Chapter 382: The Whaling Culture of the Han and Tang Groups {10}
Qian Shouguo's second visit to Bengang was because the Zheng family group proposed to build a wharf with the Pan family.
Hantang Group vigorously supports this kind of investment in Taiwan and the construction of Taiwan with practical actions, and combined with the contribution of the two companies in the repair of public roads in the Bengang area, they have made a promise that after the completion of the Bengang Wharf, Hantang Group will give them a five-year tax holiday at the wharf.
A technician who is not very knowledgeable ridiculed the financial company of the Hantang Group, saying: "You guys are too black-hearted, people have leveled all the dirt roads around Bengang, damn, they can use thousands of laborers all at once, and they don't need to pay for work, pure voluntary dedication, just take care of the food, the Zheng family is really awesome."
However, we only give a five-year tax holiday is too little, right? When the time comes, don't let the ancients laugh at us, we are stingy......"
At that time, the answer of the financial company was very simple, to look at economic development, to have a dynamic vision......
Manager Qian Shouguo didn't speak at the time...... Judging from the geographical location and development trend of Bengang, the five-year tax holiday is a bit much.
The port, as long as there is a suitable wharf, is to become a hen that lays golden eggs - there is no concept of cost in sail transportation in this period.
During this period, the wealthy and squires liked to build roads and bridges in their own places, and the Hantang Group vigorously encouraged this behavior, not only giving material rewards, but also spiritual rewards.
On both sides of Benxi, the Zheng family and the Pan family each built a three-kilometer Sanhetu main road, so it is just right, the north is called Zhengjia Road, and the south is called Panjia Road.
Hantang Group also proposed that in the entire Taiwan region, all roads and bridges built with personal funds will be named with a word in the name of the funder in the future.
Wealthy families and squires want to reflect their sense of saving, so the Hantang Group will make their sense of saving bigger...... Positive promotion is beneficial to both people and people.
The Hantang Group once again sent Manager Qian Shouguo to guide them in repairing the wharf.
At that time, the third master Zheng Bin faced the sea, raised his hands high, and said enthusiastically: "Build a century-old port...... Don't be afraid of the silver two......"
At that time, Manager Qian Shouguo's eyes rolled and said, "Impossible...... For that kind of face project, you ask others to help you, no matter what kind of project you do, our Hantang Group is accountable...... I'll be responsible for that then...... Don't you don't understand, it's a hundred years at every turn, a hundred years, and it's good to adapt to reality......"
"Okay...... But listen to the money manager's ......"
"Lao Zheng, I'm a straightforward person...... Don't blame me, I know that you Mingren ask for a big face, so that you can make a show......"
"Old Qian, I now have a Taiwan ID card, and I am a person with an industry in Taiwan, don't always say that you are Mingren, Mingren ......"
"Oh, oh, I forgot that...... I'll give you a good talk about the design of the first phase of this Bengang terminal......"
The Hantang Group abandoned the riverside wharf here, which was too susceptible to the flow of river water.
However, their original riverside docks also have the advantage of being more tortuous and less vulnerable to direct attack...... But now, it cannot be said that the surrounding waters are free of pirates, but it is guaranteed that there are no large-scale ones...... Pirates are the best labor force, so the Hantang Group can also be like Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai, who only eats and does not pay wages.
The plan given by Manager Qian Shouguo is a seawall-type wharf, which is filled with earth and weirs in a small bay in Bengang, and then extends a long causeway into the sea, which of course needs to be blocked from the sea first and the construction scope is circled...... This requires labor, but does not cost other costs, which is especially suitable for the characteristics of Zhengjia Group......
Zheng Bin, the third master, took the plan and looked at it for a long time, and was very happy, and said: "Thousands of laborers have been put into it...... It can be achieved in three months, not to mention saving cement, but also leveling a hill in the port area and expanding the port area...... It's just that the time taken to open the mountain and dig the soil is too tightly calculated, right? ”
Manager Qian Shouguo said: "No, we will provide engineering blasting services when the time comes...... There is no charge. ”
"Then when will the Hantang Group be able to teach us blasting techniques?"
"Didn't you apply?"
"I applied, and Director Jin Mingchi of the northern region of Taiwan asked me for 100 boys and girls, and all of them were north of the Yellow River. But now I'm anxious...... If you teach me in private, I will thank you for a hundred taels of gold, and no one will know about it!" ”
Manager Qian Shouguo thought for a while and said: "Lao Zheng, this technology is originally professional, I really don't understand; Second, I can't figure out how to make this engineering explosive myself, and third, do you think I still care about this precious metal? ”
"Hey...... Plus two beautiful women......"
"Lao Zheng, you just need to follow the arrangement of the Hantang Group, don't think about going crooked...... I've seen it a lot, and now even if I encounter it myself, I'll say no and say it from the bottom of my heart...... Look at my character! ”
In fact, the total assets of the Hantang Group and the figures of dividends per person have been hanging on the Internet, and in the past, that forum was the place with the highest number of clicks, but now it is not - because the Hantang Group has always determined the value of horse tickets based on grain, the number of catties of rice that each person may have is astronomical.
The third master, Zheng Bin, said with a solemn face: "Manager Qian, if you do this, you will be respected wherever you are!" ”
Manager Qian Shouguo said: "Lao Zheng, don't be so naughty next time." ”
“――”
With the joint efforts of the Zhengjia Group and the Panjia Group, the first phase of the Bengang wharf was completed within three months.
Since the Hantang Group let these Ming people develop this place, then the first phase of the design according to the weight of the thousand-ton wooden ship is enough for them.
If Guangzhou is not surrounded, then the Pan family's business will continue to flourish.
The Pan family did not want to hide from anyone that they had opened a branch in Bengang, Taiwan, and Taiwanese goods were easy to sell in Guangzhou, so business would naturally be smooth sailing -- but war came.
The Pan family fell into a crisis all of a sudden, and eighty percent of their purchase sources were strangled to death. Without the traditional and strong silk, porcelain, and tea, what would they trade with others?
Of course, the head of the Pan family has to run, in fact, no matter what period of the businessman, like a rat on a broken ship, he is always the first to sense the danger and is often the first to run away.
When the Tatars went south and broke Nanxiong, there were already businessmen who began to run, and such businessmen were often big businessmen, most of them had their own sea ships, and they really didn't take the Guangfa Logistics Company as the manager of He Bin seriously.
If it were not for the existence of the Han and Tang groups, a considerable number of merchants in this time and space moved to Macao, Vietnam, Thailand, Chenla, Manila, Batavia and other places, and later after the situation settled down, some returned to Guangzhou, and some settled in the local area.
However, now they have one more choice, Taiwan, go to Taiwan, Taiwanese goods are easy to sell.
In response to this situation, Taiwan's Hantang Group also launched a wartime management plan.
Of course, they have long been prepared accordingly, and directly diverted the ships at the Gerancha wharf, so that Hekou, Kaohsiung, and Keelung also participated in receiving these merchants.
The construction of Bengang Wharf has given Hantang Group one more choice.
The head of the Pan family's sea ship docked directly at the wharf where half of his own property rights were owned, and the merchants who accompanied him all admired the vision of Pan Zechen, the head of the Pan family.
On the way from getting off the ship to the Pan family's compound, Pan Zechen, the head of the Pan family, enjoyed a lot of sincere sycophants.
This kind of mood is really good - it makes him even happier to see his two sons, Pan Qi and Pan Feng, come to greet him.
However, he deliberately was lukewarm to these two sons, but he expressed his gratitude to Zheng Bin, the third master of the Zheng family, who came to greet him - people who don't know, listening to his words, it seems that Zheng Bin has always been taking care of these brothers, and it is all the Zheng family that is giving face to these brothers.
Everyone in the audience knew why, but no one pointed out the right facts, and the two were just a cooperative relationship rather than who led whom and who took care of whom.
The battle of Guangzhou was a devastating blow to the trade of Guangzhou, a city that had existed for nearly 1,000 years.
Although the Tartars did not have the ability to block the waterways of Guangzhou City, and although the Tartars did not have the ability to conquer Guangzhou City, the surrounding areas of Guangzhou City could not transport any output.
In real history, the battle of Canton was fought for nearly a year, and this was of course related to the inability of the Tartars to block the waterways, and they could not cut off the road for transporting grain in Canton - if they bought it at a high price, there would always be brave people who would send it, and they could also go out to buy it.
But those who rely on the surrounding area to supply their products are no longer there.
However, in Fujian, the Zheng family at that time had the triangle area of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and there were all three traditional ones.
Therefore, the importance of the Zheng family is self-evident.
Now, the source of goods is life and development.
How does the third master Zheng Bin not understand the mystery? He was also courteous and thoughtful to the head of the Pan family, and he also responded to other businessmen who were traveling with him, without any arrogance.
Under the leadership of the third master Zheng Bin, the eldest son Pan Qi, and the fourth son Pan Feng, the group first went to the Bengang Customs set up by the Hantang Group here to register.
This Bengang Customs was officially established after the establishment of Bengang Wharf, which was worked by the personnel produced by Lanxiang School and escorted by Mingren security personnel.
At the beginning, it was normal, just calculate the number of goods entering and leaving Hong Kong, collect various taxes and goods, or make a statistical table for the presiding officers of the Zheng and Pan families to sign and approve.
To put it bluntly, the Zheng family group and the Pan family group fully supported the taxation of the Han and Tang groups -- no matter where the businessmen operated, there was not a single one who did not know that they had to pay taxes, but like the Han and Tang groups, they always used big characters to clearly list the tax standards for all kinds of goods, and they did exactly what they did, which they had never heard of.
The third master, Zheng Bin, also secretly believed in the eldest brother Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai on this matter, claiming that in this way, he would be honest in the world and accept thousands of merchants from my Zheng family.
After thinking about it for a few days, the eldest brother Yongshengbo Zheng Cai replied very carefully, saying that the Hantang Group can do this, but my Zheng family can't do this.
It is beneficial to the world, the heart of ten thousand merchants, but it is not conducive to us, in case of temporary difficulties, how can we increase taxes? On the contrary, it slapped my Zheng family in the face, my Zheng family can't say that it will be a sudden tax increase after that, right? Don't be too shameless - and when there is a change, you can't use the foundation of my Zheng family, right?
That's what it means inside and out.
The third master, Zheng Bin, thought about it, and could only sigh, the eldest brother valued the silver taels in his own treasury.
At that time, there was a sudden influx of merchants at Bengang Customs, and although there was also prior notice, those people were still messed up and experienced it for the first time.
Fortunately, there are the three masters Zheng Bin and the two sons of the Pan family, no matter how slow the actions of those clerks are, the Ming businessmen express their affection, and this is also the opportunity to communicate with the third master Zheng Bin.
