"hehe……"

The five masters all laughed, but their hearts were not relaxed. The officials said one thing and did it. The better they said it, the more ruthless they did it.

How could Luo Xin not understand the psychology of these businessmen? He continued, "I plan so much. I just had a rough plan. You can go back and discuss it. I will think about it more these days. If you have any suggestions, you can come and talk to me at any time."

The five masters nodded one after another, but no one spoke, and they all acted like they were extremely serious and listened.

"There are two solutions. One is to contact the vassal states, and then announce what goods the Maritime Bureau needs every month. You will declare, and then the Maritime Bureau will allocate the shares, and then you will raise them to the Maritime Bureau. The Maritime Bureau will check the quality. Those who pass the quality can fulfill the contract. If the quality is not qualified, not only will they return the goods, but they will also be fined. Three consecutive times of quality failure, they will be banned forever to do business with the Maritime Bureau.

This is just an export. The goods transported by the vassal states into the Ming Dynasty were also priced by the Maritime Bureau, and then introduced to you by the Maritime Bureau.

However, whether it is exporting to the vassal states or importing the Ming Dynasty from the vassal states, the Maritime Bureau will draw 30% of the taxes."

After saying that, Luo Xin looked at the five masters, who looked embarrassed. It was nothing if the government draws 30% of the masters. Didn’t they still make 70%?

but……

This is the biggest problem with the government pricing. If the government intends to lower the price when purchasing their goods, and then sells it to the vassal states at a high price, the government will make a profit, and their merchants will make a very little profit. Moreover, there is also a quota issue. At that time, in order to compete for quotas, everyone will probably lower the price. So what else can they make?

What is even more terrifying is that at that time, the government exercises its powers, suppresses the price to the point where the merchants have already lost money, and then levies the share, just like the government collects agricultural taxes, and these merchants will eventually lose their fortunes like those farmers, so they all look at Luo Xin with anticipation and listen to Luo Xin's second plan.

Luo Xin chuckled and said, "Actually, I like this plan the most. This plan is the most convenient for me, just waiting to get taxes."

The five masters of the five great masters said in their hearts: "You are a waste of time and have made a lot of money, so we will lose our family."

Seeing the expressions of the five masters, Luo Xin chuckled again and said, "The second solution is to establish a company with you."

"Company?" The five masters of the big guys showed confusion.

Luo Xin slapped his forehead and said, "The so-called company is to do a business together, for example, we work together to build a grain shop, and then we each occupy a part of the shares of the grain shop."

"Oh!" The five masters nodded, indicating that they understood.

"The government does not invest, but it can be responsible for safeguarding the interests of the Ming merchants. That is to say, the government converts the tax part into shares. Then give you some shares to your five major families. This part of your shares needs to be purchased with money. Of course, it is not for you to give the money to the government and the government collects your money, but for you to take out the money to the company as funds for future purchase of various materials. This company is mainly composed of the government and the five major families, each of which occupies a certain share. However, our six families do not divide all the shares, but only occupy a part, and they also have to take out some shares to sell them to other small and medium-sized merchants. They also have to leave a part of the shares printed into stock coupons. Anyone can buy it. They can get dividends from the company with the stock coupons at the end of each year.

There are some detailed regulations here, such as the shares of the government and your five major families are permanent shares and are not allowed to be diluted."

"dilution?"

The five masters were confused again, and they couldn't understand the new words that were popping up from Luo Xin's mouth. Luo Xin explained with a smile:

"This is to ensure the interests of your five major families, so I made this decision. At that time, the contract was signed, and even if the official left the Maritime Bureau, the officials who later could not change it.

The so-called dilution is like our business getting bigger and bigger, and we are preparing to invest some money again, or some other aristocratic families invested some money, or the court would change in order to protect the interests of the Ming merchants, go to war with Japanese pirates, vassal states, and other factors. For example, the Lu Mansion first occupied 20% of the shares, but for these reasons, it would be necessary to dilute his shares and become 10%."

Lu Ding and others were shocked. If this was the case, the government would dilute the shares for various reasons, and their property would be swallowed up by the government. Seeing the shock on their faces, Luo Xin said lightly:

"When we first established the company, we stipulated that the shares of the government and the five you five were permanent fixed shares, so we didn't need to worry about the dilution of the shares. No matter how the other shares changed, the shares of the government and the five you all remained unchanged."

The five masters all gave a long sigh in their hearts, and they were even more grateful to Luo Xin. At this time, they had already regarded Luo Xin as their own person, because from this measure, Luo Xin was really not here to cheat them, and they had offended Luo Xin before. If they changed someone, they would not tell them the mechanism in this way, and they would lose all their money.

"And!" Luo Xin said seriously: "It is not possible to give you benefits without restraint. First of all, if your shares are to be sold exclusively, they are not allowed to be sold to other people, but to the government and several other major families. For example, the Cui family among you does not want to do maritime trade anymore and wants to withdraw from the company. Or it is not allowed to say that the big merchants in other parts of the Ming Dynasty want to enter the company we jointly established by purchasing the shares you have. If such a thing happens, the company will not recognize the transaction, nor will the identity of the shareholder who purchased the shares, and will confiscate the shares, and confiscate the gold and silver obtained from the sale of the shares of the Cui family, and put the head of the Cui family in prison. If the Cui family just wants to sell the shares, it can only be sold to the government and the other four major families.

The way to sell is to buy it evenly by the government and the other four major families. If there is one that doesn’t want it or needs less, the remaining one will be divided equally by several other companies. In other words, this part of the shares must be in the hands of us, because in the future, all decisions of the company will be decided by us today. Whoever has more shares will be counted. So I don’t want other forces to participate in our decision-making circle.”

The head of the Cui family hurriedly said, "Sir, I won't sell my shares."

"This is just an example." Luo Xin smiled.

"This is a good method!" Lu Ding slapped and said, "We don't need others to participate."

"Yes, yes, that's all of us."

Others also spoke one after another. Lu Ding learned the future prospects from Luo Xin's mouth, while the four masters learned the future prospects from Lu Ding's mouth.

Let's talk about it...

It is certain to make money in the sea trade. They all know that they would not have smuggled for many years. The reason for smuggling was that they did not want the opening of the market of the Maritime Mansion Company before was because they were afraid that the government would be too greedy. Now that they heard Luo Xin's constitution, they have considered all aspects for them. How could they realize that this is a golden rice bowl? How could they let others get a share of the pie?

"You still need to go back and think about this, and don't rush to answer me. And you have to have psychological plans, and you will not give too many shares to each of you. Of course, the government will not occupy too many shares. The Maritime Bureau will become bigger and bigger, and we need more funds, so this part of the funds needs to be absorbed from other small and medium-sized merchants. And..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin became serious and said: "If the government and the five masters completely monopolize the business of sea trade, it will definitely arouse resentment from other merchants in the southeast. Although your five aristocratic families are great and the government is powerful, if all other merchants in the entire southeast unite and foreign merchants intervene, your five aristocratic families will become weak, and they pay attention to doing business with harmony, and we have a lot of profits. The long-term way is to sell part of the profit reasonably."

"Sir, it's reasonable!"

Everyone nodded one after another. Especially Lu Bing was scared. At that time, he thought that even the four major families would kick out and take over the business of the Maritime Warehouse. If that were the case, the Lu family would be at the forefront and would be the entire Southeast...

No!

He was hated by the entire Ming Dynasty merchants, even some aristocratic families, and officials of the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, the Lu Zhi will be destroyed.

"It's still what Lord Luo thinks about for the long term. He is worthy of being the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Of course, the shares occupied by small and medium-sized merchants are different from ours. Their shares can be bought and sold at will, and they don't have to be sold to us. They can be sold at will. Of course, their shares are not permanent and can be diluted."

The fifth master immediately had a look of superiority on his face, and they nodded and applauded. Luo Xin continued:

"We also need to leave a portion of the shares and print them into coupons for sale, so that the entire Southeast can participate, let the entire Southeast contribute to the company they founded, treat the company as their own business, and maintain the company. If the entire Southeast people are united, what else can we be invincible?"

"Okay!" The five leaders of the world applauded.

Luo Xin smiled and said, "This is the second plan. After you five families go back, you can also discuss which plan to choose."

"Is this still necessary to discuss?" Lu Ding said anxiously: "Of course we will choose the second option."

"Yes, yes! Let's choose the second plan." The other four masters also spoke one after another.

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Then you go back and think about this second plan, what suggestions do you have, and how to distribute this shares. Remember!" Luo Xin's expression became serious and said:

"Don't be too greedy!"

"yes!"

Luo Xin picked up the teacup. Seeing this, the five masters stood up and said goodbye. Luo Xin sent them to the gate, and the five masters left. Of course, they did not go back to their own houses, but gathered in the Lu Mansion to discuss the plan for establishing the company.

Luo Xin looked at the leaving carriage and smiled. Behind him were He Nian and Wang Ziren, both of whom looked at Luo Xin with admiration. When he saw Luo Xin turn around, He Nian said with great admiration:

"Sir, you know a lot."

Wang Ziren also said with admiration: "No wonder the adults were able to pass the top scorer."

"Stop flattering!"

Luo Xin cursed with a smile, then walked into the gate. He Nian and Wang Ziren chased after him and said anxiously:

"Sir, this is really not a flattery!"

The two of them chased Luo Xin into the second hall, and saw Luo Xin sitting there with a frown, and asked carefully:

"Sir, aren't what you just told the five major families that are true?"

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "How could the words I said be fake?"

"Then why...you still look worried?"

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed and said, "The Japanese pirates are rampant. Hu Zongxian does not send troops. Other Japanese pirates have also seen Hu Zongxian not send troops. Therefore, more and more Japanese pirates on the sea are surging ashore. Now there are more and more Japanese pirates on the shore. If this continues, the prices will rise. The previous price increase was caused by the malicious intention of the six major families. If prices rise again, it will really rise. Not to mention that the market opens the market, the southeast will be free from chaos and burning incense."

"Then...what should I do?" He Nian and Wang Ziren's faces also changed.

"Tomorrow, the five major families will restore workshops, so we no longer need to monitor mechanics. Moreover, prices have temporarily stabilized and the city of Hangzhou has also stabilized. General Qi and my elder brother no longer have to patrol the city. In this way, even if the Japanese pirates come, we are not afraid."

"But...the food price..." He Nian's face was still full of worry.

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed and said, "Tomorrow, invite the five major families to come and let them transport all the food hidden outside the city into the city. Once the Japanese pirates are too rampant, causing the food prices to soar, we have to ask the five major families to calm the food prices."

He Nian still said with a worried look: "Will those five major families do this? You must know that this is like asking them to throw silver out."

"Let's talk about it later. I'll take this opportunity to see if they can share the hardships. By the way, let's put all the disciples and housekeepers of the five major families caught last time. Well, let them come to see me first, and I'll ask them to bring an invitation back."

Lu Mansion.

The five masters entered the lobby excitedly, and the guests and guests sat down. A maid brought tea and pastries. The head of the Wang family said excitedly:

"We're going to send this time!"

"Yes!" The head of the Zhang family also said happily: "If I had known that Lord Luo had such a plan, why would we fight to the death with Lord Luo?"
