Chapter 786: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Indeed, the common people have become rich.
In particular, within the jurisdiction of the original Chengde and Henghai Jiedu.
These two places are also the core areas that Li Ze now governs.
No matter what time it is, our people have the habit of saving money, and habitually keep money at home in case of emergency.
For Li Ze, saving money is a good habit, but he doesn't like everyone to keep all their money at home.
Money, let him turn up, in order to play his greatest effect.
Therefore, he desperately hopes that everyone can use all the money in their hands after leaving a part of the coffin book, so as to make the market more dynamic. Only by buying more things can it be possible to produce more things.
For a former top master of capital operation, looking at a large amount of money idle, he has a feeling of distress to death.
He's short of money!
No matter how much money the imperial court can make every year, Li Ze seems to be in a state of lack of money.
Pinglu, which has just been brought under its rule, is now in urgent need of a large amount of investment, whether it is to restore the people's livelihood economy, or to create jobs, or to build roads and bridges, and to build water conservancy, a large amount of money needs to be invested, not to mention, he is also preparing to build a second large port in Jiaozhou Bay.
Each of these budgets is in the tens of millions.
The court can't take it out.
Of course, you have to think of a way.
On another level, Li Ze faced a new problem, after solving the problems of those super big landlords and gentry in the ruling area, in seven or eight years, under his rule, a new class appeared, super big businessmen.
It's like Jin Mantang.
They are forming supertrusts that have become monopolies in their industries.
As a businessman, Jin Mantang is undoubtedly extremely smart, and in the past, he was in a state of trembling for a long time, so that he could keenly realize that when his strength was too strong, it would inevitably attract the attention of those in power and have the psychology of dealing with him, so he began to shrink his front.
Just like this time the charts that he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to open up new routes.
If he had not sold these charts, there would be no doubt that the route would be exclusive to him, and he would have continued to enjoy the windfall profits, but he was well aware that he was unique, and that for every additional share of such windfall profits, he was in more danger. Maybe not now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Don't look at Li Ze's undressing and pushing food to him now, but if one day, when Li Ze feels that his Jin family threatens the rule, he will not hesitate to clean himself up.
Therefore, he sold nautical charts and let everyone get involved, although he earned less, but correspondingly, he was safe.
Similarly, he wanted Shenglong Qianzhuang to withdraw from Wuwei Qianzhuang because of this idea.
From Li Ze's reaction, Jin Mantang knew that what he was worried about was not unreasonable.
Because Li Ze immediately came up with a way to deal with it.
Obviously, Li Ze has been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Li Ze has of course been thinking about the current situation for a long time. When the power of a class reaches a certain stage, they will inevitably have further demands, which is an indisputable thing.
He is extremely experienced in such things.
After he exerted his efforts to defeat the big gentry and big landlords, he naturally did not want some new big chaebols to pose a new threat to the rule of the imperial court.
The threat to the rule of the big landlords and gentry to the imperial court can almost be said to be naked and undisguised, and they use the land and the people who are bound to the land to form a closed small group, and the dependence of a large number of people on them enables them to effectively form a substantial threat to the regime.
The big chaebols, on the other hand, are a hidden threat to the regime, and they are always quietly using their money to cultivate their own spokesmen. Or these big chaebols under their own rule are not fully aware of this, and are just doing this thing unconsciously, but one day, they will react.
Li Ze wants to decompose these big chaebols, at least, he can't let the huge amount of wealth be concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people.
The model of Boxing Trading Company is the one that Li Ze thinks is more suitable now.
Boxing, which was originally a settlement for the Khitans by itself. Over the years, it has become an area where people of all ethnic groups live together, not only Khitans, but also a large number of Yi people who have fled from other places, and of course, there are also a large number of Tang people. They started out in the farming industry, then set up a large number of woolen mills and other factories, and under Tieler's leadership, Boxing is now the most famous meat production area and wool spinning center in the north. One-third of the clothes of the soldiers of the entire Tang army are produced here.
Now, Boxing has stretched out its tentacles, involving ocean shipping, inland waterway transportation, public transportation, etc.
But the way they operate is the most special.
Every citizen of Boxing is a shareholder of Boxing Trading Company.
At the beginning, when these people moved to Boxing, they really didn't understand anything, and Li Ze designed such a model for them. Everyone took out their only property, and then gathered these properties together to form the Boxing Trading Company, the more or less the property, the more or less the shares they occupied in the Boxing Trading Company, even their patriarch Yeluqi, in the entire Boxing Trading Company, only occupied 20% of the shares.
In the following years, more people moved to Boxing, and these people paid for shares, of course, at this time, the shares that these people bought with their money were much more expensive than at the beginning. And Boxing Trading Company relied on the addition of these new blood to further expand its own strength, so that it really began to walk out of Boxing and became the world-famous Boxing Trading Company.
However, the total number of shareholders of Boxing Trading Company exceeds tens of thousands. And these people come from a variety of sources, and the Khitan people in Boxing are only part of them. After seven or eight years of development, more and more people in the Boxing trading company have been occupied by people who entered later and have more business acumen. Although the largest shareholder among them is still the Yelu family, and there are also smart figures like Yelu Fengze, Boxing Trading Company will never be able to become a word.
Such a big chaebol is what Li Ze is most assured about.
After Li Ze said this, Jin Mantang immediately thought of Boxing Trading Company. Of course, he has always been very concerned about Boxing Trading Company, because such a trading company with a special way of operation is too different from these old businessmen. Obviously, Li Ze hopes that the Shenglong Qianzhuang under his command will also become such a consortium in the future, and not just in the hands of the Jin family.
"Li Xiang, then what do you think is the Jin family, how much equity should be held?" Jin Mantang tore off a scented rabbit leg, smiled and handed it to Li Tang, who had come to offer the treasure again, this little guy had just made a fish with a middle finger, and was dancing with excitement.
"I think three percent is enough!" Li Zedao.
"Sancheng, will it be too low?" Jin Mantang was slightly shocked: "Li Xiang, over the years, the Jin family has cultivated a large number of talents who are good at running the bank, if the shares are too small......"
Li Ze said with a smile: "When selling shares, there are certain restrictions in advance, for example, how many shares can each household buy, how many years can not be transferred, etc., so that although you only have 30% of the shares, you can still maintain control and the right to speak in the bank!" The rules, you make them yourself, don't you? ”
"The knowledge here seems to be very deep!" Jin Mantang nodded thoughtfully.
"Of course, now that Xia He is thinking about these issues, you might as well discuss them with her more when you have time." Li Zedao.
"That's naturally going to ask Xia Shangshu for advice." Jin Mantang said with a smile: "In this way, Shenglong's cash flow is extremely abundant, Li Xiang, I am going to invest this money in Pinglu and other places, I don't know what Li Xiangyi will do?" ”
Li Ze laughed, Jin Mantang is always so knowledgeable and interesting.
"Whether it is Pinglu or Hetao, compared to our Wuwei Henghai area, it is almost still a barbaric period, but it is precisely because of this that there are a lot of opportunities to catch, Uncle Jin Shi, your vision is admirable!" Li Ze laughed.
"Without Li Xiang's guidance, how could I have these ideas!" Jin Mantang was also smiling: "I will implement this matter this year, and when everything is in order, I will get up and go to the Wa Kingdom." ”
"When to go to the Wa Kingdom, you are in charge, this is not a matter of urgency. It is a long-term business process. Li Ze nodded, "It's almost baked, let's go, let's go have a few drinks together." ”
Hand in hand with Jin Mantang, he walked in the direction where Li Anguo was, where, Aunt Tao had already laid out a huge blanket, and all kinds of snacks were already full.
Li Ze very much hoped that the other big chaebols in the territory would wake up and take the initiative after seeing Jin Mantang's actions. In this way, you don't have to remind them one by one.
Of course, if they are not conscious, they can also beat them appropriately, these guys now have many little arguments in the hands of the internal guards.
The imperial court now needs a lot of cash flow to invest in Pinglu, Hetao, and those border states, and if these super chaebols can do this, they will be able to kill two birds with one stone, which will not only solve Li Ze's worries, but also solve the problem of where there is a shortage of money now.
Jin Mantang is a benchmark, and when he moves, others should be able to see the clue from it.
These people, which one is not a human spirit!
