Chen Xili was standing aside, looking at his son with a gentle smile, his eyes full of shadows from his youth.

It was also matched with two young men toasting their glasses.

After putting down the cup, Xun thought for a while, "Then I will say it straight. As everyone thinks, I do have a plan to leave the Ming Dynasty. As long as the fleet that went out to sea finds that continent this time, I will start to take action. This will require a huge amount of funds and may directly emptie the Times Group."

Chen Yiwen stood up and closed the air vent of the hot pot stove a little. Anyway, everyone didn't want to boil the vegetables at this moment. The pot kept rolling, and it was so hot that it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Then he said: "Do you know the current size of Times Group?"

Twilight was a little embarrassed, "To be honest, I don't know very well. I have done a good job in Huanghua in recent years. Although Times Group has been under my control, I have not asked about many things, and I am often away."

Chen Yiwen said: "I am the one who is responsible for finance the most."

Dusk nodded, "Tell me and see."

Chen Yiwen blurted out almost without thinking: "According to the accounts, in the Times Bank, except for the money deposited by the people and wealthy families, the principal of the bank itself is 168.32 million taels of silver."

As a few of the most famous ones.

After slight calculations, the purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is only equivalent to the purchasing power of 350 soft sister coins in later generations.

In other words, Times Bank only has a net asset of about 50 billion.

It's unscientific...

Times Bank has been developing for so many years, investing in so many industries, and has a lot of industries. It is impossible to have this little money. Is there a big borer in Times Bank?

Chen Yiwen knew that the dusk would think so, and sighed helplessly, "Owner, Times Bank actually makes a lot of money, but the internal combustion engine research and development institute of Jiudihe Power Station, Times Chemical Industry, Times Military Industry and other departments controlled by Wei Zixu, swallowed gold quickly, beyond your imagination. Last year alone, Times Chemical has allocated more than three million taels from Times Bank. Times Military Industry is not bad, because it is larger, and last year it allocated more than eight million taels from Times Bank. This is not the recycling funds obtained by selling the Taishan and machine guns to the Ministry of War. The internal combustion engine research and development institute at Jiudihe Power Station is not small, and these departments have made it difficult for Times Metallurgical Company to make almost no profit. All the money has been invested in the research and development of special steel. Last year, it also allocated more than 10,000 taels from Times Bank. In addition, the national expansion of various industries requires a large amount of funds. Times Bank can still have more than 100 million taels of principal, which is a miracle."

I became more worried when I heard this at dusk.

That's it?

The current size of Times Group cannot catch up with the East India Company at all.

And with this little money, it is almost impossible to support millions of immigrating to the North American continent to establish several urban agglomerations - urban agglomerations require money, but the North American continent still has indigenous people, and they also need to establish military power, and the money consumed by military power can be imagined.

The face was full of sorrow at dusk.

Seeing this, Chen Yiwen said: "Actually, the boss doesn't have to worry about money. Times Group does not have much money. Compared with the treasury, it's really a drizzle, but some things can still be operated."

In terms of the word "Treasury", Chen Yiwen emphasized his tone.

I was stunned for a moment.

Treasury?

I suddenly realized, "What do you mean, I want to go and ask His Majesty for money to build a new house and then ask His Majesty for money to decorate the new home?"

Chen Yiwen smiled but said nothing.

Dusk was thinking, "Although it was a bit difficult, it was really possible to operate. Look, when I go to Shuntian, I will first explore Your Majesty's ideas and then choose according to the situation."

If it really doesn't work, just sell the fixed assets of Times Group.

The cash is only more than 100 million taels, but the real estate and other fixed assets in various places are still a considerable number - if Zhu Di moved out of the Ming Dynasty, he would also take over the market.

Chen Yiwen said: "If Your Majesty is unwilling to help, there is another way to operate, which is to sell some of the inherent assets. However, in this way, the scale of Times Group will become smaller. But no matter what, you really have to prepare for that step. It is completely feasible. Although Times Group does not have much cash, it controls all walks of life and has a lot of materials. These materials are assets of Times Group and can be transported overseas. To be honest, the value of these materials has actually exceeded our cash!"

Xun sighed slightly, "The problem is that I will ask His Majesty for about one million people by then, which means that we will build a city that is enough for one million to live overseas, plus the corresponding living facilities, and the supplies needed for life within a few years, relying on Times Group's cash and supplies, which is obviously a bit difficult."

I am a little blindly optimistic.

The most difficult part is mainly steel. To build cities in the North American continent, a large number of houses are needed to first build there, and then build metallurgy, cement and other factories.

All require a lot of steel.

This requires Zhu Di's consent to purchase it.

Chen Yiwen didn't think so, "Boss, I think you have raised the height too high all at once. I know your idea. Just moving a million people over and establishing an urban agglomeration there directly to form a country. But this operation is like picking stars and taking the moon. Just one million people go to sea, which is a matter that lasts for several years. In other words, funds and materials are not a one-time demand, but a problem of deep water flow. The urban agglomeration was not established at once, but also takes step by step. In other words, there is actually not much capital and materials at all. Times Group provides it slowly, and it can complete this within ten years."

A few words woke up the dreamer.

At dusk, he suddenly woke up, was stunned for a while, and then laughed and said, "That's right, I took it for granted."

When I went to the North American continent, I did not move a country at once, but developed into a country step by step. The establishment of urban agglomerations took several years, and funds and materials also passed in batches.

The key point is to buy a lot of steel from Boss Zhu.

This question requires a trip to Shuntian first.

Then he ended the topic and said to Chen Yiwen: "Since this matter has come to this point, you should also know that Yiwen. I cannot leave the Ming Dynasty for the time being, so once I start operating there, someone needs to be in charge of all construction matters."

Speaking of this, look at Chen Xili.

It was originally decided that Chen Xili, but now it seems that Chen Yiwen is also a good candidate.

Chen Xili smiled, "A gentleman dies for his confidant."

Chen Yiwen also smiled, "My parents are not traveling far away, but since the father has gone far away, how can he let his father suffer alone and take care of himself?"
