Of course Zheng Chagu's method of making money was learned from Zhu Cihong!
This woman has definitely inherited the money-making brain of "Zheng Chaoren". She can learn all the knowledge about making money in one go, and she can master it in a short time, and she can learn and use it flexibly. This kind of brain is even enviable by Zhu Cixi - if he had this kind of brain back then, he would have been a super rich man long ago!
Zhu Cixiang was also willing to teach her. After accepting her as his concubine, he had been teaching her "the method of changing money" and would also discuss matters with her about the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Later, I saw that she had a talent for financial management and management, so I simply asked her to help review the accounts of the Royal Chamber of Commerce...
"Well, that's what I said..." Zheng Chagu glanced at Wu Sanmei, whose face was ashen - Empress Wu was so embarrassed. It was just that she didn't know Zheng Chagu could make money, but she couldn't even It’s so shameful that Zheng Chagu didn’t even know she was rich.
"Tell me, tell me." Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Tell me where my thirty million taels of silver are?"
Zheng Chagu said: "Your Majesty does not have 30 million taels of silver! Even if you can scrape it together, you won't give it all to the United States, because there are too many places where money needs to be invested."
"No?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes widened even more, "Is the investment in developing the United States of New Continent a lie?"
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "How could the United States of Xinzhou be a fictitious thing? That is what our Ming Dynasty Zuo can rely on for another two to three hundred years!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Sanmei again, and then said: "The powerful are wolves, the common people are sheep, and the soil in the world is grass. If there are more wolves than sheep, a group of wolves will inevitably cause trouble in order to fight for more sheep. If there are more wolves and more sheep, there will not be enough grass to eat... The sheep have no grass to eat, so they can only eat meat! First, the sheep eat each other, and then the sharp-toothed fierce sheep and wolves compete for the world.
To solve the conflict between wolves, sheep, and grass, we can only expand outward and obtain a vast pasture where sheep can graze. In this way, the sheep with no grass to eat and the wolves with no sheep to eat can be sent out, and the Ming Dynasty will be stable! "
Some historians in later generations linked China's dynastic periodicity to the contradiction between man and land. This may not be completely correct, but it made sense in the eyes of Emperor Zhu.
What most Chinese people are most concerned about is eating! "Give me freedom or give me death" is not a Chinese philosophy. Therefore, the "underlying assets" of China's feudal dynasties were actually grain!
As long as there is too much food to eat, there will always be a way to maintain the reactionary rule of the feudal dynasty.
Therefore, the key to how many more years the Ming Dynasty can be inherited as an autocratic dynasty does not lie with the bourgeoisie in Nanjing and Shanghai, nor does it lie in the several "baogan vassal towns" in the north. And is there any way to send hungry and cold people to the United States of New Zealand to eat meat... This is not only a problem for sheep, but also a problem for wolves!
If there is no place for wolves to roam, how can the authoritarian dynasty dare to raise wolves? Then you must make the wolf a pet dog!
But if the Ming Dynasty had half or a small half of the New World to let wolves out, and the wolves that grew up in Pukou and Laoshan needed to go there to bite each other with English wolves, French wolves, Spanish wolves, and German wolves, then there would be no need to The wolf became a dog.
With a group of Pukou wolves and Laoshan wolves that have been bitten by wolves in the New World and the West, the military force of the Ming Central Committee can be maintained for a long time.
With the central force guaranteed, the northern vassal towns will be obedient and available.
Emperor Chongzhen already understood the relationship between wolves, sheep, and grass, but he still didn't understand what Zhu Cixiang's thirty million taels was about!
"Did you invest 30 million?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Of course I invested," Zheng Chagu said, "but only 5% was invested with silver, which is 1.5 million taels. The rest was invested using credit and financial management strategies. You don't have to take any money to invest." Cash out.”
The 30 million taels invested by Zhu Cihong are subscribed funds, and the subscribed funds do not need to be paid immediately. Moreover, the paid-in capital does not have to be in cash. It can also be used to offset the valuation of land, physical objects, intellectual property rights, etc.
In addition, there is a process between subscription and actual payment. The length of this process can be negotiated by shareholders. The bottom line is that in the event of a debt dispute or liquidation, the subscribed funds must be paid in full.
In other words, the subscription of 30 million taels is only the limited capital contribution obligation of the United States of Xinzhou by Zhu Cihong.
Chongzhen and Wu Sanmei blinked, still not quite understanding.
Zheng Chagu continued to explain: "One hundred million taels is just the principal subscription, not the paid-in principal. If it were paid in, it wouldn't be spent! Although Xinzhou is large, it is far away, and the process of investing money in development is inevitable. It will grow slowly. So with five million taels of paid-in capital, we can support the situation."
"How long can five million be used?" Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Do I have to pay it in full after all the money is spent?"
Zheng Chagu did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhu Cixiang.
"Say, keep talking." Zhu Cixiang smiled.
Zheng Chagu then continued: "After the five million is spent, there are three ways to raise money. The first is to ask shareholders to pay some actual funds; the second is to borrow money from banks; the third is... Issue small shares!”
"Issuing small shares? What do you mean?" Chongzhen asked.
"Of course, let the gentry and wealthy merchants pay for it!" Zheng Chagu said, "The ones who are paying now are the nobles who have overcome difficulties. Rich people without titles are not qualified to invest money. Wait until the situation in the United States of Xinzhou improves. After that, you can raise shares from ordinary wealthy people, and then they will be small shares. For example, 10,000 taels per share or 1,000 taels per share, and 100 or 1,000 small shares are roughly equivalent to one large share.
Small shares cannot be given to marquises, but earls, barons, and viscounts can still be given. Small shareholders cannot be hereditary elders, but they can still set up a council to elect members. As for land, it can be awarded based on the number of shares.
With these benefits, it should not be a problem to raise small shares ranging from tens of millions to 100 million taels. And small shares must be paid up immediately..."
Emperor Chongzhen and Wu Sanmei were both surprised.
This is a white wolf with empty gloves!
This is not an emperor, this is simply a profiteer!
Seeing the surprised expressions of Chongzhen and Wu Sanmei, Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "This is all what the tea lady said, I didn't say anything!"
Wu Sanmei frowned and looked at Zheng Chagu seriously: "Sister Chagu, you can just talk about this at home, but you can't spread it outside... If others know that the royal family does this, I'm afraid no one will agree. Invest money in the United States of New Zealand!"
After hearing her words, Zhu Cixi couldn't help but sigh. Third sister is good at everything, but she doesn’t know how to manage money! I hope Zhu Hexing won't be like her...
Wu Sanmei looked back at Zhu Cixiang and then at Zheng Chagu.
The tea girl said: "Sister Queen, do you think those businessmen who can spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a small stock don't know that Your Majesty has not paid up the subscribed capital? Moreover, Your Majesty will not make false accounts to deceive others, and will definitely make it clear. Chu."
"Knowing that they would still invest money?" Wu Sanmei asked.
"Yes!" Tea Girl nodded, "I will definitely rush to invest money!"
"Why are you rushing to invest money?" Chongzhen asked.
"Because you are guaranteed to make a profit without losing money!" Zheng Chagu said, "Although the royal family has not paid up the subscribed capital for the time being, the land, mountains, rivers, ports, and products of the United States of New Zealand are all real... these If the assets are discounted one by one, it will not be hundreds of millions of taels of silver, but tens of billions of taels of silver. Now if you can spend more than 10,000 taels, you can own tens of thousands of the United States of Xinzhou. Of course, you will make a guaranteed profit without losing money. of.
In a business where you can make a sure profit without losing money, of course you have to rush to invest money. If you invest, you will make a profit! "
Just make money if you invest? Is it really that good? Emperor Chongzhen's mind started to change. He still had some private property, so why not invest in it? Earn a little bit of what you invest, and you can be more relaxed with the money in the future.
Wu Sanmei glanced at Emperor Zhu with some complaints, "It's a good deal that's sure to make money without losing money. Why don't you let Wu Sanfu invest in it?" No, we must talk about it carefully later. We must ask the third assistant to invest money, at least five hundred thousand taels...
