The government does not pay a penny, and directly occupies forty percent of their shares, and then no matter how much they enter, they must also pay forty percent of the profits, which is much higher than taxes, as long as they are not fools, no one will agree to divide their money in vain.

"What do you mean by banditry? As I just said, this is voluntary, and if you are unwilling, it doesn't mean that others are unwilling, if it weren't for the fact that you are all leaders in all walks of life, I wouldn't be looking for you for this kind of good thing! Li Hongfei retorted.

"Besides, I didn't say that I want forty percent of all your family businesses, I just said that the part of the assets that you join the government-run enterprises, the government occupies forty percent, such as Boss Zhou, he is the richest man in Suzhou, and there are several industries in his hands, I can't let all the industries under him join the Ministry of Commerce, so that the money will not be earned by Boss Zhou alone!" Li Hongfei smiled and made an analogy.

If Zhou Furen is really allowed to play alone, and he is cooperating with the government's policies, other businessmen will really not be able to gain a foothold in Suzhou.

"And it doesn't matter if Boss Su doesn't want to join, I think your opponent, the boss of Daxing Rice, should be very happy, once they join the government-run enterprises, not to mention that Caoyun will give convenience, when the grain is levied in various places, the government will also give priority to help publicity, as for military food, it is a big customer, I believe that it will not be long before Daxing Rice Industry can really be prosperous!" Li Hongfei said unhurriedly.

There is no substantial benefit, how dare Li Hongfei easily ask for forty percent of the other party's industry, and he is not a real robber.

In later generations, state-owned enterprises are the big brothers, private enterprises want to do each other, without advanced patented technology, it is almost impossible, the same quality, the same price, most of the people will choose the products of state-owned enterprises.

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty, where imperial power is supreme, who the government wants to suppress and support, it is not a matter of casual words.

Playing this set of collusion between officials and businessmen, who can play the emperor?

"Lord Li's words are serious, it's not that we don't want to join the government-run enterprise, we just need to think about it." Zhou Furen came out to play a round.

After all, this kind of thing is too sudden, and Zhou Furen still needs to think about it again.

"Give you a day to think about it, if you don't agree at noon tomorrow, I will go to other bosses to talk about cooperation, if other bosses don't want to, it's a big deal for the government to do it yourself!" Li Hongfei said casually.

He put up a notice of recruitment outside, just in case, if these people did not agree, he implemented it himself, although the finances will be a little more difficult, but at least the government has full control.

If that situation really comes to an end, the government will ruthlessly suppress all walks of life in order to make a profit, and in this era of imperial supremacy, ordinary people are really nothing.

And the reason why the businessmen here were promised a day to think about it was because Li Hongfei also needed to wait.

He was waiting for Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, and the holy decree was his most important bargaining chip.

The reason why the businessmen present here are reluctant to express their stance now is largely because they cannot see the actual benefits, and only the emperor's golden words, only by putting the facts in front of them, will these people really make up their minds.

"Don't think about it, I'll promise you now." Cao Hong was the first to speak.

When Cao Hong was young, he was also a guy who didn't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages.

Now that he has the opportunity to enter the official career, of course he has to seize it, and the textile industry in Suzhou is developed, and there are more than a dozen large and small cloth villages, if Li Hongfei really finds someone else, his status as the first cloth village in Suzhou may not be guaranteed.

"Lao Cao, do you really want to do this? This is clearly trying to cheat our money! Su Dinghe wanted to dissuade him.

In fact, when he heard that Li Hongfei wanted to cooperate with Daxing Rice, he was also very panicked, but fortunately, he was in the grain industry, and there were people in the imperial court, even if he didn't do business in Suzhou City, he could transfer the industry to other cities, and the loss was not too big, so Su Dinghe dared to contradict Li Hongfei.

"Money is something outside the body, besides, this thief or Manchu Tartar will go south soon, even if I donate half of my property to support the imperial court, then I am willing, not to mention that it only needs forty percent. And if the imperial court wants to invest in our industry, it must also be to make money, if it can't make money in the future, what is the use of the imperial court occupying these forty percent of the shares? As long as Master Li can keep Suzhou safe, I believe that this money will be earned back soon. Cao Hong analyzed very rationally.

He did not say that he was righteous, but only objectively analyzed the current situation.

"Lao Yu also agreed to Lord Li's proposal, isn't it just a family business, in order to resist the thieves and the Manchu Tartars, Lao Yu is also generous." The shopkeeper of Jimin Pharmacy also echoed.

For a rich man like Zhou Furen, what he pays may only be forty percent of a small part of the industry, and those bosses who do one line of work do indeed have to pay forty percent of the entire family business.

"I promise .......... too"

As soon as Cao Hong's words came out, four bosses agreed on the spot for a while.

These people speak with great righteousness and awe, but in fact, the biggest reason is that they are worried about the problem of military disasters.

Li Hongfei said a lot before, including the meaning of fundraising, these people were just attracted by the topic of the Ministry of Commerce behind, but now they have come to their senses and secretly thought about it, and feel that it is also a good choice to take the opportunity to join the Ministry of Commerce and mix up an official position.

At least in terms of fundraising, the imperial court should no longer be ruthless against them.

The money raised is equivalent to giving it away for nothing, and now it can be exchanged for an official position, and everyone still thinks it is very cost-effective.

"Don't worry, you guys who want to join the commercial department......... No, it's all colleagues, you can go to the prefect and report to Lord Wu, and when the review is completed and reported to the imperial court, you will be issued an official seal and a letter of appointment. Someone agreed on the spot, Li Hongfei was naturally overjoyed, and in order to shoot the sycophants of these money bags, he directly changed his name to the other party's colleagues.

He knew that Li Zicheng and Dolgon's names had such a great deterrent effect, so why did he explain so much to these people.

"Master Li, I don't know how this fundraising matter .......... after we split out forty percent of the industry," someone asked.

Obviously, these people don't want to raise money for the military after reluctantly sharing such a large share of the family business.

"There must be donations to be fundraised." As soon as Li Hongfei's words came out, the bosses below almost scolded.

"But....... Although only half a year has passed this year, believe me, follow the government to do business, the income in the second half of the year will be double that of your first half of the year, and you will not lose a penny in fact. If you don't believe me, we can make a note, if the income in the second half of the year is less than twice that of the first half of the year, let's refund more and make up for less, and I will make up for you as much as I want, but if it is exceeded, then don't blame me for making your money. Li Hongfei said with a smile.

Li Hongfei also can't help it, he needs money too much now, just pit the other party's forty percent of the shares, that's dead money, get this year's profits in advance, that is the real cash, and these forty percent of the profits, the bosses here are decades old, how can this money be taken out.
