Chapter 385: A Way to Make Money
Zhu Dadian didn't come all the way to listen to Zhang Chu's crooked reasoning, he directly asked Zhang Chu how he wanted to cooperate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There are several ways to cooperate, it depends on how Lord Zhu chooses, the simplest is the least risky for Lord Zhu, and Lord Zhu doesn't care about anything. That is, we open a company in Shandong, Lord Zhu does not interfere, and when the time comes, we will pay a certain amount of silver to the Lord in the name of the tax, so that no matter whether the company loses money, Lord Zhu has the silver to take, and there is a security company, Lord Zhu does not have to worry about the taxes paid to the imperial court every year, and through the trading of the security company, the people of Shandong will become rich, and there will be more places to honor the Lord, of course, this method Lord Zhu will not get too much silver. If Lord Zhu is willing to take a risk, invest some silver to buy the company's stocks, and then give Lord Zhu dividends, so that Lord Zhu can also get a considerable income. Zhang Chu pointed out several ways for Zhu Dadian to make money.
"That's all? If that's all we have, we wouldn't have to travel so far to meet here. Unexpectedly, Zhu Dadian was very dissatisfied with Zhang Chu's words. The method Zhang Chu said could get money, but the speed was too slow.
"If Lord Zhu is not satisfied with this, he will have to pay more gold and silver and take a greater risk. I have this way to make money, but now I need to invest money, I am a little short of money, and I urgently need someone with courage and money to work together. Does Lord Zhu have silver? Zhang Chu turned to Zhu Dadian and asked.
"Of course I have the silver." After Zhu Dadian said this, he felt a little wrong, he had silver, if he didn't cooperate with Zhang Chu, he just didn't have the courage to say anything, and he bypassed himself first.
"It's easy to do with silver, we can cooperate with each other, I will provide mechanical technology, and you will pay to recruit workers to establish a few factories and mines in Shandong, which will not only improve the lives of the people in Shandong, but also make Zhu's silver make silver." In addition, I also have a profitable business, but the risk is too great, and Lord Zhu does not dare to participate. Zhang Chu said that he deliberately sold a pass here, and stopped talking.
Zhu Dadian knew that Zhang Chu was deliberately seducing him, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of Zhang Chu's book of great profits, and there was no end to making money. Finally, he said: "I have the money, and I am not lacking in the spirit of adventure, tell me your method, so that I think you are not a liar." “
"Lord Zhu should have heard about maritime trade, I am going to build a ship in Yantai and sell goods to the Japanese State, the route has been opened, and a fleet has run two round trips between Dengzhou and the Japanese State, proving that the waterway is safe and reliable. The profit obtained is definitely an exaggeration, but there are also several times the profit. “
"How many times is the benefit?" Zhu Dadian has long heard of the sea trade, although the imperial court has not lifted the sea ban, the smuggling activities at sea have never been stopped, I heard that the income is very considerable, Zhang Chu personally confirmed that there are several times the income, which made Zhu Dadian very surprised.
"It's true, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit." Zhang Chu hoped that Zhu Dadian's thirst for silver would overcome his fear of defeat.
"The imperial court has ordered the implementation of the sea ban, and the sea is rampant with pirates, and the money on the sea is not so easy to make." Although no one abides by the Ming Dynasty's sea ban, it has not been clearly canceled, and as an official, Zhu Dadian still has to pay attention to the impact.
"The imperial court has long turned a blind eye to such a thing as a sea ban. Zheng Zhilong monopolized the overseas trade in the south, and the imperial court not only could not interfere, but also made a strong official and made a wish. What we want to build is a fleet that can compete with Zheng Zhilong, as for piracy, it is not a big problem, the merchant ships we build are equipped with small artillery, and there is no problem in protecting ourselves when encountering small groups of pirates. At the same time, you can also send a special fleet to escort, and now a large number of warships are being built in Dengzhou to prepare for a counterattack on Liaodong, and after the battle is won, these ships can join the fleet of maritime trade, and the benefits are enough to make people red. Zhang Chu's words moved Zhu Dadian, especially when Zhang Chu mentioned Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong can now be said to be rich and rival the country, and being rich to that point is the real success. Zhu Dadian analyzed the benefits and disadvantages, and still asked a little uneasy: "Haimao is indeed very profitable, can we do it as an official of the imperial court, or is it not good?" “
"It's up to me to take care of all this, and after a while, I will lead my troops to counterattack Liaodong, and even if the emperor knows, there is nothing I can do. He didn't do anything to Zheng Zhilong, and he couldn't deal with me. Lord Zhu, you don't need to say too much, you just need to use Shandong's manpower and material resources to support Dengzhou shipbuilding, and say to the outside world that you will do your best to help Lord Xie counterattack Liaodong, and maybe you will be rewarded by the emperor. We will record every property you invest, and then distribute the dividends of your sea trade in proportion, which is much easier than finding money in Shandong. Zhang Chu originally wanted to say that it was much better than scraping the ground, but he was afraid that Zhu Dadian would be angry, so he changed his euphemism.
Zhu Dadian was completely moved, to be exact, he was moved by the huge profits of sea trade, there is Zheng Zhilong's example there, and Zhang Chu is willing to come forward, he only needs to put Shandong's materials into the Dengzhou shipyard in the name of assisting in the counterattack on Liaodong, and then the money he gets back can go into his own pocket, which is much more safe than being greedy in Shandong.
The only thing I'm worried about now is that Zhang Chu has made money and won't take out dividends. So he said: "I've made money, what if you take it and run away?" “
"You don't have to worry about this, there are security companies and other factories I run in your jurisdiction, and if you don't give you money, you can't run away if you want to." Zhang Chu's words made Zhu Dadian completely relieved. The security company is an industry of millions, but Zhang Chu can't run away from the company.
Zhu Dadian is a careful person, and he found the master and Zhang Chu to carefully agree on every detail. Only then did he leave satisfied.
Soon, Emperor Chongzhen received a letter from Zhu Dadian, indicating that Shandong and Denglai were linked to their fate, and Shandong should fully support Xie Lian of Denglai to counterattack Liaodong and recover Lushun, and would do his best to support Dengzhou's shipyard to build warships. The emperor saw the joy of the dragon's heart, and finally had the minister take the initiative to contribute money and efforts to the court, which was very rare, and the emperor inevitably praised Zhu Dadian to show encouragement. The ministers secretly scolded Zhu Dadian for smoking evil winds, they knew that Zhu Dadian had no relationship with Xie Lian, but he threw money into the pit of counterattacking Liaodong for no reason, and his brain must have been broken.
Zhu Dadian didn't care about other people's reactions at all, all he cared about was getting the dividends of the sea trade early, all kinds of materials in Shandong were collected and continuously transported to Dengzhou, and Zhang Chu secretly transported most of them to the secret ship yard in Weihai. Each shipyard has sufficient materials, the speed of shipbuilding continues to accelerate, new ships continue to be launched, and the strength of the Dengzhou Navy Division has gradually become stronger.
