In the next two days, a group of people gathered in Zhao Qi's broken cave almost all day long to discuss investment and business.

Now that there is money, Chen Ji and Yao Ran are not in a hurry to leave. As two senior intellectuals who have seen the world, they can naturally give advice to Zhao Qi and others, especially in Guangzhou, where many merchants from the Song Dynasty, Southeast Asia and even Central Asia and West Asia and Europe are gathered, which is more lively than the Yanggongzhen Harbour Wharf in Qingyuan Prefecture.

If Zhao Qi and others plan to start from the warehouse, they can help contact the freighters in Guangzhou and hand over the freight between Hangzhou and Qingyuan Mansion to Zhao Qi for doing it.

With Chen Ji and Yao Ran helping to build a bridge, the group of people discussed it over and over for two days, and the partnership transaction was roughly known and clueless.

Of course, the main figures who made the suggestions were Zhao Qi and Chen Ji and Yao Ran.

Because Yang Dayuan has good appeal and prestige in Maowan Village, he is responsible for convening personnel to make some division of labor arrangements. Yang Dahu can be responsible for the construction of the warehouse. As for Ermao and Ermazi, he is responsible for running errands and inquiring about the news.

The most important thing to contact merchant ships and customers to store goods requires slow operation and accumulation, and it cannot be done in a day or two. As for making money, Zhao Qi has not thought about it now.

His ultimate goal was to slowly develop into a logistics company spread throughout the Song Dynasty with the help of this warehouse.

With the help of this logistics company, a huge trading empire can be established, closely connecting a large number of merchants from all over the country in their own hands.

What is the most important thing to start a company is of course the customer.

With customers, everything will naturally come true.

After discussing everything, Chen Ji took the lead, Zhao Qi and Yao Ran repeatedly discussed and considered it. Finally, Yang Dayuan and others agreed and wrote a contract for partnership.

The name of the warehouse is tentatively designated as De Gang, which means benevolent and moral assistance.

There are six investors, with a total investment of 19,800 stalemates, Zhao Qi accounts for 40% of the shares, Yang Dayuan and Yang Dahu each, Liu Taiye, Ermazi and Ermao each, the warehouse will be dividends every year based on the benefits, and the dividend ratio will not exceed 30% of the total profit in that year. The warehouse manager is temporarily held by Yang Dayuan, and major internal affairs will be decided by the shareholders' meeting. If shareholders want to transfer and sell shares, other shareholders have the right of first refusal. The external transfer needs to be approved by all remaining shareholders before they can be carried out...

This is basically similar to the contract letter of later partners. Most of the terms were proposed by Zhao Qi, and the terms were clear and almost all. Although Yang Dayuan and others were confused and felt that what Zhao Qi said was too troublesome, in Yao Ran and Chen Ji's view, many of these contents seemed cumbersome and detailed, but they were indeed very practical. Therefore, when writing this contract letter, the two kept sighing and admiring.

The contract was eight copies in repetition, everyone signed and covered with seals, Chen Ji and Yao Ran signed as insurance, Zhao Qi and Yang Dayuan and six other shareholders were one copy. Although Old Man Liu refused in every way, he still obtained a share contract worth 2,000 yuan. Chen Ji and Yao Ran were each kept by each of them. As for the matter of sending it to the government for archives, Zhao Qi and others also took the initiative to ignore it.

At present, the Song Dynasty is not only corrupt in the court, but also in the local governments. If the 20,000 yuan investment is known by the officials of the yamen, they will not give up without cutting off a few kilograms of meat.

However, since it is a regular warehouse, it still needs to go to the market management to register and manage, because you have to pay taxes when opening a store, and this cannot be escaped.

It is true that the business of the Song Dynasty was developed, but the commercial tax was also very high. If you don’t pay the tax, you want to open a store, but you don’t have any doors.

However, no one knows how to open the warehouse, so Zhao Qi can only ask Chen Ji and Yao Ran for help.

Zhao Qi believed that no matter how awesome and domineering the officials of the market, they would definitely be careful in front of the two juren, because although these juren had no power or even money, they knew a lot of people, at least they knew all the scholars. The juren was a direct official at the court at the road level, with all the officials of the imperial court, and they were all famous people in the world. They did not have the prefix of their identity as Hanlin Academy, Pavilion, and other major scholars, so they were embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.

Whether it is the Hanlin Bachelor, the Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Jixian Academy, Zizheng Hall, Duanming Hall and other bachelors, they are all important figures who were famous and respected by the emperor. Even if these people are idle positions, they can be appointed as the head of the three provinces and six ministries, or even the head of the East and West Governments and the Ji Provincial Government. They are of the least knowledgeable origins of Jinshi.

Although the power of various schools is not as good as the power of various schools (foreign sentences), punishment and control (foreign command), in the Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and neglects military and has developed education, all students should not be despised, because these people may be a certain Grand Secretary that the emperor likes, and it doesn't matter if they offend their sons. Once these students are wronged and go to their school officials to cry, they are afraid that a small report will hit the emperor's ears, not only will they cry, but they will not even be too late to take off their pants, and the fate may be very miserable.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, whether in the prefectures or counties or rural areas, no one would have to offend scholars, and even a scholar would have to be respectful. No one would have to guarantee that these people would not be promoted in the future, nor would anyone guarantee that these gangsters would not sue the criminal complaints.

It’s easy to offend a martial artist, but at most you will be beaten up. It’s fine if you pass. Basically, you can’t get angry at night. However, you have to be careful from morning to night. Many times you will be humiliated for a lifetime, which is very terrifying.

In addition to the government, if you want to do business well on the wharf, there is another place to visit, that is, the freight operation meeting.

There was a saying in ancient times that 360 professions were the top scholars.

This industry refers to the division of labor in society. At the beginning, the government would gather people from the same industry in the city on a street to operate it, which would facilitate management, so it became a professional market. It was particularly obvious in the Tang Dynasty. However, after the Song Dynasty, due to the disintegration of the market system, various industries began to be dispersed and greatly liberated, and various new industries emerged one after another. The thirty-six industries recorded by the Tang Dynasty soared to more than 400 industries in the Song Dynasty. This also shows the prosperity of the Song Dynasty's commerce and industry.

In the Song Dynasty, almost all industries had guilds, and the guilds selected some respectable figures as the leader of the guild. The role of the guild not only mediates the conflicts between internal merchants and craftsmen, but also cooperates with the court to supervise various industries. If merchants in the guilds produce counterfeit goods, sell fake goods or evade taxes, once they are verified, the capital will be punished jointly.
