After a few glasses of wine, Li Jinghuan asked: "Since Brother Yishan is so cheerful, we brothers shouldn't be too picky, but there are no rules. How much does 10% of the shares cost? Brother Yishan can tell us a price, and we can have it."
A preparation.”
This question is touching everyone's heart.
But Cheng Chumo didn't drag his feet at all, and said in a rough voice: "My father once told me that no matter what business the Yishan brothers do, no matter how much the price is, how many shares are given, if you don't give it, you won't fight, and if you give it, you won't give in. It's as much as you say.
If anyone has any objections, I will be the first to stop recognizing this brother."
Cheng Chumo’s words represent everyone’s thoughts.
Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Yang Fan revealed his plan in full:
"In the future, the commercial bank will mainly focus on foreign trade, with 10% of the share capital of 2 million yuan. There are three ways to contribute equity. Everyone is free to choose the combination. One is to contribute money directly; the other is to contribute skilled craftsmen; the third is to contribute manpower!"
Even with Cheng Chumo's nerve, he was stunned and said in shock: "Two million yuan for 10% of the equity?"
Yang Fan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, because overseas trade requires building a large fleet, it costs a lot."
Cheng Chumo looked a bit naive, but he was not a fool. He thought quickly, did some mental calculations, and said in surprise: "The navy in the Tang Dynasty also has a fleet, why don't you buy these ships? Besides,
Even if we build a new ship, it won’t cost so much, right?”
These guys usually either have their fathers and brothers supporting them at home, or they just don't do anything.
Even if something happens, it is all discussed among the elders, and they are not really involved. When it comes to specific affairs, how can such a large deal have ever been negotiated?
Yang Fan opened his mouth and it was 2 million yuan, and that was 10% of the shares.
There are definitely no more than a hundred families in the Tang Dynasty who can afford millions of dollars in cash.
There are definitely no more than ten people who can get two million dollars in cash.
No wonder they were so surprised!
Although the six of them share 20% of the shares, it is an astronomical sum for their family. Fortunately, they can use craftsmen and manpower to replace it.
Otherwise, even if you kill them, you won't be able to get so much money.
However, this feeling was so exciting that everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
Yang Fan said with certainty: "Two million dollars is only a budgeted amount, and it may increase at any time. Someone has said something ugly in front of us. If we ask for an increase in capital when the time comes, whoever can't or is unwilling to take it will have to reduce their shareholdings.
"
Chai Lingwu took a breath and said: "Master, how big a fleet do you plan to build? Are you going to get a navy to come out?"
"Haha, that's really..." Yang Fan felt happy and said to himself, this guy really guessed it right!
And it was a legitimate one. Li Shimin had already agreed to let him prepare a navy army in Quanzhou. Of course, Yang Fan had to plan it well.
However, we cannot openly say that we want to build a private army, otherwise these ancients, who were deeply poisoned by the monarchy, are likely to retreat.
A trading house only needs a fleet of merchant ships. If you hire a navy, what is it for? Is it a rebellion?
However, Yang Fan's idea was very simple. This was his purpose of tying these second-generation nobles to his chariot.
Yang Fan had an idea since he knew that the Cui family of Qinghe and the Zheng family of Rongyang wanted to use the Wu brothers to defeat Liuli.
With the emperor and these second-generation Xiang-level people as shields, as long as these people stand behind him, he can remain invincible no matter what he does.
Even if the aristocratic families unite to deal with him, there are still people who can help.
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
No matter how good the brotherhood is, there still need to be entangled with each other to make the relationship stronger.
Besides, if they dare to stand by and watch something happen after they become shareholders, then be prepared to lose all their family's money.
However, we still have to give these guys some reassurance and let them show off to their families: "Our fleet will build a brand new sea-going ship, powered by steam, which can move forward in the ocean, no matter how far north or south it is.
It is even more invincible in the inland rivers. Moreover, after the fleet is established, it will be able to recover its capital within one year. You can go back and discuss it on your own and give us a reply within three days."
Cheng Chumo was surprised and said: "You can move forward even against the wind. Don't talk nonsense when talking about good things!"
Yang Fan said proudly: "Of course."
Could you explain to them what steam engine power is?
Ancient ships mainly relied on monsoon winds and manual hand cranking to sail on the sea.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, ships used sails and the monsoons that changed with the seasons, providing conditions for large-scale navigation activities.
From the late Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, people became more proficient in utilizing the monsoon patterns. The Southeast Asian Pacific route and the South Asian Indian Ocean route used the Pacific Ocean for navigation. The Indian Ocean blew southeasterly winds in summer and northwest winds in winter.
There is an ancient saying: "The north wind sails and the south wind returns, and distant objects come and bring joy to merchants."
Therefore, in ancient times, one had to look at the seasons when going to sea.
Yuchi Baolin shouted: "In the future, we can go sailing all year round. Oh my god, if we can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in one trip, wouldn't we make a fortune!"
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but the cost of building this kind of ship is too high and expensive, so the 10% share price is as much as 2 million yuan."
This explanation makes sense.
Fang Yiai and the others looked at me and I looked at you, gritted their teeth and agreed.
This kind of aristocratic family has great honor and great reputation, and no one wants to be compared with others.
You have to hold on to buy even if you are starving to death, let alone a deal that is sure to make a profit, so you have to make an immediate decision.
Yang Fan wants to tie several nobles to his chariot, and don't all the major families want to use his chariot?
It was so easy to consolidate mutual interests that even if they knew Yang Fan's intentions, everyone was happy to get on board.
You use me and I use you. In the final analysis, interests are the strongest bond.
In addition to talking about relationships, win-win cooperation is the long-term solution. Only when everyone gets what they need can we go further.
The business was settled, everyone ate and drank, and gathered in a group to eat and chat.
Li Jinghuan drank wine and pondered for a long time, then asked: "What should we do if the princes and princes want to join?"
Among those present, Li Jinghuan was not only born into a noble family but also belonged to the royal family. His relationship with the noble family and the Tian family was very subtle.
Needless to say, the prince, even though Yi Chu's voice is currently very high, Li Shimin did not express his position.
In order to maintain his position, Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei wanted to compete for the heir apparent. Neither the prince nor the King of Wei would let go of such a big piece of meat from Tang Dynasty.
This is a platform to make money and win over people's hearts. It is a guarantee for building one's own power. Only fools will not keep an eye on it.
