Chapter 716 Proposal to build Hong Kong
Jiang Lu's words made all the tribal leaders think deeply. Yes, others have provided money and technology, and even people. What else do they need to provide?
There is no benefit at all, so if others take 80%, what else can I say?
But everyone always thinks it's weird there.
At this time, the South Vietnamese leader said: "That's not right. Since Mr. Jianglu has done everything, why should he come to us? Isn't it obvious that he is giving us money?"
This kind of thing is like gold and silver falling from the sky, it is really unbelievable. "
"Yes." The leader of the Wuyue tribe said, "Master Jianglu, can we know why you did this?"
"The reason for doing this is very simple, for Great Qin, for my father, for my brother, for myself, for the development of Baiyue Land, for you, and for the people of Baiyue Land.
I provide money, people, and technology to build workshops and shops for you. I take 80% of the profit and give you 20%. My efforts are rewarded, and you also pay. What you pay is the land and the workshop. Land required for shops.
There is also security for shops, workshops, businessmen who will do business with you in the future, ordinary workers, etc.
Only in a safe environment will businessmen be willing to do business with you.
Once I build shops and workshops in each of your tribes, it will definitely attract other merchants, and it will also create the emergence of your local merchants.
Or you can train your family members to be businessmen. "
Everyone fell into silence immediately, saying that Lu was too righteous. He was only willing to give them 20% of the benefits for the sake of the court, his father and brother, and the people.
No, they also paid. They paid for land and a safe environment. These require them to spend some money, but 20% is still very good.
Jiang Lu's sincerity was obvious to everyone.
"Master General, I agree to your request. I am willing to take 20% of the profit. I am willing to cooperate with you. I hope you agree." The leader of the Wuyue tribe took the lead in saying.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the tribal leaders asked the general to give them money, people, and technology. They were willing to take 20% of the profits.
For this reason, everyone quarreled endlessly.
Zhang Liang and Xiao He looked at each other in confusion. This general and the young master just had one hand, and just such a chamber of commerce made everyone quarrel. Once it was implemented, there would be no problem in getting them to live in harmony.
Now it can be said that General Lu has taken control of all the tribal leaders, even more so than them.
Xiang Yu didn't expect that he intimidated the tribal leaders to make them obey, but the effect was not as big as Jiang Lu's words. Could it be that the world has really changed?
Just as Xiang Yu was thinking about his wild plan, Jiang Lu spoke again: "Everyone, thank you for trusting me. After the banquet is over, we can sign the contract. Before signing, you can ask about everything about the contract.
Now let me talk about the second thing, which is to form a fleet and then do business with other countries, especially the Maurya Dynasty.
Not only do we do business, we also have many nautical charts, including many islands, and the mainland is unclaimed.
As long as you occupy those places, you will be rewarded as a contribution to the imperial court's expansion of territory. At the same time, you can also establish your own family power on the discovered islands or continents.
In the future, your family's power will spread all over the world. You can imagine how glorious this is. How will your descendants praise your ancestor in the future?
But some of you refuse. When your descendants see other people's wealth and influence all over the world, what will they think of your ancestors? ap.
It's not that the opportunity wasn't given to you, it's just that you didn't grasp it, so if you are reviled by future generations, it's your own fault. "
"Master General." The leader of the South Vietnamese tribe asked, "Is what you said true? Are there really so many islands and continents overseas? Can we really do business with the Maurya Dynasty?"
"That is
Of course, when you are in Guangzhou, you should often see ships. These ships are traveling between Guangzhou and Langya County, and there are many docks in the way. The purpose is to sell goods from Guangzhou to all parts of Daqin, especially Xianyang City.
However, there are only so many goods in Guangzhou City, and there are not many varieties for the time being. If you want Baiyue Land to truly develop, you can only turn Baiyue Land into a world trading center.
The so-called trading center means that all goods will be taken to Baiyue Land for trading.
I have already chosen the location. The emperor mentioned that it is the world trading center, and the annual trading volume may reach tens of millions of taels of silver, or even more.
Therefore, I decided to build this world trading center in the name of the Chamber of Commerce and the imperial court. This place is also called Hong Kong. "
"Hong Kong?" Zhang Liang exclaimed.
"Master Zhang knows about Hong Kong?" Jiang Lu asked curiously.
Zhang Liang nodded and said: "I heard your husband mention that it was an unbearable past. However, I know that once Hong Kong is built at the location you mentioned, tens of millions of taels of silver per year will be considered small. Once maritime trade begins, Hong Kong’s annual trading volume will reach hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
Mr. General, please give me a chance. The Zhang family is willing to join your chamber of commerce and fleet. The most important thing is to let the Zhang family participate in Hong Kong. "
Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang in confusion and asked, "Zhang Zifang, why are you so excited? I'm not like you at all."
Xiao He on the side heard this and said, "It's true that he doesn't look like his usual self, but for him to be so different from his usual self shows that this Hong Kong is not trivial.
Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Zhang Liang have met the Imperial Master here.
Now from what he said, the Emperor's Master said about Hong Kong, and coupled with his performance, this matter is definitely true.
Liu Ji, it seems we have to join in, otherwise we will suffer a lot. "
Liu Bang frowned slightly and said, "We are already very rich now. Even if I lie down every day, I can still have food and clothing for the rest of my life."
Xiao He said: "You have lived a life without worries about food and clothing. Don't you want your descendants to also have food and clothing?"
"This... okay, I'll join too." Liu Bang said helplessly.
Then, he said to Xiang Yu on the other side: "Brother Xiang, I plan to join them, you should join them too, not only for yourself, but for your wife and children, you should also join them.
No one dislikes having a lot of money. Besides, you should need the money the most. "
After Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's join."
In fact, after Xiang Yu came back, his attitude towards Liu Bang changed somewhat, and he did not trust Liu Bang unconditionally like he did at the beginning.
Because Xiang Yu knew that it was Liu Bang who competed with him for the world, and in the end he lost to Liu Bang.
