Chapter 139 Kunshan Development Company
"There are such good things?" Gu Dadong was unbelievable when he heard this. He hadn't said that someone was willing to share the money he earned in his pocket to others.
In theory, the donation of 500,000 taels should be directly attributed to the income of Jiangnan Company.
Mr. Zhao wanted to make them an investment, and everyone made money. Such good things are so good that they can’t find with lanterns.
"What is this?" Zhao Haoyun said calmly: "Whether Xishan Company or Jiangnan Company, I have the same idea. It is really good to have everyone. Eat alone alone, and it will never last long."
"Okay!" Gu Dadong slapped his thigh heavily and praised: "I have decided to hand over your brother this to you!"
"Don't be excited for now, listen to me tell you the specific plan." Zhao Hao waved his hand with a wry smile. These gentry didn't look like they were serious about business.
"We all jointly established a Kunshan development company. Jiangnan Company provides all cement and stone, as well as grain for labor-for-relief, which accounts for 50% of the shares, right?"
"Not much, no more." Gu Dadong shook his head and said, "Isn't Datou just these three things? With these three things, you can start construction directly."
"Without the lubrication of local gentry, you will still encounter a lot of trouble." Zhao Hao said with a smile:
"So you invested 500,000 taels and accounted for a quarter of the shares, how about?"
"Can you still disagree? We will do whatever you say!" Gu Dadong said excitedly: "It doesn't matter if you pay more!"
"No need, 500,000 taels are enough." Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "It's enough for us to complete the third phase of the project."
"Phase III project?" Gu Dadong couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that it was not just a north embankment.
"Not to talk about this for now." Zhao Hao waved his hand and signaled him not to go off topic. He said, "There are still one-quarter of the shares to be given to the county."
"Oh, the county still wants to hold a share?" Gu Dadong didn't understand.
"Of course." Zhao Hao said lightly: "First of all, Kunshan Development Company is not a one-time transaction, but will take root in Kunshan, build Kunshan, completely remove the hat of beggar Kunshan, and make Kunshan the number one county in the country. How can it be successful without ten or twenty years? If the county does not have shares, how can it ensure that the future magistrates will support us?"
"Wow..." Gu Dadong was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Hao's goal was so ambitious that it was unbelievable.
"Secondly, let the county share the future profits of Kunkaisi, which can also reduce the burden on the people." Zhao Hao only said it lightly and did not talk to him. Then he asked, "If you have different opinions, just say it."
"No objection, no objection." Gu Dadong smiled and said, "Young Master has considered it carefully, and it is necessary to give the county shares."
For him, everything was picked up for nothing, so there was no need to object. Besides, the magistrate was Mr. Zhao's father, so wouldn't he ask for trouble?
"That guy just agreed?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"Agree." Gu Dadong said with a heavy emphasis: "Don't worry, young master, I will convince the rest of the people, you don't have to worry about it."
"Okay." Zhao Hao stood up and said, "The county will hold the establishment ceremony of Kunkaisi tomorrow. Hold on and show his face on the stage."
"As long, then I'll hurry up." Gu Dadong was full of energy and asked Zhao Hao to stay, so he rushed back excitedly.

After seeing Gu Dadong away, Zhao Hao stretched, but turned around and saw Zhang Jian's expression of resentment.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Zhao asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Jian lowered his head and whispered: "I just think these gentry are taking advantage of it. They will benefit the most from building Shitang, and the master also wants to give them shares in Kunshan Development Company."
"Maybe this is life." Zhao Hao sighed lightly, patted the sixth disciple on the shoulder and said:
"Ninety percent of the land in the county is in their hands. The people are either their tenants or their employers. If they don't stabilize them, nothing can be done."
"Yes, Master, my disciple is extreme." Zhang Jian hurriedly whispered to the teaching.
"How could it be? If you think all this is OK, you are not worthy of being my student." Zhao Hao said to him with a smile:
"Everything we do is to change this situation. And our goal is not only as simple as those who live in their homes, but also those who plough in their land. We must allow ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty to live a wealthy and dignified life."
"Master, will there really be such a day?" Zhang Jian couldn't believe that he was born in the northwest and was used to extreme poverty. Even in Beijing and in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't there any rich people connected by fields, and countless poor people have no place to stand?
The Gini coefficient is so high that there is no hope of change at all.
"If it is, there will be that day." Zhao Hao looked at the vast sky and said with a firm expression: "What we do will sooner or later bloom and bear fruit. By then, everything will change."
"My generation is not good, and your generation is also the reason why the teacher wants to recruit disciples." Mr. Zhao said, looking back at his disciples, his eyes full of hope.
"Yes, Master." Zhang Jianzhong focused his head, his heart full of hope and endless motivation.
"Master, I'm going to Xishan to help!"
"Okay." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
~~
The master and apprentice were having a heart-to-heart talk when they saw Liu Zhengqi coming to the dam.
"Young Master Ri An." Mr. Liu smiled flatteringly, and his tall body was hunched over.
"Oh, are you still in Kunshan?" Zhao Hao was secretly depressed. This nap was completely ruined. "Have you finished your work?"
"I've finished my work long ago. The grain has been put into the warehouse, and I have signed an agreement with Mr. Wu and Kunshan rice merchants." Liu Zhengqi smiled and said, "But I didn't ask the young master for instructions, why dare not say goodbye without saying goodbye."
"So good?" Zhao Hao stretched out his hand, and Liu Zhengqi hurriedly lowered his waist slightly and asked him to pat his shoulder. "Are you afraid of me or the Xu family?"
"The villain now only has a warm and warm respect for the young master." Mr. Liu hurriedly expressed his opinion: "To the Xu family..."
As he said that, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's fake if you don't want to say it."
"Hahaha, don't worry." Zhao Hao patted Liu Yuanwai's shoulder again. "The Xu family will ask for peace soon."
"Oh, my son is so confident?" Liu Zhengqi couldn't help but feel surprised. After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm either suspicious of my son or curious."
"Isn't this obvious?" Zhao Hao sneered: "Su Song inspector obviously did not interfere. The Suzhou prefect also drove the Xu family out of the yamen, and there was no stop in the middle. Xu Kun's case and the preparatory warehouse arson case, so the county can report to Lin Zhongcheng in one go."
"What the villain is worried about is Lin Zhongcheng." Liu Zhengqi whispered: "I heard that he is a general of the Xu Party. Will the Xu family rely on this relationship and be unscrupulous?"
"Hahaha, no. Lin Zhongcheng is selfless. When it comes to his place, he must deal with it impartially." Zhao Hao shook his head apart and laughed loudly: "The Xu family knows this too. If you are really worried, stay in Kunshan for a few more days, and you may be able to see someone from the Xu family."
"Young Master said this, the villain would be shameless and stay for a few more days." Unfortunately, Liu Zhengqi did not understand the magic of Mr. Zhao's great prophecy, and was still smiling embarrassedly, "Otherwise, I would be worried when I went home."
"You can live there." Zhao Hao naturally didn't care. He wanted to tell Jiang Xueying about the futures market, but seeing this guy's instinctive look, he could only talk about it later.
