Zhang Yu had already read about Nanyang Company's stock offering from the "Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce Weekly". This weekly report is published once a week and is provided to members free of charge, but most people just use it as wrapping paper. But for Zhang
For these businessmen who already know the Senate's routines to some extent, this is an important window to understand the direction of the Senate's policies.
The nature and role of the Nanyang Company, as well as raising shares and issuing bonds, have been reported in detail in weekly newspapers. Although Zhang Yu was a small businessman in the 17th century, commercial finance such as raising shares and issuing bonds are not modern inventions.
Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty also had its original version. Even if it was a small store like his old shop, there were neighbors depositing money on the counter and collecting interest - isn't this the issuance of bonds?
Zhang Yu very much agreed with the matter itself. In his opinion, whatever the Senate did was correct. The Nanyang Company's stock offering and bond issuance was actually another huge "wind outlet" - yes, Zhang Yu was already very proficient in it.
Use these new vocabulary words.
Going to Nanyang to make a lot of money is a consensus among Guangzhou citizens. After all, they have seen too much. However, going to Nanyang also means great risks. Many people never come back, and some people are lucky enough to come back because of various reasons.
The reason is poverty. Most people don’t have the financial resources or the courage to try.
Zhang Yu knew that the Australians themselves made their fortune as maritime merchants, and they had all kinds of big ships and heavy artillery. The money they earned every year was like running water. If they could rely on them to do business in Nanyang, they would just make money while lying down. Now for the industry and commerce
The opportunity for members of the association to subscribe is not only for raising funds, but also to recognize that they are "one of our own".
He understood what Gao Ji meant: whether it was stocks or bonds, he wanted to coordinate with himself in terms of the number of subscriptions. He also understood the reason. Gao Ji was now the No. 1 businessman in Guangzhou under the Senate, and he was the No. 2.
Although the scale of his wealth is not even comparable to that of Gao Zhi's little finger, his status is very high. When it comes to the subscription amount, Gao Zhi naturally listens to his plan first, and then considers a reasonable amount to take into account his face.
This kind of thinking would naturally be used by other people - the problem is that Zhang Yu doesn't have any spare money in his hands, but it adds a lot of troubles.
If you tell Gao Ju that you don't plan to subscribe, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Gao Ju? All his good intentions will be in vain. Mr. Gao is now a rare "friend" of Zhang Yu in the Guangzhou business district, and many business-level matters may be
He gives suggestions or helps solve problems. From various perspectives, it cannot disgrace him.
Besides, as a "key private enterprise" supported by the Senate and one of the twenty-five council members of the Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce, I actually spent nothing on a project as big as the Senate. What is your intention? What kind of attitude do you want to express?
?
Thinking of this, a chill ran down his back.
It's cold at high places. Young brother Zhang has already deeply experienced this feeling.
Where can I find some money? He thought to himself, feeling that he had never worried about money like this before - even before he was developed, he would not have been unable to sleep because of it.
This morning, he went to the factory for a routine walk to check on the situation. After listening to the reports from the supervisors, everything in the factory was normal. He also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the store.
Although the store's signboard is the name of Zhangji Old Shop, it is not technically his company. However, the fact that he is the young owner of Zhangji Old Shop is real in the hearts of ordinary Guangzhou citizens. Therefore, he is often in the store.
Show up, greet customers, and ask for their opinions. First, it means that you "don't dare to forget your roots." Second, you also use this to solicit feedback from customers on your products. Nowadays, product output is high, and many new varieties are launched.
Just have first-hand feedback.
Zhang Yu has been helping in the store since he was a child, and he is most familiar with the routine of greeting people and sending them off. He is handsome and has a sweet mouth. He has made many good friends in his store. Especially after he became rich, he would go to the store to greet customers from time to time.
, and even won the favor of many people.
There were few customers in the afternoon, and Zhang Yu was sorting out the accounting behind the counter. Suddenly he heard the waiter's greeting. He looked up and saw two customers coming in. One was tall and the other was short, both wearing short hair and t-shirts. The short young man walked in front.
, about sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a briefcase in his hand, followed by a tall man with fair skin, about thirty years old, and looked in a good mood.
At first glance, he looked like he was "eating Australian food". Zhang Yu didn't dare to neglect and quickly put down the account book.
Looking at the expressions and behavior of the two, he immediately concluded that the tall man was a "senior". This was not only reflected in his expression and posture, but also in his clothes: he seemed to have a similar style to the short man, but the materials and tailoring were obvious.
Not on the same level.
It is not unusual for Zhang Yu for elders to come to the shop to visit and shop. After all, the Zhang family's walnut cakes are famous, and the elders also want to see and taste them with their own eyes.
But the more people came, the more cautious Zhang Yu became. He kept in mind his father's teachings: "One hundred people, one hundred hearts." It was true that Hong Yuan and others thought highly of him, but they couldn't tell what the other elders were thinking. So he set up shop in the store.
It is a dead order that all guests should be entertained attentively and no guests should be treated lightly.
Since he was a veteran, he was even more cautious and hurriedly greeted him personally, bowing and saying: "Welcome to Zhang Ji's Dim Sum Shop. What would you like to order?"
The elder didn't answer immediately. After looking at the entire store, he said, "I just took a look."
Now it became more and more serious to challenge the identity of the elders. Zhang Yu had been in contact with the elders a lot and knew that the elders had different temperaments, but they were very similar in one thing. Everyone tried to show that they had a deep knowledge of the city. So they often spoke very briefly.
He rarely makes specific statements in public.
He immediately responded: "Yes, yes, please call me if you need anything."
Chu He scanned the store. The decoration style here was very similar to that of Zhongyi Trading Company - nine times out of ten, they were contracted by the same construction company. However, the decoration was a little more elegant. The counters against the wall and the displays in the middle of the store
The tables are all made of glass food jars with glass lids. They are filled with all kinds of snacks, biscuits and candies. It seems to have the feel of Yili Food Company in the 1980s.
Seeing so many varieties, Chu He was a little hesitant - he wanted to try it, but he didn't know which was the most famous walnut cake. When he was about to ask, Zhang Yu had already answered.
"Chief, if you are not sure, you can try the taste first." After saying that, he came over with a large lacquer plate.
The lacquer plate is rectangular and very large. The upper door is divided into many small grids, and each grid contains a number of pieces of snacks and candies. As soon as you approach it, you will be overflowing with sweet fragrance, and there is also a tangy mixture of spices and dairy products.
A greasy aroma.
Chu He smiled and said: "Your family has quite a lot of varieties!" He did not pick up the toothpick immediately and asked again: "I have long heard that your walnut cake is very famous, which one is it?"
Zhang Yu quickly put down the plate, pointed out, and said: "These boxes are our store's signature walnut cakes, which are available in three flavors: original, salt and pepper, and sesame candy."
Chu He picked up the toothpick and ate a few slices - to be honest, although the taste was good, this kind of food with heavy oil, heavy sugar and heavy seasoning was not delicious to the people of the old time and space.
However, he still smiled and praised: "It's delicious!" After that, he said to Park Ji-hyun, who was already showing a greedy look: "You should try it too."
Park Ji-hyun was waiting for this sentence, and immediately picked up the toothpick and started eating it, saying, "It's delicious!"
Chu He said: "These three flavors of walnut cakes cost two kilograms each. I want to travel a long way and pack them firmly."
Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Chief, please rest assured. The store has special travel packaging. The rattan jacket is packaged in a wooden box with paper inside. Even if the car and boat are bumpy, it will still be intact when you get home..."
Chu He smiled and said: "You know I am a veteran?"
"As soon as the chief entered the house, I knew it. The chief's demeanor and demeanor are not what ordinary people can have..."
"Okay, okay, stop flattering." Although flattering is low-level, it still sounds useful. Chuhe looked him up and down at this time and said, "You are Zhang Yu, the young master here, right?"
"Don't dare to say the word "young master". The youngest one is Zhang Yu."
"No matter how small or big you are, you have shaved your head and are wearing our Australian clothes. Why do you still talk like this?"
"Yes, yes, I am Zhang Yu." Zhang Yu thought to himself that this chief's routine is the same! But every time a strange elder comes, he calls himself "little", firstly to show humility, and secondly, to have the chief's face.
Although I say I don’t like it, I actually enjoy the tone.
When Zhang Yu saw Mr. Chu Yuan looking around, he immediately greeted him: "Chief, please take a seat on the second floor and wait for me to serve you tea."
Chu He originally wanted to talk to this benchmark private entrepreneur in the Senate, and then said: "Okay, I also wanted to talk to you." After saying this, he said to Pu Zhixian who was "tasting": "You
Try them all and bring some to your sister if you find something delicious."
Park Zhixian said: "My sister loves sweets! I think it's just right to buy a pound or two of everything..."
Chu He smiled and said: "Are you planning to feed your sister into a pig? She has gained a lot of weight these days!"
Zhang Yu laughed with him and said that Chu He welcomed him into the reception room on the second floor. This is where he specially entertains guests and discusses business. The decoration is also done in the "Australian" style. Although he did not get the authentic "Australian leather"
/fabric sofa", but the full range of Australian rattan living room furniture is also the first in Guangzhou.
Because it was winter, hand-embroidered cotton cushions were placed on the rattan sofas, which were very comfortable to sit on. Chu He looked at the reception room and saw a black plaque with gold letters hanging on the wall, which read eight words: Be a solid person.
, operates sincerely. On the other side of the wall are four posters: "Carry out a new life movement!" "It is everyone's responsibility to prevent epidemics and eliminate rats", "Strictly guard against spies!" "Activate the market and meet the needs of the people."
