The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Zhang Shize saw that this thing could make money, so he wanted to partner with Yang Fan.
His thinking was purely yamen thinking. He could get the kerosene from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry at no cost and just give some benefits to the warehouse ambassador. It's simply a business without capital.
But Yang Fan thought differently. This time, he was designed by His Majesty and offended the Xungui Group. Yang Fan wanted to give them some compensation. No matter what, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them, and it is always not good to hang on like this.
"If we want to do it, let's do it on a big scale. This oil refining and selling of lamp oil is a business with sales of millions of taels. How about we bring in all the noble people to do it together. Do they believe that this industry can make a lot of money?" Yang Fan asked.
Zhang Shize is a playboy from the family of a top nobleman, and he understands the thoughts of these noblemen best.
Zhang Shize thought seriously. He said: "In the past few years since you came to Ming Dynasty, the businesses you have started have made a lot of money. The nobles are very jealous, but you are His Majesty's people, so they dare not come to you. You want to say that this oil refining business can make a lot of money, They definitely believe it."
"I have an idea. There's no point in doing it on a small scale. If you secretly get it from the Ministry of Industry, it won't make a big difference. Besides, you've seen that the inventory of several thousand cars in the Ministry of Industry is only two months' worth. What to do when you’re done, close the door.”
Zhang Shize thought about it. This was not a long-term solution. Even if the Ministry of Industry was emptied, production would not be maintained for a long time. Oil must be extracted.
"If we do both oil extraction and refining, the investment will be very large. It is mainly oil well exploration. If we make a mistake, if oil does not come out, we will throw money into the water. The risk is very high. Therefore, we should do more Let some people come and do it together." Yang Fan said.
Zhang Shize was deeply convinced and nodded: "This business is run by our brothers. Normally, there is no need to share it with outsiders. The main purpose of bringing them here is to give them some sweetness so that they don't hate us too much. This time His Majesty is rectifying the Beijing Camp. They have suffered a great loss. They were able to pocket a lot of the military pay from the Beijing camp. Now it’s all gone. We let them take shares as some compensation.”
Yang Fan nodded and said: "This time I am going to adopt a joint-stock system to raise funds. I am preparing to set up an exchange in the capital. I am going to issue stocks to the public, one silver dollar per share. The stocks will be in the form of bearers. First find all the original shareholders and negotiate the equity distribution. , set up a refinery, and then issue stocks on the exchange to raise funds.”
Yang Fan looked at Zhang Shize and the two ladies who didn't understand very well. I explained in detail the concepts of joint-stock systems and limited companies, as well as how they operate.
"This form is good. If the company loses money, it won't affect the family. It's just limited liability." Zhang Shize said. "How big are you planning to do?"
Yang Fan said: "I plan to initiate shareholders to invest a total of 200,000 silver dollars. They will account for 40% of the shares, and the remaining 300,000 silver dollars will be raised from the public. The management of the workshop will be based on the shareholders' board of directors, which will elect the chief shopkeeper and shopkeepers at all levels. , and then they form a workshop management committee. They hire associates, division managers, assistants, foremen and other management personnel at all levels. In short, they talk based on equity."
Zhang Shize said: "This matter is too big. I will go back and discuss it with my grandfather. You wait for my news."
"Okay, if the Zhang family wants to do it, I will reserve the subscription shares for you. Don't worry, if you want to win over Xungui, you will need your grandfather to come forward. We can't do it by relying on the two of us. I guess if they are willing to do it, they will send the bastard in the family. , Domestic slaves come forward to do it. They won’t get stuck on their own." Yang Fan said.
Zhang Shize rode away and went home to have a secret talk with his grandfather.
"Master, we are not short of money, so why do we do it with so many honorable people? When there are more people, there are more things to do. These people are not good people. They will make the workshop a mess. And we don't hold a controlling stake, and many important things have to be coordinated with They discussed that they are not talented in business, and they will be very angry when the time comes." Xiao Niangpi said.
Yang Fan said: "Petrochemical companies require extremely huge funds. They must raise funds from the society. This is the same as the railway. We have a great financial advantage and we have banks. No one is our opponent in financing. In the future, the oil refinery can Through continuous allotment of shares, we can expand the size of the capital stock. We can use other trading companies and workshops to use level-by-level holdings, such as sub-trading companies and grandson trading companies. Use less funds to control a large amount of funds. . There are many ways to control the equity in a covert manner."
Yang Fan is really not afraid of these people from the Ming Dynasty when he plays this. The various modern tricks are enough to kill them.
Hearing Yang Fan talk about the railway, Xiao Niangpi couldn't help but ask: "How is Chen Xi's train and locomotive doing? She spends money like water there, and I have a big book of appropriations here."
Yang Fan sighed and said: "I told her that the train locomotive must use a reciprocating steam engine. She didn't believe it. She insisted on using a Newcomen steam engine. As a result, three prototypes of different designs were built, and they can move. , but it lacks power and can’t pull much, so it’s just fine for transporting people. Now she’s going back to the reciprocating steam engine.”
"Master, you don't care. You can't spoil her like this. All the money is thrown into the water." Xiao Niangpi complained. She is in charge of all the family's property, and money is used everywhere, so she must budget carefully.
"It's not a waste. At least we have worked on other subsystems of the train locomotive, and found many design and material problems. There is still great progress. The power issue can be gradually improved."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said: "I'm not going to wait for her. First, ship a ready-made steam train locomotive from America and build a trial railway. Let Chen Xi see what this thing is. What’s going on, don’t waste your time messing around.”
Previously, Erluzi contacted Yang Fan on WeChat and said that there was a narrow-gauge forest railway in the forest area in the northeast. There are five small train locomotives for sale, which are 0.762 meter gauge.
The train is well maintained and can still be used for a few years. The carriages are also complete. It was originally used for tourism in the forest area.
In the past two years, due to well-known reasons, the tourism industry has received a huge blow. They could no longer sustain it and decided to sell it.
Yang Fan had already agreed and asked the idiot to collect them all, including maintenance tools and accessories. If there were any drawings, he wanted them all. He also bought the rails and sleepers together.
Yang Fan also instructed Er Lengzi that if there are still decommissioned steam engines, they should be put away regardless of whether they can be driven or not. Buy more rails, sleepers and other related equipment and parts.
These old steam engine train locomotives can be used as a reference even if they cannot be repaired.
