Chapter 203 Minhai Company, Industrial and Commercial School, Checks and Balances (Part 2)

"Your Majesty." Several professors of the business department of the Royal Academy of Sciences came together and bowed.

These people were originally the shopkeepers of the commercial banks under the name of the eunuchs, and after the fall of the eunuchs, they were almost put in prison, but Zhu Youzhen pardoned them and got them to the Academy of Sciences as professors to teach the way of business management.

In terms of identity, they naturally can't be compared with Song Yingxing Wang Zheng, but they have their own unique insights in the way of management, and in this era, they are rare management talents.

Zhu Youzhen ordered them to be flat, and then said his request directly.

"Your Majesty is to establish a company with many shareholders, and the first thing to do is to clarify the rights and obligations. Since it is a royal company, other shareholders can only pay dividends and are not allowed to interfere in the company's operations. Tan Xingxian, a professor of business, said.

"To attract small and medium-sized maritime businessmen to join, they need to be financially transparent and regularly disclose their operations to shareholders." Business professor Mao Liangzhe said.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand: "I don't understand this, you go back and discuss it yourself, and make a company plan for me." ”

Three days later, several business professors came to the palace again and handed over the plan of the Royal Maritime Trade Company to Zhu Youzhen for review.

The Royal Maritime Trading Company was established as the main body of the Royal Maritime Trade Merchant Conduct, absorbing small and medium-sized maritime merchants to join, and the specific share capital proportion and other accounts of the assets of the Royal Commercial Bank will be accounted for later. Tan Xingxian and Mao Liangzhe mainly showed Zhu Youzhen the company's operating mechanism.

The Royal Maritime Trade Company has a big treasurer, which is divided into cargo colony, shipping, foreign trade, security, and financial supervision departments, and each department has a treasurer, and then subdivides the division, and the amount of each manager varies.

From the procurement of maritime trade goods, the formulation of grade prices, the storage and storage of goods, the price intelligence of goods in overseas places, the command of maritime transportation, the escort of armed merchant ships, etc., there are special personnel in charge of all kinds of things, each performing its own duties.

"If such a company wants to operate, it needs a lot of people, and it is absolutely impossible to support it with just a few ministers. The minister suggested that talents could be recruited locally in Fujian. Tan Xingxian suggested.

"Yes." Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "What goods sell best in Japan and have the highest price, and what goods do the Luzon Franc people like the most, only those who go to sea all year round can understand." Such talents can be recruited from small and medium-sized maritime merchants, and there are many such people under Zheng Zhilong, who can be used. ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Royal Maritime Trade Company has 30% of Zheng Zhilong's shares," Tan Xingxian said cautiously, "Your Majesty said bluntly, the Haimao Company is the main body of the Royal Commercial Bank, and the Royal Commercial Bank should account for at least 90% of the shares, so the Zheng family's shares in the Haimao Company will also be between 20% and 30%, which is really a lot." The size of the royal company will be very large, and controlling the entire sea trade is just around the corner, so Zheng Zhilong is just a military general, a courtier of His Majesty, and so many shares are not what he should have. ”

Zhu You sighed: "When I decided to participate in the sea trade, I could only rely on the power of the Zheng family, otherwise I would not be able to intervene at all. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. But I am the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom Yuyan, since I have promised the Zheng family 30% of the shares, I can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, and I can't be untrustworthy! ”

Before Zhu Youzhen could answer, Mao Liangzhe smiled: "This matter is easy to do!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen and Tan Xingzhe both looked at him.

Mao Liangzhe said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the Royal Minhai Company should be established first, and with the current royal maritime trade entity, the Zheng family will occupy the shares promised by His Majesty. In the future, you can set up a separate Royal Zhehai Company in Zhejiang and a Royal Guangdong Company in Guangdong, and these newly established companies have nothing to do with the Zheng family. ”

"That's a good idea!" Tan Xingxian's eyes lit up, "In this way, it did not break the promise to the Zheng family, but also directly diluted the income of the Zheng family, and the focus of maritime trade can be shifted to Zhejiang and Guangdong in the future." In this way, the Zheng family has nothing to say. ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed happily, and immediately announced that Mao Liangzhe would serve as the chief treasurer of the Royal Minhai Company.

"Wait until next year, and then set up Zhehai Company, and then Tan Aiqing will be the manager." Zhu Youzhen appeased Tan Xingxian.

Tan Xingxian shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't have much idea about being the shopkeeper or not, but there is one thing I want to ask Your Majesty forbidden." ”

"Aiqing said let's hear it." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Tan Xingxian said: "Your Majesty has established the Royal Academy of Sciences, and under it there are departments of business, engineering, and agriculture, which integrate teaching and research. But in Yichen's opinion, the setup is too cumbersome. Business, engineering, and agriculture, one is to learn the way of business management, the other is to learn the skills of agriculture and industry, the focus is completely different, there is no need to put together in class.

His Majesty set up a textile workshop, set up a sea trade firm, the plan is very large, the layout is far-reaching, the future needs more and more talents, their own training of talents to use to rest assured. Therefore, the minister suggested that the Royal Academy of Sciences should be divided and teaching and research should be separated. Two schools of commerce and trade, agriculture and industry, can be set up to recruit students and teach respectively. The Academy of Sciences, on the other hand, is only responsible for researching advanced technology and studying the way of operation and management. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and felt that what Tan Xingxian said was very reasonable, so he said, "Yes." In this case, the school and the Academy of Sciences will be separated, Tan Aiqing, you will be the first principal of the business school, after you go back, study the majors that should be offered in the business school, what courses should be taught, list a charter to report to me, and then choose a place to build a school building, and you can enroll students separately in the fall. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Tan Xingxian said happily.

"As for Mao Aiqing, you have to start preparing for the maritime trade firm now, you can select people from the business department, and set off for Fujian as soon as possible, it will soon enter the summer, and it will not be long before the sea ship goes to sea. Royal Minhai Company may not be established this year, you first do the Royal Sea Trade Company shopkeeper, first understand the things that are familiar with the sea trade.

Well, I will send some eunuchs from the palace to serve as financial supervisors, rest assured, they are all very knowledgeable, they have studied in the inner study hall for many years, they are all proficient in arithmetic, they will not help, and they are only responsible for managing the accounts, and will not interfere with the operation of the business. In addition, I will send Jinyi Wei secret agents as your entourage, in fact, to help you monitor the entire company, these Jinyi guards rotate every three or five years, if there is anything illegal in the financial supervisors, you can inform me through Jinyiwei, I will deal with them! Zhu Youzhen said.

The amount of money involved in the sea trade company is too large, how can Zhu Youzhen rest assured that he will not send his own people into it? The real people themselves, only the eunuchs who grew up in the palace since childhood, are the most trustworthy. Of course, in order to prevent the eunuchs from deceiving themselves, Zhu Youzhen restrained their power and sent Jinyi Wei secret agents to monitor.

This layer of checks and balances is to keep the Royal Maritime Trade Company firmly in their own hands!

Mao Liangzhe naturally understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and hurriedly agreed. At the same time, he also understood that since the emperor said it so thoroughly, he was not necessarily warning himself not to have strange thoughts in the future.
