Chapter 625: The Potential of the Hao Merchants
The paper used for 100 tons of banknotes is about 100 cubic meters. And Li Ke's underground warehouse, just the currency paper of 1 yuan banknote is stored 30,000 tons, aside from the 50 and 100 yuan banknote special paper can not be used, the remaining currency is enough for Datang to use a hundred years, it is estimated that it is more.
What's more, it is impossible for Li Ke to print all the 1 money, although the 1 banknote is definitely the most.
And the people of the people come into contact with 1 yuan banknote is definitely not much, ordinary people must use copper money, when these enterprises pay taxes, Datang's copper money will not be enough.
If it is only the copper coins circulated by ordinary people to count, it is estimated that several million guan will be enough at that time.
After all, if the people sell grain intensively, they may also get paper money such as 1 kan money in the future, and there is no problem with their use.
The only problem is that the money bank will have to keep up with the popularity at that time.
For the time being, it will be implemented on Lingnan Road, and it will not be a big problem, and the banknotes will be launched in a year.
After Li Ke told these gate valve families about the proportion of commercial tax collected, they discussed. Li Ke didn't bother these gate valve families, but let them discuss, these people all discussed with each other in a low voice for a long time, and then someone spoke: "Your Highness, we don't have any problems, we can pay this business tax, but Your Highness, this Dandan Kingdom, how is Your Highness going to sell it?" ”
What Li Ke said about commercial tax is already very clear, they can understand, and the proportion charged by Li Ke is indeed not high, it is regarded as one of the ten taxes on profits, and 3% of the business tax, the whole proportion is not high.
Another reason why they can accept it, and of course they can, is because of this business tax...... I'm afraid it's impossible to refuse.
Since His Royal Highness dares to bring it up here, it must have already been thought about, although their Lingnan Dao has just begun to be implemented, but in the future, His Majesty will definitely promote it throughout the country, and even the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty and Qiwang so many top gate valve families they can't fight, why are they, the local gate valve families in Lingnan?
Since you can't resist, of course you have to join in happily and leave a good impression on Your Highness first.
What's more, although they started to pay commercial taxes first, didn't they also enjoy the treatment of "buying the country" from His Highness first?!
"Sell? No, no, no, I don't sell, I give it away for free. Li Ke said with a smile.
Free delivery?! At this moment, all the gate valve families were in an uproar! There are such good things in the world?!
"I only have one request!" Li Ke ignored the shock in their eyes and continued.
"Your Highness, please speak." All eyes were on it.
"Datang will definitely station a fleet here at that time, this is to protect your safety, so the fleet will be stationed, and the fleet will replenish fresh water, food and other resources in these ports, these things must be provided to the fleet at cost price." Li Ke said with a calm face.
Cost price? What? Your Highness is still ready to pay?! My God, is there a better Highness in the world than Your Highness? No way! This...... Ay! Why isn't Your Highness the Crown Prince! How nice it would be if His Highness were the crown prince!
"That's going to be fine!" These merchants are not stupid at all, nonsense, the fleet is to protect their safety, and they are willing to provide supplies for free, not to mention the cost price?! What else is there to say, I must agree!
Li Ke smiled, the reason why it is the cost price is naturally that Li Ke wants to make rules. There are some things that cannot be opened, and even if all the merchants you buy the port donate an annual sum of money that is enough for these fleets to replenish fresh water and food, and even have a surplus, this money must be paid.
Rules are rules, and rules cannot be broken.
"Well, in addition to that, the whole Dandan country, oh no, in the future it will be called Lizhi Island." Li Ke thought about it, and simply named Changle's name, and he Li Ke had the final say.
"In the future, this Lizhi Island and Lizhi Port, your various gate valve families will allocate shares according to their respective investment amounts, and after the completion and expansion of the port in the future, I don't care how the hotels and restaurants on the port provide services to the coming ships, but the port itself must also charge berthing fees, management fees and other fees, these are your profits, but you can't charge indiscriminately."
"And the whole port will be regarded as a large trading house, and you will also have to pay commercial tax, and you will distribute your shares according to the shareholding system."
"Think about it, this place is the only way to trade in the future, that is, even after a thousand years, it is a necessary route for ships! So it's bound to be profitable! ”
"So in this port, Datang Royal Trust collects 49% of the shares, which is very reasonable, right?" Li Ke looked at them and said.
These businessmen did not hesitate at all, only four out of nine? Very reasonable! Very reasonable! They couldn't get excited, because His Highness didn't ask for money at all! Although they spent money to build the port, they could only get 50% of the shares when it was built.
But don't forget, this port was shot down by the Tang Navy and given to them for free! It's not that there's nothing, there's now the infrastructure and the lives of the locals, which can be considered to be given directly to them.
"Very reasonable, very reasonable!" The merchants nodded quickly.
"Well, that's fine. You can take out all the copper coins, gold and silver in your house, and prepare to go to Shanghai to buy ships! If you don't know how to build a port, you can hire someone from Yuelai Commercial Bank under my name, and they will set up a construction team, and they have professional talents! Oh yes, as for whether this harbor comptoir wants to increase its shares, then you can discuss it yourself, I don't care. Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes!" These clansmen and merchants of Lingnan Province have taken action.
Li Ke doesn't care how much money they have, in a word, they build, Li Ke is an investment, and when the time comes, you can directly take forty percent of the shares of the port. Give them enough autonomy, and believe in the ability of the gate valve family in this era, as long as they have sufficient motivation, the ability of these gate valve families to burst out, even if the future generations are estimated to be dumbfounded.
Li Ke's meeting was a great success, and after the meeting, the relevant content will be directly published in the Guangzhou edition of the Datang Weekly and announced to the outside world, and the relevant news will definitely be transmitted to other regions.
At that time, the Datang Weekly in Chang'an City will definitely announce this news.
As for whether other gate valve families will want to join in and get a piece of the pie, Li Ke feels that it is very difficult.
Don't look at them, they are all more powerful than these gate valve families, but when all the gate valve families in the entire Lingnan Road are iron and have common interests, it is impossible for others to join in.
