C2458 Make money with money

The power of commerce was incomparably strong. It was not something that a single person or country could suppress just because they wanted to. It could be said that the advancement of human civilization was greatly dependent on the power of commerce.

The essence of business was to communicate, to communicate with each other, to improve the quality of life on both sides of the trade, not to be a miser like Grandet, who would earn all the money of others and lose them all.

Once business fell into a situation where one side wanted to force the other side to death, the game would go awry. Not to mention whether there would be a war, this kind of one-sided hegemony was not something that could last long and was against the laws of the heavens.

Trade was an interactive human act. If you monopolized it all, then you would have no rival buyers. If the wealth was accumulated in your hands, then no one else would be able to conduct trade.

There are many reasons why China has closed its doors since ancient times. For security purposes, it has stabilized the hearts of the people and controlled the thoughts of the people... However, there was one thing that could not be overlooked, which was the arrogance in the hearts of the literati of the Emperor.

I am a great country, the center of the world, rich and self-sufficient, only you foreign devils beg my good goods, I have nothing to beg you to go to.

It was this arrogant mentality that allowed them to ignore the source of human civilization's development, which was business.

The excessive power of the Central Plains' economies made the rulers have the mentality of eating by themselves. They wanted to do hegemonic business, always wanting to earn all the money in the world, but they couldn't. Do you think yourself to be a Pi Xiu?

The idea of a closed country was actually a relative concept. Since ancient times, China had never had a strict concept of a locked country. During the most severe period of seclusion in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Europeans could also buy Chinese porcelain, silk and tea.

The Kang Xi dryad did not close Guangzhou's Thirteen Rows even in the end, so how did the legend of sealing the country come about?

In fact, China's rulers were not in seclusion, they were just greedy. They themselves did not respect the business world and always wanted to be the one to take the lion's share of the profits in this trading game.

It was always exports without any imports, which resulted in a serious trade deficit. The gold and silver currency flowed back to China and the end result was war.

At the end of the day, the outbreak of war was caused by an economic problem, and 90% of the economic problem was caused by trade.

Xiao Letian looked at the confused Zai Chun and laughed, "Now do you understand why I want to drag Duke of Newcastle into this? Didn't you all feel sorry for this small amount of shares? "

"That's the problem, because the profits from this transaction are just too great. One hundred twenty thousand pounds a day worth of running water will never be less than one hundred thousand pounds a day even if it stabilizes in the future …"

"Such a huge amount of money, do I have to take all of it myself? Do you think England will let me take away the thirty or forty million pounds a year? "

"How did the Opium War happen? Isn't the problem worth thinking about here? "

If you want to make money for the longest time, you have to consider all kinds of benefits. If we pull the Duke of Newcastle into our group, he can pull the entire British aristocracy into our group.

"This way, we will become one with the entire British aristocracy circle. Both will prosper, and both will suffer losses at the same time. Only then will they allow me to live in peace for one year at a time, and not think of all ways to kill me!"

"To put it more bluntly, I am relying on my Chinese meal to dig up wealth from the people of England and then bribe the entire upper echelons of England with the wealth of the English people!"

"Eat mine, take mine …" I think no matter how shameless they are, they should at least give us ten years of peace! "

"Luo Huo! Didn't you sigh the most just now? Then, you will be my representative, go negotiate with the Duke of Newcastle, and let us expand the cause of eating Chinese food together, and become strong! "

When the Duke of Newcastle enthusiastically welcomed General Luo Huo into his living room, when he found out about the Leader's new plan, the Duke, who was in the midst of earning money, was so excited that he almost fainted.

In Xiao Letian's new plan, the future of Chinese restaurants was to take two steps and stand at the top with one leg. Using the four stores in London as a model, he would train people to gain some experience and then promote them to the big cities in Europe.

At the same time, they couldn't abandon a market as big as the one for ordinary people. Chinese food must be fast cooked, they could take out some of the classic snacks from the Chinese food and start standard production, then a large number of them would be supplied to the market.

The delicacies of Chinese food could not always be locked into high-end restaurants, and could not be tried by ordinary people. During the promotion process of Chinese food, Xiao Letian had discovered that many of the snacks were extremely popular.

For example, steamed buns, barbecued wheat, pancakes, dumplings, fried rice … Wait a minute, these cheap, yet easy to standardize food production, can be promoted through the fast food restaurant model.

What made Duke of Newcastle even more excited was that Xiao Letian did not have absolute control over it this time. He hoped that this conceptual stock would be put on the market first and then use the stock market to raise funds to see how big of a plate it would be in the end.

After that, he would use this money to invest in fast food restaurants. However, Xiao Letian only retained the right to be number one in management, so he had to buy as many shares as he could from the market.

Of course, the Chinese side also had a big treasure, which was the nurturing of Chinese food chefs. In the future, Ryukyu would establish a chef training school, which would help the whole world cultivate Chinese food chefs that would cater to the market.

As long as he could control the origin of the technology, then the entire industrial chain would not be able to escape from Xiao Letian's grasp.

"Great, this is great! I can already smell the scent of money. This fast food restaurant has a large number of customers, moreover, it has a huge population. So, the final profit must be more than that of a high-class restaurant! "

"The Führer is a genius at business! "I'm sure that this stock will be very popular. Just from the advertising power of our four restaurants, the plan for a Chinese fast-food restaurant will also become popular in the market!"

"No, I have to go see my old friend in City immediately, I have to push this big plan to earn money!"

When Xiang Ying heard about this plan, he felt extremely emotional and said to Cai Bixia, "Master has already seen through human nature. She joined forces with the British circle of nobility in the high class restaurants, and the fast food restaurants that go public on the stock market would have to join forces with countless British capitalists!"

"Master is willing to give us out such a profitable transaction. At that time, countless British Capital Crocodiles will become the shareholders of this ship. For the surging money, these Capital Crocodiles will give us some face!"

"Using the wealth of the British to bribe the entire upper echelons of the UK, we will be able to earn a lot of money in the end!"

"The Head of the Guards is really heaven!"
