Chapter 38: Zhao Yichang's attempt

"Brother Zhao, long time no see." Zhao Yichang's former companion Lu Teng was the first to say hello.

Zhao Yichang suppressed some excitement and replied as calmly as possible: "It's okay." ”

"Brother Zhao, what have you been doing lately," Lu Teng continued to ask.

"Nothing to do." Zhao Yichang felt a little calmer.

"If you don't have anything to do, you might as well go to sea with my brother and me. Recently, we walked to Jiaozhi, I remembered Brother Zhao's ability back then, if our brothers join forces, I want to be able to make a name for myself in Jiaozhi! Lu Teng invited Zhao Yichang, but he said it a little bit.

"What" Zhao Yichang already sensed that Lu Teng probably did not represent Zhao Jiaren.

Lu Teng hurriedly continued to explain, "We need manpower on the ship, and those Jiaozhi people have a lot of ideas. Brother Zhao was very good at dealing with that kind of person back then, brother, I still remember it. ”

Having said this, Zhao Yichang only felt extremely disappointed in his heart. He forcibly suppressed his unhappiness and said more clearly, "Do you want to invite me, or is someone looking for you to invite me?"

"I want to invite Brother Zhao to my boat......" Lu Teng saw that Zhao Yichang was not very happy, and quickly explained.

"I've been tired lately and don't want to go anywhere." Zhao Yichang did not hesitate to refuse the invitation of his former younger brother.

Lu Teng also wanted to continue to persuade Zhao Yichang, but was driven away by Zhao Yichang on the grounds that he was uncomfortable. As soon as Lu Teng left, Zhao Yichang sat back on the chair angrily and punched the armrest of the chair. Zhao Yichang's fists hurt when the hard wood shook, but it didn't calm the anger in his heart. He punched several more punches, until the pain went straight to his bones, and the intense sense of shame eased slightly.

He was a relative of the Zhao family, but he was recruited by his former younger brother. It's unreasonable! There's no king's way!

There was strong dissatisfaction and indignation boiling in his heart, and Zhao Yichang only felt that there was an evil fire blocking his heart, which made him feel restless. Many thoughts rolled in Zhao Yichang's mind, and suddenly Zhao Jiaren's name appeared, making Zhao Yichang feel that he had suddenly found the culprit. Yes, Zhao Jiaren is the culprit of these. Originally, Zhao Jiaren should have come to beg Zhao Yichang to come out of the mountain, if this guy became the governor of Quanzhou and respectfully went to Zhao Yichang's door to ask Zhao Yichang to come out of the mountain, Zhao Yichang, who is also a relative of the Zhao family, would not really refuse.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yichang didn't care that it was late, he went straight out and went straight to Zhao Jiaren's official residence. The Zhao clan relatives are all gathered in the more elite areas, and Zhao Yichang's house is not far from the official residence of Quanzhou Zhizhou.

When he arrived at the door, Zhao Yichang happened to see a lantern at the door of the official residence, and he didn't know who had entered the sedan chair, and Zhao Jiaren was sending people away. When Zhao Yichang walked into the lighting range, the one who came to Zhao Jiaren had already gotten up and left, and Zhao Yichang shouted to Zhao Jiaren with a straight face: "Brother Zhao has been doing well recently."

Zhao Jiaren turned his face and saw Zhao Yichang, and recognized him after a moment. Zhao Jiaren stepped forward, "Brother Yichang, long time no see." ”

Zhao Yichang was full of indignation on the way here, and was ready to scold Zhao Jiaren fiercely. However, after seeing Zhao Jiaren, I found that this teenager was already a tall and strong young man. Looking up at Zhao Jiaren, Zhao Yichang's momentum weakened. Zhao Jiaren's attitude is so kind, Zhao Yichang also feels that he can't get angry. I could only reluctantly reply: "Long time no see." ”

"It's cold outside, so it's better to go and sit at home," Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

Zhao Yichang did not refuse, and followed Zhao Jiaren into the official residence. Sitting down in the living room, Zhao Jiaren said bluntly: "Brother Yichang, I wanted to invite Brother Yichang to join my fleet, and there were still very good positions in the fleet at that time. Now that the positions are full, I know that Brother Yichang has a strong temperament, and I don't dare to talk about this matter with Brother Yichang anymore. ”

These words directly singled out the issues that Zhao Yichang was most concerned about, and Zhao Yichang was not good at saying anything about this matter. He was silent for a moment before he asked, "I don't want to be subordinate, but if there is something that can directly serve Brother Jiaren, I'm glad." ”

After saying this, Zhao Yichang felt that his face was a little feverish. Bowing his head like this has reached his limit, if Zhao Jiaren says something that he doesn't like, Zhao Yichang can only get up and leave.

Zhao Jiaren didn't answer immediately, he was happy in his heart. The mentality of people like Zhao Yichang is very common, and he feels that he has connections and ideas, so he wants to make full use of these intangible assets that he has made. This is the mentality of many people who are keen on MLM.

After thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren said: "If it's Brother Yichang, I have something I want to ask for." Many of us in the Zhao family have some money in their hands, but there is not much money. But I think the water becomes an abyss, and the soil becomes a mountain. Probably some people are willing to take out their money to invest in a business and eat some dividends. I've been working shipbuilding lately, and if you can trust me, you'll put your money into the shipyard. The ships that will be built in the future will be everyone's. Wherever my fleet went, they followed the big fleet, and I didn't ask you for anything else. Everyone is divided according to the money earned each year. Of course, I welcome the Zhao clan who invested the money to be able to come to the ship. I think with Brother Yichang's connections, he should be able to find such a clan. ”

This kind of business made Zhao Yichang feel that he was good at it, and he asked, "Then what good am I for?"

"I'm definitely going to make some money building a boat. If Brother Yichang can bring in money, I will give Brother Yichang a commission. The dividends earned by those boats, I also give Brother Yichang two percent dividends. What do you think" Zhao Jiaren made a condition.

"Commissions are too low. At least 5 cents. Zhao Yichang immediately expressed his opposition.

"I can only give one cent. Brother Yichang should know that I never owe my salaries to my subordinates, and I give a lot of money, so everyone is willing to work seriously. From the beginning of the purchase of materials to the start of construction of a ship, there are many steps in the middle, and it takes a long time. If I give you five cents, I will definitely not be able to take care of the cost until the new ship is launched. This one doesn't work. Zhao Jiaren did not make any concessions.

After communicating for a while, Zhao Yichang finally promised to help Zhao Jiaren attract investors. However, Zhao Jiaren's charter is too general, and he needs to come up with a more appealing charter.

Zhao Jiaren immediately agreed. Sending Zhao Yichang away, Zhao Jiaren took out the charter he had written. This was not prepared for Zhao Yichang, but the articles of association of a modern commercial joint-stock company that Zhao Jiaren had prepared a long time ago.

Modern banks and joint-stock companies are undoubtedly a great step forward in business, as this system clearly sets out and defines the rights and obligations, informs everyone that investment is risky, and defines a system of risk assessment and profit distribution. Since the system came out, the world has changed dramatically.

Only talk about profit, only talk about sharing. In order to maximize profits, everything that can be used is put to good use. The bloody history of colonization and plundering in Europe was also accompanied by the development of science and the establishment and improvement of institutions.

At the moment, Zhao Jiaren wanted to see if the Zhao family could be the first person to eat crabs. Success or failure, it's a good attempt.

With the lights turned on, Zhao Jiaren began to revise the business plan that had been written. He quickly immersed himself in it, until a white hand pressed on Zhao Jiaren's shoulder, and said in an unhappy soft voice: "What time is it, you still haven't slept yet"
