Chapter fifty-ninth
"The trick?" Zheng Guanying laughed, "Then I will listen to Mr. Xilin's masterpieces."
Cen Chunxuan also laughed: "Today I will pretend to be Zhuge Liang." While saying that, he took something from his entourage.
Zheng Guanying looked at this thing, like a scroll, but like a painting. He was about to see what tricks the other party could make, but Cen Chunxuan was moving quickly, and he had already drawn out a yellow silk scroll: "Under the imperial edict, Zheng Guanying responded to the imperial edict."
"Ah!" Zheng Guanying opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't close for a long time, but he still knelt down, but he didn't prepare for the incense table.
"In the sky, the emperor ordered that the Shipbuilding Merchants Bureau was originally an official enterprise, with many problems and poor operation. In the future, it was specially granted a complete commercial office. Regardless of the source of its capital, it will operate independently according to the current business laws and bear its own profits and losses. The government will no longer interfere. Zheng Guanying, the former general manager, has been engaged in shipping for many years and has made great achievements. He is old and stronger. I am very relieved. He is specially appointed as the chairman, who is in charge of management, employment, and management power..."
After hearing this, Zheng Guanying was completely shocked and was a little doubtful about whether his ears were not heard badly.
"Why, Duke Zheng refused to accept the order?"
Looking at Cen Chunxuan's smiling face, Zheng Guanying suddenly understood, "Dongdongdong" touched three times in a row, and said in an excited tone: "My memory, Zheng Guanying, thanks God, long live my emperor!"
"How is this trick? Is this trick good?" Cen Chunxuan quickly helped him up. He smiled and handed over the imperial edict. The latter looked at it again and again, and finally believed that everything the other party said was true. He couldn't help but feel ups and downs and his enthusiasm was surging.
"I have been waiting for 30 years, but I didn't expect that when I was old, I finally waited for good news. How good it would be for you to make me 20 years younger than me.
"Mr. Zheng, I have given power, but I still have a job that I haven't finished." Cen Chunxuan first filled Zheng Guanying with wine and asked, "The emperor wants to ask, how should Mr. Zheng do business after he takes over the power?"
"Mr. Cen, if you ask Xing, he may not be able to say this, but if you ask me, you will ask the right person." Zheng Guanying picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and a sense of pride arose: "I have a one, two, three strategies."
——Complete commercial office. Expanding equity policy: Currently, the total share capital of China Merchants Group is less than 400 taels, and it is planned to increase it to 10 million taels. The original 4 million taels are charged at 1.25 value to 500 to show preferential treatment to old shareholders. Another new commercial shares are required to be raised 500 taels to expand their strength, facilitate turnover and solve business difficulties;
——Purchase ships and add routes: Currently, China Merchants has 28 ships of large and small, with 47,000 tons, which only increases by about 800 per year for about 10 years, and has a slow development. Take the Yangtze River route as an example. Before 7, China Merchants Group's total tonnage is about 8,000, accounting for more than a quarter of the total capacity of the route, ranking Swire, and Jardines before ranked first. Although the bureau increased to about 9,000 tons in seven years, the capacity has been reduced to one-sixth of the weak, and is already at the bottom. If the capital is recruited properly, it is planned to purchase ship strips in 10 years and increase to at least 3,000 tons per year. At the same time, it is stepping up the opening of emerging routes. my country originally had no direct routes from Europe and the United States, and if it wanted to go to Europe and the United States, it was necessary to take European and American mail ships or go to Japan to transfer ships. In the future, direct flights from Europe and the United States can also be tried;
——Expand the dock and update the equipment policy: China Merchants Group’s original dock, with its berth too small, can only be parked with low-tonnage ships. After the expansion, high-tonnage ships can be parked with high-tonnage ships to further reduce costs. At the same time, more shuttle ships and houses are purchased near the dock to facilitate storage. At present, Europe, the United States and even Japan are implementing mechanized operations, with more and more engineering equipment used for loading and unloading of goods and lifting, with less manpower and faster time. China Merchants Group should follow suit. If others can only unload 1 ton of goods when unloading 3 goods, then even if China Merchants Group’s freight is 30% cheaper than others, it is necessary to improve efficiency and speed up;
...
He said eight points in one breath. What's even better is that every time he said one, Cen Chunxuan ate a fried bun or a small bun, and swallowed eight points in one breath. Zheng Guanying was so scared that he quickly grabbed the other party: "Sir, you can't eat it anymore. I want to say ten or eight points. Don't you have to get jailed?"
"Hahaha! Wonderful, wonderful! Buns are so wonderful, the strategy is even better! Every strategy is so great that I feel. Don't say eight, even eighteen, I will eat it too."
"I asked you to eat it, what should I eat?" Zheng Guanying quickly robbed something and put all the remaining few in the account.
"You said eight things, I'll pay you one too." Cen Chunxuan came from his close-fitting pocket
An envelope, pretending to be mysterious and smiled, "I saw the things inside, I will make sure you smile now."
"Is it really so effective?" Zheng Guanying was skeptical and opened the letter and saw it. Sure enough, he was stunned on the spot. The Shengjianbao was bitten halfway and was put in his mouth, "Your Majesty wants to invest?"
"Yes, that's right!" Cen Chunxuan blinked, "This is not an imperial edict, but a way for you to consider it. If it must not work, then forget it."
This is of course a joke. No matter how brave Zheng Guanying is, he dare not refuse the emperor's shareholding. However, he still couldn't adapt and tentatively said: "It's good that the emperor supports the Commercial Bureau of Investment and Commercial Office. After the recruitment of commercial stocks is over, we would rather give the Royal Family 20% of its shareholding every year."
"Mr. Zheng is here again. Isn't this scolding the emperor? I just said that Sheng Xing violated the rules of using dry stocks. You should immediately get another royal family to take dry stocks, which makes the emperor seem to be robbing him. How unpleasant will it be heard?"
"Yes, I'm missing the blame. It's just this common share of the monarchy and the people?"
"The emperor said that since the imperial edict has given you full power, the royal family will never interfere, and will not send internal officials to supervise like the previous dynasty. Don't worry." Cen Chunxuan saw the other party's doubts and smiled, "You are the one who pulls the tiger's skin to make a big banner. Now you have pulled the True Dragon Emperor to make a big banner. Let's see who dares to jump up and down without opening his eyes?"
—
"Yes!" Zheng Guanying advocated commercial office again, and would never refuse such a good thing. Over the years, all over the world have regarded investment promotion agencies as Tang Monk's meat. Everyone wants to take a bite. With the amulet of the royal family, life will be better in the future - there will be no emperor's head, right?
"How many shares are the emperor planning to invest?"
"This number!" Cen Chunxuan raised his 4 fingers.
Cen Chunxuan was amused and crying: "Duke Zheng, is the emperor so stingy? Is it 400 for the investment company?"
"Ah! Isn't that enough for me to recruit another 100 taels?"
"Why are you so stubborn? Naturally, Han Xin ordered more troops to get better. You can put out the emperor's signboard. Humph, don't say 500, I'm afraid that 10 million people will squeeze in fortified."
"Oh, this will prevent me from running around and working hard."
"That's it. But..." Cen Chun lowered his voice, "There is a saying to Mr. Zheng. Because the emperor took a loan from the Germans, if we can build this ship ourselves, we can build it ourselves. If we cannot build it, it is best to buy it from Germany. Master Sa of the Navy was inspecting Germany and ordered a batch of warships in major shipyards. It is inevitable that there are too many monks and too little porridge. You can give him a favor and let him stand up. It is both good for both public and private. In the future, sailing on the sea, anti-smuggling, and anti-theft, the China Merchants Agency will not be exempted from the Navy's care."
"Yes! I can save it!" Zheng Guanying said clearly, "I will be able to ship the powerful people to Germany tomorrow, and I will help the navy, which can be regarded as a contribution to national defense."
"It's a pity that I don't have money, otherwise I really want to buy some shares here. If I get old in the future, I will have a place to make money." Cen Chun sighed, and after another glass of wine, he felt a little drunk without realizing that he was already breathing casually.
"Why should I leave some dry shares for the adults?"
"Don't! Don't hurt me." Cen Chun was clever, "If this happens, the emperor will have to send another imperial envoy to investigate me tomorrow."
After saying that, he laughed.
"Sir, if you have independent business and funds in place, I dare not say that the annual profit of China Merchants Group is too high. You are sure to have 15% of them. If you can trust me, you can go to the bank to make a loan. Only 5 years of interest can be paid, and you can still get 10% of the profit after deduction. Such economic difficulties can be solved, and it does not violate the way of being a human being. It can be said that the best of both worlds."
"Good idea." Cen Chun was overjoyed, "A gentleman loves money and takes it well. I will respect Mr. Zheng first!"
After drinking it all, Zheng Guanying walked to the window again, looked at the burning clouds in the sky, and said confidently: "The old horse is in the stable, and is determined to be thousands of miles away. I didn't expect that Zheng Guanying, who is approaching his old age, can still have such a chance to show his skills. It's really God's eyes open and the emperor's grace is vast..."
