The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 187 Public-private partnership

I thought for a while, and thought to myself, "Now is the time to spend money. Although the late emperor left a large amount of wealth, it is still far from enough. The future new army is a bottomless pit. As for how much tax the Pu family should pay, I have no idea." I'm too lazy to count. Of course, I won't let go of the Pu family's property, but what method should I use?"

Killing the chicken to get the egg is really the worst policy. Of course, the chicken should lay the egg, and the egg should lay the chicken, so that the cycle can continue.

Finally I made up my mind and said: "Pu Shougeng, you are a smart person, sit down."

"Thank you sir."

The big stone stuck in Pu Shougeng's heart finally disappeared at this moment, and the lives of the Pu family were saved.

"Pu Shougeng, I know that you have served as Quanzhou Tiju Ship Secretary for three years, and the late Emperor also named you Chengjielang when he was alive, but this is just a vacant position. Now let me ask you, if you choose, Do you intend to become an official in the court or continue to do business?"

Pu Shougeng didn't know what my intention was, so he could only reply cautiously: "My lord, Caomin is willing to listen to your orders."

I smiled lightly: "Pu Shougeng, I know you are a talent, whether you are in the officialdom or in the shopping malls, you are competent enough. Therefore, I plan to change your Pu's firm to Dasong foreign trade firm, of which I will nine you one, Would you like to?"

Pu Shougeng felt lucky to be able to keep [-]% of his family property, but he had to work for others from now on, and he lost more than half of his hard-earned family property in a blink of an eye, and he felt a little sad in his heart. have no choice.

After all, Pu Shougeng was a man of insight, so he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and said, "My lord, Cao Min is willing. Dare I ask you, the details of this Great Song trader?"

"Public-private partnership." I blurted out. Of course, I will not follow the method of reforming national capitalists in later generations, but just borrow this name.

After liberation, there was an upsurge of socialist transformation across the country, and a public-private partnership was realized for the national capitalist industry and commerce.I learned this passage when I was studying history, so I naturally thought of it.

Public-private partnerships have stabilized my country's economy for a certain period of time, but in the long run, they are not conducive to economic development. At least countless national brands have been stifled, which is one of the reasons why my country has few century-old brands.However, for Pujia, it is only engaged in export trade and has no own brand, so these so-called core technologies are not involved.

"Public-private partnership?"

"Exactly. To put it simply, the ownership of your original firm belongs to me, because I own [-]% of it. Principal, so it’s called a public-private partnership.”

In the eyes of the world, of course I can represent the public.Pu Shougeng acquiesced to my simple overlord logic, and continued to ask: "My lord, how will this firm operate in the future?"

"The ownership of this business belongs to me, but I will naturally not take care of it myself, so I will find a spokesperson who will be fully responsible for the daily operations of the business, and I will only look at the business report of the business and be responsible for the direction of the business. thing."

"Young Master, there must be someone to choose."

I said with a slightly serious expression: "Pu Shougeng, you are indeed very smart, and I appreciate smart people, but I will only use smart people who are loyal to me. You need to keep this in mind."

Seeing that my expression became serious, Pu Shougeng got up quickly and said, "My lord, don't worry, although the ancestors of the Caomin were from the Western Regions, the Caomin grew up eating millet from our dynasty. Except for their appearance, the rest are similar to our Han people. There is no difference, the grassroots still understand the principle that the ruler is the sky. What's more, the ruler is the wise ruler, and the sky is sunny."

"Haha." I accepted Pu Shougeng's flattery with a smile, and said, "Pu Shougeng, you should be sixty this year, right?"

"Master Hui, Cao Min is exactly sixty this year."

"I have sons and grandchildren, and now there are three generations living under the same roof."

"Yes, son." Pu Shougeng didn't know why I asked this suddenly.

"Pu Shougeng, the ancients said that you can't be rich for only three generations. Even if you have wealth that rivals a country's property, when it comes to future generations, it depends on their own good fortune. Humans, when material wealth reaches a certain level, it's time to pursue spiritual wealth. You I used to be a scholar. I have read the general history of the past dynasties. How many wealthy businessmen can be famous for thousands of years? Even Bai Gui, the founder of the firm, said that a successful businessman must have righteousness, wisdom, and courage. Benevolence, benevolence, and strength are five conditions, which are also the key to his success in business. Wisdom means change; courage means making decisions; Bai Gui didn't explain this condition, but he put it first, why?"

"My lord, the grassroots are dull, please clear up your confusion, lord."

"This righteous word is well said. What is the purpose of doing business? Of course, it is to make money. What to do after making money? Of course, it is recycled and reinvested. After that, what else needs to be done? It is for the righteousness of the world. This The word "righteousness" can be said to mean great righteousness, morality, righteousness, and affection. It tells businessmen a truth, that is, to take from the people and use it to the people can form a virtuous circle with the heaven and the earth and be endless. Pu Shougeng, You can be regarded as a rich person, no matter how rich you are, it is just a number to you, now you have reached the final stage of business, you are doing business for the righteousness of the world, this is the highest level of a businessman."

Pu Shougeng knew about Bai Gui, and also knew that Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty had named Bai Gui the "Sage of Merchant"; the folks called Bai Gui the "God of Wealth in the World", but he didn't know the five conditions that a businessman must meet. I said, It is also convinced.

"Master Shengming, Caomin is honored to be able to follow you. Caomin is willing to follow you and has reached the highest level of a businessman."

"Okay! Pu Shougeng, you know that the overseas profits of spices are extremely high, and you also know that monosodium glutamate has a huge market overseas, but these are just a drop in the bucket. You know about the hard pens and magnifying glasses of my Shifeng Trading Company, right?"

"Young Master, of course Caomin knows." Pu Shougeng took out a magnifying glass from his arms and said, "Caomin also carries it with him, which is indeed a lot more convenient for older people."

"Well. There are many things like this, we have developed, some have been developed, and some are still under development. Except for a small number of contraband, if most of the items are handed over to you for operation, I believe you are very clear about the prospects of the overseas market. You have existing customers overseas. You only need to pour these items into your original customer base, and the profits will naturally increase exponentially. And these things It can also expand your original customer base several times. Think about it, what will the result be? It can be described as endless. Come and see this.”

I picked up a match from the table and struck lightly on the box coated with red phosphorous beside it, only to see a flame burst out.

"This is called a match. It was just developed. Although it is still too rough, it is very convenient. Isn't this much more convenient than a fire knife and flint?"

"Amazing!" Pu Shougeng said with emotion.

"These items will emerge in endlessly in the future. Is the endless profit I said a great opportunity?"

Pu Shougeng reacted very quickly. Even if he only had [-]% of the principal now, he could increase it countless times in a few years. By then, he would not only be able to earn back the remaining [-]%, but also far exceed it. The purpose is to export, and the risk is very small. If you calculate it this way, you only make a profit but not a loss, which is a great thing.

"It is rumored in official circles that Lu Xiufu, the emperor's confidant minister, once said that His Majesty is a god-man. Perhaps this is true." Pu Shougeng thought.

"My lord, the grass people will definitely act according to my will." Pu Shougeng got up again and bowed.

I can't remember the development of Pujia in history, but I know that Pujia has changed its original track and embarked on another road.For the Pu family, perhaps this result is more worth looking forward to than following the development of the original Pu family.If Pu Shougeng was helpless when he first entered Beijing, then now, Pu Shougeng is willing.

The future customers of Shifeng Commercial Bank are mainly domestic, while Dasong Foreign Trade Firm (also known as Pushi Commercial Bank) is only engaged in export trade. I plan to make Xiao Tian and Pu Shougeng two big "red capitalists" around me, of course , I am the absolute controlling shareholder.
