Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Wanli, in the grand assembly hall of Xingangbao, more than a thousand group representatives gathered to participate in the Jiangnan Group Sealing Conference Oh no, the tenth anniversary conference!

    Amid thunderous applause, the group¡¯s senior executives appeared on the rostrum.

    When Zhao Hao helped the aging chairman Hua Cha sit down on the main seat, the applause became even more enthusiastic.  This applause is dedicated to Hua Cha.

    Chairman Hua is eighty years old this year, and even being a mascot is beyond his capabilities.  The group's board of directors has accepted his resignation, and he will retire honorably by the end of this year.

    As for his position, Zhao Hao took over.  Now that Mr. Zhao is a mature man, there is no need to worry that he is too young to convince the public.  Moreover, it is a well-known secret that he is the leader of the Jiangnan Group, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

    As for the director seat vacated by Hua Cha, it was given to Fatty Tang

    Zhang Han, the official minister who had just retired, was invited to serve as an independent director of the group.  In fact, he was given a generous reward and asked to be the group mascot.

    That¡¯s why Zhang Han didn¡¯t return home immediately after leaving his job. He stayed in the capital just to wait and attend the group meeting with Zhao Hao.

    There is no limit to the number of independent directors. In fact, it is a political and business revolving door specially set up for the Jiangnan Gang bosses to step down.  Otherwise, how could the big guys protect Jiangnan Group as their beloved?

    For example, Pan Sheng, the current Minister of Rites, also held this high-ranking and wealthy position when he was out of office.  He was promoted by the imperial court as the eldest uncle in the previous period, and he had just resigned from his position in the group.  When I take up my official position in the future, I wonder if I will come back

    There is nothing new under the sun.  Bustling and hustle and bustle, to put it bluntly, there is benefit coming and going.  It will not change in another thousand years.

    ??~~

    After playing music, raising the flag, and singing the group's song, Zhao Hao announced the decision and asked the old chairman to give a resignation speech.

    Applause rang out again, and Hua Bozhen took charge of his father and came to the podium equipped with a loudspeaker.  Hua Cha held the podium with both hands and looked at the thousands of group management and outstanding employee representatives in the audience affectionately. After a long time, he said slowly:

    "In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. I can still clearly remember that in the summer of the second year of Longqing, my third son took Mr. Zhao to Wuxi to find me and invited my family to invest in a Jiangnan company that we had never heard of. He also invited me  The old man who had been living in seclusion for many years became the chairman. At that time, I refused in my heart. I had never heard of a chairman. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this young man is my son¡¯s master, I wouldn¡¯t even be a shareholder.¡±

    "It's right to be cautious. Later we found out that Mr. Zhao's Jiangnan Company had not yet disappeared at that time." Wang Mengxiang smiled and interjected: "He tricked us in one by one, and then he established Jiangnan Company!"

    There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and the shareholders of the group's subsidiaries were even more envious, wondering why Mr. Zhao didn't come to us in the first place?  These guys really got a big deal.

    "The reason why I didn't join was because I didn't trust Mr. Zhao. At that time, he had already established Xishan Company and successfully issued shares. Even a blind person could see that he was the God of Wealth descending to earth." After the laughter subsided, Hua Cha continued:

    "It's just because I'm afraid of being punished by the strict Party. Being called 'the richest man in Wuxi' makes me tremble with fear and I can't sleep at night. I often say to my sons, 'The benefits of the world belong to everyone. It's not appropriate to monopolize them. Share some with others, but  It's harmful to the whole body. It's too late to disperse the money, and I don't have much interest in making more money."

    Listening to the old chairman¡¯s Versailles, everyone couldn¡¯t help laughing again.

    "It was Mr. Zhao who convinced me. He said that the cause he wanted to do was to 'benefit from the world to the people of the world', to make the people of the world have enough food and clothing, and to make everyone who follows us live a prosperous life. In the end,  Realize the prosperity of Ming Dynasty and teach Ming Dynasty to be great again!"

    As soon as the old chairman mentioned Zhao Hao, the venue immediately fell silent, and no one dared to cough.

    "Although I didn't understand much at the time, I was shocked. Although I didn't quite believe what he said, I finally became interested - I knew he was definitely not just trying to make money, but wanted to do something different."  Hua Cha continued:

    "I was seventy years old at the time. It was a time when I had read thousands of sails and life was boring. In order to see something new, I finally agreed to become a shareholder. At the time, I never expected that this novelty would last ten years, and the more I read, the more fresh it becomes.  The more I watched, the more excited I became, and I became more and more convinced that the young master could really turn his boast into reality."

    When the old chairman said this, he became a little excited and said: "In the past ten years, I have watched you, under the leadership of the young master, work together as one, overcome obstacles, expand territories, and achieve unprecedented achievements. I really brought the spirit of Jiangnan with you."  The people have become rich! I am so proud every day!"

    "Old man"I really can't bear to leave" Hua Cha took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, his voice became choked and said: "I often think that it would be great if the young master found me earlier, so that my more than 20 years of idleness would not be lost."  Can you devote yourself to our career?  It's a pity that I was not born before you were born, but you are already old after you were born.  The group has only just started ten years ago. When we are about to enter the glorious era, I have already aged to the point where I can no longer continue. I can only withdraw from the stage and watch you in the audience enjoy the glory that belongs to you and create a chapter that belongs to you.  !  "

    Hua Cha raised his right fist high and shouted with all his strength:

    "Gentlemen, the wheel of the times is unstoppable. Young Master will surely lead you to make earth-shaking changes and create a better new Ming Dynasty! In the upcoming soul-stirring epic, each of you is the protagonist. Do not let down this era, for the Ming Dynasty  The new students will work hard!¡±

    Zhao Hao took the lead in standing up, and everyone stood up and applauded, extending endless applause to the old chairman.

    ??~~

    Subsequently, Zhao Hao made a "Report on the Completion of the Second Five-Year Plan" to the conference for the first time as the chairman of the group.

    The goal of the Second Five-Year Plan is to strive for the upper reaches based on the First Five-Year Plan and strive to put the group's economy into the fast lane of rapid development.

    After five years of unremitting efforts by the group, the Second Five-Year Plan has also exceeded the target!

    First of all, in terms of the overall situation, the group's GDP has maintained a rapid growth of more than 30% per year, reaching 200 million taels of silver in the past five years of Wanli.  Accounting for one-fifth of the entire Ming Dynasty's GDP

    This is mainly because the group¡¯s GDP is also included in the Ming Dynasty¡¯s GDP.  If not included, the proportion would be as high as a quarter!

    Specifically in terms of agriculture, during the Second Five-Year Plan period, the group opened two million acres of new rice fields, one million acres of cotton fields, two million acres of sugarcane fields, and two million acres of tobacco fields, which is double the plan!

    Eighty percent of these newly cultivated lands come from Taiwan and Luzon, and the bulk of them come from Taiwan, which has been cultivated for more than seven years.  It can be seen that if the group's cultivated land area wants to maintain rapid growth, it can only continue to expand overseas!

    ??????????????????? All overseas reclamation areas have uniformly adopted farm management, and have achieved self-sufficiency in food rations with a slight surplus, which has greatly reduced the economic burden of the group¡¯s large-scale immigrants.

    In addition, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian have completed the promotion of double-cropping rice, and Taiwan, southern Guangdong, and Luzon have begun to promote the planting of three-cropping rice.  Although the taste of triple-cropping rice is slightly worse than that of double-cropping rice, in this era, apart from dignitaries, only the people in the Jiangnan area who got rich first would be picky about the taste of rice.

    Ninety percent of the people can¡¯t even afford pure brown rice, so they have to cook it with mixed grains and wild vegetables.  It¡¯s not even close to being picky about the taste.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??

    If it had been a different time, the price of rice would have dropped to nowhere.

    However, in order to prevent low prices from hurting farmers, Jiangnan Group has been open to purchasing rice at protective prices.  Over the past few years, the group's warehouses in Jiangnan have piled up tons of rice.

    Mr. Zhao had to build oversized granaries in Tamluo, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Luzon, Sanya and other places where the coast guard was stationed to accommodate the purchased grain.  It¡¯s a huge expense every year.

    Of course it¡¯s not all good news.  For example, the local cultivation of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes has encountered adaptability problems.  The yields of various experimental fields are significantly degraded every year.

    But there is no way around it.  We can only carry out breeding and breeding year after year, hoping that these South American visitors can adapt to the Ming Dynasty's environment as soon as possible

    ??~~

    In terms of business, during the Second Five-Year Plan period, the group still firmly held the monopoly of Ming Dynasty maritime trade and basically established its dominance in the Nanyang Sea.

    Now, from Malacca to Luzon, everything is under the control of the coast guard fleet.  Although pirates in Southeast Asia are like weeds, burning one crop after another, nothing can become a climate and cannot threaten the group's shipping.  On the contrary, it effectively prevented the emergence of smugglers, allowing the group to enjoy an exclusive monopoly on trade.

    During the Second Five-Year Plan period, the freight revenue of Royal Shipping and Nanhai Shipping has surged year after year, and they have already achieved profitability.  In the five years of Wanli, Royal Shipping alone contributed more than 10 million taels of profit to the group.  Nanhai Shipping also has about two million taels.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????Today, the Jiangnan Group camp has 4,000 sand ships with one thousand materials and 3,000 sea ships with two thousand materials, of which 2,000 were built during the Second Five-Year Plan.

    In fact, compared with the first five-year period, the construction tonnage of cargo ships has dropped a lot.  However, the scale of the Southeast Shipbuilding Industry has doubled. The number of shipwrights and related upstream and downstream employees in the three major shipyards has exceeded 100,000!

    This is because most of the skilled craftsmen have been sucked away by Jiangnan Shipyard and the newly built Yongxia Shipyard in Luzon.  And these two major shipyards are used to build ships!

    During the Second Five-Year Plan period, Jiangnan Factory built a total of eight battleships, 16 cruisers, 32 destroyers, and 64 frigates.

    All battleships and 80% of the cruisers were assigned to the strategic fleet monitoring the Portuguese and Spanish in Luzon.  Destroyers and frigates are used to refit the Marine Police Stations of each garrison area.

    "When Yongxia Shipyard can reach such a production capacity, with the support of the two shipyards, the coast guard fleet will be able to punch Portugal and kick Spain, dominate Asia, and go global!"
