I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 Then tie them into the same boat!
Li Heng suddenly asked: "Do you believe me?"

"I believe it!"

"Then do as I say."

"But this..."

"You do not trust me?"

"I believe it! But..." Dong Hong hesitated, "Okay! Just do what you said!"

"Isn't this right?" Li Heng showed a pair of white teeth, "Don't think too much, you will know why I did this when the time comes, let's go!"

The company's origins date back to the Industrial Revolution. It originated in the Netherlands during the Age of Navigation, and was the famous Dutch East India Company.

The essence of a company is actually division of labor and collaboration, defining people into different roles, and then distributing profits to all parties according to rules.

It is an organization where profit connects all parties.

Unlike the national division of labor and cooperation, if there is no profit, the company will soon collapse.

The pursuit of profit is one of human desires.

Human desire is endless, and it can quickly burst out with huge energy.

In the pursuit of profit, humans can do things they can’t even imagine.

Of course, it's a beast that, if channeled well, can get twice the result with half the effort.

If it is not used well, it will lead to your own destruction.

Not long after, the two arrived at the first papermaking factory in Chengdu.

Xue Liang was waiting for them at the door.

"Lang Jun."

"You're as early as ever!"

At this time, a young man came out. He was wearing official uniform and bowed to Li Heng: "May I ask if you are Li Jian, Minister of Industry?"

"It is this official."

"The lower official is Hu Yong, the engineer examiner. I have been waiting here for a long time with the Ministry of Engineering Li!"

"Have a heart."

"Young Master Tan personally explained it."

The three walked in.

Li Heng was a little surprised that the papermaking factory was actually under the control of the labor examination order.

"Li, please come here from the Ministry of Industry."

After Li Heng entered, he followed Hu Yong and quickly arrived at the papermaking factory.

Many craftsmen in the papermaking factory are busy, and on the other side, there are piles of bamboo.

Li Heng walked over and took a look. Xue Liang on the side sighed: "There are so many young bamboos in Shu!"

"This is only a very small part." Dong Hong said, "I heard that the imperial court has begun to plant a large number of bamboos. It was an order issued by the prime minister himself."

"Yes, the number of bamboos can definitely keep up now." Hu Yong said politely, "The entire papermaking is in good order."

He was polite on the surface, but there was a hint of superiority in his tone.

He knew what Li Heng came here to do this time, and he also learned from Tan Cheng that the papermaking factory was going to be divested.

This made Hu Yong feel very angry.

Papermaking is now a matter that the imperial court attaches great importance to, and Hu Yong wants to use this matter to prove himself and continue to climb up.

Just when he thought he had the papermaking factory in order, he was told that a young man had returned from Guanzhong.

This young man was attracted by the Prime Minister, and then he said in front of His Majesty the Emperor that he wanted to separate the papermaking factory from the labor examination order.

Li Heng turned around and asked Xue Liang, "How is it?"

"no!"

The smile on Hu Yong's face froze immediately.

Li Heng asked: "What's wrong?"

"The process is complicated and the division of labor is unclear. It is completely different from when we were in Guanzhong. No wonder that with such rich raw materials, so many people, and such a big place, we can only make [-] pieces every day."

Hu Yong's face turned livid at this time. He looked at Xue Liang very unkindly and said, "How many do you think we can make?"

"One hundred thousand is no problem!" Hu Yong was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed: "Hahaha, I've heard about it a long time ago, okay, okay, I'll give it to you, one hundred thousand!"

But Li Heng said to Hu Yong: "I also want you to take charge of the papermaking factory and make [-] sheets a day. Is it feasible to follow Xue Liang's arrangement?"

"What is his official position?"

"He is the director of the Ministry of Industry."

"I've never heard of such an official. You want me to listen to this person?" Hu Yong said without any politeness. "You go ahead and do it yourself. I want to see if you can make [-] of them in one day!"

"Are you sure you don't want to continue?"

"Hmph!" Hu Yong turned and left, "Goodbye!"

Dong Hong smiled and said: "Mr. Li, Xue Liang was too direct just now."

"The other party obviously came with the purpose of humiliating me. It doesn't matter. Xue Liang, I leave this to you. How long will it take to increase the production to [-]?"

"The number of people working here is sufficient, and the raw materials are sufficient. Problems with the process will be effective within a month."

"it is good!"

Dong Hong asked doubtfully: "Didn't you just say you were going to build a papermaking trading company? Do you still have shares?"

"It's useless to set up a trading company now. We have to make one ourselves first." Li Heng said, "This is to ensure the basic supply. If you go to Bajun in ten days, the first batch of paper for Bajun Free Trade City will be from Transport it here.”

"Isn't there going to be a papermaking factory in Ba County?"

"That's what happens later." Li Heng said, "When doing business, craftsmanship is very important, but if the profit distribution is unreasonable, it will not be possible."

The biggest function of the joint-stock system is actually to reasonably distribute the interests of all parties.

This is crucial.

Only when the interests of all parties are distributed in a balanced manner can all parties have greater motivation to do things, thereby avoiding internal friction as much as possible.

"It's not just Hu Yong who's waiting to laugh at us now. His attitude represents the people behind him, and Tan Cheng is just one of them." Li Heng turned and walked to the office, "I was recommended by the Prime Minister. I will be able to see you when I return to the capital. What an honor. I don’t know how many people are secretly jealous."

"But I can't avoid it. How can I accomplish anything if I'm timid?"

"I want to gain a foothold in this court first, not to deal with them peacefully, but to show my political achievements!"

Dong Hong was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he discovered that Li Heng had such a tough side.

Li Heng knew very well that it was useless to follow Zhuge Liang without political achievements and only to build relationships.

When it comes to building relationships, can you beat Fei Yi?
Fei Yi is as gentle as water and can have a good relationship with anyone.

When it comes to stabilizing the situation, there is Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan is the kind of person who is not shocked when the sky falls.

Do you still need him, Li Heng, to do this?

So where does Li Heng move into the upper position?
Of course, it is to show excellent political achievements.

It’s not that we don’t engage in relationships or deal with situations, but the focus is different at different times.

Dong Hong asked again: "Who does Mr. Li plan to let own shares in the future?"

"The imperial court must have one, but not only the imperial court, but also the local big families can be considered."

"Like Zhao?"

"Yes."

Dong Hong felt relieved now. He thought Li Heng was going to fight against those wealthy families.

In fact, Li Heng really wanted to confront the local wealthy families and activate the power at the bottom.

But this strategy is unrealistic at the moment.

The people at the bottom are illiterate and are tightly controlled by powerful families.

If the bottom is easily mobilized, it will only cause uncontrollable chaos in Yizhou.

It’s better to start with the local aristocratic families.

The local aristocratic families were unwilling to make the Northern Expedition because their interests were inconsistent.

Then tie the interests together!
Dong Hong added: "Then this shareholding regulation may not convince the public."

Li Heng said: "I know that when something that has never happened before appears, it must be questioned. This is normal."
