Chapter 1540 The situation is stronger than the people
Haihan's strategy of integrating the local financial industry is not very novel. It is just an old-fashioned method of dividing rival camps and using coercion and inducement. It may not have such good results in the environment of other industries. But because of Haihan's
Han's strength in the field of finance is really strong, big enough to make local bank bosses unable to think of a head-on confrontation. Coupled with the presence of Cai Jinmei, who is the first to seize the opportunity, and the timely help of He Tinggui, an internal agent, it will be possible for Han to
This group of people kept silent and could only keep their dissatisfaction and doubts in their hearts and did not dare to express them in front of Cai Jinmei.
He Tinggui had blatantly sided with the Haihan camp and followed Cai Jinmei to sign the cooperation agreement. The rest of the people in the room looked at each other, and in the end they all looked at the local industry leader, Xinlong
Jin Mingfa, the boss of the bank, is waiting for him to give everyone an idea.
Jin Mingfa felt miserable. If he had known that He Tinggui had quietly defected to Haihan, why would he have stood up and acted as a negative example? Just now he was thinking of trying to gain some favorable conditions for local colleagues and at the same time solidify his image as the leader of the industry.
, will come forward to bargain with the Haihan people. But once a traitor appears in this fragile offensive and defensive alliance, it will be an irreversible situation. He Tinggui acted like this, he himself was picked out, but Jin Mingfa could
He was so devastated, he knew without asking that his image in Cai Jinmei's mind must be extremely negative.
Personal image is a minor matter, but if it affects the future business prospects of Xinlonghao, this possibility will make Jin Mingfa very nervous. What he wants to strive for is better and more stable cooperation conditions, not a person who has been betrayed by Haihan.
He regarded it as a situation against him. He also knew that he was not strong enough to fight against Haihan Bank. If it was really regarded as a stumbling block, then Xinlong would have no choice but to ask for blessings.
In a short period of time, Jin Mingfa filtered through the backers he could contact in his mind, and found that they were probably not very useful. Haihan's boss in Zhejiang was related by marriage to Qu Yutong, the prefect of Ningbo, which everyone knew
However, the power that Jin Mingfa could draw on in the government was not at the level of Qu Yutong. Using this relationship might make the problem more serious.
Jin Mingfa sighed and said: "Everyone, this situation now... I'm afraid it's out of control. I think we should just follow the wishes of the Haihan people and do what they say!"
After Jin Mingfa thought about it, his desire for survival finally prevailed. If he followed the wishes of the Haihan people, he could at least survive for a while. During this buffer period, he could also think of ways to find other ways to solve the problem. But if he continued to disobey Haihan,
The opponent's next move will be beyond your ability to catch, and you will be dead in a matter of minutes.
Everyone saw that Jin Mingfa was so frustrated. Even if they had any objections, they knew that it would be difficult for them to find companions to fight Haihan's plan. At that moment, Jin Mingfa called the waiter outside the door and asked him to inform Cai Jinmei that he had already thought about it.
If it goes through, local banks will follow Haihan Bank's lead from now on.
Cai Jinmei and Shi Diwen were drinking tea in another courtyard at this time. Regarding the various reactions that local bank operators might have, Cai Jinmei had already made a very clear judgment. These bank bosses who regard wealth as their lives must be reluctant to give up their money.
The operational control is left to Haihan, but in order to survive their bank, they will eventually choose to compromise.
"If someone still stiffens his neck and refuses to submit, then I might as well send someone to chop off his head. Sometimes it's better to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. It's more effective than saying 10,000 good words." Shi Di
Wen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and used a very calm tone to persuade Cai Jinmei not to be stubborn and use a relatively gentle method to force these bank bosses to submit.
Although Cai Jinmei is a woman, she is also a very confident and independent person. If not, Schneider would not have supported her to the current high position in charge of Haihan's financial affairs. Regarding Shi Diwen's persuasion, Cai Jinmei is still
Sticking to his point of view: "If the Ministry of Finance of Haihan also uses the means of killing and killing, how is it any different from the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of National Defense? I don't think it is appropriate, and General Shi doesn't need to persuade him anymore. If even the Ningbo Prefecture
If the bank bosses can't take them down, then how can we talk about integrating industry standards? Even if they refuse to submit, I have a way to deal with them without using knives or guns."
Shi Diwen shrugged and said: "Well, you are the expert in this field, so of course I will listen to you. If you need my cooperation in anything, please tell me directly."
The two chatted for a while, and then someone came to report that the bank bosses had surrendered and expressed their willingness to sign a cooperation agreement with Haihan Bank. Cai Jinmei winked at Shi Diwen proudly, and Shi Diwen also expressed his enthusiasm.
He bowed his hand generously to express his admiration. After all, there is no way to use force. Since he can subdue these people with Cai Jinmei's method, then Shi Diwen is not a murderous person, not to mention that each of these bank bosses has the power in their hands.
A large amount of public money will inevitably cause chaos in the Ningbo market if something goes wrong. This is not what Haihan expected to see.
The stable social order of the Ming Dynasty means the stability of the sales market and raw material supply places for Haihan, and the stability of the financial market is one of the necessary conditions for maintaining social stability. What Cai Jinmei said to the bank bosses before,
In fact, there are still some elements of exaggeration in it, and these people have a guilty conscience and are not in the mood to slowly consider whether the Haihan people can really take some more radical measures to unify industry business standards.
Cai Jinmei only came to Ningbo for half a day and managed the local financial industry. This speed was even shorter than the time it took Shi Diwen to meet with transportation operators a few days ago. Although there are some specific differences between the conditions of the two industries,
However, Shi Diwen still expressed his admiration for Cai Jinmei's professional ability and accurate judgment. He had to admit that Cai Jinmei, as one of the few high-ranking female officials in Haihan official circles, was indeed outstanding in her professional aspects.
However, the process of signing a cooperation agreement is not simple. Due to the special nature of the financial industry, this cooperation agreement is very detailed in terms of details, so that the entire agreement contains tens of thousands of words. However, this form of cooperation is inherently unclear.
The suspicious bank bosses would naturally not sign their names casually. By the time they finished interpreting the agreement, it was already the next day.
After Haihan Bank unifies its operating standards with local banks, in addition to the deposit and redemption business of Ming Dynasty Official Bank and Haihan banknotes in the future, these banks will gradually follow Haihan Bank and open a variety of financial services.
Cai Jinmei originally intended to promote high-end businesses such as securities and futures in Ming Dynasty, but Schneider believed that Ming Dynasty's financial market was far from mature and standardized, and rashly promoting these businesses would have certain operational risks, so he still refused.
Cai Jinmei’s proposal.
But in general, Haihan Bank's operation in Ningbo was quite successful. It encountered almost no decent resistance and made all these banks bow their heads. When the results here are reported back to Sanya, Cai Jinmei will be indispensable.
It must be recorded as a meritorious service.
In this process, He Tinggui, who has made outstanding contributions as a member of Haihan Bank, will naturally receive corresponding awards. Since the second day of the meeting, Hexinghao Bank, which he runs, has put up a "Designated Cooperative Bank of Haihan Bank" in its store.
"" sign, and began to provide deposit and exchange services to all customers holding Haihan banknotes or checks. In terms of getting started, his step was at least one or two months faster than his local counterparts. As for this leading time, it can provide him with
How much business advantage you can gain depends on your individual abilities.
Haihan met with leading figures in various industries in Ningbo Mansion with great fanfare. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people. In addition, the participants leaked information to the outside world intentionally or unintentionally, and finally brought to the table the upcoming establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
.Haihan, of course, does not mind if this matter is made public some time in advance when his own layout is almost in place.
When the news came out that Ming Dynasty and Haihan were about to establish diplomatic relations and open trade in the coastal states, the biggest impact would be on the merchants and workshops that produce various exported Haihan goods. The prominent businessmen in Ningbo Prefecture had already received the news in advance.
And some agreements have been reached with Haihan, but ordinary small businessmen do not have such sensitive information channels. By the time this news appears on the market, the right to speak in the new industry has already been controlled by a few large players.
, or even directly controlled by Haihan. And these merchants with smaller operations can basically just follow the market trend, and even the pricing power of the products is not in their own hands.
For example, the shipping costs from Zhoushan Port to various state capitals in Zhejiang have begun to change from the different quotations of different shipping lines in the early days to the standardization that is being promoted today. For dry bulk cargo, containerized cargo, and passenger transport, all have begun to be based on sea freight rates.
The price standards set by Han were implemented. However, those small shipowners who still went their own way suddenly discovered that several large-scale local shipping companies and horse racing companies seemed to have made an agreement and all sent goods according to unified price standards.
For transporters within this system, the cost of land and water transportation is significantly higher. If you want to reduce transportation costs, you can only first join the Ningbo Transportation Industry Association led by Haihan.
Haihan's management of guilds will naturally not completely continue the dross of feudal guilds. Instead, he will add a large number of management methods for enterprises and institutions, and operate guilds as a serious industry, and will organize regular meetings.
Conduct assessments and reviews to eliminate unqualified operators. The industry standards formulated by Haihan are also promoted to various merchants in the industry through guilds like this.
Although this form seems a bit old-fashioned, after adding the fresh ideas brought by Haihan, the role that guilds can play is very significant. And for those who have not joined the guild, the coercive effect of the guild is also
It is very effective, especially in the nature of the financial industry. As long as Hexinghao and his family express their intention to follow Haihan, if it is broken at one point, it means that the whole line is broken. All other banks can only follow up, otherwise they will wait to be beaten.
Xinghao was stepped on.
Although the rumors have spread among the people, the Ningbo government has not made any statement on the rumors, neither clarifying nor investigating the source of the rumors. Many people regard the government's attitude as acquiescence, so more and more people confirm
Now that the two countries are about to establish diplomatic relations, there are many people who are aware of the business opportunities. A few days ago, industry business standards that were wary of or even contradicted by big businessmen quickly became the target of imitation after the news spread.
Some merchants with relatively small business scales see very clearly that it will be difficult for them to gain any advantage if they have to compete with those large merchants who control the voice and even pricing power in the market for opportunities to trade with Haihan. But if they can keep up with Haihan,
Following the footsteps of the Han Dynasty, perhaps the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is an opportunity for them to squeeze into this trade circle.
Haihan is naturally very encouraging of this situation. The competition among merchants in the Ming Dynasty is fierce, so Haihan can have more choices and lower operating costs. Moreover, after the membership scope of the trading circle is expanded, Haihan can also
Screen out more suitable targets for support and train them to be Haihan's spokespersons for the interests of Ming Dynasty at all levels.
"According to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, the number of merchant ships arriving at Zhoushan Dinghai Port in July increased by 63 from last month and 140 more than last year. The import trade volume of Zhoushan Port in July was more than 427,000 yuan.
, the export trade volume was more than 714,000 yuan, and the trade surplus increased by 52% compared with the same period last year..."
While Shi Diwen was listening to the secretary reading the report, he was also writing and drawing on the paper with a pen in one hand. He was actually not sensitive to the data, so he needed to listen and write at the same time to deepen his memory. The operating conditions of Zhoushan Port
There has been a significant improvement in the past year. Part of the reason is that Shi Diwen is getting better at his job, and part of the reason is that Haihan has increased the scale of material procurement and commodity sales in Zhejiang, so that the trade volume has increased.
There has been a significant increase. Recently, it has been boosted by the great news of the establishment of a traffic link between the two countries, so the data on paper looks quite promising.
But Shi Diwen was not dazzled by these beautiful figures on paper. As a pragmatic local official, he knew very well that although the trade volume in Zhejiang was not small, there were still various problems.
The two ports of Dinghai and Shipu have not yet completed all port construction projects, and Haihan's self-production ability in Zhejiang is still an obvious flaw. There is almost no manufacturing industry except shipbuilding. This is why Shi Diwen has been
Problems to be solved.
