Section 94 Solomon's Idea (I)
"Have you ever heard of a new type of business organization that has been popular lately, called a joint-stock company?" said Solomon.
"What is the difference between a joint-stock company and your Terran caravans?" the dwarven elders had a blank look on their faces, they may be experts in forging, but in business, they are just blank slates, and what they know is that Terran caravans that may venture into their territory and trade with them.
"The caravan is simply buying and selling, while the joint-stock company is where everyone takes a part of their assets out as capital and unites to make money. Solomon tried to speak in plain language that people could understand.
"Co-op company? I seem to have heard one of my disciples say it. The female mage said thoughtfully, but she also lacked understanding of new things in business, and said impatiently: "Explain it quickly." β
"The reason why I chose this form is because Elder Borok just now felt that it was unfair. Solomon was confident.
"If we form a consortium called a company in this way, we can count our initial investments as shares, and each company will have a different share, so it will have a different voice, and then when it comes to big things, the minority will obey the majority. β
Cecilia said suspiciously: "Doesn't that mean that those with few shares must listen to those with more shares?"
Solomon smiled: "In principle, of course, this is the case, if you feel that you have less right to speak, and the company does not develop according to your ideas, you can propose to increase shares, but you must increase your investment while increasing your shares, and the value of your investment must be recognized by several other shareholders before it can become an increase in shares." This is because when the investment is realized, the shares of other shareholders will be diluted and reduced, unless they also increase the investment to maintain the shareholding. β
After understanding a little bit, a smile appeared on Borok's face, and he hurriedly said: "You mean to say that if in this company, we dwarves take out our own research, and if we accidentally pass the shares that Cecilia should get by arranging the teleportation magic array, then that part can be regarded as an increase in shares?"
"Yes, in the initial stage, I can take out the black rock for free as the asset of my company, accounting for three to forty percent of the shares, and Teacher Cecilia uses the arrangement and maintenance technology of the teleportation magic array as the asset of the shares, she accounts for two percent, if she is willing to provide even the materials for the arrangement, then she will account for thirty percent, and the rest depends on the dwarves, you are responsible for casting for the company, and you also need to take out some of the previous research to share, so as to speed up the degree of magic research. If the dwarves think that they have suffered a loss and take out too many things, they can be evaluated by Teacher Cecilia, or everyone can ask other ** masters of the Magicians Guild to evaluate whether its value is over a teleportation magic array, if it passes, it will be regarded as the dwarves have increased their investment, and they can increase their shares and reduce their shares with Teacher Cecilia. β
"Sounds fair. Borok nodded.
Cecilia's face was slightly ugly, "You mean that if the dwarven old ghost takes out too many things, and he thinks it's not worth it, my stake may change from twenty percent to one, or even less?"
Solomon nodded and said: "Yes, if you think this is not cost-effective, teacher, you can choose to withdraw the shares and sell the remaining value to us, such as the teleportation magic array that has been built at that time, but half of your shares are invested in the maintenance of the magic array, so if you want to withdraw the shares at that time, only the magic array can be sold to us, and the maintenance will be up to us to find someone else." Or when the time comes, you feel that the company is very promising, and you are not willing to reduce your shares, you have to increase your investment, such as handing over your alchemy formula to the company, and everyone will evaluate it fairly and increase your shares. β
"It's fair, it's fair!" said Borok.
Cecilia hesitated, she was very interested in the magic guide so she decided to insert it, the original intention was to build a small and medium-sized teleportation magic array for Solomon and them, so that they could share the benefits, and by the way, they could also get the magic guide research materials from the dwarf clan in the process.
In this case, she actually paid very little, but although the dwarf was stupid, Borok was not stupid, so he didn't do it just now.
Solomon is proposing this method now, although it sounds like it is possible to pull her into the water from behind, and sink deeper and deeper, but on the surface, it is quite fair, and if the magic research conducted by this consortium is really successful, Cecilia does not mind being dragged deeper, because there is no lunch in the world that is always eaten for nothing, and when the time comes, the deeper the water, there will be a chance to participate in the magic research all the time.
Of course, she still had doubts, "What about you?"
She was talking about Solomon, and Solomon said with a very calm look: "As I just said, I will provide you with the black rock you need for your research free of charge, and it is provided in quantity, and the part of the amount will be sold to the dwarven clan in the name of the company as the company's assets, of course, Elder Borok can rest assured, it will be a very cheap price." β
"And the income from the sale to the dwarves belongs to the company, so it will be distributed according to the company's shares, which means that if you invest more, Elder Borok, the more this part will actually go back to your pocket, and similarly, if we want to get more from this, Teacher Cecilia and I should invest more. β
After a pause, Solomon kept saying, " I might as well tell you honestly that this kind of black rock is not difficult to dig in my territory, and it is not only the black rock that I actually invest in, but also the fact that I am the only one who can provide black rock, maybe you don't know, this bad plane is because I was put there in the first place, but I also became the only person in the kingdom who admits that I have the right to open up the lower plane, which means that if I don't provide it, no one in the kingdom is qualified to provide it, unless it is someone from another country who despises the majesty of the kingdom and goes to war to fight for this plane with meγ β
"That's it, it's decided!" Borok heard that the way to solve the problem of the dwarves acquiring this black rock had already decided, because this was the lowest limit for him to come over, even if the magic guide plan failed, if he could continue to buy this black rock, he would be able to help the dwarves solve part of the power source of the machine.
"This is just a preliminary plan, if the cooperation is pleasant, the dwarven casts, the alchemy works of Teacher Cecilia, and I have also set up an alchemy workshop with others, and we can join forces in the future and put it under the name of this company. Solomon said.
"That's too long, I'll talk about it later, but I think it's fair what you said just now. The Dwarven Elder looked at Cecilia.
Cecilia gritted her teeth, thinking that she would definitely not suffer at the beginning anyway, that is, to help arrange a teleportation magic array, although it was troublesome, but it was still difficult for herself, even if she had to pay some materials, as long as Heiyan could really activate the magic guide plan, it would be absolutely worth it.
Bojoc and Cecilia finally agreed to Solomon's form, and would register with the Asturias Treasury Office.
Registration is definitely a new term for the dwarves, and Solomon had to explain it to the dwarven elders again, and tell him by the way, so that it would be more just, because it would be equivalent to Asturian witnessing in the name of the state.
In short, the three of them are basically satisfied, and each has its own gains.
Cecilia thinks she can give nothing or a very small amount of actual things (she is still hesitant to take some of the materials needed to teleport the magic circle, so as to increase her stake in the company to 30% instead of 20%).
The dwarven elders are also very happy, the establishment of this company, at the very least, can allow the dwarves to have a way to get this kind of power fuel substitute Black Rock, and can even start the magic guide plan, continue to research, and finally realize the dwarves' dreams, and at the same time enhance the strength of the dwarves.
In addition, Bojok has no objection to making any notes, according to Solomon, if Asturias agrees to the dwarves to hold shares in this company, then the dwarves can appear in Asturias in the name of the word, instead of being as sneaky and fearful as they are now.
Of course, it was up to Solomon to convince the royal family of Asturias and the Treasury Department.
But in fact, this matter is not difficult at all, in the big picture, because Asturias is now mired in war, Edward acquiesced to Solomon's formation of the Foreign Legion, but the means did not dare to compliment, and only gave Solomon a letter of appointment.
But it also shows that Asturias will not refuse anything that is harmless and helpful to him in this difficult situation, even if it is from another race.
And this one, named after Solomon, is tentatively called Solomon Kai Joint Stock Company, at least one thing that will satisfy Regina and pay taxes.
Although it was possible to avoid the delivery of the goods to the dwarves at that time, Solomon did not intend to evade taxes.
The reason is very simple, in the cooperation of the three families, Solomon's power is actually the weakest now, and paying taxes to Asturias means that Asturias recognizes the company's existence, and Solomon can take advantage of the situation to maintain the structure just mentioned, otherwise if the dwarves have a bad heart and directly invade the Black Rock Plane, Solomon will not be able to stop it.
Solomon's contribution is actually not much, and it can even be said that he has nothing to give, he wants to provide a large amount of black rock, but the problem is that this thing is very much in the black rock plane.
If you don't use it, no amount of black rock will be useless, and it will not be safe to even use it for construction.
Moreover, Solomon brought the dwarves in, and there was another intention, in the next negotiations with Sidiparker or Winston, he could borrow the tiger skin of the dwarves, so that they thought that they were not the only option to hire orcs.
ps, there was something last time in the evening, and I came back late.
