Chapter 342: The Influence of New Oriental Company
After Wen Tianxiang waited for the white merchant to leave, he suddenly became extremely bored in his heart.
This Guan Chang Guo is in a high position, but his words and deeds are inseparable from making a fortune and women------ how can he be an ambitious person?!
Wen Tianxiang asked, "Commissioner Guo, do you know how many war horses there are on Liuqiu Island?" How many war horses are there on Jeju Island? ”
Commissioner Guo Ziren said with a smile: "I really don't know about this------ it's not my duty, but my brother Captain Mu Mu may know that he manages the logistics of the army on Liuqiu Island!" ”
"Are you talking about ------ baggage?"
"That's right! We call it the Logistics ------ here."
The two left heaven and earth, and Wen Tianxiang competed with him to settle the bill at the counter, but he didn't rob Commissioner Guo Ziren.
It's really not cheap, Wen Tianxiang saw him take out a full five hundred yuan of money!
Commissioner Guo Ziren said indifferently: "If my brother Gu Jianshan comes here, this little money is not enough." Not to mention the high money given to us by the owner of my family, we still have shares ------ money of New Oriental Company, so we don't have to worry about it in this life! ”
Wen Tianxiang knew about New Oriental through the Liuqiu Times, and it was said that they no longer issued shares because the business was very good.
Commissioner Guo Ziren asked the counter to bring a pen and paper and wrote a letter of introduction to Wen Tianxiang.
"Lao Wen, my Zhang Island Master has never asked me to accompany anyone, presumably he values you very much, I will go to work now, you take my letter to my brother, he will treat you well------ remember, it is in the sixth military camp."
After saying that, the two of them each got into a four-wheeled carriage and went their separate ways.
When Zhang organized the establishment of the New Oriental Company, he directly marketed it completely, except for the share of shares he left for his domestic boys, the rest, whoever pays the money will become the shareholder, and whoever has the most shares will be the chairman------ as for the management personnel, he doesn't worry at all, let those who pay the money find it themselves.
At that time, he really underestimated the comprehension ability of the merchants of this era:
What is a company? Isn't this just everyone pooling money to do big business!
What is a manager? Isn't it the shopkeeper's!
The so-called stocks, isn't it just the amount of dividends according to the amount of money paid!
Zhang also underestimated the earning power of the New Oriental Company------ I heard that they could sell white sugar to the Ilkhanate, and they could exchange it for materials and manpower!
This is really something that ordinary businessmen would not dare to do!!
To put it nicely, New Oriental is now a major supplier of human resources------ far surpassing the earlier Huihui traffickers.
Their trading ships were about to reach the island of Madagascar even along the coast of East Africa.
For the sake of the company's dividends, they dared to do business with Tatar robbers and dared to take the initiative to take risks.
Their year-end dividends are huge, and that's when the shareholders are in for a big day.
I heard that there were people outside the stock who bought shares back then who wanted to buy it at ten times the price but couldn't!
The power of example is endless, and the drive for profit is enormous.
Now there are dozens of companies on the island that claim to be something, and they have large and small capitals, some make money, and some lose money.
From time to time, they buy and sell each other in the teahouse.
The quiet master once wanted to build a stock market, but Zhang did not agree, he thought that sooner or later they would build it themselves, and it would not be too late to build a set of rules for them at that time.
Zhang said: "This is the germ of the liberal economy------ let them develop slowly, let's not worry about it first!" ”
The quiet master thought about it and agreed, but if he was in a hurry, he was pulling out the seedlings and helping them grow.
The dividends of New Oriental Company made Director Guo Ziren and President Gu Jianshan live a life of drunkenness, but other domestic boys are not like this.
Captain Mu Mu is a careful person, every time he gives a fortune or shares the dividends of New Oriental Company, he gives it all to his little wife, asking her to set aside the living expenses, and put the rest in the iron cabinet at home.
He won't save money to ask for money, it's safe to save there, but it's not appropriate to charge money there.
He tasted the sweetness of stock dividends, but unfortunately he could no longer buy shares of New Oriental------ so he turned his attention to other companies.
He won't buy their stocks indiscriminately, he has to analyze their strength, look at their management, and then look at their business prospects------ and then go to a few teahouses to buy some if he sees it!
The results are not bad, and his and his wife's fortunes are almost always growing.
Of course, he did not relax his logistical management.
He and Captain Mei Lezhi are now in charge of logistics in Shandong Province and Liuqiu Island on the other, and the two cooperate well.
On this day, he suddenly received a report from the guards at the gate of the barracks that someone had asked to see him.
He put down the logistics account book in his hand and took the letter from the guard.
He recognized Director Guo Ziren's chicken feet at a glance.
Wen Tianxiang? Haven't heard of this person? Why does Island Master Zhang value him so much? Why did Guo Ziren ask him to come to me?
Captain Mu Mu pondered for a moment, but let him in.
While Wen Tianxiang was waiting outside, he carefully observed this so-called Sixth Military Camp.
I don't know how far this barracks is, and there is no end in sight on the left and right sides of the cast-iron fence.
The gate was guarded by six guards, all of them straight and unsmiling.
Wen Tianxiang observed the soldiers of the Liuqiu Guards up close for the first time, but when he saw that their uniforms were not the same as those of the patrolmen, and they had different insignia on their shoulders and arms, he couldn't figure out what those meant for a while.
The firecrackers they carried on their shoulders seemed to be different from the Lu family's army, there was no firerope, and there were long daggers stuck in the front of the barrels!
While he was about to take a closer look, the guard who had gone in to tell the news came out and led him into the barracks.
Turning past a long row of tin houses, he saw dozens of four-wheeled carriages carrying long wooden boxes coming and going in an orderly manner.
He couldn't see what was in the box, but he saw some of the soldiers unloaded from under the cart and carried it into the long tin house in pairs, or they were carried out of other houses in groups of two and loaded onto the empty cart.
He immediately understood the benefits of using that long box uniformly, which was easy to transport!
After turning a long row of tin houses, I saw a large chimney ten feet high, billowing black smoke.
There was a clanging sound from the rows of houses below the big chimney, presumably from the Arsenal of the Liuqiu Guards------
The guard quickly took him to Captain Mumu's two-story office building, went upstairs and knocked on the door to report, then gave a strange military salute and closed the door and left.
Wen Tianxiang saw a young officer, who smiled and warmly beckoned him to sit on the Liuqiu-style soft belly.
He saw a curtain hanging on the opposite wall, presumably a military map, which was inconvenient for others to know.
The officer sat behind a table, his hands crossed on the table, and asked him why he was here------ and on the square table was the officer's round-brimmed military hat.
At this moment the sun was shining into the room, and the two gold stars on the officer's shoulders shone brightly.
