Chapter 1193 Silver Shares and Body Shares
After all the invited people arrived, Sun Shan finally arrived with his colleagues.
When everyone saw him, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
The big-headed dog suppressed his inner fear and stood up tremblingly along with the large group, and greeted Sun Shan: "Master Sun, you are here."
Sun Shan secretly glanced at the pale big-headed dog and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Never mind, I didn't piss myself, which is a good performance.
After all, it was the first time, and Sun Shan quickly forgave Big Head Dog's rudeness.
Sun Shan sat in the middle, while the lame Master Zhang was standing.
It’s not that Sun Shan doesn’t care about the disabled, but the lineup needs to be arranged in this way, so the master has to be wronged.
Sun Shan still smiled gently and greeted everyone: "Everyone, I am polite. I invited you to the government office today because I have important matters to discuss. Thank you all for coming."
The gentry, merchants and landlords below hurriedly said, "It is our honor to be invited here. Sir, you are so polite."
Sun Shan also didn't want to waste his time on "fake flattery".
Because everyone present was of lower status than him, he didn't need to hide anything when speaking.
If it is a superior, he will enter the topic more tactfully.
Sun Shan continued, "This time I invited you all to discuss the trade of guano."
Sun Shan looked left and right and invited twenty-two families.
There were more than twenty-two people present.
After secret observation, it was confirmed that every invited family had come.
It seems that everyone is still very interested in the bird droppings business.
When everyone heard Sun Shan mention guano directly, they thought it was nothing. No need to mention a bunch of prefixes, just get straight to the point.
The anxious businessman A thought he knew Sun Shan very well, and asked impatiently, "Sir, are you going to decide how much the guano will be sold today? Are you going to let us participate?"
Such a blatant question immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the "old money".
The newly rich businessman really has no manners. He shouldn't be the first to speak.
I don’t know what Lord Sun was thinking. Why did he invite such a person?
Sun Shan looked at the wealthy businessmen A, B and C gathered together.
They look like a family at first glance, and the corners of my mouth twitched involuntarily.
Sun Shan didn't say anything, but gave Master Zhang a wink.
A high-ranking person like him should remain aloof when necessary. He should avoid speaking if possible and keep a mysterious distance.
Master Zhang understood immediately, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me slowly and carefully."
After saying this, Gui Ge'er took out a stack of papers and distributed them one by one to everyone present, including the semi-illiterate Big Head Dog.
Master Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a look at what is written above and listen to my explanation."
Everyone held a piece of paper in their hands, looking at each other, wondering what Sun Shan was going to do.
Everyone looked at the paper curiously, and the first line read: Plans for the bird droppings business.
What?
Do I have to write articles even if I’m selling bird droppings?
Master Zhang looked at Sun Shan, and Sun Shan nodded.
Master Zhang continued, "Everyone, before you start trading guano, you must make it clear what the silver and personal shares of the guano business are."
The so-called silver shares are shares held by real shareholders.
The so-called personal shares are a reward from the boss to the employees, in the form of shares, so that the shopkeeper and the clerk feel like shareholders. Personal shares are not subject to losses but cannot be inherited, and will be cancelled when leaving.
This name is popular among Shanxi merchants.
Master Zhang said that when this concept came out, any businessman who understood business would have heard of it.
The gentry, wealthy businessmen and landlords present already knew the purpose of Sun Shan's invitation, which was nothing more than investment.
Understand what Yin Gu is talking about.
Just personal shares? Does the profit from selling guano have to be shared with employees?
Master Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone, let's divide the guano business into 100 shares. Whoever pays more will get more. Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood. In business, the more money you spend, the more you earn.
Zhang continued, "Because the forest land where the bird droppings are found is government land, 30 shares must be given to the Lifen Yamen."
Everyone looked at Sun Shan.
If we give it to the government, wouldn't that mean Sun Shan can just take it?
Sun Shan said seriously, "The profits from the government will be used to build bridges and roads in Yuanlu, help the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, educate the people, and provide disaster relief, etc. As for where the money is used, it will be recorded in the register. As long as you invest money, you can check it."
Everyone present was smart and understood what Sun Shan meant.
But do they have to believe whatever Sun Shan says?
Of course I don’t believe it.
If an official doesn't engage in corruption, what's the point of studying so hard?
Everyone complained inwardly, but kept silent.
Master Zhang looked at Sun Shan.
Sun Shan nodded.
Master Zhang pointed at the big-headed dog and said, "This brother is Sun Guixin, Master Sun."
Everyone looked at the big-headed dog, but they all looked at the bob haircut.
It was the first time that Big Head Dog was called "Master" and his dark face turned red.
Fortunately, he still remembered Sun Shan's teachings, stood up, bowed, and then immediately sat down without saying a word.
Master Zhang continued, "The bird droppings in Big Bird Village were all discovered by Master Sun. The reason why bird droppings have become a good fertilizer is also thanks to Master Sun's hard work in developing it. Therefore, Master Sun must take a 10% share of the profits from the sale of bird droppings."
Audience who knows the inside story: ...
County Magistrate Wang, who was sitting below Sun, twitched his lips and really wanted to roll his eyes.
Lord Sun and Master Zhang are very good at telling lies with their eyes open, without blushing or even blinking.
Tool Man & White Gloves----The big-headed dog didn't move, as if Master Zhang was not talking about him.
Sun Shan sat quietly. He had no objection, and he believed that no one present would have any objection either.
Everyone understood that this was Sun Shan's 10%, and not only did they not think it was too much, they even felt it was too little.
After putting in so much effort, you only get 10%?
They won’t believe it even if you kill them!
As for the 30% from the government office, Sun Shan will definitely find an excuse to embezzle it later.
Emma, this Lord Sun is so greedy, he wants 40% for such a big deal!
Everyone was very dissatisfied, but they just didn't want to be the first to take action.
They looked at each other in silence, waiting for Wang to speak.
Old Master Wang and Master Wang sat still, not moving.
Humph, you'll never be the first to do this!
If you want to do it, you have to listen to the entire plan before objecting.
Let’s see what kind of trouble will happen under Sun Shan.
When Mr. Zhang saw that no one was talking, he said, "There are 60 shares left, and each share is 1 taels. The more money you pay, the more shares you will get. But there is a prerequisite. One family cannot buy more than 50 shares."
Old Master Wang was also planning to purchase thirty or forty shares, and the Wang family could definitely afford that amount of money.
When he heard that he was not allowed to buy so much, he asked in confusion: "Sir, why are there still purchase restrictions?"
1 share of interest is only 50 taels, and 10 shares of interest is only 500 taels, which is too little for their Wang family.
Sun Shan pointed at the big-headed dog calmly and said, "My brother's discovery and research of guano have made such a great contribution, but his personal share is only 10 shares."
What I mean is that the county magistrate only wants 10%. Do you dare to surpass him and ask for more?
Old Master Wang:.......
