Chapter 169: The Glassworks
Bai Gonggong came to the meeting as a royal representative, and he had known for a long time that there was still a glass factory, so he was the first person to take out the contract and exchange it with the new contract, because this is the royal representative, and the contract should be stamped with the private seal of Emperor Dawu, and it is impossible for Emperor Dawu to come here in person, so the contract is stamped with a seal in advance.
However, it also let everyone know that the royal family has been prepared for a long time.
Someone took the lead, and it was the white father-in-law who represented the royal family, and everyone didn't talk nonsense, and carefully read the conditioning on the contract, as well as the division of shares.
Especially the new shareholders who just joined, they all looked very carefully, but everyone was a little surprised when they saw it, they didn't expect the contract to be written in such detail, especially Mrs. Qian, who glanced at Lin Xia meaningfully.
Finally, after everyone signed and sealed, the discussion began on the expansion of the paper mill.
The lady of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites felt that she had lost face because of what happened just now, and the next thing was the problem of the expansion of the paper mill, and how much silver money was needed, and this silver money was the amount of money that the new shareholders would have to pay to join the paper mill, and she felt bored after listening to it for a while.
"I'm sorry, guys, I still have something to do, and that's what I heard today. Anyway, it's all a matter of the new shareholder, and I, the old shareholder, will no longer delay time, so I will leave first. Although the lady of the Ministry of Rites was polite, she was very detached, and she became the first shareholder of the paper mill to leave the meeting on the way.
Everyone's faces were very bad, and their eyes were a little scrutinizing when they looked at her, and Lin Xia, who was thrown off his face, smiled very kindly, "Since you have something, then please first." ”
Okay, I'm going to announce the glass factory later, and she saved it.
When the lady of the Rite Ministry saw Lin Xia say this, she only felt that she was flattering herself, thinking that if she hadn't seen Lin Xia being kind and friendly, acting generously and not procrastinating, she would not have been close to Lin Xia. But today, for the sake of a little thing, she has no face, and she doesn't have to have a deep friendship with her, and it's useless to flatter herself.
"Then I'll go, I've already made an appointment with the Duchess of the Kingdom, and I don't want to miss the appointment."
Lin Xia squinted his eyes slightly, hooked his lips and smiled deeply, "Please." ”
Everyone saw Lin Xia swallowing his anger, but he only felt that the lady of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter's family really loved to be upright, and those who had some friendship with her in the past thought that they would be far away from her in the future, and they couldn't even see the priority of things, and she offended a lot of people in this line.
And there has been news that at the flower viewing banquet the day before, the reason why Lin Xia was hit by the foot was precisely because the duchess hit her, and she had an arrogant attitude and didn't take Lin Xia in her eyes.
knew that Lin Xia had an enmity with the Duchess of Guo, but she left the table in the middle of the shareholders' meeting, just to make an appointment with the Duchess of Guo, which ruined Lin Xia's face, and there would be no good fruit to eat in the future.
Although Lin Xia does not have a title, she is also a status figure in the capital, after all, she has a deep relationship with the queen, and her Yalin residence and paper mill have attracted many royal relatives, princes and nobles. In terms of who has the strongest relationship network in the capital, many dignitaries and dignitaries still have to rush to catch up, and only Yalinju is there.
As soon as the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites went out, Mrs. Zhenguo said coldly, "The wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has a very big temper. ”
Mrs. Zhenguo has already reconciled with Lin Xia, and Mrs. Zhenguo loves Xiao Xi'er very much, and secretly sent a lot of things to Xiao Xi'er, and the two families are very close, of course, there are also Mrs. Shouguo who has been introduced by Mrs. Zhenguo, and they are also close.
What's more, they all know Lei Biao's identity, although there is no throne, but the person is there after all, and Lin Xia has such a good relationship with the queen, it is obvious that the queen and Emperor Dawu have long known the identities of Lei Biao and Lin Xia, but they just see through it and don't say it.
Lin Xia smiled faintly, "Don't be angry, Mrs. Zhenguo, this meeting is indeed boring." As he spoke, he turned to look at everyone, "Since someone has something to leave in advance, then I want to ask, who else is in a hurry?" You can also leave the venue early. ”
If people are not in harmony, trading will not last long, and for people with different intentions, Lin Xia will not keep them. The paper mill has already let her participate in the shares, and she does not hold many shares, so there is no reason to return other people's shares, but the glass factory is different.
Among them, there are also some people who want to leave, because some of the father-in-law or younger brothers in the family are really serving as waiters in the Ministry of Rites, but they don't want to make Lin Xia lose face because of this time, the most important thing is that there are many people here who can't be provoked, and there is also Father-in-law Bai......
After hesitating for a long time, no one left again.
"Mrs. Lei is really joking, and the big things can't be compared with the present." Bai Gonggong spoke first, as the head of the Inner House, if he said it seriously, who would dare to say that he was busier than him?
Everyone Bai Gonggong has said that the 'big things' are not as important as they are now, who is so blind to see the same stupid departure as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
"That's it, Mrs. Lei, please continue, I think you all have the same idea, after all, this is a shareholder meeting." Mrs. Qian suddenly spoke, representing the oldest family, and what she said made the hearts of some impetuous people suddenly be calmed.
After all, there are few people who can become shareholders who are stupid to give away the benefits they get.
"Okay, I'll move on." Lin Xia swept everyone for a week, and said in his heart that these people deserve to come out of a big family, calm down, and can see current affairs clearly.
In fact, the big guy's impression of Lin Xia is also very good, although Lin Xia rarely participates in the ladies' gatherings, but she has done all the etiquette that should be done, and she is also very talkative, does not chew the root of her tongue, does not compete for the limelight, does not compare, and does things neatly, she may not agree to all the things she asks, but she can do the things she promised soon.
For example, in the bathing room on the fourth floor of the Twin Restaurant, some official wives couldn't make an appointment for the herbal bath, but they didn't know the recipe of the herbal bath, so they asked Lin Xia if they could give them the recipe for the herbal bath, and Lin Xia gave them the recipe for the herbal bath without saying a word, and it was given away for free, without being stingy at all.
So everyone's impression of Lin Xia can be said to be quite good, and they are all willing to communicate with her.
The expansion was finally over, and the paper mill had nothing to talk about, and then Lin Xia threw a bombshell in the light wind*.
"I would like to talk to you about our new plan for Yalinju, the glass factory." The corners of Lin Xia's slightly pursed mouth drew a graceful arc, and he saw everyone's eyes widen and react with excessive fright.
Well, that's a good picture. Lin Xia said secretly in his heart.
It's the first time everyone has heard the name "glass", which is an unfamiliar word, because they have only heard of "glass".
Lin Xia smiled and said, "This glass is completely different from the glass. As he spoke, he put the finished fish bowl he had brought from the glass factory on the table for everyone to see.
"This is a fish tank, you can see small fish swimming in it, in addition to the fish tank, you can also make tea sets, cups and dishes, vases, handicrafts, etc."
Everyone's eyes were shining, as if a mountain of gold and silver had appeared in front of them.
"Large pieces of glass can also replace window screens and window paper, Yuliang is inlaid on the window with colored glass, but it is not clear to see, but this glass is different, you can see very clearly inside and outside. At the same time, there is a very clear mirror, which will replace the copper mirror in the future, and is now under research for the time being, but the technology of this glass is very mature and can be produced in large quantities. ”
Lin Xia's words were like a drop of water poured into a hot oil pot, and it exploded instantly.
"Madame Ray!" Mrs. Qian was the most excited, and stood up, "What you said is true?" ”
Except for Mrs. Qian, the rest of the new shareholders were very excited, and of course the old shareholders looked the same.
"Of course." Lin Xia repeated his words again very seriously, "If you are interested, you can buy shares according to the rules of the paper mill." My Yalinju is not a stingy person, you are very close to my Yalinju, since you have money, naturally everyone earns it together. ”
Lin Xia's words were very beautiful, making everyone think that he had a very close relationship with Yalinju, even people who didn't have frequent contact with Lin Xia, when they heard this, they felt that they were friends with this Mrs. Lei.
Isn't it a good relationship, can you share such a good deal with others?!
So everyone was boiling, and compared to the silence just now, it can now be described as a loud voice.
Some of them who are good friends with the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites have lamented that they did not go with that woman, otherwise they don't know how to regret it when they go back, they are really very happy.
But what's even happier is that there is one less person to share shares with yourself!
"Mrs. Lei, you say, what are we going to do, how are we going to do it, so that we can become a shareholder?" Some people were even more anxious, and directly asked Lin Xia how to buy shares.
"Yes, yes, you just say it, and we'll do it!"
"Yes, just do it!"
Lin Xia smiled softly and gracefully, she was very satisfied with such a scene, and took out the contract that had already been drawn up to distribute to everyone, as for the shares of the glass factory will be divided into 100 shares, Yalinju still shares with technology, accounting for 10 percent, and the price of each share is 100,000 taels of silver.
As for the royal family, the wealthy occupy ten shares, and the rest of the shares are divided equally, and whoever wants more of the remaining shares can buy a few more shares, but there is a limit on the number.
Because Lin Xia's idea is to let multiple forces twist into a rope, rather than really trying to make a fortune as a gold mine for a certain family. And this is also to prevent someone from maliciously holding shares, things are good, but too greedy can not be, today you can occupy shares with money, tomorrow maybe it will be overwhelming, so that the glass factory becomes a unique.
One hundred thousand taels of one share, one hundred shares excluding the technical shares of Yalinju and the ten shares of the royal family, the remaining eighty shares were exchanged for silver money, that is, eight million taels of silver!
Not to mention others, even the royal representative of Bai Gonggong was a little suppressed, and the annual tax revenue of the entire treasury was only 30 million taels of silver, and this glass factory raised 8 million taels of shares alone, which is about to catch up with one-third of the annual tax revenue of the national treasury.
That's a lot of money!
