Chapter 299: Tiannan Commercial Bank
Lin Weiye suggested: "In this case, let's follow the European military system, with squads, companies, battalions, and regiments as units. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" He looked at everyone confused and explained, "This is the military system on the side of Franc Ji, which is more suitable for us." ”
Xia Nan nodded and said, "We will discuss the relevant details privately, and now we will discuss more important matters." ”
When everyone heard this, they cheered up and listened to it, what could be something more important than the military system?
"There are a few things that I have been thinking about for a long time, and now that there are two big battles, the situation has been laid, and the time is basically ripe for discussion. The first thing is about your salary, or your salary. Xia Nan glanced at everyone: "Of course, I'm not talking about the meager fortune of the imperial court. You follow me, whether you follow me from the salt farm, or join in the middle of the process, or you are dragged by me, regardless of your origin, all of them are my people. Naturally, I can't go hungry, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. As you know, the shops in Guangzhou are doing good business and have a good income. Wang Zunde was shut down for a few months, and now it is back again. In addition, our warships have also been launched, and it is imperative to carry out sea trade, and if it goes well, one Japanese trade route alone will be worth the entire business of Guangzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of gold and silver. ”
Hearing this, everyone was secretly excited, and they vaguely guessed Xia Nan's thoughts.
"That's what I plan, set up a trading house, and include the shop business and sea trade in Guangzhou, and the same will be true for other profitable transactions in the future. The money earned will be used as a dividend for everyone present at the Qiongzhou battalion, the arsenal, the steel factory, the shipyard and other places, and some of the remaining part will be used as dividends for everyone here. ”
Dividends? Everyone looked at each other, this statement is quite fresh.
"We will do something big in the future, Qiongzhou camp is our fist, the firm is our backing, we are a whole, you can see our great business as a big deal, I am the big boss, Lao Lin is the second boss, you are all shopkeepers, the shop is divided into a number of shares, everyone has a share, and dividends are distributed every year according to how many shares are shared."
After explaining it this way, everyone understands that it is to divide the profitable trading to everyone a number of shares, and at the end of the year, everyone will share the silver together. Everyone was excited, and Tan Shan and the others almost laughed out loud: these gold and silver sea transactions, even if they leak a little between their fingers, are enough to wake up from their dreams.
Not to mention that Tan Shan and other people from small families were excited, even Sun Yuanhua was not calm. Although Sun Yuanhua used to be a governor and held a high position, he had the principle and bottom line of being an official, and he was quite pursuing in his career, unlike those corrupt officials who only collected money, and lived a relatively poor life. But sticking to principles is not the same as being an ascetic after all, who would refuse to live a more nourishing life, and the way of money is above board.
Sima De was happy and thought of a question: these people present are all members of Xia Nan's family, and they will all be veterans in the future, and they will definitely hold greater power, and according to the conventional development, the phenomenon of corruption and bribery is inevitable, and this has nothing to do with personal conduct. The officials of the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, from the first assistant to the county, are all full of sage books, and everyone understands the truth, but once they enter the officialdom, they can only choose to be with the light, otherwise they will not survive.
However, as soon as Xia Nan's method of dividends according to shares came out, the development of the entire system was tied to the vital interests of everyone, and everyone would try their best to promote the development of the system, rather than coveting some petty profits to destroy the overall interests.
He couldn't help but admire that it was so simple to unite people's hearts. However, although the method is simple, not everyone in the upper position will use it, which is equivalent to sharing food from one's own pot to others, which requires long-term vision and enough courage.
Xia Nan continued: "This trading house will be in charge of all the buying and selling, and will be responsible for providing the expenses of the Qiongzhou camp and factory, and the silver dividends at the end of the year. The name is Tiannan Commercial Bank. Tiannan Commercial Bank is directly under my jurisdiction, but I can't take care of everything, and I need to set up a general manager to be responsible for daily management. ”
The play meat is coming, and the fools know the importance of this manager, and everyone sorted out their appearances, looked at each other, and guessed who this fat difference would fall on.
Xia Nan did not sell Guanzi: "To be qualified for the position of head of the commercial bank, you need to be smart-minded, thoughtful, and diligent. Liu Quan has done a good job in the construction of the new city, and I think he is competent enough. ”
Liu Quan was overjoyed, ran out of a cigarette, knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Master Xie, the little one must do his best." ”
Everyone felt a little unexpected, but it was reasonable to think about it, and among the people present, only Liu Quan was more suitable for this position.
Xia Nan feigned anger and said: "It's said that we don't have this kneeling ceremony here, why do you still kowtow?" Don't do that anymore. ”
Liu Quan replied loudly: "Yes, master...... General, the subordinates will not dare in the future. He stood up happily, feeling light all over, and secretly pinched his thigh, but fortunately, it was not a dream. I changed the door from a squire bully's housekeeper and worked hard to do things for Xia Nan, didn't I just wait for this moment, and now my dream has come true.
Xia Nan looked at everyone: "Isn't it a little unexpected?" Don't worry, when we grow up, everyone will have their own place. In addition to the comptoir, I would like to set up a research institute that will bring in talents from all walks of life to specialize in military and civilian technology. ”
Research institute? Technology? Everyone was confused.
"Why are we able to defeat several times or even ten times the number of officers and soldiers? It's because our guns are sharp. Why are our guns so sharp? It's because we can forge cannons and rifles that are much better than those of the officers and soldiers. Guns are built with more advanced technology. At present, Lao Lin is single-handedly handling this aspect, but he is not an iron man and needs someone to help. ”
"Also, why do we have enough silver to forge guns and build warships? It's because our cotton cloth and shochu make money. This is also relying on technology, so that we can make things that others do not have at a low cost. In the future, we will launch more products, and it is also impossible to put all of them on Lao Lin alone, and we also need more people to assist. The establishment of this research institute, coupled with the school we run, may not be effective for a while, but it can be regarded as a long-term layout, so let's take precautions. ”
Lin Weiye was quite surprised, but he was very happy about such a proposal, as a technician, it is always a good thing for the boss to attach importance to technology, and everything is pressed on him, and his energy is limited, so he really can't take care of it. He smiled and asked, "Then this dean is none other than me?" (To be continued.) )
