Chapter 414: Imperative (Second Update)

At the beginning of the establishment of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, Li Yuntian had already implemented a shareholding system in the newly established firm of the Chamber of Commerce, and put forward the concept of the board of directors.

Therefore, after four or five years of development, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has a complete set of management system, financial system and operation system in the field of joint-stock enterprises, and has a number of joint-stock business names.

Under the impetus of Li Yuntian, not only the deacons of the deacons of the highest power core of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce have shares in several firms under their names, but also the members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce have enthusiastically invested in the firms under the chamber of commerce and become shareholders of those firms.

It is worth mentioning that the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has established an institution similar to the stock market, the stock market, to manage the buying and selling of shares of those firms.

The stock price of each firm is displayed on the stock price board on the wall of the stock market, which is clear at a glance, making it convenient for members to buy or sell shares.

Since the purchase of shares is accompanied by a note issued by the stock hall as proof of ownership of the shares, people refer to that note as a "stock".

As soon as the stock market was launched, it was immediately popular with members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and became an important place for members to trade stocks.

Because the stock price is changing, and with the development of the Ming economy and the continuous expansion of the commercial market of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, the stock price will rise, which makes the wealth of those who hold stocks also rise, which is a very exciting thing for the members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

In view of the fact that the stock market of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is still in the stage of improvement, and the business of those firms of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is not suitable for outsiders to intervene now, the stock market of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is only open to internal members, which has a layer of mystery in the eyes of the outside world.

It is precisely because the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has implemented a joint-stock business name that the two members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce who bid for the monopoly of Jiaozhi grain do not have to worry about their interests being harmed at all.

To be honest, even if these two members win the Jiaozhi grain franchise, then they will set up a joint-stock business to raise funds from the internal members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, since Li Yuntian proposed that both sides take a step back, then the two are happy to unite with Wang Yu to form a joint firm, Chen Ningning has a shrewd business acumen, so naturally he will not let the firm lose money.

Facing the scene in front of them, the three people of the Grain Merchants Association were a little at a loss for a while, no one expected that the two members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce would unite with Wang Yu, and they were not afraid that the newly established business would be swallowed by Wang Yu at all.

The eyes of everyone at the scene immediately focused on the three people, which made the three people feel a little embarrassed, and quickly got together and muttered for a while, and finally made a decision, one of them withdrew from the bidding, and the other two people obtained the remaining two places of the Jiaozhi grain franchise, so that the matter was satisfactorily resolved.

For the Jiaozhi grain franchise alone, Li Yuntian had an extra 180,000 taels of silver in his hand, which was undoubtedly a great thing to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi.

After dealing with the matter of the Jiaozhi grain franchise, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm, and people looked at the master of ceremonies on the stage with great interest, waiting for him to announce the reserve price of the Jiaozhi cloth franchise.

The reason why the Cochin cloth franchise is the finale is naturally because it is the most profitable business in Cochin, and in the ranking of clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing is ranked first, which shows its importance.

It is worth mentioning that there are a wide range of types of cloth, including both high-end silk and cheap linen, and once the monopoly of the cloth of Jiaozhi is won, it is equivalent to controlling all the channels for cloth to enter and exit Jiaozhi.

Under the expectation of everyone, the master of ceremonies orderly announced the reserve price of the Jiaozhi cloth franchise - 80,000 taels, which is twice the reserve price of the grain franchise, and there are as many as four places.

In the face of such a high reserve price, the people who are interested in the franchise of Cochin cloth are naturally members of the Yangzhou Cloth Merchants Association, and the rest of the merchants will not be involved even if they have the strength.

Moreover, the price of 80,000 taels also discouraged many people, and coupled with the later investment, not all businessmen can have fun.

There are three traditional chambers of commerce in Yangzhou, which are ranked from high to low in order of strength, which are the General Association of Salt Merchants, the General Association of Grain Merchants and the General Association of Cloth Merchants.

After the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce entered Yangzhou, it has always avoided direct conflicts of interest with the three major chambers of commerce, and the three major chambers of commerce can stand tall in the Yangzhou business community, obviously with a complex background, and the relationship with the capital is inextricably linked, and Li Yuntian does not want to conflict with them unless it is absolutely necessary.

As soon as the master of ceremonies announced that he could hold up a card to get the franchise of Cochin cloth, several number plates had already been raised in the audience, including No. 1 number plate and No. 2 number plate, and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce came forward to fight for the franchise of cloth only Zheng Boxin and Wang Yu.

The Zheng family behind Zheng Boxin and the Chen family behind Wang Yu represent the two major forces within the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and they will not operate alone after winning the franchise of Jiaozhi cloth, but will raise funds from the members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce of their respective factions, so that those members who are interested in the Jiaozhi cloth business will become shareholders.

In this way, it not only shares the financial pressure of purchasing the right to operate Cochin fabrics, but also raises enough funds to expand the market of Cochin, which can be said to be a high flame for everyone to collect firewood.

Li Yuntian glanced at the other few people holding signs, it is estimated that most of them are people from the Cloth Merchants Association, and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce will occupy two places, and the Cloth Merchants Association will occupy two places, and the two sides will be evenly divided, and they will all be happy.

In overseas trade, silk is the most popular commodity among overseas countries, so it has the highest profits and the best sales, so the Zheng family and the Chen family have issued a death order to Zheng Boxin and Wang Yu to win the franchise of Jiaozhi cloth at any price.

Because there were more than four people who wanted to win the franchise of Cochin cloth, the master of ceremonies immediately opened the bidding with high interest.

With the number plates frequently raised in the audience, the price of the bidding soon exceeded 100,000 taels, and now people's expectations have risen to 150,000 taels.

Li Yuntian silently looked at the scene in front of him, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, his psychological price was 180,000 taels, as long as it reached 180,000 taels, he would stop bidding and adjust it like a grain monopoly, hoping that both parties would be happy.

After passing the 150,000 taels mark, several people gave up the bidding one after another, and in addition to Zheng Boxin and Wang Yu, there were still three big cloth merchants of the Cloth Merchants Association.

Before this, no one thought that the price of the Cochin cloth franchise would be so high, and it had far exceeded everyone's psychological expectations.

I have to say that the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is the biggest factor in guiding such a high bidding price, if there is no Kyushu Chamber of Commerce members to join, then there will be no such bidding, in the final analysis, the bidding is now to get the option of the cochin cloth business, there is a very big risk.

In addition, these businessmen who appeared in Fushun Teahouse today have been working in the mall for many years, with experience, sophistication and rich experience.

Therefore, from the fact that the people of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce are actively vying for the Cochin business franchise, they have a keen sense that the Cochin business franchise may bring rich returns.

With the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in the grain franchise and cloth franchise to show the momentum of the inevitable, finally prompted some powerful businessmen to take risks, put down the wait-and-see attitude and strive to grab the Jiaozhi cloth franchise, after all, the business is about opportunities, after this village can not have this store, once lost will be regretted.

Zhang Ben looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, he was still worried about whether Li Yuntian could sell the franchise of Jiaozhi Commerce, he never expected that the scene would become so hot, the franchise of Jiaozhi cloth as high as 80,000 taels actually jumped to 150,000 taels, and there was no sign of stopping, he was a little skeptical that those bidders were a little unconscious.

To tell the truth, in Zhang Ben's view, Li Yuntian's move to sell the Jiaozhi commercial franchise and mining rights to the businessmen is undoubtedly an empty glove white wolf, and it is completely unrealistic and whimsical to want to take money out of the pockets of those shrewd businessmen with just some promises.

Until this time, Zhang Ben's still couldn't believe that the situation in front of him was true, could it be that those bidders fell into evil? Have you forgotten that the Jiaozhi rebels are now in full swing!

Not only Zhang Ben, but even local officials in Yangzhou such as Zhou Hao and Han Hu were also surprised, no one expected such a fierce bidding to occur.

"Two hundred thousand taels." Just when the bidding price reached 170,000 taels, a voice suddenly came from the audience, and a number plate numbered "66" was suddenly raised in the crowd.

"Two hundred thousand taels!" Hearing this, the scene suddenly became commotion, and they all looked at the people holding the signs, and their faces all showed a look of astonishment, this is a sky-high price, and they all want to know who the bidder is, and there is such a big deal.

Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, the No. 66 number plate had never been lifted before, so he looked up, wanting to see where the other party was.

Holding the number 66 number plate is a bearded man, sitting at a round table in the middle of the lobby, next to him is a handsome boy in white clothes, with a graceful demeanor, looking at Li Yuntian with a smile, his eyes are as tender as water.

"It's her!" When he saw the white-clothed boy, Li Yuntian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his face was full of astonishment, he never expected the other party to appear here.

"200,000 taels!" Just when Li Yuntian was stunned, the No. 1 number plate was raised, and since Zheng Boxin had received the order to win the franchise of Jiaozhi cloth, he would definitely follow up on this price.

"200,000 taels!" Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, the No. 2 number plate was raised, Wang Yu has now regarded the Cochin cloth franchise as a thing in his bag, how can he give up?

There was a bang, and there was an uproar in the lobby of Fushun Teahouse, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them at this time, and they were talking about it below, who would have thought that so many people would bid 200,000 taels to compete for an option like a mirror!

The three big cloth merchants of the General Association of Cloth Merchants couldn't help but look at each other, and the three of them could never have imagined that they would encounter such fierce competition for the monopoly of Cochin cloth.

Judging from the current shape, Zheng Boxin, Wang Yu and the owner of the No. 66 license plate that suddenly came out were aggressive in momentum, and they had an inevitable posture against the Cochin cloth franchise table, which made the three of them a little dazed and overwhelmed for a while, and they didn't know how to deal with this strange situation in front of them.
