As Zhao Yingong's work in Hangzhou gradually unfolded, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau's network in Jiangnan began to be laid out. Enterprises in Shanhai Road were gradually opened in various places. This step of work progressed relatively slowly: it was necessary to open in unfamiliar places.
A semicolon is not an easy task, let alone running a business.
Among all the names, the most important thing for the Foreign Intelligence Service is the layout of Qiwei. As a transportation and logistics company on the Shanhai Road, Qiwei Escort plays a vital role in the future transfer of refugees and must make preparations in advance.
.
Because Qiwei's expansion in Guangdong was too violent, even if Sun Kecheng recruited every available fellow countryman and relative from his hometown in Jiangxi, they would not be able to send enough personnel to serve as clerks and escorts on every cabinet. Not to mention
Taking on the escort business - it takes many years to train a qualified escort, and only those who have practiced martial arts since childhood can take this job. There are not many people in this business originally. In the actual control of Qiwei's business,
Under Zhang Xin's control, Qiwei had no choice but to open the door to recruiting bodyguards.
Most of the escort bureaus in Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta region were originally struggling to survive under the pressure of rising power. If Sun Kecheng had not been more "moral and righteous" and refused to force his colleagues to follow the northwest wind, leaving a small amount of escort business to his colleagues.
, they all went bankrupt long ago. Now, under the command of Zhang Xin, this kind of kindness has changed its appearance: Qiwei has extended an olive branch of "joint venture" to its peers.
The so-called "joint venture" refers to annexation, which is nothing more than giving this merger a more attractive appearance. Starting from the second half of 1630, taking advantage of the prestige after the Chengmai victory, it embarked on the road of annexing its peers.
After three or four months of integration, Qiwei annexed all the escort bureaus in the Pearl River Delta. Although the brands of other escort bureaus are still retained, they are all "joint franchise brands". For Zhang Xin, the biggest gain is not the
The branches of various escort agencies in Guangdong and as far away as Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi are the most valuable assets of the escort agencies: the escorts.
Escorts have the strongest and most conservative social ethics in ancient Chinese society, and are a group of very reliable and loyal figures. And their participation in business makes them less conservative and pedantic than Rufu.
Such people, as long as they win people's hearts a little, will become a reliable force that can drive freely. And these people are also the most urgently needed personnel around the expatriate senators at present. The senators need such a group of strong martial arts, worldly sophistication, and understanding of social conditions.
People who can be trusted serve as attachés and expatriate staff of the Intelligence Bureau.
Zhang Xin first dispatched a large number of Jiangxi personnel from various branches in Qiwei in Guangdong to Jiangnan, with the capital serving as a pioneer, further causing a tense situation.
New forces quickly came in, completely dismantling the situation where the powerful Jiangxi personnel were dominant. Later, he transferred a group of naturalized personnel from Lingao who were originally engaged in business to fill the positions of shopkeepers of each branch.
The operational duties of a steward.
After a thorough transformation, Qiwei has completely fallen into the hands of the Senate. Although Sun Kecheng still holds half of the shares, he no longer has control over the overall operation and personnel. The General Political Security Bureau
In the past, young people with "potential training prospects" have been transferred from Qiwei to Lingao for "training". Now this training has been completely open to the public. Zhao Manxiong has formulated a rotation training schedule for Qiwei personnel. It is planned to be completed by the end of 1632.
The registration, political review and "training" of all personnel of the Qiwei Escort will ultimately put Qiwei under complete control in the hands of the Senate.
At the same time, Qiwei, as an important chess piece in the Shanhai Second Road, has been expanding. Because the escorts are no longer available, most of the newly opened semi-colonies and outer cabinets are inns, warehouses, car and boat shops and the like.
The identity of Qiwei appears. Bodyguards are only used as a security force to protect their own facilities and vehicles - the Foreign Intelligence Service positions Qiwei as a transportation and logistics company. Bodyguards are only one of its business items.
In order to do a good job in the next step, Jiang Shan and Li Yan of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau; Zhang Xin of the Guangzhou Station, together with the veterans of the Commercial Department and the Planning Institute, made further adjustments to the layout, equity and structure of Qiwei.
After the adjustment, Qiwei still uses the name of "Escort Bureau", and reorganizes Qiwei Escort Bureau into Qiwei Escort Bureau United Co., Ltd. In addition to the shares of the Senate and the original Qiwei personnel, a part was separated as the annexed "
After some intense planning, a new share allocation was formed.
The shares of the new Qiwei Escort United Co., Ltd. are; the Senate holds 51%, the original Qiwei Escort personnel 40%, and the "joint" personnel 9%. The annual net profit is divided into 14 shares for dividends: the Senate has six shares
Half, one share for the Development Fund, one share for the Charity Provident Fund, and five and a half shares for all escort personnel.
All escort personnel listed on the roster are subject to the Lingao salary system. Naturalized staff who work and live outside the green zone and blue zone and are not in areas where negotiable coupons are circulated will be paid in silver and copper coins. All personnel
Compensation is calculated in accordance with the "Provisional Occupational Classification and Salary Guidance Standards Version 1630" and the "Provisional Occupational and Technical Grade Evaluation Standards Version 1631" promulgated by the People's Committee of Civil Affairs. Escorts as a type of work were not originally included in this document. The Labor Management Bureau of the People's Committee of Civil Affairs specifically
Special professional categories and technical levels have also been developed for escorts.
After the implementation of the new system, everyone in the escort agency will receive a pay stub on the 10th of every month, which details the components of remuneration: monthly salary, night shift allowance, business trip allowance, seniority allowance, and the last item is skill allowance. Liu Muzhou found it
Several people made a "Martial Arts Rating Table". The higher the level, the higher the skill allowance you can receive.
In addition to paying money, there are also deductions. The deductions are mainly in the welfare field. The Ministry of Finance and Finance has officially implemented the social insurance system among naturalized citizens. Currently, pension and work-related injury insurance are deducted from the salary every month. Since the Senate still has
We are not planning to engage in an insurance company, so the insurance business is handled by Delong Bank.
In terms of organization, Weibao United Co., Ltd. has set up the Weibao Bureau Board of Directors and the General Management Bureau in Guangzhou. It has three general accounts. They are: Guangzhou headquarter, Shanghai headquarter and Jingshi headquarter. Each headquarter is set up
There is one chief steward, who is a naturalized citizen sent by Lingao.
Each main office is directly responsible to the General Administration and the Board of Directors, and conducts business locally under the command of the General Administration. In terms of specific jurisdiction, the General Administration of the Qiwei Escort Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade, and the Guangzhou Main Office is under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Station
Command, the Shanghai main number is under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Station, and the Jingshi main number is under the jurisdiction of Beijing Station.
Under the new management system, Qiwei Escort Bureau's main office in Guangzhou was reduced to one of the three main offices, and it has actually been reduced to a branch. It has completely lost its original influence.
In order to facilitate management, Zhang Xin from the Guangzhou Station served as the director and chairman of the General Administration. Sun Kecheng had the title of Chief Security Officer and Vice Chairman, but was actually unable to control specific affairs.
Zhang Xin once did a lot of work to transform Qiwei Escort into a large transportation and logistics enterprise. He developed a fairly complete management system for Qiwei's transportation and logistics business based on the social conditions of Guangdong in this time and space. This system
It has proven to be very successful in practice. Qiwei Escort Bureau has continuously improved the operation of the transportation and logistics network established in Guangdong, especially the Pearl River Delta, allowing Qiwei to extend its tentacles throughout Guangdong and Guangxi within three or four years.
Fujian and Jiangxi provinces are adjacent to Guangdong and enjoy convenient transportation.
In the Pearl River Delta region, Qiwei Escort Bureau has almost achieved a monopoly on the transportation and logistics market - of course, this is with the strong support of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Commerce.
Now, as the person in charge of the Shanghai headquarters, Zhao Yingong is preparing to replicate this model in Jiangnan. This is not only to prepare for the next step of transporting refugees, but also to control the local economic circulation. Zhao Yingong knows that the Senate will "digest" Guangdong in the next step
, thoroughly incorporated it into Lingao's new economic order, and at the same time began to operate Jiangnan. Laying a good foundation before that was also his important task.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were relatively stable areas in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was still possible to open large-scale logistics and transportation enterprises. Therefore, long before Zhao Yingong arrived in Jiangnan, the first group of people who had risen to power had already set off to Jiangnan and the capital to open up the situation and prepare for subsequent dispatches.
Come to veteran intelligence agents to do the basic work.
In order to ensure that Zhao Yingong's work could be carried out smoothly, Zhang Xin not only transferred a number of business backbones from Weizhong to Jiangnan for layout, but also asked the Senate to select a few people from among the elders who were willing to travel on business to go to Shanghai to supervise this work.
In order to ensure the smooth development of the work, he also requested that several special investigation teams be dispatched to Shanghai to await call.
The first expansion move carried out by the Qiwei Escort Bureau in Shanghai was to establish a long-distance passenger transport company with Shanghai as the center.
There are already certain requirements for long-distance travel in this time and space, especially in densely populated areas like the Pearl River Delta, where people move very frequently. Rich people certainly bring their own carriages, horses and sedans, but most people either rely on their own feet, hire boats or
sedan chair.
There are already special sedan and boat companies in Jiangnan in this time and space. However, the scale of the sedan and boat companies is not large, and the business level is very low. The sedans and ships used are old and the sanitary conditions are poor. People engaged in this industry
Most of the bosses in the industry don't care about business, and only want to exploit guests and boatmen. The salary of the bearers and boatmen in the industry is meager, so they can only rely on extorting tourists during the trip to earn extra income. There are also many porters in the inns along the way.
Treating tourists as Tang monk meat. Therefore, ordinary people at that time all regarded traveling far away as a fearful journey.
