Chapter 9 Proposal
There was silence in the room. In the end, Liu Shu broke the peace of the whole room and said in a deep voice: "Cotton cloth and cotton yarn, isn't this investment a bit big?"
"So, we need to bring in more people, 9,000 acres. If we use our method to plant cotton, the yield per mu will be more than one tuft of lint. It should be no problem. With such a large amount, it is not easy to sell it, but what if it is replaced with cotton cloth and cotton yarn?"
"What do you mean!" Yang Yue's eyes lit up. As a student studying in the United States, he specializes in cotton cultivation. He also knew that the gap between selling cotton and finished veils, grey cloth, and even finished cloth, from spinning, weaving, to printing and dyeing, each link represents huge profits. This is not a small business.
"This land is rented according to your plan, 3 acres per yuan, and the expenditure is 3,000 yuan. Can we count them as half of it?"
"One and a half, according to the current amount, is reasonable!" Liu Shu nodded. Land investment has never been used in Baotou. The landlords would rather collect land rent. They wanted to refute it, but when they thought of the final profit, neither Liu Shu nor Yang Yue said anything.
"My skills can give out 10%."
Give it 10%, that is to say, the technology only accounts for half the total, this range is not small. You must know that the core of the entire cotton planting lies in Yang Yuanzhao. Liu Shu and Yang Yue looked at each other, Yang Yue laughed and said, "Yuan Zhao is really refreshed, that's it!"
Yang Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief and came to Baotou, where he was unfamiliar with his life. His purpose was to accumulate some of the strength as soon as possible. Whether it is the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, the four major families, or local masters like the Wu family and the Zhao family, he needed to win over. As for making money, light industry can make money, but what can he do with his own strength? China's Ruhr is a heavy industry for heavy industry, a heavy industry for producing steel, alloys, machinery and equipment. Light industry is just a means of making money. Relying on gold mines and all-in-one machines, money is no longer a problem. Next, it is to expand and develop. One person's power is always insufficient, and it is necessary to win over a group of like-minded people. Yang Yue and Liu Shu are considered relatively outstanding representatives of old China. One studied in the United States, had broad knowledge, the other did business in his early years, had a skillful relationship, and a strong background. The two of them were simply partners who fell from the sky.
The discussion began to expand. Under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, the regulations were re-established. The total investment amount increased from the original 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan. The land was uniformly invested at a price of 3 acres of one yuan. Yang Yuanzhao's technology accounted for 500 yuan, and then invested 10,500 yuan and subscribed 40%. Yang Yue and Liu Shu jointly recognized 30%, leaving 9,000 yuan to offer shares.
The plan was also written by Yang Yuanzhao. In the form of future plans, from investment, past information on American cotton, the use of fertilizers, etc., it specifically mentioned organic fertilizers. This is something that even Yang Yue did not get involved. However, when it comes to feces, everyone understands that the organic ingredients of urea in feces are artificially synthesized.
Baotou has a vast land and sparse population. Except for a few people who grow vegetables, the feces of people and livestock are extremely popular. It can be artificially cultivated urea, which is worthy of the king of fertilizers.
Yang Yuanzhao is the form of a plan for future generations, which is simple and straightforward. Even people who don’t know much about this industry can see the pros and cons of this plan from these items. In addition, Liu Shu, who is proficient in business, checks for omissions and fills in the gaps, and Yang Yue, who studies agriculture, supplements some data from Yang Yuanzhao, which is really a perfect match.
The more the three of them talked, the more speculative they became. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and each item was implemented. The land and merchants invested in shares and handed over to Liu Shu and Yang Yue. They were both local tyrants. In Yang Yuanzhao's request, the more land, the better, and as for merchants, the more, the better.
At this time, Liu Shu and Yang Yue had no doubts about Yang Yuanzhao, because Yang Yuanzhao had to invest a lot in the entire plan. He and Yang Yue were not as invested as Yang Yuanzhao. As the main technology provider, they only accounted for 500 yuan in technical investment. There was really not much more than a project worth about 30,000 yuan. This has completely eliminated the suspicion of a scammer, because in the plan, a company would be established. In the early stage, shareholders would invest their funds in the company's account and then put them in the ticket number recognized by everyone. To withdraw, the accountant and cashier recognized by the company's board of directors need to be jointly made, and there must be clear projects, which basically eliminates the possibility of fraud.
Yang Yue and Liu Shu, one is a student studying abroad in the United States, who has been traveling across the ocean for a few years and has extensive knowledge. The other is a juren in the late Qing Dynasty. He has been doing coin stories in the chamber of commerce for many years. With his fierce eyes, it is really not easy to deceive him. After the plan was basically agreed, Liu Shu promised that he would finish the land and prospectus matters within a week. Next, Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue could set off for Shanghai.
Yang Yuanzhao was also very satisfied. 7 days was enough for his second-level lifting of the ban. He had about 5 kilograms of gold every day and more than 700 silver dollars, which was equivalent to about 2,500 oceans. In addition, there were 3,000 oceans before. Basically, the initial funds were enough, and the processing capacity should be increased by 8 times. It would take about a week to go to Shanghai.
Yang Yuanzhao asked Yang Yue. When he came back from the United States, he took off a boat in Tianjin, Jinyu Railway, Shanhaiguan, Pinghan Line, Shijiazhuang, Shitai to Taiyuan, and took three trains. There were not many roads in total, but he took about 3 days.
To go to Shanghai, you have to travel from Baotou to Taiyuan for four or five hundred kilometers. The horse gang will take at least 3 days. Fortunately, the Liu family or the Yang family are strong, so you don’t worry about any problems. After arriving in Taiyuan, Shi Tai will take about four or five days to transfer to Hankou to Nanjing. It will take about one or two days to Nanjing to Shanghai, and another day in Shanghai.
In this way, if you have good luck, it will take 7-10 days, and there will be four or five transfers, and it will be hard to get by.
Yang Yuanzhao smiled bitterly. In the late Qing Dynasty, travel was not an ordinary difficulty. I saw that on the Internet that Mr. Bing Xin had been back and forth from Peking to Shanghai for four days. Baotou is located in the inland area, and inconvenience of transportation is definitely a major constraint. Fortunately, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which will be opened next year, will have the opportunity to transform the transportation from Baotou to Suiyuan, or even Zhangjiakou. This way can basically be opened, from Beijing to outside the pass, Hankou, and then to Shanghai, and it will be almost done. It can be seen how important the railway problem is.
This is something to be considered in the future. China needs railways, which has become an indisputable fact. China does not have heavy industry, and Hanyang Iron Factory is almost a joke. If it weren't for Zhang Zhidong's strength, Luhan Railway would not use its steel, and the quality was too poor. Therefore, Luhan Railway is also one of the railways with poor speeds. If he didn't want to take a look at Hanyang Iron Factory up close and inspect the entire Chinese industry, he would probably not have taken it.
In a few days, Yang Yuanzhao was relatively calm here. The initial preparations had been completed. Next, he was waiting, earning 2,500 silver dollars a day, so that he could wait quietly.
Sure enough, three days later, good news came. The Zhao family and Wu family agreed to invest. They did not take out the silver, but invested 210 hectares of land. In the remaining part, Yang Yue found Wei Ming and Wei Yue from the Wei family. Wei Ming and Yang Yue are both rising stars of the four major families. They are currently responsible for the business of Baotou. The Wei family's business has mainly been converted into a money house. The Wei family's Piaohao has become a large Piaohao with assets of tens of millions. As a young generation, Wei Ming is really capable of becoming the shopkeeper of the Piaohao.
