Chapter 193 Ancient Shareholders Meeting

Currently, there are 27 major investors participating in the shares, of which 5% of the dividends belong to each major investors, and 2.5% of them are Zhao Jin. Although Zhao Jin has a small share of the share, he is the only one, and he can make a profit of more than 4,200 chunks in one quarter.

And what about the twenty-seven major households?

This time, in one quarter, they can get more than 8,500 guan. In addition, some precious items from overseas can also be purchased first. Just like the high-end Korean ginseng, this thing is something that cannot be lacked by any big family. I won’t mention the health care, the most important thing is to keep your life at the end of your life, and you can say a few more last words.

But no matter what, they don’t get much money. On average, every big family gets more than 314 chunks!

If this money is placed in the house of the people, it will be a huge fortune. Maybe it is their wealth, but these big families are not rich. They only made more than 300 chunks of profit in three months, which seems a bit useless to them. This money is a lot, but not much.

Zhao Qian couldn't help but have an idea in his mind and took the opportunity to create something from the board of directors.

I thought about it and did it. On January 15, the Lantern Festival, the second year of Jingyou.

Qingzhou City was decorated with lights and the streets were filled with a festive atmosphere. On the Yunshui Tower, known as the three buildings of Jingdong East Road in Qingzhou City, Zhao Chen held a banquet, and the patriarchs of the 27 wealthy families in Qingzhou, Dengzhou and Yizhou all came to participate. The most prominent one was the Yidu Wang family of the Prime Minister Wang Zeng family, who came from Wang Zeng's cousin.

Although he was a cousin, Zhao Qian knew that this person had a lot of influence in Wang Zeng. Wang Zeng's eight-year-old father and mother were the same. He was adopted by his uncle Wang Zongyuan, who was also the first patriarch of the Wang family in Yidu. Because of this, although Wang Zeng was named a cousin, his relationship was actually closer than that of his brothers.

He was once a county magistrate, and Zhao Qian was also quite polite to him. "I didn't expect that the magistrate Wang would arrive in person. If I had known, I would go downstairs and greet him at the gate!"

Wang Siquan is already sixty years old, with white hair and a crutch in his hand. The majesty of years has left many wrinkles on his face like an axe and a knife. When he does not smile, he is like a statue of the King of Hell.

Of course, majesty depends on whom to face. If this person was King Zhao Qian of Changsha, would Wang Siquan still be so ignorant?

Seeing Zhao Feng saying polite words to welcome him, Wang Siquan's old face immediately looked like a blooming chrysanthemum, showing a slightly funny smile. "What are you saying about the prince? I am just a retired official now. Where can I afford to be such a tribute to the prince!"

"Haha! It's natural." Zhao Chen made a haha, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please invite here, the people have almost arrived. If County Magistrate Wang likes it, the banquet can be started now."

Is Wang Siquan so ignorant? An old face showed a modest smile and waved his hand, "The prince valued it, I am nervous. My friends have not arrived yet, so I dare not move my chopsticks! Besides, it's better to sit first!"

Not long after, the patriarchs of the two wealthy families came. This time it was not Zhao Jin who went to greet him in person, but Hu Keji. After all, who is Zhao Jin? The title of King Changsha has shown that he is noble. Even if he went to greet Wang Siquan, he was just at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor!

There were only four dishes on the large third floor, which seemed a little empty. But no one cared about it, they were not here to have a meal.

The chairman was naturally sitting at Changsha King Zhao Chen, who was powerful in Jingdong East Road. He was accompanied by Hu Fuchen, a wealthy family in Yizhou, Wang Siquan, and Wang Siquan, Yidu, who had hundreds of thousands of acres of land, or had children as high-ranking officials in the family. However, there were no average people sitting in the other three seats. However, Zhao Chen could see the reason at a glance. Although the number of people was not evenly average, the people sitting were clearly divided.

There are many big players in Qingzhou, many big players in Yizhou, and many big players in Dengzhou. No one crosses the boundary. In terms of the number of people, Yizhou has the largest number of big players, but they occupy fewer shares and the fewest per capita shares. Although they are chatting and laughing, they all have some concerns about other big players in their faces, and they are also somewhat lacking in confidence in speaking.

Zhao Jin didn't let the food be served either. In fact, if the matter was not made public, these big players would probably not have any taste of eating dragon meat.

After clapping his hands, Zhao Qian stood up.

Everyone immediately looked at Zhao Qian, and the maids and waiters went downstairs with tactful knowledge.

Zhao Qian smiled and bowed to everyone, but the divine se on his face was not a little humble, but a little arrogant. No one felt objection to this, because he was the King of Changsha and because his name was Zhao Qian!

After coughing and clearing his throat, Zhao Qian said slowly: "This year is also the third year that I have come to Jingdong East Road! First of all, I would like to thank you for your strong support, otherwise I would not have been able to hold this position so easily!"

"Your Majesty, please be polite!"

"The prince has done so many good deeds for the people. We grass people dare to take credit!"

"It's all thanks to the prince! What's the credit for the little one?"

After saying the polite words, the following is naturally the main topic. Zhao Chen made a silent gesture and smiled, but his tone was strong and full of majesty that could not be refuted. "I know today that we have many conflicts because of the Hai Trade incident. Although these contradictions have not erupted, no one can deny his existence!"

A big man immediately took the opportunity to complain. "Prince, it's not, that dividend..."

"Have you asked you to speak?" Zhao Qian asked with a smile, his voice very soft, as if he was talking to a little girl.

But no one dared to underestimate it. The wealthy man shivered immediately when he heard this, lowered his head and looked at the tablecloth in front of him. He looked like a poor little mouse forced into the corner of the wall by a cat.

"Oh! No objection! Since that's the case, I will continue to talk!" Zhao Qian said as if nothing had happened.

Although Hu Fuchen and Wang Siquan were smiling, they couldn't help but have a strife in their hearts. Why is Changsha King Jinri so strong? I'm afraid something will happen.

Zhao Qian looked around the surrounding big houses, and no one dared to look at Zhao Qian. With a satisfied smile, Zhao Qian continued, "Since the contradiction exists, it naturally needs to be resolved! How to solve it? In addition to this king, twenty-eight people, twenty-eight mouths, you speak every word and I say something. When will this contradiction be resolved?"

Wang Siquan asked slowly, "What does the prince mean?"

Zhao Qian glanced at Wang Siquan and smiled and said, "The meaning of this king is very simple. Now all the shares are divided into 100. Everyone gets a vote according to the amount of shares they have on hand. One share counts one vote. Just like I, holding 33% of the shares, naturally get 33 votes. What's the use of this vote? For example, if we have any proposals among us, we will let go and say why is there such a proposal? Where is the original situation not good? Those who agree will naturally vote for favors, and if they don't agree, they will object. If both sides feel that it is not good, they can abstain. Then, according to the number of votes, will this proposal be passed."

Zhao Chen paused and continued: "For such a resolution, I call it the shareholders' meeting. The stock is naturally the stock, and the east is the boss."

Wang Siquan coughed and said in a daze: "I'm rude. Although the prince's proposal is good. But the twenty-seven people are all big names in the county and state. They need a lot of busy things every day. It's impossible for the prince to attend in three or two days. Not to mention the prince, the parents are all the way, so this shareholder meeting is a bit unpleasant, right?"

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "What Magistrate Wang said is reasonable, but I have some thoughts on this issue."

Wang Siquan was stunned and asked indifferently: "Oh! I wonder what the prince has to do?"

Zhao Qian said modestly: "In fact, it is not a clever plan. It is just to set up another management agency outside the shareholders' meeting. This is what I call the shopkeeper's council. The meaning can be seen from the literal way, and it is simple."

Hu Fuchen interjected: "Simple is simple. From a literal perspective, it should be discussed by the shopkeepers of all the companies!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "That's right! This shopkeeper's parliament is actually the matter of managing the trade in the sea by us. The shopkeeper's parliament is the top management. There is one chief shopkeeper, two deputy chief shopkeepers, and four big shopkeepers. When encountering a proposal that cannot be decided, all the shopkeepers will come to discuss it. However, everything cannot be discussed in the shopkeeper's parliament, otherwise wouldn't they be too busy? Therefore, the convening of the parliament requires at least two big shopkeepers to agree or one person with a position of deputy chief shopkeeper or above. Everyone in the parliament has a vote, and they will choose to agree, reject, and abstention..."

Zhao Chen gradually expressed the new system that combined the board system of later generations with the current management system. Many of these big players did not agree with it, but gradually their faces became solemn and listened quietly.

Although Zhao Jin, the chief shopkeeper, has the greatest power and has a veto power, it actually has many restrictions. At the same time, the shopkeepers are elected by the shareholders' meeting, and they can be re-elected and removed when the chief shopkeeper is not doing well. Moreover, due to election reasons, even Zhao Jin cannot cover up the situation.

Wang Siquan couldn't help but sigh: "If the prince goes to the mall, he will probably become a person like Tao Zhugong!"

Hu Fuchen praised: "If the prince was Tao Zhugong in the shopping mall, but in the court, Wen would become Wen Zhonghou (Xiao He), and Wu would become a hero who was famous for historic history like Huo Piqi!"

Zhao Qian smiled disapprovingly. No matter how much these compliments are said, they are useless.

After coughing twice, Zhao Qian said, "Next, let's resolve the previous conflict first, and then select the seven shopkeepers of the shopkeeper's council!"

Everyone was immediately excited and knew that the most important thing was coming. Everyone was busy saying that there was no objection and asked the prince to take charge of the overall situation.
