Chapter 52 Business Alliances
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there were still many nobles thinking about what they had just seen, Xia Lin led the group to the temporary conference room in the industrial park, although it was simple, but after using the shimmer and frost rune disks in it, it would not be too stuffy.
"Please be seated, everyone! I don't know much about the specific format of this board of directors convened by Sir Charlin, so I will invite Sir Charlin to preside over the meeting! Sir Charlin, please sit down next to me! ”
Her Royal Highness looked around and soon found her place on the short side of the long table, with Viscount Hart to her left and Count Cullen on the second side.
Xia Lin originally wanted to sit in the middle of the seat in a low-key manner, but was invited by Princess Dorothea to sit on her right.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your trust! Dear shareholders, there are three items to discuss at our Board Meeting today.
The first is the naming of the industrial park, as a key point to guide the construction of slums into new areas in the future, it is a bit too simple to call the industrial park an industrial park.
The second is the division of shares in the industrial park, which involves the dividends and follow-up arrangements of the current profits of the industrial park.
The third is to establish the form of the board of directors, which involves the power to supervise financial power.
There are two other things, one of which is that I propose the formation of a business alliance within our Enlightened Sect in order to strengthen the ties between the members.
The second is my personal affairs, I will set up the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, to be responsible for all the industries under my name, and the management of the industrial park in the future will also be implemented through the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and the head of the Chamber of Commerce is my retinue Wyath Jais.
This matter needs to be informed to your major shareholders, and I hope you will take more care of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce in cooperation in the future.
Now we can move on to the first topic, which is the naming of industrial parks. ”
"Naming? It's better to call it Xinglan Industrial Park! ”
Hearing Xia Lin's first question, Queen Dorothea suggested with a smile on her face. The naming style is similar to the Star Blue Flower Magic Society she founded.
"That's a good name, so be it!"
"Indeed, Her Royal Highness the title is very good!"
For Her Royal Highness's proposal, everyone will naturally not object, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of name, just listen to Her Royal Highness.
The second issue of staking is where the vital interests of these nobles lie, and it is also the issue they are most concerned about.
"After that, this is the Xinglan Industrial Park, and later I will ask Her Royal Highness to write an inscription for the industrial park. Next, the second topic is the clearing of shares.
There are a total of seven factories in the industrial park, and I occupy 25% of the shares of all factories with technology investment, and Her Royal Highness occupies 25% of all factories with an investment of 500 gold lunt in the early stage.
The remaining factory equity deeds have been sorted out, Wyatt, and those equity certificates will be sent to the major shareholders. ”
Xia Lin has an undeniable taste for the naming of Her Royal Highness, but his mentality is the same as that of all the great nobles, and he can't oppose Her Royal Highness in this kind of matter.
After finishing the first topic and familiarizing everyone with the atmosphere and process of the board of directors, Xia Lin beckoned Wyatt behind him to present the pre-sorted proof of equity.
Due to the call of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, the subsequent aristocrats who joined the investment far exceeded Xia Lin's estimates, and the equity of the seven factories in the industrial park has changed considerably.
Her Royal Highness and the 25% stake supported by Her Royal Highness as the proposer and executor of the plan are easy to say, but Ellen's 20% stake is not satisfied.
After all, many of the major shareholders present are much stronger than the Greg family, and in the aristocratic game of big fish eating small fish, even if the Greg family occupies the initiative and name, they can only obediently spit out what they eat in their mouths.
"Hmm...... There is no problem with the Greg family. ”
First of all, Ellen Greg expressed his approval, and in this equity distribution, he had communicated with Her Royal Highness and Xia Lin in advance.
Although the Greg family gave up a lot of equity, they also got other benefits, and simply watched the shares of the factories that his family got shrink a lot and complied with this distribution.
"I have a question, Your Royal Highness, is Sir Charlin, as an ordinary one-ring mage, really worthy of this 25% stake?
Even if these technologies are all taken out by him, and these factories are all established by him, 25% is too much, and even Her Royal Highness is only 25% of the shares! ”
As soon as Ellen's words fell, a Stalinist bearded viscount questioned.
Even if Xia Lin took out so many things and built an industrial park with his own hands, in the eyes of these nobles, that was not a reason for him to be on an equal footing with Her Royal Highness.
In addition to this, let Xia Lin, the weakest of the people, spit out more meat, and they can also wait for the opportunity to get more, which is the common interest of the great nobles.
In the past, the great nobles could follow the distribution of the princess without care, because they did not understand the benefits that the industrial park could bring, but after visiting in person, they naturally attached great importance to the industrial park, a hen that can only lay golden eggs.
Therefore, even if the princess Dorothea had expressed her importance to Xia Lin without concealing it before, the great nobles had to weigh the exact weight of Xia Lin in the heart of the princess.
"Viscount Monroe Elvi, Sir Charling's wisdom is worthy of all that he has received, and this is my answer."
However, Her Royal Highness obviously attached much more importance to Xia Lin than they imagined, and did not hesitate to act as Xia Lin's backing in the face of this question.
"It is my pleasure to receive your appreciation, Your Highness!"
In fact, Xia Lin had already expected the scene of the nobles staring at the equity in their hands after the visit, and after thanking Her Royal Highness for her support and trust in her again, she continued:
"It seems that a lot of shareholders are a little unhappy with me getting so many shares, and I have a plan here that may satisfy everyone, and that is another thing that I am going to discuss today: business alliances."
"The meaning of a business alliance is very simple, it is an industrial consortium formed based on common interests, in which members obtain the raw materials, technologies and services they need from the alliance through mutual exchange.
For example, if a textile mill in an industrial park needs spinning yarn as a raw material for weaving, we will buy it from the member chambers of commerce in the business alliance, and the woven fabric will be sold to the members who need it at a price slightly higher than the cost price.
The benefits of this are numerous.
First, the business alliance can overall, regulate the development of the various industries involved in the alliance members, so that everyone can sell what they produce, and they can also buy what they want, so as to ensure everyone's basic survival.
Second, it will give us enough power to compete with the various industry guilds in the imperial capital, so as to obtain a part of the pricing power and standard-setting power in the market.
Through this power, we can regulate the market, so that we can grasp the changes in the means of production in society and respond appropriately to them, making profits or reducing losses.
Third, we can enhance our overall competitiveness.
For example, if someone's cotton cloth is sold for three silver mar, we can raise the price of spinning through the Greg Chamber of Commerce, and the textile mill will suppress the price of cotton cloth to lower the profit margin of cotton cloth, defeat competitors, and then restore the original price, so as to get a larger market share.
Fourth, technological progress can be promoted, with business alliances, we can exchange various technologies with each other, and when the unique technology is used, we can pay a patent fee to the developer, and stipulate the patent term of these technologies within the alliance.
For example, the shuttle textile machine used in the textile factory in Xinglan Industrial Park can be included in this list of technology sharing.
In this way, the enthusiasm for research and development of new technologies within the business alliance can be promoted, which can create more existences such as the seven factories in the industrial park to serve the overall interests of our whole.
Through this alliance, the cost of materials in the industrial park will be reduced, the overall profit will be increased, and everyone's respective chambers of commerce will also be able to obtain an additional profit from the development of the industrial park. ”
