Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168 Zi Lian, You Are the President

Regarding Cao Hong's request to build a pair of armor, Lu Yan asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"That's why Zixiao came to ask me to borrow money, so I asked him why he took so much money."

"Hehe!" Lu Yan immediately looked at Cao Hong with admiration, "Did you lend it to him? How much did you borrow?"

Speaking of borrowing money, a trace of heartache still flashed across Cao Hong's face,
"Borrowed Zixiao a hundred gold
You also know that Zixiao's daily salary is used to subsidize the soldiers besides supporting his family.

If I lent it to him, nine times out of ten I would never get it back. "

Then you still borrow it?It seems that the current Cao Hong has not reached the point where he was so desperate for his life in his later years, and he can still be rescued!

"Holy shit! Local tyrant!" Lu Yan was shocked, "That is to say, you borrowed 100 gold to Cao Ren, and then you have to pay another 100 gold to build a pair of armor for yourself?!"

Evil local tyrant!

Cao Ren glanced around and saw that only Xia Houlan was here, then he tilted his head and approached Lu Yan, and said in a low voice, "Sir, if you can make better weapons and armor, I can add 20 more." gold!"

"I'm so good!" Lu Yan looked at Cao Hong, and suddenly felt that his whole body was shining with the light of local tyrant gold, "I really can't see it, Zilian, you have such a rich family background!" Lu Yan sighed.

In fact,
A large part of Cao Hong's fame in later generations comes from the fact that he followed Cao Cao through life and death and experienced so many battles, but from his incomparably rich wealth and his stinginess.

At a certain time, Cao Hong's family wealth was even inferior to Cao Cao's!

But he has not yet reached the level of wealth that can rival a country.

But after all, I have worked with Cao Cao for so many years,

The inheritance from his ancestors, Cao Cao's reward, plus salary and some filial piety, maybe he is still doing business secretly in private. In short, Cao Hong's net worth is really rich.

Cao Hong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Personal hobbies, personal hobbies, hehe!"

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Lu Yan no longer hides it.

After casting a look at Xia Houlan and telling him to close the door, Lu Yan said to Cao Hong: "Zilian, since you love money so much, I just have a chance to make a lot of money here. Are you interested in knowing more about it?" a bit?"

When Cao Hong heard that he could make a lot of money, his expression instantly turned into flattery, "Sir, you know me Cao Hong best!"

After taking half a step closer, Cao Hong came to Lu Yan and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what kind of opportunity is it?"

Lu Yan took out a piece of silk with the merchant's instructions from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Hong, and said, "Look at it first, and then ask me questions after reading it."

"Oh, okay." Cao Hong took the silk and began to study it carefully.

"Huh?" After reading it carefully two or three times, Cao Hong raised his head, frowned and asked: "Sir, this chamber of commerce is an interesting thing, but this business tax"

Lu Yan saw that Cao Hong was hesitant and even resisted, so he said: "Just like farmers pay taxes for farming, commodity transactions should also extract taxes from transaction profits." After a pause, Lu Yan continued: "Being a merchant After becoming a member, in addition to their internal transactions being cheaper, each member can also get dividends at the end of the year. The source of this part of the dividends is also deducted from the business tax."

Cao Hong glanced at Lu Yan, shook his head and said, "Sir, what I mean is, the business tax is ten and one, is it too low?"

"You mean this?" Lu Yan suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the words.

He chuckled and said: "Don't look at ten taxes and one is not much, but every commodity transaction will extract commercial tax. Once the transaction volume increases, it will be an astronomical sum!"

"It makes sense!" Cao Hong was stunned, and then asked: "Then how do you calculate the year-end dividend?"

"Year-end dividends can be selected from the total tax amount of [-]."

Hearing this, Cao Hong already had a general idea in mind, "If the trade is prosperous, then the profits brought by the Chamber of Commerce's own products, plus the year-end dividends of the Chamber of Commerce. This is really a lot of money!"

"Dividends should be distributed according to work, and the management of members also needs to be rigorous and careful.

The Chamber of Commerce also needs someone who can hold the place, so it also needs a president. "

"Snakes can't do without a head. The Chamber of Commerce really needs a leader." Cao Hong nodded and agreed.

"Members work hard, and the president works hard.

So according to my idea, the president does not have to personally participate in the business, but can draw a certain amount of profit from the income of the members.

And the president should take a higher percentage of the annual dividends." Having said that, Lu Yan suddenly stopped.

Cao Hong felt that what Lu Yan said was very reasonable, and he was listening intently, but after waiting for a long time, Lu Yan didn't say anything.

"Sir, please continue!" Cao Hong was a little anxious. The appetite of the fisherman was so up and down, it was really uncomfortable!

Cao Hong eagerly looked up, but saw Lu Yan staring at him without blinking.

The bewildered and confused Cao Hong couldn't help asking: "Sir, is there something wrong with me?"

After hearing Cao Hong's words, Lu Yan showed a kind smile on his face, and replied: "There is nothing wrong with it."

"That gentleman has been looking at me"

"I want you to be the president." Lu Yan's tone was calm.

Cao Hong's heart was stirred up, and the expression on his face also froze.

After a while, Cao Hong recovered from the shock, "This is not you. I will be the president???"

"That's right, I think it's very suitable for you to be the president of this chamber of commerce." Lu Yan's smile was still kind.

After being confirmed again, Cao Hong recovered from his shock and asked, "Why did you choose me, sir?"

Cao Hong wanted to know the reason,
So Lu Yan broke his fingers and explained to him: "First, you, Cao Hong, love money!"

Hit the bullseye, the first reason, Cao Hong has nothing to say.

"Second, you, Cao Hong, have experience and brains in this area!"

Well, it seems that his secret business has been discovered. Cao Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "You have discovered all of this. I should say, you are worthy of being a gentleman?"

Lu Yan smiled and continued: "The third and most important point.

You, Cao Zilian, are Duke Cao's close brother.

For Duke Cao, you don't even have to kill yourself,

So I don't think you will go behind Cao Gong's back to covet some yellow and white things. "

After hearing the third reason, the smile on Cao Hong's face disappeared, and his back straightened.

Standing up straight, Cao Hong clasped his fists to the northeast where Juancheng is located, and then replied:
"My brothers and I will spend all our wealth to help the eldest brother Chen Liu raise his army! A little money, how can it compare with our brotherhood?"
