Chapter 140: Emperor Shang of the Ming Dynasty
Fang Wenzhen and the three couldn't help but glance at each other.
So Kang Million didn't come to them tonight to talk about food?
So what else could make Kang Million so serious?
At this point, the answer is actually ready to come out, Rao is Fang Wenzhen and the three of them are used to seeing big scenes, and at this time, they can't help but be a little nervous and expectant, the imperial businessman, this is the imperial businessman!
And Kang Million did not disappoint them.
Smiling, Kang Million said: "Three brothers, the meaning of the saint is already obvious, that is, to support a group of imperial businessmen who serve the imperial court!" ”
Fang Wenzhen and the three of them were thrilled.
Zhang Han said: "Brother Fang, can you tell us in detail?" ”
"Of course." Kang Million said, "The Holy Lord has decided to bid for nine factories, sixty-one workshops and more than 100 mines under the Inner Court War Bureau, and whoever bids the highest and produces the best quality of the things produced will have the opportunity to enter these factories, workshops and mines and become the imperial merchant of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Bidding?" Fang Wenzhen said, "Is it to buy those factories, workshops or mines?" ”
Zhang Han and Zhan Ningzhi were inevitably a little disappointed, if they just bought these factories, workshops or mines, it would not be very interesting, and the situation of those factories, workshops and mines in the inner court was not good.
Most of the time the saint did this to raise money, and by the way, he would get rid of these burdens.
That is to say, spending this silver is just to buy the name of an imperial merchant, so you have to think about whether it is worth it.
"How can it be so simple to act holy." Kang smiled and continued, "Buying seventy percent of these mines, workshops and factories is just the beginning. ”
"Seventy percent shares?" Zhang Han was stunned and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Kang Million said: "Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs will still retain three shares. ”
Zhang Han frowned and said, "Will the Internal Affairs Office interfere in specific affairs?" ”
"This won't." Kang Million said categorically, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is only responsible for supervision. ”
Zhang Han and the three of them immediately exchanged glances, which was a bit interesting.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs will still retain 30% of the shares, it means that the Holy One does not want to get rid of the burden.
Zhang Han asked again: "So what do you say about the things produced by these factories, workshops, and mines?" ”
Kang Million said: "The Daming Arsenal will purchase all the amounts, but there is one thing that must be explained in advance, that is, the quality of the product must be excellent, otherwise the Daming Arsenal will not admit it." ”
Fang Wenzhen asked again: "If a few of us bid for the factories, workshops or sulfur mountains of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in addition to having an accident with the Daming Arsenal, can we still do business with other companies?" ”
"Of course." Kang Million nodded and said, "But the premise is that the Daming Arsenal cannot be delayed." ”
Zhan Ningzhi said: "Listening to Brother Kang say so much, the most anticipated thing is actually this Daming Arsenal, I wonder if the Daming Arsenal will engage in bidding?" ”
"Brother Zhan, you finally got to the point, hehe."
Kang Million smiled, and said with a straight face: "The Daming Arsenal is also bidding for the outside world!" The reason why I have invited the three of you to a banquet in Meixianglou today is also for this matter. ”
Fang Wenzhen and the three of them were thrilled and asked, "What does Brother Kang mean?" ”
"Daming Arsenal, I am bound to win!" Kang Million said in a deep voice, "But our Kang family will definitely not be able to support such a big business, so we still need the full support of the three brothers!" ”
Zhan Ningzhi asked, "What does Brother Kang mean by the wrong silver?" ”
"Hey, borrow some money?" Kang Million waved his hand and said, "It's a joint stock!" ”
Speaking of this, he said: "The four of us will bid for the Daming Arsenal!" ”
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Fang Wenzhen and the three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and in this way, the three of them also became real imperial businessmen like Kang Million!
Only those who have business with the imperial court are the real imperial merchants.
However, if not, it is not very interesting to just hang the name of an imperial businessman.
Because those magistrates in the Ming Dynasty would not care about these false names at all, only when it really involved the inner court and military affairs, local officials did not dare to stretch out their hands.
Only in this way can their caravan be unimpeded in Daming.
Kang Million said: "Brother Fang, Brother Zhang, and Brother Zhan, bidding for the Daming Arsenal is not only an imperial businessman, but also a business that you can't imagine!" ”
"Too big a business to think about?"
Zhang Han and Zhan Ning's eyes became hot.
Fang Wenzhen couldn't help but ask: "How big business can it be?" ”
"How much business?" Kang Million smiled and said, "If you say it, I'll make a simple calculation for you, the Ming Dynasty now has a total of 200,000 border troops." ”
"But this is only temporary, and it will most likely expand to millions of people in the future!"
"If it is calculated at one million, at least 800,000 Lumi guns must be bought!"
"The price of each Lu Mi gun is one tael or two dollars, and this alone is nine hundred and sixty thousand taels!"
"Nine hundred and sixty thousand taels?!" Zhang Han and Fang Wenzhen were stunned when they heard this, this is really a big business.
Even if the four are divided equally, each family can have 240,000 taels, although this is not a profit, but it is also very powerful.
Don't look at this time, the four of them can easily scrape together four million taels of silver to hoard grain, and just this single grain business may make a profit of one million, but this kind of business is only once.
If you remove this business, you can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver a year in a normal year.
Kang Million is a salt merchant, and he may earn a little more, but his annual profit will never exceed 200,000 taels.
The millions of net worth of these four families have been accumulated over time by relying on decades of miserable operation.
"Brother Kang, that's not right, right." Zhan Ningzhi questioned, "According to the standard of the Qi family's army, one million border troops only need 400,000 Lumi guns, and it seems that there is no need for 800,000." ”
"This is what the Holy One said himself." Kang Wanwan said, "I don't know the specifics. ”
After a pause, Kang Million said, "And this is just one of them. ”
"In addition to the Lu Mi gun, there are also Tiger Squat Cannons and Hongyi Cannons, in addition to gunpowder and lead and other bulk ammunition, by the way, what kind of sleeve bayonet."
"Add up to millions!"
However, before Kang Wanwan's voice fell, a voice came in from outside the door: "I can't guarantee more, but the annual purchase quota of two million taels is still no problem." ”
With the sound of speaking, Zong Zhen had already quietly walked into the private room wearing a Yanju suit.
Behind Chongzhen, they were inseparable from Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong and Wang Chengen, in addition to Wu Zhutan and more than a dozen Yiding, who guarded the surroundings of the private room as soon as they entered.
Thanks to this private room, it is big enough, otherwise it really can't fit.
"Holy?" Kang Million suddenly felt a little confused.
Fang Wenzhen, Zhang Han and Zhan Ningzhi were also stunned.
On the contrary, Li Xiangjun, Li Shi Niang, Zheng Tuniang and another prostitute who accompanied the wine were the first to react, and they all got up and knelt on the ground to pay respects.
Kang million and the four of them woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to pay respects.
"Flat." Chongzhen sat on the main seat with a golden knife, and motioned to Kang Wanren and Li Xiangjun and a few famous prostitutes in Qinhuai to get up.
Chongzhen's gaze swept over Li Xiangjun's pretty face, well, it's a little pretty, more beautiful than the others.
It's just that Chongzhen's gaze stayed on Li Xiangjun's pretty face for less than half a second, and then moved back to Kang Million and the four businessmen, and the business was important.
Chongzhen said: "Is the annual turnover of five million taels a big business? ”
Smiling, Chongzhen said again: "If you are too little, I can also contract the supply of military rations to you, a million army will have four million stones of military rations every year, as well as condiments such as salt cubes, vinegar cloth, oil and hemp balls, and more than five million taels of silver in a year, and the two add up, that is seven million taels!" ”
"This." Kang million and the four were already dumbfounded.
Because the number Chongzhen said was beyond their imagination.
Seven million taels a year of business? They really can't even think about it.
This number is too big, Kang Million is okay, now after all, he is a relative of the emperor, and he has some confidence, but Fang Wenzhen and the others began to worry, worried that they would not be able to do well.
With such a big business, if something accidentally goes wrong, it will be a raid on their homes, and I am afraid that they will not be able to afford it.
Thinking of this, Fang Wenzhen and the three of them had already started to retreat, such a big business was definitely not something they could touch, so it was better to leave it to Uncle Kang Guo alone.
Chongzhen seemed to have guessed the voices of the three of them, and said with a smile: "But what I said is only a long-term goal, at this stage, there is not such a big business for you to do, at this stage, it will only be a business of two million taels when it is completed in a year, and I hope that a few people can relieve the country's difficulties, don't dislike the small business." ”
"No, no, the saint said this, it's really torturous for the grass people to wait."
Fang Wenzhen, Zhang Han and Zhan Ningzhi almost knelt down again.
Chongzhen said: "That means you have agreed to take over this business?" ”
Fang Wenzhen and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw a stirring color in the eyes of the other two.
At that moment, the three of them said in unison: "As long as the saint can look at the grass people, the grass people and others will definitely be smeared on the ground, and they will do their best for the saint and the Ming Dynasty, and they will die." ”
"I don't want you to die, I want you all to be well."
Chongzhen smiled, and then said with a straight face: "The supply of firearms and military rations for the 140,000 border troops on the Xuzhou front depends on all of you here!" ”
"The grass people will not be dishonored." Fang Wenzhen and the other three finally had some confidence.
The saint has done this, and personally drove to Meixianglou to explain to the three of them, if the three of them are still twisting and cowardly, it will be too ignorant to lift, and this half of their lives will be in vain.
Chongzhen continued: "I also hope that the three of you can continue to maintain the integrity of Huizhou businessmen and the righteousness of the first, and after you make money, you will support the small merchants and hawkers in your hometown of Huizhou and even the entire Nanzhi." ”
"Grass people, etc., remember the hadith." Fang Wenzhen and the three of them should be respectful.
