I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In Qing Kingdom, Chen Jia and Chen Jue have achieved remarkable achievements in many fields with their extraordinary business wisdom. With the steady progress of the maritime trade plan, how to make the capital flow more efficiently has become an important issue before them. On this day, Chen Jia invited dealers from all walks of life to gather together to discuss countermeasures.

In the spacious and bright meeting room, the sun shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows. Chen Jia sits in the main seat, looks at the dealers in a friendly way, and is the first to break the silence: "Everyone, the scale of our maritime trade is expanding day by day, and the carrying and circulation of silver and money has become a big problem. Each transaction uses a large amount of silver and copper coins, which is neither convenient nor safe. I'm thinking, can we turn silver and money into silver notes, which is light and safe? What do you think?"

A dealer from the north, with a burly figure and a full beard, scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Madam Chen, although this silver note sounds convenient, will everyone recognize it? After all, it is reassuring to hold real gold and silver in your hands. What if this light piece of paper cannot be cashed in the future?"

Chen Jia smiled and patiently explained, "Brother, your concerns are not without reason. But we can solve this problem by building credibility. We can unite several powerful banks to jointly launch silver bills. These banks have branches in various places to ensure that the silver bills can be exchanged for cash at any time. Moreover, we can use special anti-counterfeiting technology in the design of silver bills to make it difficult for people to forge them. In this way, everyone will feel at ease holding silver bills just like holding silver."

At this time, a southern dealer, wearing an exquisite silk gown, frowned slightly and said, "Madam Chen, that's what you said, but the circulation range of silver notes is also a problem. Our maritime trade has to pass through many countries and regions, and the people in these places may have different acceptance levels of silver notes. If we arrive in a certain place and people don't recognize silver notes at all, then won't we still have to use silver to trade?"

Chen Jia nodded to show her understanding and said, "You are right. So we need to gradually promote the use of silver bills. On the one hand, we can take the lead in promoting it among our trading partners, so that they can understand the convenience and reliability of silver bills. On the other hand, we can cooperate with banks and commercial banks in various countries along the way, so that they can also recognize and accept our silver bills. For example, we can reach an agreement with banks in the South China Sea, and they help promote silver bills, and we will give them certain preferential policies. In this way, the circulation of silver bills will be gradually expanded."

A young dealer, with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes, stood up and asked, "Mrs. Chen, how are the denominations of these silver notes determined? Are there different specifications like silver?"

Chen Jia smiled and replied, "That's a good question. We can set the denomination of silver notes based on the common specifications of silver, such as ten taels, fifty taels, one hundred taels, etc. This way, when trading, everyone can choose the appropriate denomination of silver notes based on the actual amount, which is convenient and flexible."

After hearing this, everyone nodded and gradually gained confidence in the silver note plan.

At this time, Chen Jia changed the subject and said, "In addition to the silver bills, we also have to consider opening a business along the way. The sea trade route is long, and the transfer and storage of goods require a reliable base. Moreover, opening a business can better promote our products and understand the local market demand. What do you think about this?"

An experienced old dealer stroked his beard and said slowly: "Mrs. Chen, opening a business is not a trivial matter. The location is crucial. It must be located in places with convenient transportation and prosperous business, so as to ensure the smooth circulation and sales of goods. For example, in some important port cities in Southeast Asia, there are many ships coming and going and trade is frequent. It is definitely a good idea to set up a business there."

Chen Jia nodded in agreement: "You are absolutely right. We can first do a detailed market research to understand the business environment, tax policies and other conditions in various places, and then determine the best location for the business after comprehensive consideration. In addition, the management of the business must also keep up. We need to select capable people to be responsible for the operation of the business and ensure the safe storage and orderly sales of goods."

Another dealer said worriedly: "Mrs. Chen, when you open a business in a foreign place, you will inevitably encounter various troubles, such as harassment from local hooligans or malicious competition from peers. How should you deal with this?"

Chen Jia said firmly: "This is indeed a challenge. We can establish good relations with local authorities and seek their protection. At the same time, we must uphold the principle of honest business and win the recognition of local people with high-quality products and good services. As for the competition from peers, we must rely on strength and continuously improve our product quality and business strategies."

A dealer who is good at communication said: "Mrs. Chen, I think we can also cooperate with the local chamber of commerce. Joining the local chamber of commerce can not only integrate into the local business circle, but also use the power of the chamber of commerce to solve some problems. For example, the chamber of commerce can provide us with market information and help us coordinate relations with other merchants."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up and she said, "That's a good idea! Cooperating with the local chamber of commerce will allow us to adapt to the environment and expand our business more quickly. We can actively communicate with the local chamber of commerce in every place where we open a business and strive to join."

Then, everyone started a heated discussion on the details of the business operation, from the purchase and storage of goods, to the recruitment and training of personnel, to the promotion and marketing of the market, every link was discussed in depth.

"Mrs. Chen, I think the display of a business's merchandise is also very important. We need to display our silk, porcelain and other products beautifully to attract customers' attention," a dealer suggested.

Chen Jia nodded and said, "That's right. The display of goods can directly affect customers' desire to buy. We can refer to the display methods of some well-known shops and combine them with local cultural characteristics to create a unique display style."

"Mrs. Chen, we can also hold some promotional activities in the store, such as discounts, free gifts, etc., to attract more customers." said another dealer.

Chen Jia smiled and responded: "That's a good idea. Through promotional activities, we can increase the popularity and sales of our products. But we must pay attention to the intensity and frequency of the activities, so as to ensure profits while making customers feel that they are getting the best deal."

After a whole day of discussion, everyone reached a preliminary consensus on the promotion of silver bills and the opening of commercial banks along the way.

As the sky gradually darkened, the atmosphere in the meeting room was still lively. Chen Jia looked at the dealers present and said gratefully: "Thanks to everyone's brainstorming today, we have a clearer direction for the silver bills and business. The development of maritime trade cannot be separated from everyone's support and efforts. I hope we can work together to create more brilliant achievements."

Everyone agreed, their eyes full of confidence and expectation. Under Chen Jia's leadership, these dealers are about to embark on a new business journey and lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of maritime trade.
