Chapter 131: Inspiration
Lin Qingliang nodded happily and said: "There is no problem, the planting method of wheat is actually very simple, and I have taught a lot of apprentices, when the time comes, I will take them over to help, and I will teach Baohui until they are proficient, you can rest assured!" β
Li Yi smiled with gratitude, and continued: "Boss Lin's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and he has donated a lot of money to support the 'Tzu Chi Federation', helping many poor people, and now he has promised to teach wheat planting methods, we don't know how to express our gratitude!" β
Lin Qingliang smiled faintly and said, "What is Li Dashuai talking about!" I, Lin Qingliang, am a citizen of Yunnan in the Han Dynasty, and I should do these things, besides, what's the use of asking for so much money! Ha ha! β
"But! When it comes to money, I'm actually not too much, hehe! β
"Recently, I am planning to set up a trading house, concentrate all my assets there, and set up some workshops such as brewing, tea, and inns through this trading house, and donate a part of it to the Tzu Chi General Association whenever I earn enough money."
"Just like Dashuai said, this can not only drive the development of our Yunnan economy, but also help some people in need, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
In Lin Qingliang's industry, Li Yi is a real major shareholder, and Lin Qingliang said it in front of Qian Shitang and Jian Zheng, the purpose is nothing more than to tell Li Yi that he is ready to develop the industry with great fanfare.
Of course, this is a tacit thing, but it is like seeing the clouds and fog for Li Yi, making him wake up like a dream.
Li Yi slapped the table and said excitedly: "That's right! This is great, Mr. Lin's idea is so insightful! It's been so long, why haven't I thought of it! Hi! That's it. β
Everyone was stunned, probably saying in their hearts, our handsome man won't eat too much pastries! No matter how delicious it is, I can't be so excited! It can't be choking
Li Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart, in fact, how did they know that although they were committed to developing Yunnan's economy, they had not been able to grasp the essentials, and they did whatever they wanted, and there was no target plan, nor did they have a department in charge of economic work and investment management to be responsible for the promotion of various projects, which was also the main reason why economic development has been without vitality and progress has not been ideal.
Thinking of this, a mature idea quickly formed in Li Yi's mind.
Li Yi said with great interest: "Everyone, Mr. Lin's idea is really good, and his idea reminds me. Yunnan's economic development has been lagging behind because there is no strong department to directly manage and promote. β
"What are we waiting for! Why not set up a management organization responsible for operating assets to unify the operation of agricultural production, commercial markets, foreign trade, etc., wouldn't the effect be much better? β
Without waiting for everyone to interject, Li Yi continued: "My idea is that our government will also set up a commercial bank, which will be responsible for managing government-run land and operating some government-run shops, and doing a good job in border trade with foreign countries. β
"Moreover, we can also make joint ventures with private merchants or individuals with strength and technology, and under the golden sign of the government, we will develop and expand our advantageous industries in Yunnan and attract foreign businessmen to do business in Yunnan."
"It needs to be made clear that our purpose in doing this is not to compete with the people for profit, but to take the lead of the government to drive various advantageous industries in Yunnan and bring real benefits to the people. What do you think? β
After Qian Shitang and the others heard Li Yi finish speaking, they looked at each other one by one, as if they were still confused, and they couldn't understand his intentions at all.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi knows that this trendy way of thinking can resonate with avant-garde people like Lin Qingliang, which is too advanced for others, and they will not be able to understand it for a while, and when I go back, I will tell them about it!
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't wait to stand up and bid farewell to Lin Qingliang.
Returning to the Xuanfu envoy's yamen, Li Yi immediately convened a meeting of five people: Qian Shitang, Jian Zheng, Zheng Wenzhong, Lin Yi, and He Shoujie.
The idea of establishing a commercial bank and the specific implementation strategy were put forward for everyone to discuss and put forward suggestions.
At the beginning, everyone couldn't figure out Li Yi's true intentions, and they couldn't say anything ugly.
There was no way, Li Yi had to explain and elaborate in more detail, and thoroughly explained the pros and cons of establishing a commercial bank, so that everyone understood and unconditionally agreed.
Li Yi had already thought of the name of the firm, and it was called Dahan Yunnan Commercial Bank, and the next thing was the composition of the personnel organization of the firm.
Under the current circumstances, everyone is not familiar with this form of business organization, does not understand its operating procedures, and may not be able to meet the set requirements, so Li Yi had to reluctantly serve as the president of Yunnan Commercial Bank. The vice president is concurrently served by Zheng Wenzhong, the Yunnan transit envoy, and Bo Linyi, the head of the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy.
The specific responsible manager of the firm is Lin Jin, who is clear-minded and easy to accept new things.
Although he is still on the construction site of Binh Duong Pass, this position is only qualified for him, and he will keep it for him for the time being, and wait for him to come back.
In addition, while arranging for the whole of Yunnan to recruit business talents, Li Yi also transferred more than a dozen deacons who knew how to operate and manage, and had certain ability in economic affairs from the yamen at all levels, to enrich the Yunnan Commercial Bank and be responsible for managing the daily affairs of the commercial bank.
The start-up capital of the commercial bank is not a problem, because the assets of Sun Decheng and others, according to the arrangement of the imperial court, have now been collected by the Yunnan government.
Although more than 700,000 taels have been spent, there are still more than 1 million taels of money and countless silk and satin fabrics and rare leather goods.
Li Yi arranged for Lin Yi to auction off all those satin fabrics and rare leather goods, and obtained 1.8 million yuan, of which 500,000 yuan was taken out as the capital for the start-up of the Yunnan Commercial Bank.
Yunnan Commercial Bank has set up Yunnan Bank, with a capital of only 200,000 yuan for the time being, and currently only carries out small deposit and loan business, and vigorously absorbs depositors' funds with the government's reputation as a guarantee.
When the strength gradually increases, it will launch a large-amount capital lending business.
The shop of Yunnan Commercial Bank is selected in a large house facing the street before Sun Decheng, this house has three entrances before and after, a total of 38 houses, the interior and exterior are very exquisitely decorated, and the area is also large enough, so that the commercial bank saves a lot of money.
The seven or eight houses on the street are more than enough for the faΓ§ade of Yunnan Bank.
