Zhu Jinglun believes that the government should not run the industry the most, because once the government is involved in economic interests, the government is extremely inclined to use the power in its hands to seek benefits, thus bringing unfairness to competitors and seriously affecting market competition, because the government is an institution that formulates rules, and if he is both a referee and a contestant, he will definitely have a tendency to formulate seriously unfair policies.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jinglun still decided to sell the railway company, although most of the railways in later countries were state-owned, but that was because the era of railways had ended, and railways could no longer bring capital benefits, and private individuals could not operate them. In this era, the railway is an absolutely high-quality asset, the capital accumulation of the railway, is also one of the private accumulation, what does the government want these accumulations, the government needs money, it can be obtained through taxes and debts, if the government intervenes in profit-making business to make money, what do you want businessmen to do?

Although it is said to be sold, the railway company is too involved, how to sell it, and who to sell it to, this needs to be carefully considered, and there must be a perfect charter.

What's more, some people don't want the railway company to sell at all, Chen Zhiting doesn't want it, and Hao Kejiu doesn't want it.

The railway company is a hen that lays golden eggs, but this hen is raised by the arsenal, Hao Kejiu has long regarded the railway as an asset of the arsenal, and he never thought that anyone would dare to touch the cake of the arsenal, the railway company from construction to operation, all are operated by the personnel of the arsenal, and even the investment is a commercial loan borrowed by Hao Kejiu with the assets of the arsenal, and now the loan has not been paid off, and the government is about to sell the railway company.

This made Hao Kejiu very angry, but it was Zhu Jinglun who wanted to sell the railway company, and he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so Hao Kejiu could only feel cold.

Once a person's heart is cold, he must take action, and Hao Kejiu decided to resign.

Hao Kejiu resigned, Zhu Jinglun felt a pity, although he did not fully recognize Hao Kejiu's business philosophy, for example, after Hao Kejiu ran the arsenal, the arsenal did not play the original intention of wanting to carry out technology diffusion through this institution, and the non-governmental technology diffusion was finally guided by the Ministry of Industry, and the arsenal grew into a bully who oppressed the development of the private industry, but Zhu Jinglun had to admit that if it were not for Hao Kejiu's management, the arsenal would not become a chicken that laid golden eggs, but would become a burden that the government could not shake off.

In another view, under the management of Hao Kejiu, there was no large loss of technical personnel in the arsenal, which in itself is a sign of the stability of an enterprise's operation, a success, not a failure, the arsenal did not play a role in the diffusion of industrial technology, but the arsenal itself has developed into an industrial giant.

In other words, if the arsenal does not give too much social responsibility, and also sees the arsenal as the industrial power of the country, it will undoubtedly be successful.

So Hao Kejiu wants to resign, Zhu Jinglun is still quite regretful, a group of Swedish technicians are leaving, Zhu Jinglun has personally retained, Hao Kejiu wants to resign, he doesn't personally keep it, and he can't say it, in the final analysis, Hao Kejiu is a talent he personally recruited, if it weren't for this level of involvement, I'm afraid Hao Kejiu wouldn't dare to offend all the six departments in recent years.

"Shopkeeper Hao, you're going to be angry!"

Invite Hao Kejiu to the palace and ask someone to pour him tea, and Zhu Jinglun calmed down.

Hao Kejiu suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Weichen is unwilling!" ”

Because of his official rank, Hao Kejiu really regarded himself as a courtier.

"There's nothing to be reluctant to. The arsenal is a government property, as is the railway company. The government can't compete with the people for profit. ”

When it's time to sing a high note, Zhu Jinglun is never polite.

Hao Kejiu sighed, sure enough, they were all going to be sold, not only the railway company, but also the arsenal.

The thought that the factory, which he had been running for more than ten years, was about to be sold, made his heart ache.

"I don't know who the emperor is going to sell the arsenal to?"

Hao Kejiu learned from the pain, and still wanted to know who would take away this property like his son.

Zhu Jinglun said: "It's not clear who to sell to, whether you want to buy and sell is whether I want to." It will be divided into ten parts, and those who are interested in it will be recruited, and the shopkeeper Hao may wish to enter a share, if you are short of money, I can think of a way for you here. ”

Hao Kejiu shook his head: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, Weichen is ashamed and dare not accept it." Weichen is old, it's time to return to the roots. ”

Hao Kejiu is not old, in history, he died of illness in 1890, and he still has ten years of life.

Zhu Jinglun is not easy to say anything, the system of the arsenal has been established, and it will continue to operate, and if there is a manager, as long as it can follow the rules, this kind of enterprise with technical barriers will generally not have much fluctuation.

"Even so, I don't make it difficult for others. But before you leave, do a good job of selling it, and I don't think you can rest assured that you will sell the arsenal to an unreliable person. Also, what I say is valid at any time, you should have an idea, come to me at any time, you should have a share in the shares of the arsenal! ”

Hao Kejiu wanted to excuse himself again, but he didn't open his mouth, yes, how could he rest assured that he would hand over the arsenal to others.

After Hao Kejiu returned, the household department came to the door and wanted to discuss with him about selling the factory.

The household department was instructed by Shang Shuling, and at this time Hao Kejiu knew the reason for selling the factory, and he understood how complicated it was.

The arsenal must be sold to a stable and reliable person, this is the consensus between the household department and Hao Kejiu, and the arsenal is such a big plate, ordinary people can't eat it, even if it is divided into ten parts, each one is afraid that it will cost millions of taels, you must know that the annual surplus of the arsenal is around five million, this is still not the result of not counting the railway revenue, in terms of fixed assets, not counting the new assets that the government invested in before, just the new assets that Hao Kejiu has added in the past ten years, there are more than 30 million taels, so no matter how you sell it, it can't be less than 30 million taels of silver, But there are really not many people who want to find ten families in Daming who can take out three or four million taels of silver at a time, and they have to pick one of the reliable ones, then even less, no matter how you look at it, only those wealthy families can afford it.

The Ministry of Household gave a candidate, Ding Ding, Wu Chongyao, Pan Shicheng, Xu Rongcun with a deep government background, are all famous wealthy families, Chen Qiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, did not include his name in it out of suspicion, in fact, the Chen family is also one, the nylon hall guild is collectively counted as a share, the competitors of the arsenal, Foshan's iron and artillery shops also barely have the power to take shares, Fujian Hall is a big customer of the arsenal, and it can also be introduced, the Wen family in Shunde is a traditional wealthy family, and keep a distance from the government, it is also an alternative.

But among these people, there are really few who really make Hao Kejiu look at him.

The Wu family is a veteran businessman, with sufficient strength, and the Wu family's business philosophy is relatively conservative, mainly concentrated in land-related industries such as tea gardens, which are relatively stable, and Hao Kejiu recognizes.

With the support of the government, Pan Shicheng is mainly engaged in the salt industry, tea, shipbuilding and ocean shipping, and his investment in the arsenal can also deepen the cooperation between the arsenal and the Pan family, which Hao Kejiu also recognized.

But Xu Rongcun started as a comprador in the family, and now the real power has been in the hands of his nephew Xu Run, Xu Run, who is domineering and aggressive, hoarding real estate in Shanghai and operating in debt, Hao Ke is not optimistic for a long time, worried that this person's shareholding will make the arsenal turbulent.

Nylon Hall is a group of businessmen, mercenary, the introduction of them is at most to bring a stable group of customers to the arsenal, not to mention that it will not help, but it can also make the financial situation of the arsenal worse, because these people will definitely insist on dividends.

The government helped them set up large-scale joint-stock factories, but none of them were willing to give up their own trading, but they didn't care much about the joint-stock factory, and they couldn't afford it at all.

The Wen family is a wealthy family in the previous dynasty, with a rigorous family style, but also open-minded, adhering to Wei Yuan's idea of mastering the art of mastering and controlling the country, and is willing to devote himself to industry and commerce, but he is unwilling to deal with the government.

Hao Ke picked and chose for a long time, and found a few suitable ones.

He couldn't sleep at night, and he walked along the road in the arsenal factory for half a night, but he didn't even turn his head. The arsenal is no longer the small factory on the top of Nanshan, with Nanshan as the center, from the left to Chiwan, and to the right to Shekou, all of which are the assets of the arsenal, and half of the Nanshan Peninsula is an arsenal.

On the way, he saw a group of apprentices who had just left school and returned to rest, and everyone knew him and would salute him. I wonder who these children will greet in the future when he is gone?

Hao Kejiu was in a melancholy mood, he was confused for a moment in the middle of the night, and soon woke up from his dream, he dreamed that he was standing in a fire, shouting to fight the fire, but many people were watching, but no one came to save him, and laughed at him for not dying, and it was not your Hao Kejiu's business, in order to save the official property, did you have to fight hard.

After waking up from the dream, Hao Kejiu didn't feel sleepy for a long time, before dawn, he rushed to the train station, he was going to take the first train to Guangzhou to face the saint, he thought about it, he couldn't leave the arsenal, he wanted to buy shares.

Zhu Jinglun welcomed Hao Kejiu to join the shares, but Hao Kejiu did not need Zhu Jinglun's help, and said that he would figure out his own way to solve the problem of money.

Hao Kejiu definitely doesn't have that much money, even if the arsenal has been running well in recent years, he has received full dividends many times, but this kind of dividends is generally not much.

The arsenal has 150,000 employees, workers are divided into three levels, apprentices, helpers and masters, apprentices account for the vast majority, about 100,000 people are apprentices, these people do not take shares, helpers are apprentices of workers, can already work independently, but have not been able to take apprentices, the number of these people is more than 30,000, their number of shares is not high, ranging from half a centimeter to one and a half centimeters, an average of one centimeter, the master is the technical backbone of the arsenal, and the number of shares is much more, from the least two percent to the highest five percent, with an average of three percent.

More than five centi, are all the management personnel at all levels of the arsenal, although they get a lot, but the total amount is very small, the branch director can get up to seven or eight cents, Hao Kejiu takes nine cents, and in special years he gets a share.

Calculated as one share, one share is ten percent, and all the employees of the arsenal add up to more than 40,000 top shares, a total of 3,600 shares, with an average annual profit of 5 million taels, 60 percent of which goes to the official treasury, and 40 percent of the dividends are only 2 million for everyone, and one share can be divided into more than 500 taels, which is a very high dividend compared to the general shopkeeper, but for the head of such a large enterprise as the arsenal, it seems a little shabby.

In addition to dividends, Hao Kejiu is his salary, according to his grade, he can get 50,000 taels a year, which is the big head, and the arsenal also has a bonus for him, but this bonus cannot be obtained, and it is generally not available until the retirement of the shopkeeper.

Hao Kejiu has been in the arsenal for 12 years, and his income is only 6,700,000 taels, although in this era, he is already very rich, but if he wants to buy the shares of the arsenal, it will be a drop in the bucket.

And listening to Hao Kejiu's meaning, he doesn't plan to simply buy one or two shares, he plans to get at least three shares.

The arsenal was divided into ten shares, each of which was valued at four million taels, and three shares were twelve million taels.

Hao Kejiu quickly raised the money, and the channel he raised money was not surprising, borrowed through the ticket number of Jin Shang.

Quietly, the Jin merchants have developed so hugely, far better than the strength in history, because this era is more chaotic than the original history, and chaos is the opportunity for the rise of the Jin merchants.

With the help of Jin merchants, Hao Kejiu successfully got three shares, this is not the end, the privatization of the arsenal was completed under the co-auspices of him and the household department, after Hao Kejiu fought for many times, and got the support of Zhu Jinglun, Hao Kejiu called on the managers at all levels of the arsenal, and even a few Swedes, to raise funds to buy two shares.

There were thousands of managers in the arsenal, among which hundreds of shopkeepers, gangs and offices of the branch factories at the top level could not afford to come up with 10,000 taels of silver, so they did not have a hard time raising funds to buy two shares.

In this way, Hao Kejiu and the managers of the arsenal together occupy half of the shares, and he will still be able to firmly control the arsenal in the future. With this industry alone, the Hao family can become the top consortium family in the Ming Dynasty. But obviously this is just the beginning of the Hao family, the Hao family has a bank, and this bank is difficult to think of if it is not developed with the help of Hao Kejiu's prestige in the Jin merchant bill.

Of the remaining fifty percent of the shares in the arsenal, two shares were sold to the Wu family, two shares were sold to the Pan family, and the remaining share was sold to the Fujian Association.

Just when Hao Kejiu exhausted his skills and privatized the arsenal in public and private, the charter of the railway company was slowly formulated.

The railway company will not be in the hands of a few families, like the arsenal, but will be listed directly on the Kowloon stock exchange, and the rest of the listed funds will continue to be invested in the construction of the railway, except for a part of the loan repayment.

Like the arsenal, the railway company also had to find a manager with outstanding ability, who not only had connections in the Manchu officialdom, but also had to deal with foreigners, not only to be able to communicate with all directions, but also to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods, and most importantly, to be able to be outstanding.

If you have both, and they are all very good, you must be the best person in this era.

After the recommendation and selection of all parties, the target was finally fixed on a big comprador who was developing in the north, this person was called Tang Tingshu.
