Who does Lotte Matheson belong to? There is no doubt about this problem. Xiao Letian must have been the biggest contributor. Later generations of scholars have always wanted to decipher the specific share composition of Letian Bank, but no one has succeeded.
From its original beginning as an ordinary trading house engaged in ocean-going trade, Lotte Bank quickly upgraded to a bank, a bank, a securities market, a futures exchange... until it finally evolved into a central bank with the power to issue currency. In this long history of evolution, Over the past few years, the Lotte Chaebol's equity has undergone at least ten major adjustments, and there have been countless small adjustments.
Although this financial monster has been unwilling to show his true style to the outside world, everyone knows that Xiao Letian's family has always been the actual controller, and has always had the largest shareholding.
When Lotte Foreign Company was first born, the composition of the start-up capital was actually very simple. Shopkeeper Fan Yan took out all his family assets of 500,000 taels of silver, while Yiwang Shi Dakai used Taibaiding's holy treasury as equity capital to calculate the amount. For five million taels. Please come to more and faster chapters.
The rest was all Xiao Letian's money. The interest from privately minting silver coins, the money confiscated from Huang Ju's family, and even the spoils after the Ryukyu Kingdom War were all counted as Xiao Letian's share capital. Of course, there is another big gold mine that cannot be forgotten, that is, the capital support provided by the local administrative agencies controlled by Xiao Letian.
The fiscal system of the Qing Dynasty was very primitive. Units at the county level collected taxes from the areas under their jurisdiction. All kinds of loose silver had to be smelted into silver ingots and then deported upwards in two quarters. There is a big time difference that can be exploited. This loophole is as obvious as the crotchless pants of a naked child.
As a time traveler, Xiao Letian couldn't possibly let such a huge advantage go without taking advantage of it. With so much local fiscal revenue, on the one hand, he could make money by privately minting silver coins from broken silver, and on the other hand, he could borrow it. Update as soon as possible
Although the Qing Dynasty had clear time regulations for tax deportation, due to so many years of war, the rules had long been broken. Sometimes the finances were confiscated, and Shangfeng had to give everyone a buffer of time. As time went by, the tax deportation system began to become very confusing.
Yixian County may collect the tax revenue in June, so it can be sent in July. However, if Anxin and Gaobeidian next door cannot collect the tax revenue for the time being, they will have to wait a few more months. This was done so that each place was doing its own thing. As long as the taxes could be paid in full within a year, the emperor would turn a blind eye to other matters. Update as soon as possible
Xiao Letian knows that many systems have been broken in the late Qing Dynasty. Now that the power of local governors is gradually rising, if the local government can send 70% of the tax revenue to the capital, it is already a loyal minister. Anyway, the local government had many excuses to intercept people. Even if they deceived the emperor, it would not be considered a crime of decapitation.
Xiao Letian took a fancy to this loophole and began to work desperately to dismantle it. Today he mobilized 100,000 from the official warehouse of Yi County, and tomorrow he will get 50,000 from Laishui... Anyway, the officialdom has been corrupted by Xiao Letian in more than fifteen counties. , it is a piece of cake to withdraw more than two million taels of cash from these official warehouses at any time.
As for the borrowed silver coins, you don’t need to exchange them at all. You just need to borrow some from other counties to make up for it at a critical moment. Anyway, the days for deporting silver coins are always different in each county. This redemption game has been played for ten years. They may not all collapse. Please come to more and faster chapters.
It was through this kind of defrauding and cheating, coupled with the money obtained from murder and arson, that this empty-handed time traveler actually became the largest shareholder of Lotte Matheson. Of course, Xiao Letian also didn't forget to include a technology stock. The wisdom in his mind must be calculated at two to three hundred thousand cash.
Just such a person who was revered as the God of Wealth Riding a Black Tiger by the Tanggu business community, turned out to be a coward who made money by deceiving Huniu and a weakling in front of Fan Ru.
Xiao Letian was shocked by Fan Ru. He really couldn't figure out whether Fan Ru was still a businessman. Wasn't he even willing to do the most basic information gathering? You have been in Tanggu for more than ten days. If you just ask around, you will know who I am, Xiao Letian. Why are you still looking at me with old eyes?
Xiao Letian just thought that he was Huniu's uncle and wanted to give him some face. If it were another businessman, he would have been kicked out of Tanggu City. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Fan Ru doesn't have the slightest bit of self-consciousness. This old fool has spent his whole life studying and has become stupid. He doesn't know what business is about, or even what it means to be a human being. He only has officialdom in his eyes. In fact, he is just an old fool who wants to be an official.
Fan Jian couldn't bear it anymore. "That's enough, brother, don't go crazy again. Don't mention the matter of buying shares. You'd better take the five hundred thousand silver home and put it in the cellar. As for returning to the family? I've long ago I don’t have any extravagant expectations. I don’t want a family that gives away nieces as if they were red envelopes..."
Fan Yan's categorical tone completely angered Fan Ru. The official and businessman jumped up from his chair and yelled like crazy, "Unfilial, you are unfilial... You are so rebellious, so rebellious. How could the Fan family give birth to such a rebellious person like you..." "
Fan Ru's chest rose and fell violently like a bellows, and the old man's face turned red from suppressing it. "You are so obsessed with it. You are no longer worthy of being a human being by following this second devil. I will immediately update you on what the family has done wrong to you? I am rushing to give you money now." Even if you don’t want it, how long can you, a shabby foreign company like you, survive?”
"Huniu, Huniu, is your brain full of straw? Isn't a girl destined to marry when she is born? It is her honor to be able to bring benefits to the family... You are simply deviant. A woman has What’s valuable? Aren’t you meant to marry someone when you were born? Why are you so stupid!”
Fan Ru was so angry that his Tianling Gai was about to collapse. He couldn't understand what he had done wrong. What is a woman? Women are a disaster. They are born to be sacrificed. What is the value of dying? Why can't my younger brother understand it? What's a big-footed girl worth? This is a man’s world, why do you have to follow a woman’s wishes?
"Pampered, you are so pampered to Hu Niu that you have forgotten the three obediences and four virtues?"
Fan Yan went completely crazy. He grabbed the Qianlong pastel tureen and threw it to the ground with a bang. Broken porcelain and slag flew all over the room. "Get out! Get out of here... I tell you, I will never go back to the Fan family. I want to see if I can create a big family business on my own... As for Huniu, even more You don’t have to worry about it anymore, I would rather give it to Xiao Letian as a servant girl, that’s what I’m happy to do..."
Fan Jian's voice was so loud that he screamed with all his life. Even the pedestrians on the street heard clearly and looked up in confusion. Update as soon as possible
When Xiao Letian saw that his father-in-law was going crazy, he quickly winked at Mr. Long. Mr. Long said nothing, "Okay, two big bosses, please leave! This is Lotte Matheson, and you are no longer welcome..." …”
"You care about me? Who are you? How dare you care about me?" Fan Ru stomped his feet angrily. "This is a foreign company of our Fan family. You, a servant who looks after the house and the courtyard, still dare to attack me? Damn it." This is a crime, I will sue you..."
Regardless of his yelling, Mr. Long grabbed his arm and dragged him out. At this time, the steward next to Fan Ru suddenly took action, grabbing Mr. Long's wrist with his eagle claws like lightning.
"Xiang Shaolong... Lord Long, you'd better be polite to my shopkeeper!" After saying that, he shook his hand and actually shook Lord Long's arm away.
Xiang Shaolong's eyes suddenly narrowed, "Master, I really didn't ask for advice..."
"A nickname is not worth mentioning. I have a steward at Guangde, Sun Sanhu..." The steward clasped his fists, then held Fan Ru's arm and whispered, "Old shopkeeper, that's it for today, let's go back and have a rest. !”
Fan Ru's eyes were now black with anger, which was a symptom of a sharp increase in blood pressure. He was speechless. He just waved his hand and let Sun Sanhu help him leave. He just sighed.
Master Long looked at the disappearing figures of the two men and suddenly said in a low voice, "This person has an extraordinary origin, and has an evil spirit. How can he be a bit like the Sichuan-Tibet area? He is a master, he is really a master..."
Xiao Letian had no time to pay attention to Master Long's whispers. He had already supported Fan Jian on the chair, and at this moment, Fan Jian was so angry that his heart ached. "It's funny, I really made you laugh. I, the eldest brother, always thought that all foreign companies were built with my money. He just wants to pick peaches!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. He is just an ignorant country rich man. How can Shopkeeper Fan Lian do business with foreign businessmen from all over the world? He is so bold! Don't be angry. I'll pat you on the back. ..." Xiao Letian smiled playfully while patting Fan Qian on the back, making the old shopkeeper laugh.
"Sir, don't blame my eldest brother. He is really not the same as us. I have been reading your books during this period, and gradually I understood that everyone lives in a different world. , they appear to be in the same world on the surface, but their hearts are in different worlds..."
"My eldest brother has been a monarch and his ministers, a father and a son all his life. He has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics, ethics and morals all his life. His attitude towards me and Huniu is completely normal in their world. But I can't do it anymore. , I can’t go back. Since I met Mr. Taihang Mountain, what I have seen and heard is something I have never thought of in my life. I am over sixty years old, and I have just come to understand..."
Fan Yan grabbed Xiao Letian's arm and said, "Sir, don't be jealous of my eldest brother. Don't take revenge on him. You are a big shot with eyes on the world, and he is just a rich man from the countryside. Don't argue with him..."
After all, blood is thicker than water. Even if brothers are in trouble, they will still look after each other at critical moments. Fan Jian knew very well that his eldest brother simply couldn't resist Xiao Letian's little finger.
Xiao Letian patted the back of his hand and sighed, "Come on, he is Huniu's uncle after all. I can only take care of him, but I have no reason to cause trouble..."
Just as he was talking, Mr. Long took over and said, "It's not that simple. The manager next to Fan Ru is very problematic. I wonder if you have known him before?"
Fan Yan tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I really haven't seen him before. I heard from my elder brother that he was a new steward he hired. Is there anything wrong with him?"
Long Er sneered and nodded, "If I guess correctly, your eldest brother has been controlled by others... The Fan family is in danger and is already standing on the edge of the cliff..."
