Chapter 1195: Master Wang Builds a Workshop

After the meeting, people came to buy shares early the next morning.

Several families wanted to buy up all the shares, but Sun Shan only let the Wang family buy up all the shares.

Others made excuses, saying that they only had a few shares left, which meant that they could only buy so many.

Sun Shan said to Master Zhang with a sigh, "Master, did we write down too few shares of interest? If not 1000, we should have written 500. I never thought that the wealthy families in Yuanlu County are so rich."

I thought there wouldn't be too many rich people in the remote and poor area of ​​Yuanlu, but the big ones bought 10% of the shares as soon as they arrived, making it impossible for those who came later to buy.

Sun Shan realized that this was not feasible and could only allow the wealthy families to purchase corresponding shares based on their status in Yuanlu.

For a super big family like the Wang family, a 10% share of the profits is a must.

Other big households can only purchase with five or three shares of interest...depending on their status and position.

The higher the status, the more benefits you get. Conversely, the lower the status, the least benefits you get.

Sun Shan also did not want to create this kind of "Matthew effect" - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

But if Sun Shan does not act according to his status, it will be difficult for him to get a job in Yuanlu in the future.

Although he was the head of a county and had the greatest power, he was actually still controlled by local indigenous tyrants.

The county magistrate is actually a commander without any troops, and the people under him will not always obey his orders.

Especially since Sun Shan had only been here for a short time, he had not had enough time to build up his network.

Sun Shan wanted to recruit people from all over Yuanlu, give out profits, and get more people involved to achieve a balance.

Unfortunately, everything here is based on status. If you are not of high status, you are not qualified to eat at the table.

Sun Shan had no choice but to act according to the underlying rules. If he was too unconventional, things might not get done.

Mr. Zhang could not have imagined that the wealthy families were so rich. One share of interest was 50 taels, and ten shares of interest was 500 taels. How could they easily take out 500 taels of cash from their families?

How many 500 taels of silver would you have at home?

Master Zhang blamed himself and said, "Master, we made a mistake. Usually these wealthy families complain about being poor here and there. When we asked them to donate some money, they all cried and begged for mercy. I didn't expect that they could act so well and fooled us."

If I’m poor, I definitely don’t believe that the rich are poor.

Unexpectedly, they are much richer than I thought.

He gave me 500 taels without blinking an eye.

Sun Shan looked at Merchant A, Merchant B, and Merchant C. These newly wealthy people could only purchase 2 shares, which was 100 taels.

Thinking of their aggrieved faces when they returned, Sun Shan couldn't help but laugh: "Master, there are many rich people in our county. Look, the 60-profit shares were sold out, and before they left they complained that the shares were too little and they couldn't buy anything even if they wanted to."

The guano business has 100 shares, the government farmland has 30, and Big Head Dog Technology has 10 shares, so only 60 shares are left for sale.

The Wang family purchased 10 shares, and the remaining large households were much weaker than the Wang family, so each household could only purchase less than 5 shares.

All the profitable shares were sold out in just one morning. It seems that the big investors are still very confident in the guano business.

Master Zhang said with a smile: "Master, the fact that guano production has increased is obvious. Although everyone says they don't believe it, people can deceive others with their mouths, but how can they deceive themselves? Look, all the profits have been sold in one morning."

His eyes lit up, and he pointed to a large box of silver and said happily, "Master, look, it was sold for a full 3000 taels, which is more than the annual tax revenue of Yuanlu County."

Sun Shan stared at the glittering silver without blinking, and said happily, "I haven't seen so much silver in a long time. Haha, not bad, not bad."

After a pause, he added: "Now that I have money, I can start a guano workshop."

The autumn harvest has passed, and there is still half a year before next year's spring plowing season. Now is the time to "recruit troops" and build "factories".

Sun Shan said to Master Zhang, "Master, we need to put the construction of the workshop on the agenda as soon as possible. We must have enough bird droppings before the spring plowing next year."

Master Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Master, is it feasible to build a workshop and repair the road at the same time?"

Sun Shan nodded: "It's feasible!"

Then he said, "Build a workshop near the Big Bird Village and recruit workers. Try to recruit as many people as possible and build the workshop as soon as possible."

The laborers had to work together to build the road, so they had to build it. So the only way to build a factory was to hire workers by paying money.

The so-called "guano workshop" is a factory that makes guano organic fertilizer.

Speaking of factories, you have to build factory buildings, fermentation tanks, warehouses, etc.

These must be done now, otherwise we will miss the spring plowing season.

Fortunately, the labor and materials here are relatively cheap, so the cost will not be too high.

Especially after the autumn harvest, when people have free time, it becomes more convenient to recruit people.

Sun Shan had never opened a factory and was not familiar with many of the processes. He was also confused about recruiting workers and finding materials.

So Sun Shan called County Magistrate Wang over.

This is a local tyrant, who else should we look for?

County Magistrate Wang asked in bewilderment, "Sir, are you asking me to be in charge of building a guano workshop?"

How could he be responsible for this? Wasn't this something Sun Shan should have done himself?

He didn't say anything to him in the past, but now he is throwing the entire project at him. This is too outrageous.

Sun Shan said confidently: "Mr. Wang, it would be best if you were in charge of this matter. You are a native of Yuanlu and are familiar with everything. I feel very relieved to leave it to you."

After a pause, he added: "Wang County Magistrate, in order to reduce your burden, I will send someone to help you."

Pointing at Sun Dingnan, he said, "Butler Sun has been to Da Niao Village and is most familiar with the mountain behind Da Niao Village. He is also more familiar with how to make guano. You can discuss with Butler Sun directly on how to build a guano workshop."

County Magistrate Wang looked at Sun Dingnan and his face was filled with black lines!

Hum, sending someone to help? Are you sending someone to monitor us?

County Magistrate Wang didn't want to take this job.

Although there was 3000 taels of starting capital to make some money, it was not easy to do it under the surveillance of Sun Shan.

He was afraid that it would be a thankless task and that Sun Shan would easily catch him.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Sir, I have a lot of things to do every day. I am afraid I don't have time to take care of the guano workshop. Sir, you should find someone else."

Sun Shan said helplessly, "Well, there is nothing we can do. The government does have a lot of things to deal with, so it's normal that you can't spare the time. I'm afraid that Wu Zhubo is also like you, busy with government affairs and unable to go to Da Niao Village to build a workshop. Alas, I am also very busy and can't do it myself. I have to hand it over to people outside the government."

County Magistrate Wang asked doubtfully, "Sir, who are you going to let take charge of this matter?"

Sun Shan glanced at County Magistrate Wang and said with a smile, "Who else could it be? It must be Ji Jun's father. He is a local and is used to doing business. He makes the most profit. He also owns a part of the guano workshop. Most importantly, he is your brother, which means he is one of our own. I feel relieved."

Sun Shan never thought of handing the matter over to County Magistrate Wang.

To be honest, County Magistrate Wang is much inferior to Master Wang in business.

After much thought, I decided that it would be most appropriate to entrust the task of building the workshop to the local tyrant, Mr. Wang.

The most important thing is that he has a share of the profits. Apart from the government office, the ones who share the most profits belong to Mr. Wang and Big-Headed Dog.

The workshop was well built and Mr. Wang also benefited from it.
