One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 194
October 190th, the first year of Chuping ([-]), is an auspicious day for Xingjian, and everything is suitable.

On this day, the Huangshiya Iron Mine Investment Promotion Conference was grandly held at the county guard's mansion in Zhangzi County.The reason why the location of the China Merchants Association was chosen to be the prefect's mansion of Shangdang County was the result of Qin Yi's repeated consideration.

In the past, when Qiu Xi was the magistrate of the eldest son county, he blatantly used the prefect's mansion as his daily office.After Qin Yi occupied Zhangzi County, he didn't dare to be so high-profile, and has been working in the county government.This time, the business promotion meeting was going to be held, and the county government office in the eldest son county was too dilapidated, so Qin Yi took the courage to requisition the prefect's mansion.

His move has another purpose, which is to show everyone that he intends to become the prefect of the party county.This is a kind of temptation.

The weather is beautiful, and the first snow of this winter also fell on this day.The snowflakes were flying, and soon a layer was spread on the ground, and the sky and the earth were all white.

Inside the lobby of the prefect's mansion, it was as warm as spring.Eight braziers are placed around the lobby, and in the center of the lobby, there are eight tables, two of which are put together to form four square tables.There was a brazier on it, and a small iron pot was placed on top of the brazier. It was steaming, and the boiling water was bubbling and bubbling.Around the brazier, there are mutton slices, beef slices, sashimi, raw chicken pieces, Chinese cabbage, radish slices and so on.

The people attending the investment fair, regardless of the guest of honor, all sat around the four "square tables" and discussed things while eating.

That's right, Qin Yi turned the China Merchants Association into a hot pot banquet.It's cold today, and eating hot pot can not only warm up the body, but also harmonize the atmosphere of the meeting. Therefore, Qin Yi had an idea and personally guided the kitchen to make the original hot pot.

The people who participated in the investment promotion meeting were all taken aback when they saw the hot pot prepared by Qin Yi.After Qin Yi arranged for them to sit at the table and personally explained how to eat hot pot, people praised it after tasting it.

Qin Yi, Wei Ji, Zhao Yun, He Gai, and Wang Heng sat at the head table.For the remaining three tables, the remaining seventeen tyrants were arranged to sit separately, and each table was accompanied by an official from the eldest son county.

These officials used to work for Qiu Xi.After Qin Yi occupied Zhangzi County, he screened them, and none of Qiu Xi's cronies were used, and the rest were still arranged to work in the county government.

After drinking a round of wine, Qin Yi said: "Everyone, you must have read the investment promotion rules jointly drafted by Qin and Wei county magistrate. I don't know if you have anything to say?"

When everyone heard it, they immediately whispered to each other.Qin Yi glanced at Wang Heng and said, "Why don't you, Mr. Wang, take the lead and discuss the detailed rules for investment promotion?"

Qin Yi intended to win over Wang Heng, so he forced him to sit at the same table with him.

Wang Heng smiled slightly: "Then Wang will play tricks and talk about his views on the detailed rules for investment promotion, and he has the right to throw bricks and attract jade."

"Mr. Wang just speak up." Qin Yi encouraged.The rest of the people also stopped talking and looked at Wang Heng.

Wang Heng thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Wang has three unclear points about the detailed rules for investment promotion. I hope that the county magistrates of Qin and Wei can clarify Wang's doubts."

"What's the first point?" Qin Yi asked.

"The detailed rules say that Huangshiya Iron Mine will adopt a joint-stock joint venture in the future. After reading the detailed rules, Mr. Wang understands the meaning of this joint-stock system. However, what Wang does not understand is how the iron ore mining will work in the future? Still the same as before, from the... yes, winning the bid. How about the winning bidder get a piece of iron ore of different sizes based on the equity... shares he holds?"

In the detailed investment rules, Qin Yi used many words from later generations, so that Wang Heng's stumbling words were obviously not used to these new terms.

When the rest of the people heard Wang Heng's words, they also nodded, expressing that they also did not understand how the iron mine would be managed in the future.

Qin Yi said: "Mr. Wang, the previous business method you mentioned, Qin called it a contract system, not a shareholding system."

"Then what's the difference between the contract system and the joint-stock system?" Wang Heng asked immediately.

"The contracting system is to divide a large iron mine into many small iron mines, and each small iron mine is operated independently. This is also the previous business model of Huangshiya Iron Mine. Is Qin right?"

"That's right, that's how we used to mine," said a strong man from Lu County.

Qin Yi nodded and said: "Qin believes that the contracting system has great shortcomings. Every operator is independent, which is not conducive to the integration of resources. For example, Mr. Wang's family knows many craftsmen in mining, but they are skilled There are few people who are good at making iron; and although Mr. Wei's family has many craftsmen who know how to make iron, they lack craftsmen who are good at making utensils, or there are not enough cars and horses in the family, and the transportation capacity is not enough. As a result, every iron ore profits will be greatly reduced.”

"Magistrate Qin is absolutely right. Before us, every family was more or less lacking in a certain aspect of strength, so that when they needed it urgently, they either borrowed from each other or spent money to hire other people and buy things. It was a waste of energy. It’s a waste of money, and there are often conflicts over robbing craftsmen or equipment.” A guest said immediately.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, and said: "The shareholding system established by Qin is to operate the Huangshiya Iron Mine as a whole. All participating operators, who have money to pay money, someone to pay for people, and what to produce, are gathered together for joint management. That's it. First, integrating all the resources, wouldn’t it increase the income of the iron mine?”

After hearing Qin Yi's words, everyone thought about it.

After a while, Wang Heng said: "What the County Magistrate Qin said is consistent with Wang's guess. Wang's second question also comes from this. Since each family has to contribute, but the amount of each family's contribution must be different, then How should this equity share be divided?"

Qin Yi said: "It's not difficult. All the manpower, financial resources, and material resources that each family can contribute are converted into money, and according to the amount, they are divided into different shares of equity."

"Then the future income will be divided according to the shareholding ratio of each person?" Wang Heng asked again.

Qin Yi nodded: "That's right. However, if you personally participate in the operation and management of the iron mine, if you hold a certain position in the iron mine, you will also receive another salary, which will be included in the operating costs. "

Everyone nodded after hearing Qin Yi's words.

Qin Yi looked at Wang Heng: "Mr. Wang, can we talk about your third question?"

Wang Heng nodded slightly and said: "Wang's third question..." At this point, he suddenly paused and his expression became hesitant.

Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, "As I expected, it's not bad. Mr. Wang thinks that the government has taken up [-]% of the shares, which is too much?"

Wang Heng smiled awkwardly: "Magistrate Qin...Wang really believes that the government has taken [-]% of the shares for nothing, which seems a little too much."
