Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??Wusong River, on a luxurious ship.

    Mr. Zhao is still dressed like a straw hat boy, but the two kings only think that he is unconventional and has the demeanor of a celebrity, and does not think it is offensive at all.

    There is no other way. People with money blessings will have their own beauty function.

    What¡¯s more, although Zhao Hao was dressed in lower-class clothes, his demeanor and tone were still as cheerful as before.

    "I'm really grateful that you two can agree with my willfulness." He was talking about what Zhao Shouzheng had just announced to the people of the county that remuneration would be paid for the second phase of the project.

    "Young Master, what are you talking about? We have already made so much, so it is only natural that we give some to the people." Wang Shimao is the Langya Wang family after all, and his speech is still very good.

    I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s from my heart or out of context.

    ¡°After all, compared to the little money spent, it¡¯s not worth it to make Mr. Zhao unhappy.

    "Yes, sir." Wang Mengxiang also smiled generously: "The company wants to take root in Kunshan, so that the people can get some benefits, and we will get more benefits!"

    "Uncle, you are very insightful!" Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up and praised.  Ask Xu Weizhi, who is on duty today, to bring the map.

    Then Zhao Hao drew a triangle with three points: Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Jiangyin, and explained to the two of them: "Look, you two, this triangle in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River includes the six prefectures of Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou.  . These six prefectures combined contributed one-third of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, making it the richest place in the world."

    "Yeah." The two of them listened to Mr. Zhao talking about the macro strategy. They leaned forward and listened carefully, fearing that they would miss a few words and miss the opportunity to improve.

    "These six prefectures are also Jiangnan in a narrow sense. Not only are they the richest, they are also highly interconnected and integrated with each other. I call them the 'Yangtze River Delta' - the golden triangle area of ??the lower reaches of the Yangtze River!"

    "Yangtze River Delta?" The two kings widened their eyes. This was indeed a fresh perspective that they had never thought of.

    "Whoever controls the Yangtze River Delta controls the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's economy." Zhao Hao said lightly: "This is also our company's long-term goal."

    "Hiss" The two kings gasped, Wang Mengxiang slapped his thigh, widened his eyes and said: "Young Master named the company 'Jiangnan Company', so that's what it means."

    "What a great ambition!" Wang Shimao suddenly felt that this was much more interesting than being an official.

    Seeing the restless looks of the two people, Zhao Haoxin said, I haven¡¯t said yet that ¡®the economic base determines the superstructure¡¯

    Of course, he will never say it out loud for at least ten years.

    ??~~

    In the big ship, Zhao Hao revealed Jiangnan Company¡¯s ambitions to the two directors for the first time.

    Speaking of which, the way he established Jiangnan Company was very different from that of Xishan Company.

    When establishing Xishan Company, Zhao Hao first proposed the concept of "company" and meticulously formulated the "Articles of Association".  It also raises shares publicly, convenes a shareholders' meeting, elects the board of directors and supervisory board, and appoints management.

    For the daily operation of the company, it is also required to strictly follow the articles of association and hold regular board meetings to discuss major matters of the company.  The Board of Supervisors supervises the Board of Directors and management at all times to prevent malfeasance and corruption.

    It can be said that he ran Xishan Company completely in accordance with the perfect company system of later generations.

    When I arrived at Jiangnan Company, it was said that the system should be more perfect and the decision-making should be more transparent.

    "However, on the contrary, Mr. Zhao has reversed course this time, completely throwing the modern corporate system behind him, completely ignoring the opinions of small shareholders, and blatantly making a fuss, which is no different from the traditional business houses at this time.

    The reason is very simple - Zhao Hao knows that he will not be based in Beijing permanently, so he wants Xishan Company to be institutionalized and formalized as soon as possible, and to embark on the road of self-development and self-discipline of a public company.  Only in this way can the interests of his major shareholder far away in Jiangnan be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

    "And Zhao Hao has set Jiangnan as his future base camp and plans to work hard here personally. Naturally, he must ensure that his power will not be boycotted for a long time, so that he can work hard.

    For this reason, he has no plan to publicly issue Jiangnan Company shares.  The shareholders brought in are also close natural allies. Their role is to act as a protective umbrella for the company in its early stages to avoid being coveted by others.

    But Zhao Hao never wants them to interfere with his absolute right to speak. For this reason, he even engages in mysticism to promote shareholders' personal worship of him

    To put it bluntly, he wanted Xishan Company to have many different voices, so he adopted the ¡®Xishan Model¡¯.  I hope Jiangnan Company has only one voice, so it switches to the ¡®Gangnam Model¡¯, and that¡¯s it.

      People always only choose the way that is beneficial to themselves, not the most advanced way.

    This is very reasonable.

    ??~~

    ¡°As the saying goes, ¡®make decisions before moving, know and stop before you gain¡¯, if we want to conquer this area, we must first study it carefully and understand it clearly, and then designate a feasible plan and implement it step by step.¡±

    I heard Zhao Hao say to the two kings in a deep voice: "This region has characteristics different from those of the whole country. Traditional agriculture has taken a back seat in the Yangtze River Delta. People are growing less and less rice in their fields, and they are replaced by more and more mulberry trees and  Cotton. This is because the silk weaving and cotton spinning industries in the Yangtze River Delta are booming, allowing people to earn higher returns from growing cash crops."

    "At the same time, serious mergers in Jiangnan have caused more than 90% of the people to lose their land. These farmers who have left the land continue to pour into the city and become practitioners of industry and commerce, promoting further prosperity of the industry. When industry and commerce develop to a certain level  At that time, division of labor appeared. In fact, the entire Yangtze River Delta region has completed a primary division of labor, which is why I regard it as a whole."

    "Yes." Wang Mengxiang said with deep understanding: "It's true, sir, the silk weaving industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the cotton spinning industry in Songjiang, the silk reeling industry in Jiaxing and Huzhou provide raw silk for the silk weaving industry, and Changzhou provides food.  Distribution center.¡±

    "Therefore, the Jiangnan region needs a commercial center to provide a platform for trade for all prefectures and counties." Zhao Hao said, pointing to the center of the triangle:

    "And Suzhou is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, so it has become the center of Jiangnan and has become the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty!"

    "As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "But precisely because of this, Suzhou City is not suitable as the base camp of Jiangnan Company."

    "Why is this?" Wang Shimao was a little confused. If he wanted to control a place, shouldn't he control the most prosperous city?  "

    "Because Suzhou City is too prosperous, there are too many constraints, and the space left for us is too small." Zhao Hao said with a faint smile: "So I chose to avoid Suzhou City and buy Kunshan County at the bottom!"

    "Copying Kunshan at the bottom?" Wang Mengxiang sipped his tongue carefully, his eyes gradually brightened and said: "What a 'buying the bottom', how wonderful! Master Dongzhu Gao has a good idea, our Jiangnan Company has taken advantage of the right time, place and people, is there any reason not to be prosperous?  "

    ps. Sorry everyone, I took a rest today and started working in the afternoon.  I've only written two chapters so far, and I'm starting to cry againnot because I'm moved.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
