176. The whole truth was not told
Zhou Quan listened to these people shouting with a smile, and two of them were arranged by him.
After everyone was quieter, Zhou Quan began to talk about his detailed plan.
"Cotton trading company!"
This is the name of the scum, which is built by the joint investment of each family, and at the beginning, each family can contribute at least 10,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit for more. Gather all the shares and build this cotton trading company.
Then, according to the population and affluence of each road in the country, the amount of capital contributed by each family is determined to determine which road of underwriting rights each can obtain.
If the capital is insufficient or unwilling to invest too much in this project, it doesn't matter, Zhou Quan said, allowing each family to buy a share and share the way, he even encouraged this situation to happen, and said very explicitly: "Along the way, many state capitals, everyone will divide the share of the state capital according to the amount they have paid." ”
When it came to paying the money, everyone fell silent and didn't rush to say anything.
Zhou Quan began to throw out his plan in Haizhou again: only a part of this money, about one-fifteenth of which was directly given to Zhou Quan, as the cost of the use of his loom and spinning machine, and the rest was sent by the Chamber of Commerce to jointly supervise its use.
A complete set of supervision measures was taken out by Zhou Quan, and after everyone read it, they couldn't believe it.
Under this system, Zhou Quan himself has almost no benefits, if there is, it is that he has obtained the monopoly right to sell cotton cloth in overseas countries.
At this time, the powerful merchants of the Great Song Dynasty did not care about the trade of overseas countries, and in their opinion, the sea with high winds and waves was by no means a good place to go.
"Is the monopoly of Rongcheng cotton cloth counted in Hebei East Road, or in overseas countries?" That's it, there are still questions raised.
Since the establishment of Rongcheng, everyone knows that Liaoguo is also a huge market.
"Ahem, I think that the matter of Rongcheng is very important, and the official family must personally inquire about it." Zhou Quan is very subtle and authentic.
Everyone suddenly realized and laughed knowingly.
The piece of flour in Yucheng is reserved for Zhao Ji, think about it, although the forces behind everyone here have gathered, it is enough to decide the internal and external affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, but if the emperor is also brought in, wouldn't it be better.
They gossiped, and many of them left their positions to confer in whispers with people they had always befriended. Originally, the gentleman did not say anything, but most of the people who came were businessmen, and it was rare for a doorman like Qin Zi to communicate with each other, and the communication between them was much more direct.
"We discussed it, we are willing to do this cotton trading company!" After a while, someone spoke loudly, and everyone heard him speak, and they all quieted down: "It's just that there is one thing that I don't understand, Zhou Dalang, don't blame me for listening." ”
"Please."
"The reason why Zhou Dalang pulled everyone to get rich together, everyone knows it, but after all the calculations, Dalang doesn't seem to make much money in this matter." The man laughed.
"Hahahaha...... Is Zhou a person who is willing to suffer? Zhou Quan also smiled.
After laughing for a while, Zhou Quan clapped his hands, only to see several teenagers come up and lift the cloth covering the case.
"It's ......"
The sun shone right on the desk, so everyone saw a crystal clear.
The secret glass kiln hidden in the kiln was finally able to stably fire the molten glass during the time that Zhou Quan was away. The most dexterous craftsmen were invited to blow the tools that are now made.
Six glass bowls, twelve glass cups, plus nine glass ornaments, fifteen glass pendants.
Although there are still some impurities in these glasses, which are not absolutely pure, but under the sun, this impurities shine with a strange brilliance, which makes these utensils even more gorgeous.
"It's ......"
"This is a glass from the arrogant food, and everyone should be familiar with it." Zhou Quan said slowly.
Western glassware was introduced to China through the Silk Road, and although the number was scarce, the people present had heard of it, even if they had not seen it with their own eyes.
"I asked for a shipyard in Haizhou, recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and built a big boat that could travel far away to the ends of the world, which was to prepare for overseas trade. I sold cotton, silk, and porcelain to the countries of Dashi, and even to the western parts of Taixi, and then shipped glass, spices, ivory, rhino horn and many other overseas treasures back to China. ”
Everyone was stunned.
Although the glassware makes everyone excited, everyone knows that the smoke and waves at sea are vast, the wind and waves are high, and going to sea is a gamble on life and death.
In fact, one of the important reasons why the Great Song Dynasty's navigation skills were the best in the world at this time, but it failed to reach the Age of Discovery, was that the Great Song Dynasty was too rich and China was too rich. Those who are enterprising, as long as they are in their own country, can earn personal wealth through hard work, and naturally do not set their sights on the more dangerous overseas.
Unless there is a greater good that can induce them to make a move.
Qin Zi was also laughing, he didn't think that Zhou Quan would go overseas for the benefits of glass and spices, there must be something he didn't know behind this.
At that moment, he heard a whisper.
"Ya Nei is lying!"
"Shhhh
The voices of the two were very low, because everyone was laughing, so no one noticed except for a few people nearby who vaguely heard it.
Qin Zi looked at it from the corner of his eye, and the person who spoke was known to him, who were the two smelters of the 36th Metallurgical Sect of Li Guojian, and it was said that he ran a cement kiln with Zhou Quan, and he made a lot of money in the past six months.
He didn't look back, but pricked up his ears and listened.
"Do you think what Yanai said last time is true or false?"
"Snow sugar, cement, glass...... All of this is true, so of course what Yanai said is also true! ”
Qin Zi was shocked.
Maybe Zhou Quan has launched a lot of money-making things, and everyone has some habits, so they didn't think about it, but now, when he thinks about it carefully, including popsicles and bicycles, these famous halls that Zhou Quan has made are really a little wrong.
He is a child in the Beijing market, he has not read many books, and he has not traveled much, where did he get these insights and intelligence?
That rumor floated in Qin Zi's heart again.
Zhou Quan once rescued a person who came to Beijing from Mingzhou, and this person was instructed by overseas businessmen, and felt Zhou Quan's life-saving grace, so he transferred the snow sugar and cement techniques to Zhou Quan.
When he first heard this rumor, Qin Zi didn't believe it at all, if there was really such a businessman, how could he teach others if he didn't use it to make himself rich.
But now, Qin Zi has other ideas.
The two people behind him were whispering, their voices lowered, but Qin Zi still heard a word that was unintentionally revealed.
"Immortals"!
If Zhou Quan met not a Mingzhou person, but an immortal, he would be awarded by that immortal......
Qin Zi felt that his idea was a little boring, how could he Zhou Quan, how could he be taught by the immortals?
But as soon as this idea was generated, it gave rise to a strong curiosity about why Zhou Quan was obsessed with going to sea, and even did not hesitate to release so many benefits in order to go to sea.
Could it be that he went to sea to seek immortals?
He was thinking about it, and there were many others who thought about it as much as he usually did, and for a moment, the crowd fell silent. The two people in the back didn't say anything at this time, Zhou Quan saw that everyone didn't ask anymore, so he smiled and said: "This matter of the cotton cloth trading company, if you want to do it, you can sign up this afternoon, for the specific articles of association, if there are any amendments, after signing up, let's gather to discuss and strive to make this matter happen!" ”
He motioned for everyone to leave their seats to discuss, so everyone came out of the cafeteria one after another, gathered in the courtyard to discuss.
Qin Zi stared at Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi, he always felt that these two should know more things.
Then he realized that there were other people who were staring at the two of them like him.
Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi seemed to want to continue muttering in a corner, but they were always followed by three people, they were very embarrassed, and they didn't speak for a long time, and when they were about to leave, Qin Zi suddenly said: "Meng Yuanwai, Shen Yuanwai, I came from Jingshi, and I came here to help Zhou Langjun on the order of the hidden minister." ”
"Hidden phase?" Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi both had shocked faces.
"I heard the two of you just now seem to say that Zhou Langjun once met an immortal? This is an interesting thing, you might as well talk to us about it, after I go back, maybe the hidden minister will tell the official family about it, and you two can also get a share of the credit. ”
It seemed that Liang Shicheng was tempting the two, but in fact, Qin Zi was warning them.
Meng and Shen are both smart people, they glanced at each other, Liang Shicheng may not be looking for trouble with Zhou Quan, but if he really wants to trouble the two of them, the little backer behind them really can't protect them.
Anyway, it's not something that can't be said, so Meng Guang pushed Shen Fatzi, and Shen Fatzi was full of helplessness: "This is just a private guess by the two of us, Zhou Yanei's ability to make money doesn't seem to have been learned, if it weren't for the guidance of immortals, where did he learn the methods of making snow sugar, cement and bicycles?" The two of us also asked Zhou Yanei, but he didn't admit it...... However, once, the two of us asked him why he went overseas, and he once said that although it is difficult to find overseas immortal mountains, it is not difficult to find gold, silver and copper mountains......"
"Mountains of gold, silver, and copper!" A person next to him whispered.
Qin Zi looked at it dissatisfied, but it was Shi Xuan, which made Qin Zi's expression slightly awe-inspiring.
This Shi Xuan seems to have come on the orders of Cai Xing, in fact, everyone knows that behind him is Cai Jing.
Now that the Great Song Dynasty has insufficient copper coins, and the gold and silver are far from reaching the abundance of the circulation city, Cai Jing is so troubled by this that he even has to come up with means such as ten coins.
Cai Jing didn't know where he was, this kind of method would definitely be scolded, but there was no way, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there were not enough precious metals, he would not be able to make money.
As for the meeting, handing over banknotes, etc., he also thought about it, but he was even scolded for being a copper coin of ten coins, let alone a piece of paper.
Shi Xuan, as Cai You's confidant, naturally knew about this, so as soon as Zhou Quan said that there were gold mountains, silver mountains and copper mountains overseas, he immediately linked the two things together.
If there is enough gold, silver, and brass...... What a credit to that!
