Zhu Daolin, Liang Cheng and his wife and Chu Mei had lunch together, and returned to the printing company to make a major adjustment to the order of the compilation and printing plan.

As for the 15 kinds of scientific and technological books that had long been obsolete, such as "Principles and Manufacturing of Steam Engines," "Bearings and Gears," "Soil Cement Production Technology," "Blast Furnace Steelmaking," and "Soil Method Coking," which Zhu Daolin urgently requested to be printed, Liang Cheng instructed Chu Mei to scan them with professional equipment, and directly print and bind them into a book with a little editing, which is much less troublesome than laser typesetting and then compiling and printing on the machine.

When everything was arranged, Liang Cheng's wife brought a large pile of accounting statements, and told Zhu Daolin happily: "The company's business is getting better and better, these are all the statements for the fourth quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year, big brother, take a look." ”

Zhu Daolin sent her away without looking, and quietly told Chu Mei to go home for dinner tonight, and then pulled Liang Cheng and drove to the warehouse of the refrigeration plant, where he wanted to see what the 500 tons of cotton and linen long-fiber special paper that Liang Cheng bought for him looked like.

When the car drove out of the company's gate, Liang Cheng asked, "Why do you have to buy so much banknote paper?" ”

"You're worried I'm printing counterfeit money?" Zhu Daolin said with a smile.

Liang Cheng pouted disdainfully: "You have to have this ability, the batch of special paper I bought for you has long been behind, except that the paper is better, there is not even a watermark, and it is not bad to make a high-end book cover, otherwise who would dare to sell it to you?" Unless you take the banknotes of the warlords of the Republican period, or the banknotes of some small country in Africa, it is a huge waste. ”

Zhu Daolin grinned, drove into the main road to the north and asked, "Please do me a favor, imitate the third set of RMB styles." Design a set of banknotes including 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 500 yuan, 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, a total of 11 denominations, the pattern will be discussed again, and several sets of laser engraved metal templates will be customized. ”

Liang Cheng was stunned: "You don't want to be the dark coin of the Qingming Festival, right?" With such high-grade paper for printing dark coins, aren't you afraid of losing your money? ”

Zhu Daolin was depressed: "You should treat it as a high-grade dark currency, and the issuing bank is called 'Daming Empire Bofu Bank'." Bo is a broad Bo, Fu is a captive of the captive, remove three points of water, you just say it's okay, right? ”

Liang Cheng was speechless, he couldn't figure out what Zhu Daolin wanted to do? I feel that my good brother has become chatty since he got rich, and he does some things that no one does, if it weren't for seeing Zhu Daolin's normal behavior and very logical speech, maybe Liang Cheng would have thought that Zhu Daolin was mentally ill.

can face Zhu Daolin's request. Liang Cheng was equally difficult to refuse.

For example, reprinting traditional Chinese books, provincial topographic maps, world topographic maps, world shipping route maps and messy backward science and technology books, even if Liang Cheng didn't understand, he was willing to do it for Zhu Daolin, not to mention that Zhu Daolin never gave the company a penny.

This time, Zhu Daolin wants to design the banknotes of the Ming Empire and does not break the law, it is just a gesture for Liang Cheng, who is engaged in the printing industry, there is no reason not to agree, but if he really wants to agree, he feels weird, and he doesn't look like a human job when he thinks about it.

Zhu Daolin didn't force Liang Zhu to agree immediately. This is to be done, but not in a hurry. The craftsmen of Hushan Manor were much more capable than he expected, and the hand-engraving skills were very high, coupled with the exclusive ink and color separation overprinting technology, the Bofu Qian Zhuang silver stamps printed on the hand-cranked printing machine were already exquisite.

With the printing technology and ink manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty, even the highly skilled craftsmen in the palace could not forge it, and if it were not for the backward papermaking technology of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be possible to make better banknote printing paper. The technical problem of three-color overprinting in the printing workshop has not yet been solved, and Zhu Daolin does not need to carry a full set of precision templates back at all.

The reason why I wanted a more sophisticated metal template was entirely because I thought about the future minting of silver dollars and the establishment of a monetary system, and it was a psychological necessity, even if it could be used in the end. It is only a transition, and in the end, we have to rely on the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to continue to explore and innovate.

Zhu Daolin drove the Ford off-road into the warehouse and faced the open space, and Lu Jianmin, the director with a spring breeze, came over and enthusiastically accompanied Zhu Daolin and Liang Cheng into the warehouse to check the stored special paper and various goods.

Lu Jianmin, this guy is very interesting, seeing that Liang Cheng is not called brother-in-law, but called Mr. Liang seriously, Liang Cheng seems to be accustomed to the relationship between public and private affairs, and asks Lu Jianmin about the inventory of various commodities from time to time.

After seeing the 500 tons of well-packaged banknote printing paper, Lu Jianmin immediately led Zhu Daolin and Liang Cheng to the west to access the metal materials, pointed to the 3,500 sets of carriage axles and 50 tons of H90 brass plates shipped in advance according to the contract, and reported in detail the date of entering the warehouse and the acceptance situation.

Leaving the warehouse and returning to the car, Zhu Daolin asked Liang Cheng, who was watching around: "How about you say we bought this warehouse?" ”

Liang Cheng was taken aback: "This is different from the warehouse of the food company I bought before, this place not only covers a wide area, but also has very good warehouse facilities, even if people are willing to sell, we can't come up with tens of millions of funds." ”

Zhu Daolin thought for a moment: "How much do you think this place is worth?" ”

Liang Cheng calculated for a moment, and shook his head again: "If you count it at the foot of the mountain behind, the area of the entire warehouse is not less than ten acres, and the construction area of the warehouse and the bungalow in front is more than four acres, if it is not a little out of the way, it can be sold for at least 3 million acres, and if it is estimated according to the geographical location and similar land prices, the minimum in this place is 1.5 million to 1.8 million per mu." ”

Zhu Daolin immediately made a decision: "Go back to the company, count the payment for all the books I plan to print this year and the other equipment and materials you purchased for me, including the purchase of 500 tons of banknote printing paper, I will make up for the overrun for you immediately, and transfer another 30 million to your bank card, which is counted as my private loan to the company, and is not included in the shares." ”

"If you find a way to buy this place as soon as possible, even if it costs 25 million, it's worth it, the company is developing very well, don't you want to have two more sets of high-tech equipment at dinner? Let's go up and convert the two warehouses behind the office building into workshops. If you want to do it, just make it bigger. ”

"Wait! Tell me, where did you get all this money? Liang Cheng finally couldn't help but say the question in his heart that he had hidden for a long time.

Zhu Daolin leaned over and whispered in Liang Zhu's ear: "In the past six months, I have made hundreds of millions of yuan from buying and selling antiques, and I decided to stop doing it and continue to cooperate with my old comrades-in-arms in the southwest to do some raw materials and handicrafts business." By the way, you have been traveling all over the world for two years, you can earn it, and if you can't earn it, you can come back and eat your old book, marry a wife, and have a lot of children, hehe! ”

"You have to work hard, the happy days of my family for the rest of my life depend on you."

"Damn! I said, and it did! The ancestral grave of the dog day is smoking, why doesn't Lao Tzu have such good shit luck? Liang Cheng scolded indignantly.

Zhu Daolin's answer confirmed the biggest guess in the hearts of Liang Cheng and his wife.

Before, Liang Cheng thought that Zhu Daolin's trading of antiques was just incidental. I didn't expect to earn hundreds of millions, so there is no problem in buying warehouses and increasing company investment, Zhu Daolin's huge investment is also for the sake of the future, who doesn't want to have a stable working and living environment?

In Liang Cheng's view, investing in industry is the safest, and taking 10,000 steps back, even if the printing company unfortunately closes down in the future. The remaining land warehouse is also enough to live this life in peace.

After Zhu Daolin finished fooling Liang Cheng, he immediately called Lu Jianmin, who was guarding the side, into the car: "Jianmin." You take all the contracts and warehousing lists of the trading company, and go to the company with me, I have a new batch of purchasing lists here that you need your help with, your brother-in-law and they settle the accounts, and the two of us talk about our business. ”

"Great!" Lu Jianmin immediately returned to the duty room.

Liang Cheng looked at the back of his brother-in-law who was rushing away, and quietly asked Zhu Daolin: "There are seven or eight police dogs that Jianmin bought and raised. Spent fifty or sixty thousand, you paid for it, right? ”

Zhu Daolin nodded: "That's right, since he has this hobby and time, why don't you let him raise it?" This place needs to be guarded by a few dogs as well. Much better than hiring security guards. ”

"Don't get used to him too much, it will make me and my wife embarrassed, alas!" Liang Cheng said this, but in his heart, he was deeply grateful to Zhu Daolin for his care.

Zhu Daolin said with a smile: "This is my business with Jianmin, it can be regarded as a joint stock investment, and when the puppy comes out, you see, what is the investment of fifty or sixty thousand?" I heard that Jianmin's driver's license has been tested, and I am still going to give him a car in the next two days...... Sorry, my phone rang. ”

Zhu Daolin looked at the caller ID and immediately put his mobile phone to his ear: "You won't buy a plane ticket and fly over immediately after the phone call in the morning, right?" ”

"Huh! I wanted to fly over to see you right away, but who told you to bring back so many good things? My uncle is crazy with happiness, I will personally help you apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass, I will bring it to you tomorrow morning, and then deal with the business accumulated by the film and television base, and the day after tomorrow we will fly to Hong Kong, so that you can see the new home we have purchased in the Sham Shui Po villa area. Song Shaojun's gentle voice was full of longing.

Zhu Daolin smiled: "Your uncle is quite positive, I guess I heard that I brought back a set of secret color porcelain, otherwise I would have already done the pass." ”

"You can't wronged my uncle, what's a mere pass? Before leaving home at noon, he also told me about silver, and the Hong Kong company contacted 12 tons of spot for you, made in Indonesia. If you decide to come down, I will immediately call the Hong Kong company, and it will arrive in Hong Kong within a week, and then go through a re-export procedure, and you can take it away by paying some taxes, but where and how to transport it, you have to listen to your opinion first, if there is really a difficulty, my uncle will definitely be willing to help you. Song Shaojun, who had just returned to China for less than a week, was in a very good mood.

Zhu Daolin's mood is also happy, 12 tons of silver!

With 12 tons of silver, the basis for the implementation of the plan to mint silver dollars emulated by the Spanish colonizers, and Bofu would make a considerable profit from the minting and circulation of silver dollars.

More importantly, through the minting and popularization of silver dollars, Zhu Daolin will have the foundation for establishing a scientific monetary system, and the troublesome currency settlement method of foreign trade will be standardized, and the powerful forces in the southeast will be greatly damaged in the bloody financial war, and will even be able to push the financial system of the Ming Dynasty onto a new track of development.
