Chapter 805 (1/2)
Gu Jiu didn't cheat everyone.
Foreign businessmen, indeed, came to Beijing in a group and gave her an invitation.
Among them, the rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are the most generous.
They directly promised to buy 5 million Liang Si Hai bonds on the condition that they would fight for them and build two cement roads to the south. Construction will start next spring at the latest.
The first is to build roads and the second is to talk about cooperation.
Gu Jiuqu finger, gently tap the table.
She said bluntly: ”there are more mountains and water in the south. The cost of building bridges and paving roads is much higher than that in the vast area in the north.”
”We can raise money.” Jiangnan rich businessmen are very straightforward, ”just follow the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, build toll stations and rest stations. We hope that the rest station can also take a small share. The cement road is still built and managed by the four seas. We only pay, we don't get involved in specific matters. ”
The cement road in the north is coveted by the rich businessmen in Jiangnan. However, they have self-knowledge, and they certainly can not do well in the northern region.
Simply retreat and seek the second, build a new road, and look for opportunities for yourself.
There should also be a cement road for the rich in the south of the Yangtze River.
One is not enough. At least two.
This will greatly reduce transportation costs, as well as transportation time. Strengthen the connection between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River.
The rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River can take this opportunity to dump more goods to the north.
In terms of business, Jiangnan people are better.
There are also many mountains and rivers in Southwest China, so it is not easy to build roads.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made official road, just lay cement on the original site.
It would be better if we could widen the road properly, build more bridges, and circle less mountains.
Rich businessmen have money, can't they afford to build roads themselves?
Why do you have to ask Gu Jiu?
This is about geographical constraints.
Rich businessmen can pay their own money to build bridges and pave roads in their hometown.
But only at home.
What do you mean when you, a Huzhou man, go to Chuzhou to build a road, but you have to connect the official roads of the two places? Do you want to attract people?
Want to raise money to build a cement road from Beijing to Jiangnan?
Say it! What is the purpose?
Is it possible to rebel?
Without the guidance of the government and the permission of the imperial court, it is impossible to build roads on one's own.
The most convenient way for Jiangnan businessmen to build roads is to ask Gu Jiu to come forward.
As long as Gu Jiu promised to build the road, all the problems would be solved easily.
The four seas shop is building roads, but getting your Majesty's permission is tantamount to getting the imperial license plate.
It's better than spending money on relationships.
Instead of spending money on ten or twenty people to help. It's not necessarily going to help.
It's better to concentrate financial and material resources. Please come forward.
She could do what the other twenty court officials could do alone.
Gu Jiu looked at the merchants with a smile, ”road construction is not a matter of a day and night, and your majesty may not agree.”
”Your Majesty may object to the presence of others. But my wife came forward and believed that the road construction could be smoothly carried forward. ”
The rich businessmen were full of tongue and tongues, and put a high hat on Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu laughs but doesn't speak. When everyone finishes speaking and there is no movement in the hall, she says again: ”to tell you the truth, my wife doesn't do much good to help you repair the road.”
”I'd like to sell 200000 pieces of cotton.”
”I can help promote the popularization of honeycomb coal in the south, and Sihai can extract profits in proportion.”
”I'd like to be a water wheel distributor.”
”I would like to...”
Everyone scrambled to express their willingness to conduct business cooperation with Sihai. And the conditions are good.
Gu Jiu knocked on the table, ”I have seen your sincerity. Thank you for your trust in Sihai to my wife. Sihai bond... ”
”We buy. Buy as much as you can. ”
”You are so sincere that my wife is not such an ignorant person. As for the road construction, please go back and wait for the news. By the end of the year, there will be results. ”
This
There is still some time before the end of the year.
If there is any variable in this
Gu Jiu seemed to smile rather than smile, ”if you don't trust my wife, you should not have met today. Please come back
”My wife misunderstood me. We have no intention of that.”
”Yes, we don't mean it.”
Gu Jiu smiles but does not speak.
The rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River exchanged a look at each other, and they all had a tacit understanding.
The decision was made immediately and four seas bonds were bought.
