Chapter 144 Control of the Qing Dynasty Industry and Commerce 3 more!

Yang Hao couldn't help but exclaim: "The heads of these Jin merchants are so easy to use that I can't describe them." Such a good advertising method actually gave them an opportunity, which is amazing! ”

This treatment is even more perfect than he had imagined.

Emperor Guangxu wanted to make great efforts to build a career that would directly follow his ancestors, and began to learn English and learn about Western studies in 1891. This kind of initiative to seek change and innovation, from a fair standpoint, Yang Hao feels quite admirable.

In particular, this is still under the strong dissuasion of a large group of Qingliu such as Weng Tongyong. He was able to persevere and worked very hard, starting at 4 o'clock every morning...... That's a lot more diligent than the vast majority of people.

It can be said that Guangxu's practice has a great shock to young people all over the world. Its exemplary role cannot be overestimated.

It was based on this that Yang Hao took the trouble to get a set of encyclopedias, and did what he liked, and by the way, he ruthlessly blackened the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a sum of money.

Of all the books in auction today, the most strenuous is the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Others, there are ready-made publications or layouts, and it is good to let the printing plant acquired by Yang directly open them. But the Great Encyclopedia is different. The world's circulation is a modern update. And he could only get the ninth edition at the end of the nineteenth century.

For this reason, Yang Hao had to buy a set of original versions first, and then let the cultural group gather dozens of college students to form a special working group. They worked together to extract the content in both Chinese and English from the modern electronic version according to the original English version, and then re-edited and typeset the two items.

And so it goes. It can be said that the Chinese-English version that appears today is a real one-of-a-kind. Not only is it unique in this world, but it is unique in the 19th century.

After spending so much effort, of course, I have to take it back with interest.

It is foreseeable that once this book is put on Guangxu's desk, the young generation of readers in the world will definitely look at the scenery. Even if they can't afford the deluxe version, they can afford to buy a miniature version that sells for 100 taels. When the time comes, it will not be too easy to sell him tens of thousands of sets.

Yang Hao originally thought that he would send the post to an imperial prince or minister. I've done it. Unexpectedly. Jin Shang saw it more clearly. Not only did they pay for it, but they also sold it directly to Yang Hao. On the other hand, if you dedicate it to the emperor again, you will have another opportunity to meet in person. When the time came, the emperor was happy. Whatever you want. That's a big benefit!

Other than that. After some hype, under the guise of using the emperor's royal service, he wanted to sell as much as this set of books. Inside and out. How many portions of the benefits!

Yang Hao knows how good the advertising effect of a product is after it is used by authoritative people. Especially the Chinese, for the emperor or the great elder and others almost blind worship and trust, as long as the other party nods, you wait to collect the money!

As soon as Manager Rishengchang spoke, the people who couldn't figure it out suddenly fell and regretted it!

It's useless to regret it, the deal has been reached, everyone's spit is a nail, and no one can pick on it.

The businessmen all understood the principle of making money with harmony, and they all hugged their fists to congratulate. The nobles in the box threw up their sleeves and walked away in a bored manner, and did not even participate in the banquet prepared for them at the British Concession Hotel.

Pu Wei, who didn't seem to have achieved his goal, was indifferent to the ridicule and schadenfreude of the rest of the people. After a polite farewell, he left freely.

At noon, the guests went to eat, and Yang Hao met with the staff of the working group to settle and count.

After returning the deposit, the total auction income of more than 20 kinds of books reached a huge figure of 250,000 taels of gold and 4.8 million taels of silver!

That's almost 10 million taels of silver!

What is Making Money? That's it, it's almost like grabbing money!

Yang Haoxin said that no matter which end it is, there is no need to worry about the capital chain being broken.

The second plane is good to say, as long as there are goods to be enriched here, there is basically as much as there is to sell, and many times the windfall profits are guaranteed to be consumed.

But in this world, the investment in film and television cities and related projects still seems to be a bottomless pit at the moment. It is conservatively estimated that there must be at least 5 billion soft sister coins to ensure the stability of the foundation and not be afraid of calculations.

The gold and silver antiques that I got in the early stage are far from worth enough. Although the amount of raw silk, tea, and fur that has been shipped back from Beijing and Tianjin and Shanghai in the past two months is huge, it will take a long time to realize it. Antique furniture can't be taken out too much, and the market is overwhelmed.

Not to mention the silver dollar business. Yang Hao had a headache when he thought of the millions of oceans, and in the end, in addition to picking out the slightly higher price and better quality, most of the rest still stayed here as the principal.

And if all of these auctioned today can be exchanged for gold, the total value will be nearly 500,000 taels. If you get back to this world, you can pledge at least five or six billion dollars. In this way, it is basically possible to ensure that all projects that are being carried out at the same time can be carried out without worry.

However, to the person in front of him, Yang Hao couldn't reveal the inside story, but just said with great ambition: "With this fund, we can easily leverage the industrial and commercial construction of the entire country, and then control the financial lifeline!" Our business will also officially enter the fast lane. Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is going to be a heavy task for everyone. Whether we can build a bright future depends on whether we can work together and unite as one! ”

Zheng Ruilin was excited, clenched his fists and kept shaking: "Please rest assured, sir!" We can definitely accomplish all of them. In less than a year, we will be able to gather enough power to influence the world. At that time, a hundred calls will be answered, and the world will be from the world! ”

Yang Hao smiled and nodded, actually sighing secretly in his heart, the ranking still imagined the difficulties a little easier!

However, the morale can not be discouraged, and the dispatch is to follow the various matters of collecting money and delivery, and in the afternoon, Yang Hao personally held a real cooperation meeting with many merchants participating in the auction.

The morning auction is just a process of selecting partners, and those who are stuck in the middle of a meal should go after eating and drinking.

Those who have left behind are all outstanding. The money they put into the auction is not just to buy a set of books, or an agency distribution right. What they really got was the shares of a commercial investment bank that Yang Hao had prepared with the Jin Merchants led by Song Yunsheng and the Dart Merchants led by the Tongxing Gong Dart Bureau, plus some other connections!

At present, in the Qing Dynasty, except for a few foreign-funded banks, the local ones are only primitive ticket banks, and they don't understand how banks operate at all. Their main business was also to collect deposits, lend money, and act as agents for various taxation and transshipment work to the Qing court. Shock resistance, profitability, are very weak.

If Yang Hao had not appeared, in the end, only the Ningbo merchant gang would have survived among the thousands of ticket numbers and money houses opened by the top ten merchant gangs in the world. Today's most prosperous "Huitong World" Jin merchant ticket number, responsible for the capital operation of the four constants, will be scattered.

Yang Hao's purpose in preparing the bank is naturally not to be a savior, he just doesn't want the wealth accumulated by hundreds of millions of people to be easily looted by foreign devils. Instead of letting them devour, it's better to use it yourself to do something meaningful.

This entity, named "Yanhua Commercial Investment Bank", is headquartered in the American Concession, and the foundation of the building has been laid, waiting for the world to be completed and projected.

Its main business basically does not involve the collection of savings and loans, but mainly the investment and support of industrial and commercial projects. The most different thing is that it can provide a package solution that is unique in the world.

Let's say a company wants to set up a match factory and wants to borrow money from the commercial bank. He will first be given a very detailed business plan, which will be filled out under the guidance of the bank receptionist, and will be subject to an asset appraisal and personal credit check.

After confirming that he is qualified, the bank will not give the money directly. Instead, according to its plan, it helps it determine the factory address, plant construction, equipment purchase, employee training, management system, production and sales, and even after-sales service. It can be said that being a boss only needs to look at it with both hands.

Of course, these factories inevitably have to have a stake in an investment bank and a director. It is also important to have a union in place, which is supervised by an expatriate union representative to ensure that the business is managed and operated as required.

Such an approach may seem harsh, and it limits the autonomy of the boss. For example, recruiting or firing workers at will; casual beating, scolding and abuse; arbitrary deduction of wages; Arbitrary extension of working hours without overtime pay; Not strictly following work procedures, ignoring safety in order to save money, etc.

But the benefits are obvious, as long as you have the basic conditions, there is hope to be small and big. Basically, when the factory is opened, there is no need to worry about production and management problems, and there is no need to worry about the supply of raw materials and sales; You don't have to worry about the deterioration of the market and the problem of unsalable, and you can basically make a profit without losing money.

With such good conditions, all the shareholders involved today can see that there is no need to worry about no business at all.

And the most important part of this is all provided by Yang Hao. They only need to provide a small amount of initial funds, and after half a year, they are waiting for the profits to continue to grow into a huge industrial and commercial trust!

Such a huge investment institution is discounted by 10 million taels from today's auction total. Yang Hao invested a huge amount of equipment and personnel, discounted by 10 million, holding 51%. The proportion of shares is divided according to the money invested in each auction.

In the Far East, this is the number one largest capital. Not only can they invest in industry, but they can also issue their own silver bills, or rather, paper money!

The people involved include the four major forces of Jin Merchants, Lu Merchants, Zhejiang Merchants, and Beijing-Tianjin Merchants. At present, it covers many fields such as foreign banks, ticket numbers, extra-mouth transportation, river and sea transportation, industrial manufacturing, etc., which can be said to be strong and influential!

And, after their establishment, the first project was ready-made.

Based on tens of thousands of rubber-tyred trucks and thousands of steam vehicles subsequently put into operation, plus the continuous investment of large cargo ships and small river and sea steamships, we will create a super logistics group that runs through the north and south and the east and west, and is widely distributed inside and outside!

In Yang Hao's words, "We not only want to connect the world, but also to connect the goods to the world, the potential to the world, the factories all over the world, and finally the road to the world!" (To be continued......)
