Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 316 The first step to revitalize the Ministry of Industry!
Kaifeng Mansion.

Registrar and military officer, oh, no, now he is the Grand Judge Deng of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Today, because the left and right halls of Kaifeng Prefecture have been abolished, the three major figures of Kaifeng Prefecture are the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, the assistant magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Although Deng Qi was only the third-ranking figure, the political legacy left by Su Yun was basically inherited by Deng Qi. Therefore, Deng Qi's power was even greater than that of the Tongpan. However, Deng Qi was a good person and did not cause dissatisfaction among others.

After more than a year of hard work, Deng Qi has integrated all the resources under his control.

Deng Qi did not plan to work overtime today. He packed up early in the morning, then staggered out of Kaifeng Prefecture and headed towards Su Mansion.

Since Su Yun came back from the northwest, Deng Qi basically went to Su Mansion every few days. It was not a rare thing, but today there was something more important.

Today is Minister Su's first day in office. Given his temperament, he must have important things to do when he returns tonight.

Deng Qi certainly knew that the Ministry of Industry was a mess, but with Su Yun's ability, no matter how bad the mess was, he had a way to revive it.

Kaifeng Prefecture was bad enough before, the Northwest Army was bad enough, but wasn't it Minister Su who brought them out?

Sure enough, Deng Qi arrived at the Su Mansion, and Su Yun had just returned. Su Yun was not surprised to see Deng Qi, and smiled and said, "You came just in time, I just happened to need your help with something."

Deng Qi smiled and said, "I just came to see if you need any help. Do you have any ideas?"

Su Yun pointed to the desk and said, "Take a look at it yourself. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

Deng Qi glanced over and noticed a stack of manuscripts on the desk. He sat down behind the desk and started reading.

Su Yun smiled when he saw that Deng Qi did not treat him as an outsider.

Deng Qi was immediately fascinated by the scene. After a long while, he stood up from behind the desk, walked in front of Su Yun, and asked, "What can I do?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Do you understand?"

Deng Qi smiled and said, "I understand a little bit."

Su Yun nodded and smiled: "Then let me tell you, um, go and call Ah Hui and Ah Hu."

After Su Yun returned to Bian Jing, A Hui left some people behind to continue running the business, while he brought most of the people back.

Without Su Yun in the northwest, there would be nothing good to stay there. If you want to do business, you have to go to a treasure place like Bian Jing.

After a while, Ah Hui and Ah Hu arrived at the study.

Su Yun pulled out a rather large piece of paper from the manuscript paper, on which was drawn a simple map. Although it was a simple map, the dense lines constructed a very beautiful city.

This immediately attracted the attention of Ah Hui and Ah Hu.

Ah Hui asked anxiously: "Ah Yun, what is this?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "This is a place dedicated to doing business. You can call it a mall, a commercial plaza, a commercial complex, etc.

All kinds of industries are concentrated here, and there is nothing you cannot buy in this place.

There will be two routes here. One is that we invite high-quality merchants to settle in, such as local famous wine merchants, local famous specialties, etc.

Another route is that we will open a large boutique department store ourselves. The goods will be carefully selected and purchased from all over the country and concentrated in this department store. In this way, as long as you enter our department store, you can buy all kinds of exquisite and safe goods.

Of course, in order not to compete with ordinary merchants, the things we sell here are all high-quality products. The prices are naturally different from those sold outside, but we can also ensure that these things are the best.

Our customer base is the wealthy families in Kaifeng Prefecture, so we don’t have to run around the city when purchasing various supplies.

It also targets a large number of customers from all over the country, allowing them to buy exquisite goods here without having to search for them in the unfamiliar city of Bianjing.

The sale of goods is only one aspect. On the other hand, we will also bring together food, drink, entertainment and fun. As long as you enter this mall, whether you want to buy goods or want to eat, stay and entertain, you can find everything here.

I want to make this place the first place that every Bianjing resident will think of when they go out for a trip, and I will also make it the first place that all tourists who come to Bianjing choose to visit!" Su Yun's words immediately made Deng Qi, Ah Hui, and Ah Hu all gasp.

They have already imagined how this mall will become popular throughout the Song Dynasty once it appears!

Su Yun continued, "Bianjing City is undoubtedly the most prosperous place in the world, but its business is too scattered and mixed with good and bad businesses, and there are many flaws.

First of all, businesses are too fragmented, with various industries scattered across various streets. For example, if you want to buy New Year's goods, you basically have to run across half of the city of Bianjing to buy everything. But in our mall, you can buy everything in one stop.

Secondly, the quality varies a lot. The sale of fake and inferior products is very serious. It is difficult to guarantee that the things you buy are genuine and good. But we are the first to screen them for customers. Everything you buy from us is good stuff! "

Deng Qi praised: "Let alone other things, just what you said already makes me feel a little tempted, not to mention those women who like shopping. If my wife knew there was such a place, wouldn't she spend all my monthly salary?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ah Hui and Ah Hu both laughed.

Su Yun also laughed and said, "That's not all. I'm just afraid that the places to eat, drink and have fun inside will make Judge Deng so happy that he won't want to leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Qi and the others burst into laughter, showing a smile that all men can understand.

Su Yun smiled, and then said: "I called you here today to discuss how to deal with this matter. This is the first measure I will take to revitalize the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry now has no money, no people, and no power. The first thing I want to do to revitalize the Ministry of Industry is to raise money. Setting up this shopping mall is actually a helpless move.

But no matter what, it seems that the Ministry of Industry’s own treasury is filled up, otherwise nothing can be done without money.

Therefore, the bulk of this mall must belong to the Ministry of Industry. I will take out less than half of the share to attract investment. This is of course for the purpose of raising funds in the early stage, but more importantly, it is to unite some other forces. Therefore, there will not be much left for you. You must understand this point. "

Ah Hui didn't care and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the market share is a little smaller, but we must use our own supply chain. As long as we have this supply chain, we will not suffer any loss.

Ah Yun, as you just said, all the products in the mall must be carefully selected from all over the country. I will arrange this right away and ensure that the ones selected are the best!"

Su Yun looked at A Hui with admiration. A Hui had indeed grown up. He immediately realized the importance of mastering the supply chain. As long as one masters the supply chain, one will master the lifeblood of the mall!

Ah Hui then asked, "Does the Ministry of Industry only need a local shopping mall in Bianjing?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Why, do you want to open it somewhere else?"

Ah Hui chuckled and said, "It depends on your needs. If the Ministry of Industry needs more, then I won't make any other plans. If one place in Bianjing City is enough, then don't waste it in other places.

I plan to observe the operation of this mall, and then use it to improve the supply chain. Then we can open this type of mall in major cities in the Song Dynasty. With mature experience and a mature supply chain, it will be easy to scale up. "

Ah Hui's words immediately made Su Yun look at him with new eyes. He did not expect that Ah Hui not only saw the value of the supply chain, but also immediately looked several steps forward. Just as Ah Hui said, after learning from the experience of the Bian Jing shopping mall, if it were to be expanded to major cities throughout the Song Dynasty in the future, wouldn't it be the same as those commercial groups in later generations?

Su Yun thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Your idea is good. The Ministry of Industry does not need too much. It just needs to earn the first pot of gold. With the starting capital, when the Ministry of Industry takes back the power, it will naturally not need this."

Ah Hui and Ah Hu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Deng Qi was not a businessman, but he was an official. He also saw many benefits from it. Deng Qi quickly said, "The Ministry of Industry should not have many people now. We in Kaifeng Prefecture have many talents. If you need, I can always find many elite soldiers and generals to strengthen the Ministry of Industry."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Of course. Once this mall is up and running and the Ministry of Industry takes back its power, a huge number of people will be needed. Please help me keep some of them."

Deng Qi was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry. We have so many clerks in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are so many outstanding sons and nephews. They all have talents passed down from their families, and they are just worried about having nowhere to go.

There are also countless outstanding talents in the warehouses and treasuries under Kaifeng Prefecture. As long as you need them, they can naturally be sent to you."

This is exactly what Su Yun wanted to hear. The Ministry of Industry is short of people, but not just everyone. What it lacks are people who can really get things done.

The nephews and nieces of the clerks in Kaifeng Prefecture have inherited skills from their family and can do the work right away. The same goes for the warehouse and treasury affairs. The key is that Su Yun wants to borrow the resources of Kaifeng Prefecture and the warehouse and treasury affairs!

To build and operate this shopping mall, the resources needed are enormous, and relying solely on the supply chain of Ah Hui and Ah Hu is not enough.

In this era, the government has the most resources, including but not limited to land, logistics, policies, warehousing, and security. Kaifeng Prefecture and its warehouses and treasuries can basically solve 80% to 90% of these problems!
In this way, once planned, the mall can raise massive amounts of funds, and can also obtain Kaifeng Prefecture's human resources, administrative resources, warehouse resources, and then in the process of building the mall, it can also absorb a large number of craftsmen!
By this time, all the problems faced by the Ministry of Industry will be solved!
