Xinshun 1730

Chapter 235
This matter cannot be explained clearly in a short while.

This time, the banquet on restructuring and setting rules lasted for three full days.

Three days later, Liu Yu mentioned it.

"This time I came from Weihai, not only to complete the business of this trading company, but also to do some other business. I hope more people will participate, and everyone will discuss whether to do it."

"Get rich, there are many people to be lively, and everyone who has money can make money together."

"Business, there are profits and losses. Although I have some money, I don't want to bear it all by myself."

The ears of the merchants perked up, all wanting to know what the deal was, but at this time Liu Yu played tricks.

Someone said: "The business that Ying Sobo does is only to make money, how can there be any losses? Since it is a business that Ying Sobo has figured out, we have to participate in it no matter what. It’s not about breaking the bank.”

"Yeah, Yingsuobo might as well tell me, I feel very itchy waiting for this."

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I won't be able to explain this matter for a while. How about this, after you go out, send a message for me. It is said that half a month later, I will treat you here."

"Anyone who has this thought will come. Then, let's talk about this new business, a new transaction."

These people felt that they would definitely make a fortune by following Liu Yu, and they shouted at this time: "How big is Ying Suobo's business? Could it be that we people can't afford this money?"

Those who are eligible to participate in the banquet today are all big businessmen in Songjiang, who doesn't have tens of thousands of taels of silver in their hands?
If the people here don't even have enough money, how big of a deal is this going to be?

The bigger the cost, the bigger the deal.

"Everyone, it's not that you can't afford the money, but that you may not be willing to pay. We don't force it, we will pay those who are willing to pay, and those who are not willing to pay. Naturally, the more people the better."

"The more people there are, the less responsibilities are shared, and the more people share responsibilities. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in insurance. For some businesses, the more people there are, the more lively they are."

"In business, I don't talk about official affairs. I'm speaking from the perspective of a businessman. Now this trading company has rules. Even if you commit a crime, it will only confiscate your stock. Just ask, If you did it yourself, if you committed a crime... what can you do if you ransack your house?"

Speaking of this, the scene suddenly cooled down.

Having made a fortune in the past few years, and Liu Yu's performance of sharing profits with sincerity, these businessmen have forgotten that kind of risk when facing Liu Yu...the court ransacked the house, apportioned, implicated, and associated risks.

Generally speaking, Dashun was good to the nobles. When the country was founded, because Li Laiheng was young, he killed those generals who had made great military exploits, and he did not slaughter the heroes.

This makes people believe that Xungui is the strongest backer.

Now that Liu Yu has spoken, these people feel depressed for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Liu Yu simply stopped here.

"Forget it, if you don't talk about it today, you won't talk about it. Let's break up today. After half a month, anyone who wants to come will come. At that time, we will know what kind of business it is."

As soon as the banquet was over, the news spread, and various conjectures emerged one after another.

With the example of the formalization of the trading company and the trust of the previous daughters, many people are thinking about digging out the silver in the cellar as soon as possible.

If you can participate in shares this time, you must participate as much as you can.

Liu Yu is worthy of trust, especially with the reputation raised by giving up so much profit and using real money.

Every year, the dividend distribution of trading companies is a major event in Songjiang. The vain money is piled up at the door of the trading company, and they receive this year's dividends according to their respective stocks.

Deliberately, it is to make people familiar with this cooperation method as soon as possible.

Millions of taels of silver piled up there would make anyone dizzy.

Poor people are not eligible to participate in shares, but they like to watch such excitement, watching those dizzying silver dreams of getting rich.

Rich people have the ability to participate in shares, but many people missed it before. They hesitated and waited and watched. They watched the value of paper-like bills rise steadily, and the dividends were paid out every year like a show of wealth. The intestines of regret are green .

This deliberate intention to share dividends in public has dyed a dark west and a bright east.

The West experienced the South Sea bubble, and even Newton lost a lot of money. He had to lament that he could calculate the orbit of celestial bodies but could not calculate the stock market. The company that transferred the shares made the joint-stock companies in the UK slump until decades later.

In Songjiang in the east, the large amount of silver that the trading company distributes every year has aroused people's frenzy.

Under the stable political situation and the rise of foreign trade, a large amount of silver capital has accumulated near Songjiang.People are yearning for a chance to get rich.

After half a month, the news that Liu Yu was going to hold a banquet came out, and the surrounding areas of Songjiang were shaken all at once.

What people heard was not a banquet, but a large amount of money and dividends waving to them.

As for the profit and rate of return, they believe that Liu Yu can bring wealth, and the annual dividends of silver have blinded many people.

Known, familiar, person to person.

Those who don't know, those who are not familiar with, after hearing the news, quickly spread the news to the surrounding area.

Here and Guangdong may be the most capital-rich areas in Dashun.Half a month means a radius of seven days. People who do business here have eyes and ears in Songjiang.

Soon, the news spread within hundreds of miles.Anyone who could come up with a few thousand taels of silver rushed towards Songjiang in a hurry.

I missed it last time, and I can't miss it this time.

As for what Liu Yu is going to do and what new business he has, no one knows.

In fact, what Liu Yu wants to do can be summed up in one sentence, using his official status as a guarantee, using sea transportation as a tool to shorten distances, using Weihai as an axis transfer hub, and using joint-stock companies as a means to invest Jiangnan's capital in north.

Dashun wants to carry out the industrial revolution, and there is a big problem, that is, the capital-rich area and the resource-rich area are separated.

Jiangnan is rich and has a lot of money.

But there are no large coal mines and iron mines in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the ones that are very close.

Liaodong has coal and iron, and there is a lot of coal and a lot of iron.

But Liaodong has no money, not enough capital to support a large coal and iron mine.

Originally, Liaodong and Songjiang were far away, so far away that people in Songjiang felt that it was outside the world, after all, Saibei.

But now, the sea transportation basis for the development of trade with Japan has shortened this distance.

After mastering the new route, trading companies can not only fly directly from Songjiang to Nagasaki, Japan, but also sail from Songjiang to Liaodong with ease.

The soybeans and wheat transported from Liaodong to Songjiang every year are a microcosm.

Once the distance is shortened and the joint-stock company is formalized, businessmen in Jiangnan can sit in Songjiang and wait for the money to be raised to develop the coal and iron mines in Liaodong.

Make money, definitely make money.

It's just that in the past, whatever businessmen did, they did what they knew.

Now with the emergence of joint-stock companies like trading companies, businessmen don't have to know how to do it themselves, as long as they set up the rules, they can do it with money.

In the short term, if Dashun wants to reform the military, it needs a lot of iron to support the military industry.

In the long run, the reclamation of immigrants from Liaoning, Jinghai, Mongolia, and trade with North Korea and Japan all made it very profitable to build a coal and iron industry in Liaodong.

In the longer term, Liaoning is the most suitable heavy industry base for Dashun.At least it is more suitable than Shanxi, because Shanxi has no sea transportation, and Liaoning's iron ore and coal mines are close to the tenth largest river in the country, the Liaohe River.

It's just that this kind of profit is long-term, and it is impossible to make money in the short term, at least it will take a cycle of three to five years.

Relying on the shock of the trading company's dividends and relying on Liu Yu's personal reputation, Liu Yu believes that as long as he fools around shamelessly, just like Nanhai Company, many people will definitely be "fooled".

Liu Yu has been planning and preparing for this basis of "being fooled" for several years, and finally it is time to harvest.

Excluding Dashun's existing foundations of emigrating to Liaodong and allowing sea transportation, the rest of the foundations were laid by him in the past few years.

His official status and previous profit concessions have won the trust of everyone.

After several years of development, the joint-stock system of trading companies has been trusted and familiar to people in Songjiang area at least.

He trained troops in Weihai, making Weihai a hub and transfer station for communication between Liaoning and Songjiang, shortening people's concept of distance in the impression.

Exploring new routes and the use of sextants have made it possible for Songjiang to reach Weihai directly without going along the coastline through the deep sea, and Weihai has a very mature route to reach the mouth of the Liaohe River.

The war against Japan and the planning of renting land against North Korea also made it profitable to build iron smelting workshops.

The military factory in Weihai coincides with the Dashun military reform, and there will be a steady stream of orders for at least ten years.

The foreshadowing of the shareholding system has convinced many people that they can sit in Songjiang and wait for dividends, instead of smelting iron only if they have to know how to smelt iron.

As for the local official status in Liaoning, businessmen naturally don't have to think about it.They are sure that as long as Liu Yu participates, there will be no unreasonable troubles and extortion by local officials.

These foundations were not achieved overnight, but were accumulated little by little from the beginning a few years ago when they clearly had the ability to dominate Japan's trade but insisted on dividends.

It is a class that can change the world, not a single person.Otherwise, it is just a change of dynasty.

Let Songjiang become the financial center of Dashun, make southern Liaozhong the starting point of heavy industry in the north, make Weihai a hub connecting the north and the south, and form a large circle including North Korea and Japan. This is his plan for the north.

In addition to trying to trick you into starting an iron smelting industry in Liaoning, he also wanted to sell emerging industries such as cigarettes, glass, and matches.

The original textile industry is basically saturated, so we can only start anew to produce new consumer products and let more people participate in it.

In fact, Liu Yu can still afford to engage in these industries, even if he is making iron in Liaoning.

But money is just a tool, and the purpose does not necessarily have to be to make money.

He even hopes to take this opportunity to promote this new system of shareholding, operation and dividends, and professional craftsmen in charge, at least to form an acceptable habit in Songjiang area.

To change the previous habit of doing handicraft industry, you must have your own craftsmanship, accumulate a little bit of family wealth, pass it down from generation to generation, and finally grow into a big habit.

It is very important to rely on several industries to form an atmosphere.

This time the focus is really not on raising funds, but on cultivating habits and ethos.Songjiang not only has the custom of going to Japan as a joint stock company for trade, but also has the habit impact brought by trading companies in recent years, which is still very basic.

The imperial court currently has no special policy to protect industry and commerce, to ensure that there is no implicated and joint liability, or limited liability.

However, Liu Yu's distorted identity as an official nobleman allowed the businessmen to let go of their worries for the time being.

This time, for the shareholding, of course, it is still necessary to reserve a part of the shares for the emperor and nobles, and bind them to this interest, at least in a short period of time, it will save a lot of trouble.
