"Are these people fools? They actually joined the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce willingly and are even willing to take a cut from the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce!"
After the merchants left, Xue Rongrong looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled look on her face.
Qin Yu smiled slightly and said, "You think they are fools, that's because you have never done business. If you have, you will know that they are not stupid at all. On the contrary, they are smarter than those aristocratic families!"
"What's so difficult about doing business? It's just buying and selling things. If you can sell them, you make money. If you can't, you don't make any money!"
Xue Rongrong said.
"You think things are too simple!"
"Let me put it this way. If you buy cloth, you need to cooperate with a dyeing workshop. Large aristocratic families often have dyeing workshops and shops. They produce a lot of cloth, but the shops sell little, so they sell it to other merchants!"
"So, small merchants make money from this, but in doing so, they can't offend the nobles. If they do, they won't be able to buy their goods!"
"Even if they opened their own dyeing workshops, they still need silk to make cloth, and resources like silkworm farmers are still concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families!"
"In other words, the interests of small merchants are being exploited by the aristocratic families, and they can only passively accept it. Otherwise, the aristocratic families can easily strangle their lives!"
"And the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce founded by this prince can free them from the oppression of the aristocratic families. The annual membership fee of one hundred taels of silver is not as much as the aristocratic families squeeze from them. Therefore, they are making a lot of money!"
"Besides, joining the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to establishing a relationship with this prince. From now on, whenever you travel around the world, you can use my name, which will make things much easier!"
"That's why they're willing to pay more to get an ID card!"
Qin Yu said.
Xue Rongrong never thought that doing business had such tricks, and she never thought that it would be so difficult for small businessmen to survive!
No wonder there are so few small merchants in Daliang who develop into aristocratic families. At first, she thought that these small merchants had limited business capabilities and could not earn enough money. Now it seems that they were exploited by the aristocratic families!
"But then, wouldn't you be acting as a protective umbrella for these people? What if they use your name to do something wrong?"
Xue Rongrong asked in a deep voice.
"Haha! No way! This Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce is a place to integrate resources. In the future, this prince will build it into the commercial resource integration center of the entire Daliang!"
"In other words, whether you're a merchant or an aristocratic family, if you want to do business, you have to go through the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce!"
"This way, we can know how much silver the noble families earn each year through the Western Wasteland Chamber of Commerce, and collecting taxes will be much easier!"
"At the same time, the imperial court will no longer be subject to counterattacks from the aristocratic families. We can always find replacements from the small merchants below!"
Qin Yu said with a smile.
hiss!
As soon as he said this, Xue Rongrong couldn't help but gasp. Qin Yu's methods were really too advanced!
A West Wasteland Chamber of Commerce not only solved the troubles of West Wasteland City, but also solved the big problem of the aristocratic families!
On the second day, shops in the city opened one after another, and the shops previously owned by aristocratic families were sold by Qin Yu to small merchants.
The nobles were furious when they heard the news.
"Assholes! How dare these small merchants go against us!"
"Haha! They must have purchased supplies from the Crown Prince. Great! We'll increase the percentage of their earnings from 10% to 30%!"
"No! This time, we're going to take 50% of the profits and squeeze them hard!"
"If these small merchants are not taught a lesson, they will definitely cause chaos!"
