Li Mu deliberately ignored the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River because there was no good business. Instead of discussing everything with them, it only highlighted their importance. What's more, there was no need for them in this matter.
Li Mu picked up the application form registered yesterday and took a look at it. Most of them had been returned. The only few that had not been returned were all small business operations. Li Mu looked through it and took out a
He said: "You two, follow the procedures and go to the door to check and calculate how much money he can raise. At the same time, let the wind go. In order to speed up the construction of Mingzhou Port, the imperial court encourages the private sector to participate in subcontracting. As long as they are craftsmen with good skills,
Anyone who can meet the project requirements can come to discuss subcontracting and receive preferential treatment. Those who do well can sign a long-term contract with the Ministry of Industry. This is not limited to the construction of Mingzhou Port. In the future, other imperial projects will also be subcontracted.
Give it to them."
Seeing that the two of them were still a little confused, Li Mu glared at him and said, "Why don't you go quickly?"
"Oh..." Li Tai and Qin Huaidao hurriedly picked up their things and went out before they had time to ask why.
Li Mu shook his head, signaled Dugujiu to close the door, got on the carriage, and went home leisurely.
This scene was seen by Gu Sizhi's spy, who immediately reported it to him. After hearing the report from the spy, Gu Sizhi said proudly to his left and right: "Did you see that? What did I say? Do you have ours?"
Support, this exchange will be closed down in a few days. It’s only been a day, can’t you stand it anymore?”
With his subordinates on both sides, there was no way they could go against him and speak with compliments. Gu Sizhi felt even more complacent, feeling that he had finally defeated Li Mu, and had lost the bad temper of being bullied before.
He also had a lot of things on hand. Since the exchange was closed, he didn't need to waste any more time on it, so he withdrew his eyes and set off for Mingzhou Port. He still needed to supervise it personally, otherwise something would go wrong.
He had given Li Mu an excuse. In order to see Li Mu's deflated appearance, and in order to make Li Mu lower his noble head and beg him, Gu Sizhi felt that he had to do things beautifully so that Li Mu could not find any fault.
Come.
As soon as he left, Li Tai and Qin Huaidao also arrived at Chu Dali's blacksmith shop.
To be honest, there is really nothing surprising about this blacksmith shop. It is just an ordinary blacksmith shop in Yangzhou City. After asking, I found out that the relatively core competitiveness of this blacksmith shop lies in the craft of repairing weapons. This craft is passed down from ancestors.
Yes, it is a unique secret skill.
In the era of cold weapons, everyone fought with real swords and guns, which often led to curled blades or chipped teeth. At this time, the weapons needed to be repaired.
If it is repaired well, the weapon will be sharper than before, but if it is not repaired well, the weapon is likely to break from the gap the next time they fight. The two armies are fighting to the death, and a small negligence can cost a life. Chu Dali's Ancestor Biography
This skill of repairing weapons can achieve the effect of repairing weapons to be better than before.
It's just that since Chu Dali's generation, due to the lack of wars in Jiangnan, there was no place to display this skill. I usually repaired the kitchen knives, hoes, sickles and other things in ordinary people's homes, which was quite suitable. Because Chu was good at repairing kitchen knives and scissors.
Dali's business has always been better than other blacksmith shops, but that's about it.
This time he is willing to pledge his home and shop as security. In addition, he also has the 500 coins that his family has saved over three lifetimes.
Li Tai and Qin Huaidao carefully looked at what Chu Dali prepared, and kept nodding in agreement. They already knew in their hearts that they were just a little shrimp. Chu Dali's entire net worth was only 800 yuan.
What kind of waves can a small business cause?
It would be a bit foolish for the teacher to open a breakthrough through him, right?
Chu Dali's idea was to raise 1,200 guan for the expansion of the blacksmith shop. With the 1,200 guan, he would recruit more people and purchase more raw materials, and then he could go to the dock.
Looking for opportunities for cooperation, as long as you can find work at the dock, you don't have to worry about making a profit.
After what he said, Li Tai and Qin Huaidao understood the intention of the second thing Li Mu asked them to do. Only by opening up opportunities to the people can the people have the possibility of an outbreak.
Qin Huaidao made a record and reminded Chu Dali according to the procedure: "If the information you filled in is correct, sign here and pledge it. The mortgage still needs to go through some procedures. In addition, you also need to complete the current transaction."
Submit your accounts to us for verification. Are your current transactions...the accounts clear? Once listed, I'm afraid the shareholders will also check your accounts at any time. If there is anything unclear, it will be a serious crime."
"I understand the rules. I have read this guide three times." Chu Dali said and signed without hesitation: "My blacksmith shop is a time-honored brand and many regular customers come here. Go and ask about it.
When did the Chu family's blacksmith shop do anything immoral?"
Qin Huaidao nodded, but thought in his heart, even though he said this, he still had to investigate the specific situation before talking about it. When it comes to money matters, no one can tell for sure if there is a problem.
After collecting Chu Dali's signature and pledge, Li Tai and Qin Huaidao took away the accounts to check and calculate the profits. They also found local people and asked them to appraise the fixed assets that Chu Dali had pledged.
It has been three days since all the procedures given by Li Mu were completed. In the past three days, several small businesses have passed the review and will be listed in the same batch as Chu Dali. The imperial court welcomes private subcontracting.
The news about the Zhougang project has spread throughout Yangzhou City. Many people have this idea, but most of them are still waiting and watching. What they are afraid of is the attitude of the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, they also want to see,
Can the exchange run by Li Mu play its due role?
People with a little bit of strength are not willing to be the first. People like Chu Dali are at the bottom of the business class. They are so-called barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. They have no access to these gentlemen from the famous families in Jiangnan.
It is expected that they will not be as knowledgeable as me, so they don’t have so many scruples in their actions.
…
Everyone gathered around Gu Sizhi again, and one could see the anxiety between the big guy's brows.
Someone complained: "Mr. Gu, didn't you say that the exchange is closed down? Why did you issue an announcement today stating that six new stocks will be listed tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to invest. What is going on? Could it be that someone has betrayed his trust?
Secretly go to Lord Marquis to show your courtesy?"
While this man was talking, he kept looking at Wang Rui. Apparently, he had a very deep memory of Wang Rui's inactivity that day.
Wang Rui was too lazy to pay attention, but he also explained, saying: "Although I am dissatisfied with your idea, I haven't done anything behind my back. Don't use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."
At this point, Gu Sizhi believed in Wang Rui and said: "Wang Xian's nephew comes from a famous family, so he will definitely not do such a thing." After a pause, he added: "You don't have to worry too much, I
We have already sent people to investigate. The highest of their net worth is only a thousand guan. Can a mere hawker be compared with us? What's more, it is not certain whether they can raise money. Without our nod in Jiangnan, the money will never come out.
Where did it come from?"
Everyone nodded slightly. How much money do ordinary people have in their hands? If they really want to spend money, they have to come to us.
Someone was worried and asked: "What about subcontracting?"
Gu Sizhi smiled and said: "It's just a slap on us. The Marquis is expressing his dissatisfaction. Don't pay attention to it. The more the Marquis behaves like this, the more he can't live without us. Since he can't live without us, what should he be afraid of?"
"I see!"
"Mr. Gu has extraordinary insights, and I admire him endlessly."
It would be a bit foolish for the teacher to open a breakthrough through him, right?
