Chapter 359 Isthmus of Suez and Mediterranean Garrison

early morning.

The sun shines into Jiangbei Palace.

Emperor Zhu and Tokugawa Miki, the concubine who slept with him last night, opened their eyes.

Tokugawa Miki hurriedly waited on the emperor to change his clothes.

She returned to Zhongdu a few days ago.

The reason why I came back to Zhongdu.

Mainly because of two aspects.

The first is of course the education of the sixth prince.

In this regard, Tokugawa Mitsuki did not dare to be careless.

In essence, Old Liu Zhu Yizhen was a member of the princes of the Ming Dynasty, and his future connections also needed to be established in the Ming Dynasty.

He became the king of Japan, and Japan became a vassal.

Therefore, the sixth prince must receive the same education as other Ming princes.

Another issue is the situation in Japan.

During her years in Japan.

Japan has also gradually stabilized.

The local feudal lords also accepted the fact that the emperor was deposed and the king above him was the son of the great emperor.

after all

In fact, they have no objection.

A large number of ronin samurai stared eagerly at the recruitment quota for the Japanese Armed Forces Corps.

Anyone who dares to oppose the Emperor of Heaven is going against hundreds of thousands of Japanese ronin samurai.

"Today you take the sixth child to the prince's place and ask the prince to take him to school."

Zhu Yichi is already in the second grade.

The sixth child, Zhu Yixin, is only in the first grade of elementary school and has been in Japan for several years. Now he is probably a student in high school.

Emperor Zhu was wearing a plain-colored uniform.

Linen clothes don't look very luxurious.

But the jade and sword hanging on his waist can be seen at a glance to be of great value.

"Today, envoys from the Ottomans, Russians, and the United States are here. They probably have a lot of things to do. However, the Ming Dynasty does not intend to intervene in the war between the Ottomans and Russia. The Americans are probably a matter of North America. It's okay to see them.

Like this."

Emperor Zhu curled his lips and said.

Tokugawa Miki didn't even talk to her, even though Emperor Zhu didn't allow the harem to interfere in politics, and even Empress Luo often brought the prince to meet with ministers.

But Tokugawa Miki knew that the queen was the queen, the prince was the prince, and she was her.

In Japan, she is known as the "Queen Mother of the West".

But in Zhongdu.

She can only be Emperor Zhu's maid.

really.

After Emperor Zhu was dressed neatly, he came to the door and said to a female official: "Let Qian Heng, Rodriguez and others come to the imperial study. By the way, call Zhao Si and Luo Fangbo."

"As commanded."

soon.

Several ministers involved in the royal consortium were summoned.

Qian Heng is the general manager of the Royal Consortium.

When he was in Europe, he was the shopkeeper who helped Emperor Zhu manage his industry.

Rodriguez was once a financial fraudster, but has since washed his hands of it and is now a consultant at the Royal Bank.

As for Zhao Si and Luo Fangbo.

After retirement, the two established Sihai Financial Group and Xingwang Financial Group respectively.

These two consortiums can be regarded as branches of the imperial consortium - Emperor Zhu has a lot of shares and investments in both consortiums.

"Your Majesty, this is the annual report of the royal consortium six years after the liberation."

Qian Heng handed the report in his hand to Zhu Daohua.

The above records the operating conditions of the royal consortium last year.

In fact, it is now the late autumn and early winter of the seventh year of liberation.

However, because the Royal Family Consortium's business is spread over a wide range of areas and it is a truly multinational consortium, the financial reports of each region have to be delayed for several months and sent to the consortium headquarters for summary before this financial report is released.

"Operating income, 344.21 million yuan, net profit 37.88 million yuan"

Emperor Zhu read out a series of numbers in a low voice.

Because of the excitement of war.

The military, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries under the royal consortium have maintained explosive growth for several years.

But since this year, large-scale wars have ended one after another.

It is inevitable that the royal consortium in these industries will shrink one after another.

"Yes, old Qian, you did a great job!" Emperor Zhu said with a satisfied smile.

In fact, Qian Heng didn't do much.

He is a qualified shopkeeper, or in today's terms, a qualified manager.

But the specific strategy of the imperial consortium was formulated by Emperor Zhu himself.

The royal consortium has begun to withdraw from the middle and lower reaches of the specific industrial chain.

Thus began to pursue control of finance and upstream industries.

The main purpose is to control the financial industry and key technology industries - the so-called high value-added "technology industries".

This will cede the midstream and downstream industrial chains to private capital.

At the same time, we also began to establish subsidiaries that strengthened partnerships with private capital to save management costs and unnecessary expenses.

Secondly.

It is to establish a new strategic investment institution.

Establish a complete set of investment plans - As an emperor, his investment plans will naturally not be completely profit-oriented.

Instead, we pursue investments in industries that are beneficial to the country in the long term.

For example, education, infrastructure, supporting new technologies, etc.

“How much cash do we have available right now?”

Emperor Zhu asked.

"Back to the Emperor, the Royal Family Consortium currently has a cash flow of 200 million Ming Yuan, and the Sihai Consortium and the Xingwang Consortium have a total of more than 30 million Ming Yuan." Qian Heng said, "In addition, the Northeast Development Corporation can use 6,000 Ming Yuan.

More than ten thousand yuan."

"Together, the four parties have a total fund of 300 million yuan."

"Three hundred million!" Zhu Daohua raised his eyebrows.

"This is a lot of money."

Three hundred million Ming Yuan.

The equivalent of almost £180 million.

This is twice the annual revenue of the British Empire.

Behind so much money.

Of course, it was the royal consortium that brutally exploited and squeezed the lives of working people in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Daohua was not a good person to begin with.

The companies under his royal consortium are also capitalist companies.

There is no such thing as an eight-hour work system, no weekend breaks, or high benefits and high wages - companies that engage in these at this time simply think they have lived too long.
