"How many shares do you want to raise?"
Some merchants shouted that the number of shares determines the stock price.
Robert shouted, "I have a total of 70 thousand shares, accounting for 70% of the tea garden."
Many scattered businessmen laughed and thought that Robert was too much, which meant that he valued a white book of Chinese nationality in his hand at 3o and 2 thousand
Robert is serious. "Just laugh. The financial opportunity is in front of you. You can’t grasp it yourself. When you regret it in the future, to tell you the truth, Qichang Foreign Firm has invested 10,000 shares, which means you can buy 60,000 shares at most."
Qi Chang Foreign Firm gave him 102,000 yuan, and Robert gave all the money to Gao County. The county magistrate gave him all the barren hills in Wukeng Mountain area, and even measured the area. He drew a river from which people lived, and allowed him to reclaim the barren hills. After that, he was required to pay grain per mu before measuring and awarding the title deed.
Why did this county magistrate dare to let him go to the wilderness alone? According to China people, he is now living in Xin ‘an, and he is now a Qing citizen. But the more important reason is that Zhu Jinglun, a magistrate of Xin ‘an, is willing to vouch for him. He took Zhu Jinglun’s letter and gave a lot of money to Gao County, and he was happy to let him go to the wilderness for no reason. Anyway, those barren hills have been deserted for hundreds of years, except for the Yao people, that is, the Hakkas have crossed the mountains, but they have also given a very small part and most of them are still barren.
After getting this permission, Robert forced botanist John and several engineers to wander around the mountains for half a month. John told him that the local area was very suitable for planting tea trees, and the engineers told him that if he could reclaim all the mountains, it would exceed 100 thousand mu.
This figure has made his blood spurt. Twenty years later, the price of tea in China has been greatly reduced, from the past 3o to about 2o2, and it has been as low as 121 taels in the first two years.
Even at this price, Robert has reason to believe that he can make a lot of money, plug all the links, directly build a factory in the tea garden for processing, and then organize transportation to the port by himself. The profit can be more than half, and the profit can be higher if it is packaged.
One acre of tea garden in China often produces hairy tea in more than one load. If he can produce 100,000 acres of tea garden, he can get a profit of 100,000 yuan a year. Then why can’t this tea garden be worth 100,000 yuan and why can’t it be worth 300,000 yuan?
The thought of valuing yourself even accepted by Qichang Foreign Firm made Robert despise them, and they deserved to be poor.
"Can you sell me one hundred shares?"
At this time, someone spoke.
Robert laughed. "Of course!"
"But I have a request. Can I be a partner? I can raise more money for you!"
Robert looked at this man, and to be honest, he didn’t intend to recruit a partner. One of his partners was dead Thomas, and he didn’t trust anyone except Thomas.
He chose to seek financing from these bulk traders on the exchange instead of those ocean banks, just because he didn’t want Thomas’s life to be traded for the tea garden and eventually to be controlled and grew up in new york. He knew all about the practices of those tycoons.
However, the financing in the exchange is not smooth. After all, this is an Oriental small commercial exchange and the new york Stock Exchange. The difference is not the scale, but the people know each other. People here want to make quick money. No one has the patience to put money in one place for ten years before they can make profits. In new york, although there are more people who want to make quick money, they can sell their stocks at will. Stocks are as wealth as dollars.
"Can we talk outside?"
The man saw Robert hesitate and suggested.
Robert thought about it and decided to listen to this man’s advice.
This person introduced that he is an accountant and a Dutchman. His name is Sven.
The bearer was very polite, and obviously received a good education. After a while, Robert told Shiwen that he planned to raise 702,000 yuan to hire 30,000 people in the tea garden. He wanted to get the tea garden out as soon as possible, and then let the local government give him the title deed to legally own the land.
The local people can hire a strong woman with a low salary of 5 cents a day. It costs 3 cents for filial piety and 2 cents for the elderly. Now the exchange rate is 16 cents for one tael of silver, and it costs more than 330 thousand taels a year. But it takes at least three years for a tea garden to produce tea, which means he has to spend at least three years, including hiring 30 thousand people in the first year, 20 thousand in the second year and 10 thousand people to help him with his daily care in the third year.
In addition to manpower, he also needs to build a road to build a tea factory. The mountain road is very large. He plans to build a hardened road from the mountain to the mountain river that can allow carriages to pass. The scale of the tea factory is not small. He also plans to collect tea from the surrounding China tea gardens and then process them. The surrounding China tea gardens also have tens of thousands of acres.
Finally, it will cost about 1.2 million in the end.
But Shi Wen told him, "No, no, no, you need to raise 500 thousand at most."
The huge gap surprised Robert. "Are you kidding?"
Shi Wen smiled and said, "You need to pay the first year’s salary to set up the tea garden and tea factory. In the second year, you can mortgage these assets and sell bonds to the outside world. In the third year, you can sell the tea by pre-selling."
Shi Wen directly said that Robert was stupid. Before he knew that those fat bankers in new york were excellent, he didn’t expect Shi Wen, a Dutchman, to be equally excellent.
A strange idea suddenly flashed through his mind, "Are you Jewish?"
Shi Wen didn’t deny it or admit it, saying, "Is it important? I can help you save half of your shares. I think I have the value of being your partner."
Robert said, "You’re right! But you must be Jewish. Of course I’m just curious. "
Section one hundred and sixty-five Zhang Qian Shan trouble
In December, when Zhu Jinglun saw the American envoy and the China delegation off, the news of Beijing was confirmed.
In Anqing, Zeng Guofan breathed a sigh of relief. In January, he received the last message from the emperor that he would lead troops to Beijing to capture the king. At that time, Xianfeng said that Sengqin had led troops to stop the British and French allied forces in Liqiao area. Xianfeng was worried that the monk king could not stop and hoped that Zeng Guofan would try his best to capture the king in the north by Xiang.
Zeng Guofan immediately fainted when he received the news. When he woke up, he consulted with his staff. His staff said that Guangdong bandits (Taiping Army) were rampant all over the country, and Anqing was alone. Once he marched in Beianqing, he didn’t keep his word. I’m afraid Guangdong bandits would sweep the sky.
Zeng Guofan didn’t say that he didn’t want to capture the king, but sent a letter to Xianfeng asking about the actual situation. In fact, he was delaying the memorial. At that time, it was true that Senggerinchen lost or won.
However, Zeng Guofan never received the news again until he received the news that the emperor of Beijing fell and abandoned the city. He suddenly felt that he was upset after being turned upside down.
Zeng Guofan’s scholar-bureaucrat worldview is really hard to imagine whether the future situation of the imperial court will be the capture of the king at the end of the capital, or whether Hui Qin was captured by the nomads at the end of the Song Dynasty and then half of the country fell and reappeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
He couldn’t understand why the situation at this time was different from that at the first time in history, because no country had ever been occupied in history, and the emperor ran away.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the southern front of Liao Xiao Taihou pushed the Yellow River and Tokyo to shake, and Kou Zhun forced the Song Emperor to sign the clan and finally signed the Chanyuan Alliance, which was the best example of disintegrating the crisis.
The worst time in the Song Dynasty, for example, was when the Wala invaded the emperor Yingzong and was captured by the Wala people. As a result, Yu Qian held a new king in Beijing and swore to defend the city. Finally, the Wala people could retreat.
By the time of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji had plundered Beijing many times, and Chongzhen had repeatedly ordered Wang Jia to be captured and never left Beijing, so that Huang Taiji failed to attack Beijing and could look at the city and sigh.
There are also cases where the city was broken. For example, during the Song Huizong period, Jin Bingnan finally broke the seal of the city and Qin was captured. The end result was the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou Nandu established the Southern Song Dynasty, which lasted for two hundred years. Li Zicheng captured Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide.
Counting the history of recent generations, Zeng Guofan found that almost all the breaches of the capital led to the demise of the country. Even if the emperor was captured, it would be impossible to set up a new king in the capital.
But this time he really can’t understand that the capital is gone but the emperor has run away!
What’s going on here?
It’s not that he despises the courage of Emperor Xianfeng. Frankly speaking, if the capital really can’t keep Zeng Guofan, the emperor would rather run than see the emperor captured by foreigners. That’s the trouble, which has caused the Jin and Song Dynasties. If the emperor runs at least, he can come to Jiangnan to take charge of half the country.
But foreigners are different from nomads from the outside, nomads from the south and foreigners from the ocean. The final invasion is the east, where there is a history of separation between the north and the south, but there is never a division between east and west.
At this time, Zeng Guofan hoped that everyone’s understanding of foreigners was money, and he hoped that they could win the contract even if they had to pay more compensation. It would be a great luck to keep the court!
So when Zeng Guofan received the news that foreigners had signed a contract, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he also heard that foreigners had lost three mountains and five gardens (the round garden was one of them), he was not shocked or angry. Although for the emperor, it was precisely because foreigners entered his private home outside the city that they violated his day that they gave up the last chance for peace talks, but in Zeng Guofan’s view, it was just a garden that could not be rebuilt.
After receiving the news, Zeng Guofan asked the agent to listen again and see if the emperor was back to Beijing.
Like Zeng Guofan, he breathed a sigh of relief and was in Guangzhou Baigui. When he heard that foreigners were still in front of him, he signed a big sigh. God bless the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, like Zeng Guofan, he also sent people to secretly inquire about the news of the emperor. When the treaty was signed, he heard that foreigners were withdrawing troops, so he didn’t worry about the news of the demise of the Qing Dynasty. Now the most important thing is to let the emperor return to his heavenly heart.
Day officials probably have Zhu Jinglun not worried about the demise of the Qing court, but already knew the ending.
Of course, there is still one person who is not worried about Zhang Qianshan in Heshan at this time. It is not his court, but he is in big trouble.
Half a month ago, when Zhu Jinglun came back from Guangzhou, Zhang Qian Shan was immediately transferred. It was not that he was in a hurry, but that Bai Gui was in a hurry to let Zhang Qian Shan take over the rural courage in Xinhui area. It was not that Zhu Jinglun was afraid of this, but that the situation in Beijing changed every day. He needed Zhu Jinglun to deploy heavy troops in Xin’ an to attack Hong Kong or defend the gate of Guangzhou. At that time, he needed Xin’ an county courage to return to Xin’ an immediately.
The first two days after the defense, it was fairly stable. The local gentry had a family to honor Zhang Qian Shan. Whether it was natives or guests, they all longed for a peaceful day. Most of them hoped that Xin’ an County would leave and Zhang Qian Shan would continue to protect them.
After accepting these people’s filial piety, Zhang Qian Shan didn’t feel how difficult it is for local people here. He thought that Zhu Jinglun was exaggerating. At one point, he suspected that Zhu Jinglun was scaring him and didn’t want him to come here to pick up the defense. Because Zhang Qian Shan found that the conditions in this area were so good that it was close to the sea, and the trade flourished, especially at Xinhui. At this time, the root cause was that ships in several nearby counties went to sea frequently.
So Zhang Qian Shan chose Xinhui Camp because he got Bai Gui Xu Keke and asked him to set up a checkpoint at the station to get this, especially because Bai Gui method gave Zhang Qian Shan enough salary.
Looking at Zhang Qian Shan, who earns a lot of money every day, I feel that Zhu Jinglun doesn’t want him to come here to make a fortune. His advice to Zhu Jinglun has gradually fallen on deaf ears.
In addition to being new here, I invited all the squires to get together once and gave them a warning, so I didn’t take it to heart.
Things often happen by accident.
There has always been Zhu Jinglun in small-scale fighting, and it is strictly forbidden to immediately suppress any trouble, no matter who violates the rural agreement, fight.
