go into the pockets of the Cai Group. Since the Jingzhou navy has also begun to serve as a transportation brigade
, Cai’s interest group has made a fortune.
To this day, most of the profitable shops in Jingzhou are opened by outsiders. Only a few light industry and local specialty shops are still maintained. However, according to the deployment of the economic invasion war, they should close down in March this year at the most.
Looking at it now, most of the daily necessities and necessities in Jingzhou are actually produced in other places and sold in Jingzhou.
It's just that the existence of these shops has not only solved the employment problem of many people, but also the goods are of high quality and low price, and are deeply loved by the people of Jingzhou. As for the so-called slogan of revitalizing local industry and commerce, there has never been any such slogan.
After everyone knew that the two major interest groups behind the scenes were the Cai family and the Kuai family, they all sensibly kept their mouths shut, because they still expected to live for a few more years.
Recently, a large number of affiliated children of Cai's interest group have invested in various parts of China. Using the previous cooperation concepts, they have quickly seized markets in various places. Although they cannot directly promote their development through power, their advanced management concepts still allow them to
Earned a lot of wealth.
In Nanyang County, a large number of industries with low technical content have also begun to use technology as shares to cooperate with the Cai Group for production. This has further tied the Cai Group's interest groups directly to the Nanyang County chariot.
To sum up, although today's Jingzhou is more prosperous on the surface than before, and the living standards of the people are higher, they are just pavilions and pavilions built in illusion. As long as the businessmen withdraw all their capital, then
Things are going big!
"Are we going to witness something so horrific?" Ma Liang asked tremblingly.
"Is there no smart people in Jingzhou who can see through this?" Cao Zhi said in disbelief.
"Ten tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are unemployed at the same time... God..." Cai Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Are you surprised enough?" Xie Xin suddenly asked.
"That's enough! That's enough! If I had known that the economic invasion was so terrible, I would rather not have known about it!" Yue Xi said with a smile.
"Now that you know, you can be more defensive in the future. As I said before, this is actually a battle where you come and go, but those idiots in Jingzhou won't fight back at all.
It is precisely because of this that we have been able to reach this point smoothly. What you should pay attention to is that in the days to come, local economic intrusions will prevent you from falling into the fate of Jingzhou today!" Xie Xin said seriously.
.
"Here!" everyone replied in unison.
"So... you have begun to understand what economic warfare is. Now, we will personally engage in economic warfare and use your five senses to experience the final stage of economic warfare for yourself!" Xie Xin pointed to the busy researchers.
