Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 644 Industrial Innovation Exhibition

Taking a special plane to the largest city in Ming Dynasty, Bai Mingxiu came to his palace in Shencheng City.

It is said to be a palace, but in fact it is just a villa with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters.The Supervisor of Rituals is in control of the assets of the Ming imperial family, and Bai Mingxiu is also very business-minded, so after all these years, the Supervisor of Rituals is still ranked among the top [-] richest people in the Ming Empire. One of the jokes I made was: I have more money than the emperor.

The atmosphere of Ming Dynasty has become relatively relaxed and open, so it is not too much to make such a joke.Bai Mingxiu had joked about Ma Guo, the richest man in Ming Dynasty, saying that Ma Guo was worth several times more than himself.

As the emperor, Bai Mingxiu is also regarded as a "civil servant" strictly speaking, and cannot conduct business directly or even indirectly, so from a certain point of view, the Supervisor of Rituals belongs to a trust.It's just that Bai Mingxiu will make some investment preference requirements for this "trust", and use the assets of the royal family to purchase some properties, mainly to meet the daily needs of the royal family.

The general public of the Ming Dynasty still supported the establishment of the Ceremony Supervisor, because the Ceremony Supervisor was in charge of the royal family’s property and investment, and the finances of the Ming imperial family were completely separated from the state’s finances, which actually completed the separation of the country and the family.Even bolder people would describe it this way. Although the Ming Empire is an empire, it is far from the pattern of the world in the past 3000 years. The Ming Empire is a country that truly belongs to every citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

But in this way, there is a certain possibility that the Ming royal family will go bankrupt.Bai Mingxiu is not worried about this, because the Lijian has a lot of outstanding managers, ranging from business to finance. The Lijian is like a super large group, involved in many fields, even if one or two businesses lose , but other businesses are profitable.Moreover, Si Li Supervisor is a big business, otherwise he would not be ranked among the top [-] richest people in Ming Dynasty.

Compared with many wealthy people, ordinary people don't hate the rich and hate the chief inspector.After all, this is the emperor, who does not take a penny from the country, but pays taxes to the country like ordinary people.People always joked that the most wealthy man in the entire Ming Empire who paid taxes according to the regulations was the emperor himself, and no means of avoiding and saving taxes could be used, because even the emperor could not abide by the tax law, and others could not even think about it.

The separation of the royal family and the national finances saves the taxes of the common people, so everyone supports it.The House of the Republic once proposed to pay the emperor a "salary". Of course, they still thought of a lot of names. After all, if the emperor also wanted to work for the empire, it would be too ridiculous.

This was also rejected by Bai Mingxiu. He thought he didn't need this allowance, after all, the income of the chief of ceremonies was pretty good.Even for a series of royal advisors including Yang Buzheng, the Supervisor of Rituals is responsible for their salaries.

One day in the future, when the descendants of the Zhu family become emperors, and the supervisor of ceremonies has no money, it is not impossible to receive allowances at that time.

Living in a palace where he is not very grand and even very middle-class, Bai Mingxiu is rarely clean.After a day of rest, he met with the richest man, Ma Guo, on the second day.

The richest man, Bai Mingxiu, has met several times. He is not a few years older than Bai Mingxiu, and he is less than 45 this year.In the past, Ma Guo was also a survivor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he read the Four Books and Five Classics, he never became an official.Later, I became an official and went to study business by mistake. After working as a civil servant for a year and a half, I felt inspired and went into business.

It doesn't matter if you go into the sea this time, it's like a dragon entering the sea, and it's out of control.

Ma Guo started in the printing industry, and then entered different industries. Today, Tongjin Group under its umbrella is the largest private iron and steel enterprise in China. It owns a machinery company that is the only private enterprise among the top five in the Ming Dynasty machinery manufacturing industry, and also has an aircraft manufacturing company. , shipyards, shipping companies, petrochemical equipment companies, mining companies.Ma Guo's net worth is even higher than the GDP of France, and the world is amazed by it.

However, Ma Guo himself is still a very humble literati image. Bai Mingxiu has a good impression of this richest man. He also benefits from Ma Guo’s Tongjin Group, which spends 15.00% of its profits as research and development funds every year. It has more than [-] research institutes. Institute, and sponsored the projects of many universities and research institutes.Bai Mingxiu admired Ma Guo's vision.

When the richest man sees the emperor, he is very respectful, but he is neither humble nor overbearing.After chatting for a while, and introducing the recent development and major projects of Tongjin Group, Bai Mingxiu was quite satisfied after hearing this.

"...Our Tongjin Group participated in the Daming Industrial Innovation Exhibition this time, and we have come up with a lot of innovative products comparable to state-owned enterprises and research institutes. There are even some things that we are proud to consider world-leading. Including our shipyard development Our natural gas storage and transportation system, as well as the supersonic transcontinental airliner we are researching, are such products that can become a business card for our Tongjin Group and even the entire Ming Empire’s industrial field.”

Bai Mingxiu praised: "Very good, very good."

However, Ma Guo quickly changed the subject: "However, there are still a lot of miscellaneous things in this industrial innovation exhibition. There is such a bad trend in China. Some private enterprises do not study products and optimize services, but engage in excessive marketing. To deceive consumers, I hope His Majesty can help the market to correct this bad tendency.”

Bai Mingxiu nodded: "Consumers are always impulsive. In fact, the market has always been full of irrational and illogical behaviors, so this requires our office and management unit to perform their functions well."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ma Guo flattered him.

From Ma Guo's own standpoint, compared with many private companies, he spends all his money on research and development. If he wants to innovate, he must be inferior to some companies that spend a lot of work in terms of marketing.So if Daming can curb the situation of excessive marketing, it will definitely be beneficial to him.

Naturally, Bai Mingxiu came to Shanghai to see the Industrial Innovation Exhibition.Although Da Ming's top priority at this time is to deal with the European war that is about to really participate, there is no external force in this world that can destroy Da Ming. Da Ming must practice internal strength well, develop productivity and social economy, and benefit the people of Da Ming.

Bai Mingxiu and Ma Guo went to the Industrial Innovation Exhibition by car, which is a great honor for Mr. Richest Man.

It's just that no one expected that after Bai Mingxiu came to the Industrial Innovation Exhibition for a few laps and made some high-level talks and comments, an astonishing turn of events happened.While Bai Mingxiu was enjoying all kinds of novelties, suddenly a person in the crowd raised a gun that was obviously made up of several special parts, and fired at Bai Mingxiu with a snap!
