Chapter 92 Membership
A group of businessmen looked at Xiao Ming, and there was a brief silence after Xiao Ming's words fell.
In the end, Ding Wanquan spoke first. He said, "His Royal Highness said that he can't easily agree, which means that I still have a chance, and I hope His Highness can make it clear."
"I also hope that His Highness will make it clear." The other businessmen said at the same time.
Xiao Ming glanced at Ding Wanquan, this old boy is really observant, no wonder he has so many family business, but he is not so easy to fool.
"You have seen this glass, how much is it worth? You must already have your own measure in your heart. If you sell it, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Great Yu Kingdom, and it will also accumulate a lot of wealth." Xiao Ming said.
The merchants looked at each other and nodded.
Xiao Ming continued: "The production cost of this glass is extremely high. If it is handed over to you at this time, this king will also lose a lot."
The statement that glass is expensive is false, but it is easy to believe it because glass is so unusual to them.
Seeing Xiao Ming's embarrassed look, Ding Wanquan said at this time, "Your Highness, if Your Highness allows us to wait for the sale, we will certainly not let His Highness suffer, and we can buy the right to sell."
"That's right, Your Highness, as long as Your Highness speaks, we still have money." The merchants said one after another.
Xiao Ming nodded at this time, "Although this is the case, I am afraid that this king will not be able to provide so much glass at once. I am ashamed to say that there is really a lack of available craftsmen in this king's fief, which is also the reason for the slow glass production."
"It turns out that, Your Highness, there are many slave craftsmen in my Zhou family. If Your Highness needs it, I will send it to Your Highness." said the merchant of King Liang's fief.
Another businessman said, "I can report this matter to the King of Huainan and ask His Royal Highness the King of Huainan to draw out some slave craftsmen."
"..."
All the businessmen, every word I said, expressed their goodwill to Xiao Ming one after another.
They were talking about slave craftsmen. It was very simple. Xiao Ming was not worried when a free craftsman brought it over.
Xiao Ming deliberately frowned and thought for a while, he said: "Since you are so sincere, I can promise to open the glass sales to you five months in advance, but this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from other businessmen, it is better for you to upgrade to a chamber of commerce. member."
"Member?" The merchants suddenly showed a strange look.
Xiao Ming smiled and said: "This is the next policy the Chamber of Commerce is going to implement. This king divides the merchants in the Chamber of Commerce into ordinary members, intermediate members, senior members, bronze members, silver members, gold members, deacons, and elders according to their contributions to the chamber of commerce. , the vice-chairman of eight ranks."
"What does this contribution refer to?" a businessman asked.
Xiao Ming said: "This chamber of commerce was created by this king, for the prosperity of the king's fief and to build a free commercial capital. This contribution is naturally a contribution to the construction of a commercial city. As for the contribution, there are many categories, among which the trade in the chamber of commerce The total amount of silver taels can be regarded as a basic contribution, and the provision of craftsmen, food, ores for the chamber of commerce can also be combined into contributions, and when the contribution value reaches a certain number, one can be promoted to a higher-level member, and at the same time enjoy more conveniences of the chamber of commerce.”
When the businessmen heard this, they immediately fell into thought.
Xiao Ming continued to explain, "Vice president, elders, and deacon-level members will be able to get all the products of Qingzhou in the future, and the purchase price can also get the maximum discount, and also have some management rights of the chamber of commerce, specific policies, This king will be handed over to Li Kaiyuan."
This membership system is a modern, extremely profitable system, with the purpose of maximizing profits while attracting a group of high-quality consumers.
Now Xiao Ming is using this method. With his current strength, he cannot take care of every businessman. Because the cost is too high, he needs to take care of a group of high-quality businessmen, and these businessmen will then cooperate with other small businessmen.
Moreover, the introduction of the membership system will make these big businessmen desperately climb up in exchange for greater profit margins, but the contribution value required by this class is also huge.
When they climbed up, Xiao Ming also made a lot of money.
Moreover, once they entered the pit, these merchants would be tied to the chariot of the Chamber of Commerce. Not only the merchants of Qingzhou, but also the merchants of the entire Great Yu Kingdom to do things for themselves.
"Get it immediately." A businessman is tempted.
Xiao Ming continued to throw his chips, "It's more than just getting the goods first-hand. In the future, some technical crafts will also be sold according to the membership level."
This temptation was thrown, and the businessman sitting below could no longer be calm.
The sale of technology will also mean that businessmen with high status in the chamber of commerce will get the technology first, and businessmen with low status can only envy.
Xiao Ming looked at these businessmen calmly and waited for them to "recharge".
After a while, Ding Wanquan suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to give 2 million taels of silver, 100,000 stone grains, and 5,000 craftsmen and slaves to the Chamber of Commerce."
"As expected of Ding Yuanwai, he is indeed heroic. According to Ding Yuanwai's contribution this time, Ding Yuanwai can be directly promoted to a senior member. In this way, this glass Ding Yuanwai can get it in two months." Xiao Ming provoked a big question. Thumb, this Ding Wanquan is directly spending money to buy membership levels, rather than relying on transactions within the chamber of commerce to improve the level step by step.
He didn't see that Ding Wanquan was still in a hurry.
"You can get it in two months." Other businessmen immediately frowned. They were not members at this time, and it still took six months to get the glass.
Ding Wanquan was overjoyed, and glanced at the other businessmen with some pride.
"I will also give two million taels of silver." A merchant stood up and shouted.
"I've made 10,000 craftsmen."
"I produce 100,000 catties of iron ore."
"..."
The merchants stood up one by one. For the rank of this member, they also fought hard and donated their best resources into the chamber of commerce.
Xiao Ming's face was calm, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart. The modern membership Dafa is really easy to use. For the special status of the chamber of commerce and more rights and interests, businessmen who were severely seized by users' psychology were trapped.
"Everyone come one by one, don't be in a hurry, Luluo will take a pen and write down the things donated by all the members and give them to Li Kaiyuan." Xiao Ming said.
Luluo picked up the pen and started recording at Xiao Ming's side. She was still ignorant. She didn't know what method Xiao Ming used to make these businessmen donate money and materials like chicken blood.
Noisily, after a while, Luluo wrote down all the things donated by the businessman in the seat. Xiao Ming counted it, and was surprised.
These people have all reached the level of senior members, which means that he will open glass sales to them in two months.
But for him, the things he got this time are enough to make up for his losses. Nine million taels of silver, five million stone grains, some iron and steel, 30,000 slave craftsmen, 100,000 coolie slaves, silk cloth Five thousand horses, one thousand horses, and a lot of other messy things, he made a lot of money.
