It was originally a sitting posture supported on the table. After Liu Xiang pointed around, he leaned back and sank into the chair again. Those who knew him well, such as Zhang Yunmi and Wang Qiyi, knew that Liu Dafu, who claimed to be "the best in liberal arts among engineers", was going to hang his books again.
"A humble man treats his country with all his heart and ears. If there is trouble in the river, the people will be moved to the east of the river, and the grain will be moved to the river. The same is true for the trouble in the east of the river."
"Feudal lords more than two thousand years ago knew that when there was a natural disaster, they not only had to transport food to provide disaster relief, but also moved the affected population to unaffected food-producing areas. After all, under the ancient transportation conditions, the loss of the transported population The rate is much lower than the loss rate of transporting grain. The Mekong Delta is not only a grain-producing area, but also a mature grain-producing area. More importantly, it can grow three crops of rice a year!"
“And according to information from the Great Library, the drought of the past two years would have caused a large number of people from Guangdong and Fujian to emigrate, as far as the Bay of Bengal and the east coast of India. It was this wave of people who cultivated India’s raw silk industry. "
"Instead of letting them run around and spread industrial technology everywhere, why don't we organize it and move it to specific locations?"
"I think this plan is very good! Can you please help us review the details and improve it?"
Liu Xiang made a "please" gesture and gestured to the other elders. The last one to gesture was Chu He.
This is calling my name! Chuhe received the prompt and immediately stood up.
"This, Mr. Zhou..."
"Hello, Mr. Chu Yuan! Oh, just call me Xiao Zhou!"
"Uh, Xiao Zhou, I want to make sure first. Are you financing the entity 'Nanyang Company', or are you financing the 'Mekong Delta Colonial Development Operation'?"
When the people around him heard this, he was shocked - what he thought at first was, now that he has obtained the financing, he wants to cultivate the land and open mines. What does it have to do with you as a creditor? ! But after listening to the lively discussion at the door just now, it is obvious that many elders are dissatisfied with Nanyang Company's existing shareholding structure! Not to mention the 39% that may be allocated, that is, the 51% that "returned to the Senate", there is someone who can point out the problem! Yuan capital or state capital, this seems to be a huge pitfall if discussed in depth! If this political trend were to start in Lingao, my Nanyang Company would probably have to suspend trading and wait for a conclusion, and would not be allowed to raise money casually! And looking at this situation, it seems that this trend cannot be sustained, because there are many elders who care about the "national body". Not only Ren Youzi in front of him, he can think of several just by patting his head around him! For example, Liu Tom from the electric power system, activist Shan Liang, Xiao Bailang from the Imperial Han faction...
"The investment and benefits of development in different regions are different. This time, the Mekong Delta, which has the highest success rate, will be used as a pilot project!" The surrounding people quickly followed the conversation. As soon as these words were said, not only did Ren Youzi and others nodded secretly, but Ai Zhixin and Meng Xian around Liu Xiang also nodded as well? ! Ah! It seems that financing based on pioneering actions is a right bet.
"The plan is to set up a special project company separately according to the project to be developed, and then use the project company to provide financing."
Project companies often use it when developing real estate. This Nanyang Company's colonization operation can also be regarded as another kind of real estate development.
"Then, let me first introduce the situation of the 'Guangzhou Investment and Development Bank' proposed to the Guangzhou Municipal Government..."
Chuhe began his introduction. In general, the "Yuan Assets Committee", that is, the Elders Foundation, invests 33% to 51% of the shares. Delong, as the largest state-owned bank under the Senate, holds 10% of the shares, and the elders who hold major positions hold 5%. Position shares are limited to voting and dividend use and cannot be resold. The remaining part is mainly financed and co-constructed by local large investors in Guangzhou. Of course, if there are other veterans or veteran institutions who are willing to take shares, they can also join. The entire first phase of investment and issuance is calculated based on 500,000 silver dollars. After Lingao has discussed whether it will be 33% or 51% or some other number, the actual payment will be made in the form of banknotes. In fact, the banknotes used for this payment belong to The super hairy part...
Of course, the local indigenous people will not have more trust in banknotes, so the way to build confidence is why Meng Xian came here today. The surrounding people also received a coded notice from her wife yesterday - the Central Reserve Bank of the Senate will be established in Guangzhou. After Meng Xian joined the discussion late at night yesterday, everyone made a cool move. They planned to turn the lobby of the Reserve Bank into a precious metals exhibition hall, using an entire silver brick wall to create visual effects, and then learn from the operation of the South African gold mine, and make a A large gold nugget of forty or fifty kilograms allows people to "touch the prize". If you can take it out with one hand, you will win!
Guangdong Development Bank's official investment is banknotes, and the precious metals that the banknotes can be exchanged for are in the Reserve Bank. Go and see for yourself!
Then, the work of raising funds from Guangzhou was no longer urgent. We took our time with investment and issuance. The people around us were enjoying the first special loan and could start getting money.
"We hope that for Nanyang Company, at least for this first Mekong Delta development project, all deposit and exchange operations in the mainland will be conducted by Guangdong Investment Bank!"
ah? ! I looked around at Meng Xian, only to find that he looked indifferent...
Can you still play like this? !
Just when everyone around was shocked, "number two" Ren Youzi also spoke.
"Mr. Zhou!" As soon as Ren Youzi spoke, Chu He sat back. "Actually, the whole plan means this. In the name of preparing to build a local bank, we quickly ask the central government, to be precise, Delong, to withdraw about 200,000 yuan in cash, and then we quickly hand over the money. In your hands."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..." As soon as the people around heard the honorific, their hair was boiling, and they quickly waved away.
"Now, it's almost New Year's Day. It's another cold winter this year. According to records, it's going to snow in Guangzhou. Now that you've taken the money, start all preparations quickly. The sooner we capture the mouth of the Mekong River, the sooner we can Achievements. This early rice also takes 90 days to grow, and that is with fertilizer. Think about it, just one harvest of this kind alone takes at least 120 days and four months. Generally, the drought will be fully apparent in mid-July. And it will lead to a serious reduction in production, and you only have half a year to make the full calculation. You still have to complete the preliminary preparation, conquest, distribution, seedling cultivation, sowing, field management, harvesting, concentration, storage, transportation, and even sea transportation... When you arrive in Guangzhou, Once it is in the database, you will have a result for this first period."
"Time is very tight!"
"If the food cannot be transported within the critical time window when the drought forms public awareness and causes actual social impact, then what is the point of this investment?"
"This is not just a business investment, this is clearly a political act."
"Disaster prevention, reduction, and relief, as well as the organizational and combat capabilities demonstrated in these activities, are the destiny of China!"
There was silence all around...
Liu Xiang was also silent... You took away all the words I said yesterday, what else can I say now?
Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Chu He said from his seat: "Considering the manpower problem of Nanyang Company, we here sincerely recommend that the follow-up fundraising work of this colonization operation be entrusted to our Guangzhou Investment Bank. We will cooperate with each other on both sides. Line operation ensures that the expansion and operation of Nanyang Company will not be troubled by funds. Otherwise, if time drags on, the monsoon will be over. Now is not the era of internal combustion engine armored ships!"
From this perspective, the surrounding people actually recognized it - from the time he took the initiative to propose the Mekong Delta, the political significance of this "first battle" had been determined. This was not only the first battle that Nanyang Company must win and succeed. This battle is also a battle that must be won in response to the great cause of drought. The manpower of Nanyang Company is insufficient. Even if the little brothers contribute all their guards and secretaries, it will not be enough to fill the gap of opening two lines at the same time. Spend time first to raise money for a month, then spend another month to recruit and raise materials, and then take advantage of the last north wind to go south... From the perspective of Nanyang Company, it is not impossible, but it has lost its political significance and status. What is the need for Nanyang Company to exist if it only has commercial significance? In other words, why does such an apolitical "national policy company" need to hold a monopoly position? After all, the essence of a “national policy company” is a national policy, not a company.
After being lost in thought, Ren Youzi nodded unconsciously. Ren Youzi knew from the slight movements and expressions that he had "enlightened" and continued to talk about his job.
"During the expansion operation, China Guangdong Investment Bank will comprehensively strengthen its efforts to absorb the silver stocks of large households and carry out large-amount deposit business in a timely manner. Of course, all available funds will do its best to meet the subsequent funding needs of the expansion operation. But it is not This excludes the possibility of investing in other significant upsides.”
Ren Youzi deliberately said something silly, and when he saw that the surroundings had changed slightly, he said again:
"When the first batch of grain arrives, Nanyang Company's strategic execution capabilities and profitability will be revealed. It has a great business reputation foundation, and it does not need the endorsement of the central bank and several resident elders! This This frees up these credit anchors. It just so happens that another proposal of our group is to jointly sign with the local government of Guangzhou to propose that the central government prepares to build the Guangzhou Securities Trading Center. When your first phase of action comes to an end, ours should almost have one. Conclusion. At that time, will your Nanyang company be willing to continue to raise funds through Guangdong Investment and Publication, or to raise funds publicly through the Securities Exchange Center? Or, through the work of the past six months, you have established your own system in Guangzhou and continue to do so. Whether it’s private placement, it’s all possible!”
We are quite satisfied with the autonomy for other subsequent development projects. But the negotiated price still needs to be negotiated...
"Since the main purpose is to resettle the disaster-stricken population, I must mention the difficulty of agricultural development at the mouth of the Mekong River..." The surrounding people immediately changed the direction and described the difficulty of development as the most difficult.
