The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 325 What kind of business can be done with guns and troops?

Wrapped in heavy woolen coats, Wu Datou and other businessmen entered Wazhou City at the invitation of Wang Jinxiong.

The main streets in the city are basically small buildings with three or four floors. Walking along the street, various tricks hang down from the buildings, which dazzles those who look at them.

Many of the pedestrians on the street were wearing the same clothes. They were riding donkey carts and speeding down the street in a hurry. The four-wheel carriage stopped and went, shouting for people to get on. The streets are full of shops with people coming and going, and the people who go in and out of them have big and small bags in their hands and their faces are red.

It feels as prosperous as Taoyang City, even more lively. It seems to be two different worlds from the Central Plains, which is experiencing war.

When they arrived at the Dudu Mansion Guest House, the businessmen were assigned a room each. The receptionist said that this was a reception place specially arranged by the Dudu to meet the businessmen. In recent days, everyone can stay here for free, and there is also a free meal in the morning. . The free reception will not end until the Governor has received everyone.

Have traveling merchants been so valued? The Dudu Mansion Guest House is an official inn, so it lets people stay there casually?

"Brother Wang and the Governor are treating us with such courtesy, but what can I do for you?" The normal reception standards made Wu Datou feel extremely panicked, and they hurriedly went to Wang Jinxiong to find out.

Facing a group of eager businessmen, Wang Jinxiong said calmly: "Don't panic, everyone. Although not everyone can live in the guest house of the Governor's Mansion, the threshold is not as high as you think. In the early years, Wang I also enjoyed it several times when I visited the governor in Taoyang City. This is not a rare thing in Anxi.

I met with the Governor yesterday. The Governor very much welcomes your plans to start a business in Anxi. We are discussing the terms and conditions with the officials. Once the regulations are finalized, we will personally come forward to reassure you.

Before the specific articles were submitted, the governor had a rough idea in mind, and asked Wang to convey a few details to everyone first, so that everyone can be prepared so that they can explain it well when they see it in person.

There are three things that the governor said. First, since you are all wealthy businessmen and you are interested in buying real estate in Anxi, the governor's office is prepared to take out part of the share capital of a part of the government-owned factory so that you can subscribe for shares and buy real estate.

Second, seeing that you are interested in purchasing shops or engaging in factory work, the Governor's Office is planning to build a new urban area in the east of Wazhou City. The Governor's Office will release the land and you will contribute funds. After the construction is completed, the property rights will belong to the investors.

The third is that in view of the need for land in various places, the Governor's Office is planning to set up government-run farms in Yinzhou and other places. The government-run farms are mainly used to resettle refugees from war-torn areas to Anxi. The money for opening the fields and resettling the refugees will be raised by you. After four years, the fields and all the property on the farms will belong to the investors, and the governor's office will allocate additional land to the refugees.

By the way, the Governor has spoken first. The above matters are all voluntary. Whether to participate or not is entirely up to you. The Governor's Office will never force you. Even if you do not participate, your business operations in Anxi will not be affected. "

Wang Jinxiong's words were like a thunderbolt. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around them looked at each other and started discussing among themselves. what does it mean? This is completely different from what everyone expected when they came to Wazhou City. Everyone went to Wazhou City to meet Song Yingkui for two reasons. One was to hope that the Governor's Office could sell some fields and shops to everyone, and the other was to get official documents to give foreign businessmen the same treatment as local businessmen. Let everyone do business freely with peace of mind!

Although there are no restrictions on foreign merchants doing business in Anxi territory, the big businessmen are still worried. They are afraid that the policy will change in the future. Only with the approval of Governor Song will their worries be settled. Doing big business is not like a small businessman. You must have clear policies before you can dare to do it.

As a result, before the real owner could see him, there was a twist that made everyone pay for it. Do you want to pay for it? Is it necessary to participate?

Wu Sanye, a businessman from Guanzhong, whispered to everyone for a long time. After much hesitation, he took Wang Jinxiong's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Wang, how do you plan to participate in what the Governor's Mansion said?"

"Brother Wu is afraid that he will never come back if he invests money? You really asked the right person about this matter to Mr. Wang. When the governor started his business in Wuying, he wanted to build an iron factory and invited Mr. Wang to subscribe for shares. Wang had shallow eye sockets at first and was afraid that there would be trouble in dealing with officials, so he declined.

Looking back now, I officially regret it to death. The share that was supposed to belong to Wang was later given to Mrs. Li's family by the governor. Over the years, the Li family had made an incredible amount of money from the shares in Wuying Iron Works. This time the governor was going to take out a lot of shares of government-owned factories again, and Wang didn't want to miss it again.

As for the funding for Wazhou Xincheng and Yinzhou government-run farms, there is no ambiguity. You will get as much property as you put in. The Governor's Office is just helping us do the preliminary work. We will take it ourselves. Qian was too slow to do this, and it was far less convenient than the Governor's Mansion to do it all in one go. "

"Brother Wang, the Li family's situation is different from ours! How can we ensure that after we invest, we can safely share the dividends?" Wu Sanye did not let go of his doubts after listening to Wang Jinxiong's explanation.

"Brother Wu, you take your own money too seriously, and the Governor's Mansion too lightly. The Governor's Mansion has so much money, will you break your promise just for your little money?

In addition, in order to reassure those who subscribe for shares, the accounts of all factories that sell shares must be specially audited, and everyone can also check all the accounts for the previous three years. The Governor's Office has also promised that after the stock subscription, the factory's income must be at least the same as that of the previous year. If it is insufficient, the Governor's Office will make up for it. In addition, if you subscribe for more than 30% of the shares, not only can you send personnel to participate in the management of the factory, but you will also be given priority to subscribe to the entire share capital of the factory and take over the factory after three years.

What Wang is worried about now is not that the Governor's Office has swallowed up our money. What Wang is worried about is whether the Governor's Office can release the capital of some good factories that make a lot of money. If the factories that make a lot of money are really released, Wang will buy more stocks even if he sells them, so that he can really build a family business. "

Wu Sanye's heart was agitated by Wang Jinxiong's words. According to this explanation, this matter seemed to be a mess. Naturally, everyone knows whether the factories owned by the government of Anxi Dudufu can make money. These are all factories that produce goods that are in short supply. As long as you have one, you can make a steady stream of money. It is the first choice for buying a house.

But why would the Governor's Office sell shares of such a profitable factory? Wu Sanye felt that there was something wrong with the logic, and quickly asked: "Brother Wang, why do you think the Governor's Office wants to give away profitable business to outsiders? This is unreasonable!"

"Do you think the Governor is a businessman like you? Are you referring to making money from factories? Selling out the factory's share capital is naturally to free up hands and money to do bigger things! Such as building gun factories and expanding the army. , Don’t you need money? What kind of business can you do with guns and troops? It’s nothing compared to opening a factory!”
