Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 200 Invite the Emperor to attend the shareholders’ meeting

In early August, Xue Pan searched hard for half a month before finally finding a place that satisfied Jia Qiong, and the location of the main Masonic Hall was confirmed.

The store is located in the middle of Zhuque Street. It consists of eight facades combined into one, and the width of the facade alone is nearly [-] meters.

The yard behind the facade is six acres of land, and it took a lot of money to acquire several ordinary houses.

The reason why such a large place is needed is because if Jia Qiong wants to establish different branches, he must first have a sales office.

He also plans to open a bank headquarters and have a large enough space to build a bank. If the space is too small, it will not be able to be used.

Jia Qiong immediately sent invitation letters to all major shareholders, inviting everyone to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Masonic Association and hold the first general meeting of shareholders.

For the long-term development of Freemasonry, Jia Qiong entered the palace again, preparing to lobby Emperor Longqing to attend the conference as a shareholder.

In the south study room, Emperor Longqing was reviewing the memorial.

Although the disaster was serious, because of Jia Qiong's two ideas, the court had a way to deal with it, so he was in a good mood recently.

When he heard Jia Qiong's invitation, he put down his pen and said, "Dai Quan, please pass on the meal." After that, he walked out directly.

"promise."

When Dai Quan heard this, he knew that Emperor Longqing was going to have dinner with Jia Qiong again, and he felt unhappy.

But he doesn't dare to provoke Jia Qiong now. Everyone knows that this is now the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Longqing, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

Jia Qiong was standing outside the door waiting for the announcement. When he saw Emperor Longqing actually walking out on his own, he hurriedly bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Qiong, is here to see the Emperor. I, the Emperor, bow to Jin'an."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "Haha, Jia Aiqing, you came just in time.

I happen to be a little hungry. Please accompany me to have lunch. "

"The minister obeys the order."

In the side hall, Emperor Longqing and Jia Qiong were chatting about government affairs while eating.

Emperor Longqing said: "Han Dong said in his excerpt that after the disaster, not a single victim begged inside or outside Chang'an City, which shows that the Mutual Aid Department has done a good job these days.

Have you counted how many disaster victims the Mutual Aid Department has taken in now? "

Jia Qiong replied: "I was about to report to the Emperor. The data compiled yesterday showed that more than [-] disaster victims have been accommodated in various construction sites.

These are the people affected by the disaster in the counties and villages near Chang'an. The Guanzhong area was only affected, and the number of victims was not very large.

I predict that in about a month, a large number of disaster victims from Henan will flock to the capital.

I have ordered people to be stationed at various passes, and the victims will be resettled as they arrive. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Well, the errands of the Fongji Department have been very effective. Why did you come to see me today?"

"Back to the Emperor, now that the land outside the city has been basically leveled, the old city reconstruction project can begin.

Chen has already chosen the business address on Zhuque Street and will be preparing to officially open the business in a few days.

On the opening day, Chen planned to hold the first general meeting of the Freemasons at the same time.

Your Majesty, you are the major shareholder of the Freemasonry. I would like to ask you to attend this meeting as a shareholder of the Freemasonry. "

Emperor Longqing was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What is this shareholder meeting for?"

"Back to the Emperor, the first general meeting of shareholders will issue equity certificates, establish a business agreement, and elect the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

Emperor Longqing asked curiously: "Aren't you the president of the Freemasonry? You still need to be elected?"

Jia Qiong explained: "Your Majesty, Freemasonry is a commercial organization established by crowds of people, and is not the private property of any one person.

Therefore, this major matter of the Chamber of Commerce also needs to be discussed and decided by all shareholders.Normally, the operation of the chamber of commerce is decided by the president himself, but it is only reasonable for the president to be jointly recommended by everyone.

Moreover, I believe that the president cannot remain in office forever after being elected.

If shareholders believe that the chairman is incompetent, they can also convene a general meeting of shareholders.

As long as more than half of the share holders agree, the president can be removed and a new president can be elected. This can ensure the healthy development of Freemasonry. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. How was the president selected?"

"It's also a vote. It's jointly elected by shareholders. One share counts as one vote. Whoever gets more votes will be elected."

Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up and he asked: "Then can I also be the president?"

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to be the president, I will definitely support you."

Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, but then denied it himself: "Forget it, I don't have time to be the president.

You still have to worry about the company's affairs. It's best for you to do this, president. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this president is jointly elected by everyone. Even if you don't run for the election, you may not be elected."

Emperor Longqing thought for a while, then understood the key, and said with a smile: "You own half of the shares, who can get more than you.

All said and done, shouldn't you be the president yourself? "

Jia Qiong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that I invested 250 million taels, and you and the ministers jointly invested 2808 million taels.

Therefore, Chen owns less than half of the shares. If anyone can get shareholders holding more than 250 million taels to support him, then he will be the chairman. "

Emperor Longqing suddenly said: "Yes, I almost forgot.

This makes sense, as you always have to leave some thoughts for others.

But don’t worry, my vote for you will be more than half. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "I thank you for your trust. I have other plans in the future. I hope you can support me when the time comes."

After hearing this, Emperor Longqing asked with interest: "You said you have other plans. What are they? Can they make money?"

Jia Qiong said: "My plan will not only make money, but also increase trade circulation and benefit the people of Li.

However, if it is to be implemented, it will be more difficult than this old city reconstruction project, and the funds required will be at least ten times higher. "

Emperor Longqing was shocked: "What, it requires ten times the funds, doesn't it require 5000 million taels of silver!"

Dai Quan, who had been listening with open ears, almost dropped his jaw when he heard this, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Jia Qiong.

Jia Qiong glanced at Dai Quan and said: "5000 million taels may not be enough.

Therefore, I will take a long time to prepare this plan, so I won’t tell you about it for the time being.

I will report back to you when the time is right. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Okay, Jia Aiqing is really talented in managing the world. Then I will be waiting for your good news, as soon as possible."

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Yes, I will definitely speed up preparations.

Your Majesty, can you come to this shareholders' meeting? "

Emperor Long Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely go to support you as the president."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
