Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 392
After Wang Tong yelled out his thoughts, he didn't see any admiration or amazement from the faces of the audience below. After a little bit of astonishment and confusion, some people showed a look of helplessness on the contrary.

This made Wang Tong quite puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he directly shouted to the person in front:

"This official just said, what do you think!?"

That person was able to lean on the front, because his wealth and status are currently in the forefront of Tianjin Wei businessmen. He was a little flustered when asked by Wang Tong's name, but after regaining his composure, he made a bow to Wang Tong and said:
"The villain has a few words, the adults should not be offended."

Wang Tong nodded and said:
"But it doesn't matter."

"The Japanese pirates attacked. If there were no adults' soldiers and horses fighting hard for a night, more than [-]% of the people here would be ruined. Even the lives of themselves and their wives and children might not be able to be saved. This kind of great kindness, the young people will always remember it. I take it to heart, and the adults are fair and honest in Tianjin Wei, and never ask for more than a penny, and the younger ones also see it."

After saying this, the silence below turned into a slight commotion. The businessmen looked at each other and nodded, talking in low voices in line with the words of the person in front. Everyone saw what Wang Tong did. This is a real thing.

"Although the villain is a businessman, he also knows that it costs money to go to war. If you need the little ones to repay you, the adults will say it, and I will be greatly favored by the adults. Can't you even do this joint?" If so, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by the people of the world.”

The merchants below were in commotion again, but there was no objection. Everywhere in the world, it is a matter of course to donate to the government when doing business. Mr. Wang’s tax money and peace money are collected from the government. Send it to the palace, but the family doesn't have any income on hand, everyone knows this well.

Now Mr. Wang actually wants to raise money by opening a store and selling shares. Doesn't it seem that everyone is too ignorant.

But this is also Wang Tong's reasoning image of always doing things according to the rules, otherwise, what businessman would dare to speak out about this matter so boldly.

The person who was asked by name had a righteous look on his face, as if he had done something extraordinary. Wang Tong stood on the wooden table in astonishment, with a dumbfounding expression on his face, he waved his hands and said helplessly:

"Everyone, if I'm short of money to spend, just add some taxes and fees. Why do you need this shop? I'm just asking everyone. It goes without saying that everyone's business is going smoothly, but when natural disasters and man-made disasters come into play, who dares to say , my own ship, my own goods, will not encounter storms or pirates in the sea for a lifetime?"

Going to sea in this era is still a very dangerous thing. It is normal for six or seven ships to return to the port when ten ships go out to sea. It is also normal to encounter pirates. The merchants below agree with this statement.

"One shipment and one shop cost at least 6 to [-] taels of silver. Everyone, with such a large amount, small and medium-sized businesses will go bankrupt, and large merchants may also be hurt. But with such a large sum, even if everyone has help Even if you have the compassion to help those in need, you are powerless.”

The scene became more and more quiet. Wang Qianhu didn't want to ask everyone for money, but seemed to say something that would be of great benefit to everyone.

"What I mean is that each family contributes money and shares to set up a store, and the accumulation of sand will form a tower. One person and one store cannot do it. We have so many people in Tianjin Wei and so many stores. This store is doing some business, if something happens to someone’s family, if someone’s family is in trouble, the money from this store will be used to compensate, what do you think!?”

There was a look of sudden realization on everyone's face. It turned out that this was the case, but immediately they looked a little confused, and there were many questions to ask.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I will answer any questions!"

"Master Wang, who is in charge of this shop?"

"Since it's a joint stock company, it's natural that whoever owns the most will take care of it, just like a normal shop."

"Master Wang, no matter what, as long as you suffer a loss, will this shop compensate you?"

"Of course not. Everything is a back-and-forth business. If you don't pay this shop, naturally this shop won't protect you. However, I have a question for everyone. If you pay five taels of silver for 100 taels, It’s okay, it’s a waste of five taels, if something happens, this store will pay you 100 taels, how can it be worthwhile?”

The scene was quiet for a while, and then a bigger commotion broke out. Everyone wanted to ask questions. The front asked, and the people behind passed the questions to the front to ask.

"My lord, it's the same reason for sailing at sea, but if you buy shares and enter this shop, doesn't this shop lose money and silver all day long, and what will happen when the principal is spent in the end? Is the silver in there?"

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile. In that life, when the teacher finished explaining these questions and asked the students to ask questions, everyone seemed to be so enthusiastic. However, most of the questions Wang Tong had his own answers, so he was not embarrassed at all. he.

"So many people have put together a lot of money, how big should this be? You can do a rough calculation. With this amount of money in your hands, and in a place like Tianjin Wei, it is not easy to make money. ..."

"Master Wang, the cost of building this store is so high, and all the people from the sea and the river will be eaten by this store. Doesn't this make us big guys unable to do business?"

Another person asked about the point, and Wang Tong raised his hand and said with a smile:

"With so much money, if you go to compete with everyone for the trade business, you will lose the watermelon and pick sesame seeds. The area beside the Haihe River and the sea is still wasteland, and the south bank of the Haihe River is still farmland. How much more needs to be repaired? Shops, warehouses, streets, and even wharves, how many things we will build in Tianjin Wei in the future? How many people and materials will be used to build these things. If you use silver, it will not be like throwing out gold and silver.”

Wang Tong's mouth was dry, and he stopped here, and said to the guards below:
"Bring a pot of tea!"

The guards were taken aback, and hurried to get it. No one laughed at this absurd move. They were all attentively waiting for Wang Tong's next words. After drinking a few sips of tea, Wang Tong said again:
"In the future, these shops, warehouses, streets, land consolidation, and building construction will all be handed over to this shop. The completed things will naturally belong to the government. If the government has money, it will pay according to the market construction law. The rent and usage fees of these places are used to repay, and if you have enough money, you can also come to this business to borrow money, and the interest will be based on the market."

It was quiet down below, and many people looked around subconsciously. Although there are buildings and walls covering the surrounding area, the line of sight is not too far away, but everyone knows that there are still many places around the Haihe business district that have not been developed. As for whether the construction will make money, let's see Now the rents charged by these stores and warehouses in Haihe Commercial District are known.

I pay the rent of the store every month, and countless people outside are waiting for high-priced sublets. Some time ago, there was something wrong with Yongsheng Warehouse setting up a bureau to conspire with Wanjia Commercial Firm. The land by the Weihai River in Tianjin is all gold. The shop develops the land and organizes it, this is gold digging!
Also, it provides loan turnover. Where is Wang Tong in charge? Are you afraid that some people will dare not repay the money spent? What's more, in places like Weihai River in Tianjin, where gold is constantly being produced, everyone can't earn interest on borrowed money. ?

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately knew that this newly opened shop was a stable business. The businessman had a calculation in his heart, and now everyone was thinking about whether it was worthwhile to invest in this shop.

"My lord Wang, I have a question and I don't know whether to ask it or not?"

"Ask anything!?"

"Since everyone is a shareholder, how do you calculate the profit earned by the store every year and everyone's dividends!?"

"Since it's a store, everything follows the rules of the store. The shareholders will naturally share the money earned every year. But to continue to develop in the coming year, it is natural to keep a part of the profits in the store. Everything is the same as outside."

Wang Tong replied with a smile again, he didn't care about the rules and etiquette at all, everyone was discussing there, this shop is currently a business that makes no money, and if there is an accident on land or sea, you have to lose money, but this way After all, things are not common, no matter what, they are profitable.

When the time comes for this shop to develop a building, the money collected for this construction is already a big profit. If the rent of the shop and various usage expenses are used, it will be even more profitable. If you invest money in it, the dividends will be very considerable. Wang Tong said loudly on it said:

"Participation is voluntary, withdrawal is free, but the official also made it clear that everything is reasonable and legal, and you can do anything, and the more money you give, the greater the rights you will get. At that time, you will elect seven shareholder representatives , The government also sent two shareholder representatives, and another representative was rotated regularly to monitor other people's behavior... Don't be afraid, the government will send representatives, and the government will give [-]% of the shares, cash delivery, there are special banks The inventory is stored, please check it at any time, it is also for the peace of mind of everyone!!"

Everything was said thoroughly, but the discussion among the crowd remained undiminished. Wang Tong smiled and looked down on the wooden table. After waiting for a while, there was no silence. He waved his hand to the guards around him, and the soldiers shouted loudly for silence. That's the way to suppress the sound.

"There is no rush, everything is voluntary. After a few days, the official will send the detailed rules to everyone. It will not be too late for everyone to decide how much money to pay!!"

Everyone nodded. There is too much information today, and we really need to go back and digest it. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:

"Master Wang, our store is willing to pay 10 taels!!"

The whole place was quiet and silent, and everyone looked over.
