??In the British Duke's Mansion, in Zhang Mao's study, many industries under the British Duke's name would come to Zhang Mao at the end of each month to report on the performance of the previous month, so that the old Duke knew how much money he had earned.
"Have all your wages been paid to everyone this month?"
Zhang Mao looked at the dozen managers in front of him and asked while taking a sip of tea.
"When I return to my country, my father-in-law has already paid out the full amount."
Many managers nodded in reply.
"That's good. We must do everything in accordance with the rules and regulations of the imperial court. If the imperial court has decrees, we must abide by them. The workers' wages must also be paid in full every month. Don't let things like this ruin our reputation. ."
Zhang Mao nodded with satisfaction. The dozen or so managers in front of him were actually members of the old Zhang family, but they were all descendants of the collateral lineage. They were responsible for helping the British government manage many industries.
Like in the past, the British prince had a large number of fields, minerals, real estate, shops, etc. It was naturally inconvenient for Lao Zhang to take care of these things himself, so he left them to his own clan's children. , of course, some trusted servants can also get the opportunity to help manage some properties.
In recent years, with the rise of capitalism, colonialism and overseas trade, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin jointly purchased many industries, including cement factories, textile factories, steel, shipbuilding, trading firms, colonial firms, overseas colonies, Plantations, pastures, tea estates, wineries, etc.
The industry is very large and involves many industries and fields. Many of them are partners with Liu Jin. He does not need to manage them. He can just attend the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year.
However, Lao Zhang also independently invested in many industries, such as Zhang's Textile Factory, Zhang's Shipbuilding Factory, Zhang's Steel Factory, Zhang's Cement Factory, Zhang's Plantation, Zhang's Sugar Factory, etc., etc. Many of the properties were purchased by Zhang Mao himself.
?? This part of the industry was managed by Lao Zhang himself, who sent his own children and trusted servants. In addition, in overseas colonies, Lao Zhang also sent a large number of his children to participate in the management and operation of the colonies.
"These collateral descendants are all descended from their ancestors. Some of them are the descendants of Lao Zhang's own brothers, and they are absolutely trustworthy.
This time 75z worg.com Zhang Si. This era is completely different from that of later generations. The influence of the clan is very powerful. It penetrates into all aspects and levels, and it is difficult for anyone to escape the influence of the clan.
"Similarly, whether it is the Duke of England, the Duke of Chengguo, or the Duke of Dingguo, or many trading houses, large factories, etc. all over the country, similar phenomena are very common.
A large number of family children are involved in the family's industry. This family's industry does not only belong to individuals, but also to the entire family.
For example, these huge industries under the command of the British Duke belong to Zhang Mao, right? It does belong to Zhang Mao, but at the same time, it also belongs to the entire British Duke family, and Zhang Mao is just the helmsman of this generation.
Situations like this were very common in the Ming Dynasty. The big merchant families in the Jiangnan region, such as the famous Huizhou merchants and salt merchants, actually had an entire family of children doing this.
There are officials who open official channels for the family, and there are also family members who practice martial arts and travel all over the country to protect the family business. In the end, they make money, which will nourish the entire family.
They spent money to build private schools and academies so that the children of the family could study and take the imperial examinations, and annexed a large amount of land to their own families so that they could feed more people, etc.
This is a very characteristic point of this era. Clan power is huge. Everyone must live in the clan as much as possible, so that they can obtain more resources. It is also inevitable to be bound by the clan.
¡°After all, this is an era where people from three, five, and nine tribes are involved. Once they are involved, it is often a huge family with hundreds or even thousands of people.
"We all know~"
Many managers also said quickly.
¡°I lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one month, tell me how much money you made this month~¡±
Zhang Mao couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of pain when he thought about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that had been distributed this month.
They say that they must abide by the laws and regulations of the court, but it is still very painful to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a month. If they leave it until the Chinese New Year, it will end up being several million taels of silver this year and put it in the bank. Interest is a huge amount.
What¡¯s more, Lao Zhang is also in great need of money now.
Although the industry is huge and the money is earned, Lao Zhang has always likedLearn from Liu Jin and invest everywhere.
Recently, we have been investing heavily in rubber plantations in Nanyang. These rubber saplings are very expensive, and we can spend millions of taels of silver on them, but we still can¡¯t even see a trace of them.
In order to obtain rubber to make tires and produce bicycles, Zhang Maoke spent a lot of money to build several large plantations in Nanyang to grow rubber. He shamelessly obtained a batch of relatively cheap saplings from Liu Jin, but It also costs a lot.
In addition, after hearing Liu Jin say that the Persian Gulf is a good place, Zhang Mao once again raised a large amount of funds and manpower to establish the Persian Gulf Colonial Trading Company, dragging along Cheng Guogong, Ding Guogong, Ao Guogong and Liu Jin. A large number of nobles invested and prepared to seize territory in the Persian Gulf.
强牺 bxwxco.com 读牺。 The investment of Colonial Trading Company is very huge, not to mention that Zhang Mao is not If you plan to do something small, you will naturally want to do it more grandly, purchasing dozens of large ships, establishing a colonial army, and related follow-up development, etc.
After spending large amounts of money, the plan has only been initially finalized, and a large amount of money will be invested in the follow-up.
So despite the fact that Lao Zhang has many industries and is still a profitable business, Lao Zhang is also short of money.
Zhida org.com Zhixiao. Now the workers have to be paid monthly, and the funds on hand are also very scarce.

¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because we are now paid on a monthly basis, but our textile factory¡¯s business this month is much better than in previous years.¡±
"In the past, because this was just the end of the New Year, business was the worst, with less than 600,000 taels of silver a month, but this month, we made 950,000 taels of silver, which is the most The main ones are orders from our country, especially the sales from garment factories are very good."
Zhang Hui, who was in charge of managing the textile factory, stood up and reported to Zhang Maohui.
"There are sales of 950,000 taels of silver this month?"
When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately became happy. In the first few months after the New Year, sales in all aspects were actually not ideal, especially those related to daily life. Textile factories had the greatest impact, because before the New Year Everyone has already bought clothes. After the New Year, they are making money in factories, and consumption has been greatly reduced.
But I didn¡¯t expect that sales would increase significantly this month.
"Yes, it has increased by more than 50%, and our garment factories are not big. The most powerful Caiyun Textile Factory, I heard that their sales this month increased by more than 100%. The sales of garments alone in one month exceeded Six million taels of silver is several times ours."
Zhang Hui continued.
"What's so great about Caiyun Textile Factory? You should learn from it. They can sell six million taels of silver a month, why can't we?"
When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately felt sour. In terms of the textile industry, Caiyun Textile Factory is definitely the leader and the leader. It is not only the largest, has the largest sales, the largest profits, and even the profit margin. Much higher than the average factory.
"Second Grandpa, we have been studying Caiyun Textile Factory and learning from them. It's just that Caiyun Textile Factory has mastered several important color printing and dyeing, which we cannot make. In addition, they always (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
