When Wang Chengen and Liu Dachang left the palace, they were in quite complicated moods! They had never expected that the emperor would arrange such an errand when he asked them to enter the palace.
The two people in complicated moods returned to their offices and were busy with their own affairs. Liu Dachang was thinking about building a large factory in the future, and who should he choose to go there. The emperor has not yet said where the factory will be located! And Wang Chengen
What I was wondering was where to find someone to take over such a big industry.
Wang Dehua, Wang Zhixin and other eunuchs in the palace gathered at Wang Chengen's residence again to discuss major investment matters.
"Cheng'en! Is the emperor really going to sell the enamel factory?" Wang Dehua sat at the top, so naturally he was the first to speak.
"It's natural. Your Majesty means that it's best to find people close to us to buy together. This is why I called everyone here. Can we people still collect a million silver taels? If we can't, then
We can only take advantage of people outside." Wang Chengen was really doubtful about how much money these bosses in the palace could spend. They jointly set up Minsheng Bank, and everyone invested six or seven hundred thousand in capital. Although now every month
They have all made money, but they are still far from recovering their costs! Wang Chengen's own savings have reached the bottom, and in his estimation, others are in the same situation.
"The Emperor said that the palace will build a large enamel factory outside the city. In this case, will the profit of investing in the enamel factory be so high? It won't be a loss!" Wang Dehua did not pay attention to Wang Chengen's question about whether everyone can still get it.
Instead of asking about money, I asked whether it would be possible to make money by running an enamel factory.
"Business will definitely not be affected! Everyone knows the price of enamel now. I heard that enamel from Beijing can be made hugely by taking it to other places. Now there are countless businessmen from other places waiting in line at the place where the palace sells enamel.
Purchase the goods. This thing can be sold even if the output is doubled several times." Wang Chengen not only listened to the emperor's vernacular, he also had some actual knowledge of the situation. Otherwise, he would not have tried his best to prevent the emperor from selling the factory! Because he knew
Don’t worry about selling this thing!
"Brother Cheng'en is right! I have recently interacted with some soldiers from other places. They are very fond of enamel, and they all asked me to help them buy it through the back door. I heard that there are people outside the country who want to buy in large quantities.
This thing! To be honest, the enamel produced in our palace is very useful. It is very suitable for the Tatars in the army and the north. If we jointly buy the enamel factory, the salesman can help solve the problem.
I'm not afraid of not being able to sell the goods, I'm just afraid of running out of goods!" Wang Zhixin, the chief seal of the Royal Horse Supervisor, opened his mouth to help Wang Chengen. He had many contacts with the military community, and he also understood the market situation of this thing from the side. The most important thing is to rely on himself to help Wang Chengen.
With connections in the military, he can quickly open up sales.
"Sales are no problem! Let's collect the money! To help the emperor raise money, we have to sell iron. This time the Za family tried every means to raise two hundred thousand taels of silver to contribute to the country!" Wang Dehua heard that sales were no problem.
, he suddenly became energetic and solved the gap of 200,000 taels of silver with just one mouthful. It felt like he was really willing to abandon his family and career for the cause of the emperor.
"The Za family also went all out to raise 150,000 taels of silver for the emperor." Wang Zhixin expressed his stance immediately.
Then several grand father-in-laws also expressed their opinions, some offered 30,000 yuan, and some offered 50,000 yuan. After a while, the one million yuan purchase price for the factory was almost collected!
The reason why these eunuchs rush to spend money is not only the huge profits of the enamel factory, but also the sweetness of investment. Last year, they invested 200,000 yuan to borrow money from the court, and at the end of the year, they received 40,000 principal and more than 10,000 yuan.
This is not the bulk of the interest, but the bulk of it is through this relationship. They have also squeezed out a lot of extra income from the prefectures and counties that mortgaged the mortgage. The bank will contribute more to them by the end of this year. But this good deal is currently being taken advantage of by outsiders.
The people of the imperial court are eyeing it. Even if the imperial court borrows money again in the future, they probably won't be able to get much soup.
It was impossible to get a good deal like borrowing money from the imperial court, but it made the eunuchs form a consciousness that in today's world, investing in anything but investing in the imperial court's business was not a safe investment. Just talk about investing in an enamel factory, and it took less than a year.
You can get your capital back, and you can make millions of taels of silver every year in the future. How good a deal is this? The best thing is that if you take over this business now, you can make money now, which is much more cost-effective than buying land. It used to be so big
When eunuchs save money, they usually go to their hometowns to buy land. Now that the north is like this, what land do they want to buy? The south? Are the ideas of the south something they, the eunuchs, can do? To be honest with the current situation, find an ideal place.
It’s really not easy to invest in objects.
Three days after the news of selling the enamel factory was released, Wang Chengen ran to the inner hall and said that the matter had been settled. It seems that the current financing environment has improved compared to when he first traveled through time.
"Da Mian, now that you have the whereabouts, you can go ahead and talk to Liu Dachang. You can pay half of the money first, and the remaining money can be collected within three months. After paying half of the deposit, we will quickly arrange for someone to take over the enamel factory. I
There are still a lot of things to worry about here, so I don’t have time to waste on this.”
Wang Chengen and the others were also very efficient in their work. Five days later, they handed over 500,000 taels of silver to the inner treasury and began to hurriedly arrange for people to take over the enamel factory.
After receiving the money, Zhu Youjian was not idle and directly recruited Liu Dachang and asked him to hurry up and start the construction of the industrial park.
"I thought about it and decided to locate the new workshop area in Miyun County. Dachang, you will arrange for people to choose a place in the next few days. When choosing a place, you must consider these issues. First, the place must be spacious, at least enough
Two to three hundred thousand people live and work. The second is to be close to the water flow, and the new workshops will need a lot of water to bring equipment. The third is to be close to the coal and iron ore areas, and the stone areas, so that it is convenient to use materials.
"
"Miyun, isn't Miyun a little too far from the capital? And it's too close to the border wall, so it's easy to be harassed by bandits."
"It is indeed a bit far, but it is close to water sources, there are coal mines, iron mines, and materials are convenient, so it is a suitable place for building a large factory. As for being close to the border wall, it is easy to be harassed by bandits. I have considered this matter.
A strong army will be stationed at that time. Don't worry too much about these issues. Just worry about building and arranging the factory area. I will allocate 500,000 silver to you to build the factory area. You must use this money to build the main workshop.
Well, we only have half a year, and we have to produce something within half a year! People, the palace has received more than two thousand prisoners, and they can be used as coolies. If there are not enough people left, we can recruit people from nearby. Don’t be afraid of recruiting people.
Spend money. The five hundred thousand taels of silver I gave you must be spent within half a year, and the factory must be built. Do you understand the importance of this matter?"
"I will live up to the high expectations of the Emperor and will definitely handle this job well."
Five hundred thousand taels of silver, it seems a bit difficult to build an industrial park in half a year? In fact, it is not as big as expected. The construction efficiency in this era is low, but Zhu Youjian's requirements are also low. He just needs to do some iron training
, a kiln for burning, cement, and enamel, and then equipped with some mechanical facilities and attached workshops. The place is quite simple, and it is not a high-end industrial park in later generations. Let it be operated first, and then slowly improve it.
, the craftsmen and workers of this era also have low requirements for the working environment, and they can make do with it.
