Xu Guangzuo frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Yanling, I believe in you, I will pledge 20% of the shares, and I will provide the Duke's mansion with 20,000 acres of high-grade fertile land, plus 30,000 acres of medium-grade land, which should be enough."
Xu Yande was about to speak, but Xu Guangzuo stopped him with his eyes. In fact, these properties only accounted for less than 30% of all the manor properties owned by the Dingguo Palace. For the Dingguo Palace, it was a thorn in the side.
Xu Guangzuo understood that at today's banquet, he obviously couldn't pretend to be stupid. Although he didn't think it was necessary to do what his son-in-law wanted to do, since he did it, Duke Dingguo's government would stand with him.
Be together and give support.
As for his son Xu Yande, he may be focusing on the immediate losses, which is short-sighted behavior and should be ignored.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Father-in-law, there are only two shares here. I advise you to claim more. Duke Dingguo's mansion owns more than 100,000 acres of land, so you should take out more."
Xu Yande frowned and said: "Brother-in-law, don't be dissatisfied. Our Dingguo Palace is not as wealthy as you said. From now on, will the whole family drink from the northwest wind? You have to think about us too."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Brother, let me say it again, this is an opportunity to make a fortune, not to force you to bleed. If you don't believe it, it's up to you. And this is the only opportunity to claim it. In the future, if you want to buy shares, it will be absolutely impossible.
It’s possible.”
Xu Yande rolled his eyes at him and said: "We don't want to invest in shares, so..."
"Yande, shut up." Xu Guangzuo stopped in a deep voice, looked at Zhang Yanling and said: "Yanling, in this case, I will add 20,000 acres of fertile land and buy one more share."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "My father-in-law is still very generous. Although it is still not up to my expectations, it is already very good. The Duke of Dingguo claimed three shares with 40,000 acres of good land and 30,000 acres of medium land, a total of 70,000 acres. It's very good."
Okay, thank you father-in-law."
Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, said: "If I can't make any money, I will go to your house and ask you to support me."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "I am half of your son. It is my duty to provide for you in old age. I will do it whether I make money or not. But don't worry, can I still cheat you?"
Xu Yande said: "You'd better not cheat your own people."
Zhang Yanling smiled and looked at Zhang Lun.
Zhang Lun said in a deep voice: "Forty thousand acres of high-quality paddy fields, two shares. Isn't that too little?"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Brother Zhang Lun was so happy that he made a note of it. Forty thousand acres of high-quality paddy fields should be invested in two shares. Three, three, two, this is eight shares, and there are not many left. Brother Zhu Lin, you also
You have to admit, this is mandatory for you, and I don’t want you to not benefit from it in the future.”
Zhu Lin said: "Our family is not as good as Zhang Lun and your Duke Dingguo, but I make the decision and I want all the remaining two shares. If others don't believe it, how can I not believe in Yanling? When has he ever cheated me?"
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Hahaha, okay, that's enough. I have three shares, the Dingguo Palace has three shares, the British Palace has two shares, and the Chengguo Palace has two shares. It just happens that they are all divided up. Other princes, how about that?"
Stop, your shares are gone."
The other princes breathed a long sigh of relief and were secretly happy. But there was a look of regret on their faces.
"Oh, I was planning to buy a share, but I didn't know that several princes and young princes were so enthusiastic about it, so I had to give it up. What a pity."
"Yes, if the Lord Protector wants to do something, we should fully support him. I have no choice but to help, but I can't help. I have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land at home, so I can certainly use it."
Xu Yande felt angry when he heard this, and sneered: "The princes are so sorry, why don't I give you a share."
"No, no, no, that's not necessary. How dare you take away someone's beauty?" Several princes waved their hands hurriedly.
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said in a deep voice: "Well, today's meeting has completely met my expectations. Yanling would like to express her gratitude. After all, we are still our own people. This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, you also trust me so much."
, making Yanling feel grateful. I announce that from now on, Daming Overseas Trade Development Company will be officially established. Five shareholders, the British government
, Dingguo Gongfu, Chengguo Gongfu, as well as my Protectorate Gongfu and my brother Changshouning Gongfu. They will formulate articles of association and select the owner. Every tael of silver earned in the future will be distributed according to equity.
Children and old men are innocent. However, I have to ask everyone to go home and get the land deeds later. I have to collect the land deeds for hundreds of thousands of acres and hand them over to the emperor to fulfill my promise."
Everyone couldn't tell whether they were happy or frustrated. After drinking so much real estate in one meal, the wine entered their throats and the taste became much bitter. However, they still believed in their hearts that Zhang Yanling would not deceive them. Rabbits do not eat the edges of their nests.
Damn it, if he wants to trick people, he won't trick these princes' offices as well, unless he doesn't want to see people anymore.
After continuing to drink a few glasses of wine, Zhang Yanling ordered someone to bring pen and ink on the spot and write down the articles of association of the company. Everyone signed the articles of association to confirm that the Daming Sea Trade Development Company was officially established.
Several marquises were in a very happy mood, applauding and congratulating each other, and laughing happily. They were all happy that they had escaped the fraud of the Protector today. They did not have to pay half a penny, and they did not offend Zhang Yanling. It was really
Kill two birds with one stone.
They didn't believe that Zhang Yanling, a trading firm like this, could make a lot of money. When they heard Zhang Yanling frothing at the mouth and said that he was about to set off to inspect several shipyards and start building large ships to prepare for going to sea, they felt that Zhang Yanling was crazy.
Zhang Yanling's plan is to build ten sea-going ships. He said that they will be bigger than the treasure ships used by the Three Treasure Eunuchs to go to sea. How much money will it cost? It costs tens of thousands of taels of silver to build one ship. What kind of trading company is this?
Without making any money, they first burned hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and then burned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. They had never seen such a method of making money.
In the view of these nobles of the Ming Dynasty, profit without capital is the way to make money. With such a huge investment, making money is far away.
At this point, Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and others had no choice but to let Zhang Yanling deal with it. Zhang Lun asked Xu Guangzuo to be the big boss of the Ming Dynasty Maritime Trading Company, but Xu Guangzuo flatly refused. He didn't care about this big boss. Zhang Yanling should let Zhang Yanling handle this matter.
Do it yourself to avoid being blamed by everyone if something goes wrong in the future.
Zhang Yanling did his part and appointed himself as the boss. The other companies signed authorization letters and left Zhang Yanling to deal with the matter.
After the banquet was over, Zhang Yanling was in a very happy mood. She hummed a ditty and went to Zhengnanfang to visit Zhu Qingyi. At Zhu Qingyi's residence, she told her about the situation just now, and Zhu Qingyi laughed so hard that her branches trembled.
"You did this on purpose. It's rare that they all believe in you. However, I guess they just believe in you. They can treat these fields as nothing in exchange for a harmonious relationship with you, rather than making money."
.How can you do things like this? What is the difference between this and a robbery?"
Zhang Yanling winked and said: "If I didn't do this, there would be no such effect. Those princes thought that I was harming them and wanted to get their property. As everyone knows, I saw through their thieves' mentality, so I deliberately said nonsense.
, that is, let them take the initiative to retreat when faced with difficulties. In this way, they will not be able to blame me."
Zhu Qingyi smiled and said: "What do you mean by Xun Qi's family? It's unreasonable for you to dump them now. If they want to join in the future, will you reject them?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Now it is 20,000 acres per share. If you join in the future, you will have to increase the amount. Don't worry, there will be times when they cry and beg me. At that time, I will dilute the equity and double the price, and they will still
You have to follow them in. It’s okay to lead them to make money, but once the business channel is opened and the initial financial resources are rolling in, they can’t even think about this money.”
Zhu Qingyi said angrily: "You are really bad."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Men are not bad, but women do not love them."
Zhu Qingyi sighed and gave Zhang Yanling a roll of her eyes. "Then you don't think about your own people? Why don't you let me become a shareholder in such a good thing? It shows that you don't care about me."
Zhang Yanling hugged Zhu Qingyi, kissed her on the red lips, and said with a smile: "Don't you have any business acumen? You are the first person to know. If I were you, I would quickly build a sea ship, establish a trading company, and carve up this business together.
pot of gold.one
Once the market is formed, there will be many commercial banks and competition will be fierce. Monopoly is the only way to make huge profits, you understand? You are inconvenient, so let the people below get ready. When the time comes, money will flow to your Prince Qing's palace, just wait and count.
Just silver."
Zhu Qingyi smiled and said: "It sounds like a joke, is it that easy? Besides, you still have to open up business channels, for fear that you will have to fight with the Franco people. But you have to be careful. Don't steal the chicken but lose it.
Mi, it will not end well by then."
Zhang Yanling laughed and felt a little more awake. Zhu Qingyi's reminder was very timely. Sweeping all obstacles in the way and clearing the obstacles on the sea road were the prerequisite for everything.
