"Sir, actually we can take less money, or even free money." The scholar surnamed Ding stood up and said with his hands in hand.
Han Du flapped his palms at him several times and motioned for him to sit down.
After he sat down, Han Du said: "I know you all have such a heart, but I'm sorry, I can't accept it. In this life, one must have ideals and beliefs, which is a good thing, but money is also essential, because this It is the most basic support for you and your family’s life. Don’t worry, the academy will be able to pay back the monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.”
Han Du's words moved many of the scholars below, and even the scholar named Ding was deeply moved. It is true that he himself can take less or even no salary at all, but what about others? For example, his good friend, a scholar named Dai, can't let his parents continue to work hard to support him as before, right?
In this way, under Han Du's strong request, the monthly salary of this student, no, these teachers was set at ten guan.
When Han Du said it, he felt happy. But after the instructors dispersed, Han Du's face suddenly fell. He squatted down holding his head and murmured to himself: "One person's monthly salary is ten guan, sixty people are 600 guan, and in one year it is 7,200 guan. This is just the current monthly salary, and it will definitely be there in the future. Increase. For this alone, the academy will spend an additional 10,000 yuan every year..."
You must know that Han Du's current salary is only 1,200 yuan a year. If Han Du only relied on his salary, he would not be able to support the academy.
"It's time to find money. Whether it's yourself or the academy, you have to find new sources of income."
Han Du was thinking as he walked towards the entrance of the academy.
As soon as he walked out of the side door, Han Du saw the entrance of the academy crowded with people. Each of these people was wearing cotton clothes, but they were not just white cotton, but more expensive green cloth. All of them, with fat heads, big ears and big bellies, stood waiting at the entrance of the academy, wiping the sweat from their foreheads with handkerchiefs from time to time.
Seeing a scholar from the academy going out, they hurriedly surrounded him.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I am Yang Baobao, the owner of the Baofeng. If you are willing to give in, the Baofeng will definitely wait for you..."
Before Yang Baofeng could finish his words, he was interrupted with disdain, "Mr. Lu is a great mathematician of the generation, and you are the only one who can hire a leader on the Baofeng? It's simply wishful thinking."
The man who spoke was wearing a green shirt, which showed that he was also a scholar. I saw this person reprimanding Yang Baobao, turned around and bowed respectfully to Mr. Dai in their mouth, and said flatteringly: "I learned that Mr. Lu has no place to stay in the capital, and he is out here making his own decisions. I have purchased a house in the capital. If you don’t want to give up, you can move there now. I heard that the second elder in your husband’s family is already very old. Why don’t I send someone to bring the second elder to the capital so that they can see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty? how?"
Originally, Yang Baobao was scolded, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied. I think he, Yang Baobao, is also a rich man. Not to mention he has a good reputation, but at least he has no shortage of money. But suddenly I heard that this person actually sent him directly to a house, and he was shocked and dumbfounded.
Even if this is a house in the outer city, its value is still around 3,000 guan.
Giving away three thousand guans casually, Yang Baobao wanted to see who was so extravagant.
When Han Du came out, he happened to see this scene. Even Han Du was a little surprised when he heard that he gave away three thousand strings just to invite someone. This made Han Du a little curious about who was so wealthy.
At the same time, there are also some surprises. Someone can pay such a high price to hire a student from the academy. Doesn’t that mean that the students from the academy are worth the price? This also shows in disguise that the academy he established is also successful.
Han Du looked up and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar. He hesitated and stepped forward, pointed at him and asked: "Who are you?"
"Little Chang Hao, meet the Marquis." Chang Hao was a little surprised to see Han Du here, and he came to his senses and said hello quickly.
Chang Hao? Han Du immediately recalled who this young man was.
But at the same time, it was quite strange. Although Chang Hao made a fortune by buying securities, he shouldn't have reached the point where he didn't take a house seriously. How could he give away a house casually?
So, Han Du asked with some confusion: "I'm really impressed by the three-day separation, what? Did you find a gold ingot or a money tree? You don't even pay attention to a house in an outer city?"
"No matter how rich you are, it's all thanks to the Marquis. It's all the Marquis's blessing." Chang Hao said with great joy, but he gave a humble answer.
When Han Du saw his appearance, he immediately understood. It seems that this kid has really made a fortune recently, otherwise he wouldn't be so proud.
Han Du was quite happy to see his acquaintance getting rich, but he was still a little curious as to why he came to Lu Bowen. "Why did you spend so much money to find Mr. Lu?"
"Lu, Mr. Lu is Mr. Lu?" Chang Hao had some understanding, looking disappointed and dumbfounded.
Han Du nodded slightly and said, "Lu Bowen has decided to take up a teaching position in the academy."
"Ah? This, alas~" Chang Hao suddenly sighed, looking helpless and regretting that it was too late.
Seeing that he was immersed in great disappointment, Han Du couldn't help but ask: "You haven't told me yet, why did you find Lu Jiaoxi and pay such a huge sum of money?"
Chang Hao reacted when he heard Han Du's question, glanced left and right, lowered his head and said to Han Du: "Master Hou, there are many people here, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?"
Han Du looked at Chang Hao and nodded slightly in agreement.
Chang Hao quickly pulled Han Du behind the side door of the academy, and then explained: "Master Hou, I don't dare to deceive Master Hou. Ever since I tasted the sweetness of buying securities, I have made up my mind to continue buying. But after all, I have little financial resources. Limited, I couldn’t buy much each time. Then I thought, could I borrow money from others to buy securities? I paid a certain amount of interest to borrow the money, and after cashing in the securities, I paid them the principal with interest. .”
When Han Du heard this, he immediately understood. At the same time, I was filled with emotion about Chang Hao. This guy is a talent. He came up with the prototype of a securities intermediary without any teacher.
It seems that history is indeed a wheel. I just created the securities in order to expand Ming Dynasty's overseas trade as quickly as possible. Then without your own intervention, someone will naturally present the securities intermediary.
The threshold for purchasing securities directly from the stock exchange is too high, and ordinary people are simply not qualified to do so. In this way, there is Chang Hao like this,
Collect small amounts of private funds and then gather them together to purchase securities. Wait until the corresponding ship goes to sea to make a profit, and then cash in the securities.
Chang Hao, who got the real money, would return it to the people with interest based on the original fund-raising situation.
Of course, the interest he gives to the people is definitely far lower than the income that can be obtained from buying securities. In this way, he can get away with nothing and eat the price difference out of thin air.
This guy is a talent!
But what does this have to do with Lu Bowen?
"No wonder you are so wealthy. You can easily give away a house in an outer city. You must have made a lot of money recently, right?" Han Du teased Chang Hao with a smile.
Chang Hao smiled complacently and answered modestly: "It's all thanks to the Marquis..."
Strictly speaking, Chang Hao really relied on the wind he blew to make such a fortune. But Han Du didn't mean to argue with him. He could think that that was his ability. I have never seen that there are more than one million people in this capital. Every time the Municipal Bureau of Shipping holds a dividend meeting, the people are surrounded by three floors inside and three outside to watch. I have not seen any common people think of making money like Chang Hao.
"But, what does this have to do with Lu Bowen? Is it worth paying such a huge price for you?" Han Du was a little confused.
Chang Hao smiled awkwardly and explained with some embarrassment: "Isn't it because the small amount of money borrowed is too piecemeal, which leads to the calculation of interest every time it is cashed out. It is a huge trouble. Not only does each amount of money The amounts are different, and sometimes the interest rates for small promises are also different. In addition, the amount is huge each time, so it is very time-consuming and laborious to calculate it all at once, and there are many times when the calculation is wrong. After several times, As a result, a lot of jokes were made, which not only caused the people to find trouble for small things, but also affected the small reputation.
Therefore, I want to find a math expert to help me solve these problems. "
Sometimes Chang Hao simply doesn't like a small amount of money. But for ordinary people, this cannot be given up and must be made clear.
Moreover, the money was given to the wrong person, and it was better to give more to the people. Chang Hao thought he was unlucky, so he treated it as a gift. After all, he earned more and could afford it.
But once the money given to the people is less, the people will definitely come back to Chang Hao for explanation. Once or twice, Chang Hao could still accept it, but if this happened too often, it would be a huge blow to his credibility.
After all, what he is doing is a business of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. If there is not enough credibility, who would dare to lend him money? You know, asking someone to borrow money is like swallowing a three-foot sword. Once Chang Hao breaks his trust, no one will dare to lend him money no matter how high the interest rate is.
After explaining, Chang Hao sighed, shook his head and said, "But it's too late to say anything now. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is already a teacher in the academy."
Lu Bowen became a teacher in the academy, so naturally there was no hope of being invited back by him.
Han Du thought for a moment, looked up at Chang Hao, and asked, "Do you really want to invite Lu Bowen?"
After hearing this, Chang Hao thought that things had turned around. He quickly surprised the passing Chao Han and bowed to him, saying, "If Lord Marquis can part with me, I will be very grateful."
