Chapter 52 Spending money to develop Dongyi Island
"Isn't it too exaggerated to immigrate 3 million in five years. Can it afford such a large population? "Master Wenquan, the former director of Chenji Academy, who was assigned to Fujian Road, has been promoted to Zhizhou in Zhengliupin, and he can't be calm after hearing about the immigration plan.
"What's wrong with that? Have you ever seen something we can't do? And since you left the academy, it has been less than 2 years now, and you have become a person who has been promoted from the eighth rank to the sixth grade, and this kind of promotion speed does not dare to say that there is no one in the future, at least it is unprecedented. First, you are not a full-fledged civil official from Jinshi, second, you are not a military attache who is promoted by military merits, third, you are not a meritorious hero of the emperor's relatives, and fourth, you are not a fortunate minister by the emperor's side, and the reason why you were promoted so quickly is completely dependent on our support. Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be done with money, to put it mildly, if I have enough money, the entire population of the Great Song Dynasty can move to overseas areas. Standing on its own and calling it lonely is nothing more than a situation where the threshold is too high and people with insufficient resources can't do it. Let's hear about some important rumors and news recently. ”
"I know, my lord, when the lower official inspected the immigration wharf and camp the other day, he found that the number of out-and-out households in this state has suddenly decreased a lot compared with before, and there are more and more bankrupt customers in other places that are not in this state, so the lower official sent officials to visit the countryside to investigate the situation. As a result, a lot of evidence shows that the customers and households who can't survive in this state have basically moved their families to Dongyi Island, and the rest are okay families or landlords with dozens of acres of paddy fields. Naturally, the proportion of displaced people from other places increased with the decrease in the number of locals, and the fastest increase was among the landless poor in the barren mountainous areas such as Jianzhou and Nanjianzhou.
The displaced people in Fuzhou are cleared, which makes the work of the lower officials much easier. Thanks to the propaganda work of the adults last year, several waves of peasant households who first went to Dongyi Island to open up wasteland began to show off their work as soon as they returned to their hometowns. The whale meat caught at sea was so delicious that even the lower officials bought dozens of high-quality smoked bacon jerky as gifts to relatives and friends. The conditions for having a house and land in the propaganda have been realized, and those poor people who go to their relatives and friends to return to their hometowns to show off and be shocked do not believe it. On the one hand, there is the settling-in allowance and loan that will be received after signing the contract, and on the other hand, there is a poor life that cannot be lived, who will say no?
As for the main project of the Fuzhou Shipyard invested and built by adults, it has been basically completed, and the three 5,000-ton dry docks have been built, and the rest is some finishing work. The groundbreaking ceremony will be held in early February, and we hope that adults will come to cut the ribbon in person! ”
Although Wenquan is the official of the court of the sixth grade, but in front of the people who have made great contributions to the opening of the Great Song Dynasty and expanded the territory of thousands of miles, he still has to strictly abide by the feudal etiquette and not transgress, how long has he been in the academy, he still understands some special habits and hobbies of the people, such as cutting ribbons and participating in various celebrations, and he himself has slowly fallen in love with this kind of activity.
"You don't need to pat yourself on the back, I don't like flatterers the most, anyway, you still can't leave Fujian Road within ten years, you don't always think about transferring or entering Beijing as a Beijing official. We need you to stay here and continue to play your role, so you should stay here and ask for your life honestly. I heard that you entrusted your distant cousin or cousin to take a stake in the immigration company and the Dongyi Island Development Company? How much money did you spend on the shares, and isn't your money enough? ”
"I know, I must stay honestly in Fujian Road and continue to work. Before Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Xiaguan and his cousin Wen Lan were chatting at home and said that they had leaked their mouths about the opening of the two companies and the public offering of shares to the public. As a result, as soon as my cousin came home, he called his friends and mobilized his relatives to gather 20,000 yuan, and bought 100,000 shares of each of the two companies, with an average of 100 yuan per share. Xia Guan didn't know about this from his cousin until a few days ago, and Xia Guan definitely didn't use his power for personal gain! Wen Quan's expression of injustice made Li Ji feel very funny.
"You can't lie, what's the use, it's just a waste. Why is your name on the shareholder list, and did the 5,000 shares fall from the sky? Stupid, won't you buy it in the name of your son's wife? Li Ji scolded with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"You have been with me for a short time, don't you know the rules of our public offering? Dongyi Island Development Company is huge, with a total of 10 million shares, using the bargaining method for pricing, and the news of the public sale on the newly opened Shanghai Stock Exchange has not yet reached Fuzhou, so your cousin went to buy 100,000 shares, although less than 1.2% of the shares cannot enter the board of directors, but it also takes a great advantage. This is very inauthentic and will leave a bad impact, although it has not yet reached the point of ruining your reputation, but it is contrary to our spirit, and it will not be an example. ”
"There must be no next time for the lower officials, the adults are aware of everything, and the lower officials must do their jobs well, but ......"
"You don't have to worry, you won't have any problems, I've taken care of the formalities, and you can get the documents after we attend the groundbreaking ceremony at the shipyard. However, the shares of the immigration company you bought can be sold, because the immigration company will be split into several companies to be responsible for the immigration business in several countries and regions, so the shares will become the shares of several companies, among which three interest-free loan companies that are responsible for special immigration loans will definitely lose money, and their sources of funds are the subsidies we provide. This kind of stock will also get rid of other related immigration company stocks to fall, you will definitely lose money, what do you want to do with stocks that can't make money? We want these shares to facilitate liquidation and split reorganization later. ”
"Xia Guan wants to ask a question, how much budget will be spent on this Dongyi Island development plan! Isn't 1 million shares enough? ”
"It's just an investment in one company, don't you know about those related companies? Dongyi Island Agricultural Reclamation Company, Dongyi Island Sugar, Dongyi Island Rice, Dongyi Island Trade, Dongyi Island Textile, Dongyi Island Shipbuilding, Dongyi Island Construction, Dongyi Island Medicine, Dongyi Island Salt Industry, Dongyi Island Mining and other dozens of companies, invested at least 50 million yuan in the first phase, and the investment will be higher after five years, but part of it will be borne by these companies themselves, rather than continuing to rely on the civil blood transfusion of the Great Song Empire. This is top-secret information, you know the confidentiality regulations, I won't say more nonsense, you can do it yourself. Li Ji signaled that Wenquan could go out, and he still had to read the report.
