100,000 shares, 100,000 shares, then this is 10 million shares!

Wodi is a mother, as soon as this Yan King makes a move, it is a fairy fart, which is extraordinary.

A weaving workshop employing hundreds of people, the principal is only tens of thousands of yuan, so how huge is the 10 million yuan Dasong Sugar Company?

At this time, a penny is almost equivalent to a dollar in later generations, and companies with a market value of 10 billion yuan are very common in later generations, but at this time they are unprecedented.

In the midst of the shock, some people realized the key, "Your Highness, may I ask how many shares these 100,000 shares occupy in total?"

After hearing this question, everyone also reacted, from the perspective of the grange system, the shares issued by this are definitely not the property rights of the entire company, and the proportion also determines the amount of profit sharing, which is of course the most important issue.

In the scorching eyes of everyone, Zhao Mengqi began to explain.

"Yi Gu's assumption is that the equity of the Great Song Sugar Company is divided into tradable shares, that is, these 100,000 shares, accounting for 40%, which is allowed to be bought and sold freely, and then the imperial court accounts for 30% of the shares, and the proceeds are handed over to the treasury, which is temporarily held by the king and handed over to the household department when the time is ripe, and finally the royal family accounts for 30% of the shares, which is temporarily held by the princess of Fengguo."

"Lone stated in advance that although this Da Song Sugar Company is an industry founded by Lone, it must also pay taxes according to the regulations, and then a certain percentage of the annual net profit should be left for the company's operation, which is equivalent to an increase in capital, of course, regardless of the increase or decrease in capital, it will be included in each share accordingly, and the value of each stock will also fall and rise."

"The final profit will be distributed in the form of dividends at the year-end settlement according to the proportion of shares."

After listening to this, the gentry quickly calculated in their hearts.

In this way, the entire company is worth 25 million yuan......

Yan Wang is the initiator of the company, and he has mastered the secret recipe for the production of snow sugar, even if he does not have a penny of principal, he should account for the majority, which has nothing to say, but I don't understand why he wants to give thirty percent to the imperial court.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this point is not bad, the three-legged stand is not a monopoly, after all, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are not so submissive to the royal family, the imperial court and the royal family account for the same proportion, the two are enough to compete with each other, and can ensure the stability of the entire company.

Although the funder can only get forty percent of the benefits in the end, but with the windfall profits of snow sugar, this forty percent is also very considerable, didn't Yan Wang say that it guarantees an annual income of 100 percent per share, which is also equivalent to double the profit, and there are it every year.

"Your Highness, the old man took the liberty to ask, will the sugar company issue anything other than these 100,000 shares?"

Zhao Mengqi groaned, "Well, the world changes, and no one can predict the future, but Lone can guarantee that there will be no change in this equity structure in ten years, and these 100,000 tradable shares are the original shares, even if the share capital needs to be increased, these 100,000 shares will be split, and it will be a good thing for every original shareholder at that time."

Subsequently, many gentry asked other questions, and Zhao Mengqi patiently answered them one by one.

"Your Highness, how much do you plan to price this snow candy?"

"Before the workshop was established, the output was limited, so it was tentatively set at ten pounds, but after a year, there should be large-scale production, and then the territory of the Great Song Dynasty should be stable to a consistent pound, in general, the actual price should be determined according to the output and the market, we are the only one in the world to trade, do not worry about no profit."

"Your Highness is right, it seems that no one in this world will be better at business than Your Highness, and we don't need to worry too much about it at all...... By the way, I wonder how much I can sell right now?"

"At present, I can only sell a thousand catties, forget it, it's not interesting at all, just buy shares and distribute them later, buy ten shares and get one catty free!"

"Your Highness is generous! It also saves everyone from fighting, and it is very reasonable to buy stocks...... However, after a little calculation, if it is consistently one catty, then in order to ensure profitability, wouldn't it be possible to produce at least tens of millions of catties every year?"

"That's a good question, in principle, if you build a workshop with 10 million yuan, it's enough to convert the jaggery sugar of the whole Great Song Dynasty into snow sugar, so the output of snow sugar actually depends on the raw material, that is, the output of sugarcane!"

Zhao Mengqi's face was calm at this time,

In fact, he smiled in his heart, and finally waited for this question, which led to what he was going to say next.

"Sugarcane likes warmth and light, and it just so happens that it can basically be planted in my Great Song Dynasty, but it is relatively scattered and has a large difference in quality, and in all aspects, it will definitely not be able to become a source of raw materials for large-scale sugar workshops, so we can't let the people grow sugarcane without growing grain."

"And sugarcane originates from Tianzhu, in fact, the more suitable for planting the south, now the most cane is produced on Fujian Road, and the quality is better, but Fujian has many mountains and few fields, which is not convenient for large-scale planting, and the mountains are rugged, and the traffic is difficult, which will inevitably increase the cost of transportation and other aspects."

"We should build a sugar factory, preferably with a stable and centralized supply of raw materials, convenient and low transportation, and be completely controlled by us, so that even if the sugar technology leaks in the future, we can still maintain a monopoly on the production of snow sugar."

The gentry nodded frequently, some people also have sugar mills at home, knowing that it takes more than ten catties of sugarcane to produce one catty of jabers, this snow sugar is so pure, how can it be enough to have thirty or fifty catties, if it is to produce ten million catties, then it will take thirty or fifty thousand catties.

If this is collected piecemeal, it will take the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon to make it up, how much will it be delayed, everyone is still waiting to make a fortune!

"Although I don't know how much jaberseed our Da Song produces every year, there shouldn't be 10 million catties, even if we buy all the jabers on the market, it's not enough, not to mention that in this way, the price of jabers will definitely rise, and snow sugar is not expensive for us, but ordinary people must not be able to afford it, we can't really buy all the jaggery sugar, so that most people can't eat sugar, and it won't taste good......" Zhou Jiufu looked compassionate.

Standing next to him was Zhou Xian, a local in Pingjiang, who originally followed Xie Tang to fight against King Yan, but lost half of his family fortune, and after receiving a painful lesson, he immediately learned to be obedient, and he was determined to follow King Yan's footsteps, and decided to take out half of his remaining net worth to buy the shares of this sugar company.

Although the shares have not been bought, Zhou Xian already regards himself as a shareholder of the sugar company and is very actively involved in the planning.

"Uncle Nine is reasonable, we are all saint disciples, we must not do this thing that harms the people, the so-called gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way, so let's find another way to find a source of raw materials, I believe that with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, there will be the best of both worlds."

The other gentry didn't agree to listen to him, but they couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Niang Xipi, I thought that you kid could say anything accomplished, but I didn't expect it to be just a sycophant.

Is it just that you can shoot? Lao Tzu will too!

"Your Highness is eloquent and wise, and you must have already planned your strategy, and I ask Your Highness to instruct me, and I can do everything as I can......

"Of course, too, we are all fools, even if we want to think about it for 10,000 years, it is not as good as Your Highness's inspiration, so why do you have to put so much effort into it, it is right to follow Your Highness's footsteps."

"This snow candy is such a magical thing that can be made for His Royal Highness, it really shocks Zaixia, and if you want to solve the problem of raw materials, Your Highness must also be in your chest......

In the midst of a sycophant, An Zaixu thought seriously, "The further south the better, not to compete for land with grain, to be able to establish a large-scale plantation, in this way, Qiongzhou Island seems to be possible, but even if you take the sea route, it is a bit too far, and after the Mongols conquered Dali, it is not too stable, so where else is it suitable?"

Qiongzhou Island is the Hainan Island of later generations, a treasure land, and it is also in Zhao Mengqi's development plan, but it is not the goal he wants to talk about today.

"Qiongzhou Island is indeed good, very suitable for growing sugarcane, but in addition to the shortcomings of the staff, it is that the population there is small, and it is too hot, even if the migrant population goes up, it is difficult to adapt to the local environment.

The gentry were curious, "Oh? I wonder what Your Highness is talking about?"

Soon, Zhao Mengqi had a huge map hung on the wall, and then pointed to a large island in the east of Fujian with a small stick, "Here!"

Where is this?

Most of the gentry were unfamiliar with what Zhao Mengqi was referring to.

"This island is located

Four hundred miles east of Quanzhou, it was called Daoyi in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yingzhou in Qin, Yizhou in Han, and Liuqiu in Sui, which has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times!"

"Former Prime Minister Zuo, Fujian pacification envoy Xie Gong wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he had sent someone to conduct a preliminary investigation of the island."

"The island is 800 miles long from north to south, 300 miles wide from east to west, the area is the same as Qiongzhou Island, its eastern part is mountainous, the towering mountains in the north-south direction are like barriers, blocking the bad storms from the sea, and the western terrain is flat and fertile, all of which can become high-grade arable land, and the preliminary estimate is that at least 10 million acres of fertile land can be cultivated!"

10 million acres!?

The gentry's eyes began to glow.

Zhao Mengqi continued, "The island has a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for our people in the Great Song Dynasty, and has abundant rainfall, dense rivers, and lush vegetation, which is very suitable for agriculture, whether it is the soil or the light climate, it is an excellent place to grow sugarcane, and the cultivation of rice can also be two crops and three crops a year, and even the mountainous areas are suitable for planting high-value crops such as tea and fruits.

This means that whoever occupies the land above first will own it!

The gentry's eyes had turned green.

"It's a terrible thing to abandon such a treasure land!"

"Ten million acres of fertile land, or three crops, how much grain must be grown! It's just another Suhu Lake."

"Plant, plant, what kind of food to plant, of course, to grow sugarcane, Wo Di Niang, when the time comes, don't say 100,000 catties, even 10 million catties is a trivial matter, make snow sugar, that is a hundred gold mountains."

In later generations, the area of sugarcane planted in the country was about 20 million mu, and the output of sugarcane was about 100 million tons, and 10 million catties was roughly converted into 50 million tons.

But Quanliu begs to only grow sugarcane, this kind of stupid thing Zhao Mengqi can't do.

More than 300 years later, when the Netherlands occupied Liuqiu, the sugar production was 450,000 catties, and the area they planted was less than 10,000 mu at that time.

That is to say, if you take out one-tenth of the cultivated land, that is, one million acres of sugarcane, there will be 50 million catties of sugar, which is almost one catty per person per year in the Great Song Dynasty......

In fact, there were more than one million tons of sugar production at the peak of the abortion, and Zhao Mengqi's goal was only 2 percent compared to this ratio, which was a really small goal.

"It's not necessary to grow all sugarcane, rice in paddy fields, cane in dry fields, and tea in mountains are all wealth! However, although this place is good, there are many wild people living on it, about four or five thousand years ago, drifting from the South Seas and then taking root."

"In the past, there were people in our Huaxia who immigrated up, the earliest may have been the Yue people in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then in the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan sent more than 10,000 people over, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also sent people there, a few years ago, the Shengfan on the island also tried to invade Quanzhou, and then I stationed troops on Pinghu Island, and that's all."

"I have tried to immigrate so many times, but the reason why I have not succeeded is because of the fierceness of life, and some of them are cannibals, and most of the Han people who went to the island before were buried in the belly of these savages......

Hearing this, the gentry's eyes were red with blood.
