There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

Duan Xiaopeng is a lesson learned, but Liu Zhen's matter has not been resolved.

The children have good intentions at first, but they are not careful in their work, leaving too many troubles behind. If this mess is not dealt with properly, it will definitely lead to more troubles.

After sending the invitation to Liu Zhen's staff, Huo Chengyi thought about it all night, and went to the town to discuss with Fatty Jiang the next day.

Then, invitations were also sent to the top-ranked Yuanwai merchants in Tongniu County.

His idea is actually very simple, that is to unite these merchants to establish a trade organization, referred to as 'Business Alliance'.

There is no need to say more about the specific benefits of the business alliance, but all smart people understand it.

In fact, the concept of business alliance already exists here. Many large and small merchants from all over the world form caravans to travel and do business and share network resources.

It's just that the details of this concept are not perfect here. There are only cooperative caravans, but no business alliance organizations.

Even if some people have this kind of idea, it is a difficult process to create first, even the treaties of some business alliances, I am afraid that people will have to spend a lifetime of thinking and perfecting.

Moreover, merchants are underestimated here, and their development is suppressed. Few people take business as a life goal to study hard. The ancient commercial development process is slow.

But Huo Chengyi is different. He comes from a modern age thousands of years ahead of civilization. He only needs to copy the modern management to establish the framework of the business alliance.

Tongniu County is the best experimental target.

Although there is a transit terminal here, due to the impassability of land roads, other surrounding towns are not developed enough, and the local residents are poor, except for the passers-by who come and go to and from the cargo ships, other consumption cannot be driven at all.

And it is close to the frontier. Once there is a war, it will soon fall.

So for those big merchants, Tongniu County is really tasteless, and their business will not be stationed here to develop, only some small merchants are left to divide up this small cake.

As long as these small merchants are organized, it will be a reduced version of the merchant alliance.

Growing up from a young age will facilitate many things in the future.

He had this idea before, but he never had a chance, and wanted to wait until Xiaobai gave birth.

But now that the children have created this opportunity by playing crookedly, there is no reason not to grasp it.

After sending out the invitation, Huo Chengyi began to prepare, and the meeting place was in their village.

And those outsiders who received the invitation from Huo's family didn't throw away the invitation this time like they did at Jiang Ji's reception, thinking about it, no matter what they thought, they still took time to prepare with a lively attitude.

Today's Huo's family is still a rural household on the surface, but because of the recent popularity of soybean products and other things, it has already left a name in the hearts of various merchants.

It's not that everyone is so rare about his business, but that every time a family develops, they have one more competitor, so naturally they should pay attention.

On the invitation post, Huo Chengyi didn't specify what he was going to do, but just invited everyone to have dinner.

The meaning of the text is very simple, but these fine merchants think a lot.

The Huo family has developed so rapidly, how could they not come to take advantage of the Huo family's invitation to dinner this time?

Here, in order to prepare for this gathering, Huo Chengyi put in a lot of thought. Fatty Jiang also handed over the shop's business to the shopkeeper, and stayed in the village. The two discussed specific matters every day.

Fatty Jiang is still learning about business matters, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of the benefits brought by the business alliance.

But once they heard Huo Chengyi say that after the matter was completed, they would not have to worry about business in the future, and immediately they didn't think about anything, and they were full of energy to do what they were asked to do.

After two days of busy work, the village was busier than New Year's Eve when the party started.

The scenes of the horse-drawn carriages entering the village one after another, and the servants serving the master made the villagers curious and envious.

Seeing that all these people came to visit the Huo family, they couldn't help whispering that now the Huo family really broke out.

And when the villagers sighed and discussed, the outsiders who came to the village were also very shocked.

Yes, shock.

They originally thought that Huangxi Village was an ordinary poor village, and when they came, they murmured why the Huo family didn't choose a restaurant for their treats, they had to be in the village.

But when they set foot on the road from Tongniu County to Huangxi Village, the mentality of all the members changed.

The villagers built this road for themselves, using the real materials provided by the Huo family brick kiln, and the effort they put in was also a real effort.

It is not comparable to modern highways, but it is definitely the number one thumb here.

Of course, if the road is easy to walk, you have to pay for it. Passing by the toll booth set up on the road, everyone outside was secretly surprised, and couldn't help but admire the recruiting business!

"It is rumored that the head of the Huo family in Huangxi Village has a lot of business skills. Seeing this road, it is really well-deserved. It costs a lot of money to build this road, but I am afraid that this toll booth will make a lot of money over the years..."

"Master Li is right, but I don't know what the Huo family is planning this time. The reception at Jiang's Store last time made his family's wine famous..."

There were acquaintances who came in a carriage together, looking at the road leading to Huangxi Village, they couldn't help discussing.

It's just that no matter how everyone discussed, no one guessed Huo Chengyi's intention.

All the members sighed all the way, and when they entered Huangxi Village, their eyes widened when they saw Huo Chengyi's row of factories and staff dormitories.

When the villagers who led the way said that it was the place where the Huo family lived for the workers, they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

"This, this house is really for workers to live in?!"

All the members were shocked, and their eyes were incredible.

The houses here are a symbol of wealth and status. Although the architectural style of the houses Huo Chengyi asked Bu Jianlin to build does not meet the public's aesthetics, the entire house is built with bricks, which is shocking enough.

You must know how valuable bricks are here, and rich households don’t use bricks in all rooms to repair their houses, and a large part of them still use wood.

In addition to being beautiful, it also means saving bricks.

And Huo Chengyi's houses are all imitated modern architectural styles, the roofs are straight and built into balconies, and the cost of bricks is not a small amount.

The most important thing is that these houses are not actually lived by the main family, but by the servants of factories and helpers!

The villagers looked envious, but the first thought of these merchants was to estimate the financial resources of the Huo family.

Living so well for the servants, it is conceivable that the Huo family has huge financial resources, but you must know that a year ago, the Huo family was just a poor family in the countryside...

All the members were terrified and apprehensive, and felt uneasy.

Huo Chengyi naturally wouldn't explain that he actually spent very little to repair these houses, so he greeted everyone with a smile.

Because of the series of shocks at the beginning, the members of the family have put away their initial contempt, and they get along quite kindly and respectfully when eating.

Of course, there are also those who are impatient and can't bear to sit at the dinner table and start asking about the purpose of the Huo family's treat today.

Huo Chengyi smiled and said a word about this, and did not reveal it for the time being, which whetted the appetite of all the members.

After dinner, everyone's curiosity was almost brewed, Huo Chengyi gathered in the living room, and closed the door to discuss things.

What they are doing is all about business. Almost everyone was moved when Huo Chengyi proposed the concept of business alliance.

If everyone really changes from a competitor to a cooperative friend and shares the resources of contacts and goods, it will definitely be a huge benefit.

Unity is strength, we all know that.

But the problem is, if everyone can unite, no one wants to be cheated, let alone take out their own sources of goods and business secrets, if they can't get it right, it will be miserable.

"...I understand everyone's concerns, and I can't guarantee that everyone's heart is good. There are rat shit everywhere, so in order to ensure the interests of all those who join the business alliance, everyone must swear with blood. According to the treaty of the alliance, three cuts and six holes will be slashed, and a thousand cuts will be borne by oneself."

Huo Chengyi looked around everyone coldly.

In fact, he was also very worried about someone doing bad things, so after much deliberation, he could only use iron and blood to suppress it.

The ancients paid the most attention to taking blood oaths, and most people were afraid of death. If rat feces still appear in this way, there is no way.

"All of you are businessmen. I don't think I need to say more about the benefits of the business alliance. Everyone knows that everyone is doing business just to make money. If you don't grasp the opportunity, you can choose for yourself..."

"However, this is a risky thing after all. Anyone who violates the business alliance treaty will be killed. So I will give you three days to think about it. Then I would like to ask everyone to send someone to reply. How about it?"

Huo Chengyi looked around at the crowd, waiting for an answer.

"Then if the business alliance is established, who will call the shots?"

Someone suddenly made a sound, waking everyone up with a word.

Yes, if this business alliance is established, then naturally there must be one person to call the shots. In other words, they listen to that person, and their status changes.

All the merchants sitting here are of comparable strength, and no one is willing to be someone else's younger brother.

Huo Chengyi expected that everyone would ask about this point, he had already thought up the belly draft, his expression was unpredictable, and he smiled pretentiously.

"Of course it's my Huo family..."

After saying this, the expressions on the outside of the members were not right, obviously not convinced.

Although the Huo family has gained momentum recently, it is still nothing compared to the old merchants who have occupied the town for many years. The Huo family wants everyone to be obedient with just one sentence. Why?

Everyone's voices began to rise and fall.

Huo Chengyi looked at the crowd quietly, took out the token jade pendant that Huang Qi had given him from his bosom, and pulled the banner cheekily.

"Just based on this..."

"What is this?" A group of short-sighted small merchants wondered.

Huo Chengyi kept smiling, shaking the jade pendant to fool him.

"Why do you think my Huo family was able to start from scratch within a year? Is it because of luck? Because of Fang County Magistrate? Or because of my ability, Huo Chengyi? Do you believe me when I say that..."

"Don't let me tell you, the boy is lucky, and he got on a big boat. Whether you want to take this opportunity in the business alliance is up to you, but I have to say ugly things in front of you. Once you join, if you have two hearts, it will damage everyone's interests. , don’t blame me for being rude to his family.”

If the words are revealed to this extent, there are still people who do not understand, so there is no need to deal with them.

Everyone looked at the jade pendant in Huo Chengyi's hand, and then thought about what they saw when they entered the village.

They looked at each other for the last time, their tone eased, and they cupped their hands.

"Huo Dong's family, this matter is very important, please let us go home and think about it."
