223 Absorb private capital
The casino in Bianliang is now most concerned about Zong Shu's every move.
Any gambling game related to Zong Shu will immediately surprise people's eyes.
Two gambling houses have closed their doors because of Zongshu.
Zong Shu's guidance to Su Yi High School champion made the Beijing gambling house make a lot of money, and the shopkeepers of the gambling house were all smiling.
At that time, Su Yi handed in the papers in advance, walked out of the examination room and said to Zong Shu "I have lost", and the parents who were present to send the exam saw the opportunity and went to the major gambling houses to place bets frantically.
In fact, Su Yi told Zong Shu that the exam question for the exam was "easy to count", and everyone heard it as "lost".
Everyone thought that Su Yi would definitely try to be the first, so he bet regardless of the cost.
Su Yi was the top student in high school, and many people went bankrupt because of this.
On the other hand, the gamblers have made a big profit.
Now, casino owners have found another major opportunity from Zong Shu.
The gambling houses invariably opened a new gambling game: whether Zong Shu succeeded in planting rice in Mi County.
As expected, almost no one bet that Zongshu would succeed.
Those who want to bet on Zongshu to succeed in planting rice have been blacklisted by major gambling houses.
Zong Shu took people and silver tickets to visit the gambling houses in the capital again, but was rejected by the gambling houses again.
Zong Shu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, gambling house owners, are you so daring? Don't dare to take any risks!
Li Shaoyan, who was with Zong Shu, said that the main reason was that the two gambling houses of the Sun family and the Wang family died too miserably, which made all the gambling houses suffer from phobia.
The gambling house didn't dare to let Zong Shu bet at all.
In case Zong Shu succeeds, tragedy will arise.
The gambling house does not allow Zong Shu and his people to participate, and they make money from other people.
As long as there are enough bettors, the casino will make a sure profit.
Walking out of the last gambling house, Zong Shu smiled: "I don't believe it, there is no gambling house for me to bet on!" ”
Li Shaoyan thought to himself, his familiarity with the gambling house in the capital is probably second only to the brothel of the Qinglou, could it be that there is any gambling house that he has not visited?
"We run our own gambling house!" Zong Shu said.
Open your own gambling house! That's a good idea!
Li Shaoyan followed Zong Shu to bet twice and earned tens of thousands of taels of silver. was having fun, and was suddenly blocked by the major gambling houses in the capital.
Betting is Li Shaoyan's second hobby, and even if he enters the gambling house in the future, he can only watch others bet.
Zong Shu's brain is good, other gambling houses don't allow betting, and he will open one himself!
Great, Li Shaoyan said: "Grandmaster, you open a gambling house, I bet." ”
……
A few days later, a new thing happened in Bianliang City, a new gambling house was established, which was next to the Great Song Academy of Sciences.
The name is called: Zong's Gambling House.
There is also an inexplicable symbol behind the name, and the shopkeeper explained that this is called "parentheses", and the name within the symbol is equivalent to the font size of a person.
The trade name of Zong's gambling house is: Da Song Investment Management Company.
On the day of the opening of Zong's gambling house, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared on the scene with two princesses and cut a fine red silk together.
Zong's gambling house is so big, it was opened by Zongyi, the richest businessman in the capital, and there is the support of His Royal Highness the Prince.
cut off the red silk, which is clearly to show everyone that his family is definitely rich.
Everyone just bets, and it is impossible for his clan to not be able to cash out.
Three days before the opening, anyone who comes to visit the store will receive a free pack of "fifteen incense" per person.
This suddenly brought the popularity of "Zong's Gambling House" to the top.
The appearance of "Zong's Gambling House" made other gambling houses nervous.
In the past, Zong Shu and his relatives and friends were on their blacklist.
Now, people are playing on their own! And as soon as they opened, so many people went.
That's not all, the rules of the "Zong's Gambling House" have made all the gambling house owners feel a great crisis.
Zong's Gambling House has launched a new betting project: whether rice cultivation in Mi County is successful.
When the gambler wins the game, he gets the profit he deserves at the prescribed rate.
If the gambler loses the game, the silver taels will be used as the principal and invested in other properties of the Zong family, and dividends will be distributed at the end of each year.
This rule has caused great repercussions in the capital.
Willing to gamble and lose, this is the rule that everyone knows.
Even if you invest 1,000 taels and you don't bet on it, this 1,000 taels will be thrown away for nothing, and you will get back in a lawsuit? No one cares at all.
But the Zong family actually changed the rules of the industry, even if you lose the gamble, but the silver you bet can also be converted into the principal, and you can get dividends.
The dividend ratio of the clan is 5%.
You must know that the other industries of the Zong family are all money-making machines!
In particular, the porcelain of the Zong family, monosodium glutamate, fifteen incense, iodophor, penicillin, charcoal, etc., all make people blush.
I heard that many big businessmen are discussing with the clan family to buy shares.
However, due to the issue of the dividend ratio, the Zong family refused.
So everyone understands that if people's industries are doing well, and they are making money every day, there is no shortage of silver at all, why do you invest in silver, and you don't have to do anything else, you can share dividends?
Now, the Zong family has introduced such a rule.
After analysis, everyone understood Zong Shu's intentions.
Zong Shu's intention was to take revenge on all the gambling houses in the capital, because these gambling houses included Zong Shu in the blacklist of undesirable gamblers.
So, Zong Shu set up a gambling house and pulled gamblers to Zong's gambling house, with the purpose of bringing down other gambling houses.
Zong's gambling house also stipulates that one or two pieces of silver can be betted.
In other words, one or two pieces of silver can become a shareholder of the Zongshi Group, and you can enjoy dividends every year.
Zong Shu is ruthless, he must paralyze the gambling house in the capital!
This is really a ruthless person, you must stay away from him in the future.
In fact, Zong Shu's original intention was not to destroy all the gambling houses, but to think of a bigger game.
Now Zong's Group initially has the appearance of a large group, but the scale of funds is far from enough.
Only by attracting more funds through the method of dividends can we further expand various industries and undertakings.
Without money, nothing can be done.
Zong Shu also thought about cooperating with other businesses, but the conditions for his merchants to invest in shares were very harsh, and they wanted to interfere in the operation after investing too much money.
If the money invested is less, the proportion of dividends should be very high.
Therefore, Zong Shu wanted to start with the people.
The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was extremely developed in commerce, and the consciousness of commodity economy began to sprout.
Many people have a certain amount of spare money, but there is no other investment channel except for their own business or gambling house.
Even if there are investment channels, ordinary people do not dare to invest easily, for fear of being deceived and worrying that they will lose their money.
And through the establishment of gambling houses, gamblers are allowed to participate and convert their principal into funds for the reproduction of the Zong's industry.
In this way, it should be easy to concentrate the spare money in the hands of ordinary people.
Coupled with the ability to pay dividends to shareholders in a timely manner, then there will definitely be more people who will invest their money in Zong's gambling house.
Therefore, Zong Shu added a parenthesis after Zong's gambling house (Da Song Investment Management Company).
In later generations, there are many investment guarantee companies, which can be tens of billions of dollars in urban and rural areas.
The wealth accumulated by the common people, especially the wealth of the newly emerged citizen class in the Northern Song Dynasty, is concentrated and no one can compare.
Zong Shu remembered that the East India Company was a model of the early joint-stock company, and a company could bring down a country!
This is the power of capital.
It is now 1123, and it is only four years before the Jingkang Revolution.
Only by absorbing more non-governmental capital as soon as possible and setting up joint-stock companies can we promote the rapid development of the military, economy, and science and technology.
