Chapter 250 Entrepreneurship (3)
Yang Yuxin did not go to the dock to welcome Jiang Yi and Bai Liusu's return because there was an urgent matter being handled.
During this period, the development of Shanghai New District has been quite rapid. On the one hand, it is benefiting from the superior geographical advantages of Shanghai New District, and on the other hand, it is inseparable from Yang Yuxin's personal efforts. Although Yang Yuxin is lustful, he is not a person who only thinks on the lower body. Of course, he knows that being able to live such a life with a large number of wives and concubines is based on the powerful force of the East China government and occupying the real power position of the head of the Shanghai New District. If he wants to maintain such a life and want to go further, he must achieve results in this position and prove his value.
After the Shanghai New District Commercial Center carefully planned by Yang Yuxin, the business has been very popular. Now it has formed a comprehensive commercial area integrating shopping, catering, entertainment, accommodation and leisure. Since the variety of products can be provided here, it can attract a large number of tourists every day, and the daily business flow can reach hundreds of thousands of silver.
Driven by the East China government's films, the entertainment industry of the commercial center is also very developed. Almost all well-known folk art teams in Shanghai have taken over the performances in the Shanghai New District. Because the management of the Shanghai New District is transparent and orderly, there is no additional fee except the venue and share fees that should be paid, and there is no need to visit the wharf to manage the government, and there are no local gangs to cause trouble. In addition, there are many tourists and the performance income is guaranteed. Therefore, it is highly praised by various folk art teams. Several folk art teams have moved their clubs into the Shanghai New District, and other folk art teams have also opened branches in the Shanghai New District.
In addition to the movies and singing and dancing performances unique to the East China government, the Shanghai New District has become an entertainment center in Shanghai, and entertainment has in turn promoted the development of business and catering industries, forming a virtuous cycle. Anyone who comes to Shanghai has to go to Shanghai New District to have a trip. People who are more interested in it. If they don’t go to the Shanghai New District Commercial Center, watch a movie or listen to a play, they can’t be considered to have been to Shanghai. Many tourists from other regions have also come here.
However, Yang Yuxinda did not rest assured because of the booming business center business center. The current business is good, driven by the entertainment industry, and the second is that this business model is unprecedented in this era, so it has a considerable sense of novelty. However, to maintain a good momentum for the long term, we must also work hard on goods and services.
The services of the commercial center are now quite good, but the products that can be provided are not enough. Although compared with this era, the products of the commercial center are extremely rich, Yang Yuxin is a time traveler after all, and his vision is of course different. In fact, in the view of time travelers, this commercial center is more like a farmers' market in the old time and space, because the products are basically daily necessities, while the clothing, shoes, hats, luggage, etc. are very small. Jiang Yi and others decided to start a business and use clothing companies as a breakthrough point, and they also saw that there was insufficient supply of goods in this area and aimed at this gap.
Of course, during this period, Yang Yuxin did not only focus on commercial centers. After all, in the economic system of the East China government, the Shanghai New District is an important foreign commodity distribution center. On the one hand, the industrial products produced by the East China government are sold to other regions through the Shanghai New District, mainly along the Yangtze River and the southeast coastal areas. Now the industry of the East China government is initially in scale and can provide certain industrial products; on the other hand, it is to purchase various minerals and raw materials needed by the East China government to develop the economy, mainly including grain, medicinal materials, raw silk, cotton, wood, various metal ores, etc.
Yang Yuxin also fully utilized his ability to dance and established good cooperative relations with more than a dozen large businessmen, opening up more than 10 commercial lines for the distribution of goods from the East China government, allowing the export of products from the East China government to be smoothly sold, and various materials needed by the East China government were also continuously imported. Therefore, Yang Yuxin's ability and performance in his work were highly praised by the members of the Executive Yuan. Although Yang Yuxin was quite controversial in his personal life, the Executive Yuan still turned a blind eye to this and only thought he didn't know it.
However, the rapid development of Shanghai New District has also caused quite a lot of trouble. First of all, it offended many local gang forces. Shanghai's gang forces are extremely powerful and have a long history. When time travelers first arrived in Shanghai, they still attached great importance to their relationship with local gangs and basically did not invade each other. Even if they were opening a dock or operating shipping, they also respected the rules of gangs very much.
However, after the establishment of the Shanghai New District, it inevitably had conflicts of interest with some local gangs, because although gangs also had certain industries, they also had a large part of the collection of protection fees, set up customs and card collection, and tap commissions. Huangpu River and Yangtze River waterways are the interests of many local gangs. Even many foreign merchants had to accept commissions from local gangs, but the Shanghai New District obviously would not compromise with local gangs. In addition, the Shanghai New District attracted a large number of quyi teams, which caused a significant decline in the quyi market in the old city of Shanghai. The collection of protection fees from the quyi team and commissions from the tickets is also an important source of income for local gangs. Therefore, with the development of the Shanghai New District, the income of most gangs in Shanghai has decreased to varying degrees.
Cutting off people's wealth and wealth is like taking lives. Gangs in Shanghai naturally have no good feelings for the Shanghai New District. In addition, the development of the Shanghai New District also has a huge attraction to the gang. If that gang can control the Shanghai New District, of course it can gain great benefits. Although these gangs also know that overseas Chinese are not easy to mess with, there are also some people who are so frightened that they send people to the Shanghai New District or the Shanghai office to make trouble. Some people also threaten businessmen and artists to not allow them to do business in the Shanghai New District, or even rob and beat up staff in the Shanghai New District.
The Shanghai New District will naturally not be threatened by the gangs, and the retaliation methods are quite strong. They directly dispatched military formations and brought three gangs to the halls of three gangs in a row, completely crippling these three gangs. This also shocked all gangs, and the gangs also understood that overseas Chinese were not as easy as the Qing court, so they could only compromise with the East China government, promising that the gang forces were not allowed to enter the Shanghai New District, and businessmen of the East China government could not be controlled by the gangs.
This caused another sensation in Shanghai. After all, the gang forces have existed for thousands of years, and no matter how the dynasty changes, they will be unshakable. Even if the court sometimes takes stricter control, kills a few gang leaders, or even wipes out a few gangs, new gangs will emerge immediately, replacing the old gangs. It will continue over and over again. Even if foreigners come, the gang force will not be able to be solved. However, the East China government has never been able to completely eliminate gang forces within its own sphere of influence.
Of course, without the interference of the gang, it would be much more convenient to do business. Otherwise, it would be a considerable expense to deal with monsters and monsters from all walks of life. If the gods did not come to the journey, they would be in danger of hurting people and losing money and closing the door and losing money.
One trouble is caused by the prosperity of Shanghai New District. Since Yanran of Shanghai New District has become a fashion center in Shanghai, tourists from all over the world come to have fun, which has attracted a group of powerful children. Of course, some of these people are rich and not afraid of spending money, but their temper is proportional to wealth. They act recklessly and have a strong temper. They fight with each other when they disagree. If they don’t make trouble for three days, they will feel itchy. However, the family is not rich and noble, so no one can provoke them, which also helps the arrogance and temper of these powerful brothers.
However, the powerful and powerful children are not good at playing tricks on the East China government. The East China government will not care about how powerful their family is. Even if the prince and Beile come, they must abide by the rules of the East China government. If someone does not abide by the rules, they will arrest the things they should be cut, and they will be punished. There is no slightest bit of mercy to tell, and it is useless for anyone to speak about love.
Just a few days ago, Chang Qi, the youngest son of Hangzhou General Chang En, came to Shanghai New District for a trip, but he became a young master in Shanghai New District. It turned out that after watching a performance by local artists organized by the time traveler, Chang Qi was indeed very interested in this novel performance form, so he asked two female artists to accompany him on the spot to drink, but of course he was rejected by the troupe. The young master was immediately furious, immediately turned over the table, and ordered his family to go up and grab people.
In fact, Chang Qi didn't know anything. He had heard of the reputation of overseas Chinese, but in his opinion, this place was a place of trunks and tile houses, and he was fighting for only a few actors, which was nothing at all. Na Zhi's theater immediately called the police and took down Chang Qi and his entourage on the spot. Although Chang Qi shouted, "My father is a general in Hangzhou", he received several big slaps in the face, and his face was swollen.
In the end, Chang Qi was sentenced to whip 30 in public, imprisonment for 6 months, confiscated all his property, and during the imprisonment period, he had to complete the work of cleaning the streets every day.
When Hangzhou General Chang En learned that his son was arrested in the Shanghai New District, he was shocked. Of course, he knew that overseas Chinese were not easy to mess with. Although he scolded his son for being ignorant and not being good for provoking anyone, he insisted on provoking overseas Chinese, he was his own son after all, and he could not help him. Moreover, his son was locked up in Shanghai New District, wearing prison clothes to sweep the streets every day, and he couldn't stand it. So Chang En immediately asked for favors everywhere and finally found several businessmen who had business dealings with the Shanghai New District to criticize him, hoping that overseas Chinese could open their doors, let go of his son, and offered a huge sum of 500,000 silver dollars.
