The most successful business people in the world are actually not Rockefeller and Morgan.
It¡¯s that bad old man who is stingy to the extreme¡ªSam Walton.
?This name is unfamiliar to many people.
But with a little explanation, people will suddenly understand.
Sam¡¯s Club is a very popular Sam¡¯s Club store recently. It claims that ¡°Whether you are middle class or not can be determined by the number of times you go to Sam¡¯s and the prices you pay.¡±
He changed the surname Walton and established a supermarket called "Wal-Mart", the first in the world.
Since the 1980s, Wal-Mart has been the world's largest supermarket group.
Many people say that in the era of online shopping, Wal-Mart has completely sluggish and cannot keep up with the times.
This is not quite correct.
You have to know that in the 2021 world rich list, four of the top fifteen places are members of the Walton family.
Together they surpass Bezos and Musk.
In other words, in the past twenty or thirty years, the wealth and property created by Sam Walton is actually the undisputed number one in the world.
Not even the crazy Internet age can defeat him.
What is the secret of such a most successful businessman?
Extremely low profit margins and extremely low inventory costs.
Precisely because their goods circulate very quickly and greatly reduce the cost of warehousing and stocking goods, they have achieved ultra-high revenue and earned a lot of wealth under extremely low profit margins.
Liu Mingqi can¡¯t learn Wal-Mart¡¯s warehousing and transportation.
Unless he carries his technological mastermind with him, he will not be able to see satellites in the sky until the day he leaves the world.
¡°However, the reduction in commodity profit margins is what Liu Mingqi needs to learn.
But the reason is not to sell more things, but simply to not make too much money.
Is it good to make money?
Nonsense!
Of course!
But you earn tens of millions of taels a year, which is even equivalent to the annual income of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Would you like to give it a try?
No emperor would tolerate such a fat sheep by his side. Even Liu Mingqi would continue to take advantage of this rich man.
This is how Shen Wansan died.
Even if Liu Mingqi is not Shen Wansan, and King Yu and King De are both princes of the empire, if he still wants to test his humanity after having so much money, he can only be said to be an idiot.
Therefore, Liu Mingqi had already discussed with her mother that they had evaded taxes in many aspects.
Now according to the imperial court's commercial tax entries, Prince Yu's Mansion should have an income of more than 9 million taels this year, or about 10 million taels.
Such an income can still be tolerated by the emperor.
After all, one is his most beloved brother, and the other is his nephew who has repeatedly contributed strategies to the country and solved big problems.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just because of my nephew¡¯s contributions, he should make as much money as he deserves.
But if the business continues to develop like this, constantly increasing the number of people hired, and constantly expanding the scale, your annual income will only be 10 million to 20, which seems a bit funny, and you will treat others as fools.
Therefore, you must be prepared for a rainy day and don¡¯t let others¡¯ impression of you become ¡°lying¡± or ¡°dishonest¡±, otherwise it will be difficult for you to behave as a person and do things.
But you can¡¯t lower the price too sharply at once, otherwise it will be more likely to make people suspicious.
Liu Mingqi discussed with Princess Yu that after the beginning of next year, they would first carry out a round of 20% off price cuts, and then continue to expand operations and improve the treatment of hired workers and government officials, so that they can reasonably "control" the income to 1,000. Wan Liang up and down.
In fact, according to the expansion scale discussed by the two mothers and sons, even if the price is reduced by 20%, and even if the salary is increased a lot, the income will definitely reach 30 million next year.
This year¡¯s price reduction is just the beginning.
After two or three years, prices will continue to drop based on the current price.
By then, making money is no longer the main purpose, but to allow the prosperous people to enjoy better things.
At the same time, we should try our best to sell it to the West and make money there, which is the only way to make money with peace of mind.
"But if you want to go to the west, you need a large and sturdy ship."
It happened that late that night, my uncle rushed to the capital to attend the New Year's banquet.
Because of the Imperial CityAll members of the clan were killed and their heads were given to the Mongols who were chasing them.
But in the end, this guy didn¡¯t end well, and his coffin was dug up.
The Ming Dynasty was different. Most of the Ming Dynasty did business directly with Westerners, because the West had almost completely occupied Southeast Asia, and it only needed to open up the channel of Zheng Chenggong.
Nowadays, Dakang should be more inclined to the Song Dynasty in view of the difference between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
This is actually quite good, because by the time of the Ming Dynasty, there was basically a huge generation gap between us and Europe. We had been thrown far away on the ocean, and it took a lot of effort to catch up.
The ships Liu Mingqi designed for the Caoyun Yamen Shipyard will not officially start sailing offshore on a large scale in three to five years.
It may take more than ten years to progress through the Strait of Malacca and directly into the Indian Ocean.
If you want to build a huge fleet, especially the gunboat fleet of the 18th century, unless the emperor strongly supports it, it will be great if it can be completed in thirty years.
After all, Liu Mingqi is just a clan member who cannot participate in government planning, so what he can do is to continue to sow the seeds and let them take root and sprout, giving this already brilliant country more opportunities to continue to lead.
Of course, that¡¯s not all Liu Mingqi wants to do.
The uncle in front of me has all the advantages of an adventurer.
Liu Mingqi always thought that if there was someone who could fight in the ocean on his behalf, it would be his uncle.
Of course, Liu Mingqi will equip him with all supplies and emergency items and give him the greatest support, so he can rest assured.
Let me think about it, what other risks are there on the ocean?
Poor Xu Dongping, he didn¡¯t expect that his nephew was going to push him into the sea of ??fire, and he was just eating hard.
In his opinion, the reason why his nephew asked Haiyang was purely because he wanted to do business with those people.
It¡¯s good to do business.
Especially these products from Yuwangfu are simply unimaginable.
Especially the magic medicine that has become popular throughout Jiangnan recently.
In the twelfth lunar month, a wealthy daughter-in-law in Jiangnan, who kept vomiting blood and felt hot all over her body due to postpartum infection, became stable in a few days after taking the miracle medicine. The family was so happy that although the miracle medicine was Expensive, but really worth it.
There are many examples like this.
Let's see!
¡° Such a miraculous medicine, this time I come to the capital, I have to take some more with me! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
