Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 268

The next day, early in the morning.

Taifu's house.

There are many courtyards in the mansion, the front courtyard is the main hall, the middle courtyard is the main courtyard, and the third entrance courtyard is on the left. The door plaque 'Jingping'.

This is Jingpingyuan, which is the main courtyard where Mujing is located.

The rays of the morning sun shone in from the outside, like a thin layer of gold, gently paved on top, making these quaint wooden buildings look lifelike.

"We pay our respects to the shopkeeper!" In the courtyard, the three saluted Mu Jing.

The three are the three giants of Jingping Trading Company, Zhang Heng, Xu Lin, and Sun Hao. They went to Beijing yesterday evening. After they visited Mujing, it was already night and it was getting late, so Mujing didn't meet them, but Let them rest in the mansion for the night, and after washing up today, they rushed to discuss important matters with Mu Jing.

"You three don't need to be too polite, just sit down!"

Mu Jing wore a white robe and sat cross-legged.

Looking at the three of them, he seemed a little different.

At the beginning, he exhausted all means in Wuyin to bring the three of them under his banner, but he did not expect that the three of them would achieve what they are today.

Now Jingping Trading Company is no longer the two or three kittens of the past, and as the three giants in charge of the firm, the three are different. Yin soil turtle.

But now, in just over a year, Jingping Trading Company has been able to dominate Nanyang, and has also penetrated into the counties of Jingzhou. It has already taken the shape of a behemoth, and their net worth has also risen.

As long as they are given another chance, they will become wealthy merchants in the late Han Dynasty.

"promise!"

The three heard the words and quickly found a place to sit down.

"Bring tea!" Mu Jing waved his hand, and a few girls came up to make tea for them.

There are four maidservants in Mujing's courtyard, named after spring, summer, autumn and winter. These four maids are about thirteen or fourteen years old. They are all descendants of Taiping, and they are basically confidantes taught by Zhang Ning. Multi-talented, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there must be a time, and everyone has martial arts, this is the most important thing, she is Zhang Ning's substitute maid trained by Mu Jing.

"Tea?" Zhang Heng looked at the light green tea and said, "Master, this thing is rare!"

"This tea is a tribute!"

Mu Jing said: "Some tributes from Dongzhi, the sweet and mellow tea fragrance, are the good things that many scholars in Luoyang dream of. Try it!"

In today's era, wine tasting is more important than tea tasting.

In fact, the tea ceremony has not risen yet, but there is quite a market among some literati and elegant guests.

"taste good!"

Xu Lin took a sip and said, "Ganchun, it has a unique taste!"

"Perhaps we can expand the business of tea!" Sun Hao said with a hint of his own business.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing laughed loudly: "It's still shopkeeper Sun who has a strong sense of business, as long as it is a business, he can do it, and this tea business can also be done, but whether you can let Jingping Trading Company do it, you need to discuss it yourself Yes, cost, channel, and sales direction are all very important!"

"Hehe!" Sun Hao smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head, and said, "Showing off in front of the big shopkeeper will make the big shopkeeper laugh!"

They respect Mujing as the big treasurer, but since Mujing came to Beijing, he rarely manages the affairs of the firm, but they still believe in Mujing, because Mujing not only gives them direction in the decision-making of the firm, but also teaches them The power of capital.

As the business grew bigger and bigger, their understanding of capital became more and more clear, which made them detached from ordinary merchants, and all of this was taught to them by Mujing.

"No problem!" Mu Jing waved his hand: "What I want is your show off, at least let me see that you are making progress!"

"Thank you for your exaggeration, big shopkeeper!" Sun Hao became a little complacent.

"Boss, these are some accounts of Jingping Commercial Bank in the past two years, please have a look!"

Zhang Heng is a very responsible executive manager. Mujing has been in the capital for these years. He has been in charge of Jingping Commercial Bank, but he has been in charge of everything. There has never been a single point of criticism in the accounts, which is already his success.

What he asked people to bring in was a large box of ledgers, which were written in the ancient "one-two-squatter place". Mu Jing just turned over a leaf, and shuddered a little.

"Zhang Heng, are you planning to let me read them all?" Mu Jing squinted at Zhang Heng, his eyes sparkling, and he was ready to kill him.

"Boss shopkeeper, you are the head of our Jingping Commercial Firm. How can you not know Jingping's account? Now, our Jingping Commercial Firm has a total of 230 three merchants joining in. There are countless businesses in all aspects, involving countless amounts of money. The accumulated financial resources can be imagined." You know, all of these need to be seen by the shopkeeper himself!"

Zhang Heng stood up, cupped his hands in salute, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone in our firm is looking up to the head of the shopkeeper!"

He is being faithful.

After all, Mu Jing has not been in Jingping Trading Company for many years these days, and there are some people in the company who are ready to move, and they are quite suspicious of him as a big shopkeeper. Zhang Heng is a smart person, and he deeply understands a truth. Once Jingping Trading Company leaves Mujing , Nothing, not to mention Mujing's current background, Mujing's business talent alone is no longer the Lu Buwei who became the prime minister as a merchant in the pre-Qin era.

So he can't let Mu Jing misunderstand him, he will never do such a thing that is not worth the loss.

"In our firm, all the shopkeepers are the only ones to look forward to!"

Xu Lin and Sun Hao also hurriedly clapped their hands together and said.

"okay!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this between us. Since I trust you, I won't doubt you. In the future, I don't need to do this kind of thing. Be careful, it's hard to make a big deal, let go of your worries, I won't As for the lack of capacity!"

"Thank you, Master, for your trust!"

The three breathed a sigh of relief.

Mujing was not around these years, and their authority had indeed grown a little. They were afraid that Mujing would be afraid of them, but Mujing's attitude made them feel a lot easier.

"I won't read these, but a business is a business after all, and the rules cannot be broken. If you ask me to check the accounts, I will naturally check the accounts. I will arrange some accountants to check the accounts!"

Mujing asked someone to carry these accounts down, and then said to the three of them, "Tell me about the development of the firm in the past two years. After all, I have been marching for too long, and I have forgotten my roots!"

The genius businessman, Mu Longtu, is a businessman.

"promise!"

Zhang Heng nodded, and he said something first: "In the past, Master Taifu moved into Nanyang County and was in charge of the whole county. Naturally, Jingping Trading Company took advantage of his power to enter Wancheng, the center of Nanyang, and encountered many obstacles. But we According to the teachings of the big shopkeeper, it took us a full year to gain a foothold in Wancheng, and then expand the entire counties of Nanyang. At present, we monopolize the silk market in Nanyang, the teahouse market in Nanyang, and most of the markets in Nanyang are in our Under the control of the gentry, but only the grain market, after all, it will be divided equally with the gentry!"

Jingping Commercial Bank has a lot of money and relies on the prefect's mansion to open up many markets, but only the grain market and the world's land, six to seven out of ten, are all in the hands of the gentry and gentry, and the supply of goods is restricted. This aspect is still suppressed by the gentry.

But for Zhang Heng and the others, this is already the best result. In the past, they didn't even dare to compete with the gentry, but now they can make the gentry fearful in the grain market. This is the progress of capital.

"Food is fundamental after all!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "If the firm wants to compete with the gentry in terms of capital, this must be controlled!"

In troubled times, food is better than yellow scarves.

Whoever manages the food can rise in the war and gain a foothold in the troubled times.

"I will find a way to control Nanyang's food in the name of the Chamber of Commerce as much as possible!"

Zhang Heng nodded.

"Boss, at present, the Jingping Exchange we established in Wuyin is gradually growing in scale. There are far more caravans coming and going in Wuyin than in Wancheng, and they have formed a trading market from south to north!"

After Zhang Heng, Sun Hao began to report that he was in charge of running the exchange in Wuyin. This exchange seemed to be a single project, but only the people at Jingping Commercial Company knew that what this exchange had brought them was What are the benefits: "At present, the exchange checks and balances the prices of all parties, attracting many caravans from Xichuan, Central Plains, and Xuzhou. Even some caravans from Youzhou, Hebei, who are going south to Xichuan, pass by here, and even get a lot of money here. The goods they want to go to Xichuan to buy, thus saving travel expenses, so more and more merchants are attracted, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. Although the location of Wuyin Land is good, it may not be able to bear the load recently. So I want to ask the shopkeeper to split another area and rebuild the exchange!"

"Wuyin is Wuyin, you can build one in the west of Nanyang!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it is very important to build a Yangtze River waterway in Jingzhou. In Wuyin, the terrain is a bit insufficient after all!"

"Jingzhou?" Sun Hao said, "I'm afraid we won't reject it!"

"It's the gentry who are rejected, and there are merchants in Jingzhou!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice, "Learn to cooperate with them. Merchant is different. You don't need to dominate, just need a win-win situation!"

"Win-win?"

Sun Hao somewhat understood what Mujing meant.

"Boss, at present we have four papermaking and printing workshops in Nanyang, one in Wancheng, one in Wuyin, one in Xi'e, and one in Xinye. According to the proposal of the big shopkeeper, the four workshops cost a total of five hundred yuan. The size of a long-term worker!"

Xu Lin is in charge of the workshop. He is better at manufacturing ordnance. The printing workshop is just one of them, and it is more of a cover for the military factory: "In addition, I have used the funds of the business firm to establish two large-scale weapons and armor manufacturing factories. The workshop, but it still takes time, what we lack the most are craftsmen, the craftsmen of the Xu family can't even support half of the workshop, whether it is the printing workshop, or the ordnance workshop of the Xu family, there is a lack of craftsmen!"

"There is a lack of artisans everywhere!"

Mujing smiled wryly: "If you look for me, I can't give you any craftsmen!"
