Chapter 169: Inspecting illicit salt

Royal Bank and Li Shanyin were about to agree on the details of the joint stock, with the shares being Royal Bank accounting for 80% and Li Shanyin accounting for 20%. In the layout of the washing industry, Royal Bank absorbed not only Li Shanyin, but also acquired two pancreatic merchants in Beizhili.

Three pancreatic sub-brands have been formed, namely "Piaoxianglou", "Hanhuaxuan", and "Hexiang Pavilion". Li Shanyin's "Piaoxiang" is a newly emerging brand and the first enterprise pancreatic sub-brand. Hanhua and Hexiang are mid-to-high-end pancreatic sub-brands that have already emerged. They are both "local brands" in Beizhili and have been impacted by southern pancreatic sub-brands.

The establishment of the three joint ventures of Xiangtong subsidiaries means that Royal Capital has fully entered Xiangtongzi industry. The three companies all have 80% of Royal Capital's shares, which is equivalent to the same owner. However, the three companies compete with each other, but the competition is all on a healthy competitive route and does not follow a malicious price competition route.

If any of the three joint ventures wants to overwhelm the other two, they must work hard on product patterns and publicity and make efforts.

Even if one of the operations has problems, the other two can quickly fill the market, and Royal Capital continues to make money.

If you only support one company to monopolize the market, then you will lack the momentum of development. Moreover, once there is a problem with the operation, it will be difficult to expose it in a short period of time. After all, it is a monopoly operation.

But there are three companies that are different. If any one has problems, the market share will immediately explain the problem.

The joint venture has been created, and the next step is to monopolize the market.

The first is to monopolize the operation of slaughterhouses. Soon the Taxation Bureau issued regulations on slaughtering and pork sales. All pigs supplied to towns must be sent to designated slaughterhouses for slaughtering. Pork sales vendors must go to these designated slaughterhouses to purchase goods.

This regulation is under the banner of "quarantine".

Royal Bank then established a subsidiary specializing in "livestock slaughtering", but its name is not a royal family. The slaughtering industry is a bit bloody, so it is better not to have a royal brand. Therefore, it is named "Bei Zhili Slaughter Company". Only Bei Zhili Slaughter Company has the qualification to quarantine.

Before the pigs enter the town for sale, they must be sent to the Beizhili slaughter company for quarantine, and then sold to the slaughterhouse after passing the quarantine. After the slaughterhouse, stamp it with a seal, and then the vendors come to the slaughterhouse to pick up the goods and then distribute it.

This was something that the gangsters in the capital had done before, but obviously such a monopoly business was beneficial.

However, the eating habits should not be too ugly. The slaughterhouse must leave enough profit space for the farm, which can be calculated. When the pig inventory is small, the profit space will be higher to stimulate production. When the inventory is too large, the profit space will be compressed.

After the pigs were slaughtered, all pigs were supplied to these three joint ventures that produced fragrant panicles. Other fragrant panicles manufacturers had to collect goods outside the town to produce fragrant panicles. However, the pork slaughter in rural areas was relatively scattered and it was extremely troublesome to collect them. Moreover, they could not get much, and the output was first of all, let alone market competition.

The raw materials were controlled, and the taxation was next. Once the joint venture contract was finalized, the Taxation Bureau adjusted the import tax of the panzi the next day, from the original 20% to 200%, which was simply a rhythm of killing with one stick. Of course, some panzi still exist in the market, because many panzis in the south took a very high-end route. Those powerful people accepted the brand and a few taels of silver a box of panzi were just drizzling for them. Especially women, they were even more excited about these detergents. The brothel ladies, the women of the powerful and wealthy businessmen, didn't care about that little money at all, as long as panzi was used to suit their wishes.

However, the increase in tariffs has allowed the three joint ventures to completely seize the mid- and low-end pancreatic sub-market in Beizhili. The high-end pancreatic sub-market is also striving to climb. With the injection of large amounts of funds and the establishment of Royal Bank of China's awareness of product research and development, new products have also begun to be launched one after another.

In addition, in terms of export tax rates, the three joint ventures enjoy tax refund subsidies, and the products can be sold unimpededly to other provinces.

Other pancreatic merchants on the market were simply defeated and had no power to fight back. They could only watch these three pancreatic manufacturers in Beizhili quickly grow in size and crazily erode the pancreatic sales market in Beizhili.

The competition between the three joint ventures soon became very "efficient", and various publicity activities were simply a competition for beauty.

Street propaganda, newspaper advertising, and various competitive means bloom. However, in terms of price, we maintain a high level of tacit understanding. No matter how much we compete, we cannot cross the red line of sacrificing industry interests.

Li Shanyin's Piaoxiang brand panzi quickly gained the advantage of the mid- and low-end market in the competition, occupying 46% of the market share. The two brands of Hanhua and Hexiang have an advantage in high-end panzi, and have launched more than a dozen panzis with different prices, with the most expensive ones, up to 100 yuan per box, and various precious spices were added. After some publicity, this top panzi, which costs up to 100 yuan, has a very considerable sales in the capital. After all, there are many powerful people in the capital, and many are not short of money.

Because these high-end fragrant glutinous rice balls were advertised in the Daming Daily, they were soon sold to southern provinces, especially Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. There are many real local tyrants, and they are even less expensive.

In addition to managing Xiangpanzi, these three major manufacturers also operate tooth powder. Tooth powder is also a daily necessity for the people of the Ming Dynasty, with a wide variety of formulas.

This tooth powder is actually similar to toothpaste. After grinding various materials into powder, it will also be thickened with honey and sesame oil, and then dipped on the brush. Just like later generations, brushing on the left and brushing on the right.

Cheap tooth powder has cheap formulas, and expensive tooth powder has expensive formulas. What are yellow-cooked aromas, pine, agarwood, sandalwood, tongsin, aquamarine, aquamarine, musk, pine, musk, pine, clove, white sandalwood, sauerk, pine, pine, musk, pine, musk, pine, frankincense, green salt, and some medicinal materials, such as Poria cocos, sorghum, and mint, you can add them to it.

Toothbrushes were also found in the Ming Dynasty. Some people say that they were invented by Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, but toothbrushes should have been found in the Song Dynasty.

In short, things like tooth powder and toothbrush were almost completely popular in the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and the middle class also used them in large quantities. The lower class people were not so popular, but many people were using them.

Obviously tooth powder is also a very important daily product.

The three joint ventures have also launched various grades of tooth powder and also produced toothbrushes.

After the Royal Bank's integration and monopoly on the cleaning products market was reported to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed! Obviously, the following is not stupid, and this game has been played quite smoothly.

After carefully looking at the products of the three joint ventures for cleaning supplies, Zhu Youxiao found that there was no mature shampoo inside.

Of course, although ancient people did not have shampoo, they had shampoo products such as soap beans. Rich people used pigling, a precious Chinese medicinal material. At the same time, they had to have sesame leaves and orchid leaves.

"You can let these three companies jointly develop shampoos, which should be relatively simple." Zhu Youxiao thought of this and wrote a plan to send it back.

Shampoo is nothing more than thickening the liquid, then adding various Chinese herbal materials to remove oil and nourish hair, and adding a little more flavor to the higher-end ones. Then put the liquid into a glass bottle, paste it with wrapping paper, and it can be sold on the market.

What are the types of oil removal, anti-dandruff, and moisturizing.

Products can also be sold in high, medium and low grades, and various distributions can be tested. Anyway, there are so many folk remedies.

At the same time, the Royal Academy of Sciences can produce several chemistry that are good at learning and participate in research and development.

As the time enters the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the cabinet has ordered a strict investigation of private salt, tariff smuggling, and canal transport entrainment. This is a nationwide strict investigation.

It is hard to say how much force can be implemented by officials from various provinces if the government order is issued. However, in Beizhili, the entire Beizhili was as if it was fired and strictly enforced.

The local governing officials in Northern Zhili were almost replaced, and all the honest officials transferred from various provinces received the money for the maintenance.

Among them, Tianjin was the most powerful. After receiving the government order, the governor immediately ordered all yamen to send people to dispatch troops to crack down on the increasingly rampant private salt in Tianjin.

The governor of Tianjin was Gao Bangzuo, who was originally in Liaodong. After being recommended by Sun Chengzong, he was appointed as the governor of Tianjin by Zhu Youxiao. He had just taken office less than a month.

The reason why the governor was established in Tianjin was to cooperate with Liaodong's military operations and form a triangle with Denglai and Dongjiang that could support each other at any time. Secondly, it was to capture Tianjin's private salt.

At this time, the salt workers in Changlu Salt Farm were all incorporated into formal employees of the Royal Salt Company, and salt production also turned into salt drying. The salt production in Changlu Salt Farm was shipped to various places for sale, and there would be no private salt flowing out at all. However, the canal ship had a great demand for private salt. When you go back, you can't let the ship go back empty, which is too unprofitable. So salt became a large batch of smuggled goods in the canal transport, which basically formed an exception, and basically came out of the situation.

Gao Bangzuo personally took people to inspect the private salt, and this time he came to the real world.

Those private salt dealers were caught off guard by Gao Bangzo without reacting at all, and arrested more than 300 people in just one day.

But there are obviously more to private salt dealers.

Just the next day, a violent anti-French incident occurred in Tianjin. A team of constables who inspected private salt and several temporary workers were arrested by private salt dealers while setting up checkpoints to inspect. A temporary worker and a constable were hacked to death on the spot.
