Chapter 309 The old man's prudence ([-])

Regarding the Eight Banners Company, although there is not the slightest rumor between the government and the opposition, all the academicians have known about it for a long time. For more than a month, although the old man has not disclosed the relevant matters to the outside world, he has often communicated with them. All the great scholars discussed the feasibility in private, but no one dared to spread it easily because of the strict order of the old man. The confidentiality work was done to the extreme, but when it comes to the views of this company, they have their own opinions What they hold, they have never reached a consensus. This is the root cause of the old man's delay in issuing instructions on the Baqi company, and it is also the root cause of the old man's summoning of Hongqing today, just to discuss this matter. Make a decision.

Obviously, the question before making a decision has become the key point, but who will come first and what to ask, but it makes all the grand scholars a little uncertain, not for anything else, just because of the standing in front of them. The owner is not a vegetarian, but the well-known "official butcher". Li Guangdi, who has always been known as a tumbler, was overthrown by Hongqing. Where are you going? Ever since, even though the old man had already opened his mouth, the great scholars were not in a hurry to ask questions, and the old man seemed to have no intention of urging them, so the hall fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"Qing Baylor, if I have any doubts, please ask Qing Baylor to answer them. Well, let's put it this way, people in the market say that overseas trade has huge profits, but the risks are also great. The so-called three or four times out of ten, if so, how can we keep it?" What is the profit of the business?"

After the unbearable silence lasted for quite a while, Wen Da, the newly-appointed scholar of the Wenhua Palace, flashed out from the side, cupped his hands at Hong Qing, and asked a question first.

Well, is it still the strength of my own family!

Hearing Wen Da's question like this, Hong Qing couldn't help feeling happy in her heart, nothing else, just because Hong Qing had already heard the intention behind Wen Da's questioning, it was nothing more than a hint to Hong Qing He, Wen Da, was very supportive of the Eight Banners business, and this was obviously in line with Hong Qing's prior judgment. He has always been open-minded, although he has read a lot of poetry and books, he is not the kind of person who only knows what sages say, and has always held a positive attitude towards business circulation. It was Hong Qing who passed by in front of the old man, but at that time, Hong Qing had never been engaged to Hai Lanzhu, which showed her open-minded attitude towards commercial circulation.

"Lord Wen asked a good question. This matter really needs to be explained clearly. After all, sailing in the sea cannot be without risk. There are always storms, and there are also many pirates. If you go in a small boat, it is indeed difficult to be safe. It is possible, however, that the sea-going ship presented by Ben Belle is similar to the tank boat delivered to Hubu before. The luck is too bad, otherwise there will be no disaster of overturning the boat. As for the bandits, my fleet is large and powerful, and there is an escort team accompanying me, so I am afraid of the interception of bandits. There is evidence, and to tell you the truth, Mr. Wen, in November last year, Ben Baylor sent two sea ships full of porcelain, silk and other goods to sail to the South Seas. They have returned smoothly this summer. The goods of the two ships, after deducting various costs, totaled The huge net profit of 45 taels of silver is already ten times the profit. There are still twelve ships going to Nanyang this autumn. The goods needed have been prepared by Ben Bayle through Jiangning weaving and Cao's house. It will take about half a month. Then we can sail far to the South Seas, and we will see how much profit we can make by the end of next summer."

Knowing that Wen Da was helping her to build momentum, Hongqing was happy to take this opportunity to publicize the high profits of overseas trade.

"Your Majesty, if it is true as what Qing Baylor said, the profit of this Eight Banners firm will be safe, and it will be of great help to the rectification of the banner affairs if it is a common firm of the Eight Banners. The old minister thinks it is feasible!"

Wen Da's original intention was to support the Eight Banners Company. The reason why he asked about the profit before he opened his mouth was to build momentum. Now that Hongqing has so cooperatively stated the huge profit, Wen Da immediately beat the snake and followed suit. On the stick, he showed a high-profile attitude of full support.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this fact is inappropriate. Using the important tools of the country to conduct business is not good for education. If the people follow suit, the harm will be serious. Please make a clear decision."

As soon as Wen Da finished speaking, before the old man could react, Wang Shizhen, a scholar of Dongge University, stood up from the side and objected loudly.

"My lord Wang's words are wrong. Overseas trade is inherently hugely profitable, but the cost required is also high, but it is not what the folks can make bigger. It may be difficult to follow suit. Moreover, the goods purchased by the Eight Banners are all from the folks. Although most of the profits from the sale are used for the affairs of the Eight Banners, the folks also benefit from it. There is nothing wrong with this. Third, the Eight Banners business name is owned by the Eight Banners and is not operated by the imperial court. It seems to have nothing to do with the imperial court. As for Speaking of enlightenment, the banner affairs are getting weaker and weaker, and the security of the capital is often poor. If there is enough money to use it, why worry about the flag affairs being incomplete? This should be in line with the meaning of enlightenment? I don’t know if Lord Wang thinks so? "

Hongqing has always had the reputation of being unparalleled in eloquence, so how could she be refuted by such clichés as Wang Shizhen? Similarly, without waiting for the old man to express anything, she refuted Wang Shizhen unceremoniously.

"Qing Bei Le, please forgive me for not agreeing with this statement. You must know that the way of a sage is to educate, and the key to enlightenment is to be strict with yourself. Now that the Eight Banners are the cornerstone of the society, they should have an exemplary image. If the Eight Banners are also doing business for profit , Is there any reason for the common people not to strive to be the first to follow suit? If the world goes down, there will be endless troubles.”

Wang Shizhen was also well-known in the court for his eloquence. Although he had no personal grievances with Hongqing, for the sake of righteousness in his heart, he refused to admit defeat, and continued to retort impassionedly.

"My lord Wang's words are wrong again! The Eight Banners children do not participate in the management, they just enjoy the dividends. As for the specific matters of overseas trade, they must be handled by experts. This is called the separation of ownership and management rights. It can be seen from this that the establishment of the Eight Banners firm should not affect the ethos of the Eight Banners' disciples to practice martial arts diligently, and it is impossible to talk about setting an example!"

Hong Qing wanted to set up the Eight Banners firm for a long time, and it was not a temporary idea. He had already made preparations to deal with all kinds of difficulties. How could it be so rare for Hong Qing to make remarks like Wang Shizhen, but seeing him chuckle With a cry, he mercilessly pointed out the fallacy in Wang Shizhen's words.

"Qing Baylor invited me, and this old man also has a question, so please ask Qing Baylor to clarify."

Seeing that Wang Shizhen was so excited by Hong Qing's words, Ma Qike couldn't stand it any longer. It was not because he wanted to target Hong Qing, but because he was afraid that Hong Qing and Wang Shizhen would not look good when they clashed in court. Standing next to him, he came out and interrupted with a sentence.

"Master Ma, please tell, as long as Ben Baylor knows, Lord Ma must be satisfied."

In fact, Hong Qing didn't want to quarrel with Wang Shizhen, so when she saw Ma Qi stand up to interrupt, she was happy to socialize.

"Since Qingbeile said that the ownership and management rights are separated, how can we ensure that the interests of the Eight Banners will not be damaged?"

Ma Qi is also a Bannerman, so he hopes that the life of the Eight Banners will be prosperous, and he has a positive attitude towards the Eight Banners business. It is fully revealed.

"This matter is not difficult. Ben Baylor has a strategy to ensure the orderly operation of the company. It is called the board of directors, which is the highest decision-making body. There is one chairman and several directors. Since the company is owned by the Eight Banners, the chairman of the board should be selected by the Holy Spirit. The second is the management level, which is the big and small shopkeepers who are responsible for the daily operation. This level of people only manages the daily operation and regularly reports the progress of various matters to the board of directors to ensure that the board of directors is responsible for the company. Overall control; the third is the supervisory committee, which is composed of the non-director candidates recommended by the Eight Banners and the participating candidates recommended by the management, as well as those recommended by ordinary firm partners. It is responsible for reviewing all business projects of the firm and the actions of the board members In order to ensure that there is no corruption of ink, the three complement each other and restrict each other, which should ensure that the interests of the firm will not be damaged, and the dividends of the Eight Banners will also have a reliable guarantee."

When it comes to business matters, Hongqing is very fluent, and without even typing a draft, she has already explained the structure of a joint-stock company and the mechanism of operation in one breath. It's just a cliché, but in this era, it's an extremely advanced management concept. Everyone was stunned and stunned for a long time. I couldn't help but the great scholars were like this, and the old man was also a little stunned.

"Wonderful, this strategy can not only prevent the danger of the Eight Banners' disciples abandoning their martial arts to go to business, but also ensure that the dividends they deserve are quite a lot, and it can also ensure that the business is under the control of our court. It is really a wonderful strategy that kills three birds with one stone. Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is feasible!"

Ma Qi was originally very interested in the Eight Banners Company, and he had a long-standing friendship with Hongqing. Once he figured out the beauty of the joint-stock company's management system, he was happy to vote for Hongqing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is a good thing, but it must be done with caution. If you act too hastily, it will not be beautiful."

With Ma Qi's statement, there are already two votes in favor of Hongqing, and Wang Shizhen has been refuted by Hongqing, so it is not easy to stand up and sing the opposite at this time. As for Zhang Tingyu, who has always been prudent in his words and deeds, as a rule, he would not express his attitude before the old man expressed something, but Yin Tai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who was originally neutral, stepped forward to make some remarks.

"Well, Mr. Yin's words are old-fashioned words for the country. This matter really needs to be verified by multiple parties. Qinger, let's draw up a charter first, and discuss it after the fleet returns next summer."

Seeing that the two most important opponents, Wang and Chen, have been silent, the old man who was already tempted already has his own opinion, but he didn't make a decision on the spot, he just made a vague statement. said a word.

"Yes, grandson obeys the order!"

The old man's mind is nothing more than worrying about doing bad things with good intentions. What he is afraid of is that the real benefits of overseas trade are not as huge as Hong Qing said. Qing saw it clearly at a glance, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she just respectfully agreed.
