Chapter 177 Li Nai’s investment advice

As for the overall construction plan of Victory Port, the Executive Committee had already been formulating it before the crossing. After the preparatory committee at that time determined the crossing destination, the development plan of the relevant areas was included in the discussion agenda of the Ministry of Construction.

middle.

According to the long-term planning plan, the Shengli Port Area will gradually transition into a military port in a few years, and the future central administrative agencies and major military forces will also be located in this area. The Tiandu Industrial Zone located inland will

Mainly based on the "high-precision" deep processing industry, even ore smelting will gradually move there after the Shilu Iron Mine is put into operation, and the urban area of ​​Sanya will be the main residential area and business area in the future. But this

The plan requires a huge amount of manpower to be invested in development, and the current population level under the Chuanchuan Group is far from reaching such a level. The plan on paper cannot be implemented in the short term, and can only be temporarily left on the executive committee's agenda.

In the archives.

As for the current construction of the Victory Port port area and the landscape avenue leading from the port area to Base No. 1, they are all transitional construction plans. In the future, Victory Port will still shoulder the dual missions of a military port and a commercial port.

As a trading port, relevant departments have already begun functional planning of the land here.

As Wei Ping, Li Nai and others guessed, the open land on both sides of the port landscape avenue is exactly the area set aside for the construction of the future Shengli Port Business District. In addition to the business houses, warehouses and warehouses of foreign merchants, here

In addition, some hotels, restaurants, restaurants, shops and other supporting facilities will be built. In addition to meeting the consumption and living needs of the foreign population, these facilities can also stimulate local consumption to a certain extent.

Li Nai's requirements for the construction of commercial warehouses can be divided into three parts in detail. The first is the warehouse for storing materials, the second is the place for residents and those who come to Hong Kong to trade every month, and the third is for external use.

Small shops sell some goods sold from Guangzhou directly to local people.

After Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie listened to his request, the three executive committee members walked to the side and discussed in low voices for a while before returning to the negotiating table.

Tao Donglai replied in a deep voice: "In principle, we agree with your bank's application to set up a long-term commercial warehouse in Shengli Port, but for the construction land, we have to charge a certain land use fee, and the collection time is in years. If here

During this period, if we need to acquire the land, we will refund your land use fee for that year and set aside another area as compensation."

Li Nai frowned and said: "Money is not an issue, but I hope to buy the land directly to avoid disputes in the future. If you suddenly need to acquire land, how should I calculate the time and cost of building a business warehouse?"

"We will not sell the land. Anyone can only use the land in our name in this way. Regarding the issues you are worried about, we will assess your bank's expenses during the construction period, and your bank can also provide

A list of construction costs, so that when land needs to be acquired, we will provide some compensation according to the corresponding amount, such as land use fee exemption when moving to other places for construction, or based on the land area and some locally provided building materials and labor.

We will provide discounts on the fees." Tao Donglai explained Li Nai's question in detail. As a former real estate developer, he is very familiar with this issue.

After Li Nai pondered for a while, he nodded and agreed to Tao Donglai's proposal. For "Furuifeng", if they want to cooperate with the Haihan people for a long time and firmly occupy the distribution rights of some products in Fuzhou and Guangdong,

, then it is very necessary to establish a business warehouse locally, and whether the land for this business warehouse is purchased or rented will not affect the plan to establish a business warehouse in Shengli Port. The Haihan people insist on only renting and not selling to collect land use fees.

Li Nai didn't have any better solution to this problem.

Of course, Li Nai's intention was more than that. He then proposed a further investment plan: "I plan to build a restaurant and a hotel in Victory Port. If you allow it, I also want to build a gambling stall and a brothel."

.”

The three executive committee members were all shocked when they heard this. It was just a restaurant, but they didn't expect that Li Nai, a dignified Ming Dynasty scholar, would openly propose to open a gambling brothel.

In the early Ming Dynasty, gambling was strictly prohibited by the government. Zhu Yuanzhang once built a "Xiaoyao Tower" specifically to imprison caught gamblers. In the "Da Ming Law" written by Zhu Yuanzhang personally in the 30th year of Hongwu, there was no definition of gambling behavior.

, there are very clear regulations on the punishment of those who participate in gambling. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, a special edict was issued stating that all the Imperial College students who participate in gambling are "asking for the people", while the soldiers who participate in gambling are "all asking for the border guards"

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the ban on gambling gradually relaxed. Not only did gambling begin to flourish among the people, but even some dignitaries, civil servants and generals also indulged in gambling. Such as Pu Opera, Shuanglu, dominoes,

Horse-drawing, money throwing, cockfighting, cricket fighting, etc. were all common forms of gambling in the late Ming Dynasty. Gambling also gradually changed from an explicitly prohibited underground entertainment form to a semi-public form of entertainment.

"Fu Ruifeng" does not openly operate gambling stalls or brothels in Guangzhou, but privately it has shares in several places, so Li Nai is no stranger to the profits that can be obtained from these businesses. In his opinion, if these businesses can

If it is opened in an extra-legal place like Victory Port, which is not under the control of the Ming Dynasty law, the patrons who come here to spend money do not need to have any scruples at all. When Victory Port slowly prospers in the future, it will definitely be better than places like Guangzhou.

Earn bigger profits.

Another reason that prompted Li Nai to make this suggestion was Yulin inspector Wei Ping, who was currently imprisoned in Victory Port. Wei Ping proposed to Li Nai to build some commercial facilities in Victory Port, including gambling stalls.

and brothels. For Li Nai, Wei Ping's reasons are very convincing - these Haihan people are very good at making money and doing business, and there is no reason to let go of gambling stalls and brothels. And more importantly, according to

Wei Ping's observation is that there are very few women among the Haihan people, estimated to be only one or two tenths. With such a gender ratio, it would be disrespectful to the conscience of heaven and earth not to open a brothel in Victory Port to do business for the Haihan people.

Tao Donglai coughed dryly and said: "For the construction of restaurants and hotels, your bank can come up with a plan first to see how much land is needed. In principle, it should not be a big problem. But gambling stalls and brothels... this is still

It needs to be discussed.”

Li Nai puzzled: "But you are interested in taking a shareholding? This can be discussed. Bihang has no intention of running it alone. If it is convenient, Bihang also hopes to bring in people from Yazhou officials to join in and start this business together.

.”

Tao Donglai heard Xian Ge and knew what he meant, and immediately asked: "Mr. Li is talking about Wei Ping from the Inspection Department, right?"

Li Nai nodded and said: "In the future, the number of merchants in Victory Port will definitely increase. I have discussed with Inspector Wei that if you want to do these businesses in Victory Port, you will have to deal with people from all walks of life in the future. If you only rely on

Some people may not necessarily buy into your efforts to maintain order, but if someone from Yazhou officials is here to take charge, the effect may be different. After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty must be governed by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

Before Tao Donglai could reply, Yan Chujie next to him spoke: "Mr. Li, I don't quite agree with what you said. Why do people from the Ming Dynasty need to be governed by the Ming Dynasty's laws? Let me put it more arrogantly. Wei Ping himself

We must also abide by the rules set by our Haihan Executive Committee here! No matter now or in the future, as long as they come to the three-acre area of ​​Victory Port, everyone must abide by the rules here. If you don't obey the rules,

, we naturally have a way to deal with it!"

Yan Chujie can be regarded as a hawk in the executive committee. He immediately showed a tough attitude when he heard Li Nai's harsh words. Now, after several months of hard work, the executive committee has finally established an initial establishment here.

After establishing a set of social order, how could Yan Chujie agree to let people like Wei Ping jump to the front stage to perform again because of some business needs.

Tao Donglai was not as excited as Yan Chujie, so he helped to smooth things over and said: "I think this matter should be viewed from a dialectical perspective. What is the purpose of letting Wei Ping stay here? The first is to reassure Yazhou and express

We don't have any hostility. Secondly, we want to reassure the merchants coming and going to Victory Port, saying that this place is still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. I think Mr. Li's proposal still has reference value. In some cases, it is inconvenient for us to come forward to deal with it. Indeed,

We can consider asking the Inspection Department to come forward. Of course, this matter depends on Wei Ping's own attitude. If he is unwilling to cooperate with us, there is no need to force it."

Tao Donglai's words sounded to Li Nai's ears, and he felt that he was even more unscrupulous than Yan Chujie. It basically confirmed his previous speculation about Wei Ping's situation - although Wei Ping did not mention that he was under house arrest in the previous conversation.

It is a fact, but from Tao Donglai's words, we can feel that Wei Ping is now just a prop placed by the Haihan people in Victory Port to show to the outside world.

At this time, Li Nai also understood why Wei Ping wanted to persuade him to cooperate with the Inspection Department in his future investment in Victory Port. If this plan is successful, then the Inspection Department will finally have a little role to play.

Naturally, Wei Ping will no longer be just a display hanging on the wall. If the plan fails, then Wei Ping will have to continue his life under house arrest and be used by the Haihan people as a puppet of the foreign government.

But after saying so much, Li Nai still doesn't understand why Tao Donglai disagrees with the proposal to open gambling stalls and brothels. Judging from Tao Donglai's response, I'm afraid the shares are not the main reason why Haihan people are moved and worried about this. Then

What exactly are they worried about?
