The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 128 Contributing shares to control the business hall
Office.

Gao Zhen took Wang Ren and begged to see the little prince.

"Master Wang and the others are in the room, please sit down for a while." A clerk politely got up to receive the two of them.

The people in the clerk's office have a high status, neither Gao Zhen nor Wang Ren dare to neglect.

soon.

The clerk brought two cups of hot tea.

"You're very kind, thank you."

After the two thanked each other, Gao Zhen's expression was natural, and Wang Ren beside him was fidgeting.

Thinking of going into the little prince's office later, I feel nervous.

"It's okay, don't think about it."

Gao Zhen smiled.

He is a person from the past, and he was like this before, but he has been in contact with the little prince a lot, and the little prince has a kind personality, so this layer of fear is gone.

inside.

Regarding the matter of the coke refinery, everyone communicated for more than half an hour without knowing it.

All that needs to be said has been said, Zhu Gaochi thought about it, and thought that he still had to do it himself, even if he didn't know production, at least he could point out the direction for everyone and save a lot of trial and error costs and time.

"When was the last kiln opened?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Wang Ben replied quickly.

"Get ready, when the kiln opens, we will go to the site."

Worried that everyone would worry too much and delay the production, Zhu Gaochi confessed: "We also have some ideas, let's study them together."

Hearing this statement, Wang Ben was secretly relieved.

When they left the document room, they saw Gao Zhen who had returned with a steward beside her.

Wang Ben knew Wang Ren and knew that he was the manager of the outer cabinet, so he took the initiative to say hello, Xiao Jiu and Li Er didn't know Wang Ren, so they nodded to him.

Soon, quiet was restored.

Wang Ren looked at Gao Zhen, and Gao Zhen glanced at the document, but didn't get up to urge her.

The clerk raised his head, looked around, seemed to remember something, then walked lightly to the door of the inner room, and knocked on the door lightly.

"Enter."

The clerk pushed the door open and walked in. Soon, he leaned half his body out of the door and waved to Gao Zhen and Wang Ren.

Wang Ren stood up abruptly, took a step, then backed away, looking at Gao Zhen nervously.

"Relax, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes."

Gao Zhen gave Wang Ren a word and led him in.

"Little lord."

"Little lord."

Wang Ren called after Gao Zhen.

"Wang Ren."

Zhu Gaochi raised his head, pronounced his name clearly, with a smile on his face, very kind.

Kindness is a bit of a violation.

After all, for a boy who has just turned 15, his face is neither immature nor ostentatious, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

"On the way to Miyun, I heard shopkeeper Gao talking about you. You have some good ideas about the Briquette Chamber of Commerce. It seems that it is really reassuring to entrust this matter to you."

"Don't dare."

Wang Ren, who had always been eloquent, became a little silly.

"sit down."

Gao Zhen tugged at Wang Ren, and led him to sit on a chair beside her.

Zhu Gaochi had a good impression of Wang Ren.

In Zhu Gaochi’s opinion, the last time’s regulations on using money as a substitute for service, and Gao Zhen on the road, the idea of ​​the factory lending money to the owner of the honeycomb briquette workshop, are some very clever ideas.

Wang Ren held the charter tightly in his hand, his eyelids moved again and again, and he felt a layer of restraint on his body.

Do you want to be more active?

Will it make the little prince dissatisfied?

Why didn't the shopkeeper speak, waiting for himself to speak?

"My lord, here is the charter I wrote." Wang Ren suddenly stood up and walked forward, holding the notebook in his hand.

The sudden movement not only startled Gao Zhen, but even the young secretary at the door took a few steps forward.

Gao Zhen, who came to her senses, wished she could slap herself twice.

"Hehe." Zhu Gaochi laughed, and reached out to take the brochure in Wang Ren's hand, Wang Ren was stunned in a daze.

I don't know whether to walk back and sit down, or continue to stand where I am.

The booklet is very detailed.

There are eight honeycomb coal workshops that have joined the Chamber of Commerce, the monthly output, the number of workers, the mode of operation, the approximate profit and so on.

And to open new honeycomb coal workshops in other state capitals, which point out small but many production methods.

In other words, it is to decentralize the establishment of workshops.

Honeycomb coal workshops are set up in every state capital. According to the geographical location, there are many briquette workshops in large state capitals, and one in each county.

There are nearly [-] prefectures and counties in Beiping, and it is estimated that [-] honeycomb coal workshops will be opened before the commercial roads can be fully laid.

There are 20 million people in Peiping, counting as five people per household, which is more than [-] households.

According to the statistics of later generations, the urban population in the Southern Song Dynasty was as high as 20.00%, and it was [-]% in the Ming Dynasty.

The urban population of more than 8 households is the main user of honeycomb briquette. Excluding the unsuitable groups in the city and supplemented by the lower-level market, the annual sales are expected to reach [-] to [-] taels of silver.

Around this emerging briquette industry chain, the scale of operators formed will exceed 2000.

The market price of a hundred catties of coal is three cents, and the chamber of commerce purchases it from coal mines, which can be reduced to two cents. Half of the briquettes are coal and half are clay, and the cost of clay is low.

Excluding labor expenses and transportation costs, the net profit of briquettes will reach [-]%.

According to the plan of this charter, if it is completed, it will increase three times compared with the current total market volume of honeycomb coal.

After Zhu Gaochi finished reading, a smile appeared on his face.

"You're ignoring parts of the market."

Gao Zhen and Wang Ren showed questioning eyes.

"Workers are also urban groups."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

China Heavy Industry has thousands of workers, which is equivalent to thousands of families, plus the workers of honeycomb coal and the groups in the mine.

This is the charm of industry.

Create consumer groups.

Although the consumption power in rural areas is not as good as that in cities, it will generate a lot of consumption power when the products are of good quality and cheap.

In rural areas, industrial products such as matches, kerosene lamps, and fertilizers are also used.

"The current foundation of Beiping in my dynasty is weak. If the urban population reaches 20.00% like the Song Dynasty, then the annual output value of the honeycomb coal market can reach at least nearly 20 taels. Coupled with the vast rural market, it is expected to exceed 30 taels."

"This goal is not difficult. We estimate that we will break through within five years." Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

The first industrial revolution in the UK was completed, and the urban population reached 60.00% [-].

It took more than 100 years.

It just fits the case of ten people cited by Zhu Gaochi.

There are ten people in the society, three people are left to cultivate the land, and seven people are devoted to other industries.

How to shorten this time?
social distribution.

One's own identity just has this qualification to allocate social resources.

Therefore, within five years, it is not difficult for the urban population of Beiping to break through 20.00%, or even reach 30.00%.

The only ones who can hinder him are Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

"There is no problem with this planning charter. As for the proposed cost, we think it is a question of capital, and the factory can contribute."

Wang Ren showed joy on his face, but Gao Zhen didn't think it was so simple.

really.

Zhu Gaochi also said: "The factory is willing to promote the prosperity of the market and give up part of the profits, but the factory also needs to make a profit, and cannot sacrifice the basics for the last."

"According to the proportion of investment, the factory must take a share and not pursue the maximum profit, but it must have a certain degree of control over the merchants of the chamber of commerce."

When the urban population of Beiping breaks through to 30.00%, coupled with the driven rural economy, the market volume of honeycomb coal alone is expected to be more than 100 million taels of silver.

At that time, the coal industry was even more massive.

coal age.

Zhu Gaochi must use all means to control the coal in his hands, which is equivalent to mastering the times, otherwise he is just making a wedding dress for others.

"The factory contributes 1 taels of capital and provides it to various laying markets. The minimum guarantee for each company is [-]% of the shares, and the upper limit does not exceed [-]%."

"At the same time, a contract is signed, and it is agreed that there will be a share transaction in the future, and the same market price will be sold to the other party first."

"There are still specific considerations. You can go back and discuss carefully, and you can also convene various parties to brainstorm and achieve a win-win effect."

……

The briquette chamber of commerce inside the factory.

Wang Ren summoned eight honeycomb coal workshop owners, which were also the eight largest in Beiping City. People knew that it was about the principal, so they didn't dare to be sloppy, so they rushed over immediately.

"Don't worry, wait for everyone to arrive."

Wang Ren had a firm attitude and refused to disclose in advance, even those who arrived first had no choice.

Everyone chatted while drinking tea.

After waiting for an hour, it was considered that all eight people had arrived.

"Wang Guanshi, we are all acquaintances, don't be polite, just talk directly." Deputy curator Guo Song mentioned it to everyone.

Wang Ren agreed with a smile, did not continue to play tricks, and took out a new charter, which was more detailed than the previous one.

According to the prospect in the charter, the market will triple, which means that the capital in the hands of each company will triple next year.

Guo Song saw it differently.

The market has tripled, but it doesn't mean that my workshop has only tripled, and I can seize more markets.

He looked at the charter in his hand without saying a word, without showing his attitude.

Whatever other people say, he goes along with it.

Wang Ren glanced at Guo Song wonderingly, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Guo Dong's family? You don't talk much today."

"It's nothing."

"It's a good thing to have a factory holding shares, and we can't wait for it." A businessman laughed.

"Occupying shares in a factory is a matter of business. Don't make too many guesses, lest you make mistakes." Wang Ren reminded.

The people in their heavy industry dare not mess around outside, how could they allow their partners to make trouble in their name.

"How could this be the case, Manager Wang misunderstood."

This charter is indeed very generous.

There are a lot of capital contributions and shares, but there are not many requirements for shares, and there is no management right, but there is a certain right to speak.

Coupled with the status brought behind it, it is very cost-effective.

However, people have different ideas, and some people are not even willing to join the chamber of commerce, so they cannot be generalized.

But the eight businessmen present here are all out of competition. If you have the courage and businessmen, you will naturally have ambitions.

Many people also have Guo Song's idea.

Someone suggested that no one should have any ideas about the other, and make a joint agreement that each of them would give up two shares to the factory.

Seeing someone punctured his mind, Guo Song also gave up this plan, regained his enthusiasm, and began to fight for his own interests.

His workshop is the largest and employs the largest number of workers, so he deserves strong support.
