This matter cannot be explained in a moment.

This time, the banquet about restructuring and setting rules was eaten for three whole days.

Three days later, Liu Yu mentioned it.

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

"Get rich, there are more people to be lively, and everyone earns money together."

"Buying and selling, there are profits and losses, although I have some money, I don't want to bear it all alone."

The businessmen's ears were furrowed, and they all wanted to know what the deal was, but at this time, Liu Yu sold Guanzi.

Someone said: "The business done by Ying Sabo can only be earned, how can there be losses?" Since it is a deal that Eagle Sabo has figured out, we must participate in it no matter what. If you lose, you will lose, anyway, you have to buy shares, and the loss is not to go bankrupt. ”

"Yes, Uncle Ying might as well talk about it, my heart is itching a lot."

Liu Yu smiled: "This matter will not be clear for a while." Then go out and give me a message. Half a month later, I'm here for a treat. ”

"Whoever has this mind comes. When the time comes, let's talk about this new business, new business. ”

These people all felt that they would definitely be able to make a fortune by following Liu Yugan, and at this time they all shouted: "What a big deal is this?" Could it be that those of us who can't afford to pay for it? ”

Those who are qualified 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 have enough money, how big of a deal does it have to be?

The bigger the cost, the bigger the deal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that you can't afford it, it's that you may not be willing to pay it. We don't force it, if you are willing to come out, if you don't want to go out, you can't go out, naturally the more people, the better. ”

"The more people there are, the less responsibility is shared, and the more people share the responsibility. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Some of the trades, the more people there are, the more lively they are. ”

"In business, don't talk about official things. From a businessman's point of view, this trading company now has rules, even if you commit a crime, you will only confiscate the part of your stock. If you did it yourself, if you committed it...... What should I do if I raid my home? ”

Speaking of this, the scene suddenly cooled down.

The fortune in the past few years, as well as Liu Yu's honest performance all the time, made these businessmen forget that kind of risk when facing Liu Yu...... The risks of the imperial court raiding, apportionment, and association.

Dashun is generally good to Xungui, and when he founded the country, because Li Laiheng was young, he survived those meritorious generals, and he did not slaughter meritorious heroes.

This makes people believe that Xungui is the strongest backer.

Now that Liu Yu has spoken, these people are also depressed.

Liu Yu saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he simply stopped there.

"Well, if you don't say it today, you won't say it. That's it for today, and after half a month, those who want to come will come. When the time comes, it will be clear what kind of business it is. ”

As soon as the banquet dispersed, the news spread, and all kinds of conjectures emerged one after another.

With the example of the formalization of the trading company, and the trust of the former gold market, many people pondered the need to dig up the silver from the cellar as soon as possible.

If you can participate in the shares this time, you must be able to participate as much as you can.

Liu Yu is trustworthy, especially under the credibility of giving up so many profits and raising real money with real money.

Every year, the dividends of the trading company are a major event in Songjiang, and the silver of the white flowers is piled up at the door of the trading company, and they receive this year's dividends according to their respective stocks.

It is deliberately to get people to get familiar with this kind of cooperation as soon as possible.

Millions of taels of silver were piled up there, and anyone would be dizzy.

Poor people are not qualified to participate in shares, but they like to see such a bustle, watching those dizzying silver dreams of making a fortune.

The rich have the ability to participate in shares, but many people have missed it before, hesitated and waited, watching the value of the bills like waste paper rise gradually, and the dividends of the silver that are spent every year like showing off their wealth, and the bowels of regret are green.

This deliberate act of sharing dividends in public has dyed a piece of the West not bright and the East bright.

The West experienced the South China Sea bubble, and even Newton lost a lot of money, and he had to sigh that he could calculate the orbit of the celestial body, but he could not calculate the stock market; The introduction of the Bubble Act, which prohibited the formation of companies that could transfer shares without the king's authorization, led to the collapse of joint-stock companies in Britain for decades.

And in Songjiang in the east, the large amount of silver distributed by the trading company every year stimulated people's fanaticism.

Under the stable political situation and the rise of foreign trade, a large amount of silver capital was accumulated near Songjiang. People are hungry for a chance to make a fortune.

Half a month later, the news that Liu Yu was going to hold a banquet came out, which suddenly made the surroundings of Songjiang shake.

Instead of a banquet, people heard a large amount of silver and dividends beckoning to them.

As for how much profit and rate of return there is, they believe that Liu Yu can bring wealth, and those silver dividends every year have made many people fall into blindness.

What is known and familiar is passed on from person to person.

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

Here and Guangdong, perhaps the most capital-rich area in the entire Dashun region. Half a month means a radius of seven days, and the people who do business here have eyes and ears in Songjiang.

Soon, the news spread for hundreds of miles. Anyone who could come up with a few thousand taels of silver hurried towards Songjiang.

I missed it last time, and I can't miss it again 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, with his official status as a guarantee, shipping as a tool to shorten the distance, Weihai as the axis of the pivot, and the joint-stock company as a means to invest the capital of Jiangnan in the north.

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

Gangnam has money, a lot of money.

But there are no large coal mines and iron mines in Jiangnan, especially the ones that are very close.

There is coal and iron in Liaodong, and there is a lot of coal, a lot of iron.

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

Originally, Liaodong and Songjiang were far away, so far away that the people of Songjiang felt that they were outside the world, after all, Saibei.

Now, with the development of trade with Japan, the maritime base has shortened this distance.

With the new routes, trading companies were able to sail directly from Matsue to Nagasaki, Japan, and from Matsue to Liaodong with ease.

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

Once the distance is shortened and the joint-stock company is formalized, the merchants of Jiangnan can sit in Songjiang, wait for the money, raise capital, and develop the coal and iron mines in Liaodong.

Make money, definitely make money.

It's just that in the past, businessmen did whatever they could do.

Now the emergence of joint-stock companies such as trading companies makes it possible for businessmen not to know how to do it themselves, as long as they set the rules and invest money.

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

In the long run, the reclamation of Liaoning immigrants, the reclamation of Whale Sea, the reclamation of Mongolian immigrants, and the trade between Korea and Japan all made the construction of the coal and iron industry in eastern Liaoning very profitable.

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 and coal mines are close to the country's tenth largest river, the Liao River.

It's just that this kind of profitability is long-term, and it is unlikely to be earned in the short term, at least with a three-to-five-year cycle.

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

On the basis of this kind of "fooling", Liu Yu has been planning and preparing for several years, and it is finally time to harvest.

After removing the existing foundations of Dashun such as immigration to Liaodong and allowing shipping, the rest of the foundations were laid by him in recent years.

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

The joint-stock trading company, after several years of development, has made people trust and familiar with it, at least in the Songjiang area.

His military training in Weihai made Weihai a hub and transit point for communication between Liaoning and Songjiang, shortening the impression of people's concept of distance.

The exploration of new routes, the use of sextants, etc., makes it possible for Songjiang to go directly to Weihai without having to go along the coastline in the deep sea, and Weihai has a very mature route to reach the mouth of the Liaohe River.

The war against Japan and the plot to lease land from Korea also made the construction of iron-smelting workshops profitable.

Weihai's military factory 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 made many people believe that they can sit in Songjiang and wait for dividends, rather than smelting iron before they have to smelt iron.

As for the local officials in Liaoning, businessmen naturally don't have to think about it. They are sure that as long as Liu Yu participates, there will definitely be no magistrates who are unreasonable and blackmail.

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

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

Let Songjiang become the financial center of Dashun, let southern Liaoning and central Liaoning become the starting point of heavy industry in the north, and let Weihai become the hub connecting the north and south, forming a large circle that includes North Korea and Japan, this is his plan for the north.

In addition to setting up an iron-smelting industry in Liaoning, he also had to sell new industries and businesses such as cigarettes, glass, and matches.

The original textile industry has basically been saturated, so it can only start from scratch and create new consumer goods to allow more people to participate in it.

In fact, in these industries, even if it is iron smelting in Liaoning, Liu Yu can still afford to make money.

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

He hopes to take this opportunity to promote this new system of shareholding and dividends, and professional craftsmen are responsible, so as to form an acceptable habit in the Songjiang area.

Change the habit of doing handicrafts in the past, having to have your own craftsmanship, relying on a little bit of accumulation, and finally making a big one from generation to generation.

It is very important to rely on several industries to form a kind of 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 to trade in the past, but also has the habit impact brought by trading companies in recent years, which is still very basic.

The imperial court now does not have a special policy to protect industry and commerce, and to ensure that there is no association and joint liability, or limited liability.

But Liu Yu, as a noble official, has a distorted identity that allows businessmen to let go of this worry for the time being.

This time, of course, it is necessary to set aside a part of the shares for the emperor and the nobles, and bind them to this interest, at least in a short period of time, there will be a lot less trouble.
