Chapter 221 Five-year management contract
When a stove burning with honeycomb coal was carried into the hall of the venue, everyone was stunned as the temperature rose sharply.
Guo Haochu couldn't help but sneer: "Jiang Chen, this broken furnace is also what you said? Are you exhausted from the skills of a donkey?"
Jiang Chen ignored him, but Deng Wenhao took over the conversation and said to everyone with a proud look on his face: "Everyone, this stove is not the focus, the focus is on the honeycomb coal burned in the stove.
The cost of this honeycomb coal is far lower than that of charcoal and charcoal. It can not only provide sufficient heating, but also burn for more than two hours, but also smokeless and odorless, even ordinary farmers can afford it.
If every household in the Song Dynasty used this item, how much profit would you think there would be?"
"Really? This honeycomb coal is so magical?"
"If this thing can really replace charcoal and charcoal, I'm afraid I can earn a pot of cymbals in one winter?"
Representatives of the aristocratic families were all excited.
"It's true! Have you ever heard my chairman say anything false?
Not only that, if the hollows of the two honeycomb coal are staggered to reduce gaps, the combustion time will be longer. In winter, a stove is placed in the study and bedroom, so you don’t have to worry about getting cold anymore.”
Deng Wenhao nodded for sure, and made some demonstrations on the spot, and boiled water in the stove to make tea for everyone again.
"This honeycomb coal and stove are indeed a good thing!"
"If every household uses this item, just selling stoves, it would be an astronomical figure!"
After everyone thought about the gains in their hearts, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
Wang Jun and Zhu Yinian even said, "If the good ministers are willing to let us participate in this business, it would be fine if they should die for the treatment of the people."
After all, it is a good thing to gain both fame and fortune, and we really have no reason to refuse!"
"good!"
"It's the beginning of autumn now, and the weather will soon turn cold after the autumn harvest. It's a great time to do this honeycomb coal business! I think this matter is feasible!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
These aristocratic families and wealthy families are the original vested interests and belong to the Conservative Party that opposes the reform. Therefore, except for the few who defected to Cai Jing, most of them chose to stand on the side of the interests.
This made Cai Xie very depressed. Unexpectedly, a perfect plan they finally came up with finally was cracked by Jiang Chen so easily.
Unwilling to give up, he said with a gloomy face: "I don't know what Jiang Chen, what kind of cooperation method are you planning? If we improve the treatment of the people, will you teach us the method of making honeycomb coal for free?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
"How could he be so kind!"
Guo Haochu and Kong Duan were sarcastic.
Jiang Chen frowned and looked at them, and chuckled: "How do you selfish people who only have small families but no people in your heart, know what I am thinking?
I advise you not to be villains in vain again!”
After pausing, Jiang Chen looked at everyone and said, "To be honest, I will not only teach you how to make honeycomb coal, but even the secret recipes for distilled liquor, fried tea, and soap.
.”
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Mr. Jiang, aren't you kidding us?"
Everyone looked surprised and stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief, very suspicious that they had been hallucinating.
"I don't dare to joke with you casually!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and said sincerely: "Everyone knows that I am the one who chose God to send books. I came to Bianjing to help the officials accumulate merits and help the officials ascend to heaven as soon as possible!
Therefore, in my eyes, money, glory and wealth are just passing clouds and smoke, not worth mentioning. The only thing I care about is the word merit.
So the question is, I will give you the secret recipe to help you make profits. How can you ensure that you can improve the lives of the people and tenants under your rule and accumulate merit for the officials?
What if the people below you disobey the Yin and Yang?”
After Jiang Chen said that, he took a leisurely sip of tea, and he had all the initiative in his hands, and there was nothing to panic.
this……
Everyone was stunned and looked at Jiang Chen with all eyes and said, "With Lord Jiang's intention, what should we do to be appropriate?"
"You should know that I have issued a military order in front of Cai Xiang and the official family. I will resettle the 100,000 soldiers and their families before the end of the year?" Jiang Chen asked without answering a question.
“Is there anything wrong with these two things?”
Everyone was puzzled.
Cai Zi, who had long guessed that Jiang Chen was attentive, sneered: "Jiang Chen, can you want to use the Xiang Army to take over the industries of our major families?"
"What? He actually had this idea?"
Everyone frowned, their eyes full of vigilance.
Jiang Chen nodded with a natural look and said, "Not bad! But using the word "takeover" is not appropriate. To be precise, it is collaborative management!
If you have land, I will send someone to help you build a house; if you have minerals, I will send someone to help you burn bricks and make honeycomb coal; if you have tea houses, I will send someone to help you cook tea...
In addition to costs such as wages, you will make 80% of your profits and 20% of the Royal Chamber of Commerce! How about it?"
"This is a good thing! In this way, our profits will not only expand several times, but also don't have to worry about calculations. It's a great thing!"
"Not bad! This move is very much for my wish!"
Pan Shishan, Zhu Que and others were full of surprise and expressed their consent.
"That's a bad thing! What do you know?"
Kong Duancao glanced at Pan Shishan and the others with contempt, squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen jokingly and said:
"Jiang Chen, why bother with this? You just hand over the secret recipe to us. Wouldn't it be cheaper to find someone to do it yourself?"
"Are you an idiot? Why should I give you the recipe for nothing? Do you think I am a tenant of your Kong family? Do you have any good things and beautiful daughters to offer to you?"
Jiang Chen was so upset that he swept across everyone present and said:
"There is no free lunch in this world, and I have no obligation to present the secret recipe to you for free!
Those who are willing to help solve the danger of redundant soldiers and contribute to the stability and prosperity of our Song Dynasty will sign a five-year contract!
Within five years, the secret recipe is still in the hands of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and the power of the management of the various industries you have cooperated with is also belonged to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. You only have the right to supervise and share profits.
Five years later, all the secret recipes and all industries belong to you, and let your family arrange them! Please think carefully, and if you are interested, you can sign a contract with Director Deng directly!”
After Jiang Chen said that, he did not give everyone a chance to bargain, so he got up and left from the backstage.
"Five-year contract?"
"The management rights of cooperative industries belong to the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"
"It seems that nothing is wrong?"
Chapter completed!
