After seeing Zhang Dun, Wu Haogu knew that he would soon leave Kaifeng Mansion again.

Although Kaifeng Mansion is the most prosperous and noisy place in the world, it is also the only city that can find a little sense of home in this era for Wu Haogu, who is accustomed to the life of the metropolis in later generations. But Wu Haogu knows that Kaifeng Mansion is a city without a future! So he had to leave and go to find the future of himself and the country.

It is said that Kaifeng Mansion has no future, not because Wu Haogu determined that the general trend of ethnic minorities going south cannot be changed, but because the geographical location of Kaifeng Mansion determines that its decline is inevitable.

First of all, Kaifeng is a national capital close to the Yellow River. However, the Yellow River is not a natural danger that Kaifeng can rely on, because the Yellow River freezes in winter, and it does not have the same flow and width as the Yangtze River in other seasons. Moreover, the two sides of the Yellow River are flat and flat, and there is no danger to defend at all.

Moreover, the north and south areas of Yanshan, which could originally shield the Central Plains, were lost to the Liao State in the fifth dynasty, and they have not been recovered now, and they will ...... in the future If history doesn't change, you have to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to collect it.

However, there is no danger to defend Kaifeng Mansion is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Yellow River is silting up because of sediment, the riverbed is getting higher and higher, and now it has become a hanging river! That is, the river level is higher than the ground, and it is all up to the dikes to ensure the safety of the plains on both sides.

In other words, once the area along the Yellow River near Kaifeng Province is captured by the enemy, then the Yellow River will become a weapon to attack the city of Kaifengfu.

As long as the enemy calculates the right position and opens the dam of the Yellow River, the river will rush in and destroy the tall walls of Kaifeng Mansion.

Therefore, the construction of a tall city wall is meaningless for the safety of Kaifeng, unless the wall can block the water of the Yellow River......

But even if the city wall can block the water of the Yellow River, there are still more than a million mouths in Kaifeng Mansion!

Don't look at Kaifeng Mansion is located in the plain, and there are many canals leading to the southeast of the plastered land, but the plains around Kaifeng Mansion have become relatively barren due to thousands of years of cultivation, and the output is not enough to support the large population in the city. The canal also faces the two major problems of rising and falling water levels, which require a lot of effort to dredge and maintain water transportation.

Therefore, Kaifeng Mansion itself, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, has been the most headache for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no one!

In Wu Haogu's view, Kaifeng Mansion also has a huge flaw that determines that it is not destined to have a brilliant future - Kaifeng Mansion is a large inland city far from the coastline. Although there are canals connecting the port cities of Haizhou and Yangzhou, the navigability of these canals is very worrying. It is already very difficult to maintain the current population size of Kaifeng Prefecture, and if it is necessary to support the future development of industry and commerce, it is really powerless.

Due to the above reasons, as well as the later history, Wu Haogu is not optimistic about the future of Kaifeng Mansion.

It is only the lighthouse city on the banks of the Jiehe River and Haizhou on the coast of the East China Sea that it is possible to develop into the capitalist capital of the future - if there is no shame of Jingkang in history, the Central Plains will not weaken rapidly, and the economic center will gradually move eastward to the Xuhai and Jinmen regions.

Therefore, the foundation of its own industry is gradually moved out of Kaifeng Mansion, and then implanted in the lighthouse business market, Haizhou and Xuzhou, which is the grand strategy pursued by Wuhaogu at present.

However, this does not mean that Wu Haogu can ignore the industry he owns in Kaifeng Mansion, after all, at least two decades into the future, Kaifeng Mansion will still be one of the world's top drunken gold fans. Wu Haogu could obtain a large amount of money from Kaifeng Prefecture for investment in Dengta City, Haizhou, Xuzhou and other places.

Therefore, before leaving Kaifeng Mansion this time, Wu Haogu must also arrange his own industry in Kaifeng Mansion, and at the same time form a chamber of commerce that can support the development and construction of Jiehe Commercial City (Lighthouse Commercial Market).

Wu Haogu's career in Kaifeng Mansion is currently mainly based on Christie's, which has been established for more than a year. Of course, this business house makes money, and it makes a lot of money!

The accounts of the firm in July of the second year of Yuanfu just submitted by Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai show that Christie's earned a net profit of more than 24,300 yuan in July! The operating income was as high as more than 37,000. In other words, the net interest rate is as high as two-thirds, and it is a real money-making machine!

In addition, the amount of cash on the books of the commercial bank is also extremely large, exceeding 210,000 yuan! Half of them are advance receipts, which are all tricks and tricks from the business income of the "Oiran" album.

By the way, I don't know what the pirates of the Song Dynasty thought, when they pirated the "Oiran" album, they would pirate the original version, not a page was missed. In other words, the twelve pages of tricks in each issue of the "Oiran" album will appear on the pirated book. Therefore, the more pirated copies are sold, the higher the value of the "Oiran" album.

Now the pirates have sold pirated copies of the "Oiran" album to Lin'an, Mingzhou and Quanzhou! Therefore, the "Oiran" who was printed in the album also turned into a big star who was famous in the whole Song Dynasty.

Similarly, Christie's also became famous with the pirated "Oiran" album and became the most dazzling star trading house in the Great Song Empire.

However, compared with the rapid development of the two major business segments of singing and selling and albums, Christie's real estate development (real estate singing and selling business belongs to singing and selling business) business has made relatively slow progress, and the experimental three-storey "tube building" has encountered many problems in the construction.

The building was finally built, and I found a small worker at Christie's to try to live, and after living for less than a month, I encountered a bunch of quality problems. What drainage is blocked, the water supply is leaking, the sound insulation is too poor, and the next door is holding hands here, and I can hear it really! There is also someone who stir-fries a vegetable and a tube of people in the building follow the smell...... In a word, it is four words: the experiment failed!

The traverser will actually fail to open a golden finger! Wu Haogu is really a shame for the traverser......

However, he heard people say since he was a child: failure is a successful mommy, so he doesn't plan to give up on real estate projects.

It's just that Christie's has to be overhauled so that it can better develop all aspects of its business.

The plan to adjust Christie's was prepared before Wu Haogu's wedding, and it was not until August 17, a month after Wu Haogu's wedding, that it was officially proposed at Christie's shareholders' meeting.

Christie's will undergo a complete restructuring and the main business units will become independent sub-firms. At the same time, Christie's head office will be reorganized into a holding firm.

"The name of this holding firm will be the head office of the Republic Bank, which is taken from the harmonious management of the shareholders."

At the shareholders' meeting held at Christie's head office, Wu Haogu talked eloquently about his plan, saying: "As for the shareholding situation of the shareholders of Republic Bank, it is still the same as the original Christie's, and no adjustments will be made. In fact, it is just a change from the brand of Christie's head office to the head office of the Republic of China.

The new Christie's will be developed and expanded on the basis of the original Christie's singing and selling house. The main business is singing and selling, not only the singing and selling of calligraphy, painting, literature and entertainment, but also real estate and fields, chariots, horses and ships, bulk goods, singers and slaves, and so on.

In addition to the new Christie's Bank, there will also be an Oiran Bank under the Republic Head Office. All the albums and engravings under the original Christie's were assigned to the Oiran Company. As for the transaction between Oiran and Christie's, it was coordinated by the head office of the Republic Bank. ”

"Coordination? Do you want to pay? Christie's big shopkeeper Su Dalang interjected at this time.

"Yes." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "In the future, Christie's and Oiran will still be a family for us, and for the stewards in the two lines, they will be two families." ”

"Two families? What's the difference? Mi Youren, a student of Wu Haogu, asked.

"There's a dry stock!"

"Dry stocks?" Su Dalang asked puzzledly, "What is it a dry stock?" ”

"It's fake shares that don't have to make capital contributions and don't have the right to participate in shareholders' meetings, but they have money to pay dividends." "These shares are not real shares, and they cannot be transferred or inherited, and they will be lost immediately after leaving the company.

In fact, dry stocks are fake stocks that are used to trap stewards and important people and make them work for the firm. ”

As soon as Wu Haogu explained, everyone understood, and someone immediately asked, "Then how much should we take out?" ”

"For the time being, there is no need for the head office of the Republic to implement a dry stock system," Wu Haogu said, "Christie's and Oiran must have dry shares, and at most 20% of them...... After all the dry shares were granted, 80% of the profits of Christie's and Oiran went to the Republic Head Office, and 20% went to the dry shares. However, these dry shares do not have to be granted all at once, but must be taken slowly and given to the most important people first. ”

The most important person is, of course, the backbone of technology and business, now Christie's is developing very well, there have been a lot of commercial houses that follow the trend, all want to dig the backbone of Christie's, if there is no dry stock system, I am afraid that many people will be pulled away.

Christie's shareholders know about this situation, so they have no opinion on giving 20% of the profits to dry shares - after all, the profits of the singing and album business are still growing rapidly, and the "loss" of 20% will soon be made up.

"In addition," Wu Hao Gu paused, "there will be several new commercial houses under the head office of the Republic to be responsible for real estate, maritime trade, shipbuilding, winemaking and other aspects......

"Maritime trade, shipbuilding, and winemaking?" Ji Yi, who was a little absent-minded, was taken aback by Wu Haogu's proposal, and asked with a frown, "Chongdao, there is an old saying in the mall that you don't know if you don't know it...... Do you know about maritime trade, shipbuilding and winemaking? Are you sure? ”

At present, there are three main business sectors under the head office of the Republic, among which the record sale and the album are profitable, and although the real estate has encountered some troubles, the prospects are very good. It is the "failed experiment" tube building, if it is built in Kaifeng City, it will definitely be sold.

In Kaifeng City, as long as the price is cheap, there is no house that cannot be sold - there is a house, even if it leaks water and wind, it is better than nothing!

Therefore, shareholders, including Ji Yi, do not care that the real estate business will lose money, but maritime trade, shipbuilding and winemaking are not good......
