Chapter 152: Crazy buying, what does the chicken’s butt mean? (Please subscribe!!)
Zhao Si used his own personal experience to describe the changes in Yong'an Mansion over the years.
"Boss Zhao, I heard you say that your good life depends entirely on the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture?"
"Of course." Zhao Si nodded heavily, "It can be said that if it weren't for Mr. Ouyang, I would probably be out there begging for food now, or I would starve to death and freeze to death."
"Two bosses, when you come to Yong'an Mansion to do business, don't worry about not having enough money. As long as you have a legal and legitimate business, you can apply for a loan from Kaiping Bank. The interest rate is very low, only one penny of interest per year, and If the business is in difficulty, you can also defer or pay interest in advance.”
"The most important thing is to deposit money in a Kaiping bank. Not only will they not charge you management fees, but they will also calculate interest for you!"
"Now Kaiping Bank has opened branches in all the capitals of North Zhili, and also has branches in Liaodong/Shandong/South Zhili and other provincial capitals. It supports large-amount transfer transactions and remote deposits and withdrawals, which is great for business. For people, this is great news!"
After listening to Zhao Si's description, the two foreign bosses were completely shocked.
“Is it really so easy to do business in Yong’an Mansion?!”
"Low-interest loans, deposits and withdrawals in other places, and interest! Oh my god, in the past, we would never have dreamed of this!"
"Two bosses, I said, these are just part of Yong'an Mansion. I remember our Master Ouyang said something, that is, there is no difficult business in the world. I have to say that he did it!" Zhao Si mentioned When he said "Ouyang Lun", his eyes were filled with admiration.
"I grew up from a poor craftsman family with a net worth of several hundred thousand taels. This is a living example."
"As long as the two bosses are willing to invest money, there is absolutely no problem in doubling the business in one year or tripling in three years."
Hearing this, the two foreign bosses suddenly felt that the fine wine and food on the table and the beauties around them no longer smelled good, and their eyes were filled with light.
"Boss Zhao, don't say anything anymore. I'm committed to Yong'an Mansion!"
"That's right, hurry up and introduce us to a few good projects, and we'll start tomorrow!"
If you are not active in making money, how can you still be called a businessman?
"Boss Zhao, can you tell us what we should pay attention to in Yong'an Mansion?"
As he spoke, the two foreign bosses took the initiative to raise their wine glasses and toast Zhao Si.
Zhao Si did not hold it, and happily held glasses with the two foreign bosses, and drank the wine in one gulp. "I really have something to tell you. Although it is relatively free to do business in Yong'an Mansion, you must not do anything wrong." The idea of starting a business, such as human trafficking/fraud/bullying of men and women, etc., and you have to be careful when selling poisons like Wu Shi Powder. If you catch one, you will be beheaded. In addition, you don’t have to worry about the troubles caused by the government officials. But when you go to the Yamen, you have to pay the entrance fee according to the rules, and there will be no other fees."
"One final reminder. You are doing business in Beizhili in Yong'an Mansion. You must not evade taxes. Mr. Ouyang has set up a special team to investigate tax evasion businessmen. The last businessman who evaded taxes will still be in jail. Here you go! If you evade taxes, you will be blacklisted by the government. Not only you, but your entire family will not be allowed to do business."
Hearing this, the expressions of the two foreign bosses changed and they repeatedly said they did not dare.
"We are all serious businessmen, how could we evade taxes! We can't, we can't."
"But... what if someone from the government really makes things difficult for us? This is what we fear the most when doing business."
"That's right, some officials eat people without spitting out their bones. If they commit a trivial matter, they can drain all the wealth of us businessmen!"
At this time, Mao Xiang spoke, "You don't have to worry about this. If you encounter an official who deliberately makes things difficult for you, you can file a complaint with the Chamber of Commerce or go directly to the government office. Not only will the official be dealt with quickly, your problem will also be dealt with quickly. It will also be resolved with priority and rewarded by the government."
"Who is this?"
"He is the vice president of our Yong'an Chamber of Commerce and the founder of Royal Grilled Fish/Jinyi Fried Chicken, Boss Renmao!" Xiaohu introduced with pride, "I am the boss of Jinyi Fried Chicken."
hiss--
When the two foreign bosses heard Mao Xiang/Xiaohu's name, they immediately stood up and saluted.
"It turns out it's Boss Mao and Shopkeeper Hu. I've really admired their names for a long time!"
"That's right, my family lives in Shandong. My wife likes to eat Royal Grilled Fish the most, and my son is always clamoring to eat Jinyi Fried Chicken!"
"Today I finally saw a real person!"
Mao Xiang smiled slightly and waved his hand, "You two are guests of our Yong'an Mansion. Don't be polite. Let's sit down and talk."
He was not surprised by the reaction of the two foreign bosses, because he often encounters this situation now, and every time he is quite useful and satisfied. This is why he would rather give up the commander of the Imperial Guard and stay in Yong'an Mansion as a governor. reason.
This is much more fulfilling than being a royal guard! What's the good thing about being a royal guard? Not only is he licking blood from his knife every day, but he is extremely poor. The key is that he has to figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. If he is not careful, it will lead to an abyss! Mao Xiang had long regarded business as his main business and Jin Yiwei as his side business.
"Vice President Mao, can you tell us a few more words?"
Zhao Si said respectfully.
"Then let me say a few words." Mao Xiang nodded, coughed twice, and said to the two foreign bosses: "You really came to Yong'an Mansion at the right time."
The two foreign bosses immediately pricked up their ears/listened very seriously.
"His Majesty the Emperor has just issued a decree allowing Yong'an Prefecture to go fishing. Now that the Yong'an Fishing Chamber of Commerce has been established, it won't be long before a large amount of marine goods are on the market. If you send these sea goods for sale outside Beizhili, Isn’t this another big profit?”
"The entertainment industry in Yong'an Prefecture is also very developed. As long as it meets the government's requirements, you can open a brothel/gambling house as you wish."
"In addition, the government will support opening shops/building factories, etc. You don't have to worry about not being able to recruit people. You can directly go to the temporary task hall to recruit. The government has already screened the people who can accept the task for you."
"If you still can't think of anything to invest in, you can spend three thousand. Oh, the price has gone up now. You have to spend 5000 taels to go to Master Ouyang's house. He will give you suggestions. Remember not to go in the morning. At that time, Master Ouyang Most of them are still sleeping, so ask around before you go, otherwise you won't see anyone when Mr. Ouyang goes fishing or goes out with his wife."
"As for security issues, you don't have to worry. The people in Yong'an Mansion are strong and the bandits are almost extinct now."
"Finally, if you really want to do business in Yong'an Mansion for a long time, I suggest you buy a property in Xincheng. You will thank me in the future."
"Xiao Zhao, I still have something to do. You continue to receive the two bosses. The cost of today's meal will be charged to me."
"Little Tiger, let's go."
After saying that, Mao Xiang stood up and left the box, and Xiaohu followed suit.
Only after Mao Xiang and the two left did the people in the room react.
"Boss Mao is really a great person among men! He is so classy!" "He is really a role model for us!"
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in private rooms in heaven and earth. Mao Xiang/Xiaohu left the private room and quickly went to another private room, almost saying the same thing again.
Businessmen often have the most sensitive sense of smell.
"Have you heard? Lord Ouyang will make big moves after he becomes the chief envoy!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. I have inside information. This is basically a done deal. Didn't you see that the prefects from all the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Northern Zhili Province came to Yong'an Mansion a few days ago? Do you think it's just a matter of course? To congratulate Mr. Ouyang on his promotion?"
"What kind of inside information are you talking about? I have a friend who is a steward in heaven and earth. That day, all the prefects and prefects from various states gathered together. He overheard that Mr. Ouyang was going to build cement roads throughout Beizhili!"
"Hiss - this is really a big move! Just the construction of cement roads in Yong'an Prefecture created many rich people with a net worth of hundreds of thousands or even millions. This time, looking at the whole of Beizhili, how big the benefits will be. , and how many people have become rich!"
"I also heard that in a few days, several bonds will be listed on the stock exchange market at once. These are endorsed by the yamen of other prefectures in North Zhili and are pledged by the toll rights after the road is repaired. It's all right. High-quality bonds, if you have spare money, don’t miss it this time.”
“I didn’t grab the Yongan bonds when they were released, and I still didn’t grab the Haiphong bonds when they were released. This time so many were released, I don’t believe I can’t grab them!”
"I plan to go to the stock exchange to occupy a position in the next few days. Once the bonds come out, I will buy all the bonds I can buy!"
"Me too!"
stock exchange.
Today is the day when the bonds of other state capitals in North Zhili, except Yong'an Prefecture, are put on sale.
Although Ouyang Lun/Lao Shui had already made it clear, several prefects including Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, and Baoan Zhili Prefecture were still nervous and worried that their bonds would not be sold, so they came to the exchange very early.
But when they saw the scene outside the stock exchange, they were still shocked.
I saw a large number of investors gathered outside the door of the stock exchange. These investors were holding banknotes issued by Kaiping Bank and held them high. As soon as the stock exchange opened, these investors would rush in and use their banknotes to Banknotes buy bonds!
As the stock exchange was about to open, people were already crowding outside the exchange, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Several prefects and prefects had no way to enter the stock market through the main entrance of the exchange, so they had to enter through the back door of the stock exchange.
crunch--
When the time came, countless stock investors poured into the office hall and began to frantically buy bonds from various states. Most of them did not even look at which state issued the bonds. As long as there were bonds, they immediately bought them.
Seeing that all the issued bonds were sold out, these prefects and governors were both delighted and shocked.
"Oh my god. Is this the purchasing power of the people of Yong'an Mansion? It's too scary!"
The prefect of Baoding sighed.
Zhao Tianming smiled and said: "You have misunderstood. Many of these investors are businessmen, and they are also businessmen from other places."
As soon as these words came out, several prefects were even more shocked.
"My lords, don't be surprised. You can often see this on our stock exchange. You will become familiar with it after seeing it a few times."
"People have a strong desire to buy stocks, and the reason is very simple, because buying stocks can really make money, and government-backed bonds are more stable and reliable, and they are the first choice of many people."
Zhao Tianming explained patiently.
"Been taught a lesson!"
"Master Ouyang is really a genius. He can think of such a thing as the stock exchange. This is like a chicken that can lay golden eggs!"
"In the past, it was more difficult for our yamen to raise some money than to go to heaven, but it is so easy in Yong'an Mansion."
"That's right, those businessmen take money very seriously. Letting them take money is like killing them!"
"I didn't expect that in Yong'an Mansion, businessmen and ordinary people would be competing to send money."
Several prefects couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Tianming nodded, "What Mr. Ouyang often says is that when encountering a problem, first open up the situation. If one idea doesn't work, then change to another idea. Basically, more than [-]% of the problems can be solved."
"Judging from today's situation, the funds needed for road construction in various states will soon be available. I have to remind everyone that all this money must be used for road construction. If there is any problem with road construction, when the time comes, Lose your hat and lose your head."
Zhao Tianming did not finish what he said, but with the understanding of these prefects and prefects, they would definitely be able to understand the meaning.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for reminding us. We are working with Mr. Ouyang in order to develop the area under our control and let the people live a good life. We will definitely do this well."
"That's right, Mr. Ouyang has already pointed out the way for us. If we still can't do it well, won't our more than ten years of being an official be in vain!"
Seeing the assurances from several prefects and prefects, Zhao Tianming continued: "Probably tomorrow the Chief Secretary of North Zhili will issue an announcement to launch the "North Zhili Plan", which will involve roads/bridges/in all prefectures in North Zhili. House construction/city wall construction and other major infrastructure, fertile land development/improvement seed promotion/new crop promotion, fishery/custom industry/gambling industry, etc.”
"After you all go down, you must study this announcement carefully and make your own plans based on the actual situation of your state capitals. When the time comes, each state capital will compete in terms of GDP."
"Mr. Zhao, we all understand these policy guidelines and details, but what does this chicken's butt mean?"
A prefect asked quickly.
Zhao Tianming smiled, and then said with a serious face: "It's not the chicken's butt, it's the ground pi!"
"This is a word coined by Mr. Ouyang. It represents the final results of the production activities of all permanent units in a country or region within a certain period. GDP is the core indicator of national economic accounting and an important indicator to measure the economic status and development level of a country or region. , we will evaluate political performance based on this from now on." After saying that, Zhao Tianming asked someone to take banknotes and write the three words "GDP" on the paper.
"It doesn't look like Chinese characters, it's more like some kind of symbol."
"Don't worry about it. Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty even invented the word '曌'. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Ouyang's creation of a few words?"
