The businessmen patted the cement wall in disbelief, but Zhao Feng shook his head and asked Sun Peng and Zhou Fei to continue clamping the wall with wooden boards and come back to check tomorrow.
The main reason why these businessmen are willing to participate in this business is to give Yu Ruhai face.
After all, this is a business led by the government, and Zhao Feng has made it clear before that this is a public-private partnership.
If they really participate in this business, they will be considered one of their own in front of Yu Ruhai from now on.
Of course, there are also some businessmen who think that after participating in this business, they may be able to say something in the government and even bring some benefits to their current business.
Zhao Feng knew what these businessmen were thinking, but he did not stop it because he wanted these businessmen to know that this business was not what they thought.
After these merchants all happily paid their money, Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to them.
"Everyone, you will be grateful for the wise decision you made today."
"In addition, I will spend five thousand taels of silver to participate in this business."
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the first person who was shocked was not the businessmen, but Yu Ruhai. He turned his head to look at Zhao Feng in disbelief and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Yu Ruhai had no idea what was going on in Zhao Feng's family. After all, he noticed that Zhao Feng only brought Zhao Feng to him because of Zhao Feng's talent and the possibility that Zhao Feng had some relationship with the fourth prince Zhou Kang.
But now Zhao Feng directly took out five thousand taels of silver, making Yu Ruhai couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Yu Ruhai lowered his voice and said to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, do you really have so much money?"
"How do you have so much money? Don't your family just live in the country?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then laughed twice and said to Yu Ruhai.
"Master Prefect, it seems you don't know me very well? Although my family lives in the countryside, it's just because we want to live there."
"You should know that in our city, there is a family that deals in fabrics, called the Shen family."
Yu Ruhai nodded quickly. Of course he knew how powerful the Shen family was, and he recently heard that the Shen family had returned to the status of imperial merchants. It was a pity that the Shen family's businesses were all in the capital, so their taxes were also mainly It was given to Fengtian.
Otherwise, if the Shen family were here, they would only need to spend some money to pay taxes every year, and they would be able to support the entire city, and they would not need to worry about these taxes like they do now.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and explained to Yu Ruhai.
"Master Prefect, I also have another identity, and that is the business partner of the Shen family."
"I only get 40% of the dividends from the Shen family's business, so you should know that I'm not short of money."
Yu Ruhai couldn't help but opened his mouth and suddenly said to Zhao Feng.
"How about we discuss the matter of marrying my daughter? You can also let her be a concubine!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he quickly dismissed Yu Ruhai's idea.
There was no way, Yu Ruhai only thought that Zhao Feng was quite talented before, but now he realized that Zhao Feng's family was actually so well-off, even richer than him.
Zhao Feng had never shown it before, making him think that Zhao Feng was just a talented outsider from the countryside.
But now I know that Zhao Feng didn't mean to make money by becoming his master, but just wanted to have a springboard to enter the officialdom.
Yu Ruhai shook his head in embarrassment. He had told Zhao Feng shamelessly before that he could make a lot of money by going to the treasury, but it was estimated that Zhao Feng's family had more money than he had in his entire treasury!
The businessmen didn't know who Zhao Feng was, but at this time, Zhao Feng directly took out five thousand taels of silver, which really shocked these people.
What these people don't know is that although Zhao Feng started this cement business to help Huya earn taxes, he also wanted to make this business profitable.
Knowing that this matter would make a lot of money, Zhao Feng would be really a fool if he did not participate in this business.
So this is also the money that the businessmen put out, allowing them to occupy some shares in this business, but Zhao Feng knows that if he wants to firmly hold this business in his hands, then he must be the biggest shareholders.
That's why Zhao Feng spent so much money at this time. Even if someone wants to continue investing later, he will also spend more money to invest in it.
The banquet ended like this. None of the businessmen had high hopes for this business. Only Zhao Feng took the money back to the treasury and calculated all the shares of these people.
Since this business is a public-private partnership, the government office also holds 10% of the shares, while Zhao Feng himself holds only half of the shares.
The other merchants combined account for the remaining 40%!
Seeing so much money entering the treasury, Wang Ping couldn't help but be surprised and quickly said to Zhao Feng.
"Master Zhao, so much money has gone into the treasury, do you really want to use this money to do business?"
"I think we might as well make up some excuse, hand over the money as taxes, and tell those people to pay it forward!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng's face suddenly darkened and he spoke directly to Wang Ping.
"What are you talking about?"
"There are five thousand taels of my own silver in it. If I don't want to do business, how can I invest my own money in this?"
"But you don't have to worry. This business will definitely make a lot of money. You can even earn at least ten thousand taels of silver in two months!"
Wang Ping, Sun Peng and Zhou Fei were shocked. They didn't believe Zhao Feng's words, but they wanted to see how Zhao Feng used the money to make money.
Zhao Feng's time in Fucheng was not in vain. Although he did not collect much tax, he made a clear inspection of the terrain around Fucheng, especially one of the barren mountains, which is rich in the production of cement. of stone.
At this time, after Zhao Feng had calculated all the shares of Shengyi, he went directly to the government office and used part of the silver to buy the ownership of the barren mountain.
Yu Ruhai stamped his official seal on the land deed, and then asked Zhao Feng with some confusion.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you want to buy this mountain for? Is it to plant something?"
