Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. Eight

CoM In early March this year, Yang Hao convened a meeting of shareholders of the blanket factory, and the topic was to discuss expanding production outside. At that time, it was civil strife in Tiande Army. There were rumors that Yang Hao was going to send troops to interfere. Because of the lack of military expenditure, he used the excuse of convening a shareholders' meeting to borrow money from everyone.
Because of this, everyone made a private appointment and did not attend. According to the provisions of the "Shareholders Agreement", when the major shareholder presided over the shareholders' meeting, the shareholders who automatically abstained from the right to vote will lose their voting rights. Therefore, although Yang Hao's approach to taking charge of investment on their behalf is a bit domineering, it is within the law. Everyone has nothing to say.
They are now angry with Ma Lida, who spread the rumors. Ma Lida feels that everyone's eyes are glaring at him, and they feel uncomfortable for a moment. Before others can ask, he explains with a sad face: "Oh, everyone, I was also kind at the beginning! The previous officials of Fengzhou asked us how many money we have borrowed and when did we pay it back? Aren't we scared of being cheated? Oh, but who thought that the Grand Marshal was a living Bodhisattva, who was sympathetic to the difficulties of our common people. Not only did he not pull out our hair, but he also took such good care of him. I regretted it to death."
Mali slapped his legs and stamped his feet, and was so annoyed that everyone could only sigh.
Yang Hao smiled slightly, glanced around everyone's faces, and said, "Actually, I don't know what you think: you were willing to invest in the blanket factory, because of your desire to pursue profit; the most important thing is that I am afraid that I will cause trouble for you, 'Don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't fight with the officials', and they all have the mentality of paying money to avoid disasters. In addition, there has been no dividends since the blanket factory was built, which has gradually lost confidence. You take it for granted that the "Stock Shareholder Agreement" that you signed was just a piece of paper, and it was all his tricks of Yang Hao. So if you look for you again, you will not be able to come."
Yang Hao's words reached everyone's hearts, pointed out their little thoughts, and smiled embarrassedly for a moment.
"The blanket factory is my hard work. You have been taking care of me, but you have been taking care of it carefully. I'm here to tell you: Fengzhou blanket factory has made a profit, and you can get three cents of silver per share in your stocks. Now the accounting department is accounting for the accounts day and night, and you will get dividends at the beginning of next month. At that time, it's best not to come!"
There was a burst of laughter everywhere, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.
Mali shouted in surprise: "I bought 230 shares. After a rough calculation, I have seventy taels of silver to make in the past six months! It's a lot more profitable than opening a restaurant! I don't have to spend any effort. Such a good deal is hard to find in the world! Fortunately, I was not blew by the pillow wind at the beginning, otherwise such a good thing would have been missed." Malida patted his chest and said, "In the future, if I have a big horse, I will follow Yang Dashuai. I will do whatever the coach asked me to do!"
The atmosphere became warmer.
Yang Hao waved his hand and signaled everyone to calm down:
"Although I was born in a corps, I haven't read many books or done business, I have understood one thing since I started a blanket factory. I have to understand one thing. I have to rely on three things to think of home: the eyes of money, the hands that grab money, and the courage to manage money. The world is full of gold. If you want to make money, you have to see where the money is. This is the eyes of money. Seeing where the money is, you have to grab it with your hands. Some people grab it quickly, some people grab it slowly, some people grab it with more hands, some people grab it with a small hand but catch it quickly, and no matter what, it is inevitable. When you catch the money, some people spend too much money, some people spend money to make money. Small money becomes big money. It can be seen that if you can catch money, you must be rich. If you have money, you have to be able to manage money to be considered rich, otherwise it is just a wedding dress for others."
Wu Delu, the largest cloth shop owner in Fengzhou, pondered: "What the Grand Marshal said is not right? Everyone wants to make money with money, but one is not easy to find a good way; two is that it is too risky to open a new business with a small capital; three is that except for those who have passed down from ancestors, we start from scratch and have a few spare money like us, we are so old and exhausted, and we have no courage to make trouble. It is a helpless move to eat the whole country."
This statement has resonated a lot.
"What the shopkeeper Wu said makes sense. I heard that when you were young, your family was poor and worked as an apprentice in a cloth shop. You have been doing business for 40 years to achieve today's achievements." Wu Delu was so flattered when he saw Yang Hao being able to tell his experience, so he said, "The old man founded a blanket factory, and the old man also invested 100 shares. If he set up a new factory in the future, the old man will definitely invest in the shares."
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Then we'll just make up for it. I really want to start a new factory." Everyone exclaimed again when they heard this. Wu Delu hurriedly asked, "What is the name of the new factory? What business is it for?"
Yang Hao did not answer him positively, but asked: "Just just now, Zhang Guest Ma said that he invested money in the blanket factory and could pay dividends based on stocks without any effort in the past six months. He has never seen such a good thing. How good I would say, if we raise money to set up a new factory and hire a group of capable people to help us find business opportunities, for example, you can make money in the porcelain business, then we will set up a porcelain factory and hire a shopkeeper
We will pay the profits to be paid to the new factory. We will pay dividends according to the shares. In this way, there are capable people who can help us find business opportunities and use the shopkeeper to help us manage the business, so we don’t have to worry about it ourselves. Small money is not easy to fall apart. It can concentrate small money to make big money, and turn dead money into living money." At this point, he paused, glanced at everyone quickly, and then asked Wu Delu: "I run such a factory. Will Wu buy a stock?"
Wu Delu was stunned, stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly, "The old man must invest in it." When he spoke, his eyes wandered, but he quietly looked at others from the corner of his eyes. Everyone was full of praise, but Yang Hao knew in his heart that what he said was good, and it might not be as straightforward as he did. Everyone was very smart, and everyone had a clear account in his heart. It would take some extra time to ask them to pay for it.
So he gave Wang Rentong a wink. Wang Rentong knew it and asked loudly, "When will the Grand Marshal start such a factory? I am willing to invest 30,000 taels of silver!" This sentence caused a stir. Wang Rentong claimed to be rich in Fengzhou, and his vision was so vicious? His statement made the situation quietly reverse. Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Wang Moshan added fire to him, he raised a finger and said, "Ten thousand, I will invest 10,000 taels." Before he finished speaking, Ma Lida smiled and said, "Brother Wang's huge family business has only paid 10,000 taels, and that brother is going to suppress you." He spread his five fingers and said proudly: "Fifty thousand taels!"
There were screams everywhere. It was said that the real person with a big horse was not showing his appearance. The water in Fuxiang Tower was very deep. I really didn't expect that the move would be so generous, 50,000 taels of silver. It was not just about suppressing Wang Moshan, but even Fengzhou Fu Wang Rentong was suppressed.
The shock brought by the horsepower has not yet dissipated, and another old voice said:
"Twenty thousand taels! The old man wants to pay 20,000 taels! The old man can't compare with Boss Ma, Boss Wang, the old man doesn't want to buy a coffin, and is willing to invest 20,000 taels!" Wu Delu raised two fingers, blushed because of his excitement, and was slightly panting.
Yang Hao held his hand and smiled and said, "The old shopkeeper must do what he can."
Wu Delu smiled and said, "Hey, the old man now understands that the Grand Marshal is a fair man and a capable man. If you follow the Grand Marshal, you won't lose money. Please ask the Grand Marshal to be polite. The old man's two children will not be a good match. If this money is defeated at home, it will be a small one, and if it ruins them, it will be a big one."
Wang Rentong, Wang Moshan, Ma Lida and other people are always close to Yang Hao. Some people still suspect that they are asking for advice. Wu Delu's statement forced people to think again. Wu Delu started from scratch and has been in the business world of Fengzhou for forty years, and is invincible. He is known for his sharp vision and steady behavior. He can always look at a few more steps than others. He does not hesitate when he should take action, and dares to reach out in the nest of snakes and scorpions. When he should stabilize, Mount Tai collapses before his demeanor. The reason why he failed to become a wealthy son in Fengzhou was completely troubled by his two incompetent sons. Even so, he is still a legend and a benchmark in Fengzhou's business world!
When everyone is thinking silently.
Yang Hao coughed softly and said, "There are several business wise men who have helped each other, which has increased Yang's confidence. I will definitely run this factory, and within these two months! The Fengzhou Governor's Mansion and the Xining Army each invest 50,000 taels of silver! The King of the Tiande Army invested 60,000 taels of silver! The Shi Governor of Linzhou invested 20,000 taels of money! In addition, Boss Wang's 30,000, the old shopkeeper's 20,000, Ma's 50,000, and Wang's Mine Master's 10,000, and the new factory has raised 290,000 taels of capital! If you are with Chang'an and Luoyang's aristocratic family, there may be some shortcomings, but in Fengzhou, Tiande, Xiasui, Linzhou, Zhenwu Army, and even Shuofang, you will definitely be invincible! Today I will take this opportunity to say hello to everyone, so that I will not invite you again, and you will not come."
Ma Lida touched his head and asked, "Have you taken the font size of the new factory?"
Yang Hao said: "The font size is Yongchang, and its full name is Yongchang Holdings Company."
Mali asked in confusion: "What is the company?"
Yang Hao thought for a while and replied: "The company is not owned by one or another, and is shared by all shareholders. The new company will establish a shareholders' meeting like a blanket factory, elect the board of directors and the board of supervisors to represent the shareholders' rights and interests. Shareholders obtain stocks by capital contribution, and if there is stock, they have the right to vote. In the future, the company's major affairs will be decided by shareholders' voting. For example, elect the board of directors, the board of supervisors, hire or dismiss the shopkeeper, decide to increase capital, distribute dividends, expand production, etc.."
Although everyone is a little unfamiliar with the word "company", they are not unfamiliar with words such as "shareholders' meeting", "board of directors", "stocks", and "voting". Fengzhou Blanket Factory was founded in accordance with this system. From the initial fear, suspicion and even hostility towards it, to the gradual understanding, acceptance, research and imitation, it has always been the focus of Fengzhou people's attention. Its influence has far exceeded the economic field, and is reshaping people's way of thinking with its own unique charm, secretly leading a change of ideas and culture.
With 215,000 taels of silver as the foundation, everyone felt that this matter was still clear. Many people had begun to be moved, but more people were still hesitating.
Yang Hao was no longer reluctant to leave. He felt that he had said everything he should have said. So he waved his hand and said loudly: "Today is the day when Boss Wang opens a happy opening. Let's not talk about business affairs, go and go down to toast!"
At this time, Li Wei brought over more than a dozen gold-painted porcelain cups, and each of them took one and walked off the platform. Yang Hao also suggested that everyone be in a row and toast every twenty tables. After a round, each of them only drank two wines and was slightly drunk.
After the banquet, Wang Moshan led Yang Hao to his room for a break. Wang Rentong and Ma Lida followed in. The four of them were drinking red. The three of them had a double act with Yang Hao just now, and they still felt a little excited. Yang Hao said, "For the future of Yongchang Company, it is difficult for you." Wang Rentong smiled and said, "They will understand the hard work of the Grand Marshal in the future." Yang Hao said, "I only want to be ashamed of the heavens, the lower part is not ignorant of my conscience, and the middle part is not rude to my friends. As for what the world thinks, I don't care. But, you say, if we do this, can they go on the road?" Ma Li shouted, "Hi, let them do their best! If they don't go on the road, they deserve it. The money is stuffed into their purses and he keeps them unwilling to let them go, who can do it?"
Yang Hao laughed and cast a look of praise. Although Malida's performance today was a bit too much, and it was obvious that it was a support at a glance, it was still very hard-working and the effect was good.
Yang Hao is not very short of money now. Even if he does not absorb private funds, Yongchang Company can do it. The reason for this is to tell everyone the truth is that he thinks that he must have the mind of "not refusing to flow in the rivers and seas" to do big things; the second is to prevent the inherent indifference of bureaucratic capital and the subsequent chronic diseases such as **, inefficiency, monopoly, etc.; third, we naturally have to take this opportunity to bring together the top figures of Fengzhou's two-year-old industry and commerce together and form a rope.
At the beginning of the day, all the people participating in the celebration were removed. After taking a nap for half an hour, Yang Hao's spirits were completely restored. On the way back to Feng'an, he and Wang Rentong took the same car to discuss Wang Yun'er's marriage. Since meeting Meng Bochang at Meishan Mine a year ago, Wang Yun'er was moved and vowed not to marry Meng Bochang. When Meng Bochang was stationed in Yongfeng, she often brought her own cooking food to the army. Although she was so cold that she was still infatuated. When Meng Bochang was transferred to Xia Sui, she secretly ran away from home without telling her parents and ran to the army to find him. Meng Bochang was moved by her true feelings and kept her in the barracks for several months.
Wang Rentong was naturally happy to see the two people's marriage, but Meng Bochang was always lukewarm with him, and he did not dare to see Meng Bochang rashly, and he was unsure of his mind. Wang Moshan advised him to ask for help from Yang Hao, and helped him deal with it. Yang Hao agreed to help. At the beginning of the month, Meng Bochang wished him 25 years old, and Yang Hao sent Ling Tong and Park Enjun to Xia Sui as the birthday envoy, and Ling Tong came forward to finally talk about the marriage. He was scheduled to marry Wang Yuner in mid-August this year.
Meng Bochang is arrogant and Wang Rentong feels that he can't talk to him, so he has to ask Yang Hao to transfer him if he has something to do. Yang Hao became a matchmaker in both families in a daze.
