Wu Nanhai believes that if the indigenous people obtain technology too cheaply, it will only harm the interests of the elders in the long run. When the factory was still in the early stages of construction and the workers had not yet fully mastered the factory's production technology, the elders
The technology they have mastered is very important to people. Without the technology of the veterans, none of this would have happened. But when the factory is completed and the workers are proficient in production, they will only think that the factory is
Everything is created by them and has nothing to do with the elders. The invisibility of technical knowledge will make people downplay the importance of intellectual property. If knowledge is no longer important, then the glory of the elders will not be far away.
In order to ensure that workers are always aware of and clearly aware of the importance of the technology of the elders in the Senate, it is very necessary to ensure intellectual property rights.
As for the importance of ensuring intellectual property rights, we must instill in people from the beginning that intellectual property rights also require real money to buy. Not only must they be purchased, but they must also be able to continuously generate money like farmland. Only in this way can the glory of the elders be guaranteed.
long.
In addition, in the past, their technology diffusion was mainly carried out through the mode of selecting collaborators. There is no specific standard for this selection, but it is more based on the personal views of the elders. Often an indigenous businessman obtains the elder or the elder by chance.
If a certain department favors it, it will receive support. Although it seems that the current support targets are generally performing well, it is unfair and highly speculative and accidental. It also makes the indigenous businessmen even more motivated to try to make a profit.
. This is not conducive to creating a fair and open business environment.
Wu Nanhai's theory has won the support of many elders. As the strength of the Senate has further increased, the attitude of the elders who used to attach great importance to "technology diffusion" has also changed. After all, when there are machine guns, they will no longer be interested in flintlocks.
The gun technology is something to worry about. Moreover, the Senate's current industry as a whole is not up to par, with the technology level ranking first in the world, and the output being pitifully low. The situation needs to be changed urgently. The auction was held under such conditions.
Wu Nanhai picked up the folder on the table, opened it and started browsing. The file recorded the merchants who had paid the deposit. According to the new regulations of the Senate, business entities must be engaged in industry and commerce. Therefore, there are many things on this list.
The companies that appear to be quite unfamiliar – they are all newly registered companies by large local companies.
Since the tax bureau came to Guangzhou, large local companies have registered companies one after another in order to adapt to the new tax system, so there have been many more "limited liability companies".
Wu Nanhai turned to the second page, which was an introduction to the background information of these participating companies. He flipped through it slowly, looking at the actual controllers behind these unremarkable font sizes - there were quite a few names he was familiar with.
He was a famous person in Guangdong in the late Ming Dynasty. Although he was not familiar with the others, he thought they were not ordinary merchants.
In this auction, some benchmark companies that were originally supported by the Senate and invested in shares, such as Zhang's food company, Chenliji and Runshitang's pharmaceutical companies, did not appear. Many came because they had little interaction with the Senate in the past, but now they hope that
Pictured are "newcomers" looking for opportunities to make money under the new system.
However, just looking at their backgrounds, except for a very small number of people, most of the actual controllers have nothing to do with "industry". More than 90% are engaged in commerce, lending and agricultural leasing as their main income. Less than 10%
The actual controller has been engaged in handicraft industry, focusing on the silk weaving industry, food processing industry and handicrafts.
Wu Nanhai has read the "Guangzhou Industry and Commerce Survey" compiled by the Guangzhou Municipal Comprehensive Management Office, and has a good understanding of the background of Guangzhou's industry and commerce. In a nutshell, there are very few large-scale manufacturing industries. Therefore, there is almost no such thing here.
character.
It seems that you can't make a fortune in the manufacturing industry at any time. Wu Nanhai sighed in his heart, looking at the situation of these large households, the richest ones are almost all engaged in trade and lending.
Guiding them into the manufacturing industry with high investment, low profits and slow returns would be impossible if it were not for the aura of the Senate.
Of course, the so-called "patent" in this auction is essentially a "franchise". No matter which project the local industrial and commercial households buy, the actual operation is that they provide the money (and maybe the land), and the Senate provides the technology.
This model. And the current situation of the Senate will not let them lose money at all. After the merchants spend money, they are equivalent to riding on the ship of the Senate, and they will inevitably gain fame and fortune. This can be regarded as a win-win situation.
situation.
Just after the afternoon of January 15th, Wu Yijun and his boy came to the big world in a small sedan carried by two people.
The Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce has an office in the Big World, but the auction is not held in the office. The specific location is at the intersection of the "Outside World" and the "Inner World" in the Big World. There is a row of facades here that have been opened and unified.
It has been renovated and there is a sign of "Lotus Root Teahouse" hanging outside.
This teahouse is no different from the local teahouse in Guangzhou, but it is opened by an Australian, and what it sells is the old-time "Cantonese-style morning tea" - now called "Australian morning tea".
As soon as Australian morning tea appeared, it won a reputation among the wealthy classes in Guangzhou. Compared with the morning tea of the old time and space, the ancient morning tea of the 17th century was not only rough in production and material selection, but also too "affordable" in terms of portion size.
A piece of glutinous rice chicken can be eaten as a meal, and the size is comparable to Jiaxing meat rice dumplings. It is too unfriendly for rich people.
If tea drinkers know a little bit about Lingao and the Senate, they will know that the name Lotus Root Court has a lot of history. Yes, it is not only a teahouse opened by Australians, but also a "tertiary industry" in Nonglinkou, Wu Nanhai. Since Nanhai Teahouse
After the Planning Office managed it and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry only managed it in escrow, Wu Nanhai instructed Ye Yuming to open the Lotus Root Tea House in a relatively prosperous industrial and commercial city in the Senate's ruling area and set up a chain operation. The consumer targets were mainly senators who were stationed abroad or on business trips.
and naturalized cadres and workers, and also welcomes indigenous people who want to try something new.
The Lotus Root Tea House opened in the Great World has naturally become the most popular place for the "new rich" or big business owners who want to join in the city of Guangzhou. It is logical to hold an auction here.
Because there is an auction, a notice "Today's reservation" is hung at the door of the Lotus Root Teahouse today. More than a dozen small sedans have been parked in the open space at the door, and the bearers and attendants are squatting in the corner outside the teahouse.
Side by side, chatting.
Wu Yijun glanced at the sedan and the attendants. He recognized most of the sedans and attendants of the members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. At a glance, there were not many heavyweights arriving. The most important one among those who had already arrived was Gao Li, but Gao Li was not participating in the auction today.
Yes, he is here as a "leader".
It seemed that it was still early, Wu Yijun thought to himself, these big guys always like to waste time, probably to show their importance.
You can bring a personal attendant into the venue. The attendant will present the "invitation letter" at the door, and the master and servant will be let in.
The first floor of the Lotus Root Tea House is a spacious and bright lobby, with more than twenty Eight Immortals tables. It is surrounded by the Zouma Tower. The Zouma Tower is full of private rooms, which is very convenient for gatherings and discussions - this is why local business leaders like it.
One of the reasons for coming here.
Today is an auction, so naturally no one will go to the private room. Half of the Eight Immortals table has already been filled with guests. As soon as they entered the door, everyone immediately stood up to greet them. Wu Yijun was responding casually when the waiter in a white short coat came over to greet:
"Master Wu, are you sitting in front today or..."
"It doesn't matter before or after. It just needs to look clearer."
"Okay." Dr. Tea immediately led him to a table against the wall. Wu Yijun looked around and saw that this position could have a full view of the whole place. He nodded with satisfaction and the waiter immediately took out a ticket and handed it to the waiter.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" The waiter nodded and left, and after a while he brought tea sets and tea cups. The waiter always keeps the guests' preferences in mind, and if they don't specifically give special instructions, they will follow the old rules.
There was originally a small stage in the lobby, where entertainers usually performed. Today, there is a door-shaped shelf in the middle of the stage, and a blackboard next to it. There is a small table on the other side. It is piled with envelopes.
Zhezi.
Wu Yijun observed the entire teahouse. The person closest to him was a young man. He was a little unfamiliar. He thought that there was such a person in the association? Looking closely at his appearance, he looked very familiar.
It turned out to be him! Wu Yijun suddenly realized.
This young man is none other than Shen Changxi, the young shopkeeper of the Jufenghao dumping store.
Jufenghao Dumping Shop, as the most famous dumping shop in Guangzhou, was originally a stable "sit-and-eat" business. However, after the Australians issued "Aoyang" and banned the circulation of silver coins and copper coins, the business of the dumping shop has declined.
It was over. The truth is self-evident. Moreover, the Reserve Bank of China immediately banned private gold exchange business, which was equivalent to taking away the last bit of business from the dumping shop.
Jufenghao naturally had no choice but to close down. The shop's clerks and craftsmen had no worries about where to go, and were quickly recruited by the Hong Kong Mint and the Guangzhou Branch of the Reserve Bank of China, and the Reserve Bank of China also extended its support to the Shen family.
Olive branch, ask them to take up the job. After all, these two father and son are also rare "technical talents".
However, the two father and son declined the invitation from the Senate. The Shen family had been operating in Guangzhou for many years and had accumulated a lot of money. They were unwilling to just "close down" and were preparing to start a new business.
It seems that they have already chosen a suitable project, Wu Yijun thought to himself.
Looking a little further away, it was Boss Mi - Wu Yijun couldn't help but frowned, as if he had smelled the smell. After the big shopkeeper who controlled the entire dung shop in Guangzhou wisely handed over all the "feces", he
Changed to specializing in "fertilizer shop" and used its own facilities and channels to sell "fertilizer" for the sanitation office.
