A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 77 1928 years

A New Year Comes (1928).

Chen Guangliang still arrived at the headquarters of the Changjiang Motor Dealership early. After all, it was quite boring at home, but it was much more lively here.

The drivers work all year round, but the drivers at the Changjiang Coach Company only work eight hours a day.

At present, eight hours is not a problem, and the income can be guaranteed to be between 12 and 15 oceans (including product promotion, year-round work, low rent, and large license), which is slightly higher than the salary of ordinary workers in Shanghai by 10 oceans, and slightly higher than the average income of 12 oceans in the same industry.

However, this "eight-hour three-shift" system may be difficult to operate in the later stage. After all, if there are too many illegal vehicles on the road, it will be more difficult for everyone to make money.

Investing in shares is the best solution.

A rent reduction is unlikely.

Moreover, reducing income is also the choice of the times and the development trend of the industry, and Chen Guangliang cannot change the overall environment.

"Brother Chen, Happy New Year!"

Li Chao brought his wife and children, carrying things in his hands, to the car dealership.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, happy new year!"

Coming here on New Year's Day, it seems that Li Chao also treats Changjiang Car Dealership as his own business, which makes Chen Guangliang very happy.

Then they made some tea and sat down to talk.

Li Chao took out a paper bag and said, "I'm really embarrassed to give you a share this time. Here's five hundred dollars, which is the 5% share fee (fifty rickshaws with large notice boards). Please don't refuse. After all, you, the drivers, and even the transportation department all paid real money. How can I take 5% for nothing?"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "I thought you considered this place your home. You came here on New Year's Day. It turns out you were rushing to give me money. But this half-share was originally agreed upon!"

Li Chao smiled and replied, "I didn't agree. Take it. I'll start next month and my monthly dividend will be almost 500 yuan. I can't take advantage of the company anymore!"

Li Chao never dreamed of what he would experience last year.

Originally, he was just an employee of the Transportation Department, with a monthly salary of around fifty or sixty oceans, plus some extra income, and that was all; in less than a year, he could receive dividends of 500 oceans every month, and his status in the Transportation Department also rose sharply.

"Okay, I won't be polite then!"

"You should have said no more. You should follow the rules from now on."

Chen Guangliang nodded, then said, "But honestly, Changjiang Car Dealership has reached a bottleneck. This year, I may not put all my energy into developing the dealership and instead enter the real estate industry. So, if you have time, please come and visit more often and give He Xiangdong some advice."

You don't have to work hard to develop, but there will definitely be opportunities for development.

Li Chao was a little surprised and said, "I heard that you recently set up a real estate company. Are you really planning to develop real estate? That's a big investment."

He knew that Chen Guangliang was speculating in land and owned four plots of land on Yuyuan Road, but doing real estate was another matter and the investment was much larger.

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "I'll keep this a secret for now. You'll know later!"

Seeing Chen Guangliang so confident, Li Chao was curious but did not ask any further questions.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about the car dealership.

The next day.

Chen Guangliang successfully obtained a loan of 4000 yuan from the Shanghai Commercial Savings Bank to purchase a rickshaw.

Li Shoumin was already concerned about the development of Changjiang Car Dealership, so he easily agreed to lend the money.

After Chen Guangliang obtained the loan, he actually only needed to pay 3500 yuan, plus Li Chao's 500 yuan and 1100 yuan for "shareholding", which was enough to buy 50 of the best and newest rickshaws.

Although this loan increased Chen Guangliang's debt to over 3 yuan, Chen Guangliang's monthly dividend from the car dealership also increased accordingly to more than 3000 yuan.

According to the current financial situation, there will be no problem in paying off the debt and interest this year (1928), and there will even be a little surplus.

on the other hand.

At Changjiang Real Estate, Chen Guangliang had injected a total of 3000 yuan (this month's dividends and working capital) to launch a 20 yuan investment project. "Accountant Guo, this piece of land here is 15 mu (approximately acres) and will be used for our real estate development. Your responsibility now is to prepare a budget for me. Of course, I've already commissioned a part-time accountant to do the work, but he's an external accountant, and you're the company's internal accountant. We'll each do our own work."

On Guo Deming's first day at work, Chen Guangliang took him to inspect Wang Boyuan's land.

"But boss, we don't have any design drawings yet. I'm afraid the budget won't be accurate."

"That's okay. You should then understand the construction costs and other costs from all aspects. In short, after the other party provides me with a budget plan, you need to verify whether it is accurate."

Construction costs and other costs are very necessary and related to Chen Guangliang's plan!

"I understand, boss."

"Well, today we have an architectural designer applying for the position. His name is Lu Yuantai. He graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of Nanyang Road and Mining School and has four years of work experience. If you can work with him later, you will become more proficient."

"Ok"

An architectural designer and an accountant are enough to get Changjiang Real Estate running.

Chen Guangliang came to No. 203 Yingchunfang, Lane 13, Hubei Road, to meet with Gu Zhuxuan.

The two sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Chen Guangliang naturally crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa.

Gu Zhuxuan smiled amiably and said, "I invited you here because I wanted you to help me figure out what caused our failure this time."

The more this is the case, the more it shows that Gu Zhuxuan cares about this "failure".

"Mr. Gu, are you talking about the Traffic Department incident?"

Gu Zhuxuan nodded.

Chen Guangliang picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said slowly, "Chief Smith of the Transportation Department thinks highly of my partner Li Chao."

Gu Zhuxuan said, "That's unlikely. Foreigners are all about profit. I think you must have increased the share ratio."

Chen Guangliang then said, "The profit ratio is definitely not negotiable, but if Smith and the others want to withdraw, Changjiang Car Dealership will refund them the corresponding fees based on the license plate price you gave them this time. This way, everyone bids the same, but it's better for us to be partners."

Good boy, so cunning!
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Guangliang was still useful to him - the subsequent development of land speculation, Gu Zhuxuan would probably immediately "take 10%" and not give this kid a penny less.

Gu Zhuxuan forced a generous smile and said, "Young people are very smart. It seems that this industry will be yours in the future!"

There is obviously a hidden knife in these words.

Chen Guangliang replied, "Mr. Gu, you're joking. Changjiang Car Dealership has reached a bottleneck. The Transportation Department has basically no licenses this year. As for the licenses on the market, although the market is brisk, we can no longer afford to buy them. The development of this industry has become an opportunity for you big car dealers to become more and more monopolistic. We medium-sized car dealers are lucky to be able to maintain our family business."

These words touched Gu Zhuxuan's heart!

After they raised the price of the "big note" license plate (350 yuan), the license plate prices in the entire Shanghai market have now risen sharply; according to this situation, the license plate still has room for appreciation. By then, foreign-run car dealerships, small and medium-sized car dealerships, and individuals will probably be more willing to sell or rent out the license plates at one time.

Therefore, the rickshaws in the entire Shanghai market will only be more monopolized by large rickshaw companies.

Gu Zhuxuan pretended to be generous and said, "With your ability, Changjiang Car Dealership will not stop developing." Then he said, "What do you think of land investment recently?"

Still very concerned about this.

Chen Guangliang said, "Of course I'm optimistic. The market will definitely surge more than double in three years. Recently, the rickshaw business in Shanghai has been booming, which fully demonstrates that there are more wealthy people in Shanghai. This foreign capital will eventually flow into real estate, even for rental housing."

"Haha, that's true!"

This time, Gu Zhuxuan invested more than 100,000 yuan in land in Zhabei, and bought another piece of land on Fuzhou Road in the concession, preparing to relocate the Tianchan Stage.

The investment in land alone was about 300,000 yuan.

Of course, I asked Chen Guangliang to come just to remind him not to forget to take the 1 yuan commission from me.

If the land price does not rise, the consequences will be
