Chapter Thirty-Seven: Torture the Good Elderly
In the face of Liu Shucheng's words, Zhang Tinglan nodded and shook his head again: "It is true that I am ready to make a lot of money with the help of these lands, or a lot of money, but it is by no means a one-shot deal, I hope to take the land in my own hands, so as to avoid being manipulated by foreign shili, we must always be wary of pervasive foreigners." ”
Liu Shucheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought of another question: "Zhang Shao, I remember that when Shangfu land was developed, the government first demarcated the area, and then determined the land number, and then openly bid, and foreigners also had the right to bid. If the North Market also follows this model, the decision is in the hands of the Fengtian government, and everyone knows what our old governor is, don't look at us if we can get the land in advance, but once the foreigners put pressure, Zhang Xiluan will most likely take the initiative to let us spit out the land. ”
Liu Shucheng expressed the worries in his heart, as the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, Zhang Zuolin is not the governor of Fengtian after all, there is a Zhang Xiluan in the middle, and it is inevitable to compromise and retreat when encountering things.
"Don't worry about this problem, I have already thought about it, this development operation must isolate the government's liliang, it is completely commercial, I have a Fengtian Xingye company under my name, and I will buy land in the name of this company and develop it. As for the security brigade and the tax collectors, I lease them from the 27th Division through a contract, so that our operation is completely autonomous, and the foreigners have no chance to interfere. ”
As soon as Zhang Tinglan's words came out, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan were both eye-catching, this idea was indeed good, and the development in the name of the company became a simple commercial act, and the government was excluded. The great powers lost their excuse to intervene, although everyone knew that such a big action could not be done without the support of political liliang, but knowing that with such a layer of barrier, it was equivalent to an extra layer of protection.
Of course, the two of them have not yet seen Zhang Tinglan's more far-reaching purpose, and he not only blocked the foreigners under the banner of complete commercial operation, but also blocked the Beiyang government, and at the same time blocked Zhang Zuolin.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and at present, Zhang Tinglan has to rely on Zhang Zuolin's big tree to develop, but after all, one day Zhang Tinglan will have to stand on his own, and it becomes very important to have Shili under his own control, so he is not unreserved for Zhang Zuolin.
From the beginning of the planning, the entire North Market has positioned the 27th Division in the position of protector, and the specific operation cannot be interfered with, so that the North Market is a tool of Zhang Tinglan alone, and he actually has the final say on how many interests.
Zhang Tinglan continued: "As the so-called sedan chair carries people, I have always advocated that the businessmen of Fengtian should unite to form a fist and have our own liliang, whether it is in the face of foreigners or the government, we must use the courage to fight for legitimate rights and interests." We operate in good faith and pay taxes according to the regulations, which is our duty, but whoever wants to treat us as weeds and who can step on it must beware of our retaliation. This industrial company cannot be owned by me alone, and it will immediately absorb a large number of shares, and you are the first shareholders. ”
Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan are both shrewd characters, Zhang Tinglan said that they have also figured it out that if they want to fight against the shili of foreigners, it is definitely not enough to rely on one company alone, everyone must unite together, first of all, the businessmen of Fengtian must unite to protect their own interests.
In fact, there are chambers of commerce in various parts of China, and businessmen also pay attention to taking care of each other, but this kind of chamber of commerce is only based on the feelings of fellow villagers, and there is no direct relationship. Zhang Tinglan's method was to use the name of the Xingye Company to tie the businessmen of Fengtian to the chariot with real share interests.
This industrial company is still an empty shell, but the potential of this company is incomparably huge, and grasping the power of market development is equivalent to having a cash cow, and anyone will be attracted by this huge profit.
And Zhang Tinglan was able to give up the company's shares at this time, without thinking about eating alone, which made Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan feel sincere admiration for Zhang Tinglan's courage. At a young age, he knows how to make trade-offs and knows how to share benefits, which is very remarkable, Liu Shucheng is a full old fox, Qiao Ruixuan has also been crawling in the mall for many years, it is not so easy to make these two people completely obedient, but at this time, these two people are sincerely attached and began to take the initiative to give advice to Zhang Tinglan.
"Zhang Shao, according to your plan, the core area of the North Market is ten rooms near the Imperial Temple, there are not many large families in this area, they are all inhabited by some poor people, I think as long as they give them some subsidies, they can get the land. In addition, the big families who own large land are the old and young of the former Qing Dynasty, and their situation is more troublesome, after all, these people are still connected with officialdom, and their family background is also very rich. ”
"It's not a hassle at all." Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved his hand: "I arrested Shanqi and Shengyun of the Zongshe Party, they are suspected of conspiracy to commit treason, life and death are in my hands, and they are inextricably linked with those old and young, which means that I can take their lives at any time, it depends on whether they are worthy of harmony." ”
When Liu Shucheng heard Zhang Tinglan's domineering words, he immediately sighed with emotion, the young man opposite had already calculated all aspects, and every step he took had his own deep meaning, it can be said that all Zhang Tinglan's actions were around the North Market.
Fred was recruited in order to obtain sufficient capital, and at the same time, it was also to introduce advanced financial talents. The purpose of dealing with the Japanese was to establish authority, and the purpose of rectifying law and order was to build up a police team and manage the North Market in the future. The attack on the Zongshe Party was to control the land, and to pull Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan into the chariot in order to gain the support of the Fengtian merchants.
Quietly, a big net has been unfolded, and now is the time to close the net, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan glanced at each other, their eyes showed both surprise and joy, surprised that Zhang Tinglan's calculation was far-reaching, and happy that they could join in this feast and share their own cake.
"Zhang Shao, since you have thought about it, then we don't have to worry, we will go and buy the land immediately."
These two people are also anxious, businessmen are unprofitable, and now that they see huge benefits, it is okay for them to forget to sleep and eat.
"Okay, you can do it separately now, and any other money you need can be withdrawn through Daosheng Bank, and the manager Fred is also our own person, and the Industrial Company will leave him ten percent of the shares."
Even the foreigners pulled on the thief ship, Liu Shucheng really didn't know what to say, and he only had the word admiration in his heart.
"Zhang Shao, do you have any other orders?"
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Lao Liu, you are familiar with the situation of Fengtian merchants, you can now secretly contact some powerful and well-behaved businessmen, let them become shareholders of Xingye Company, and at the same time can also assist you to buy land together, after all, such a big thing cannot be completed by a few people, but for the time being, it must be kept as secret as possible." ”
Liu Shucheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, he thought about it and asked: "Zhang Shao, once this North Market is completed, are there any specific preferential measures, you give me a clue, and I can answer when other businessmen ask." ”
Zhang Tinglan turned around and took out another draft document from the desk and sent it to Liu Shucheng: "I, Jihua, only levy business tax and income tax on all shops, and add value-added tax to factories, in addition, all exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished, the business tax rate will be 5 percent, the income tax will be 20 percent, and the value-added tax will be specifically approved, but it will not be too high." For all businessmen who pay taxes according to the regulations, we will provide maximum convenience, security, water and electricity, employment of workers, capital lending and so on. All the products operated in the North Market are not allowed to collect taxes at the large and small checkpoints in Mukden during transportation, and if anyone dares to violate them, I will use troops to destroy him. ”
After Zhang Tinglan briefly introduced the preferential measures, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan couldn't help but breathe quickly, this condition is really good, the types of taxes and tax rates have been unprecedentedly reduced, and the burden on the shoulders of businessmen has been reduced by at least half. Managers are no longer bent on exploiting merchants, but to provide convenience, and controlling the checkpoints has greatly reduced transportation costs, which have a fatal attraction to merchants.
"Zhang Shao, just for your preferential conditions, the Fengtian businessman will definitely not miss this good opportunity, and the two of us will immediately contact the staff." Liu Shucheng didn't look nearly fifty years old, but at this time, his steps were brisk, as if he was twenty years younger all of a sudden.
Zhang Tinglan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the North Market, which he had planned for a long time, finally reached the time when everything was ready and only the east wind was owed, and he could relax a little, but before that, he had to squeeze the bone marrow of Shanqi and Shengyun out of the two guys, and get the land in their hands.
Shanqi and Shengyun were felons who conspiracy to commit treason, so they were guarded in the barracks of the 27th Division, surrounded by soldiers day and night, Su Liangzhen had interrogated them several times, and these two old guys still wanted to resist to the end and didn't say anything.
However, Su Liangzhen also has enough methods, after all, he has a large number of correspondence documents in his hands, as well as physical evidence of rebellion, and they are the same whether they say it or not.
"Shanqi, I advise you to cooperate with us honestly, and stop thinking about who can save you, don't you know that the Japanese don't care about you anymore?"
"Hmph, ant-like character, what qualifications do you have to interrogate me, I am the prince of the Qing Dynasty, you sent me to Beijing, I want to see Yuan Datou, I see if he dares to kill me!"
"Prince Su is really an old man." Zhang Tinglan walked in with a smile, he had already heard the conversation between Su Liangzhen and Shanqi outside, at this time, the old thing was still thief, counting on sending him to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan of course knew that the relationship between Beiyang was intertwined, from Yuan Shikai down to the old bureaucrats of the Manchu Dynasty, plus the great powers shili were strong, Shanqi arrived in Beijing, life and death are really hard to say, and the whole case is not sure to be resolved.
"Shanqi, you think it's beautiful, but let me tell you, this is a beautiful dream, have you forgotten what our origin is, you honestly confess the crime of treason, and then contribute all the family property, honestly cooperate with me to guarantee your life, maybe you will be sent to Beijing, handed over to President Yuan. If you don't obey your age, you are frightened and scared, and you are restless, and you will die if you drink cold water casually, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. ”
