On the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fifth year of Yuanyou, a group of representatives of partners invited by the Chenji Chamber of Commerce from the west went down the river to participate in the first anniversary of the founding of the new Shanghai business, the future world economic center, and the establishment ceremony of the first special economic zone of the Great Song Empire.

"Come on, come on, please look at the mouth of the Huangpu River on the right, here is the river-sea intermodal transport that we are building for the future, the world's largest port Baoshan Port, after three years, the annual cargo throughput can reach 20 million stones, that is, 1,000 large ships with thousands of materials in and out of 20 times of freight volume, five years later can reach 50 million stone throughput.

Whether it is grain or ore, Nanyang spices or Western curiosities, Beiyang Japanese goods, and Korean ginseng, you can buy them in any commercial town in the special zone of Xiuju. Last month, the court approved Xiuzhou as the first special economic zone, my Chenji Chamber of Commerce has handed over 5 million tax deposits, including ten years of tax in Xiuzhou, you come to Xiuzhou to do business, the tax is the lowest, Chenji Chamber of Commerce guarantees that this is the lowest tax rate in the Song Dynasty, the highest tax on sales is only 5%, and import and export goods can also enjoy the benefits of tax rebates.

The entire Shanghai business area has been bought by the Chenji Group, if you want to buy property here, it will be difficult, but you can sign a lease agreement, all the land and buildings can be auctioned through the five-year auction, whichever is higher. The land and houses on both sides of the Huangpu River belong to the Chenji Group, if you want to lease real estate to open shops and factories, the Chenji Group warmly welcomes, if you are like the members of the Chenji Group subordinate companies or downstream wholesalers to sell goods, then it is necessary to pass the recommendation and rating of the qualification assessment agency recognized by the Chenji Group. ”

A fat wealthy businessman with a Sichuan accent asked, "How can I become a member of the Commodity Futures Exchange like my own family, and I came here by boat for this identity." ”

The tour guide replied enthusiastically, "The capital verification procedures can be handed over to Chenji Bank, the rating procedures can be handed over to Pudao Rating Company, and all the application materials and all things to join the exchange can be handed over to the accounting firm." Of course, in order to ensure efficiency and safety, we first recommend our own related companies, if you want to save money and are not in a hurry, you can also choose other banks, rating companies and firms. ”

A senior partner of Chenji Group thought to himself, 'Everyone knows that all these companies you recommend are the most expensive, but they are also the most efficient and reputational, but how many people know that the controlling shareholder of other companies is also Chenji Group?' If it weren't for my sister marrying the head of the investment department of the East China Guarantee Company of the Chenji Group, I would not have known that all the financial companies on the ground in Xiuzhou were directly or indirectly controlled by the Chenji Group.

Obviously, the meaning of the tour guide's words can be understood by everyone present, and there is not a single fool who doubts and makes a fool of himself. The tour guide smiled with satisfaction, thinking, this group of guests is much higher, unlike the previous batch, there are a lot of fools, there are really people who go to other companies to take advantage of a small advantage, but they were slaughtered, and how many are still waiting for the notice of the exchange? How could those companies with weak connections cut the queue, and the comptoirs who asked to join were all queuing up for three years. If it is not qualified, it is impossible to cut the queue no matter how much money you have. The commodities traded on the commodity exchange led by our Chenji Group account for one-third of the whole Song, the lowest price, the most stable quality, the cheapest freight rate, the most punctual delivery, the members never default on payment, in case of default, the funds and goods in the reserve pool are enough to complete the delivery. Since its establishment, the reputation that has not appeared in a breach of contract has made the entire businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty break their heads for a membership seat.

Smiling tour guide is naturally also one of the vested interest groups to enjoy the treatment of Chenji Group employees, their own buy their own work of the Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company's stock three months a dividend, next month's dividends in hand, the capital can come back, plus wages, spread to the monthly income of at least 300 yuan, a year's income is 3600, if you can complete the company's indicators, get the year-end bonus and full attendance award, you can get 5000 yuan. The income of 500 koku of rice! The income of one person in one year can exceed the income of a family of ten people in the past ten years. If you can make more money, save enough to go to the academy, study for three years like a distant cousin, and then open a company when you return to your hometown, apply for a loan to trade overseas, and go back and forth for three months, you can earn 10 times the super profit. Then he was richer than the largest landlord in the township---- Wang Yuanwai.

Wang Yuanwai on the rich side is the representative of the local tyrant who harassed Li Ji hundreds of times--- Wang Qihai. The Wang brothers had an irreparable rift, and Wang Qishan, as a big landlord, insisted on annexing land, controlling tenant farmers, and collecting heavy rents. Wang Qihai firmly believes that Chenji Group is his only thigh, and everything is consistent with the crossing.

As a result, in the course of rounds of repairs and actions of the big landlords, Wang Qishan's traditional merger method of hoarding grain, selling it high and buying it low was completely defeated. When dealing with those disobedient traditional landlords, Chenji's killer weapon is to control the price of grain and land, sell land when the price of grain is high, and sell grain when the price of land is high. They sucked up almost all the cash of these landlords, and then suppressed the grain and land they bought in debt to a low price of vomiting blood, and forced the borrowing landlords to repay the money, or else confiscate the mortgaged land and the hoarded grain. In this way, all the profiteers and local tyrants who dared to fight against Chenji were wiped out, and the surviving wealthy families were also greatly damaged, and they were powerless to stop Chenji's strategic advancement. When he finally held on to the point that he didn't have much energy to annex the land, the land prices in Xiuzhou and Suzhou plummeted.

Almost all landlords panicked, and the reason for the drop in land prices was the process of attracting capital to higher-yield manufacturing and industry by Chenji Group.

Those obedient landlords, such as Wang Qihai and others, basically sold their land in advance, like many displaced people, to buy the land on Dongyi Island and the cheap land in Mayi, and after the immigrants who were half-pushed or forced to go to Dongyi Island for development returned to their hometowns, it triggered unimaginable capital flows and booms. Countless people are in a hurry to sell their own few acres of land that is difficult to support their families, and then move their families to Dongyi Island, which is vast and sparsely populated, and it is very easy to make a living.

Wang Qihai listened to Li Ji's words, planted a large number of cotton and textile hemp crops, and opened a textile factory that became a hen that laid golden eggs. The money earned by selling sacks and cheesecloth to the Chenji Chamber of Commerce every month is ten times the income from the same investment in buying land to grow food. There are very few people who buy land, basically Chen Ji and his agents, and there are as many people who sell land as retail investors during the crash, which is difficult to count. Xiuzhou Yamen's land sale and purchase deed tax received the total amount of the previous five years in a month, and the stamped scribe and the county magistrate in charge were tired and sore in their arms, and at the same time smiled and received the money.

Especially in Xiuzhou and Suzhou, which Chenji regards as the future base camp, all discordant voices have been eliminated. After successfully obtaining the qualification of Xiuzhou Special Economic Zone, the construction of large-scale civil engineering is naturally in full swing. All the land in the lower reaches of the Wusong River was bought, and the average price of these lands ranged from a few to dozens of dollars per mu according to the price of farmland and the grade of fertility. If all commercial and residential land are built, there is no problem at least 10 times more; Even if it is used for industrial land, it will increase by three or four times.
