Chapter 800: The Road of Zhouxiang
Hello, everyone, I am now bringing you a live broadcast at No. 39 Xilin Street. This is the unveiling ceremony of the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall. The older Donglin people should have seen it. Yes, this is the famous Zhouxiang in Huijiang District. It was the descendant of the Zhou Yu Grand Governor in history who moved here to form a scale. It can be said that history has been long.
Previously, the Zhou family's ancestral hall was also an ancient building from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected fire not long ago, the entire ancestral hall was almost burned into ruins, but in just over a month, the Zhou family quickly rebuilt the ancestral hall.
Compared with the previous ancestral hall, the new ancestral hall is now more magnificent and designed more scientifically. It seems that the Zhou family hopes to prove in this way that the Zhou family has not declined, and the Zhou family wants to open a new chapter!
Now the unveiling ceremony of the ancestral hall has begun. The old man is Zhou Feiyi, the highest-ranking Zhou family. He is a very respected old man in Zhouxiang. Next to him is Zhou Wenhai, the boss of a listed company who walked out of the Zhou family. There are also Zhou Guoping and his lover Wang Fengqin, who also walked out of Zhouxiang. Moreover, the reconstruction cost of the Zhou family's ancestral hall this time is more than one million yuan, which is all his strength, so it is natural for him to unveil the archway.
Now the rumbling drums have sounded, and everyone is focusing on the curtain. They unveiled the curtain. It is not just an unveiling, but a new chapter in the Zhou family!
It was a gilded plaque, with the words on it written by Xu Zhenqing, the master of Binhai calligraphy. The dragon and phoenix dance were majestic, symbolizing that the future of the Zhou family will soar into the sky...
Zhou Ming was stunned at the reporter over there. Unexpectedly, it was just such a simple part of unveiling the ancestral hall. This reporter could say so well that he almost thought he was at some grand ceremony.
However, my parents' hard practice is still very effective, at least they did not make any mistakes when they opened the show with the grandfather and the third grandfather.
After the unveiling, it is time to invite the family tree to the new ancestral hall. There are six newly revised family tree books, which are sent to the ancestral hall by the grandfather Zhou Feiyi and the third grandfather Zhou Wenhai, Zhou Ming's parents, and two selected elderly people.
Originally, the grandfather hoped that Zhou Ming could participate. After all, the money for the reconstruction of the ancestral temple and the renovation of the family tree was paid by Zhou Ming, so this honor should be given to Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming declined because in Zhou Ming's opinion, this matter was done by his elders and his parents were already the limit. If a young man like him came up, it would be really ignorant to show it to outsiders, and it would be a bit messy.
Under the gaze of everyone outside, the Zhou family tree was sent to the ancestral hall and kept in a special box.
The genealogy is not just a mere formality and then hidden. According to Zhou Ming’s plan for the Zhouxiang Development Foundation, printing genealogy is also one of the foundation’s sources of income. When the foundation prints genealogy, anyone can buy the Zhou family tree if they spend money.
This idea was also opposed by the old man at first, because in the eyes of the older generation, the family tree should be sacred, so how can it be sold for money?
Zhou Ming explained to his grandfather that this is not simply selling money, but a kind of publicity for the Zhou family, promoting the inheritance of the Zhou family from ancient times to the present. Our Zhou family tree can be read by anyone. Anyone who thinks he is from the Zhou family is welcome to come back to recognize his ancestors at any time. This is true confidence!
Although it was sold publicly, Zhou Ming did not publish it indiscriminately. After the unveiling ceremony and the delivery of family trees into the ancestral hall, Zhou Ming publicly announced to everyone that the first batch of
The family tree will be printed in two thousand copies and will be sold at a price of 60 yuan per set. Anyone who wants it can go to the Zhouxiang Development Foundation to register, not limited to the Zhou family.
When Zhou Ming said this, it immediately caused an uproar in the scene, because in the eyes of most people, the family tree is very sacred, and only the most respected person in the family is qualified to hold it. However, he did not expect that it will be sold publicly now. Can anyone buy it with just pay?
But at the same time, these people were also very excited because who doesn’t want to recognize their ancestors and who doesn’t want to put a family tree at home? But the price of 60 yuan is discouraged by many people.
This price was specially set by Zhou Ming, and it was not high in later generations. However, in this era when most people earn less than one thousand per month, sixty yuan was enough for most people to consider carefully. Of course, Zhou Ming did not set the price to make money, but Zhou Ming still hoped to set a grade for the family tree. It could not be like street stalls, and anyone could take it home casually.
Another point is that the price is indeed a bit high, but it is not unbearable. Zhou Ming can also use this price to determine who really wants to recognise his ancestors, which is conducive to the development of subsequent work.
In addition to the news of the release of the family tree, Zhou Ming also publicly announced the plan of Zhouxiang Development Foundation to transform into a public fund.
"Just this afternoon, Zhouxiang Development Foundation will formally submit application materials for public funds to the CSRC. Once the license is released, Zhouxiang Development Foundation will transform into a public fund, so anyone present can invest."
Zhou Ming then emphasized: "Please note that this is not a fundraising, but an investment. The foundation uses quarterly dividends to distribute dividends to everyone, so that everyone can be the boss of Zhouxiang Development Fund!"
These people at the scene supported Zhou Ming very much, and many people said on the spot that they would buy the share of Zhouxiang Development Foundation.
It seems that there are still many rich people in the huge Zhou family!
Zhou Ming thought so and then expressed his gratitude to everyone.
However, Zhou Ming was relaxed and happy, but the eldest grandfather Zhou Feiyi and the third grandfather Zhou Wenhai were a little worried. After the ceremony, they pulled Zhou Ming to sit in the ancestral hall.
"I know Zhou Ming, you are doing your best for the Zhou family. Only when Zhouxiang Development Foundation has money can you do things better."
Grandpa Zhou Feiyi changed the subject in a little embarrassed manner: "But none of us understands any funds and finance, what should we do then?"
Third grandfather Zhou Wenhai also said: "Although I have been engaging in listed companies, I am just looking for relationships. We still don't know how to play stocks. I bought some of them while the stock market was very good in the past few years, but in the end I almost lost all of them. Now I am afraid of what kind of fund I have now!"
"You don't have to worry about Grandpa and Third Grandpa. I've considered this issue."
Zhou Ming invited Lin Muqing to come out: "This is Lin Muqing. She specializes in funds in Hong Kong City, and she also has fund companies in China. My plan is to merge our Zhouxiang Development Foundation and her fund company and operate it uniformly by her managers."
Grandpa and Grandpa were still hesitant: "Zhou Ming, we don't trust you, nor do we don't trust the person you recommend, but..."
They were hesitating, obviously they were still a little irritated by giving the family money to outsiders to operate.
Zhou Ming explained to them: "Grandpa, third grandpa, I know what you are thinking. This is not simply giving money to outsiders, but we will not operate investments and save
At the risk of losses and misappropriation, it will be safer to leave it to a special fund manager to operate."
"Of course we don't just leave the money alone. As investors of funds, you have every reason to check the accounts at any time to eliminate the risks you are worried about." Zhou Ming also said, "And you must be really worried, and you can also train our own fund managers of the Zhou family. Let's see who is interested in studying finance in Zhouxiang. We can help."
Grandpa and Grandpa San looked at each other, and Grandpa San said, "Zhou Ming, you have said this. How can we not believe you? You have built the Zhouxiang Development Foundation this time. It means that our Zhou family owes you a favor. I am just worried. You said you want to accept investment from other people. I am worried that those people will not think this is an investment. They will only want money, just like stocks."
Zhou Ming understood what Grandpa San meant. In this era, the securities market had only been open for a few years, and most people were almost completely unfamiliar with the financial field.
You should know that in later generations, some people still think that buying stocks requires making money, not to mention now, people buy stocks and funds for the idea of making a fortune.
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Actually, this is not wrong. I will do Zhouxiang Development Fund according to money funds. This is a completely guaranteed fund. In other words, everyone can get dividends steadily every quarter, but the difference is just the difference between how much money it costs, so I tell you that this is what can make money."
Zhou Ming's words once again shocked the grandfather and the third grandfather, especially the third grandfather who had experienced the stock market. He originally thought that the stock market could make money with stable profits, but he was slapped in the face. Later, he knew that the stock market was risky and it was easy to lose money. As a result, Zhou Ming told him that he could make money with stable profits?
Zhou Ming was embarrassed to scratch his head: "Three Grandpa, in fact, the stock market is just an ordinary market. As long as you understand its rules, you can make money. The operation of this guaranteed fund is different from what you want to invest directly into the stock market. Instead, it ensures a certain proportion of bank deposit certificates and bonds according to a certain investment model, and the extra venture capital appreciation will be added. As long as the risk is controlled within a certain proportion, there will be no losses."
After hearing this, the third grandfather Zhou Wenhai shook his head and said, "It's too complicated. It seems that we old guys can't keep up with the times!"
Grandpa Zhou Feiyi said: "This also shows that our Zhou Ming is so powerful, so it is absolutely right to leave it to him!"
Zhou Ming was a little embarrassed when he was praised. Lianlian said that his surname was Zhou after all, so it was worth it to be able to do something for Zhouxiang.
"But all I can do is this. I don't understand how to use Zhouxiang Development Fund to develop Zhouxiang Zhou's family in the future, and I don't have that much time." Zhou Ming said.
Grandpa Zhou Feiyi patted his chest and said, "This is enough, you can't rely on you for everything!"
The old man then expressed his thoughts: "If Zhouxiang Development Fund can really develop like Zhou Ming, you plan to do it, then my idea is to find a way to build Huijiang Middle School and Donglin No. 8 Hospital next to it, and then try to turn Xilin Street into a real commercial street..."
