Infrastructure masters in the red building

Jia Fang asked about Lao Yao's failure experience in setting up factories in the past, and the "cement No. 1" immediately opened up the chatterbox, talking about the past endlessly.

"The villain has tried this before. He said it was a partnership, but the other party suddenly brought in a lot of people, all under the banner of learning to burn bricks, and kept telling Uncle Yao not to work so hard. What work do they do? The younger generation will do it..."

Jia put it aside, the more he listened, the more amusing he became. He wondered if it was because of this that Lao Yao gradually disliked those young people who were particularly eloquent.

"...Later, the bricks they burned became worse and worse. They broke when they were knocked, and they were all hollow. I wanted to stop them from selling these black-hearted bricks, but who knew that I can’t stop them, they all say that I don’t own the brick factory alone, and I don’t count what I say.”

"What about later..."

Lao Yao didn't go on talking, but Jia Fang thought that there would be no later ones.

"The villain has the same idea about the cement factory this time. Not everyone can make this cement. The quality of the cement varies, but it is all produced by my cement factory. If the cement is sold outside in the future I've gone, when others mentioned it, they all said that it came from our Taoyuan village..."

Jia felt relieved: It turned out that what Lao Yao was most worried about was actually the quality of the final product.

"Also, I'm an honest person, I don't care much about people, if the younger generation say something sweet to me, I just let them go, and if something happens, I can't hold back my face and blame them..."

"In my whole life, I can only build kilns, burn bricks, tiles, and cement..."

So far, Jia Fang has fully understood Lao Yao's concerns.In his opinion, Lao Yao is a technical streamer with high demands on himself, and only wants to make the best products.That's why I was very resistant to the fact that others bought shares in the cement factory.

This is much better than Jia Fang expected.Jia Fang originally expected that Lao Yao would not let people buy shares for reasons such as money and to monopolize this treasured land of geomantic omen.Now that he understands Lao Yao's thoughts, Jia Fang is completely relieved, he is fully sure that he can persuade Lao Yao.

"Old Yao, what I'm talking about is a joint-stock cooperation, which is different from the brick-making joint venture you used to do in Yujiang."

"This joint-stock cooperation means that the investor and the day-to-day production management side are separated. Although others contribute capital, they can also get dividends according to their shares, but they cannot directly interfere with your daily production."

"As for your daily production, Lao Yao, to be honest, I really think you should build two more cement kilns and find more people to burn the kilns together. But you should follow your own standards and hire those young people who are hardworking and hardworking. .Even if the wages are a little higher, try to hire the best people."

"If you feel that you can't manage these things, it doesn't matter. You can find someone who is good at managing people to help you do this. For example, your son, I am very comfortable with people, and others listen to what I say. You have to go in. You can leave these things to him, and you can just focus on the heat of the kilns and the quality of the cement..."

Jia thought at ease: Since Lao Yao is a technical streamer, he will only care about technical matters from now on.

Once the scale of this cement factory is large, the people at the top should not take over everything. They can manage everything, but they can't manage everything well.Only by introducing a joint-stock company structure and a modern enterprise management system and clarifying the division of labor can Lao Yao's cement plant be expanded.

In fact, Jia Fang has also considered many other options, such as whether to introduce competition-is it not good to have only one cement factory in the entire Taoyuan Village?

As long as he nods his head and approves a few pieces of land by the Qingfang River, there will be many cement factories springing up like mushrooms after rain.

But now is the peak time of construction in Taoyuan Village, if the competition turns into vicious competition, just like when Lao Yao was in Yujiang, the quality of the cement fired by each family is getting worse and worse, then the Taoyuan Village will change everywhere Tofu dregs project?

The cement produced by Lao Yao's cement factory is of good quality and the level remains stable.Jia Fang thinks that even if there is a monopoly at this stage, there is actually no big problem-as long as the people who monopolize are Jia Fang's own people.

"Old Yao, after all parties contribute, your cement factory will form a shareholders' meeting, and each shareholder will have a certain percentage of voting rights according to the number of shares in their hands. If more than half of the shareholders vote not to let you manage the factory, theoretically They have the right not to let you manage the factory, after all, they paid for it, which means they own more than half of the factory."

Old Yao was frightened by the prospect Jia Fang painted, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then... what should I do then?"

Jia Fang comforted him with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Because I will also invest money in your factory, and I will guarantee that the combined shares in your hands and mine will just exceed half of everyone else."

As soon as the news spread that Lao Yao's cement factory was open for investment and shareholding, it caused a sensation in Taoyuan Village. Anyone who has some spare money now fell in love with Lao Yao's business and wanted to invest money in it to raise shares.After all, the cost of burning cement is very small, and the demand is huge. In the eyes of outsiders, it is simply a huge profit.

But Lao Yao only opened up the investment amount of 490 taels, and recruited people from the village to invest in units of twelve taels.

"Why are there still zeros and wholes?" After hearing about the amount, many people were very curious.

"It is said that Lao Yao converted the current brick kiln, tile kiln and cement kiln into equity. He took 260 taels, and Mr. Jia paid 250 taels. A total of 1000 taels will be raised, so there will only be 490 taels left?"

"Hey, this old Yao, he refused to tell him no matter what, who knew that he went to find Mr. Jia as soon as he turned around." The villagers heard that Qi Qi began to despise Lao Yao's "duplicity", but what he said None of them dared to complain in front of Jia Fang, and none of them could afford 250 taels.

"Twelve taels is equivalent to getting one share (1%) of the cement factory. In the future, if the cement factory distributes dividends, you can get one share of the dividend." The person from the financial office explained to the people in the village.

"Then I pay 20 taels, can my son go to the cement factory to get an errand?"

Lao Tu shook his head: "No way! Now the cement factory has to go through a formal process for recruiting workers. It doesn't mean that if you are a shareholder, the factory will definitely hire your big brother."

"However, if your son is really willing to work hard, you can go directly to the recruitment office. We will see if it suits you."

"Then...is it useful to find Lao Yao?"

Lao Tu said regretfully: "It's useless, Lao Yao doesn't care about these things now. You all know that Lao Yao always treats people with shame, so he is too embarrassed to use the person you recommend, so he simply entrusts the job to him My son. You all understand Dayao's temper..."

Hearing that Dayao was in charge of personnel affairs, the villagers were a little resentful, but some people decided to try their luck after inquiring about the treatment at the cement factory.There were also people who did not give up, and pulled Lao Tu and asked: "Is there really no other way? I have paid for it, and I can't even say a word about the affairs in this factory?"

Lao Tu laughed and said: "As long as you get a share in the factory, you are a shareholder of the factory, and you will be given a share of the dividends in the future. The factory will hold a shareholder meeting every year, and I invite you to come and talk about it." The situation of the factory, the profit, and the dividend. If you are in a hurry to use the money, you can sell the shares in your hand to others, just come to me and register."

"But, you definitely want to get involved in the affairs of the factory. That ten taels of silver is not enough for one share."

"You have to find a way to get enough 500 taels of shares—note, there are only 490 taels in total. Unless you can buy some shares from Lao Yao or Mr. Jia, you can hope to get enough." Lao Tu explained very kindly.

"Then what's the point of paying? No!" Many people held their breath and turned to leave.

Lao Tu didn't care about it, and continued to shout these "shares" to other people: "I have the accounts of the cement factory here, which are made by the people from the Investment Promotion Office and the Finance Office. Keep them accurate! Invest ten taels of silver in Lao Yao's place. According to the current profit of the cement factory, it is estimated that it will be recovered in about five years, and it will be a net profit in the future—”

The people in Taoyuan Village are not stupid, each family has an account of how much spare money they have and how they plan to use it.After weighing, some made decisive moves, while others decided to give up.But in short, all 49 "shares" were sold.It is said that the fact that Jia Fang invested nearly 300 taels of silver by himself stimulated everyone. Everyone felt that it was true to follow Jia Fang to vote...

Jia Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he got the news that the joint-stock cement plant had successfully raised shares for the first time, and felt that people in this time and space are also very investment-minded.Originally, he was thinking that if these shares could not be sold, he would have to eat up all the shares himself - which sounded a bit embarrassing.

As for why he must try to implement a modern company system in this time and space, it is mainly because Jia Fang thinks that most of the villagers in Taoyuan Village are "business partners" they met only here, and then join hands to start a business. The Sancun canteen is like this, The same is true of Jinhua Textile Factory.

The members of these enterprises are not connected by family blood relationship, but they join hands to start a business purely during the period of finding their own way out.

The introduction of modern management methods will help reduce possible conflicts and frictions in the future.

In addition, Jia Fang believes that these companies under his command have the ability to grow bigger.When they get bigger, and then introduce advanced management methods and concepts, it will be painful again, so it is better to start now.

When Jia Fang passed by the Finance Office, he glanced at the accounts of the cement plant that were posted here.In fact, the main reason why he chose the cement factory is that the cement factory has always had Xiaoyu to help with the accounting, and the financial situation is clear, so it is the first opportunity to try out the joint-stock system today.

He was quite proud of his "foresight".

After being frantically busy with the development and construction of Taoyuan Village and the official duties of the Pingnan Jiedu Envoy, Jia Fang finally returned to the Grand View Garden.Jia Daishan also informed him that time is almost enough, and he can go out and walk around Beijing in a relatively low-key premise.

It is true that Jia Fang needs to go out - the place he is going to is naturally Baigongfang.

Last time, he ordered a high-powered magnifying glass from Baigongfang, so he gave advice to the craftsmen of Baigongfang on how to make glass.Now he came to Baigongfang again, in addition to looking at the progress of glass, he wanted to order a "microscope" and some transparent "petri dishes" for Zhang Youshi.

Glass has always been a sharp weapon for traversers, but Jia Fang still chose to give up this "sharp weapon" to Baigongfang.Because he believes that Baigongfang has a better industrial foundation and is easier to do.

Instead of directing a group of villagers with no foundation to try to make glass, it would be better to leave it to the craftsmen of the hundred workshops who have both skills and tools.

This time Jia Fang came to Baigongfang and immediately got the "petri dish" he wanted - transparent glass cups of various sizes.The quality of these small glass cups is very good, there are very few bubbles, but the color is a little greenish, not pure enough.But in Jia Fang's view, it is already very good.

Microscopes are more complicated, and the mirror glass is special glass, which needs to ensure clarity and focus.He estimated that Baigongfang still needs to ponder for a while, so he just left the drawings and requirements and let the craftsmen do it freely.

Jia Fang was still communicating with the craftsmen. Shopkeeper Ren came in and whispered a few words in Jia Fang's ear. Jia Fang immediately said cheerfully, "Okay!"

Shui Xian asks him to meet at Wan Qing Building.

When Jia Fang went there, besides Shui Xian, he also saw Lin Ruhai whom he hadn't seen for a while.I haven't seen her for a few months. Lin Ruhai seems to have lost some weight, but she is in good spirits, and her whole person is becoming more and more detached.

"Brother Ruhai, I have heard that you are going to end a long time ago. This time, you will definitely be in high school. My little brother first wishes you the top spot and wins the toad palace!" Jia Fang knew that Lin Ruhai would take part in the test soon, so he hurriedly said a few words Good word, wish him all the best.

Lin Ruhai smiled and thanked Jia Fang: "Thank you Zifang, I said that I have been away from Beijing for several months, and many things have happened in Beijing!"

Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Fang, Jia Fang looked at Shui Xian, Shui Xian spread his hands: "It's not me!"

The words "Shui Xian" meant that he did not act as an ear teller, and all the news was obtained by Lin Ruhai himself.

But it's normal when you think about it. Lin Ruhai's ancestors were five generations of princes and officials. As long as he pays attention to the movements in Beijing, he should be able to find out about those things related to Jia Fang, and know that he was hit by a pie that fell from the sky. , there is an official position of the second rank on his head.

So Lin Ruhai solemnly congratulated Jia Fang: "Congratulations Zifang! When will Zifang take office?"

Jia Fang looked at Shui Xian, but could only bite the bullet and said: "I just went to order a diao a few days ago, and after a general look, it turned around immediately."

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Shui Xianan sitting there quietly, with no expression on his face. After a while, a barely noticeable smile appeared on the corner of Shui Xian's mouth.

Jia Fang suddenly felt hot on his face. He knew that the other party should have understood the letter he sent to Shui Xian a few days ago—in front of a friend who knew everything, he told lies to cover up another friend...but he also There is no way to tell Lin Ruhai directly, and I feel so uncomfortable.

But Lin Ruhai was very happy, and only heard him happily say: "Then I will always be in Beijing these days!"

Jia Fang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm still waiting for news from Brother Ruhai's high school, and to celebrate for Brother Ruhai!"

Shui Xian raised his eyelids: "The Sea of ​​Toad Palace Zhe Gui Banquet has been set up in my Wan Qing Building, don't compete with me."

Lin Ruhai blushed at this moment and said: "You two, I only want to be on the list, you two, don't act like I said...to be stable."

Jia Fang and Shui Xian laughed together and said: "You are indeed very steady!" The two thought of something again, which shows that they have a tacit understanding, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.Immediately, the atmosphere at the table was harmonious, and all three of them felt extremely comfortable.

During the dinner, Lin Ruhai suddenly asked Jia Fang: "Zi Fang, is Brother Ling also taking this exam?"

Jia Fang nodded: "My brother is also in Jinke. He has been studying books at home recently, and it is even difficult for me to see him." , It's time to go out, it's time to meet friends, it can be seen that the mentality is good, and everything is under control.

Unlike Jia Zheng, he is like facing a big enemy.Comparing the two, it is obvious that they are superior.Jia assuredly knew that Lin Ruhai should be in high school, but Jia Zheng would be pretty good if he got in.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Shui Xian suddenly asked Lin Ruhai: "Has Ruhai ever made a marriage agreement in his hometown?"

Lin Ruhai blushed immediately, but looked at Shui Xian with gratitude, thanking him for breaking the news.Just listen to him answer honestly: "Little brother is not engaged yet."

Shui Xian smiled immediately: "Then Ruhai is probably going to make good preparations for the son-in-law who is under the list, maybe then there will be double happiness?"

Lin Ruhai's face turned even redder, and she just buried her head in her food and dared not speak.After eating for a while, Lin Ruhai dared to take a peek at Jia Fang, only to see Jia Fang was deep in thought.

Neither Lin Ruhai nor Shui Xian knew what Jia Fang was thinking at the moment.Jia Fang was actually thinking: Ordinarily, Lin Ruhai and his sister Jia Min are a couple... But, I don't know what my sister thinks.What if... my sister doesn't want to marry Lin Ruhai?
