Chapter 187: The interests are shared (continued)
Yang Xuangan said that Yang Su could certainly see that the reason why he asked clearly was to determine what his son's vision was.
The "Shipbuilding and Investment Administration" specializing in the transportation of steamships actually proposed similar ideas a few months ago, but at that time it was said that this trading company, which is almost the same as the Liangyang Trading Company, would not be established until the Tongji Canal is about to be completed.
But now it's suddenly ahead.
The emperor acted very quickly. When coal mine accidents occurred one after another and public opinion gradually became boiling, he exclaimed the news that the "Shipbuilding Administration of Shipbuilding" was about to be planned. Yang Su could see at a glance that the emperor wanted to use his interests to win over civil and military officials.
The emergence of steamships will inevitably significantly reduce shipping costs, but the premise is that the supply of coal is sufficient, and the frequent accidents in various places are the best excuse for opponents to criticize steamships.
If today I will bring everyone to make a fortune together, whoever dares to block the way for money will be in trouble.
Yang Su couldn't see so much information, mainly because he was tired and exhausted, and he really couldn't stand the dense "technical parameters". Now, seeing his son's true vision, he asked again:
"So, if you have the opportunity, will you invest in the stock?"
"The boy thought there was no hurry."
"Oh? Why is this?"
Yang Xuangan looked through the information and pointed to a map above and said: "The steamship must be put into shipping, but it will not be in scale for several years. Even if there is a fleet, it will definitely be given priority to investing in the Yangtze River route. The Yangtze River is too far for Hongnong."
"In the future, the General Administration of Shipbuilding Investment and Trade will set up a branch in charge of Yongji Canal, and the Tongji Canal route will not be suitable for investment."
"As for the Yellow River, the throat of shipping is the danger of the three main pillars. The information also says that the steamship can't overcome it for the time being, so..."
Yang Xuangan pointed to the Fenshui River Basin in Hedong area and said excitedly: "After the establishment of the branch in charge of Fenshui Shipping is our first choice for investing."
"Bingzhou is rich in coal, and a large amount of coal will inevitably be supplied to Guanzhong in the future. It will continue to transport coal all year round. Steam ships are indispensable for transporting coal. Bingzhou is a frontier area for attacking the grassland. In the future, the government army will rely on the Fen River to transport grain and grass, materials to Jinyang, and then transfer to the front line. Steam ships are also indispensable for."
"So my child thinks that we should concentrate our funds and wait for the establishment of the steamship investment branch in charge of Fenshui Shipping to make a try."
"Fenshui Shipping must have great potential. As long as you can invest in the Steamship China Merchants Group, the annual income will determine the output of the family's manor!"
Yang Xuangan became more and more excited as he spoke. He was originally ashamed of making profits, but he realized that when he was the same person today, he was also cultivating the prince and princes into such people. Even if he was welcomed, he would have to be more careful.
Not to mention that this kind of "financial investment" can indeed benefit yourself and your family a lot.
Looking at the current situation, relying on manor income to support family expenses has gradually become unfeasible. If you don’t seize the opportunity to buy the industry and want to “invest” in the future, it will be nice to have a sip of soup.
Yang Su listened to her son's analysis and suddenly felt that she was really old.
What his son said was that he could figure it out himself, but he felt it was a bit difficult. It was not because he had not enough brains, but because he had learned all his life in front of new things such as steam pumps, steamships, etc., which were really useless.
Fortunately, it is still okay to lead troops to fight. As for operating the industry...
He looked at his son and said earnestly: "Dalang, you should be more attentive about industrial management in the future. In addition, if the tribe members need help, you should also give more ideas."
......
Zheng Yuanshu and Zheng Yuanshu talked with their visiting cousin Zheng Shanguo. The two of them held some information in their hands and discussed the contents of the information.
Not long ago, Zheng Yuanshu returned from his mission to Nanyang. He was appointed before he had a rest. While busy with official business, he was also thinking about how to open up sources and increase income. As grain prices and cloth prices have been falling year by year, relying on the income from his family's manor, he really has not been able to make up his income.
This time, Zheng Yuanshu asked Zheng Shanguo for help and needed his cousin to help him. It was said that he should have visited him, but when he thought of his uncle Cui's stern face, Zheng Yuanshu felt guilty, so he could only ask his cousin to go to the mansion and talk.
Recently, news came from the Political Affairs Hall, that is, the court is about to establish the "Shipbuilding and Investment Administration" to specialize in steamship shipping affairs. This trading company similar to the Liangyang Trading Company is for "official supervision and private management", and the court will pay part of the principal, but most of the remaining funds need to be "invested".
Zheng Yuanchun could see at a glance that this was the emperor's conspiracy. He had to rely on the means of "equal benefits" to win over civil and military officials and aristocratic families as much as possible, so that more people would agree to promote the steamship.
It would be too much for Qingliu to always make a big fuss about the frequent occurrence of coal mine disasters, and would write to the court from time to time to oppose the use of steamships.
People with normal minds should be able to see this kind of conspiracy, but Zheng Yuanshu believes that many people will definitely be happy to get involved, because it is really a way of wealth to invest in the "Shipbuilding Administration" and its industries under their name.
When Liangyang Trading Company issued a public offering, many people did not react to the "stocking" or viewed it on the wall. Later, they saw that shareholders of all sizes made great profits every year, and they regretted it.
Now there is another huge opportunity to make a fortune, and there will definitely be as many people who will subscribe to the shares.
Zheng Yuansong was unwilling to give up this opportunity, but he knew that his financial resources were limited and he could not compete for the powerful and wealthy businessmen, so he chose to "take a small path".
He has insider information. It is said that Rixingchang and other financially-capped cabinet shops will invest in the "Shipbuilding Administration" with huge funds this time. In order to raise funds, these cabinet shops will soon launch new "financial management projects" to attract customers to invest with generous interest and dividends.
It lasts for ten years, with dividends every year, and the principal is returned after maturity, and interest is also available. This is a good opportunity for Zheng Yuanshu to make money.
It is impossible for him to eat meat at the "Shipbuilding and Investment Administration" feast, but by purchasing the financial management project of Daguifang, he can take a sip of soup.
The problem is that you have to pass the threshold if you want to drink soup: the investment amount of this kind of financial management project starts from 100,000 yuan (can be equivalent to physical objects).
Zheng Yuanshu and his younger brothers could not make up so much money. It was not because his family was short of money, but because the remaining money was really not enough, and the land and real estate were impossible to move.
Zheng Yuanshu thought about seeking family help, but the elders of the family were all stubborn and could not trust this kind of "financial management", so he thought of his cousin Zheng Shanguo.
Young people are prone to accept new things, brothers work together, and their profits are cut off. Zheng Yuanchun feels that everyone will raise money together to "manage financial management" and enjoy dividends every year, which is much more cost-effective than maintaining daily expenses based on the output of the manor.
Guanzhong Food Prices have been falling year by year, and the same is true for the distribution price, which has caused the land to depreciate in a sense, but selling land is impossible. Therefore, we must find ways to run industries or invest and manage finances so that we can "open source".
Zheng Shanguo certainly knew the truth about Zheng Yuanshu's manor's income has decreased significantly in recent years, so it doesn't matter to his mother, but he can't stand it anymore.
He worked in the province of the country and was an official in Beijing. He had to interact with his colleagues on weekdays and had various relatives to interact with. Even if a gentleman is as quiet as water, if he is a little concerned, how can he interact with others in the future and maintain connections?
To maintain a decent social show, you have to spend money. Take winter as an example and visit someone else's house. The heating is turned on, the indoor room is as warm as spring, and the guest of honor is thin and not afraid of the heavy snow outside.
As a result, when people visited, they were really a "cold" house, relying on a brazier to keep warm, it was chilly. What is this?
Besides, my colleagues often treat each other to the Lefang and the restaurant to have fun. I went there myself, but I didn’t invite you back all year round. What’s this? I was so poor that I could eat and drink freely?
Zheng Shanguo was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang. As a child of the world's No. 1 family, he did not want to be secretly ridiculed as "poverty". However, living in Chang'an, he spent money like water, and relying on the income from the manor, he had already started to make ends meet.
But his mother Cui didn't care. She thought that to be an official, she had to be a clean official and welcome and send him away. She didn't need to talk about any show or give gifts, but she didn't need much value, as long as her friendship was there.
My mother believed that as long as you reduce unnecessary expenses, don’t have any heating, and rely on the output of the manor to grow grain, plant hemp, spin and weave cloth, and grow fruits and vegetables, you can still be self-sufficient.
What kind of music shops, wine shops, and the place is smoky and chaotic, it’s better not to go there.
Zheng Shanguo was raised by his mother. Now, while being controlled by his mother, he was also confused about the human nature of the world that welcoming and seeing off.
He is already at the age of thirty and needs to have his own opinions, so he needs to find a way to make money.
But Zheng Shanguo knew that it was impossible for him to directly participate in business. On the one hand, it would damage his reputation, and the second mother would definitely not agree. If he sent someone to do the job, even if his mother agreed, there would be no suitable servant at home to be a shopkeeper to handle a residence or shop.
After thinking about it, I could only go to the cabinet shop to save money and earn interest or "investment and financial management". Relying on the annual dividends, it is enough to maintain daily expenses.
Zheng Shanguo privately calculated the calculations and found that the financial management projects launched by Xingchang and other cabinet shops today are indeed very cost-effective, with much more income than the manor. The only problem is that the mother has the final say at home, and the mother is in charge of the money and grain.
He really wanted to invest, but the problem was that his mother was unwilling to do so. He thought it was a bad thing. It was okay to save money in the counter and earn interest. If he took more money to "invest", he would definitely be deceived into losing all his money.
Zheng Shanguo was very worried about this matter. It was not that he didn't argue with his mother. As a result, as long as he spoke louder, his mother would cry in front of his father's tablet. In the end, he always ended with him kneeling down and apologizing to his mother.
The financial path that my cousin Zheng Yuanchun talks about now really touched Zheng Shanguo. Their brothers gathered money to buy Rixingchang's financial management projects. When dividends are distributed every year, the brothers will pay dividends according to the investment ratio, which will benefit everyone.
This kind of financial management that makes sure to make money is unreasonable.
The problem is my mother...
Zheng Shanguo was confused, but it was impossible for him to admit in front of his cousin that he was not keeping his word at home. Facing his cousin's encouragement, he pondered for a moment and said, "I will have to answer this matter in a few days."
