In fact, people around this issue were very confused some time ago. He only met with Liu Xiang twice, but it was difficult to discuss it in depth. The main issues, he felt, were tax issues and the "main business". What do you want to say?
To open mines and plantations all over the world, do these things have to be done by the Nanyang Company? At least Australia and Song Dynasty have not said that external development must go through the Nanyang Company! Then you need the resources of Guangzhou, and in the end the headquarters is not here, let alone
Not to mention paying taxes, then why do Guangzhou’s resources have to go outside through you?
Yesterday's telegram helped clear up the shackles of thinking around him. He carefully studied Liu Xiang's recent public speeches and found that he was most concerned about three things: promoting employment, preserving the value of banknotes, and food security.
Among them, food security is very hidden, because after the epidemic, Liu Xiang began to personally supervise the spring plowing preparations. He held spring plowing mobilization meetings for large households again and again, asking them to ensure the operation of water conservancy facilities in their fields and start spring plowing activities as soon as possible.
; For the official fields, unmaintained fields and openable wasteland actually controlled by the Senate, a large number of laborers were mobilized and hired to prepare them, and preparations were made to carry out spring plowing and spring sowing in advance according to the recommendations of the Tiandihui. If the "two years of severe drought" were not obtained,
information, then they will only think that this is Liu Xiang's "diligence in farming" and "emphasis on agricultural production", or even think it is a show or nonsense - he changed to new rice seeds that he has not touched before, and sows them in advance. This is not nonsense.
What is it?! But the people around us now know that this is to harvest a wave of early rice for three and a half months before the severe drought!
If I had known that he was so worried about food security, then what would I have told him the past two times about the steel industry and the chemical industry? I just found out yesterday that during the few days I went to Foshan to inspect, he, Old Liu, actually wanted to play a big role in the industry.
Several people working in the steel industry persuaded them to leave and asked them to "consider places with potential like Foshan or Sanshui"! My Nanyang Company was originally planning to launch its first shot in southern Vietnam, so I just had to say no!
People around me heard Liu Xiang's question and responded confidently: "Old Liu, you must know that the best thing about the East India Company in history is that it operates colonial countries as assets. I won't talk about this long-term goal first.
Let’s just say recently!”
"We are preparing to integrate resources..." At this point, the surrounding people poked Liu Xiang on the table with their fingers, and said meaningfully: "Using the original Jinlan Bay stronghold left by Ping Qiusheng as a base, directly take
Let’s go to Nanqi in Vietnam, which is what you often call, Lin Yi State!” People around me knew that Liu Xiang, as an engineering monk, had special research and interest in the history of the Han Dynasty—probably because of his surname Liu—so he fell in love with him.
, deliberately used an ancient place name from the Han Dynasty.
Sure enough, Liu Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this ancient place name!
"Oh?" Liu Xiang asked with great interest: "Isn't this area annexed by Vietnam? Then how are you going to deal with Vietnam? Also, I remember that Cambodia also has a history of ruling this area, and they have the right to claim it.
You have to think about it too!”
Bah! All the P Society dogs should be shot! The surrounding people cursed secretly in their hearts, and responded enthusiastically: "Well, our Nanyang Company does not have the power to build an army or diplomacy. But once we establish a colony, we have reason to organize
The 'militia' defends itself. Once an armed struggle breaks out, we will immediately seek help from the central government..."
Then, people began to sell his colonization plan.
Nanqi has lost a large number of people during hundreds of years of competition between Cambodia and Vietnam. The southern Vietnamese regime has just swallowed this land less than 20 years ago, but the "orthodoxy battle" with the northern regime continues, leading to
They simply don’t have much energy to integrate this newly acquired land. Judging from the work summary of the Southeast Asian company, Ping Qiusheng’s nails in Cam Ranh Bay are already very stable, and there are no threatening forces around. It is completely possible to come
A wave of forced immigrants followed the template of the settlement plan played by the chosen people in a certain holy land back then, and started to open colonies.
In the entire plan, Guangzhou needs colonists - without this, there is no colony, and the colonists cannot all be refugees. It is best for them to have a cohesive core, just as the white men created the Thirteen States based on their common ground.
They have the same religious beliefs. Liu Dafu in front of him often advocates the Han Dynasty's "Ling of Relocation to Tombs", and from time to time uses this thing in informal situations to threaten the disobedient Guangzhou gentry. To be honest, this is a colony of my own, and I really don't mind having a whole
The family was exiled... It can even be said that the clan organization that belongs to backward production relations in the core territory of the Senate can be regarded as a representative of advanced production relations and productive forces in the colonial area.
Then there are the demobilized soldiers. Because the expansionary military operations around Guangdong and Guangxi have officially ended, according to the plan, a large number of demobilized soldiers are about to demobilize, but not all of these demobilized soldiers will be filled into the cadre team-that will cause the proportion of military-demobilized cadres to be too high.
, posing a threat to the health of the cadre structure. The best cadres transferred from the military are selected, and the others are trying to return to their hometowns to arrange employment. The surrounding people think that they can set up a separate security company or reclamation company militia - Blackwater and Whitewater.
Any water from the Yellow River will do. It will be good for everyone if we absorb those who have adapted to a life of fighting and killing and are not comfortable farming.
"In addition, we also have some ideas for Pathein in Myanmar, but I am afraid that this can be achieved with the strength of Nanyang Company and requires the cooperation of various departments--and of course the army."
The last thing is to maintain the early operation of the colonial system, money and materials. I didn't think clearly about this before, and revealed the idea of using financial means, which made people feel that I came with malicious intentions. Now, I have figured it out.
Liu Xiang's needs, then he knew how to speak.
Zhou Wen entered the state: "We have designed different fundraising expectations according to different fundraising times. The most urgent one is a plan to raise 200,000 silver dollars within 30 days..."
In fact, among my friends around me, the two articles about fundraising among the five "Xingjuan" articles I have read, and the Chu He plan that I have roughly read, are actually very similar. The differences between them
It is nothing more than who takes the lead in bonds or shares, and which one is promoted first. The duration, cost, and goals of fundraising activities are different. As for the specific methods, they are nothing more than "dang dang dang" and "coaxing" - of course there is no shortage of "
"Cheating, cheating, cheating" is a proposal that must be turned into a pyramid scheme, but this kind of thing that is bound to be rejected is not mentioned anywhere.
The plan that Liu Xiang is now proposed by the people around him comes from the friends who supported him at the beginning. Of course, he will not say that now. The official formulation is "based on Chuhe's plan and based on Nanyang Company's business needs."
It is revised after additions, deletions and actual conditions."
"As for the fundraising plan, it is mainly based on Chu He's proposal. He knows the specific considerations much better than I do. I suggest that it would be more appropriate to ask him to explain it to you."
Since Chu He is the protagonist of this turmoil, he is naturally the target of "appeasement" around him. In the final analysis, Chu He is because he has been "neglected", so some commercial praise can calm him down to some extent.
"That's fine." Of course Liu Xiang understood what he was thinking. Since they would continue to cooperate in the future, this favor could be done - and he personally quite appreciated some of Chu He's ideas.
Chu He had just eaten and was burping and wandering around the "garden" of the city hall to eat. To be honest, he was not satisfied with his performance in this "road show" - it was too hasty!
As for the content of the joint proposal, to be honest, he was slightly blushing.
Although there were many things that were not on the table and were not mentioned during the road show, the content was actually included in the draft. He simply could not imagine the expressions of Liu Xiang and others after reading it.
"Some things are too much to be honest." Chu He thought to himself.
While he was pondering, a naturalized citizen clerk came to him quietly:
"Chief Chu, Mayor Liu please go to the small conference room to talk."
"Oh? Are you inviting me?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou is also here."
It's not too surprising that Liu Xiang met with him alone. After all, he is the founder of the "Seven Gentlemen". But what does it mean to be around? Could it be that Liu Xiang wants to be a peacemaker?
Do you want to go? Chu He felt a little hesitant. But on second thought, Liu Xiang was here anyway, and he was not meeting alone with his surroundings.
"I'll be there right away."
As soon as he entered the conference room, people around him stood up and took the initiative to hold Chu He's hand and said: "You are the elder Chu He, I have admired you for a long time! I read all your proposals last night. It is really a good rain after a long drought."
I just wanted to talk to you right away. I never found the right time. Mayor Liu said you would have some time now, so I came over right away! Is it convenient now?"
When Chu He saw that he kept silent about the secretary's affairs, he understood it tacitly, so he got off the road and said politely:
"No, I have admired the names of the elders around me for a long time. Brother Zhou played an indispensable role in the establishment of the Nanyang Company. It's so late to meet you today."
"Hahahaha, thank you, brother. I read the summary of my proposal. I saw that I can raise 300,000 yuan a month, and the financing cost is less than 4%. If it can be realized, it will really solve my urgent need.
I personally agree with this plan very much, but the fundraising is mainly done in Guangzhou, and Mayor Liu happens to be here. Why don’t I bother you to talk about it in detail."
The two of them had a heart-to-heart MMP with each other, and ended up exchanging commercial blows.
Neither of them noticed Liu Xiang's quick roll of his eyes - this year's yield is too low compared to the current borrowing rate in the Guangzhou market. Although the market in Guangzhou is not very prosperous now and the interest rate is low, it is just average.
For private loans, according to the commonly used interest rate calculation of 9 out of 13, the interest rate can be 44% - this is under the premise that the creditor only collects interest honestly and does not do any tricks.
