Section 2007 New Year's Plan

At this moment, Li Cong and Wu Zuoxi were drinking together in the pavilion. They never expected that things would go so smoothly. Just a year ago, the old man in front of him was still making things difficult for him, saying that he No, that won't work either. I didn't expect that I already believed in myself very much now, and Wu Zuoxi was also very confident in my own vision, but I didn't expect that Li Cong could do it so beautifully this time. All the plans were being carried out quickly, and there was no A failure, in fact, what he didn't know, Li Cong's current brain is of course different from that of people in their era, and the things Li Cong thinks are also different from what they think. Things they can't see Li Cong It can be seen from this, and he can even see what happened in the next few hundred years. Of course, doing things like this can be successful. m

Many people have said that if a person can live backwards, he can become a great man. Now Li Cong can do it. Let’s go to this point. Li Cong is that great man. He has foreseen the results of everything he has done. Will it fail? Only people like Wu Zuoxi will worry you at the beginning, but from now on he doesn't need to worry, he just needs to do his job well.

"You kid has no rules at all. I remember that when I was talking to you a year ago, I was so worried that I was afraid that you would lose such a good situation. I didn't expect that a year had passed. One day is the same, I can’t even recognize how this era has unfolded? Wu Zuoxi stroked his beard and said, his mood was the same as what he just said. I didn’t believe that these things would unfold like this. But the facts tell him that all this is true.

"I remember that you were very worried at that time, and you didn't idle for a minute with this warning and that warning. I didn't expect you to admit defeat now. Old Wu, you really made me look up to you." Li Cong laughed He said, he thought it would be difficult for a person with a relatively high IQ like Wu Zuoxi to admit defeat, but he didn't expect that this person would admit defeat to himself when he really lost.

These are also a few places where Li Tong admires Wu Zuoxi very much. If he is wrong, he is wrong. He is not like other people, even if he is wrong, he will argue that he is not at fault. What you do is right. Wu Zuoxi did not do this, which is one of the reasons why she can succeed. Cao's House is under his overall control, so to speak. It has reached the speed of the past % and is advancing. This is also what Li never thought of. Both of them can be said to be heroes respecting heroes, and they are the kind of talented people who cooperate with people like them to exert the effect of 1 plus 1 greater than two. Now they are discussing some comprehensive military, political and economic matters, which is also what Cao's firm will continue to do in the next year. What the two of them want to discuss may affect the progress of the entire continent.

"Old Wu, our affairs are now on the right track. I think you should have a general direction for how to develop next. I am a little lost in my direction now. Why don't you give me some suggestions." Li Congduan started His wine glass said that the success in this area really made him a little bit elated. I really want to know, what is Wu Zuoxi's opinion? Wu Zuoxi happens to be a person who is very suitable for giving advice. He is considered a senior staff member, but he knows everything about Li Cong. In the past, Wu Zuoxi was also a person in power, so he did not have the hesitation mentality of those staff members. ,

Such people come to follow me and I really make money. I, for Li Cong, Wu Zuoxi also admires Li Cong very much from the bottom of my heart. If a high-ranking person can't listen to other people's opinions, then he will not be far from failure. Li Cong is Can listen to people's opinions very well.

No matter how noble or humble you are, as long as your opinion is useful, you will basically accept it. Of course, he may only hear this opinion in his own mind. Will put it into practice, what will happen in the end? His own brain will have its own judgment. Wu Zuoxi put down his teacup, looked at the distant sky and then at Li Cong. This person is like a cloud in the sky. , maybe drifting here or running there, I will never know what he is thinking in his heart? However, being able to cooperate with such a person can be regarded as the greatest happiness in my life. I can make some contributions to her future affairs, which can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in history, which is better than when I was in the Western Empire. He was even happier when he was prime minister, Wu Zuoxi admitted without hesitation.

"Our next goal should be said to be not very clear, because all aspects of things have now reached a bottleneck. It is impossible to develop as much as when we first started, especially economically. Economically, we The development of this point has reached a very large level. It is impossible for us to continue to develop in any country. In addition to their governments, even other businessmen in the major empires are beginning to boycott us. As far as the Western Empire is concerned, as far as I know, fifty big merchants have formed a very powerful alliance. Alas, against the alliance of Cao's House of Commerce, the banner they played is also very simple to prevent themselves from being annexed. In one year, Cao's House of Commerce annexed more than a dozen large shopping malls, which made them feel the crisis. These commercial houses are the lifeblood of their survival. It doesn't mean that they can sell them for any amount of money. He didn't expect It’s also how to live in the future.”

Wu Zuoxi said thoughtfully, these things are not easy to handle? So it has to be said. Li Cong nodded and obviously agreed with this matter, because he also saw from the reports of various streets that businesses everywhere are struggling, and small-scale expansion is impossible. Besides, the living space is also limited. If you occupy a part of the living space, others will have no way to survive. It is only natural for these people to resist you.

"I understand all the things you said, but can't we, are we looking for another way out? We can't stop here and do nothing in the next year, if that's the case. I think we I am afraid that the efforts I have made over the past year will be in vain." Li Cong said with some worry that it is no wonder that all the steps have come to a stop or have slowed down significantly in the past half month, and a quick-tempered person like Li Cong is definitely not happy. of.

"This is impossible. We have to develop. This cannot be developed in our existing industries. Take your silver building as an example. I don't know much about the situation in other empires, but I don't know much about the situation in the Western Empire. I know a lot. The 20 largest firms in the Western Empire have all united. They can’t pretend to be innocent in front of you, and they can’t go to your bank to get a loan. No matter how low your bank’s interest rate is, None of them will do this. Let’s look at the first thing we have to do is to disintegrate this alliance. Their alliance name is also very interesting called the Anti-Cao Alliance. Do you know why? Because of your surname and your business Call Cao's House and they want to oppose you. That's why we formed such an alliance. The first thing we have to do now is to disintegrate this alliance, so that he has no strength to stand on the opposite side of us and become our opponent. This is what we want made."

Wu Zuoxi is definitely not an ordinary person. He quickly found the fundamental direction of the matter. At this time, Li Cong's mind suddenly became clear. Yes, since others are going to oppose him, why should he stand here and let others oppose him? What he should do is Want to break this alliance against yourself? Starting from the East and West Empire, starting from the place Wu Zuoxi is most familiar with, if these twenty largest firms suffer losses, receive very heavy losses, and make them feel pain and discomfort, will they disband at that time? Easier said than done. When the 20 firms have a long history, many of them have supporters from the court. They are all people with no background. If you eat them, you have to look at yourself. Do you have that diamond? Li Cong looked at Wu Zuoxi again, this person will definitely have a solution.

"What are you looking at me for? I think I am your coolie now. As long as you have no ideas, come back to me. This kind of thing really makes me feel tired, but there are some things I can't do now, just take As far as the society of the Western Empire is concerned, although their combination seems solid, it is easy to find faults. Didn't they compete with the twenty largest firms in the Western Empire before? Of course they did, we It's just a matter of finding the two most fiercely fighting among these twenty firms, and supporting one of them, and molesting the other. Now that they are all under the same alliance, of course they will hide their former edges and corners. Come on, but as long as we support one family and can completely defeat the other family, will they let go of such an opportunity? That is impossible, plus their backstage in the imperial court, as long as both sides are fighting, it is not an alliance or an alliance He might not care about it."

Wu Zuoxi is definitely very good at calculating people. A few words may disintegrate one of the largest business alliances in the Western Empire. Li Cong stretched out his thumb. This old and cunning old fox is very powerful. The business alliance of time allows him to solve it in a moment. This business alliance has brought huge losses to Li Cong. The funds controlled by the entire business alliance are as high as trillions of silver. What a big loss, this is all right, as long as you continue to play, I can start from your weakest place, win over one or defeat one, this is all your loss, Li Cong is happy Pour wine for Wu Zuoxi, he has this qualification,? There are not many people who have this qualification, and Wu Zuoxi is definitely the best among the few.

"Actually, you just haven't calmed down about this matter. If you calm down, you may think more carefully than me. I have always been inferior to you in business. I can see farther than you, that is, I am a few years older than you. Is it only 2 years old? If the two of us really have brains, I might not be able to compete with you. This business alliance seems huge, but there are too many conflicts between them. It’s just that you didn’t waste your time here. What I’m looking at is that this continent is too comprehensive and I want to see it, which is one of its aspects.” Wu Zuoxi took a sip of Li Cong’s upside-down wine and said, this glass of wine seems to taste the same as the glass of wine just now It's just that the props may be different, so the mood in my heart will be different. My own mood now is very comfortable.

"What you said may be suitable for me to make some big directions, but in terms of details, I just can't add eight horses to you. Our two personalities can also complement each other." Li Cong He said with a smile, for Wu Zuoxi, does Li Cong admire such a person from the bottom of his heart? It would be great if such a person could help me for the rest of my life. Looking at him now, he has no other bosses, so of course he will help me, and I will continue to maintain this kind of cooperative relationship. The business alliance of the Western Empire can still of. "

Well, since you have proposed a method, we will follow your method. Is there anything I can do to cooperate? " Li Tong said.

"Of course you need your cooperation, first of all financial support. There are two commercial firms here. I have already investigated clearly. They are all engaged in the cloth business. In the past, most of them imported cloth from the south of the Northern Empire, and then It was sold in the Western Empire. This is also a cross-border trade because the distance is not very far. So it didn’t attract our attention. You know the south of the Northern Empire best.”

Wu Zuoxi was not wrong in saying this. The south of the Northern Empire can be regarded as the headquarters of the Cao family firm. Where are all the provinces that Li can't control? Since it is a business related to cloth and leather. Li Cong can control everything. In the past, Li Cong's cheap father, what did Cao Zheng do, that is, Jiangning Weaving, what was he in charge of? It’s the cloth business. Those old relationships in the past are now trying to curry favor with Li Cong, but because Li Cong’s head is elsewhere, he will no longer do the cloth business. Now it’s very easy to go back and do it It is a very simple matter for Mr. Li to master the export of a raw material on his own site to curb the other two firms. He immediately wrote down this matter, and he didn't even need to do it himself. Let, one of my subordinates is enough, you are still very young if you want to fight yourself.

The cloth business is actually a long-lasting industry in history, but the profit of this industry is not very much? For a long time, this profit was still acceptable, but now this profit has been considered very small. The pillar industry of these two major commercial firms is the cloth business, including some silk, satin and fur, etc., no matter how they change. It is on this point that it is very easy for Li Cong to support one of them. He only needs to lower the price of raw materials, and then cut off the supply of raw materials to the other company. Imported on the site, as long as Li Cong wants to deal with them, they have no way to alleviate this matter at all, and another relatively powerful firm will turn around and eat up this firm that has been reduced to a firm at this time. It is a very normal thing in history.

And now their struggle may bring down the entire alliance, because when the alliance was first established, it said that it would abandon its internal prejudices and fight against Cao's firm in an all-round way. Now they don't think that way at all. The most important thing is to annex the other party. This is not very good. Some other companies in the entire alliance will also feel that they are in danger. They put down their rear and stand in a row with these people. At that time, someone suddenly reached out from behind and stabbed themselves. When they thought of such a thing, they felt scared. The matter about the alliance of the Western Empire was basically settled in this way. Li Conggen and Wu Zuoxi quickly turned to the next topic , the next topic has something to do with Li Congxing's new jewelry industry. Because Li Cong can cultivate pearls, Cao's House began to enter on a large scale.

The jewelry industry is not as good as they think it is at this stage, nor is it as good as they think. Although the profit is huge, the loss of customers is very serious. At present, the Northern Empire has formed such a situation. Rich businessmen don't want to spend in the jewelry store of Cao's Commercial Bank. Although the jewelry store of Cao's Commercial Bank is fashionable and has enough portions, their family is fighting against Cao's Commercial Bank. How can they go to the store of Cao's Commercial Bank? Do you want to spend money here, let Cao's house earn your own shadow, and go to the front to fight with your husband, your father, your younger brother, and your elder brother? That's impossible, these ladies also have their own ideas, as long as they don't support the Cao's House of Commerce, some of the products of the Cao's House of Commerce can't be sold at all, because the jewelry store positioning of the Cao's House of Commerce was too The high-end has never thought about doing business with ordinary people.

What's more, in this era, it is the greatest happiness for ordinary people to have enough food. They don't have any spare money to buy things like jewelry. Even the cheapest jewelry is unaffordable in their eyes, just buy more gold and silver jewelry, these gold jewelry don't have much profit at all, even if they buy these things, they can't help Li Congshang ? After these two months, the jewelry industry of Cao's Commercial Bank has been in trouble. In these two months, not only did they not make a profit for a car, but they also lost nearly ten thousand taels of silver. Although the amount is not large, it used to be every It can make a profit of hundreds of billions of silver every month, but now it is losing millions, which shows a big problem. The hearts of these noble ladies are really neat.

The wives and ladies in these dignitaries' homes didn't notice it before. I thought they were just following the trend, but I didn't expect that this time we would be taken care of. Li Congwu said after taking a sip of wine, he never thought that these people could endure the charm of jewelry. Maybe it's because people in this era don't know much about it.

Wu Zuoxi laughed happily. Then said. "You kid, that is, you don't know much about people in this era? Women in this era rely on men, but it is very important. They rely on their parents and brothers at home, and their husbands and sons outside. You put their Parents, brothers, husband and son have all been offended, and you still want people to come to your store to buy your things and make you money, isn't your idea too selfish?" Wu Zuoxi said with a smile. After Li Cong listened to it, he also felt that his idea was really selfish.

"Let me tell you a story, which may make you understand better. I know a businessman. His daughter and daughter-in-law were regular customers of your Cao's jewelry business before, and they were also members of your company. Their one-year I just bought several million taels of silver in your jewelry store. Of course, this is directly related to the money in their family. You also know them at home. They are the very capital of the Western Empire. A well-known family, their family is very popular in the grain business, and their family runs grain business in more than a dozen provinces. They used to be called the king of grain, but since you came, their grain business There is no one in front of the business, why? Your food is delicious and competitive. Others’ food is not competitive. In the past, they could earn so much money every year, but now they can’t earn that much Money, it’s all because of your food that people can’t make this money. What are you doing? I have to go to your store to buy things. Do you think everyone is a fool? Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, Li Cong at this time It is understood that I have cut off the livelihood of the family, and the family has no income. How can I spend millions of taels of silver every month to buy things in my jewelry store? Funny thing, it seems that it is impossible to reconcile this matter, but I have invested a huge amount of money, manpower and material resources in the jewelry industry, should I declare bankruptcy and close them, that is absolutely No, let’s not talk about the inner heart, even the hundreds of thousands of people inside will have problems in their livelihood in the future. They didn’t have a happy ending with the Cao’s firm. What do the hundreds of millions of people think? Do you sacrifice your life for yourself?

"Why don't you stop making sarcastic remarks. This scene is the same as when we met a year ago. I am ambitiously telling about my own plan. No matter how hard you hit me, don't say that what you just said didn't hit me. The most important thing is that I was hit by you. Now I can't control the jewelry business. You have to give me an idea, otherwise I will face a loss of trillions of silver. I can't afford to lose this money, you know Money is being used everywhere now, and many of our plans use money in a lot of places, especially in terms of mortgages and loans. If I encounter such a big loss at this time, I will at least lose trillions of dollars. He may not be able to spit out other funds, and if he affects other things, he may not be able to do things. It is also problematic for our long-term plan, and you have to find a way." When Li Cong talked about trouble, he directly pushed it to Wu Zuoxi.

"Are all bosses like this? They don't use their brains when they encounter problems, are they afraid of hurting your own brain cells? Are my brain cells brain cells? I'm an old man, and I'm older than you There are a lot." Wu Zuoxi stood up and said exaggeratedly, but seeing Li Cong's bored face, he sat down helplessly, this kid certainly doesn't care what he thinks? Wu Zuoxi thought for a while and said, the jewelry business was not your core industry before. It's just that his profits are huge, so you continue to do it. From my point of view, there is no need to operate the jewelry business. The influence of the jewelry business on the common people can be said to be dispensable. It is just a little more famous. The high society has a good reputation, and it’s just to let the ladies in the high society know you. From my point of view, it’s better for you to sell this part of your products. Although you will lose money, you will definitely not be able to reach it. Hundreds of trillions of silver. "

Wu Zuoxi went on to say, "And I've seen lots of places in many places. They are all good places. You can change to another brand to do other business. I think the trading house is very good. The mercenaries who hang out in the Warcraft Mountains and other places I don’t care if your Cao’s House of Commerce will eat up the entire continent. From their point of view, it’s just that the things from the Warcraft Mountains are brought out, and then sold to your trading company for silver for them to eat, drink and have fun. Yes. I don’t know what you think of my proposal? Wu Zuoxi said it. Obviously Li Cong is not very satisfied with his proposal. If I can close the door, why should I listen to your opinion? I have already closed the door. No need to waste so much thought, Li Cong shook his head and said. I am not satisfied with this proposal. If I want to close the door, I will not ask you again. I come to ask you because I hope you can give me A correct suggestion, how correct suggestion is to allow me to continue to operate without loss."

"You are a person who is too lofty in doing things. You don't want to give up any aspect, and you don't want to spit out any aspect that is already in two places."

Wu Zuoxi said helplessly that when he was young, he had the same idea as Li Cong. Since it was already an occupied position, why did he let himself out? I am not at fault for anything? Since we have difficulties, we have to solve them, but now that I am older, he knows what kind of things should be discarded and what should not be discarded. At this time, Li Cong must give up some things. It should be what Li Cong discarded. His current energy is limited. If he doesn't want to throw away this one or keep the last thing he throws away, it may be bigger. Li Cong himself should understand this problem. It's a pity that the young man now, Blinded by greed, he didn't want to give up this jewel at all. It's no wonder that the profits given to him by the jewelry store in the past were too great, especially at this time, cultured pearls are completely different from looking for pearls in Haili. It's different, the profit is over a thousand times!

"How should I put it? From the inside to the time, I also know that what you said is right from a rational point of view. I should discard these things, because he has no effect on my future hegemony, and only provides me with money. Just one source of income, I don’t lack this source of income now, I have a source of brokerage, but from my feeling, I have devoted a lot of effort to this thing, and I don’t want to just take it out like this, I don’t know if you have it Do you have any other suggestions?" Li never reconciledly said, although the status of this jewelry store is not very good, but it has invested too much, Li never wanted to lose it like this, Wu Zuoxi shook his head and now he has no better Method.

Both of them were thinking about the problem and didn't speak. After about five minutes, both of them raised their heads, and both of them said at the same time, "Supplier, they all figured it out, especially Li Cong figured it out." Since it is not possible to do retail, then I can do batching. Although retailing is the most profitable part, but there are many things in all aspects of business that are exposed to the public. To be a wholesaler by yourself, you can save a lot of things in the middle ? Thinking of this, Li Cong happily clapped his hands with Wu Zuoxi, and they had a good understanding. Although this word used on a man made Li Cong feel uncomfortable, it was still done that way after all, and it was indeed very good. Yes, in this way, the jewelry store of Cao's House of Merchant gradually transformed from a large-scale retailer to a wholesaler.

Retailers have the advantages of retailers, wholesalers also have the advantages of wholesalers, retailers also have the disadvantages of retailers, wholesalers can also avoid these disadvantages, for example, every retail store must have a good-looking concierge, this door face Houses are very valuable. Take some jewelry stores now as an example. If you don’t invest millions of taels of silver, no one will go in and have a look. Li Cong is taking the high-end route. More can't be less, if one chooses to end so many jewelry lines. Not to mention that he can recover a lot of money just by selling the land. Of course, Li Cong is not a short-sighted person. Since the land is so rich, he can rent it out and collect the rent. Those who have a lot of money are not short of money, so why do they need so much money? Slowly wait for it to appreciate in value, and he won't do things like killing chickens to get eggs.

In the past, some of the competitors who were in the jewelry business knew it themselves. Now they want to change from their competitors to their own friends. This requires the following shopkeepers to sort out their minds. Before you Don’t provoke you if you have a festival with others. If you have a festival, but it can be resolved, then go to work to sell to others. Your friends will have to sell even more. If you lower your own price by 1%, you don’t want this 1% profit, then you can sell ten times the original goods in a day, this is the difference between a wholesaler and a retailer. You also thought that you must greet all the shopkeepers of these jewelers together. They may be a very good dispenser for retailers. But it's not so good to be a wholesaler. They have to change their brains and their own brains quickly, otherwise they won't suffer the loss. I don't want to suffer this loss, I don't want my Cao's firm to suffer this loss.

"These things really didn't go well one after another. It's no wonder that the development of this year was so fast. No one regarded us as an enemy in a year. Those who regard us as enemies now are really There are too many, I am a little overwhelmed, if there is a way to let them all go directly, I don't want to find these troubles every day." After reading these things, Li Cong lay down weakly and said, He is also really tired. In such a continent, he used to say that he ruled thousands of times, and he didn't want to use his own brain to think about these things, but now he has no other way to think about these things. He has to To work hard in this direction, it’s fine that he didn’t say a lot of things himself, and it’s a kind of happiness to be able to talk to Wu Zuoxi about what’s in his heart. At least someone can understand it, and someone can help him resolve it. Without this person, that is the greatest tragedy in life.

"Hehe, in fact, there is a once-and-for-all solution to this matter, but you didn't think of it before, and I came to you this time to be another person's lobbyist," Wu Zuoxi said, and you were vigilant with your instinct. It is impossible for a person like Wu Zuoxi to be used by him for a long time. I also thought about it at the beginning, but I didn't expect that he would have a new backer in a year? Wu Zuoxi was also the same person who felt Li Cong's vigilance towards him. He then said, don't misunderstand that I will help you with things since I am on your body and I won't find another boss. What I said is true to you and to him. Good thing, you know that the person who came to cooperate with you is the magician union, and it is the magician union of the three empires. Magicians have always been a very rare profession, and they are all like-minded. It can be said that there are very few people who are traitors among magicians. The connection with the Magicians Union is very close. You are a magician yourself. Why don't you cooperate with them well. "

Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, the matter is just as he said, he did not betray you to vote, but he has his own relationship with the Magicians Chamber of Commerce, and he can be regarded as his friend, he will come over and have a good talk with you Why not? On the surface, the Magician's Guild doesn't seem to have any ambitions, but do they really have no games as they show? That is absolutely impossible, the magician union also has its own ideas, each of these magicians also has their own ideas, they also want to call the wind and rain on this continent, although they have reached it now, but the three major The empire and the pliers will slowly get stuck in them. They don't have this freedom anymore, and they feel very uncomfortable. Now they have also seen the potential of Cao's House of Commerce, and they also know that if he cooperates with Cao's House of Commerce , they may now have the same strength as the Three Great Empires. Although Cao's House of Merchant may be a more powerful thing, but now it's up to him, there is a chance to do it.

"It's not impossible to cooperate with the Magician's Guild. In fact, in my opinion, the Magician's Guild is much better than the Three Great Empires. At least I am also a magician. Just like you said, I will actually cooperate with the Three Great Empires." It’s a bit far-fetched. The Mage Union is recognized as the second largest force, but compared with the governments of the three empires, they still have a lot of gaps. Now there are branches of the Mage Union in every city, but their strength is really strong. Can it be the same as the government? It is absolutely impossible, the number of magicians is still too small, it would be great if a large area of ​​magicians are cultivated." Li Cong said to himself, and his words will be taken into account when the time comes. Wu Zuoxi was so frightened that he even wanted to train a magician. What was going on in this person's mind? He already knew that some fighters would often pop up. He felt that Li Cong would have some happy training methods to make fighters come out, but it is absolutely impossible to let magicians come out with fast training methods.

"Don't be too whimsical, kid, okay? Magicians are very rare now. If you can train such a big magician, you will be a wonderful work in the whole continent. Then maybe the three major empires, including the current East The empire and they will all unite against you, even the Magicians Guild will unite against you. The current status of magicians is of course because of them, and the reason for the small number is that you can train them on a large scale. The Magician's Union." Wu Zuoxi quickly killed Li Cong's idea, and Li Cong was also taken aback by his own idea at this time. Although the magician said that he hoped that there would be more magicians in the whole mainland, As long as there are really too many magicians, they will of course be unhappy in their hearts, because their status is challenged, which is uncomfortable for anyone, and happiness will be much more, Li Since he understands his own truth, it is as if he is a pharmacist, and he is often complacent about being a pharmacist.

It seems that when I do things, I often think too anxiously. It would be very good if I can change my personality. Many times Li Cong also hates his personality very much, but such Things should not be taken for granted. Most of the time, one's nature is something one is born with. This is not given to oneself by others, nor can it be corrected by oneself. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
