Chapter 2391

Trade and operation matters were not originally Chen Yixin's main business, but Haihan did not have a senior official specifically responsible for such matters in Shandong, so he, the highest officer, could only take care of them. Therefore, he not only had to worry about military affairs, but also

Take the time to direct and operate commercial promotions.

This is actually a relatively common situation in the overseas colonies of Haihan, because many travelers do not want to leave the comfortable environment of Sanya, so many overseas colonies can only have the garrison generals in charge of civil affairs and trade affairs, as well as military affairs.

However, this is a relatively new situation for the guests who were invited today. They originally thought that Chen Yixin's purpose in hosting the banquet was to ask for money from them, but they did not expect that the other party's purpose was to promote a business cooperation plan to them.

In fact, most of the wealthy people who took the initiative to come to Fushan County to escape the war already had direct or indirect interests with Haihan, and believed that Haihan could provide them with shelter, so they came here with their families and a lot of money.

After settling down, they do not reject cooperation with Haihan in the business field, but they have always lacked an opportunity to discuss the details of cooperation face to face.

Now Chen Yixin has provided them with such a rare opportunity. As for whether this cooperation can really be as profitable as Chen Yixin claimed, there is no need to question this. The local Ma family’s history is the best.

However, examples.

After coming to Fushan County, most of these people lived in the business district near Majiazhuang, and saw with their own eyes the astonishing wealth possessed by the Ma family. Before cooperating with the Haihan people, the situation of the Ma family was at best that of a squire similar to them.

He was just a landowner, and within a few years of joining the Haihan people, he had quickly become one of the most wealthy businessmen in Shandong. With such a successful example in front of him, who wouldn't want to be the next Ma family?

Zhen Lang did not miss another opportunity to perform this time, and asked first: "General Chen, how can I join this trade organization you mentioned? What benefits can you get if you become a member?"

Zhen Lang's way of asking questions was to set up a ladder for Chen Yixin. Chen Yixin nodded to him with satisfaction and responded in a deep voice: "The question raised by Boss Zhen, I believe everyone here will have similar questions, so I will go first."

Just answer it."

The cooperation between Haihan and Ming Dynasty merchants can be traced back to the time when he first arrived in Sanya more than ten years ago and sent people to Yacheng to set up an office in Yacheng. Over the years, Haihan also had early experience in cross-border trade cooperation and the establishment of business organizations.

With a relatively complete operating system and ready-made plans that can be applied to everything, Chen Yixin does not need to spend too much thought on this aspect that he is not good at, as long as he follows the script.

This regional business organization led by Haihan is essentially to integrate distributors and suppliers into a unified business system. On the one hand, it is to establish smoother supply and marketing channels and further expand Haihan's presence in Shandong.

trade scale, on the other hand, it is also necessary to use this kind of business organization to promote Haihan's business operation model, so that these merchants who join the organization can be included in the larger trade system. As long as the trade volume increases, these partners will

The income that can be obtained will naturally increase. Although it may not be possible for every partner to become the next Ma Dongqiang, it is not too difficult to make a fortune through this kind of partnership.

Moreover, once such an organization is established, the various resources that participants have access to will also skyrocket. In the past, they may have been only slightly powerful figures in their own states and counties, but in the future, with the help of the chamber of commerce, they can

The resources and connections they have are integrated, and their influence will expand to the entire Shandong and even wider areas.

Chen Yixin wants to make these people here realize that as long as they cooperate with Haihan now, they have the opportunity to become real big shots. And all they need to do is to sell or purchase certain products for Haihan.

Chen Yixin introduced Haihan's business cooperation plan in a concise and comprehensive manner, and told those present that as long as Haihan products can be seen in the Majiazhuang market, they can get the distribution rights. This is basically equivalent to giving money.

It's right under their noses, and they can get it with just a little stretch of their hands.

It is difficult for anyone to be unmoved by the cooperation prospects promised by Haihan, and so are all the people present. In the past few days since they came to Fushan County, they have seen Haihan's strength and local trade conditions, and they are not convinced by the rumors that he is good at doing business.

Haihan has a more accurate understanding, and the cooperation plan proposed by Haihan is also very comprehensive, with a very clear division of the interests and responsibilities of both parties, making it difficult for them to find faults.

Chen Yixin spent nearly an hour intermittently to finish introducing Haihan's business cooperation plan. He knew that there was too much content for these people to digest in a short while, so he decided to first answer any new questions they might have after listening.

Now someone really asked: "I heard that General Chen is married to the Ma family in this county, and the Ma family is your country's main underwriter in Shandong. If we get involved, wouldn't it be equivalent to asking for help?"

Stealing the Ma family's business? I wonder how General Chen will arrange it?"

This issue is extremely practical. Everyone knows the special relationship between Chen Yixin and the Ma family. If everyone present has the opportunity to obtain the distribution rights of Haihan products, it will be equivalent to dividing the cake that originally only belonged to the Ma family into several parts.

Go out, how can the Ma family be willing to do this? Even if the Ma family reluctantly accepts it, it is very likely that they will hate them. Haihan only has one trading point in Shandong, Fushan County. From now on, he will never look up to the Ma family.

There will inevitably be a lot of trouble.

Chen Yixin said: "Don't worry about this issue. The Ma family's business direction is different. I can guarantee that there will be no conflict of interest with your future operations."

Of course Chen Yixin would not use the interests of the Ma family in exchange to attract these outsiders. In the trade system of Shandong, the Ma family who first joined Haihan was undoubtedly the top comprador. Coupled with his personal relationship with Chen Yixin, the Ma family has already

Won the trust of Haihan. As long as the Ma family does not take the initiative to make principled mistakes, it will be difficult for latecomers to shake its solid position, let alone replace it.

Others who join the chamber of commerce led by Haihan will only have the status of regional distributors or suppliers at most, but the Ma family controls the resources of the entire Shandong market and must be carefully divided into hierarchies. Others are just subordinates of the Ma family.

It's just family. No matter how you slice this cake, it won't go to the Ma family.

Under the leadership and guidance of Chen Yixin, the Ma family's operations have long been no longer limited to Dengzhou. A considerable part of the money earned in recent years has been invested in overseas projects. Today, Jinzhou, Liaodong, Taiwan Island, North Korea, etc.

There are properties under the Ma family's name everywhere, but few outsiders know about it.

Zhen Lang also seized the opportunity and asked: "General Chen, can we only operate projects designated by your country, or can we have the right to choose on our own?"

Chen Yixin asked: "What choice does Boss Zhen want to choose?"

Zhen Lang said: "For example, if you are not interested in selling goods, can you choose to operate other industries? For example, you can still rely on the chamber of commerce mentioned by the general and open an institution such as a horse and carriage shop or a shipping company to specialize in transporting Haihan.

goods.”

Chen Yixin said: "Of course you can, but the competition in this type of industry is fierce. Boss Zhen should not operate with the mentality of getting special treatment."

Zhen Lang actually has a good vision. The logistics and transportation industry he is optimistic about will definitely prosper with the increase in the scale of cross-border trade. However, as Chen Yixin pointed out, entering this field will have to face increasingly fierce competition from peers. At present,

There are four or five large-scale horse racing shops with Fushan County as their business center, each with at least seven or eight branches, spread throughout all counties in Dengzhou, and some have even opened branches in Laizhou Prefecture. Many of them have

A powerful operator like the Ma family.

The threshold for shipping is much higher than that of a horse and carriage trade, because the navigation and shipbuilding industries in the north are not as developed as in the south. Whether it is buying a ship or hiring sailors and crews, the cost is much higher than that in the south. This is the reason.

Buying a boat in one step will dissuade most people, and only a very small number of businessmen with sufficient financial resources and special connections will consider opening a boat shop.

The current scale of shipping in Zhifu Port can be regarded as a first-class port on the northern coast of the Ming Dynasty. However, among the many shipping companies operating in Zhifu Port, the only one that is truly local is the one under the name of the Ma family. And

This was thanks to the support provided by Chen Yixin, who came forward to order a batch of merchant ships built by Haihan for the Ma family. Otherwise, even if Ma Dongqiang was determined to do this business, he would have to wait for a year or two just to buy the ship. In addition, other than that, even if Ma Dongqiang was willing to do this business, he would have to wait for a year or two just to buy the ship.

, almost all other merchant ships entering and leaving Zhifu Port belong to southern shipping companies.

In Chen Yixin's view, although Zhen Lang's idea is worth encouraging, if he really wants to open a boat shop, it may not be as easy as talking about it. So he kindly reminded the other party that running a boat shop is not an easy goal.

In fact, people like Zhen Lang also have their own concerns. Although the Haihan people have hyped up their business model, no one is sure whether Haihan's set of things will still work after they are moved to their hometown.

Moreover, some wealthy people only rely on land to operate traditional agriculture. They have accumulated a huge family fortune over several generations and have no business experience at all. This does not mean that they know how to operate the business model launched by Haihan. Regarding business risks

They also have a certain degree of disagreement with Haihan about their views. To be on the safe side, they would prefer to choose some businesses that they know something about.

The relevant discussion continued into the afternoon. The vast majority of people expressed their approval of the establishment of the chamber of commerce led by Haihan, but many people still failed to build up enough confidence in the business plan that Chen Yixin worked hard to promote. Even if they all expressed their approval,

I think the prospect of cooperation with Haihan will be very good, but I still don’t know how to start implementing these business plans.

Chen Yixin knew that there was no rush for this kind of thing, so he could only consider whether to invite professionals from the Ministry of Commerce to come to Dengzhou to give training courses to these wealthy people who did not have much trading experience and teach them some basic business knowledge.

, otherwise it is really possible for these people to ruin Haihan's good reputation for being good at business.

But after today's operation, at least these people have the intention to cooperate, which is more or less a good start. Chen Yixin does not expect all of these people to become compradors who obey Haihan, as long as he can develop three or four people from them.

A place similar to the Ma family is powerful, which is a very good result.

After seeing off these guests, Chen Yixin had time to sit down and listen to Zeng Xiaowen's report on the group of refugees leaving today. The relevant specific arrangements were handled by his subordinates, and he was only responsible for assigning tasks and reviewing the results.

"A total of 1,448 refugees left the local area by boat today, of which 1,008 were transported to Jinzhou, 320 were transported to North Korea's Taedong River Base, and the remaining 120

We took two warships heading south to Dinghai Port in Zhoushan. In addition, according to feedback from the Datong River base, the reception capacity there will soon reach the upper limit. General Wang suggested that we try to transfer refugees to other places in the future."

Regarding the situation on the other side of the Datong River, Chen Yixin also knows a thing or two. He knows that the local inconvenience in accepting Shandong refugees is because North Koreans are taboo about it. However, the current reception capacity of Fushan County is far from reaching the upper limit, so the pressure of transferring refugees is also high.

Not particularly big.

Then I heard Zeng Xiaowen continue to report: "...I received a total of 12,000 kilograms of grain shipped from Jinzhou yesterday, as well as 300 chickens and ducks each, 50 live pigs, and various medicinal materials totaling 600 kilograms.

Yu Jin, one hundred and fifty canvas tents. This is the second batch of supplies in the rescue plan you made before leaving Jinzhou. It has been sent to Refugee Camp No. 4 and No. 5. If everything goes well, the third batch of supplies will

It will be shipped in ten days."

Chen Yixin nodded slightly, indicating that he heard clearly. Before he rushed back to Shandong to take charge of the overall situation, he had already inventoried Jinzhou's material reserves and arranged to deliver food, medicine, tents and other necessities needed by the refugees to Zhifu Port in batches.

Although the material supply in Jinzhou is not abundant, it is definitely much better than the situation in Shandong. In short, some of the stored grain will be transported to Fushan County for emergency response, and then the stock will be slowly replenished from the south.

Fortunately, whether it is Jinzhou or Fushan County, both places have relatively rich marine fishery resources, so they will not be unable to find food that can be imported. As long as we survive this month and wait for the southern organization to transport food, there will be a food shortage.

The situation will be alleviated soon.

However, in terms of the current number of refugees transported, the output is obviously not as fast as the input. The number of refugees entering Fushan County every day has increased rapidly by about ten times from one to two hundred people per day at the front end. It can accommodate 500 people.

The standard refugee camp has now been built to its thirteenth year, but the construction speed has obviously failed to keep up with the growth of refugees. If the speed of transporting refugees is not accelerated, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes overcrowded.
