Chapter 761: Prosperity
As soon as the fund was established, Zhang Jing became full of confidence.
Speaking of which, the number of funds is extremely large.
In addition to the Jiannu people invested more than 10 million taels, the Zhang family invested more, directly investing 100 million taels of real money and silver.
In addition, there are other merchants of all sizes, which add up to 140 million taels of silver.
Such a large amount of funds must be used to develop Liaodong according to the requirements of the fund.
What I worry most about in this world is not that there is no one, but that there is no money.
With money, there will naturally be countless people who will flock to it.
And this fund is not built by itself.
After all, Zhang Jingyi did not have three heads and six arms, so he could not do so himself, and set up one workshop after another and develop one new project after another.
The funds are too large, so the investment method of this fund is to observe future projects in the market, inject funds and then obtain part of its shares to make a profit.
This is beneficial to everyone. On the one hand, once the project is successful, the income will inevitably increase greatly in the future, and the fund can make a big profit with this.
For many projects and workshops, Liaodong is now in a mess, but the current funds are limited and cannot expand rapidly. Once it is supported by the Zhang Family Fund, it can recruit more people, promote more projects, and quickly become bigger and stronger.
For ordinary people in Liaodong, many industries suddenly received large amounts of funds and urgently needed to grow rapidly, so they would have to recruit a large amount of manpower. The wages would naturally rise and the waters would rise.
It seems that everyone has benefited.
The only inappropriate thing is that the benefits ordinary people only gain are small heads.
Perhaps a hundred years later... many people will develop resentment, and in this era of hunger, even this small profit is enough to share joy.
What Zhang Jingyi had to do was to hire a large number of personnel, including the accounting office and many brokers.
What they need to do is to sort out all walks of life in Liaodong, and to judge which workshop has a better prospect and which industry has a better future.
At this time... the lawyers came on.
In the pass, litigators are almost a cheap job. Any scholar who wants to be a good person is unwilling to be a litigant. Those who assume the duties of litigants, study the law, and provide guarantees are often local local guards, or county guards and civil servants.
Fortunately, in Liaodong... With the improvement of the status of civil servants, this lawyer who has a lot of knowledge with civil servants has gradually begun to develop due to its high salary and hot market demand.
In today's Liaodong, any promulgation of laws or amendment of laws and regulations will almost be compiled into a booklet. After printing by booksellers, they can often sell more than hundreds or thousands of copies.
The reason is that the litigation industry is now beginning to breed, and a group of litigationists who specialize in studying the provisions of laws and regulations have begun to be employed by various workshop owners, or wealthy businessmen, to provide advice for them or study contracts for them.
However, Zhang Jingyi was still happy to see that this was achieved. After all, Liaodong implemented a new policy, and the new policy would inevitably promote various new laws. If these laws were not maintained, they would naturally become empty text.
But who would be full and think about every word of the law every day? After all, the interests of most people are not related. If you really encounter this, you will just cram the moment.
It’s just that there is a group of people who think about your laws every day and put them into practice to make a living. Although it is based on their own interests, in fact, they are the main groups in defending the new policy.
Therefore, Zhang Jingyi met many people of all kinds at the banquet where the fund opened. These guys with big heads and big ears and red faces were praised for their wealth and silk all over their bodies. Perhaps they had an amazing family background in the past, or, at first, they were just penniless guys, but now they have become upstarts in Liaodong.
Zhang Jing had to smile bitterly in his heart. The people in front of him were probably not much better than the gentry before.
But no matter what, Zhang Jingyi still inevitably became their spokesperson. Zhang Jingyi could imagine that if he were Zhao Kuangyin, the one who was most anxious to put on his yellow robe would probably be these upstarts.
Because a fact that cannot be ignored is that Zhang Jingyi is inevitably tied to them.
You know, now they have formed a bondage of interests with the new policy, and have become a situation of prosperity with Liaodong.
At this time, they were all overjoyed, as if they had thought of a good idea of making a profit again, and they expressed the joy hidden in their hearts.
Therefore, he was naturally not stingy with Zhang Jingyi's compliments.
Everyone toasted happily. After half a round of wine, Zhang Jingyi was a little drunk and quietly left the venue.
Huang Taiji obviously always paid attention to Zhang Jingyi's movements and followed him without saying a word.
Outside, Zhang Jingyi was standing in the corridor and looking at the snow flying outside. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked thoughtful, and then whispered: "Your Highness... are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhang Jing turned around and looked at Huang Taiji. He seemed to have never expected Huang Taiji to follow him. He said in surprise: "Ah... nothing, I'm young and have a good body."
Huang Taiji said with some concern: "The sinner has always been worried that the palace has come down to Liaodong and is not used to the climate here."
Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I'll get used to it slowly."
"The sinner feels that His Highness seems to be displeased."
At this moment, Zhang Jingyi stared at him with his hands behind his back and said, "You are also a hero. When are you learning the art of speaking and observing expressions every day?"
Huang Taiji said in fear and fear: "It is the sinner who dies, but... Your Highness is now the parents of the sinners and the servants below. It is also human nature to understand your highness's thoughts."
This made Zhang Jingyi feel unable to refute.
After pausing, Zhang Jing said with a faint look: "I'm just thinking about something. What is the difference between those who have just had a banquet and those Liao generals in Liaodong?"
Huang Taiji was silent, which surprised him a little. He didn't expect that Zhang Jingyi was not thinking about controlling Liaodong, but about the Liao generals at that time.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but say, "Do you think they are unreliable?"
"No, they are too reliable." Zhang Jingyi said without thinking too much, and then said: "They are closely related to me, one prosper and one loss. Without me, the wealth they have accumulated may be gone overnight. I am not blindly confident, but in fact, if anyone dares to shake me, they will definitely not have their lives and will follow me to the death."
Huang Taiji said: "Since that's the case, then Your Highness shouldn't have any worries."
Zhang Jingyi was too lazy to continue discussing with him, so he nodded: "I am not sure that the fund matter is included in me. I dare not say that it can make a big profit, but it will not lose money. Now Liaodong is in a mess. It is the time when these funds are useful. You can take people to fight with peace of mind."
Huang Taiji nodded. He knew that Zhang Jingyi had avoided the topic and that Zhang Jingyi had other ideas in his mind. But even though he was extremely smart and had a very high emotional intelligence, due to his cognition, I am afraid that he would not understand Zhang Jingyi's thoughts at this time.
It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, but the Liao king's thoughts are truly unpredictable.
Huang Taiji smiled bitterly in his heart.
In just a few months, a tense drama of capital injection, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring was staged as scheduled.
Countless funds began to be injected into all walks of life.
It can be said that Zhang Jingyi is definitely the best trader in the world, and there is no other reason. Perhaps people of this era... cannot see the future trends clearly.
But Zhang Jingyi could see clearly.
By grasping the general direction of history, grasping the trend of the times, or creating trends, things actually become much easier.
Zhang Jingyi first invested heavily in a large number of steel workshops, mines, and cotton spinning workshops.
These are extremely basic industries. In later generations, they are the so-called sunset industries, which are the existences that people hate dogs hate.
But in this era, it is the latest industry nowadays.
Of course, capital injection and acquisition are also organized, and what we need to support is workshops with equipment updates and higher production efficiency.
Zhang Jingyi often acquires 30 to 40% of the equity and invests a large amount of money to him, and then no longer cares about other matters.
After getting the funds, the workshop owners became more and began to expand production continuously.
Expansion of production has brought about great prosperity in the construction and machinery industries.
The population of Liaodong is limited, and a large number of people are hired, and labor begins to become more and more valuable. This increase in labor prices has also made the expanding workshop owners try their best to reduce the number of workers.
Therefore... a better machine has become the most concerned thing nowadays.
Many mechanical workshops are now busy.
Most of the mechanical workshops in Liaodong were driven by the construction of ironclad ships.
In order to provide supporting ironclad ships, it can be said that many workshops gritted their teeth and racked their brains, and made countless improvements to meet the requirements of ironclad ships.
But soon people began to realize that these skills and improvements used on ironclad ships can actually be used in other fields.
At first, a workshop improved the steam textile machine. Soon, this new steam textile machine began to sell well and became popular in the market in an instant.
Although it is expensive, in the eyes of textile workshop owners who are under the demand for expansion, this is simply a powerful tool that is ahead of their peers.
So, countless orders came like snowflakes.
