Chapter 502: Qingzhou, Qingdao!
The port is a big project, although two-fifths is only one point more than one-third, but the future income is millions or even tens of millions of dollars
"That's what was predecided."
Wu Zhi said slowly, and suddenly Liu An could only be embarrassed and didn't dare to say more, he knew that once Wu Zhi said this, then it would really be decided.
"Wu Zhi, not to mention that you are so generous, you will reduce your income in the future, but it costs a lot of money to build a port, I know that you are rich and rival the country, but with such a large amount of money, you are not afraid that the capital turnover of your industry will not move" Wang Gang persuaded Wu Zhi seriously.
As soon as Wu Zhi opened his mouth, he undertook two-thirds of the investment in the port, which was too big, with Wang Gang's judgment on Wu Zhi's financial resources for many years, he felt that although Wu Zhi could come up with so much money, it also belonged to the bottom line, and once there was any small risk, without financial support, all of Wu Zhi's industries would collapse and go bankrupt in an instant.
"Great Officials"
After Wang Gang finished speaking, Jiang Jing behind him finally couldn't help but speak.
Wu Zhi raised his hand and motioned to Jiang Jing not to speak.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this old king, since I dare to say so, I will naturally have my certainty, not to mention that the money is not in place all at once, you can invest it slowly."
Wu Zhi smiled freely, then looked at the map on the coffee table, and said, "Now, let's study which place to choose as a port."
Seeing that Wu Zhi was so confident, Wang Gang and Liu An admired it, so they had to accompany Wu Zhi to look at the map.
"I think I'll choose this place, Penglai."
The location that Wu Zhi refers to is the location of the Penglai Islands in Dengzhou, the easternmost part of the Shandong Peninsula, which is the closest circle to Japan and Korea, and Wu Zhi naturally points there.
After Wu Zhi ordered the position, Wang Gang, Liu An, and Xiao made their faces embarrassed again.
"Daguanren, this place, we don't recommend you to choose," Xiao said.
"Isn't this suitable for a port?"
"No, it's a good place to build a port, the water is deep, and it's sheltered from the wind. That's why we painted this place. ”
"Since you've drawn it, why don't you recommend me to choose it?"
"Because there is not only a good harbor here, but there is also a Salmon Island not far from the sea."
Hearing this, Wu Zhi immediately understood that from the Tang Dynasty to the present, Shamen Island has been a place where the imperial court has specially exiled condemned prisoners, and the prisoners exiled here are basically nine deaths and one life, which is even more terrifying than exile to the northwest border pass, and this is completely the island of hell.
There are countless rumors about Hell Island, but in short, they try to publicize the harsh environment of the island and the cruelty of the island's criminals. Strange to say, it is obviously just an island, and the prisoners who have been exiled to the island for hundreds of years have all died on the island, and they will not be able to escape from this island for the rest of their lives.
"This island is a murderous island, and it is full of condemned prisoners, and it would be unlucky to build a port near this place." Wang Gang also said.
"Haha, then I have to build a port here."
Wu Zhi laughed and nodded vigorously at Penglai's location on the map.
Seeing that Wu Zhi was "bent on going his own way" Wang Gang, they could only reluctantly obey Wu Zhi.
In fact, they don't understand Wu Zhi's intentions, Wu Zhi's construction of the port is not just as simple as developing commerce, and there are greater goals in the future.
Because of this larger goal, Wu Zhi decided to build a port here so resolutely after learning about Salmon Island.
Criminals, especially those condemned to death without hope for life, are the only ones who can endure the inhuman tribulations and almost cruel attrition and sacrifice that yesterday had to endure to open up new sea routes, and Wu Zhi remembers, when Columbus Magellan opened up new routes in the West and discovered the New World to conquer the sea, the crew brought out to sea were all criminals and vagrants
Normal drunkenness who wants to do such work
Otherwise, Wu Zhi would not be idle, and he would always fight with Wang Gang.
"Hey, why doesn't this circle on the border between Mizhou and Laizhou have a place name?"
Continuing to search the map, Wu Zhi questioned.
"Oh, this is a natural harbor that we discovered when we organized a survey, but there are only a few fishermen living here, so there is no name for the time being." Xiao Rang explained.
"Oh, then build a harbor here, too."
Wu Zhi pinched his chin, and finally showed a little satisfaction in his eyes, the Penglai Port just now was in the north of the Shandong Peninsula, adjacent to the Bohai Bay, and the port demarcated this time was in the south of the Shandong Peninsula, adjacent to the Yellow Sea, and it would be much more convenient to trade with the south in the future.
However, as soon as Wu Zhi's voice fell, everyone present: Wang Gang, Liu An, Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing, and even Brother Yun all brushed their faces, they said in their hearts, what happened to the big officials today, it won't be a magic barrier This building a port is not about building a house, just build it, that kind of investment, even the imperial court does not dare to make a decision easily, but the big officials are so casual that they have finalized it, this is really
Too
Wang Gang covered his chest and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he tilted his neck, stared at Wu Zhi, and asked, "Sure"
"Hmm."
Wang Gang was dizzy and said: "Okay, I don't understand you, I don't care about this, one Penglai Port is enough for us, I have to keep some old books, in the future, you will get rid of it, I can only ensure that you are not starved and resigned."
After speaking, Wang Gang left tremblingly.
"Big official, this port building is not child's play" Liu An frowned and looked at Wu Zhi with a bitter face, and said: "Anyway, if there is any difficulty for the big officials in the future, refuse to find my old Liu to open his mouth, and my old Liu said that he would say goodbye to his grandson." ”
After speaking, Liu An also followed Wang Gang.
"Haha, go slowly, I'll ask someone to invite you to my house for dinner and wine in the evening."
Wu Zhi smiled, they are all one of the shareholders of Da Song Bank, Wu Zhi tossed Da Song Bank so much, it is very interesting that they can say this.
"What else do you want to say?"
Wu Zhi looked back at Xiao and asked them leisurely.
"None"
They have become numb.
"In short, we believe in the big officials, as long as we follow the arrangements of the big officials in the future."
The three of them said with a lot of resentment.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll explain this to you later." Wu Zhi said with a smile.
"I still have to say that the working capital on the books of our Da Song Bank and all the industries in Deyi Building can already be bottomed out when it is spent on Penglai Port." Jiang Jing, as the chief financial treasurer, naturally knows the books.
"This, the mountain people have their own clever plan when the time comes"
Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously in Jiang Jing's faint eyes, as if he was the God of Wealth and could make money.
"By the way, there's another question," Xiao relinquished.
"Daguan, what is the name of this second new port, you can give one?"
"Hmm"
Wu Zhi groaned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"It's called Qingdao"
"Qingzhou, Qingdao"
"Good name"
