Chapter 628: Dry stock dividends, establishment of the Ministry of Commerce!

The final result of this was jaw-dropping. The amount of money handled by the head of the Chamber of Commerce was so huge that the tax revenue of the entire Southern Territory in a year was far less than the profit the Chamber of Commerce made in just three months! This fully demonstrated how amazing the Chamber of Commerce's ability to attract money was after it was put into operation.

Because of this, the head of the Chamber of Commerce could easily find loopholes in the process of controlling the cooperation between different departments and take the opportunity to enrich himself. In the last incident, Lu Zhi did embezzle some money, but the head of the Chamber of Commerce also took a lot of money. In fact, there were many embezzled figures that Lu Zhi was not even aware of.

If only Lu Zhi and the head of the Chamber of Commerce were involved, then this matter would probably not be so easy for Gao Yao to notice.

After all, although Gao Yao occasionally checked the accounts, he spent most of his time on military construction. Corruption is like a snowball. Once it starts, it will get bigger and bigger. Moreover, as more and more people are involved, the snowball will become more and more difficult to control.

After all, if the people above want to make money secretly, the people in charge of specific matters below cannot be completely unaware. At this time, in order to shut these people up, some money has to be spent. And the more such things are done, the more people will be discovered, and the more mouths will need to be shut up. This leads to a vicious cycle: the bigger the stall, the more money needs to be spent.

However, those people were unwilling to give a portion of their profits to the other party, so they could only continue to steal from Gao Yao's profits. Although Gao Yao did not check the accounts frequently, he still knew the amount. If the profits were only 10% or 20% less, he might be able to understand it, after all, in business activities, there are always some unavoidable losses.

However, if the profit decreases by more than 30%, no matter how dumb Gao Yao is, he will realize the seriousness of the problem. After all, all the business activities were developed by Gao Yao, and he knows the approximate profit. How could Gao Yao not investigate if there was a problem? As long as Gao Yao wants to investigate, nothing in the southern region developed by Gao Yao can escape Gao Yao's investigation.

The reason why Lu Zhi was let go was actually very simple. First of all, Lu Zhi was not only Gao Yao's wife, but also the mother of his child. This relationship forced Gao Yao to consider family factors when dealing with her. Secondly, the money that Lu Zhi secretly embezzled was not used for personal squandering, but was used by her to win people's hearts. In a sense, she did this not to betray Gao Yao, but to maintain Gao Yao's position in the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, when facing her biological father, Lu Zhi was able to stop him in time and did not choose to betray Gao Yao. This fully shows that she was still loyal to Gao Yao and never had the idea of ​​betrayal. Gao Yao was also well aware of the changes in the Chamber of Commerce. This change has reached an imminent point, and he naturally cannot take it lightly.

Therefore, Gao Yao took decisive action and subdivided the Chamber of Commerce. Although the Chamber of Commerce was still a whole in name, in practice it had been divided into more than a dozen different branches, each with its own independent accounts. This effectively prevented the branches from falsifying accounts with each other.

In order to ensure that the accounts are clear and correct, Gao Yao will also periodically draw up the accounts of different branches and conduct strict reconciliation. Once an error is found in a certain link, it will not only be one or two people who will be implicated, but many people will suffer. In this way, Gao Yao not only ensures the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce, but also maintains its own authority and interests.

"Meet the Prime Minister!" As Gao Yao and Lu Zhi appeared at the door together, all the responsible persons bowed their heads almost at the same time, their movements were uniform and there was no hesitation or delay. Gao Yao nodded slightly, then walked straight to the main seat and sat down calmly, while Lu Zhi sat down elegantly in a side seat.

After everyone finished their greetings, Gao Yao said softly, "Everyone, please take a seat." His tone was gentle, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. Hearing this, the heads of various departments of the Chamber of Commerce slowly sat down as if relieved.

At this time, Gao Yao continued: "There are two main reasons why I called you all here today. First of all, I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Chamber of Commerce. It is because of your concerted efforts that the Chamber of Commerce has achieved such remarkable results. This is something that I have seen and remembered."

Gao Yao paused for a moment, looked around, observed everyone's reactions, and then said, "In order to recognize everyone's achievements, I have decided to give you a certain amount of rewards. Moreover, according to each person's position in the Chamber of Commerce, I will also give managers corresponding shares."

"Fuck?"

As soon as Gao Yao finished speaking, the heads of various departments present all showed puzzled expressions. Obviously, most of them were very unfamiliar with this term. After all, the concept of "dry shares" was still a relatively new thing at the time, and many people did not understand its specific meaning and function.

"To put it simply, let's take the restaurant as an example. This year's revenue is 3400 million yuan, so you, the corresponding person in charge, Liao Zhong, can get one-fiftieth of the profit, which is yuan. At the end of each year, I will name it as dividends, and from the shopkeepers below, the general manager can get %, the collaborator can get %, and so on, all the way up to /, every member of the Chamber of Commerce can receive it."

As Gao Yao's words flashed across the night sky, all the leaders present couldn't help but smile. They stared at Gao Yao with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they heard. Who could have expected that Gao Yao would be so generous!

This naked dividend plan was like pie in the sky for these businessmen. They knew clearly that the more money they made, the more dividends they would get. Moreover, what was even more reassuring was that Gao Yao had personally agreed to all of this, so there was no need to worry about the risk of violating laws or regulations.

It sounds like a small number, but in fact, when it is really distributed, even the most ordinary employee in the Chamber of Commerce can get an extra tens of thousands of dollars every year! This is not a small amount! How can we not marvel at Gao Yao's generosity?

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After roughly understanding Gao Yao's meaning, everyone stood up from their seats as if they were under a spell and bowed deeply to Gao Yao to express their innermost gratitude.

Gao Yao's operation, if put in the future, is actually nothing to brag about. It is just a common act of dividing dry stocks. Simply put, it is to give employees a certain proportion of shares to make them have a stronger sense of belonging and responsibility.
