After hearing Yang Yuanzhao's question, everyone showed a slightly puzzled expression. Only a trace of splendor flashed in Hou Jinsheng's eyes, and his eyes suddenly became a little different when he looked at Yang Yuanzhao.

"I know!" Liu Shu was speaking. When Yang Yuanzhao asked this question, he finally figured out why Yang Yuanzhao had asked him to sort out some Baotou data before. He almost mobilized a lot of helpers and spent a few days to summarize a batch of data.

He took the initiative to say: "Last year, Baotou had a total of 217 caravans, with a total of 2,530 carriages. He transported almost 1,500 tons of things and almost 1,200 tons of them."

Everyone's eyes lit up. They seemed to have figured out that these are all data that cannot be faked. Everyone knows. If a toll of 2,700 tons of goods is charged, one trip will be nearly 20,000 yuan, and two trips will be 40,000 yuan. In this way, the cost of this road will be back in 30 years. According to Yang Yuanzhao, this road can be used for at least a hundred years, which means that after a hundred years, it will be profitable, and this profit is quite large.

"I believe everyone has seen it. I came to Baotou and built a lot of places, from flour mills to bricks, and then to cement factories. It can be said that we rely on our Baotou to digest so many things. Once the road is built, these things can be transported out, and the quantity will become larger and larger!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they suddenly became excited. The goods had to be transported out to generate sales. Take the white flour for example. If you buy it in a flour mill, you can make a profit. The same is true for cement. In this way, the road can be operated.

"But, if you want to collect money, how do you want to collect money? Is it just like that?" a landlord asked a question and said.

"I didn't choose the original road, so I would buy another land. It is used for the construction of the road and is closed. If you don't want to pay, you can choose the original road. In addition to the road, there will be some basic investment and some toll stations will be set up. With 50-80 miles as a range, this section will choose some more critical locations, such as the entrance and exit of the valley, or the Dahe Ferry. In this case, they either pay the fee or take a detour. By the way, there will be some guardrails on the road, which is very simple and easy to lay, so as to prevent people from crossing the road and causing unnecessary impact."

Later generations had more problems with roads, and Yang Yuanzhao was familiar with them, so he solved the problem casually. Everyone's eyes became more and more excited, and some people even began to look forward to it.

Yang Yuanzhao did not say what he knew and wanted to say in its original form. The wealth brought by the road was not the road itself, but also its radiation. A road that was standard in later generations, similar to the road that was connected to every village, could become an artery connecting Baotou to Taiyuan. Along this line, almost all cities can be included in the Baotou system. Highways are always dominated by short-distance and scattered transportation. This can also make the road outward of Baotou no longer difficult and solve the biggest shortcoming and traffic problem.

"Master Yang, can I join this investment?" Hou Jinsheng said suddenly.

This surprised several people who had not yet reacted from this incident, especially Liu Shu, who looked at Hou Jinsheng with a little surprise.

Hou Jinsheng smiled and said, "Our Hou family has an obligation to contribute to Baotou!"

"Don't tease me, you are the master who doesn't show off a rabbit or an eagle. Are you so kind? How much do you plan to vote for?" An old man who looked thin immediately stood up and retorted. Yang Yuanzhao knew that his name was Jiang Wenhou, who looked inconspicuous, but he was the owner of the largest fur workshop in Baotou. Most of the entire fur business in Baotou was processed with him. He can be said to be a wealthy master.

Hou Jinsheng glared at him, then said to Yang Yuanzhao: "How about I want to invest 150,000!"

"150,000, what a stingy!" Jiang Wenhou despised Hou Jinsheng for a moment, but followed him forward and said to Yang Yuanzhao: "Young Master Yang, how about I join the team? I will pay 200,000!"

The two were rich and powerful, without blinking, one was 200,000 yuan, and the other was 150,000 yuan. It seemed that no one was short of money. They were able to stand here and attend today's ceremony. They had a close relationship with Baoken Company, with relatives and transactions. Yang Yuanzhao had explained the benefits of this business before, and they all felt that this business was a safe and profitable business. As shareholders, after investing, they could get profits. They were taken first by the two guys, of course they were not behind. Dozens of people present rushed to the scene.

Liu Shu's face suddenly turned a little bitter. He was very happy at first with such enthusiastic investment, but the amount was getting higher and higher. The dozens of people present could be said to be a group of people standing on the top of the pyramid of Baotou. Their 50,000, and the 70,000, and the Yang family. Yang Yaoyao even discussed with the family that he directly took out 120,000 in his authority, and after returning to the news, he would add it.

The four major families, all of whom are from Taiping, Shanxi, have different ideas about connecting Baotou and Taiyuan, not to mention that the investment returns are so generous.

In this way, there was only 840,000 yuan in investment, but 2 million yuan. This is not counted as Yang Yuanzhao. According to his practice, maybe half of it will be invested again. How could this be good? One accidentally offended a group of people, one Hou Jinsheng, and the other is standing behind him. The huge Hou family and the other has such a huge influence in Shanxi. The one who dares to joke about Hou Jinsheng and Jiang Wenhou is not simple. Behind him is the governor of Shanxi, who is a real local power faction.

Everyone then realized that the investment was only 840,000 yuan. Hou Jinsheng and Jiang Wenhou remained silent. Almost everyone's eyes were turned on Yang Yuanzhao. The situation on the scene suddenly became subtle.

Liu Shu was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak. In this scene, talking nonsense would cause trouble. Instead, Yang Yuanzhao looked at everyone's eyes, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that everyone is so enthusiastic. Isn't it just to build roads? Just come together. You know, this is just a road in Baotou, and there are also connections to Taiyuan, even Shijiazhuang, and each city has more places to build!"

Everyone, even Hou Jinsheng, had a bright eye. Yes, it was a road to Taiyuan. It was a road to Zhangjiakou, Suiyuan, and even Datong. It was the same road. In this sense, there were more places to be built, and even the road to Zhangjiakou was a little better than to Taiyuan.

Many Shanxi people will go to the west when they can't pass. When they go to the west, they usually contact Mongolia and Russia, and take some fur business, or some special products from China. If there is the west, there will be the east entrance. The east entrance is in Zhangjiakou, which is larger than Baotou and is also the main export of some goods from Mongolia and even Northeast China. Once this line is opened, in the future, goods from Mongolia and Chaktu can be transferred from Baotou, or radiate the west through Taiyuan, or radiate the entire central area through Zhangjiakou. Baotou's status has also been greatly improved, but the transportation volume has also increased a lot.

"It's really grand. I'm afraid that in Young Master Yang's heart, there's still a road to Kulun!" Hou Jinsheng's eyes turned and he said with a thumbs up.

"Cullun has a way, but I'm afraid the investment is too large and the output is uncertain. I originally planned to invest myself!"

"Okay, just say this to you, I will join Kulun's way too!" Hou Jinsheng said with praise.

Yang Yuanzhao was stunned. He did not expect that Hou Jinsheng would support his plan without hesitation. When did he have such a close relationship with the Hou family? At this time, others surrounded him. Yang Yuanzhao didn't have to think too much and greet them casually. Everyone else saw the interests inside. They were all the gentry in Baotou, and their relationship with Baotou was also closely related. If Baotou develops and becomes better, they will actually gain benefits. They used to think about the benefits of this road to Taiyuan. Now, they have seen the advantages of connecting Baotou and Zhangjiakou, especially the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which will be completed by the end of the year. Everyone knows the power of a railway.

"Everyone thinks this is good. We set up a highway company to specialize in these highway businesses. It is not only limited to the surrounding areas of Baotou, but also in other places. As long as we can get rich and have circulating places, can we do it?"

With consensus and common interests, the next thing will be much easier. At this time, Baoken Company joined in. Behind them are Yang Yuanzhao, the Yang family, Liu family and Wei family, which occupy 50% of the shares. Others also recognize this. The total investment amount has increased from more than 2 million to about 7 million, and 40% of the 3.5 million yuan, which is taken out by Baoken Company, and the remaining 3.5 million yuan is divided by everyone. Among them, Hou Jinsheng and Jiang Wenhou both increased the capital investment to 500,000 yuan. The two of them together are almost 15%.

Liu Shu looked at Yang Yuanzhao, and inadvertently, you started a big business. The cement system captured all the gentry in Baotou in one place, including Hou Jinsheng and Jiang Wenhou, who had never expressed their opinions. Yang Yuanzhao's ability to make trouble was really strong, but after the trouble, the company's daily affairs were thrown to him. Fortunately, Liu Shu knew the importance of the matter. No matter what the Baoken Company was, it was just developed. If you want to continue, you must unite all those who can be united. After this project is completed, the whole Baotou will be completely different.
Chapter completed!
