Chapter 121 Promoting Industrialization
Seeing that it was not too early, Huang Zongxi waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion. "If you are interested, it is not too late to talk to them in detail in the future. I have a few important things here. Now please come out, Wen Liangzuo, Qi Liangchen and Tao Zhusheng, the three shopkeepers here."
The three of them stood up hesitantly, all holding their fists at Huang Zongxi, with some confusion on their faces. They are not big businessmen, and among the people present, they are also the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are here.
Huang Zongxi nodded, "The three of you, one is in the cloth business, the other is in the weaving and textile business, and the other is in the clothes. In short, they are all related to cloth. I have a big business here, with 300,000 sets of clothes, from hats, clothes, pants, to shoes, and a full set. Delivery in the beginning of spring tomorrow. Can you do it well?"
The three of them looked at each other, and their expressions were very complicated. Some were happy, some were puzzled, and some were unspeakable sadness. The three of them exchanged colors and shook their heads secretly.
After a while, Wen Liangzuo, who was standing in the middle, took a step forward. "Mr. Xie gave the common people a chance. But I am afraid that the three of us will not be able to take over this business."
Huang Zongxi said "Oh", "Why is this?"
Wen Liangzuo looked puzzled and hesitated for a moment, "Sir, the three of us are so talented, and we do small business. Not to mention making 300,000 sets of clothes within three or four months, even 30,000 sets of clothes is not easy for us. Just like the villain's weaving fabric, there are less than a hundred looms, and even weaving them day and night will not meet your requirements."
Huang Zongxi waved his hand and smiled, "I've said it clearly. I've said so much, isn't it just two words? I'm short of money. The government can advance the deposit of 20,000 taels of silver to recruit workers and expand the scale. The People's Bank of China can also give you 50,000 taels of silver to lend you 50,000 taels of silver, and you can go to the bank of silver at any time to withdraw. From the date of withdrawal, there are two cents of silver per month. If you borrow 10,000 taels of silver, the profit in one month will be twenty taels."
The three of them pondered for a moment, and Tao Zhusheng clasped his fists and said, "Sir, what if we don't pay it back then!"
Huang Zongxi rolled his eyelids and said, "Do you know that these 300,000 sets of clothes are just the first batch of orders, and more transactions will be given to you in the future. In addition, you can also do some private transactions. Think about it with your butt, how could you not pay it back in the future?"
Seeing that they were hesitant, Huang Zongxi was helpless and explained: "The reason why the government chose you three was to raise a banner that showed the benefits of centralized production, from silkworm raising weaving to clothes making. Each step is done by different people, gradually, and finally gathered together to complete it together. This saves the trouble of running a business. Everyone only needs to complete the part they want to complete, saving costs and time. In other words, the government can do this by itself, and the current military uniform production adopts this model. The government knows the various benefits and how much profit can be obtained in the middle."
Huang Zongxi glanced at them and continued, "But why do you give it to you? Do you think your family's wealth is rich? Think about the combined industries of the three of you, worth 50,000 taels of silver? Do you think you are all business geniuses? Look at everyone here, do you dare to admit it? Let me tell you the truth, the government chose you just because you are doing small business transactions, and happens to be in every stage of the cloth business. Only by making big money can others follow suit. Linking the businesses together, implementing modularization, centralization and large-scale, thereby saving costs and time, is the ultimate goal of the government. For this reason, the government will not let you pay, nor can you pay. This is equivalent to a big piece of gold falling from the sky. If you hesitate, you mean that you are not worthy of it, and I can find someone else."
Wen Liangzuo listened carefully. As soon as Huang Zongxi finished speaking, he quickly bowed and said, "Sir, the villain understands, thank you. The villain has done this business."
Seeing Wen Liangzuo's statement, the other two quickly agreed.
Huang Zongxi nodded, "I will send my subordinates to contact you to finalize the specific details, and sit back first! Oh, by the way, there is another point. When using the money given to you by the government to expand the scale, the recruited workers should be mainly refugees who fled to Shandong, which is also helping the government to resettle some refugees."
The others here are gradually coming back to the spotlight at this time. This is a typical good deal that is stable and profitable. They are both envious and jealous of the three of them.
Huang Zongxi continued: "I told you before that no matter what business you do in the future, the government hopes that you can make your business bigger. For example, the company I just mentioned is for this purpose. There are fixed industries, fixed workers, and fixed shopkeepers. Don't do whatever you make money, but should specialize in expanding your own industries. In Shandong for a long time, you will never know how big the East China Sea, the South China Sea, or even the West is? It is better to go out and work together to do a bigger business in China, so that my Chinese footsteps can travel all over the world. Perhaps soon, the South China Sea will be the next Western Region, and some of you will become a new generation of rich people."
Huang Zongxi looked at the people who were gradually motivated by himself and continued, "Everyone, in order for you to have sufficient principal to expand the scale, the People's Bank of China and China Money House, and the two major banks will provide you with a minimum of 500 taels and a maximum of 20,000 taels of loans. This is determined based on the scale of the industry, type of industry in your hands, etc. The profit silver ranges from one minute to five cents per month, depending on the amount of silver you borrowed and the length of return time."
"Nanyang Money House does not implement lending business for the time being, but the silver between the three Money Houses can be interconnected. If you deposit silver in the People's Bank of Shandong, you can use this batch of silver with your documents to open in Huaxia Money House in various provinces, or even open the counter of Nanyang Money House in Nanyang. This will eliminate the inconvenience of having to carry a large amount of silver and the risk of being robbed on the road, making it more convenient for you to do business."
After saying that, Huang Zongxi turned to Li Ding and Chen Huarong on the side and said, "Shopkeeper Li, Storekeeper Chen, we have to discuss this in detail next to determine how to operate in the future."
The two bowed and said, "Listen to the Lord."
