"Building a wharf is not a trivial matter. If taxes are to be used, the county governor will not agree. There will be resistance at all levels when reporting to the state. When all the joints are opened, I may have returned to my official position and returned home," Zheng Huan said.
It means that there is no money, and it is difficult to use the tax revenue from Juyang City to build the dock.
"What if the private gentry and merchants raise their own funds to build it? Who has the management rights of this wharf?" Ding Kui had already expected that Zheng Huan would cry for poverty.
"Of course it is a good thing for gentlemen and businessmen to donate funds," Zheng Huan deliberately changed "raising funds" to "donating funds." "Building the wharf requires the use of state land, and the power of management naturally lies with the local government."
"It's your uncle's. I paid for the construction and you take care of it. What's the difference between this and robbery?" Ding Kui was very contemptuous in his heart, but he said: "It is impossible for gentlemen and businessmen to donate such a huge sum of money in vain.
No one can afford it, and in the end they will think that they need to get some benefits so that those who pay can recover their costs, so that everyone can be motivated."
"What benefits does Captain Ding think can attract gentry and businessmen?" Zheng Huan is not a person who only gets in and out. He can accept paying a price in exchange for political achievements.
"First you need to approve a piece of land for the wharf and rent it to the investor of the new wharf at a nominal price in exchange for 30% of the management rights of the new wharf. The safety of the wharf will be maintained by the investor's self-built security team, and the first brigade will send people
Supervision in exchange for 10% of the management rights; 60% of the management rights of the new terminal belong to the investor, and the operating income of the new terminal will be distributed in accordance with the proportion of management rights." Ding Kui proposed a plan.
"The City Lord's Mansion only accounts for 30%, isn't it too little?" Zheng Huan said in an official tone.
"If the city lord's palace funds the construction, it can take 100% of it." Ding Kui couldn't help but tease Zheng Huan. He wanted to eat more and take more even if he couldn't make any money.
If the cargo volume at Juyangcheng Terminal remains the same as before, 30% of the terminal's operating income is not as good as charging high land rents, but it is obvious that the cargo volume is much higher than before, and 30% of the revenue is much more than the rent.
.
"Haha," Zheng Huan laughed dryly. He still had to give the Prince Consort face, "Let me go back and think about it carefully. I will take things that can benefit the people and prosper the country seriously."
The subtext is, just give me a step down, and I will agree to it after I go back and act cool for a few days.
"Yes, great things can be done by working together. Sir, you might as well ask more people to ask." Ding Kui couldn't force Zheng Huan, he had to save some face for the local officials.
Building the dock required the consent of the local chief executive, but Zheng Huan refused, so Ding Kui could only secretly build it and use it secretly. Like the dock at the Yongsheng base, it had no effect on the commercial development of Juyang City.
For such a big matter, the agents of both parties could not discuss it privately. Ding Kui needed to talk to Zheng Huan in person, which led to the scene on the dock today.
The two sides basically reached a consensus, and the next step was to operate the process on the scene. The city government held a heated discussion on the construction of the dock, and many staff members proposed to adopt Ding Kui's plan. Finally, after Zheng Huan carefully considered it, he decided to listen to the opinions of the majority of people.
"I am willing to come forward to raise funds to build a dock. It is so difficult. If the military does this, it will not be able to recover the lost ground in another ten years." Ding Kui believed that the construction of a new dock should have started half a month ago.
"Haha, civilian officials do things completely different from the military. The more complicated they make things, the smaller the chance of getting into trouble for that matter in the future. It's good for those who join the military to have one military exploit to show off in their lifetime, but no matter what civilian officials do, it doesn't matter if they do it right
You may lose your official position due to one mistake in any number of things, and you may be infamed for the rest of your life. You will have many opportunities to deal with civil servants in the future, just get used to it."
Liu Yu was a civil servant in the army, and his stance and perspective on this matter were relatively objective, and he did not forget to instill correct views into Ding Kui.
The most active response to the construction of the new wharf is the Lushi Chamber of Commerce and the Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Their cargo ships can occupy one wharf. There is a wharf expense for whichever wharf is docked. If the construction cost of the new wharf can be divided equally, they can at least
Saving 30% of terminal expenses is a very cost-effective deal in the long run.
The person who came forward to raise funds was the old money man, and the person in charge of negotiating with all parties was Liu Yu. It was impossible for these two people to divide the big cake of the new terminal only to the Lu Chamber of Commerce and the Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but to the mainland.
The gentry and merchants of all countries are open to solicitation.
Once the news spread, people who responded to the fundraiser were like crucian carp crossing the river. Even the threshold of the headquarters of the chilled food store was trampled three times. Let alone building one pier, even if there were ten piers, the quota was not enough.
In the end, Liu Yu chose the Chilled Food Store, Kong Chamber of Commerce, Diangu Chamber of Commerce, Lu Chamber of Commerce, Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Xijing Alliance and South-South Chamber of Commerce Alliance, a total of seven companies to equally share the investment share of the new terminal.
Everyone knows the backgrounds of these four companies: the Chilled Food Store, the Kong Chamber of Commerce, the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and the Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but the backgrounds of the other three companies are not small.
Behind the Diangu Chamber of Commerce stands Shao Dianxi, behind the Xijing Alliance it is said that the nobles of Jiguo and Cao have joined forces, and the South-South Chamber of Commerce Alliance is an alliance of chambers of commerce in Nanqiu County and some other counties in Nanma Prefecture.
After listening to Liu Yu's report, Ding Kui asked in surprise: "How did you get out so many people in just a few days?"
"With Zheng Huan here, even if we don't tell, the Kong family will definitely get the news; in the same way, the news in Nanzhao State cannot be hidden from Master Zhou Mu; people in Jiguo and Caoguo have been keeping an eye on this place since the Chinese New Year, and since they
It can be seen from the reaction rate that the level is not low; there are people from other companies who have been waiting in Juyang City for a long time." Liu Yu counted on Ding Kui with his fingers.
"The 30% that Zheng Huan took was for the king, and the 10% that the First Brigade took was for the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. So the Ding family still doesn't get 10%." Ding Kui realized that he had lost money.
"We cannot simply look at the surface of this matter. The Ding family is the biggest beneficiary of this matter.
For example, Huaxia Carriage and Horse Racing Co., on the surface, has nothing to do with the new terminal, but who will transport the goods unloaded from the new terminal? Most of them are not handed over to Huaxia Carriage and Horse Co., Ltd.
If you become the lord of Juyang City in the future, the three achievements given to the king will be transferred to your name, and you only need to withdraw 10% or 20% from them and hand them over to the national treasury.
When goods come, people will follow, and when people come, consumption will occur, and other local industries will be prosperous. In the end, the city lord will benefit. This is your theory."
Liu Yu didn't care whether Ding Kui was pretending to be confused or not. He should explain clearly before talking. He couldn't take the blame for not caring about the interests of the Ding family.
"If others see things as clearly as you do, how can I hide my clumsiness?" Ding Kui could no longer pretend.
"Haha, you can't hide in front of us." The old money man couldn't stand it.
Liu Yu, Fei Ze and others all laughed.
"Well, the new wharf is confirmed to be built, and then the Ding's Ship Repair Factory can be officially established." Ding Kui wanted to bring the shipbuilding craftsmen into the family name, officially announcing that the Ding family has entered the field of shipbuilding.
"Since it's called the Ding family, someone from the Ding family should come forward, but I still have to take care of the frozen food store." Old Qiantou was not mentally prepared.
Ding Kui made this decision by himself without consulting anyone.
"The war is actually over. There is no need to keep so many personal guards around me. Ding Cai should go and manage the ship repair shop."
Ding Kui, the head of important industries, must appoint his cronies.
Ding Cai, who was bored by the side, suddenly stirred up his spirit and called out his name in Ding Kui's mouth. Even if he was asleep, he could react, "I'm here, and even if I am shattered to pieces, I will definitely watch over you. Watch over."
That, what kind of factory is that?"
"Ding's Ship Repair Shop." Ding Kui flew up and hit Ding Cai in the butt.
"Yes, yes, Ding's Ship Repair Shop, Ding's Ship Repair Shop, Ding's Ship Repair Shop." Ding Cai often heard Ding Kui say, "Repeat important things three times."
"I asked you to be the one in charge. I didn't ask you to die. If you don't understand, please ask Mr. Liu and Mr. Fei. It's no use breaking your body to pieces." Ding Kui taught others that they were not afraid of being so cruel to Ding Cai.
Ding Cai liked this tone, and when Ding Kui spoke to him in a nice voice, he would be afraid.
"What about my subordinates?" Tao Mu said it was a lie that he was not jealous of Ding Cai, and he was extremely jealous in his heart.
"Strong people have to bear heavier responsibilities, do you dare?" Ding Kui would occasionally use provocation.
"Why don't you dare! I am willing to go through fire and water." Tao Mu straightened his back and said.
"Well, you are worthy of being a boss. You haven't forgotten the grudge between Cao Guo and you, right?"
Ding Kui's question pierced Tao Mu's heart. His eye circles instantly turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forget it in this life."
"I hope you go to Cao State and organize an informant there. Grandpa Qian will arrange for people to assist you. However, it is very dangerous abroad. If you make the wrong decision, you may lose your life. You can think about it and don't agree so quickly.
I."
"I am willing to die for you." Tao Mu knelt down on one knee and asked Ding Kui for his life.
Ding Kui turned to look at Lao Qiantou, who nodded.
"Okay, that's it. Grandpa Qian will teach you how to do it later." Ding Kui pulled Tao Mu up.
"What about me? What about me? What about me?" Ding Fen couldn't sit still at this time.
Ding Kui slapped Ding Fen on the top of his head and said, "How can I be without you by my side?"
Ding Fen looked excited and tried hard to hold her head up, "Yes, it turns out that little flower is so important."
"That is, even if you are gone, do you want your brother Yu to bring me tea and water?"
After hearing this, Ding Fen's face turned bitter at first, but within a moment she curled up her lips again, "That's not bad, Sister Yugui and Sister Biya will be vying to pour you tea."
"Cough, cough." After hearing this, everyone turned their faces and quickly picked up a cup of tea before pretending to drink it.
What Ding Fen said was a secret matter in Ding Kui's inner house. Even Ding Cai was afraid to avoid it, let alone others.
"You, well, all the flowers and plants in the yard can't live without you. Our little flowers are very useful. I was just joking with you." Ding Kui sometimes really couldn't deal with Ding Fen.
