The new consortium was named the Noble Consortium, and this name showed that it was different from other ordinary business organizations. At the same time, many shops in Tianjin were returned to Liu Haojia, and the remaining shops will be integrated into several larger stores. But Liu Haojia didn't care, since he heard that he didn't have to worry about renting the shop anyway! Moreover, through his efforts, the nobles also established a board of directors and other related institutions.
After some dizzying adjustments, the entire consortium officially started operations, and it suddenly took over most of the military supplies business in the entire north. It was a good start! Moreover, the rent and deposit returned by Liu Haojia were a large amount of money, enough to cover the initial expenses of the noble consortium!
While these nobles were celebrating, Liu Haojia was also secretly having fun! Because the consortium has just been established, there are so many places that need money! So they negotiated with Liu Haojia, hoping that he would use his shop in Tianjin to become a shareholder.
So Liu Haojia already had 7% of the original shares of the aristocratic business consortium without spending any money! At the same time, he also completed the first loan to the aristocratic consortium on behalf of Lend Lease Bank: two hundred thousand taels of silver!
These two decisions made by the noble consortium are really unwise! They are too superstitious about their own power and think that no one dares to deceive them! So these two decisions are equivalent to opening a hole in the fence and letting in a cunning wolf!
He will eat all the sheep in the sheepfold before he knows it! And by the time they react one day, the aristocratic consortium will probably have been emptied out or changed hands!
When the aristocratic consortium was established, some nobles who were less courageous or had more positive ideas said they would go it alone and did not join the consortium in the end. Moreover, as soon as the consortium was established, it showed the cruel side of capital! They squeezed out some small nobles whose families had too little money, whose ranks were too low, and whose business directions overlapped, completely ignoring the friendship they had shared for many years!
However, Liu Haojia saw that the pleading little nobles were really pitiful, so he made contact with them and introduced them into his consortium in an open and honest manner. While gaining their gratitude, I also expanded my base.
So, after more than two months of busy work, two of the five major consortiums that will be famous in future history have appeared!
After handling all matters in the capital, Liu Haojia returned to Tianjin with a proud mood. Since he had been notified in advance, he received a warm welcome when he returned home! Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying prepared sumptuous meals to welcome him!
The rest time is of course full of tenderness, but after the warm-up is over, it’s time to talk about serious business. Zhang Peijia briefly explained the situation, and it was naturally a good thing! As for the specific details, we will have to wait until the accounts are reported~
Finally, Zhang Peijia said: "Brother, there is one more thing I need you to decide on!"
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "Why, what can be difficult for the two female Zhuges?"
Zhang Peijia sighed and said, "This thing really stumps us! We are two female prostitutes, and it's really hard to make the decision on some things!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia put away his smile and said, "Really? What's the matter? Tell me!"
Zhang Peijia told the whole story. It turned out that when Liu Haojia was busy helping Cheng Guogong and others form a consortium in the capital, although Tianjin was not in chaos, a lot of problems did arise! The main reason is because of the children of each family!
Before the Spring Festival, both civil servants and nobles in the imperial court saw clearly that Tianjin was a good place with abundant financial resources, and they all increased their investment in Tianjin! The eldest son of each family must guard the family property, so the people sent out are the second sons and concubines.
On the one hand, sending them here is because an important place like Tianjin must be guarded by family members. On the other hand, it is also to train these people. Hopefully, after the eldest son takes over the family business, they will have a way out.
But after these people came, apart from occasionally taking care of the family business, they spent all their time playing tricks and running around! If that's the case, that's fine. After all, it's their own money that's being spent, but these people repeatedly cause trouble on the street! Bullying merchants and snatching business have become common things for them!
There was even a group of people openly walking
Horses galloping wildly on the streets caused a lot of trouble! However, Liu Haojia's people did not receive the order, and they knew that their fathers were high-ranking people. If they dared to take action, they would only be able to persuade or make peace with them if they caused trouble! Read the book
But this only fueled the arrogance of these people, and more and more things happened every day. In addition to these things, after these wealthy families came to Tianjin, they began to use various means to rob! They have to find a way to get a good store location, and they have to grab a good business!
Never show mercy when it's time to strike! Even though the civil servants and military attachés usually dislike each other, the civil servants say that the noble military officer is vulgar and unreasonable and only knows how to do everything! But Xungui scolded the civil servants as hypocrites who only do dirty things behind the scenes! Judging from what each of them does, there is no difference at all between civil servants and nobles!
After Zhang Peijia finished speaking, Tan Cuiying added: "After the slave family found out about this situation, they did some investigation and found that it was no longer an isolated case! In the end, they took over several families whose properties had been taken away and placed them in a village outside the city. "
Liu Haojia frowned and said, "Don't the local county magistrates care about these things?"
Zhang Peijia said: "This is the strangest thing! This time the county magistrate of Tianjin took office just before the Spring Festival. He came in a very hurry. Someone must have placed him here specially, and he definitely came with bad intentions!"
Liu Haojia also nodded in agreement, but he didn't know whose interests this represents? After a while, he said: "Who are those families who take away other people's property?"
Tan Cuiying reported many names. Sure enough, they all came from aristocratic families and were well-established in the court and the local area. After the report was finished, she said: "The slave family did not expose their identity when they placed them. They didn't know that the Marquis Mansion had intervened! If the Marquis does not want to interfere, the slave family can just give them some money and send them away!"
Liu Haojia knew that Tan Cuiying was afraid that she would offend too many people and her behavior in the court would be unfavorable in the future. But why did he care about this? He immediately laughed and said, "Don't think about this first! He sent someone to tell them and asked them to write down the matter clearly before talking about it, including the process of filing a complaint to the county government! I'll take a look first. Say it again."
