Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1230, the embryonic form of a capitalist country

"Set up a court in Ceylon, which is responsible for adjudicating those who violate the laws formulated by the shareholders' meeting. The court's judgment is completely independent and cannot be influenced by the governor. Only in this way can judicial justice and fairness be guaranteed, and at the same time, further separation Powers of the Governor."

Liu Jin's speech was a bit dry, and he said some of the most important and fundamental things about the capitalist countries of later generations.

It can be regarded as following this incident, and for the first time put forward the system concept of capitalism, the core of which is democracy, separation of powers, and mutual checks and balances, while explicitly abandoning the monarchy.

Everyone listened carefully, thinking carefully while listening, nodding their heads from time to time.

"This system is very good. The ownership of the Western United Commercial Bank is in the hands of the shareholders' meeting. The shareholders' meeting is the highest authority. It can make laws, appoint and dismiss the governor and ministers, and the shareholders' meeting can be discussed by everyone. It can fully guarantee the interests of everyone.”

"In addition, the idea of ​​decentralization is also very good. The power of the governor is indeed too great. He has not only the military power, but also the power to appoint personnel and the power of the economy. It is no wonder that Hu Xian is fascinated by power and wants to monopolize the Western world. The United Commercial Bank is now the emperor of the land."

Li Chunyang was also praised by everyone after listening.

At this moment, he is completely unaware that this is a political system that is completely different from the supremacy of the monarchy in China for thousands of years. After all, the Western United Firm is now in everyone's impression and concept, and it is a money-making institution. A firm, not a country.

But in fact, the Western Union Company is no different from a country.

It has its own territory, army, managers at various levels, and the power to tax people on its own territory. In fact, it is no different from other vassal states, except that it is under the jurisdiction of a commercial firm, so everyone still thinks it Not a country, but a firm.

"Well, it is indeed a good way."

"Decentralization of powers and control of powers, the general meeting of shareholders is the overlord over the governor. It can decide the appointment and dismissal of the governor at any time. At the same time, many important powers are delegated to the ministers, and the existence of the court is increased. It can indeed effectively prevent The Governor made it big."

Zhang Mao followed suit and nodded.

This system is good, everyone can rest easy on Daming's side in the future, and don't have to worry about things like today.

All you need is to send a family member to serve as a member of the shareholders' meeting, to participate in the formulation of the internal laws of the Western United Commercial Bank, to vote on the appointment and dismissal of important people, and then just sit and wait for the money.

Like Li Chunyang, he didn't realize that such a system is actually a country's system and can be applied to a country.

The governor is equivalent to the emperor of a country, but the emperor's power is strictly restricted and restricted, and there is also a term limit, so he cannot last forever.

"I think this system is very good~"

"I also support the adoption of this system in the future~"

The others looked at each other and nodded in support.

"Since everyone thinks this system sounds good, now I propose that those of us present here form the first general meeting of shareholders of the Western United Commercial Bank, and officially begin to take the highest responsibility and have the highest authority over all affairs of the Western United Commercial Bank. .”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Jin immediately suggested.

This system is very popular in later generations. Almost all democratic countries have adopted a similar system. The ideas of democracy, decentralization and mutual checks and balances are very suitable for the Western United Commercial Bank. There is no reason for everyone not to adopt it.

After all, the Western United Commercial Bank is no longer a pure commercial firm. It has such a large scale, a very large number of employees, and it also governs a very large area and entrance.

It is obviously not possible to use the traditional commercial bank system to manage, and there will definitely be endless problems, so a more advanced and reasonable system is urgently needed for management.

Obviously, this popular system in later generations is very suitable, and everyone has no reason not to support it.

These people at the scene, although several important shareholders were not present in person, such as the Zhang brothers, Zhu Benduan, and Feng et al., but each of them had important people invited to the meeting. The Zhang brothers were not there, but they The son is here, so it is completely possible to form a general meeting of shareholders.

"I support~"

"I have no opinion~"

"I have no opinion either~"

When the other people heard it, their eyes lit up slightly, and they expressed that they had no opinion.

"Since everyone has no opinion, the first thing we need to elect is the chairman of the shareholders' meeting. As an important member of the shareholders' meeting, I think that the chairman needs to be a highly respected person. I propose that the British company Zhang Mao be appointed."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Liu Jin also made a suggestion to everyone.

"No, no~"

"My old Zhang has mediocre qualifications and is extremely stupid. I absolutely can't be the president. I think it's better to have Lao Zhu to be the chairman. Li Chunyang can also be."

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"I can't do it either. I'm not in good health. I can still vote. As the president, I can stutter."

When Zhu Fu heard this, he shook his head quickly. He was old and in poor health, and he brought his son here this time.

"I can't do it either. I'm just a businessman. How can I understand this?"

"In my opinion, it is most suitable for the British government to serve as the president, everyone agrees?"

Li Chunyang waved his hands and shook his head again and again.

"Yes, yes, British public morals are highly respected, and it is most appropriate to serve as the chairman."

"I fully support a British public as president."

"support!"

Others followed suit and nodded.

"Mr. Zhang, look, it's hard to disagree with everyone's wishes."

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay~"

"Let me be the president."

Zhang Mao saw that everyone recommended him, and at the same time felt that the chairman was quite new, and it was related to the huge interests of the Western Union Company, so he agreed after thinking about it.

"Next, we enter the second agenda of the meeting, drafting the basic charter of the Western United Commercial Bank, clarifying the power of the shareholders' meeting, and specifying the governor's power, appointment, removal, election and other specific details."

After the election of the chairman, Liu Jin proposed to start drafting the basic charter.

The basic charter is a very important thing. It is equivalent to the framework of the Western United Commercial Bank in the future, and it is also the most important thing in a country. It determines the core of the democratic system and the capital system.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone suddenly regained their spirits.

Soon someone brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and everyone began to discuss the system in the basic charter one by one. Those systems are good, everyone supports them, and they are constantly improving them.

Those systems are not working, so of course they have to be changed, and there are some things that Liu Jin didn't think of, and everyone will add them.

It took nearly two hours just to draft the basic charter, so that everyone was hungry and had to have a meal here.

Fortunately, this Wangyue Tower is an industry under Li Chunyang's command, so it's okay to eat whatever you want. Boss Li treats guests.

"...The governor is elected once every five years, nominated by the members of the general meeting of shareholders, and can be elected with the support of more than half of the members of the general meeting of shareholders, and serves a maximum of two terms."

"Everyone take a look at this basic charter. If there is no problem, all of us will sign on it, and this charter will officially have legal effect. From now on, it will be the most important thing of our Western United Commercial Bank. All affairs must be carried out in accordance with this charter system.”

Liu Jin carefully read out the seventy-two articles written on the basic charter system from beginning to end. After reading, he looked at everyone and said very seriously.

"No comments~"

"Full support~"

"support!"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

This is a system formulated by everyone participating in the drafting and voting. It is also in everyone's interest and fully guarantees the interests of every shareholder.

Everyone has no reason not to support or agree.

"Mr. Zhang, you are the president, please go first~"

Liu Jin walked aside, smiled and motioned for Zhang Mao to come and sign first.

"Haha, then I'll come first?"

Zhang Mao laughed happily, picked up the pen and wrote down his name readily, and then pressed the red seal.

Others also wrote down their names one by one, pressed their fingerprints, and soon a basic charter with the signatures and fingerprints of all shareholders was signed.

"Everyone, this is a great historical moment!"

"We are here today to usher in a new era, a democratic way to defend our common interests together, a whole new system, and history will write this moment!"

Liu Jin held the basic charter signed by everyone in his hand, and he also expressed his feelings.

Once such a system comes out, Liu Jin can see that in the future, all large and small commercial firms in Daming will definitely follow suit.

In the past, doing business was basically done by one family with the same surname. The scale was limited and the management was not complicated. Everyone invests and works together to do business in partnership.

There are many large commercial firms similar to Western United Commercial Bank, such as South African United Commercial Bank, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, Nanyang United Commercial Bank and so on.

In the continuous development of these commercial banks, everyone has already seen many problems, and there is an urgent need for a new system and method to manage these commercial firms.

Now that the Western United Commercial Bank is taking the lead, Liu Jin estimates that other commercial firms will soon learn and follow suit, and these overseas commercial colonies will soon become the same existence as the Western United Commercial Bank.

And this is just the beginning. With the emergence of democracy and the electoral system, the ideological trends it brings will inevitably sweep the entire world.
