Chapter 679: Five Nations Shipyard (7)
After watching the big drama on the river, the barge returned to the wharf, and everyone changed to a horse-drawn carriage, along the road that had been repaired earlier, and began to patrol the island...... Read the latest and most complete novels
Groups of Qing Dynasty people were leveling the land, and after watching this scene, Yang Meng also left an impression of being resolute in the hearts of all foreign businessmen.
Yang Meng's time in office is only one month, this month's time, is the time for him to plan the Dawan shipyard, although there was a small shipyard on Dawan Island before, but all the shipyards built are wooden sailboats, and they are also wooden sailboats of the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Meng's new layout of the Dawan Shipyard, even in the eyes of shipbuilding experts brought by foreign businessmen, is a very professional shipyard prototype, perhaps foreign businessmen difficult to understand the role of the two dams, but these European and American shipbuilding experts are very clear.
These two dams, is just the beginning, the most difficult project is the dam on the other side, after the four dams are built, it should be the dredging of the river, deepening, after completion, this Dawan shipyard, is an excellent shipyard that can avoid the wind and waves, although the foundation part, the amount of work is larger, but the island has a huge number of people, but can complete such a project within a year, maybe the time will be shorter.
With a dock and waterways, and a steam drying room built, as long as timber is brought in from the sea, the shipyard can manufacture large sea vessels, and in a maximum of one year, the Dawan shipyard can start shipbuilding. Such a degree of production is undoubtedly very fast.
He led the group to a cleaned wooden shed. Yang Meng stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to take a seat. Looking at the slightly impatient faces, he cleared his throat and began fishing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must be accompanied by shipbuilding experts, let me say a word first, the main goal of Dawan Shipyard is to build iron-hulled ships, and the number of wooden ships will not be too much, let's communicate first!"
After Yang Meng's words were translated by Tiffany, large and small gangs appeared below. In terms of numbers, there is no doubt that the English gang is the largest, and in terms of unity, it is the Milican gang of Nuores, and there is no doubt that Neveres has absolute dominance among the Millican gang.
First there was the exchange between small gangs, and then the exchanges between gangs, and about half an hour later, a large Western gang appeared in front of Yang Meng, and those shipbuilding experts became the staff of this gang.
In the exchanges between the gangs, Yang Meng also roughly determined the relationship between European and American countries. The British and French merchants were obviously at odds with each other, while the German merchants were more closely associated with the British merchants. It seems that France is not very well received in Europe! As for the Milicon gang of Grace, they are closer to France, and some things are also very subtle!
"It seems that you already have a general idea, do you have any comments on taking a stake in Dawan Shipyard? If you have an opinion, please say it in advance! â
While speaking, he glanced at the merchants and ministers below, and on Pa Xiali's face, Yang Meng clearly showed hostility, and the enemy is the enemy after all!
The answer given to Yang Meng by everyone in the audience was silence, and another meaning of silence was acquiescence, since no one had an opinion, Yang Meng took over the fishing.
"It's a good thing that you don't have an opinion! But then you may have an opinion, and I want to talk about the ownership of the shipyard!
In view of the fact that the shipyard was opened in Daqing, and in view of the fixed income of 10 years and 30% promised by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education believes that the shipyard should be owned by us! That is to say, no matter how much you contribute, 51% of the equity of the shipyard should be in our hands.
Don't mess around, I have something to say!
Ownership only involves the operation of the shipyard, while the profit dividend of the shipyard is based on the proportion of capital contribution.
In this way, the Dawan Shipyard has two sets of share structures, one is ownership and management rights, and the other part is fixed income and dividends, which are not related to each other.
If you want to decide the ownership of the shipyard according to the proportion of capital contribution, then the 30% fixed income promised by the headquarters is not a loss-making transaction?
Let's talk to each other again! â
When Yang Meng said the ownership, there were many objections, and after the explanation, although the noise under the venue was much smaller, there were still people whispering.
In the exchange just now, the foreign businessmen also roughly estimated that the total amount of funds raised this time was a bit terrifying, and it was obviously difficult for everyone to hand over such a large amount of funds to the Qing people.
Everyone has to reach an agreement on ownership, I am afraid that it will not be possible in a short time, look at the sky, it is also time for lunch, Yang Meng waved his hand, and a slightly simple banquet began.
After the banquet began, Yang Meng also put on a posture of refusing people thousands of miles away, and a group of officials of the Qing Dynasty sat in a circle, surrounding Yang Meng and Pan Shicheng in it, obviously Yang Meng did not plan to talk to them until the foreign businessmen exchanged ideas.
"Ministry, it's almost done!"
There are outsiders here, Pan Shicheng also distanced himself from his son-in-law, although he is surrounded by his own people, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable!
"Hmmm! Almost! After noon, let's go and inspect the shipyard! Report the grand occasion of the shipyard to the imperial court with an excerpt! â
The exchange in the afternoon will involve the amount of funds, and Yang Meng also left a hand for these officials around him, too large funds are also the way to cause trouble!
For foreign businessmen, the banquet is not simple, it is no longer a problem, finding out Yang Meng's loopholes is the problem they are most concerned about, the huge amount of funds, and the rich return of interests, these are all things that need to be cautious.
If this is a scam, you won't be able to find a grave even if you cry!
After sorting out the general problems, Bao Ling, who was quite proficient in business, became the spokesperson of many foreign businessmen, and in order to accurately understand Yang Meng's semantics, a translation group with Pasha Li as the translator was also temporarily established.
"Yang Butang, let me ask you, such a huge amount of money. How should it be regulated?
The amount of money available today. It's almost 30 million pounds. This huge amount of money can't be controlled by you unilaterally, right? â
Thirty million gold pounds! The sea ship can also be filled with one, and it will be handed over to the Qing Kingdom like this, and a person can't play like this!
"Governor Pauling's words are very good, large-scale capital supervision is a big problem, deposit zĂ i in your country's banks, I don't worry! Stored on our side. You don't have to worry either!
And such a huge amount of funds, you to raise, is also extremely difficult, Dawan Shipyard to raise funds, I think should be based on the kind, cash flow, should be controlled within 30 percent, preferably between 10 percent and 15 percent, such a amount of funds, to our hands. You'll be less worried.
As for the physical objects, one is the machinery used in shipbuilding. The second is the top and practical shipbuilding technology, the third is the mother machine of manufacturing machinery, and the fourth is the equity of mines around the world, so that the merchants here or about to participate in the shares will have much less pressure on funds.
The manufacture of various machinery is also one of the goals of Dawan Shipyard, and the manufacture of iron-hulled steamships with huge transportation capacity can solve the problem of transportation of minerals, machinery and materials.
I don't know if you are satisfied with such an answer? â
Translation, communication, Yang Meng finished saying this sentence, and the people below gave a corresponding answer after two quarters of an hour.
"Yang Butang, in terms of machinery, we have no doubt, what kind of shipbuilding technology do you refer to by top and practical shipbuilding technology?"
Bao Ling's question is still sharp and clear, this question is not so easy to define, new technology, old technology, well-known basic technology, how can such a thing define its value?
"This problem is very easy to solve, the so-called top and practical technology, that is, in the practical application of the proven, and is a unique technology, for the technology shares, we also have to set up a special agency to evaluate various shipbuilding technologies.
The technology in the theory cannot be used as equity, after all, Dawan Shipyard should do real in the actual shipbuilding process, and the risk is borne by the shipyard. â
Yang Meng's words are very practical, this is also in line with the appetite of foreign businessmen, if you just come up with a drawing or something, it can be regarded as technology, and it is also a great harm to these investors, isn't it?
"Yang Butang, how do you explain the equity of mines around the world? Did we lose ownership of our mines around the world after taking a stake in Dawan Shipyard?
This issue also involves the ownership of the shipyard, once we take the equity of the mines, according to Yang Butang's previous statement, we actually lose the ownership of these mines. â
These people here are all old oilmen who are in the world, no one is a fool, the ownership of the shipyard and the ownership of the mine, there is obviously a trap in this, business is like this, you have a trap, you can avoid it in advance, and if you can't do it, this is not a fraud.
"Hmmm! This is a very tricky problem, if we buy shares in the form of mine equity, we have 51% ownership of the shipyard, for you, this is a loss!
So be it! Let's change the term ownership, the ownership of the shipyard is distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution, and the right to operate the shipyard is our full right.
The right to operate mines around the world, we have to carefully distinguish it, I think it should be based on the shipyard, supplemented by all businesses, after all, Dawan Shipyard is an industrial combination, with the exhibition of the shipyard, we can also explore a set of fast and effective management mode and production methods.
As we all know, the larger the output of the mine, the smaller the investment, is the profit model, Dawan Shipyard will replace the pure manual or semi-manual mining mode with large-scale machine mining, with such a model, the huge demand for minerals in various countries can also be met. â
Yang Meng said that in the first half, everyone still recognizes that as for the second half, the number of people recognized is not much, a mine, the total reserves are fixed, if the mining is completed within ten years, there will be no income in the future, and the goal of the first ten years is the 30% fixed income.
If after 10 years, the shipyard does not go bankrupt, and the depleted mine will be unprofitable, which is another small business trap!
"Yang Butang, this fixed income is certainly considerable, but what do you say about the dividends of equity involved?"
"Governor Bowling's views are still sharp! It's easy to do! Divide the total amount of funds raised into 10 parts, excluding the annual fixed income expenses and operating costs, if there is a surplus, how about this part of the surplus as profit? Profits should be distributed according to the proportion of the invested funds, do you think it is reasonable? â
Yang Meng's slick and cunning was undoubtedly revealed in Bao Ling's questions again and again, and everyone's evaluation of Yang Meng was much higher.
Although Yang Meng laid a lot of business traps, everyone present did not dislike Yang Meng, but gradually agreed with Yang Meng.
"Yang Butang, how do you explain this operating cost? The purchase of machinery and the like should be regarded as operating costs, but this is also counted in the equity, if you add a certain amount of machinery every year, offset this part of the profit, ten years of dividends is not hopeless?
And to machinery shares, there is also a disadvantage, within ten years the shipyard is likely to purchase machinery year after year, how to calculate the fixed income and dividends of this part of the equity funds? â
When it comes to these things, some questions are simply tangled, and it is difficult to give accurate answers!
"Alas...... Governor Bowing is really a good opponent, every question has to poke at the soft underbelly of the main department, let's put it this way! In the early stage of the stake in the machinery, you can add normal profits, as for the profit margin, everyone is a clear person, lying about the profit margin to increase the price, I am afraid that it will not be hidden.
And when it comes to ten years later, this batch of shares can only be invested at cost price, the longer it drags on, the lower the valuation of this shares, if the shipyard goes bankrupt after ten years, before bankruptcy, I will make up for the discount of these machinery, so what? â
Yang Meng's answer is quite satisfactory, shopping malls are like this, when profits always have ups and downs, no one can do it perfectly, even if there is some price difference, in the face of a huge amount of funds, it can be roughly ignored.
The next step is to talk about the signing of the contract and the guarantee of fixed income, after all, the fixed rate of return promised by Yang Meng is too high, and many people here are not optimistic that the shipyard can last for more than ten years, once there is a problem, Yang Meng needs to come up with a solution.
