Chapter 1898 Dayu controls floods, Dahan Chamber of Commerce(1/2)
Fei Qian had originally asked Xun You to take these guys to discuss business-related issues, but after thinking about it, Xun You's talent in this area may not be perfect, so he still had to make the hard trip himself.
After all, although Xun You was smart, he did not have Fei Qian's vision from later generations. Therefore, if he relied entirely on Xun You, Fei Qian might have saved himself a short time, but it might become more verbose later, so Fei Qian might as well come and communicate with these people in person.
This eliminates the inevitable attenuation or misunderstanding of meaning during the communication process.
Business law can be generally regarded as a business platform, and the one who formulates the terms and conditions is naturally the powerful party. Of course, everyone wants such power.
Seeing everyone fighting for power, Fei Qian smiled slightly and asked Huang Xu beside him to fetch the cloth bag he was carrying. Then, like Kong Yiji, he placed dozens of big coins in the hall... uh, gold.
fan.
The gold-painted fan was the most pirated product among all products under Fei Qian's rule. Firstly, the gold-painted fan product had a simple structure, and secondly, the demand was huge, so it naturally became the target of unscrupulous merchants.
The business platform is very important, but the goals and direction of the business platform are more important...
"Send them all down... Everyone, let's take a look, what's the difference?" Fei Qian pointed to everyone in the hall and asked the guards to send these gold-painted fans to each person's desk.
Historically, the earliest records of piracy and anti-piracy seem to be in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, Si Tianjian printed calendars for public sale every year. However, like Sichuan, due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, few Chang'an Si Tianjian calendars arrived. However, the people were accustomed to using calendars to confirm their decisions.
own production and life, so there are unscrupulous businessmen piracy.
Later, due to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, many people from Chang'an fled to Sichuan and Shu for refuge. It turned out that the calendars of Sichuan and Shu were different, with different sizes of months and months. There were many differences from what they bought in Chang'an, and the people who sold them were all different.
He swore that he was right to sell the calendar.
During the dispute, the stalemate persisted, so they went to the government to discuss the merits. As a result, the local official said: "It's a big month and a small month. What does it matter if the difference is a day and a half? This is a trivial matter, why bother in court?" So they gave both parties a five-five.
Shi Ban, he was kicked out of the court and settled.
Is it a trivial matter?
It was a trivial matter. After all, it was the Anshi Rebellion at that time, and the officials were naturally panic-stricken. They wondered if the sky above their heads would change color. Naturally, the authenticity of a mere almanac was regarded as a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
But it's also a big deal.
Human beings have not had the concept of piracy since ancient times. When did it exist? After discovering that something innovative and created by others has value, some people steal it and make it their own.
Only by continuous innovation and creation in human society can the overall production and living standards continue to progress and develop. If everyone is waiting to steal other people's things, and they are not ashamed and will not be punished, can such a society be saved?
Fei Qian watched everyone passing the gold-painted fans around to each other, and then pinched the beard on his chin. Well, I'm afraid he'll never have a long and shiny beard like Guan Yu's in this life. This is a talent, unless he also pirates it.
One, take some other people's hair and stick it on your chin, but does that still count as your own beard? Isn't it just like the costumes in Peking Opera?
"It's easy to tell the authenticity of this item..." Cui Hou himself specializes in selling these luxury goods for nobles. Naturally, he can see many differences at a glance, and he disdains those shoddy and shoddy products. "The products made by Chang'an Gongfang
, the bones are thin and moist, the paint is flat and smooth, the brocade used is smooth and has no sticky patchwork, and the gold wire is inlaid, so it is faintly visible! In addition, the fan nails in the workshop are all made of bronze, and imitations are mostly used.
Bamboo and wood are easily broken over time..."
Fei Qian nodded slowly, then looked at the other people.
Cui Hou said it in more detail, so other people didn't have any additional fresh points of difference to add.
After Fei Qian and others had seen it, he said, "Since there are so many differences, why are there so many buyers?"
"This..." Cui Hou's eyes wandered twice and he didn't answer immediately.
Fei Qian secretly laughed in his heart. Strictly speaking, a luxury product like this would be within Cui Hou's jurisdiction. However, Cui Hou was obviously like the local official who said "it's only a day or two away" and did not treat piracy as such.
The matter was serious, so when Fei Qian asked now, it was naturally difficult to answer.
This is not a problem of Cui Hou alone, but a lack of an entire concept, so this is why Fei Qian has summoned his men to come here together.
Fei Qian did not ask Cui Hou, but pointed at Pei Jun, "Fengxian, let's talk..." Pei Jun's name is also Fengxian, but the value of force is far worse than that of the other Fengxian.
Pei Jun quickly glanced at Fei Qian's face, then lowered his head and said, "Maybe it's because the price is high and the family is poor..."
Fei Qian nodded, then pointed at Zhuo Liang and said, "What do Meng Fu think?"
Zhuo Liang quickly held up his hands and said: "The land of Sichuan and Sichuan is remote and difficult to find in the pass, so it is easy to imitate..." I don't know whether it was because the weather was still a little hot or for some other reason, but beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Fei Qian nodded slightly without comment and glanced at Zhen Mi beside him. Before he could speak, he heard Zhen Mi say: "There are also imitations in Jizhou, but they are all bought by poor families to fill up their appearance. How can a wealthy family look at it?"
To get such a bad thing..."
Oh, Zhen Mi, what you said is really interesting.
Lina Gu, a Baishi Qiangtou man, said: "The one I use is good! It's the same as this one! But many people over there don't use it, and few people buy it. They say this thing breaks too easily! It's not easy to use!"
Fei Qian smiled and nodded.
That's right, folding fans are for daily leisure use. If you use them to fan the fire or something...
The big item of luxury goods for the Hu people is not the folding fan, so the problem of Baishiqiang is not big, because this is a process of enlightenment. For the Han people themselves, the gold-painted fan may be an ordinary luxury product, but for the Hu people,
It is a tool for education and attachment, and naturally its meaning and value are somewhat different.
"If you have a visitor, come to the market and buy grain, oil, vinegar, wine, meat, fish, and some wine..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "When I was about to pay, I said that my family was living in poverty and poverty, so I asked the store to reduce or waive the payment."
, Is that okay? If the shopkeeper doesn’t want to, then he scolds the shopkeeper for being unkind and merciless, and angrily throws the oil pot and wine jar and walks away, what’s his behavior?”
"How can there be such a villain?! If someone encounters him, he will be arrested and sent away to punish his crime!" Cui Hou frowned and said, "If you don't have money, you should use it for yourself. How can you defraud others? You should use robbery.
Robbery!』
"Since you know that you are poor, you should strive to make progress. How can you just beg for money? Doesn't this mean that you will fall like a refugee? It will bring shame to the clan! Anyone who has a little understanding of the meaning of Zhongzheng should not do this. If there is such a thing
, We should take heavy responsibility and serve as a warning to others!" As for the example mentioned by Fei Qian, Pei Jun also couldn't understand this kind of rational thinking mode. He believed that if there are still some integrity in his heart, he should not change.
Become such a person.
Fei Qian laughed and pointed to the gold-painted fan on the table.
Everyone was suddenly either stunned or frightened.
There was only a pop, but Zhuo Liang crawled into the hall, kowtowed repeatedly, his body trembled, "I am guilty! I am guilty!"
Among the gold-painted fans that Fei Qian took out, there was one imitated by Zhuo's own family. Zhuo Liang naturally recognized it. At first, he wanted to pretend to be ignorant and muddle through, but after hearing Fei Qian's example, Cui Hou and Pei Jun
He expressed that he wanted to be severely punished, so he couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty. At least he could turn himself in and see if the punishment could be reduced to some extent...
"In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, the plank roads are simple and simple, and the canyons are difficult to navigate. This is natural..." Fei Qian looked at Zhuo Liang and said slowly, "But what is business? Businessmen switch careers from north to south, transport things, and go through history."
The wind blows through the frost, swallowing the dust and dirt, and then you can get its benefits. How can you just seek the simple things because the road is simple? If this is the case, who in the world will be willing to make beautiful things? Go back to your seat first, and wait for the rest.
Go to the department and take the blame directly!』
Zhuo Liang kowtowed again and returned to his seat tremblingly.
If Fei Qian only wants to maintain the feudal hierarchy, pursue the stability of feudal rule, and constantly squeeze the grassroots people, then he will not care about the issue of piracy or not, and will even take the initiative to give away some for free.
Cheap things are used to paralyze the people at the grassroots level, making these people think that "being poor is justified" and "being poor can get benefits". There are free things available, so why waste money, spend a lot of energy, and work hard?
Strive to invent and create?
There are many factors that make a nation strong, but I believe that one of them must stem from a nation's own creativity, and this creativity cannot be achieved by a small group of people, or the top class, but needs to be allowed to
The whole nation has the spirit of innovation and creation. To ensure this spirit of the whole nation, we must ensure that these innovations and creations can obtain corresponding rewards.
If once you fall into a caste system like that of Asan in later generations, and the classes are completely solidified, all the vitality will disappear instantly, and the rulers at the top who have the most resources and the most knowledge do not want to lead the entire society and the entire nation forward, but
There must be more focus on how to protect one's dominance.
Just like in order to meet the needs of the emperor or the nobles, the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty made all kinds of incredible instruments and items, but these things only met the temporary needs of the emperor or the nobles, and then were thrown into the warehouse, the seismometer,
The mileage cart is like a more complex and exquisite toy. Once you get tired of playing with it, no one will care about it.
If Fei Qian wants to bring the Chinese nation to a higher position, he must mobilize all Chinese people, not just the small group of nobles.
Just like the universal Lordship system that Feiqian is planning to launch, when everyone pays and works hard, they will find that they have been improved, and then they will feel that what they have paid, whether it is labor or life, is valuable.
Instead of it being taken away for free or pirated.
Fei Qian believed that if the Chinese nation wanted to break away from geographical restrictions and break through the limitations of the mountains and rivers surrounding China during the feudal dynasty, it must rely on the strength of the entire Chinese nation, so the vitality of the entire Chinese nation must be guaranteed.
In order to maintain its own vitality and at the same time more effectively control and weaken external nations, in addition to necessary military means, there is also a very important means, which is the export of culture.
Free and pirated copies are very vicious means of exporting culture to foreign countries!
This cruel and insidious method is used externally, not on the internal public.
This is especially true for foreign teenagers, because their thinking has not yet been finalized and their three views are being established. This is the best time to let these foreign teenagers grow crooked and crippled.
Tell these foreign teenagers that "study is not important, happiness is important", let these foreign teenagers completely pursue sensual happiness and give up thinking in their heads, and then add that "effort is an idiot, and struggle is a fool",
You don’t have to work hard and there are still free things you can get and use. As long as you kneel down and kowtow and beg, you will have something to eat and drink...
Turn a blind eye to foreign piracy, and only wait until the innovation and creativity of the foreign people are destroyed, then you can start harvesting, and by that time...
After three generations, or even without three generations, a nation's culture can be destroyed.
Today's Southern Xiongnu has entered the second generation, and the effect has gradually become obvious. Many children of the Southern Xiongnu only know that China has many good things, Chinese clothes are also beautiful, and Chinese food is delicious. Basically, they can say anything.
They are all good from China. If you ask what is good about the Southern Huns, these children of the Southern Huns will be at a loss...
With free things and blatant piracy allowed, how many people will insist on self-innovation and creation?
Just like if it weren't for the strong "support" of Comrade Chuan Jianguo in later generations, would anyone think that "Hongmeng" is very important? Isn't there a free one that can be used anyway? So why spend money and energy on it? Isn't it thankless?
Fei Qian looked around and saw that everyone was silent, so he turned his head slightly and signaled Huang Xu to take out the second bag, then took out the contents of the bag and arranged them one by one.
"This...this is..."
To be continued...
