There is only the Chamber of Commerce founded by Qin Wu in Da Zhou, and their chamber of commerce deals with things that are closely related to people's livelihood.
Qin Yinnuan came to the Chamber of Commerce for cooperation because she lacked various daily necessities, especially food.
She took on the task of preparing supplies for Bei Liao, the first thing to do was to get food and warm clothes.
Qin Yinnuan has asked people to buy duck and goose feathers everywhere.
People in the past didn’t know that you could make money from duck and goose feathers, so they would buy them for a copper coin.
But Qin Yinnuan had someone buy this stuff in the past two days, and she had already asked Gong Shang to find someone to promote the value of goose feathers and duck feathers.
Ordinary people who had duck feathers and goose feathers in their hands started to raise the price immediately after slaughtering ducks and geese.
Things that were originally worthless have now risen in price to seven or eight copper coins.
However, the weather is extremely cold now, and there is a shortage of food and vegetables. People are reluctant to slaughter their chickens, ducks and geese unless it is absolutely necessary, which results in a small amount of duck and goose feathers collected.
Moreover, not all duck and goose feathers can be used, so it is extremely difficult to make a down jacket from them.
...
...
But Qin Yinnuan obviously didn't think so. She sought cooperation with Gong Shang to have the products processed into down jackets.
Qin Yinnuan offered seventy cents for a piece of garment, excluding the fabric and labor cost.
This price is relatively high.
Qin Yinnuan also wanted to purchase more grains and vegetables at wholesale prices, saying that she wanted to make some dry food packages and shrink-wrapped noodles.
Gong Shang had never heard of these dry ingredient packets and dried noodles.
According to Qin Yinnuan's description, this thing can be eaten directly after being soaked in hot water, and it is convenient to carry and cook.
Very novel.
This time, Gong Shang had contact with Qin Yinnuan. He felt that her ideas were novel and indeed ingenious. No wonder she was valued by the emperor.
However, it is doubtful whether this thing is difficult to make and whether it can be done successfully.
But if successful, it will indeed be of great help in solving the problem of food and wages for frontier soldiers.
Qin Wu and Qin Yinnuan didn't get along, and Gong Shang didn't agree directly, saying that he would think about it for a day. Qin Wu happened to come, so he let her make the decision first.
Qin Yinnuan is not from this world. She has many secrets and things she has never seen.
If you want to get that knowledge from her, she will certainly not refuse to cooperate.
What's more, if she has something, she has the initiative.
No matter how many ideas Qin Yinnuan had, if she had no money, no people, and no things, she would be unable to move forward and would have to kneel down and cooperate with her Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Qin Wu wanted Qi Xiuzhe not to divorce her, so she would stay at Qi's house for a while longer to force him to divorce. At the same time, she could also have more contact with Qin Yinnuan and find out more of her secrets.
But now there is no need for that. As long as she cooperates with the Chamber of Commerce, she will have plenty of ways to get things from Qin Yinnuan that she has never heard of.
Of course, if we cooperate, we will have exploitation.
"Of course we have to cooperate." Qin Wu took a sip of tea and said to Gong Shang, "But she has to accept our conditions."
She had to tell them her production line and methods, and let them produce it.
They can provide her with what they produce, and they can pay her the cost price for what they produce, without making any profit from her.
Of course, the Chamber of Commerce has the final say on the cost price and whether the business makes a profit or not. After all, the materials and employees are theirs.
"Will Qin Yinnuan agree to such harsh conditions?" Gong Shang is an expert in business and knows very well that technology is the most important thing in production. If you can provide technology, you can make money.
If the technology is passed on to them, Qin Yinnuan can only get things from them at cost price. On the surface, it seems that Qin Yinnuan has not lost anything, but for their Chamber of Commerce, it is a big profit.
"She had no choice because she couldn't afford to hire someone to run the workshop."
Qin Wu knows better than anyone how much money the Qin family has.
The fields, shops and gold and silver jewelry left by Prime Minister Qin's wife totaled less than two million yuan.
Ever since Prime Minister Qin's wife fell ill, the Qin family has been in a situation where their income is not enough to cover their expenses.
Prime Minister Qin sat in a high position and was under great scrutiny. In the past, Prime Minister Qin's wife had laundered money of unknown origin into his account.
But later, the Prime Minister's wife became more and more ill, and she had no time to take care of these things.
Qin Wu didn't know how much of the dirty bribes given to Prime Minister Qin had been hidden, but she knew how much was on the Qin family's books.
Last time, Prime Minister Qin was fined one million taels by the emperor.
Now Qin Sujin was fined another three million taels by the emperor.
I’m afraid the Qin family’s treasury doesn’t have the money to pay compensation.
Even if Qin Yinnuan had the ability to collect three million silver coins, without Prime Minister Qin giving the silver he had embezzled to Qin Yinnuan, she would have a hard time this winter, not to mention completing the task of sending food, fodder and clothing to Bei Liao for the winter.
After all, each ounce of silver approved by the Ministry of Revenue must be divided into at least five halves.
She was waiting for Qin Yinnuan to suffer.
After listening to Qin Wu's plan, Gong Shang's dull face showed a rare smile, "I thought the president would suffer a loss at the hands of Qin Yinnuan, I was overthinking it."
"After the president left the Qin family, he will finally not be constrained by the Qin family. He no longer needs to worry about the Qin family or worry about dealing with Qin Yinnuan."
When Gong Shang first met Qin Wu, he felt that the Qin family did not treat her sincerely.
She was working hard in business, but the Qin family was unaware of it and would not allow her to do such business things that would lower her status. Qin Wu had been secretly starting from scratch all along.
It seems that the Qin family gave her some start-up capital.
But later, almost all the money she earned was used to subsidize the Qin family's household expenses.
Qin Sumu has been weak and sickly since he was born, and the medicinal materials he needed were very expensive. At the beginning, Qin Wu spent a lot of money to buy the medicine.
Later, she recruited a large number of herbal farmers to grow expensive medicinal herbs for her, and only then was she able to lower the price of the medicine.
Moreover, Qin Sujin and Qi Xiuzhe were officials in the court, so they had to take care of things. She also contributed money and effort, and she didn't even let them know.
Even Qin Sushui, who went to the war, was able to quickly rise from a junior general to a deputy general, and was finally promoted to a general by the emperor in the first half of the year. This was all due to Qin Wu's contribution.
After all, it was she who paid for the military rations and gave money to the Ministry of Works to build a lot of weapons and armor, which allowed Qin Sushui to have no worries and win several battles.
Otherwise, Qin Sushui might not have been able to surpass other generals so quickly, win the battle, and have a group of loyal soldiers supporting him.
It’s a pity that the Qin family sucked Qin Wu’s blood, but they still thought that Qin Wu was vicious and protected Qin Yinnuan, who slandered her as the president, everywhere.
She and Gong Yu saw it and felt pain in their hearts, both thinking it was not worth it for Qin Wu.
Fortunately, the president thought it through and severed ties with the Qin family. Gong Shang no longer had to work hard to help them. He was excited from the bottom of his heart and had hope.
She knew that if she followed Qin Wu, she would have a bright future. In the future, she would definitely not let her descendants suffer the same hardships as them, and would be able to protect them throughout their lives.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Qin Wu said, "Once our Chamber of Commerce is completely stable, I will take you to travel around other countries to relax."
"I like doing business and making money. The president gave me this opportunity, and I will definitely develop our chamber of commerce. As for traveling to other countries, I am not too interested. I just want to make more money for you." This is what Gong Shang really thought.
No matter where you go, it’s not as fun as making money.
As I see the money in my hands increase, I feel more secure.
Gong Shang and Gong Yu are both greedy for money. Gong Shang is good at making money, and Gong Yu is good at saving money. These two are Qin Wu's best right-hand men.
In the previous life, the two were loyal to her and would never betray Qin Wu. In the end, Qin Yinnuan killed them in anger.
In this life, Qin Wu will never let them fall to the same level as in the previous life.
"Okay, I'll get you whatever reward you want when the time comes." Qin Wu smiled.
"The Da Zhou Hot Pot Restaurant that we opened opposite Qin Yinnuan's hot pot restaurant has opened today. Do you want to try it?" Gong Shang suggested, "You can also judge whether this hot pot restaurant can surpass the one opened by Qin Yinnuan."
