"I see!" As soon as Chen Xu said this, Chen Ping and others suddenly realized.

"Master Hou, how can this service station and logistics market be mortgaged to get enough money and grain of tens of millions of stones?"

"My tentative assumption is that the service station is two million dollars, and the mortgage time is ten years, and the logistics market is eight million dollars, and the mortgage time is also ten years!"

"But Master Hou, it's still far from this calculation, even if it's 10 million stone grain, it's nearly 40,000 yuan, and if you mortgage it all, the income will only add up to 70 million yuan, which is too far away!" Flexible-minded people have quickly figured out the gap between income and expenses.

"These alone are certainly not enough, but there is also the right to build a cement plant, in order to repair this road as soon as possible, I am ready to authorize the establishment of a cement factory in every county in the country, and provide the cement production formula, and each cement plant will cost 5 million yuan......

"Hiss~~" Everyone took a breath of cool air.

At present, in the 36 counties of the country, if these cement factories are successfully authorized, 180,000 yuan will be raised.

"Master Hou, if your two plans are successfully planned, you can almost raise 25,000 yuan, but it is still not enough, not to mention what if these cement factories can't be sold in the short term?" Chen Ping tugged at the few sparse whiskers on his chin and said with some concern.

"There is no need to put the funds in place at one time, because the road is not repaired in one day, the road can be repaired by bidding in stages of difficulty, and the businessmen who participate in the construction will pay the funds in advance, and the payment will be made after passing the acceptance, and your task is to continue to help me promote the benefits of cement and cement roads through the newspaper, so that the businessmen of the whole country know about it, not to mention that now nearly one-third of the rich businessmen in the country are concentrated in Xianyang, Luoyang and Nanyang and other places, and they must have heard of cement. Originally, there were many wealthy businessmen in Xianyang who wanted to get the firing method of cement, but I never agreed, this time I could knock them well, cement as a building weapon, the future is a hen that will lay golden eggs, who grabs the hand will make money in the future to earn soft hands and feet, as for the remaining funds I will think of other ways! ”

"Okay, don't worry, Master Hou, we will conduct a detailed analysis of the information you said about Dongfang Dao as soon as possible in the next two days, and then report the fundraising situation in detail!" Chen Ping, Fu An and the others all nodded together.

"Well, you send a few people to set up a special team to follow up, by the way, the day after tomorrow, there is a group of businessmen from Nanyang and Hedong counties who want to come to Xianyang, all of whom participated in the three chapters of the covenant, and the newspaper also arranges a few reporters to do some interviews and publish them in the next issue of the newspaper, in general, the last few issues of the newspaper will report on the movements of businessmen with great fanfare, Weihe Bridge, cement, Dongfang Road and other commercial topics, whether I can bet on winning this game of Li Si depends on the success of this fundraising, So the role of your newspaper is very important! ”

"Master Hou, don't worry, our newspaper will spare no effort to help you defeat Li Si! Hehe, once Hou Ye succeeds, I'm afraid that Li Si will have to take a detour when he sees Hou Ye in the future! Several editors sneered with bright eyes, completely discarding the scribe's festival and turning into Chen Xu's dog.

Chen Xu stayed in the newspaper for almost an hour, and carefully explained all kinds of fund-raising plans in detail, as for how to write the newspaper, Chen Ping and others needed to carefully consider it.

And the next thing to do, Chen Xu is to start preparing for the Dongfang Road Engineering Headquarters, and the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu will jointly set up a department to coordinate the construction of the Dongfang Road.

The Academy of Sciences is responsible for arranging people to survey and map the route, and the bridge and road are calibrated according to the difficulty of construction, and the bridge must have a special craftsman and craftsman of the Academy of Sciences to design and direct the construction, as for the road, it is simple, and each construction team will appoint a craftsman and a few helpers to carry out simple training.

The Ministry of Works is naturally responsible for arranging for the supervisors to carry out the road planning and project acceptance.

The Shaofu is in charge of the resources of the whole country, and is naturally responsible for coordinating the troubles of the construction process and the local counties, as well as the collection of sand and gravel and the burning of cement for supervision and guidance, and cannot dig indiscriminately, nor allow the local people to destroy and attack the normal construction process of the construction team.

Chen Xu returned to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion from the newspaper hall, but found that Fan Caiying was already waiting in the living room, and when he saw Chen Xu going home, he immediately anxiously greeted him and asked about the bet.

For this sky-high investment, she is very worried that the consumption of 10 million stone money and grain is also an astronomical amount for the wealthy Fan's family, because the assets of the entire Fan family are all added up, and it is estimated that it will not exceed 20 million yuan, and it is only 500,000 stone when converted into grain, and it can almost only build a Weihe Bridge, but for the businessmen and wealthy people in the country, they are already the group of people who stand at the top of the rich and rich, and they can count it on their fingers across the country.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family had never been involved with any nobles and royal families of the former Seven Kingdoms, they would have been moved to Xianyang by Qin Shi Huang long ago.

Chen Xu told her about fundraising, and at the same time asked her to be ready, and after Fan Yan and a group of businessmen came to Xianyang to discuss, he would immediately go to the money bank in Wancheng, Daliang, Luoyang and other places to prepare a large amount of start-up funds.

At present, Huaxia money has opened nearly 20 stores in the country, and almost all of them are concentrated in the prosperous areas of the Central Plains, as for the remote areas have not been developed much, one is not enough manpower, and the other is that the distance is too far to keep up with the management.

In fact, the reason why Chen Xu has great confidence in this road construction is not because of fundraising, but because of the existence of Huaxia Qianzhuang.

As Huaxia Money Zhuang is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more branches, and the turnover of Huaxia Money Village in China every month is at least 10 million yuan, and the regular deposits have already exceeded 100 million, most of which are gold, which is also Chen Xu's request, and a large amount of gold is absorbed as a reserve.

The main thing is that all businessmen have developed the habit of depositing money in the money bank, and then using deposit receipts and bills to carry out large-amount transactions.

Because the deposit receipt needs to be signed and withdrawn by the depositor in person, both parties to the transaction need to be in the same place, and after the transaction is completed, they do not need to deliver cash, but run to the counter of the bank to transfer money together, and the transaction is completed.

Later, Chen Xu invented a fixed amount of bills, just like the silver bills of later generations, save 10,000 money, you don't need to open an account, the money bank directly gives some fixed amount of bills, these bills are like banknotes nationwide, you can go to the local money bank at any time to withdraw, anyone can, do not need to sign, this method is more convenient than the deposit certificate, and now more and more merchants use the exchange bill to trade.

Whether it is a certificate of deposit or a bill exchange, it is issued according to the number of coins deposited by the merchants, and several reviews ensure that they will not be issued indiscriminately, so the exchange bill is still a substitute coupon of equivalent currency, not a paper money printed in later generations, and the country can print as much as it wants.

Whether it is a certificate of deposit or a bill of exchange, when trading between merchants and merchants, these money are actually still in Huaxia money and have not been taken out, there is no copper coin circulation on the market, the purchase and sale all depend on the credit of Huaxia money and a piece of paper, but this paper is difficult to imitate, not only with a special white paper, but also with a lot of strange anti-counterfeiting technology and symbols, each place of the money village code is different, each exchange and deposit certificate number also has a special meaning, In addition, there are six or seven review seals and signatures on each deposit receipt and redemption note, as long as the staff of the money bank knows at a glance that the deposit receipt and exchange bill are issued by the money bank, which few people handle it, once there is a problem and report it to the headquarters, arrange someone to check it, and the possibility of doing tricks and feet is extremely small.

It is precisely because all the transactions between merchants are endorsed by the credit of Huaxia Bank, and there is no real coin circulation, which also gives Chen Xu a great space to operate.

In later generations, the financial industry had great leverage operations, and all leverage ultimately came down to banks, because almost all financial behaviors were linked to banks, and the source of leverage was liabilities and credit.

Archimedes once said, give me a lever and I can lift the earth.

And Chen Xu is short of money at the moment, he can also use the credit of Huaxia Qian Zhuang as leverage, and use the income of the service area and logistics center on the Dongfang Road in preparation for the next ten or even twenty years as collateral to issue a large amount of credit bonds as a redemption note, just like a loan to all the businessmen involved in the construction of this road, these businessmen can take these cashiers who have no money to buy various building materials such as grain, cement, sand and gravel, and the businessmen who receive the cashing bills use these redemption notes to buy large amounts of goods like ordinary bills. The only difference is that there is only a redemption of bills in the market, and there is not so much money, once the Huaxia money is exchanged, it will inevitably collapse.

However, according to Daqin, who basically did not have the slightest financial knowledge, it was basically impossible to see through the doorway, because in addition to leverage, Chen Xu could also raise funds, and it was mainly based on fundraising, supplemented by redemption of bills, according to the reputation and status of Huaxia Qianzhuang in the businessmen now, there will definitely be no crisis of coaxing and falling.

But no matter how much money can be raised this time, Chen Xu must go on the horse to build the Oriental Road, and he must win this bet.

A total of 400 million yuan of investment was smashed on the dry and bloody wasteland of Daqin, which was like a torrential rain that swept through everything, and all kinds of businesses would spring up from this huge investment, so as to promote Daqin's economy to leapfrog forward.

Domestic demand can stimulate economic development, but the effect is relatively slow and the impact is relatively small, in fact, China's best is investment to drive economic development, the rise of China in later generations, is to flood various infrastructure areas with a large amount of funds, from roads to railways, from airports and terminals to real estate, the whole of China is like a huge construction site, full of dense cranes.

Later generations of China, also known as the infrastructure madman, built a network of highways and railways in all directions in just two decades, and also gave birth to real estate, a pillar industry of the country's economy.
