Chapter 983 Where is Home? (Second update, please subscribe)
"Zifeiyu, know the joy of fish?"

While Liu Kunpeng lamented that the majestic head of the palace had been reduced to the chief executive of the empire's trivial affairs, the chief left chief was leisurely fishing by the lake on the northern outskirts of Zhongdu.

Located in the east of Zhongdu, this lake is an artificial lake with an area of ​​nearly 80 square kilometers. At the beginning of the city’s construction, the designers used the local hilly terrain to build dams to intercept the water of several nearby rivers, forming an artificial lake with a circumference of more than 100 kilometers. The lake can be used as a supplementary water source for the city, and also forms a hydrophilic space.

Of course, there are also mansions and manors of Ming dignitaries gathered around the lake.The Zuo family's mansion is also nearby. As for the piece of land that was half-given and half-rewarded by the emperor, it will soon be developed into a commercial district, and will be passed down as the Zuo family's family business from generation to generation.

At this time, Zuo Zongtang, who was sitting by the lake, was fishing there. He was sitting under the parasol, chatting with his son without saying a word.

"I heard that you plan to return to Shenzhou to invest?"

Zuo Zongtang, who was staring at the fish float, asked casually.

"Yes, father, all industries in China are waiting to be flourished, and all walks of life are in urgent need of investment in all aspects. The market in China is so huge. If you go back and invest, the income must be extremely considerable."

In front of his father's question, Zuo Xiaoxun answered directly, his eldest brother is a soldier, and his second brother is a doctor. As for him, although he studied chemistry and worked in the Imperial Chemical Laboratory for many years, he has always intended to run his own business.

Originally he planned to invest in Japan, but now the changes in Shenzhou made Zuo Xiaoxun change his mind.

"Well, it's good that you have that idea."

Zuo Zongtang nodded slightly and said.

"In any case, China is our foundation. Investing in China can not only benefit you personally, but also help China's economic development. It is a good thing that benefits the country and yourself. We must first figure out what the demand is, and we must not invest blindly."

Facing his father's exhortation, Zuo Xiaoxun smiled.

"My child knows that China's textile industry has begun to take shape in the past few years, but the printing and dyeing technology is extremely backward. I plan to return to China to set up a printing and dyeing factory. After the printing and dyeing factory takes shape, I will introduce equipment to set up a chemical factory in China. In short, one step at a time. Come on... I'm hooked."

Without waiting for his son's words to fall, Zuo Zongtang quickly pulled back the rod, put the fish he caught into the fish basket, re-baited the fish, and put the hook back into the water before speaking slowly.

"I don't know much about business, but I've learned a lot about business from His Majesty's side these years. When it comes to business, Your Majesty, no one can match it!"

What is His Majesty best at?
Just do business!

What did Ming Dynasty start from?
It started from a commercial company!

"That's natural. Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to start such a foundation in a foreign country from scratch!"

When mentioning His Majesty, Zuo Xiaoxun's words were full of admiration. In Daming, all young people worshiped His Majesty, because His Majesty's experience itself is a legend, a legend worthy of everyone's admiration.

"Actually, Your Majesty's business plan is very simple, step by step, and constantly upgrade, just like what you said before, first set up a printing and dyeing factory, and then set up a chemical factory. When the chemical factory is scaled up, you will also understand this industry. , and then set up a chemical machinery factory. Such a step-by-step approach will never make mistakes.”

In fact, this is the process of industrial upgrading. As we all know, the earliest factory in Nanhua has only one farm tool repair shop, which only produces and repairs farm tools. Where will the produced farm tools be supplied?It is self-produced and sold, and then upgraded step by step, and finally developed into an industry favorite.

"The boy knows."

Nodding slightly, Zuo Zongtang said again.

"You made a good move in investing in Shenzhou. In the future, investing in Shenzhou must be the top priority of Daming. After all, in the future, Daming and Shenzhou will definitely form a close whole. Both will prosper and each will suffer!"

Since some words were in front of his son, Zuo Zongtang would not say them. He stared at the fish floating on the lake for a while, and then said.

"I told Manager Fang that you withdraw 5 yuan from your account..."

Manager Fang is the manager of the Industrial Bank. Zuo Zongtang’s salary has always been handed over to the Industrial Bank. As the chief assistant of the empire, his annual salary income reaches more than [-] yuan. Although he is a big business, he can still save some money every year. Most of those savings were invested in the corresponding royal enterprises under the emperor's suggestion, and these years can be regarded as quite profitable.

In fact, this is also a way for Emperor Zhu to win over his subordinates. Many imperial properties, including Nanhua Company, have shares of generals and officials. They invest thousands of yuan every year, and tens of thousands of yuan at most. After coming down, all of them have rich family businesses.Just like the market value of the shares held by Zuo Zongtang is at least millions, and the annual dividends far exceed his salary.

This is a blessing in disguise, and of course it is necessary to buy people's hearts. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not directly reward gold and silver to buy people's hearts. The same is true for the land of Tian and Nanhua.

All the ministers, including Zuo Zongtang, were naturally grateful for this. Of course they knew what His Majesty's gift was, was it to win people's hearts?

of course!

But in fact, this is also a kind of rest with the country!

"Father, I have enough money, I don't need..."

Before his son could finish speaking, Zuo Zongtang shook his head and said.

"The 5 yuan is not from your father, it is an investment from your father. Your eldest brother is in the army, your second brother is a doctor, and your fourth brother has not yet figured out what to do. In the future, they must spend their money on Quite a lot, the income from this money will be controlled by the big house in the future, this can be regarded as a little selfishness of me as a father!"

But everyone has selfishness, Zuo Zongtang is no exception, but his selfishness is not corruption, but a little selfishness towards his family.

"Father, my son understands, just ask Manager Fang to transfer the money to my account later, my son knows how to do it."

Zuo Xiaoxun said while joking.

"Father, I plan to return to Shenzhou next month. When the baby is not with you, you and mother have to take care of yourself."

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Zuo Zongtang said.

"You don't have to worry about the family, the Zuo family... is always rooted in Shenzhou!"

In fact, the Zuo family's investment in Shenzhou was just the beginning. In the next few decades, it was the continuous private investment that supported the industrialization of China, and finally made China a powerful country.

It was also during this process that the Ming Dynasty and Shenzhou became a close alliance...
