Now Guo Ye no longer worries about having no one in his hands, Guo Songtao and Zhang Chunping are all talents who have been used in the world, Chen Hai, Ding Ruchang and others can all be in charge of military affairs, Guo Ye finally got out of the complicated official duties and began to sketch out the future plan.

Especially with the addition of Zhang Chunping, this guy is not to blame for his arrogance and talent, he is definitely the first-class talent of this generation, not far from Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang in the south!

Li Junfeng finally made a detailed statement about the preparation for the construction of Qingdao Seaport and handed it over.

Guo Ye looked at this Qingdao Port plan carefully, it was detailed and complete, Li Junfeng even calculated the approximate cost of it, and as for the aid of funds, he even proposed for the first time to borrow money from private wealthy businessmen or buy shares to solve the financial difficulties.

Guo Ye put Tiao Chen aside with satisfaction, although there are still many imperfections in this plan, but it is not easy for Li Junfeng, after all, he cannot get rid of the influence of this era on him.

Guo Ye smiled: "Boshan, this plan is good, you came up with it alone?" ”

Li Junfeng's face turned red, and he replied: "My lord, I can't hide it, I still consulted Chunping and wrote this plan, especially this problem of solving the fund, and I got his guidance, otherwise, it would be difficult for me to think of such a solution just by myself." ”

Guo Ye sighed and said: "Boshan, you can't blame you for this matter, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is indeed difficult for me to solve such a thing." Seemingly. It's still Chunping's guy who has an idea. Private lending. Or private shares, this guy really dares to think! Chunping! Come in! ”

Zhang Chunping, who was in the next room, heard Futai calling himself, and hurriedly walked over and said, "My lord! ”

Guo Ye asked, "Chunping, I heard that this case was calculated by the two of you?" ”

Zhang Chunping replied: "My cousin did it, I just reminded him a few words on the side." ”

Guo Ye asked: "Since you want the private sector to become a shareholder, then tell me, how to become a shareholder?" How do you guarantee a lot of real money invested by wealthy businessmen. Can you earn it back? Since people have invested money, how can they get involved? Also, now Shandong is not rich, there is no need for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where did so many rich businessmen come from to invest so much money in this huge project? You know, this project will take three years at the earliest, and it will take you to see results! ”

Zhang Chunping said in a deep voice: "My lord, there is a form mentioned in the Wealth of Nations. It is called a company, and it is funded by a number of people by subscribing to share capital. Set up an industry, and then assign relevant personnel to manage, everyone participates in the decision-making of the industry, the company's profits and then leave the follow-up funds to be invested, according to the proportion of dividends, lowly believe that we can also set up such an industry, in the form of a company to operate, and then in the name of the yamen, to the rich businessmen to raise shares, more investment and more money, less investment and less income; As for the problem of the lack of wealthy businessmen in Shandong, I think we can let some wealthy businessmen subscribe to various material valuations, so that their goods can be sold quickly, and they can also reduce the investment of funds, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Talented! This guy must be a genius!

Guo Ye couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he is worthy of being a person who has read the Wealth of Nations, what is his military talent, I dare not confirm it now, but this talent for governing is absolutely amazing! This is a ready-made manager, and his own coal mines and iron mines can be handed over to him in the future!

Unexpectedly, Guo Ye sounded two business wizards in the late Qing Dynasty - Qiao Zhiyong and Sheng Xuanhuai, I don't know if this Zhang Chunping will be able to do business with these two people for a long time in a few years!

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Okay, since the two of you have almost planned, then you can do it, well, set up a company, this is a good idea, Boshan, go back to Brother Bochen, and ask him to invest 100,000 taels of silver in the name of the political envoy Yamen, as a start-up capital, and then raise funds from the industrial and commercial circles, I will personally take out 100,000 taels of silver to invest in it, and tell Brother Bochen, since this seaport is our public-private partnership, then everything should be in accordance with the rules of business, and it is not allowed to oppress the people with officials, That set of rules for government-run factories and mines is absolutely not allowed to stay in this company, and all the articles of association are drawn up by the three of you personally! Only when those rich businessmen see the huge benefits, they will put real money into it! ”

Li Junfeng was overjoyed, this plan, it seems that Lord Futai agreed, as long as he nodded, it would be easy to say it to the political envoy!

Li Junfeng is extremely excited, once the seaport is completed, and it will not have any impact on his future, just talking about the economic benefits to the local area, it will last for hundreds of years, even thousands of years!

Li Junfeng continued: "My lord, since you said that you would take the lead in establishing special zones in Dengzhou and Laizhou that would give tax exemption to all businessmen who came to invest and build factories, do you think we should start it and report it to the governments in various places?" In this way, we can get started as soon as possible. ”

Guo Ye nodded and said, "This matter is a matter in your Dengzhou Mansion, you can make your own decisions, you don't have to think about me for instructions." Chunping, I have an idea that I want you to think about, I don't know what you think? ”

Zhang Chunping was stunned for a moment and asked, "My lord, what do you think?" ”

Guo Ye stood up and said: "Chunping, I want to set up a large coal mine in Yanzhou, prepare to build a large steel plant in Laiyang, and even the equipment has been selected in advance by the American Minister Hua Ruohan, but the person in charge has not yet been elected, and there is no talent at hand. ”

Zhang Chunping is overjoyed, a coal mine, a steel plant, these two projects, with Guo Ye's attention to them, I am afraid that without an investment of more than three million taels of silver, it will definitely not be so solemn, such a big stall is thrown to himself, so how much does Lord Futai rely on himself?

Guo Ye continued: "Do you want to be happy too early, these two factories and mines are purely my personal career, that is to say, they are all funds invested by me personally, he has no official title, and you are just equivalent to one of my big housekeepers, how about it?" Still interested? ”
