Chapter 814 Ship King (Third Update, please subscribe)
A piece of paper, I don't know how much repercussions it caused.

With the promulgation of the incentive measures issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, dozens of private shipyards in Ming Dynasty all borrowed money from banks to expand their shipyards.

Not only can they get preferential loans, but they can also apply for technical assistance.For many shipyards, the former is not as important as the latter. After all, they can obtain funds from various sources besides loans.But technical support is the most important thing. With technology, their shipyard will be able to obtain more orders in the future and grow stronger.

For a while, investing in shipyards even became the hottest topic. Not only that, even investing in the shipping line industry has become an extremely lively topic. After all, the high subsidy of 10 yuan per ton of iron-hulled merchant ships, coupled with the low Interest loans are enough to make anyone who is interested in the shipping industry excited.

Fatty Wang, no, it should be called Wang Guofu. He has become a bank manager, and he has long forgotten his dream of sailing. Back then, he dreamed of going to a merchant marine school and becoming a captain.But in the end, he joined the bank and worked his way from a staff member to a manager. Although it was just a business office, it could be regarded as a little achievement.

Today I read a few newspapers spread out on the table.Facing such news, he couldn't calm down anymore.

[-]% payment.[-]% low interest loan, plus subsidies!

How could he not be moved?

It's not just a dream, but more importantly, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money!
Almost immediately, Wang Guofu made an appointment with a few acquaintances, and as soon as they sat down, he spoke out his thoughts.

"I'm going to start a shipping company!"

Before everyone could speak, Wang Guofu put the document on the table and said.

"[-]% of the payment, [-]% of the low-interest loan, plus additional subsidies, we can't pay much even if we pay, and after signing the contract, we can also use the boat to mortgage the bank for a second time. We only need to take [-] yuan at most to get a boat."

Wang Guofu, who has worked in the bank for ten years, naturally knows how to maximize the use of bank capital to realize his dream.

"shipping company?"

Li Chenpu, already an engineer at the shipyard, looked at his friend and said in surprise.

"Fatty, do you really want to do this business?"

Several other classmates and friends all looked at him curiously. In fact, almost all of them were professionals in the industry. After all, they had all studied in the shipyard school back then, although only Li Chenpu entered the shipyard and became an engineer in the end. I have gone to other industries, but I know a little more about ships than outsiders.

"Shipping business is not easy to do. When the time comes for this waybill..."

"There is no problem with the waybill. Our iron ore and coal mines in Daming have to be imported from overseas. In the future, the demand for coal and iron will only increase, and the transportation volume will naturally increase. I calculated that according to the current freight rate For example, even if we use ordinary loans to build ships, we can pay back the capital in two years at most, and the time for interest-free loans is even shorter. The credit period provided by the central bank this time is 5-10 years, and we can pay it back in installments. , while using profits to build new ships, we can build at least four new ships within five to ten years.”

What are bankers best at?
It is to make full use of financial capital to serve his own business. Maybe Wang Fuguo is not a banker, but he is no stranger to some of these tricks. Now that he has the opportunity, he will certainly not miss it.

Moreover, as a banker, he analyzed various data and confirmed that the shipping industry will be the industry with the most lucrative profit margin in Ming Dynasty in the future.

After all, as a country with extensive overseas interests, it is essential to develop the shipping industry.If you seize this opportunity and enter this industry, you will surely earn inexhaustible wealth.

Maybe he can't be the captain, but it's not bad to be the king of the ship.

"Sounds good,"

Song Le looked at his friend and thought about it.

"Since we have this opportunity, we must not miss it. Wang Hong, Xu Tao, what do you think about it in a few years?"

While others were still thinking about it, Li Chenpu said.

"Fatty, you know, I've only worked for a few years. Although my income is average, I usually don't have any investment channels other than saving money. Well... I can probably spend [-]."

Li Chenpu took the lead, and several other friends also expressed their willingness to invest. Although the most were only three to five thousand yuan, and the few were only one thousand yuan, they still made up a down payment.

Later, as a lawyer, Xu Tao drafted a joint-stock company contract directly on the hotel's sticky notes.

"What is the name of our company?"

"Just call the US-Asia Line!"

Looking at his friend sitting there, Fatty Wang smiled.

"America-Asia Shipping Company, what do you think?"

When Li Chenpu and Song Le signed their names, they never imagined that just ten years later, the US-Asia Shipping Company would become the largest private shipping company in Ming Dynasty. This company not only brought them a huge amount of money Wealth, and also played an extremely important role in future wars.

The "Shipbuilding Encouragement Measures" promulgated by Sidley at the end of the fifth year greatly stimulated the development of Daming's shipbuilding and shipping industries.But it is the entire Ming Dynasty that really benefits. At the end of the fifth year of Shengde, the private shipping company of Ming Dynasty only owned 378 ships with a tonnage of 291491 tons. After only ten years, the increase was more than 20 times.

At the same time, the strength of private shipyards has also developed rapidly. With the technological development of shipyards, the navy's confidence in private shipyards has grown, and the Imperial Navy has increasingly entrusted the development of new technologies and the design of new warships to Private shipyards were completed, and shipbuilding orders began to transfer to the private shipbuilding industry.

Although at the beginning, the technical research and development of private shipyards lacked strong financial support, and their technical reserves were far from strong as the military, however, private shipyards can use private investment to obtain sufficient funds for the expansion of docks and berths and maintenance facilities The upgrade and improvement of the shipyard will form a greater advantage for the naval shipyard in terms of basic facilities, and further improve its competitiveness in ordering various ship orders.

In the end, the Imperial Admiralty has become a frequent visitor of several large private shipbuilding companies. Almost every level of warship construction will involve private shipyards. Some of them eventually become world-wide arms giants, not only have strong strength in shipbuilding , also in related fields such as armor manufacturing and weapon manufacturing.The addition of private shipbuilding enterprises also further stimulated the development of Ming Dynasty ship technology and weapon technology.

Of course, all of this is something to come. The most important thing is that the development of private shipyards has further enhanced the comprehensive national strength of Ming Dynasty, allowing Ming Dynasty to take the lead in the future arms race and help Ming Dynasty win the war. Victory at last...
