At the beginning of March this year, Yang Hao convened a meeting of the shareholders of the blanket factory, the topic was to discuss the expansion of production, at that time it was the civil strife of the Tiande army, there were rumors that Yang Hao was going to send troops to intervene, because of the lack of military spending, so under the pretext of convening a shareholders' meeting to borrow money from everyone,

In accordance with the provisions of the "Shareholders' Agreement", when the major shareholder presides over the general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders who voluntarily abstain will lose their voting rights, so although Yang Hao's practice of making the investment on their behalf is inevitably a bit overbearing, it is within the law, and everyone is not easy to say.

But they took their anger out on Ma Da, who had spread this rumor, and Ma Da felt that everyone's eyes were glaring at him, and he was very uncomfortable for a while, and without waiting for others to ask, he explained with a sad face: "I also heard what others said, who would have thought that it would be such a good thing." ”

A sigh rang out all around,

Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know your thoughts: when you were willing to invest in the blanket factory, first, it was because of the desire for profit; The most important thing is that I am afraid that I will find you trouble, 'the poor do not fight with the rich, the rich do not fight with the officials', they all hold the psychology of paying money to avoid disasters, and there has been no dividend after the blanket factory is built, which also makes you gradually lose confidence, you take it for granted that the "shareholders' agreement" signed at the beginning is just a blank piece of paper, and it is all a trick played by him Yang Hao, so if you look for you again, you will not be able to excuse yourself. ”

Yang Hao's words reached everyone's hearts, and they all laughed wryly for a while.

"The blanket factory is my hard work, you don't care about me but have been very careful to take care of it, I am here to tell you: Fengzhou blanket factory has made a profit, the stocks in your hands, each share can pay dividends of three dollars of silver, now the accounting department is working day and night to calculate the accounts, you can get the dividends at the beginning of next month, when the time comes, you had better not come."

There was a burst of laughter in all directions, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Ma Li exclaimed in surprise: "I originally bought two hundred and thirty shares, and a rough calculation of this half a year will have seventy taels of silver to earn, which is a lot more than my opening a restaurant, and I don't need to bother a little effort, this business is good, fortunately I was not dizzy by the pillow wind, otherwise such a good thing would have been missed." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Da patted his chest and said: "In the future, I will follow Lord Yang when I have a lot of horsepower, and I will do whatever the adult asks me to do." ”

The atmosphere is warm,

Yang Hao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down:

"Although I was born in the army, I haven't read many books, and I haven't done business, but since I founded the blanket factory, I have understood a truth, if you want to make a fortune, you rely on three things: the eye to see the money, the hand that grasps the money, the box that manages the money, the world is full of gold, if you want to make money, you must first see where the money is, this is the eye to see the money, see where the money is, but also have a hand to grasp, someone catches fast, someone catches slowly, someone grabs a lot, someone has a small hand but grasps fast, no matter what, the hand is absolutely indispensable, catch the money home, Some people spend extravagantly, some people sit and eat empty, some people take money to make money, small money becomes big money, it can be seen that if you can catch money, you will definitely become rich, and if you have money, you must be able to manage money, so you can be considered rich, otherwise you are just busy for others. ”

Wu Delu, the owner of the largest cloth village in Fengzhou, an old man muttered: "What the adults said is not true, everyone wants to do it if they take money to make money, but it is not easy to find a good way; Second, the capital is small, and the risk of opening a new business is too great; In addition to the ancestors, when we started from scratch like us, and when we had a few spare money in our hands, we were all very old and exhausted, so we still had the energy and courage to toss, and it was also helpless to sit and eat empty. ”

This statement caused a sigh,

"What the old shopkeeper Wu said makes sense, I heard that your family was poor when you were old and young, and you worked as an apprentice in the cloth village to help the business, and you have achieved today's achievements without stopping for forty years." Wu Delu saw that Yang Hao knew his name and could tell his own experience, and he was flattered, so he said: "The adult founded the blanket factory, and the old man also entered a hundred shares, and in the future, he will set up a new factory, and the old man will definitely re-invest in the shares." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "Then let's make a decision, I still want to set up a new factory." Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, and Wu Delu hurriedly asked: "What is the name of the new factory and what kind of business is it?" ”

Yang Hao did not answer him positively, but asked: "Just now the shopkeeper said that he put money into the blanket factory, and he didn't bother to pay dividends with stocks for half a year, he has never seen such a good thing, how good it is, I ask everyone, if we raise a sum of money to set up a new factory, hire a group of capable people to find business opportunities, for example, we can make money in the porcelain business, let's create a porcelain factory, hire the shopkeeper to take care of the business, and the profits earned will be handed over to the new factory We will pay dividends according to shares. In this way, there are capable people to help us find business opportunities, and it is not easy to capsize the ship when small money is remitted into big money, which can not only concentrate small money to make big money, but also turn dead money into living money. Speaking of this, Yang Hao suddenly took a look at everyone's expressions, and then asked Wu Delu: "I run such a factory, will you become a shareholder, Wu shopkeeper." ”

Wu Delu's expression was stunned, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The old man must be a shareholder." When he spoke, his eyes wandered, but he quietly looked at others with the corner of his eye, and everyone was full of praise, but Yang Hao knew in his heart that what he said was good, and he might not be able to do it simply, everyone was shrewd, and everyone had a clear account in their hearts, and it would take a little more effort to let them pay for it.

So he gave Wang Rentong a look, Wang Rentong understood, and deliberately asked loudly: "When will my lord set up such a factory, I am willing to invest 30,000 taels of silver." This sentence caused an uproar, Wang Rentong is known as the richest man in Fengzhou, how vicious his vision is, his statement, the situation quietly reversed, Wu Delu hurriedly said: "The old man can't compare to Boss Wang, I am willing to invest in five thousand taels." Another big move, everyone's attention was focused on Yang Hao, and they wanted to see some clues from his reaction.

Yang Hao responded positively: "I will definitely run this factory, and in the past two months, Fengzhou Prefecture Ya and Xining Army each contributed 50,000 taels of silver, Tiande Army Wang Envoy Marshal invested 60,000 taels, Linzhou Stone Thorn Shi invested 20,000 taels, plus Boss Wang's 30,000 taels, Wu shopkeeper's 5,000 taels, the new factory has raised 215,000 taels of share capital, if compared with Chang'an, Luoyang's family, there may be some shortcomings, but in Fengzhou, Tiande, Xia Sui, Linzhou, Zhenwu Army, and even Shuofang, it is definitely second to none. Today I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all of you, lest I invite you and you will not come. ”

Ma Li touched his head and asked, "Have you taken the name of the new factory?" ”

Yang Hao said: "The name is Yongchang, and the full name is Yongchang Holding Company. ”

Ma Ma was puzzled: "What is the company?" ”

Yang Hao thought for a while and replied: "The company is not a family or any person, for all shareholders to share, the new company will be like a blanket factory to set up a general meeting of shareholders, the election of the board of directors, the board of supervisors to represent the interests of shareholders, shareholders with capital to obtain shares, there are shares have the right to vote, the future of the company's major events are decided by shareholders voting, such as the election of the board of directors, the board of supervisors, the hiring or dismissal of the chief treasurer, the decision to increase capital, dividends, expand production, and so on." ”

Although the word "company" is still a little unfamiliar to everyone, but the word "shareholders' meeting", "board of directors", "stocks", "voting" is not unfamiliar, Fengzhou blanket factory is created in accordance with the modern company system, from the initial people to its surprise, misunderstanding, doubt, panic and even hostility, to gradually be accepted, research and imitation, it has always been the focus of attention of Fengzhou people, its influence has far beyond the economic field, it is reshaping people's way of thinking with its own unique charm, Secretly leading a change in thought and culture,

There are 215,000 taels of silver as the base, and everyone feels that this matter is still on the score, and many people have begun to be moved, but more people are still hesitating,

Yang Hao didn't press anymore, he felt that he had already said what he should have said, so he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Today is the day of Boss Wang's opening, let's not talk about business, let's go, go down and toast." ”

At this time, several attendants brought out dozens of gold porcelain cups, and everyone took one and walked down the high platform, Yang Hao proposed that everyone line up in a row, and salute every twenty tables, so that a circle down, each person just drank ** two wines, slightly drunk,

The banquet was dispersed, Wang Moshan led Yang Hao to his duty room to rest, Wang Rentong and Ma Da also followed, the faces of the four were red and fluttering, the three of them sang a double reed with Yang Hao just now, and still felt a little excited in their hearts at this time, Yang Hao said: "For the future of Yongchang Company, it is difficult for you." Wang Rentong said with a smile: "My lord's hard work, they will understand in the future." Yang Hao said: "I only want to do things worthy of the sky, worthy of conscience, and do not treat friends badly in the middle, as for what the world thinks, I don't care, it's just, you say, we do this, can they go on the road." Ma Li said flatteringly: "If they don't go on the road again, they deserve it, and the money is stuffed into his purse, and he won't let it, then who can do it." ”

Yang Hao laughed and cast an approving gaze, although Ma Da's performance today is a bit excessive, so that the discerning person knows that it is a trust at a glance, but on the whole, it is still very hard-working, and the effect is also good.

Yang Hao is not very short of money now, even if he does not absorb private funds, Yongchang Company can do it, the reason why he spends this time to tell the truth to everyone, one is the mind and prudence of "the river and the sea do not refuse trickle" in his heart, and more importantly, he does to neutralize the inherent inertia and predatory nature of bureaucratic capital, as well as the ensuing **, inefficiency, monopoly and other chronic diseases.

At the beginning of the year, all the people who participated in the celebration were evacuated, Yang Hao took a nap for half an hour, his spirit was completely recovered, and on the way back to Feng'an, Yang Hao and Wang Rentong took the same car, in order to discuss Wang Yuner's marriage, since a year ago in Meishan Mine after seeing Meng Bochang, Wang Yuner was moved, swore that Meng Bochang would not marry, Wang Rentong was naturally happy to see it happen, but Meng Bochang has been lukewarm, at the beginning of the month Meng Bochang wished his twenty-fifth birthday, Yang Hao sent Ling Tong and Park Enjun to Xia Sui as a birthday envoy, Ling Tong finally said that this family affair was scheduled to marry Wang Yuner in mid-August of this year.

Meng Bochang has an arrogant temperament, Wang Rentong feels that he can't talk to him, so he asks Yang Hao to transfer on his behalf, and Yang Hao is confused and becomes a matchmaker for the two families.
