Chapter 2579

Of course, Li Fa's proactive overtures were not without purpose. He hosted a banquet for Dai Yingda today and invited so many local celebrities to accompany him. In fact, they were all for the same purpose, which was to promote in-depth cooperation between Qiong Lianfa and Yangzhou salt merchants.

Obtain commercial resources and production and sales channels provided by salt merchants in the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Before that, the two parties had already held a round of talks in Yangzhou and reached some cooperation intentions. This time Dai Yingda came to Hangzhou, Li Fa naturally wanted to find ways to seize this rare opportunity and achieve the cooperation goal as soon as possible.

Dai Yingda roughly understood Li Fa's intention. After expressing his gratitude, he took the initiative to mention the cooperation project between the two parties. Although what he said was very rough, Tao Hongfang and others were secretly shocked.

According to the content of the previous discussions between the two parties, Qiong Lianfa and Yangzhou Salt Merchants will cooperate in many fields such as traditional agriculture, trade and retail, sea and land transportation, infrastructure projects, cultural and educational industries, and the content of the cooperation is not just a general talk.

, there have been specific project plans in each area.

For example, in the transportation industry, the two parties agreed to open a chain of horse and carriage shops connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River with Yangzhou and Hangzhou as the centers. They established a chain of horse and carriage shops in Yingtianfu, Guangzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Zhenjiang and other places between the two places.

The land express transportation system has greatly improved the speed of regional logistics and promoted the development of commerce and trade.

Such a project requires the establishment of intensive business locations in multiple state capitals, and each business location must be equipped with a large number of vehicles and horses. The initial investment is naturally huge, and it also requires a large number of manpower to deploy to various places. It will definitely be difficult for ordinary merchants to operate this kind of business.

It is a large-scale project. However, both companies have abundant funds and should be able to get twice the result with half the effort when implemented.

The business goal of this project is not just to serve their own material transportation, but to rely on large-scale operations to seize the transportation market in this region and become the leading leader in this industry.

When Li Fa went to Yangzhou last time, he proposed a comprehensive operation plan to Dai Yingda, including preliminary preparations, business strategies, management models, etc. Because the details were too complicated, Dai Yingda did not agree immediately at that time, only saying that more work was needed.

Study the plan and consider it carefully. This time he came to Hangzhou, and among the cooperation projects he wanted to finalize, he included this chain of horse and carriage stores.

And such projects do not exist in isolation. They are also supported by water transportation projects to make use of the developed shipping conditions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to supplement land transportation. In addition, there are also related terminal infrastructure projects to supplement land transportation.

Achieve seamless connection of water and land transportation in important areas.

When this series of industries are on the right track, both Yangzhou salt merchants and Qiong Lianfa can reduce their trade logistics costs to a very low level, thereby having lower operating costs. Although the initial

The preparation and construction period may be relatively long, but for interest groups of the size of Qiong Lianfa and the Salt Merchant Family, what they value is not the immediate future, but the long-term benefits in the future.

Tao Hongfang and Ning Zijing's professional fields are both business and trade. Listening to these two business tycoons talking about such a large-scale business cooperation project, although there was not much expression on their faces, they were very surprised in their hearts.

Cross-regional and cross-industry business cooperation like this can of course also exist in the southern region where trade is developed, but it is usually organized by the government to coordinate all aspects of affairs, so that private business institutions can join with confidence, and the government will supervise it to a certain extent.

, to ensure that these projects will not go wrong in the operation process.

Although Qiong Lianfa also has a certain official background, there is no official participation in what they talked about. It seems that both parties are very confident in each other's strength and believe that they can operate on their own without official participation.

In addition, the scope of industry cooperation between the two parties was far beyond Tao Ning's expectations. They originally thought that the cooperation between the two companies should be based on the salt industry, using the sales channels of salt merchants to drive other business activities.

However, I did not expect that the cooperation content discussed by the two parties had almost nothing to do with the salt industry, and actually planned to start a new project from scratch.

However, it can also be heard from the conversation between the two that it was Qiong Lianfa who proposed these cooperation projects, and the salt merchants who had always wanted to get rid of the traditional field and expand their business scope, after learning about these cooperation plans, worked with Qiong Lianfa.

Lianfa and Lianfa hit it off immediately. Both companies are wealthy owners and have no financial difficulties. After the two principals make a decision, someone will naturally put their plans into practice.

The scope discussed by the two seems to be just the beginning. The scope of cooperation between the two parties will continue to expand on this basis, and its scale is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary private commercial operations.

The two of them talked about the projects that would be implemented next while they were drinking. Li Fa did not forget to ask Tao Hongfang to express his opinion: "Master Tao is working in the Ministry of Commerce, so he might as well do it."

Give some pointers from an official perspective and find out the flaws in our cooperation plan to see if there is anything wrong with it?"

Although Tao Hongfang held an official position, he did not dare to put on airs in front of elders like Li Fa. He quickly responded: "The younger generation has little talent and knowledge, how dare he give advice to the elders. The cooperation plan proposed by the two is very good. I believe that we can use it to

In promoting the development of business and trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, results may be seen in three to five years, and by then this cooperation may become a model for our country's business community."

Tao Hongfang's praise was extremely high, which made Li Fa and Dai Yingda smile with joy.

Li Fa smiled and said: "Master Tao is so optimistic about our cooperation, it seems that the future is bright!"

Dai Yingda also agreed: "If Mr. Tao can stay in Hangzhou for a longer time, I will give you more advice in the future."

By this time, Tao Hongfang had actually already thought that Li Fa's purpose of inviting these people to attend this event was to use their identities to endorse Qiong Lianfa. But now it seems that this

The effect seems to be pretty good, and Dai Yingda should also agree with Li Fa's approach.

Tao Hongfang did not want to make an excuse. According to the consistent practice of the Ministry of Commerce, the government encourages this kind of private commercial activities that can promote the development of commerce and trade, and it is natural to say a few words. Moreover, he has a cooperative approach to the two companies.

He is indeed a bit interested. If he can have the opportunity to learn more details, it will definitely help him study the business conditions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
