Chapter 168 Dividends

Before the artillery was stopped, a new army infantry phalanx set off. Stepping on the drum beat, accompanied by the grenadier march, he began to advance with artillery fire on his back.

Infantry and artillery coordination is something Zhu Youjian has always emphasized. In a modern army, artillery and infantry are the main groups of troops, and only by properly cooperating can greater combat effectiveness be exerted.

When defending, artillery can use long-range firepower to destroy the enemy's established attack. When attacking, artillery can also cooperate with infantry to carry out fire cover and firepower extension.

Therefore, practicing good coordination between infantry and artillery is the basic work of the new army.

Riding the artillery fire above the head, the new army infantry phalanx slowly marched to a distance of 300 meters, and then the drum sound changed. The marching infantry began to raise their guns and shoot. After the shooting was completed, they stood still to reload the bullets, allowing the infantry in the next few rows to march forward.

After the last row of soldiers are launched, the first row of soldiers is just in the turn and then shoot.

Looking at the dazzling queue rotation and listening to the rumbling artillery fire that had not stopped in his ears, the vassal kings on the colonel were already stunned. Among them, the fat King Fu, who was 200 pounds, had almost no blood on his face.

Until the artillery fire stopped and the rushing ended, the vassal kings were still staring at the imaginary enemy who had been destroyed in the schoolyard.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian didn't say anything, waiting for these people to react.

After a while, the dust and smoke on the school ground were all gone before the Liao King stepped forward to worship.

"Your Majesty has such a strong army, and the Eastern Captain is not worth worrying."

As he was talking, the King of Liao burst into tears, and he was talking with tears in his mouth, waiting for the king's army to take back the Liao territory, and then began to accuse the Jurchens of various crimes committed in Liaodong.

Seeing that the theme was a bit off and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhu Youjian stepped forward and helped the King of Liao up.

"I believe Uncle Wang won't wait too long."

Then all the vassal kings who reacted came forward and began to express their opinions, expressing their generation of heroes and their feelings of honor.

After swinging the stick, Zhu Youjian put carrots on the vassal kings.

Because the headquarters building of Xishan Group has not been completed, the first shareholders' meeting of Xishan Group was held in the Xishan Canteen.

Originally, Zhu Youjian wanted to continue holding a shareholders' meeting in the Forbidden City just like the first time, but later he was afraid of causing the court officials to take action, so he decided to put it in Xishan.

Under the Jinyiwei's key care and the New Army's post system, few outsiders enter Xishan, and confidentiality and security are absolutely guaranteed.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhu Youjian ordered people to start an important part of this shareholders' meeting, dividends and dividends.

With the continuous production of various factories in Xishan, the output value of this year has definitely doubled. However, because Zhu Youjian invested most of the profits in military construction and expansion of reproduction, the remaining profits are actually not much.

Twenty percent of each vassal king's investment amount is the dividend amount this time.

Because Xishan Group does not disclose its finances, these vassal kings probably dare not let Zhu Youjian disclose its finances, so the more he scores, the less he scores, was determined by Zhu Youjian himself.

In the organizational structure designed by Zhu Youjian, Xishan Group is a holding group with wool spinning mills, glass factories and soap factories, mainly involving light industrial products.

In addition, the new army, the North Sea Fleet, steel factory, ordnance factory, farm and other key departments are directly affiliated with the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Xishan Group also belongs to the Grand Marshal's Office, so it is said that it is a thing of the past in terms of the company system that Zhu Youjian is familiar with.

Of course, Zhu Youjian would not come up with this complex organizational structure issue with small shareholders such as the vassal kings to discuss it. Anyway, Zhu Youjian holds 51% of the shares, which is absolutely controlling, and it is useless for others to have any opinions.

So judging from the actual profits of these factories of Xishan Group, 20% of the dividends are definitely a loss for these vassal kings. They are all glass produced by glass factories, and the monthly net profit is no less than 100,000 taels.

The vassal kings had first subscribed to 1.88 million taels of silver, and they should have paid dividends of 370,000 or 6,000 taels. The profit of the glass factory in three months was basically enough.

"Because of the Shean rebellion last year, the shareholders' meeting was not held on time, so the dividends this time were 20% of the shares you invested."

Zhu Youjian said, a big red envelope filled with silver notes was distributed.

Although the vassal kings from all over the country had been told that they would pay dividends this time before entering Beijing, no one took it seriously.

‘I took the silver from the emperor’s old son and thought I was the emperor’s son.’

Most of the vassal kings in various places have been passed down for generations or even more than ten generations. The relationship with the royal family has long been five times. They also want to wait for rewards when they were emperors with their fathers. No matter how stupid the vassal king is, he dare not think so.

At first, the vassal kings heard about some dividends, and thought it was just a casual statement from the emperor. It was enough to fulfill the promise when he asked for silver. Even if he gave it, it would probably not be worth a few hundred gold.

So when I heard the emperor say 20% of the stock gold, they looked at each other, their eyes full of inquiries, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

He had a quick mind and did not care about the loss of manners in front of the palace. He secretly opened the red envelope under the table, and then began to rub the silver bill with his hands to figure out how many taels it was.

"Uncle Gui Wang, don't guess at that finger. Just open it and look at it."

Zhu Youjian on the high platform naturally saw the expressions and movements of the vassal kings below clearly. Seeing that King Gui was feeling embarrassed to rub the silver notes, he had a respectful expression on his face and couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

"Display them all and see if they are right. When you leave and return to your fiefdom, you will be wrong and I will not admit it."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry and was still in a joking mood, everyone felt relieved and began to open the red envelope and read it openly.

It doesn't matter. It's all silver notes of more than a thousand taels. Because the Liao King, who had the least shares before, also had 10,000 taels of stocks, his red envelope was 2,000 taels of silver notes.

The vassal kings in Jiangnan, Huguang, Shandong and Fujian basically started at 50,000 taels, so the red envelopes were filled with large silver notes of more than 10,000 taels.

Especially King Fu, in order to show his loyalty, he subscribed 150,000 taels in one go, but this time he received 30,000 taels of silver notes, including King Shu, King Jin, etc., and 20,000 taels.

After receiving the silver notes, the expressions of the vassal kings immediately changed. Although they were respectful before, they were different from now. The expressions now are joy and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
