MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 114
"I have." Shen Fengming said.
Of course he has. The Shen family has stood for hundreds of years. Although they are heirs of poetry and books, they have accumulated a lot of money.
"Bring me, I'll tell my mother to let her take the money." Yang Sheng hurriedly said. He felt that following Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu would definitely make money.
In fact, the Yang family is just looking at the scenery. In fact, the family is not rich.
Military generals spend more money than literati. Literati buy books and pay more for repairs. A good horse costs thousands of taels for a military general, and a few hundred taels for a good weapon, not to mention the usual food. There are more people than literati, so there is a folk saying "Poor literature and rich martial arts", which means that only those who have money can learn martial arts.
General Yang was very sympathetic to his subordinates, and Shen Fengming was worried that those who retired from Qilinwei were actually better than those who retired from the army.
At least the Qilin Guards have fewer people, and the monthly silver is high. Even if they retire, they can still receive a generous amount of money.
But those people in the army, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they only get one tael of silver every month. If they are injured or leave the army, they can get ten taels of silver at most.
What's the use of ten taels of silver? If the injury is serious, it is barely enough to heal the injury, so what about their future life?
Therefore, General Yang often subsidizes his subordinates, and the Yang family is naturally getting poorer and poorer. Now, it is only relying on some stores under Mrs. Yang's name to maintain the status of General Zhen Guo's mansion.
"In these years, Xirong and Beidi haven't violated the border on a large scale, but they keep making small moves. There are wars at the border, and many soldiers have retreated. Fengming, Miss Jiang, how many people do we need this time? If there is a shortage of manpower, can we hire them? Are they here to do something?" It was rare for Yang Sheng to show such a sad side.
Jiang Yunzhu had no problem, since anyone was hired anyway, she believed that the soldiers brought out by General Yang must be good.
"Yes." Shen Fengming also said.
"Great, what are you waiting for, get the fleet up quickly. I'll tell my dad then, he will be happy." Yang Sheng said.
Once the funding problem is solved, the fleet will basically be in place, and the rest is what business they want to do and where to do business.
Now the most profitable maritime trade is selling silk, tea, and porcelain. By the way, there is another thing, colored glaze, they can also sell these.
As for where to go, the known places now include Java, Indonesia, and the western mainland. The routes in some places have been found out and are relatively safe, but most of the routes are still unknown or full of danger.
These dangers include pirates, storms, local forces, and more.
"Pirates? Pirates are good. I heard that they are very rich. Isn't our Qilin Guard just for catching thieves? If they don't come, then we have to stay.
And we are a fleet, not belonging to the imperial court, the seized property... hehe! "Yang Sheng suddenly realized that it would be nice to have his own fleet instead of setting up a new mission. Maybe he could make a fortune just by exterminating those pirates.
Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu looked at each other, thinking it made sense. The Qilin Guard led the team, and the soldiers under General Yang served as the crew. Their fleet is the highest combat power of the Xia Dynasty. Who can stop it?
Then the second aspect is determined, they will go to those unexplored routes, high risk, high return.
In this regard, Jiang Yunzhu still has an advantage. She is not very good at geography, but she still knows the distribution of several continents in the world. As long as she follows the direction she pointed out, finding a new land is not a problem at all.
At that time, they can sell porcelain and silk there, and get back real money!
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yunzhu was also a little excited, wishing to go on adventures with the fleet and make money.
And to set this policy, in fact, the first aspect, what to sell, is not a problem.
Then there is the budget, how much money to invest, and how to distribute dividends.
Yang Sheng reckoned that his mother would be able to spend 20,000 taels at most, and he would have to sell a lot of things at home.
For the first batch of fleet, Shen Fengming planned to get 30 big ships, the ships were fully armed, plus the purchase of supplies, it was estimated to cost 500,000 taels.
Yang Sheng's 20,000 taels is a bit small compared to this money.
The money that Jiang Yunzhu could come up with was even less, and she could only come up with three thousand taels.
She is poor and feels like she can get out of the business.
In the end, the three of them discussed and decided that Shen Fengming would hold 60% of the shares, and the Qilin Guards would hold 12%. The 12% would be distributed mainly to the Qilin Guards who lead the team, as well as the Qilin Guards who will retire later. placement.
Yang Sheng accounted for 6%, and 10% was given to the crew of the fleet, and part of it was reserved for the retired soldiers in the army.
The remaining 12% is for Jiang Yunzhu, the plan she proposed this time, and she may have to do many things in the future.
"No, it's too much for me." Jiang Yunzhu waved her hands again and again, 12 percent, that's a huge profit, she didn't dare to think.
"What's more, it's not much at all." Yang Sheng said with a smile.
Shen Fengming also nodded.
Jiang Yunzhu still made too many decisions, Qi Linwei and those crew members ventured out to sea, and that's all they got.
She also ran errands in the early stage, it is not good to take too much.
In the end, she gave Qilin Wei and the crew each 1% of the shares. Qilin Wei got 13%, the crew got 11%, and she got 10%.
In fact, she still wanted to share more, but Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming disagreed, so they decided.
"I wish our fleet will overcome all difficulties and make a lot of money." Yang Sheng picked up his wine glass and laughed.
Jiang Yunzhu also picked up the wine glass.
Shen Fengming originally didn't want to talk to Yang Sheng, but seeing Jiang Yunzhu pick up the wine glass, he picked it up too.
The three of them drank the wine in their glasses and were all in a good mood.
"Should we give our fleet a name? At that time, as long as we mention our name at sea, they will be intimidated." Yang Sheng said excitedly.
The Qilin Guard was also intimidating in the Xia Dynasty, but there were the emperor and the ministers who were sloppy and crooked. It was not happy enough. Going overseas, meeting gods and killing gods, meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas, is exciting enough!
Thinking about it this way, Yang Sheng wanted to quit Qilin Guard and go to sea.
"Name?" Jiang Yunzhu felt the need.
What's a good name?
"Qilin?" After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he even hated it. He actually didn't like the name Qilinwei. Suddenly, he saw the two people on the opposite side, with a sly look in his eyes, he smiled and said, "It's better to call Mingyun Trading Company."
A firm is the same as a company, but it is called a firm in this era.
Mingyun is naturally Shen Fengming's "ming" and Jiang Yunzhu's "cloud".
Jiang Yunzhu glared at Yang Sheng, saying it was business!
"It's better to call it Yunming Trading Company." Shen Fengming said suddenly. His voice was cold and he didn't mean to be joking at all.
He put Jiang Yunzhu's "cloud" in front.
Yang Sheng stroked his palms, "This name is good, so let's call it this name."
Jiang Yunzhu: ...No, are you serious?
Yunming Firm, the name was settled under such circumstances, and Jiang Yunzhu always felt like it was a joke.
When he went back that night, Yang Sheng almost broke his mouth, and told Mrs. Yang how their firm would make money in the future.
Mrs. Yang disagreed at first. There is only so much money in the family, and I invested it all. If I can't come back, the family will drink northwest wind in the future!
Later, Yang Sheng had no choice but to ask Mrs. Yang to promise to keep it secret, so he told her the specific situation of the firm.
Now Mrs. Yang is in good spirits, Shen Fengming voted 500,000? Jiang Yunzhu in management? The Qilin Guard leads the team, and the retired people from the army are the crew? To develop new lands and destroy pirates... Pirates are rich.
No matter how you look at it, it is a very profitable business.
"Why did you just invest 20,000!" Mrs. Yang blamed Yang Sheng in turn. The family had no money, but she could still go out and borrow it.
Yang Sheng was speechless, that's not what you said just now. Besides, he was just a hitchhiker in this business, Jiang Yunzhu came up with the idea, Shen Fengming took the money, and they will run it in the future. He took so many shares for nothing, and they are already taking care of him.
What's more, I gave my father so many shares to the retired soldiers of the army. In the future, my father will not have to worry about the livelihood of those soldiers. Didn't it solve the big trouble at home?
As a human being, you can't be too greedy.
Mrs. Yang thinks about it too.
Suddenly, she thought again, no, how did Yang Sheng, Shen Fengming, and Jiang Yunzhu get together? They acted as if it didn't matter before.
"Say it quickly." Mrs. Yang patted the table.
"What should I say about other people's affairs." Yang Sheng retorted.
Then, he also realized that he had slipped his tongue.
Mrs. Yang was very shocked. Yang Sheng liked saving girls, she thought he was with Jiang Yunzhu, but who would have thought that it was Shen Fengming and Jiang Yunzhu?
Does Shen Fengming like girls?
The two of them...
"Mother, my mother, don't go out and talk nonsense or get meddled, I have worked so hard to bring them together." Yang Sheng recalled the days when he let Shen Fengming recuperate and he carried the Qilin Guard by himself. I feel bitter.
Madam Yang looked at him meaningfully.
"Mother, don't you really think I'm with Fengming?" Yang Sheng frowned.
It was all rumored by others, he likes girls, and so does Shen Fengming, they have nothing to do with each other.
Mrs. Yang waited for a long time before accepting the news. She has a sense of proportion and won't talk nonsense. It's just that she also likes Jiang Yunzhu very much, but it seems a bit difficult for her to marry into the Shen family.
It wasn't Jiang Yunzhu who wanted to marry, it was Shen Fengming who wanted to marry, and Yang Sheng wanted to correct him, but in the end he just said, "Mother, don't worry about it, hurry up and make money.
By the way, I'll write to Dad later about the crew, do you have anything to tell Dad? "
"Tell him that the son has finally grown up and knows that he has taken care of the family. Just say I said it." Mrs. Yang said.
This is clearly praising Yang Sheng, and Yang Sheng smiled happily.
"Also, what, the iron trees are blooming, and I haven't hugged my grandson yet, let him say, what should I do!" Madam Yang said again. Shen Fengming already has a girl he likes, she doesn't want to, when Princess Danyang hugs her grandson, she hasn't hugged her yet.
The smile on Yang Sheng's face froze, no, can you forget the last sentence?
In the end, Yang Sheng's letter didn't mention the following things, but only told General Yang about the fleet, and asked him to select a group of wounded or retired soldiers to make money.
