The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Zhang Shize saw that this thing could make money, so he wanted to join forces with Yang Fan.
His thinking was purely yamen thinking. He could get the kerosene from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works at no cost and just give some benefits to the warehouse ambassador. It was simply a costless business.
But Yang Fan had something different in mind. This time, His Majesty designed him to offend the Honorable Group. Yang Fan wanted to give them some compensation. In any case, it is better to dissolve enemies than to end them, and it is always not good to hang around like this.
"If we want to do it, let's do it on a big scale. This oil refining and selling of lamp oil is a business with sales of millions of taels. How about we bring in all the noble people to work together? Do they believe that this industry can make a lot of money?" Yang Fan
asked.
Zhang Shize is the dandy son of a top noble family, and he understands the thoughts of these nobles best.
Zhang Shize thought about it seriously and said: "In the past few years since you came to Ming Dynasty, the businesses you have opened have made a lot of money. The nobles are very jealous, but you are His Majesty's, so they don't dare to come to you. What do you want to say?
This oil refining business can make a lot of money, they must believe it."
"I have an idea. It's pointless to do it on a small scale. If you secretly get it from the Ministry of Industry, it won't make a big difference. Besides, you've seen that the Ministry of Industry's inventory of several thousand cars only lasts for two months.
What to do when you’re done using it, close the door.”
Zhang Shize thought about it. This is not a long-term solution. Even if the Ministry of Industry is emptied, production will not be maintained for a long time. Oil must be exploited.
"If we do both oil production and refining, the investment will be very large. The main thing is oil well exploration. If we make a mistake, if oil does not come out, we will throw all the money into the water. The risk is very high. Therefore, we should do more
Let some people come and do it together." Yang Fan said.
Zhang Shize deeply agreed and nodded: "This business is run by our brothers. Normally, there is no need to share it with outsiders. The main purpose of bringing them here is to give them some sweetness and prevent them from hating us too much. This time His Majesty is rectifying the capital camp.
They have suffered a great loss. They were able to pocket a lot of the military pay from the Beijing camp, but now it is all gone. We let them take shares as some compensation."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "This time I am going to adopt a joint-stock system to raise funds. I am preparing to set up an exchange in the capital. I am going to issue stocks to the public, one silver dollar per share. The stocks will be in the form of bearers. First find the original shareholders and negotiate the equity distribution.
, establish a refinery, and then issue stocks on the exchange to raise funds.”
Seeing that Zhang Shize and the two ladies didn't understand much, Yang Fan explained in detail the concepts of joint-stock systems and limited companies, as well as their operation methods.
"This form is good. If the company loses money, it won't affect the family. It's just limited liability." Zhang Shize said. "How big are you planning to do?"
Yang Fan said: "I plan to initiate shareholders to invest a total of 200,000 silver dollars. They will account for 40% of the shares, and the remaining 300,000 silver dollars will be raised from the public. The management of the workshop will be based on the shareholder composition of the board of directors, which will elect the chief shopkeeper and shopkeepers at all levels.
, and then they form a workshop management committee. They hire associates, division managers, assistants, foremen and other management personnel at all levels. In short, they talk based on equity."
Zhang Shize said: "This matter is too big. I will go back and discuss it with my grandfather. You wait for my news."
"Okay, if the Zhang family wants to do it, I will reserve the subscription shares for you. Don't worry, if you want to win over Xungui, you will need your grandfather to come forward. We can't do it with our help. I guess if they are willing to do it, they will send the bastard in the family.
, the domestic slaves come forward to do it. They won’t get stuck on their own." Yang Fan said.
Zhang Shize rode away and went home to have a secret talk with his grandfather.
"Master, we are not short of money, why do we have so many honorable people to do it? When there are more people, there are more things to do. These people are not good people. They will make the workshop a mess. And we do not hold a controlling stake, and many important things have to be negotiated with
They discussed that they are not talented in business and they will be very angry when the time comes." Xiao Niangpi said.
Yang Fan said: "Petrochemical companies require extremely huge funds. They must raise funds from the society. This is the same as the railway. We have a great financial advantage and we have banks. No one can compete with us in financing. In the future, the oil refinery can
Through continuous allotment of shares, we can expand the size of the capital stock. We can use other trading companies and workshops to hold shares step by step, such as sub-trading companies and Sunzi Trading Co., so we can control a large amount of funds with less funds.
.There are many ways to control equity in a covert manner.”
Yang Fan is really not afraid of these people from the Ming Dynasty when he plays this game. All kinds of modern tricks are enough to kill them.
Hearing Yang Fan talk about the railway, Xiao Niangpi couldn't help but ask: "How is Chen Xi's train and locomotive doing? She spends money like water there, and I have a big book of appropriations here."
Yang Fan sighed and said: "I told her that train locomotives must use reciprocating steam engines. She didn't believe it. She insisted on using Newcomen steam engines. As a result, three prototypes of different designs were built, and they were able to move.
, but the power is insufficient and it can’t pull much, so it’s just fine for transporting people. Now she’s going back to the reciprocating steam engine.”
"Master, you don't care. You can't spoil her like this. All the money is thrown into the water." Xiao Niangpi complained. She is always in charge of all the family's properties and spends money everywhere. She must be careful with her budget.
"It's not a waste. At least we have worked on other subsystems of the train locomotive, and found many design and material problems. There is still great progress. The power issue can be gradually improved."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said: "I'm not going to wait for her. First, ship a ready-made steam train locomotive from America and build a trial railway. Let Chen Xi see what this thing is.
What's going on? Don't waste your time messing around."
Previously, Erluzi contacted Yang Fan on WeChat and told him that there was a narrow-gauge forest railway in the forest area in the northeast. There were five small locomotives for sale, with a gauge of 0.762 meters.
The train is well maintained and can still be used for a few years. The carriages are also complete. It was originally used for tourism in the forest area.
In the past two years, due to well-known reasons, the tourism industry has received a huge blow. They could no longer sustain it and decided to sell it.
Yang Fan had already agreed and asked the idiot to collect them all, including maintenance tools and accessories. If there were any drawings, he wanted them all. He also bought the rails and sleepers together.
Yang Fan also instructed Er Lengzi that if there are still retired steam engines, regardless of whether they can be run or not, they should be collected. Rails, sleepers and other related equipment and parts should also be purchased.
These old steam engine train locomotives can be used as a reference even if they cannot be repaired.
