Jagged Warlord

The weather in Shangqiu in December is already cold, and some people who are afraid of the cold put on winter clothes early.A motley horse pulled the carriage, and it stopped at the gate of the guarding mission without haste.The servant sitting in the carriage jumped off the horse neatly, lifted the curtain, and placed a small bench for his master to get off the carriage.

Shen Ziqi is the young master of the Shen family, and the nominal head of the Shen family is still Mr. Shen, but the old man's health has deteriorated day by day in recent years, and Shen Ziqi is in charge of all matters of the Shen family.

Shen Ziqi got out of the carriage, patted the dust on the hem of his long gown, straightened his collar again, and then took square steps to go to the guardian envoy when another carriage came across, and the person getting off from the carriage was also a A middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Hey, Brother Shen, are you here too?" The other party asked Shen Ziqi for a confession.

Shen Ziqi saw that it was Song Qianhou of the Song family. Song Qianhou was 34 years old this year and was the second young master of the Song family. The eldest son of the Song family was studying abroad and was said to be a bookworm.It is said that Song Qianhou must have taken over the Song family property.

Shen Ziqi smiled, cupped his hands as well, and said, "I can't help it, the guardian envoy has to call everyone for a meeting again."

Song Qianhou also smiled and replied: "Yes, the Beiyang Army has a lot of taxes, so we will have more SS troops here."

Shen Ziqi smiled and said, "Although it sounds boring, it's better than asking us to pay."

"Brother Shen~ Please invite first!" Song Qianhou made a humble gesture

Shen Ziqi pulled Song Qianhou up and said, "You're welcome, let's go together!"

When I arrived at the back flower hall of the guarding envoy, I saw other people from Hou, Ye, Yu, Zhou, Gao, Yang, Chen, Cai, Mu, Chai, Shang, Meng and Hu also arrived.

Shen Ziqi and Song Qianhou saluted each other with the crowd, and then Li Mohan came out holding a chess board.

"Thank you for your hard work. It is really bothering you to take time out of your busy schedules to come to my place." Li Mohan smiled and ordered the servants to serve tea and cigarettes to the guests.Then, Li Mohan asked people to put the chess board on the big table in the middle of the flower hall.

"Master Guardian Envoy is very interested, did you invite us all to have a hand-to-hand chat today?" Shen Ziqi asked with a smile

Li Mohan shook his head and said, "No, do you still remember what I said when I advised you to exchange land for industrial stocks and join the industry?"

Song Qianhou said with a smile: "My lord said a lot at that time."

Li Mohan smiled, and said: "Remember when I said that investing in industry, the return on profits grows geometrically?"

Chen Peilun of the Chen family nodded and said: "I remember this, but what is meant by geometric growth, my lord did not explain clearly."

Li Mohan said: "I know that you are very reluctant to exchange the land that has been managed for generations for stocks in risky positions. But I can guarantee that you will get rich returns that you could not have imagined before." After that, Li Mohan pointed Pointing to the chess board, he said: "Today, I will tell you about the growth of geometric numbers."

Everyone looked at the chessboard in unison.

Li Mohan said: "You are all wealthy families in Shangqiu, but I can be sure that all of your wealth is not enough for this chessboard."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone showed disdain and displeasure.

Li Mohan said: "Not convinced? Try it if you are not convinced. Put a penny in the first grid, two cents in the second grid, wanton pennies in the third grid, and so on. Who will come first?"

In terms of money, the Chen family is the most among the seven major families and eight major families, so Chen Peilun volunteered to stand up and said, "I'll come first."

The mathematical principle used in Li Mohan's trap is the multiplication principle.The frightening thing about this mathematical model is that if a number is greater than or equal to 2, its doubling rate is astonishing when it increases geometrically.If the grain of rice in the first grid is written as 2 to the 0th power, the second grid is written as 2 to the 1st power, and the third grid is written as 2 to the 2nd power, then the nth grid can be written as 2 to the n -1 power.There are 64 grids on the chess board, and the maximum value is 2 to the 63rd power, which is 9223372036854780000 points. This is only the capacity of this grid. The combined net worth of the seven and eight major households in Shangqiu is not enough.

Sure enough, Chen Peilun felt something was wrong before he had filled a few grids, and his temples began to break out in cold sweat.

Li Mohan laughed, and said: "Mr. Chen, I won't make things difficult for you." After saying that, he announced the pre-calculated figures, and everyone present was startled.

Li Mohan pointed to the chessboard and said: "This is the so-called geometric number growth."

Everyone took a deep breath.

Li Mohan cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone, Britain, France and other big powers are currently busy with the European war. The development of China's national industry has provided favorable conditions. Outside the country, countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia are busy with wars, and production has been damaged, resulting in a significant reduction in the total amount of foreign commodities and capital imported into China, and they even have to purchase commodities from China and return them to China. To stimulate the development of China's national industry."

Shen Ziqi thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Li Mohan continued: "In addition, as we all know, Shangqiu already has an industrial park, and I plan to build another economic development zone to attract foreign capital to invest here."

"Master Guardian envoy means to establish a concession in Shangqiu?" Song Qianhou was very surprised.

"No, no, it's not the concession." Li Mohan immediately denied, "The old method of the concession will not only arouse public anger, but can it bring anything? What we want is money and technology from the Western powers."

From the analysis of the successful experience of some developing countries in utilizing foreign capital and the practical effect of my country in the past ten years, absorbing foreign direct investment is more beneficial to the development of the country's economic construction than using foreign loans, and the risk is relatively small. Its advantages are mainly manifested in the following several aspects:

First of all, it is directly linked to the interests of investors, and both parties share profits and losses and share risks.Due to the joint investment and joint management of the enterprise by both Chinese and foreign parties, their interests are closely linked with the fate of the enterprise, resulting in a close relationship of mutual life and death.This inherent coercive and binding force has promoted the improvement of the quality of the enterprise and enhanced the vitality of the enterprise.

Secondly, it is conducive to the introduction of "package" and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.In order to increase the investment capital, foreign businessmen must adopt more advanced technology, equipment and management methods when deciding to invest in joint ventures or sole proprietorships, and make full use of my country's abundant labor force and land resources to give full play to their comprehensive advantages and continuously Develop and innovate, improve the production technology and management level of enterprises, and promote the development of economy and technology.At the same time, it also helps to cultivate technical management talents suitable for the development of export-oriented economy, and helps to improve the quality of labor force.

Third, it is conducive to expanding product sales and opening up international markets.The operation of the joint venture or sole proprietorship directly affects the economic interests of the investors. As one of the investors, foreign businessmen must actively care about market development.

"Of course~" Li Mohan emphasized: "Although we have sovereignty over the concession, we don't have jurisdiction, and this development zone is led by the government, and administrative management and other matters are still in our hands. It’s just for industry, and this development zone not only allows foreigners to set up factories, but we Chinese can also set up factories in it. Chinese people set up factories in the development zone, and they can also enjoy the preferential tax policy of two exemptions and three reductions.”

The so-called "two exemptions" means tax exemption in the first and second years, and the so-called "three reductions" means tax halving in the third, fourth and fifth years.Therefore, the purpose of two exemptions and three reductions is to support national industries.
