Chapter 1156: Strong Soldiers and Strong Horses
New Kings Mountain City.
Located on the delta of the Little Golden Sands River on the south bank of New Jinshan Bay, the summer is hot and New Jinshan is in full swing. New gold hunters from the Central Plains and old tourists from San Francisco have gathered tens of thousands of people in just a few months.
The so-called New Kings Mountain City is like a huge construction site, or like a refugee camp.
Ah Huang stood on the wooden board under the corridor in front of the city hall, watching the lively and noisy scene, and also had a headache. He said it was the city, but there were tents, thatched huts and wooden houses everywhere.
People, horses, livestock and animals were running around, mixed with chickens and dogs, and chickens and ducks were barking.
Ah Huang was appointed as the mayor of New Kings Mountain City by Qin Lang. The small wooden house behind him is the city hall and the city center of New Kings Mountain.
According to Ah Huang's understanding, calling the mayor rather than the city lord should be to keep a low profile and avoid making taboos. After all, Qin Lang has discussed with the Qin family managers and is called the Treasure Island Mine to the outside world, and is in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to the outside world.
The Lord of One City is called the mayor. Lao Huang believes that this is the same as the municipal orders in the Central Plains cities, and it manages market businesses. Of course, the situation on Treasure Island is definitely different. It is very appropriate to manage the entire city in the name of mayor.
Zhang Chao rode over, jumped off the horse in front of the wooden house, and tied the horse to the lower pillar of Lang.
Ah Huang waved his hand unhappily, "Pull the horse away, this is the city hall. What kind of style is it to tie the horse to shit and urinate here."
Zhang Chao disagreed and pointed at the noisy scene on all sides, "Come on, let's get the city hall. Isn't the whole New Kingsoft a big market? How come there are so many things to pay attention to?"
New Jinshan City, not New Jinshan City, sounds like a market, which is also decided by Qin Lang.
Old Huang was helpless, "It's so fucking messy."
"Then you mayor will take control."
"I just came here and I haven't had any clues yet. You kid are my security captain, please give me some advice."
Zhang Chao rubbed the mud on the wooden board under the corridor and then walked to Ah Huang, supported his waist and looked at the chaos in front of him.
Since the discovery of the Dajin Mine Belt in the mountains to the east, countless people have begun to rush here. Xinjinshan is the landing site, and everyone gathered here first.
Tens of thousands of gold diggers gathered here, and they were all single men, which was really messy.
"Get some lime, wooden stakes, draw them online first, plan the Fang District streets of Xinjinshan City, and plan the toilet as soon as possible. Damn, I inspected it in the morning and stepped on three smalls of shit." Zhang Chao said with an unlucky look on his face.
"No one."
"There are so many people and no one yet? After every gold digger comes, I will first detain them and let them do half a month's work here."
"You can't rebel?"
"Give them some benefits. If you work for half a month, you won't pay for your wages."
"Who is here to dig a trench and build a house here?"
Zhang Chao said with a wicked smile, "In this way, as long as you work for half a month here, we will provide them with a map of the gold mine belt, which indicates the location of the gold found. Isn't that attractive?"
"This is OK, what else?"
"Also, we have to recruit investment as soon as possible. We must plan a commercial area and open shops such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. So many people come to collect gold, so we must not eat or wear, or need gold digging tools? We must ensure this well, otherwise there will be chaos."
Ah Huang showed his iconic obscene smile and patted Zhang Chao, "I'm sure I've been by Sanlang for so many years. I do have a few tricks. Okay, I'll leave you to take charge of this work such as drawing lines, driving piles, and digging toilets to recruit workers."
"Good guy, are you waiting for me here?"
"The capable ones work harder." Ah Huang laughed.
"What are you doing?"
"I am the mayor, I take charge of the whole city."
Ah Huang had an important meeting today, and he was waiting for someone here. After a while, there were indeed people coming one after another, all of whom were merchants wearing silk.
The one who walked in front was Lao Wang, who was originally a manager of Taiping Money House in Taiping Port. He only had a year in San Francisco. This time he was transferred to New Kingsoft to prepare for the New Kingsoft Branch of Taiping Money House, and was also awarded the position of the shopkeeper of the semicolon.
Behind him were many people in charge who were about to open a semicolon in New Kingsoft.
"It's really lively here." Lao Wang followed Ah Huang into the wooden house, then sat down at the long table. The door of the wooden house was opened, and the noise outside came into the house.
He was only a middle-level manager in Taiping Port’s general account. He chose to come to Treasure Island at the beginning, so he was promoted one level. This time he took the initiative to ask to come here to open a semicolon and then another level.
Not only that, but more importantly, he has become the leader of the semi-colon who stands alone. This is still very attractive to Lao Wang in his early forties.
Because he became the shopkeeper of the No. 1 single hand, the top trunk he got was even higher.
Lao Wang has been working in the Qin family for 16 years. When he first started working as an apprentice in the Qin family, the business company controlled food and accommodation, but he had no salary. The apprenticeship for five years, and the salary for one year was only a few cents after the expiration of the term. This was still the case where the Qin family was well treated.
I have worked as a friend for another five years and have outstanding business skills in my account. At this time, I have a consistent monthly salary, including food, accommodation, clothes and shoes, and I can still get twelve central bank money a year. This is already very good.
But the most attractive thing about the Qin family is not this, but the fact that there is still an seniority. It means that according to the years of service in the Qin family, you will deposit an annual seniority every year from the expiration of the apprenticeship. This money is not directly distributed to you. Instead, you can withdraw it after an accident such as illness or family members. If there is no accident, you can also wait until you get married, have children, and have parents’ funerals, or withdraw the part. When you leave or get old, you will settle it together.
This is a unique benefit of the Qin family business. After all, it is given extra for a normal salary, and it is called a very favorable person.
Of course, in addition to this benefit, one of the most attractive things about the Qin family is its stocks.
As long as you work in the Qin Family Business for ten years, become a senior partner, or be promoted to a middle- and senior employee, you will also have a stock dividend in addition to your normal salary.
This top stock, that is, the position stock, can receive dividends during the period based on different positions and seniority.
A four-year period is the dividend, and the specific performance depends on performance. If the performance is good, the dividend will naturally be more.
The Qin family's industries have always had good performance, so the dividends of the Qin family's top-line stocks are very good. The higher the employees, the more shares the top-line stocks, the higher the dividends.
Those big shopkeepers who can hold the number one alone have the highest dividends.
In the past, when Lao Wang was in Taiping Port, he also had a captain stock, but compared with their chief shopkeeper, his captain stock was very different. The chief shopkeeper could share several thousand guan a year.
Even with the contribution of the shopkeeper, even if he dies, he can still divide three more periods of accounting, which is twelve years.
Experience, position, and performance are important criteria for holding shares.
Taiping Money Bank is a Qin family industry, but not all of it is a Qin family industry, because the Qin family is only the largest shareholder, and there are many shareholders in partnership. They also distribute dividends, but they share silver shares.
The shopkeeper and the employees only share the shares, have no ownership rights, only dividend rights, and are not responsible for risks.
When Lao Wang comes to Xinjinshan, his big goal is to make the money bank's semicolon prosperous. As long as his performance can improve, he will pay dividends according to his performance. The better his performance, the more dividends he will pay. If he does a good job, he will be much better than those bosses who do business by himself.
Lao Wang’s salary for coming here is 100 jin per year, which is what Lao Wang himself requires, and it is very low. When he worked in the Taiping Port General Office, his annual salary had exceeded 100 taels.
Lao Wang is interested in the position of the big shopkeeper who stands alone. He requires a single stock to hold the stock and agree on performance goals. If the performance meets the standards year by year, the stock to hold the stock will also rise accordingly.
One cent is one percent.
The New Kingsoft semicolon's income is one percent as his dividend. If he can earn 10,000 guan, then his dividend is 100,000 guan, and if it is 100,000 guan, it is 1,000 guan.
Yili's dividend is indeed not high. You should know that some of the Qin family's big shopkeepers can even reach ten li, but Lao Wang didn't have too high demands at once. He was willing to use his actual performance to prove his ability and then increase after reaching it.
The General Account is of course very satisfied with a young, promising, enterprising and hardworking employee like Lao Wang.
"Shopkeeper Wang, the money shop should open as soon as possible." Ah Huang politely told Lao Wang.
"This time I brought ten business backbones from the semicolon, all of which were business backbones. I also transferred ten business backbones from the Taiping Port General Number and the Jiaozhou Branch Number, Guangzhou Branch Number, and thirty five-year apprentices and fifty three-year buddies, which are strong."
Lao Wang said confidently that the apprentices recruited by the business are also selected by many people. They must be smart and clever boys. After passing the selection, they have to go through three years of miscellaneous work, mainly sweeping the floor and taking tea and water. This is to polish their character, and at the same time checking their character. For example, sometimes they will deliberately leave money to see how to deal with it. If anyone dares to hide or not pay small profits, they will definitely be fired, or if someone steals goods in the business without clean hands and feet, they cannot be kept.
Only after the first stage of the inspection period can we enter the next stage of the cabinet. Each apprentice is equipped with a master and needs to learn skills such as abacus and copying. If the performance is too poor, you will be fired.
Only after passing this second stage of study can you become an intern. At this time, you start running the streets and follow the senior staff to go to the streets for business. You are mainly responsible for inquiring about the market, copying letters, etc. If you do well, you can officially become a client and have the qualifications to discuss business by yourself.
Lao Wang was able to transfer thirty business backbones at once, which shows that the general account has a very strong support, and it is even more exciting to draw 80 of him.
These are all cultivated by the general and semicolons.
"I plan to recruit another hundred apprentices myself."
"You Taiping Money House is too arrogant. Do you need so many friends and apprentices in a money house?" The other shopkeepers were sore and very jealous.
"Of course, we have to do it. Where is Treasure Island? How much gold has San Francisco collected in the past year? How much silver? Copper? Another thing is that there were so many gold hunters on Treasure Island last year, how many merchants and merchant ships were coming and going, what money was there for this transaction, and how much exchange business volume was there?"
"Although we are an island, we have just developed it, it is much stronger than the average prefectures in the Central Plains. Now we have discovered new mineral gold seedlings, and more gold diggers are coming. It is conceivable how big the money shop business here will be in the future. Of course, we have to prepare early and not fight unprepared battles, right?"
Lao Wang is ambitious. After all, he still has a one-liter stake in the body, and he does a good job. Two-liter 3 liters are not a problem. Naturally, he has to work hard to become bigger and stronger. After all, it is related to his own financial prospects.
If one hundred apprentices are recruited, they still need to be trained. If you wash the sand from a big wave, you will probably have to be 20 or 30 left in the end. Apprentices from money shops are more demanding than apprentices in ordinary shops. If you recruit apprentices in other shops, you may just be more clever and smart. When recruiting apprentices in money shops, they must not only be good at learning, but also teach reading arithmetics, but not just to bring tea and water to sweep the floor.
"Shopkeeper Wang, build the money house as soon as possible. Captain Zhang is responsible for planning the neighborhood. You can choose a location and then build it. You should also ask Captain Zhang. He will be responsible for sending someone to help you build the money house first."
"Okay, before that, we will set up a tent to open temporarily, and it will never affect the development of New Jinshan City." Lao Wang patted his chest and said, "He would not wait until the money house is built before opening business."
Tens of thousands of people gathered here, and countless businessmen and gold diggers came. This is a huge business.

Zhang Chaoxian raised a wooden bulletin board in front of Ah Huang's city hall, and issued the latest announcements and orders on it.
He also sent his security team members to promote the notice.
In a few days, Zhang Chao really planned different areas for the camp that was originally messy and messy, including municipal office areas, commercial areas, residential areas, warehouse areas, etc.
He also registered everyone, issued an identity card, etc., and established public toilets, canteens, etc.
With the gold digging map and good wages as a guide, we organized a engineering team and began to cut down trees and dig soil, and officially built a city and built a house.
There are ships continuously transporting grain, meat, vegetables and other supplies at the wharf. With these sufficient guarantees, Zhang Chao is responsible for the urban infrastructure of New Kingsoft, and Lao Huang is responsible for investment planning, etc., and he has cooperated well.
When the first batch of gold diggers who had been working for half a month took over the hard work, they turned around and entered the tent shops in the commercial area to purchase dry food, tools, etc., turned around and went to the dock to buy a boat ticket, boarded the boat to the mountain mining area, and officially started the gold digging journey.
On the other side of the dock, a group of adventurers who had just jumped from the boat, looking at the land with curious eyes.
