If you have to find a representative of an organization similar to Renjutang in history, I am afraid it will have to be the East India Company or the Ministry of Industry. It's just that the latter is a foreign colonial merchant organization, while Renshoutang is a local wealthy giant merchant organization. Both are aimed at usurping the public power of the state, exercising the administrative power of the municipality and grabbing benefits.

Under the cloak of the city government, Renjudo is essentially a partnership, not even a company. In this loose partnership, whoever has more property and occupies a higher tax will have a higher status. Multiply it by an invisible influence coefficient, and the seating arrangement is very scientific.

Just as Xu Yuanzuo doesn't look down on it, although Renshoutang controls Tanghang Town and radiates to the land outside Tanghang Town, its own positioning is too low, and it does not realize that it has public power, and it still spares no effort to kill poor ghosts for the purpose of grabbing benefits, but there is no concept of developing the local economy.

As foreigners, the East India Company and the Ministry of Industry were still aware of the need to provide some public services to maintain local law and order, but Renjutang had not yet awakened this awareness.

Cheng Zai washed his face, changed his clothes, and asked someone to arrange for his shoulder to go to the headquarters of Renshoutang.

Because the headquarters house is shared, everyone is not happy to spend too much money on it, so that it has been a small family for decades. This is also very low-key, and many ordinary people at the bottom of Tang Xing don't even know that Renshoutang exists, but only know which masters in the town have the final say.

Cheng Zai entered the door and saw that the servants of the Yuan family were already cleaning, so he grabbed a familiar one and asked, "Who is from your family today?" ”

The servant said, "My lord himself has come." ”

That is Yuan Zhengchun came in person.

Cheng Zai nodded, lifted his spirits, stepped in, and sure enough, he saw Yuan Zhengchun already sitting on the first seat, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Yuan Gong." Cheng Zai stepped forward and saluted.

"Mr. Cheng." Yuan Zhengchun opened his eyes. He got up and gave a half-salute back.

"Why did Yuan Gong come here in person today?" Cheng Zai sat down in his seat and asked with a smile.

Yuan Zhengchun sighed and said, "Yesterday, I heard that Xu Jinglian came to Tang Xing. ”

Cheng Zai's face did not change: "Exactly, I slept at my house last night." How? Could it be that something is wrong? ”

Yuan Zhengchun looked at Cheng Zai and said, "I just heard that he is very close to Da Xing." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Zai was really taken aback: with Xu Yuanzuo's ability, it was because of the power in his family. But I didn't expect him to eat it all in black and white.

Yuan Zhengchun saw that Cheng Zai didn't know, and said, "You know the black lifter of the business couch, right?" ”

"I've heard a little." Cheng Zai said.

"This black lifter originally left home in mid-May, saying that he was going to the county town for a banquet......" Yuan Zhengchun as a lifter. As the richest man in Tang Xing, as the top boss of Renshoutang, of course, he should also appear on the banquet list of the prefect.

"The result is ......" Cheng Jae became nervous.

"The result...... No result. No one has ever seen him again, and the black family has caused trouble and chaos. Yuan Zhengchun said: "The Hei family has fallen, the prefect is furious, and it is said that it is the water on Dianshan Lake...... I made a vote for passing by, and now there is not even a shadow. ”

"Yuan Gong is suspicious ......"

"Who dares to doubt him?!" Yuan Zhengchun hurriedly brushed it off, paused and said, "We have been friends for many years." Don't spread the word. ”

"How dare you."

"After the Hei family fell, the original territory was occupied by the county town An Lao Liu. How did you say he was so coincidental? Yuan Zhengchun paused: "An Lao Liu has a younger sister, who is married to Zhuli. is the same as Xu Jinglian. ”

- This old fox can connect them all.

Cheng Zai was thoughtful.

Yuan Zhengchun thought that Cheng Zai was thinking about the relationship between Xu Jinglian and An Lao Liu, and nodded: "Just in April and May, the Xu family suddenly had a lot of nursing homes. I've heard people say that they are all old Zhejiang soldiers who have fought the Japanese invaders. ”

"Then ......" Cheng Zai shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with us." ”

Yuan Zhengchun sighed and said: "I am already over the age of six, and most of my body is buried in the soil, just now look at Xu Yuanzuo in Tang Xing more and more tossed." I'm always worried about you and your children and grandchildren. ”

"But it's a bit far-fetched to say that he colluded with An Lao Liu." Cheng Zai said cautiously.

Yuan Zhengchun glanced at Cheng Zai. said: "Am I afraid that he will collude with An Laoliu? I'm afraid that An Lao Liu will collude with him! ”

"Ah......h

"We all know who An Lao Liu is, and we also know very well what the means are, how dare we attack the black family?" Yuan Zhengchun said: "Mr. Cheng, I know that you and Xu Yuanzuo have built an academy together, I'm afraid you still think he is gentle and elegant." However, the person who is the black hand of the black family is clearly a bachelor. It's not something that our generation can do. ”

Cheng Zai smiled bitterly: "Now that I've got on the boat, it's hard to get off." ”

"So you don't have to worry about anything." Yuan Zhengchun said: "People have a big appetite, so they won't bite their own people." ”

Cheng Zai looked at Yuan Zhengchun and remembered Xu Yuanzuo's temptation yesterday. He said: "Yuan Gong, then let Xu Yuanzuo be our own?" ”

"Your own people?" Yuan Zhengchun gently played with his fingers: "I'm afraid of luring wolves into the room." ”

On that day, Xu Yuanzuo exchanged information with the students about the School of Economics. I once said that it is a way of cooperation, and it seems to be quite large-scale. Cheng Zai said.

"Tell me about it." Yuan Zhengchun changed his posture.

"It's called a company, which means that it's a judgment in the company. First, a total share capital is set, and then each company contributes capital to determine their respective equity, and profits and losses are distributed according to the proportion of equity. There is also a charter that determines the functions and powers of the chief treasurer and elects directors from among the shareholders. The board of directors has a meeting to supervise the chief treasurer on weekdays, and only the chief treasurer can interfere when he violates the articles of association and exceeds his authority. Cheng Zai said.

He naturally rejected this plan at the beginning, where can he compare capital with Xu Yuanzuo? So he simply asked for 20% of his shares, which is considered an executive in the School of Economics, and he must return his shares regardless of whether he quits or dies.

Yuan Zhengchun hesitated for a long time when he heard this, and finally said: "What do you mean, is Renshoutang such a company?" ”

Cheng Zai said: "Anyway, the share capital that will be taken out more or less will not implicate the family property if it is lost." And with this company, it is natural to have both prosperity and loss, and he wants to attack the people in the company, so we naturally can't agree. What's more, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest. ”

Yuan Zhengchun didn't know that Cheng Zai had completely become Xu Yuanzuo's person, so he secretly thought about it for a while, and said, "I think it would be better for us to open a company with Xu Jinglian alone?" ”

Cheng Zai heard Yuan Zhengchun start to call Xu Yuanzuo again, and laughed secretly in his heart: You want to get on the boat!

"I'm going to find out what he's talking about." Cheng Zai nodded with a heavy face. (To be continued......)
