Li Chao didn't know which day he would be tolerated by Li Shimin.
In other words, he didn't know how many generations the Bashang Li family could prosper and be tolerated by the imperial court for several generations.
It is said that there are three holes of cunning rabbits.
Li Chao is very satisfied with his current life, but people have no long-term worries, and they must have near-term worries.
I have to plan for the future, and I can't put all my eggs in one basket.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, these Zhenguan famous ministers, some people were able to die well, and some people did not, but even if they died well, most of their families were not saved, and their children and grandchildren were involved in rebellion and were beheaded and exiled, I don't know how many.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, was exiled in his later years and died in his hometown.
Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui's son was involved in rebellion, and Li Ji's grandson was plotting against Wu Zetian, Li Jing was cautious, but the family soon fell.
Although children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, when they reach Li Chao's position, they can't help but want to do more.
The establishment of this Sihai trading company can be regarded as a step back.
At present, it is doing trade, and secretly it can also be used as the layout of the Li family overseas, buying real estate, and arranging some children and grandchildren to go overseas in the future, presiding over the industry there, and even spreading branches.
If one day, if the wind in the Central Plains is not right, Li Chao can also sail into the sea and go to the South Seas, the sea and the sky are wide, Li Shimin can't chase him to the South Seas.
Or this world is stable, but in the future, when the descendants are in the future, if there is a bad descendant who is also stupidly involved in something to seize the heir and rebel or something, the Li family will not be uprooted.
Thinking a little too much, but Li Chao felt that he was right.
"If Wei Gong is willing to join a share, I am very welcome.
If Wei Gong is willing to take shares, I will give Wei Gong the majority of the decision-making shares.
At present, there are only more than 100 positions left in the decision-making stocks, and most of them account for 70 percent of the decision-making votes of the decision-making stocks.
I have only 13 shareholders who hold the majority of decision-making shares. ” Li Chao explained to Li Jing the shareholding structure of the company, giving the imperial court 20% of the company's shares and reserving 30% for other businessmen.
The two percent of the shares of the imperial court do not need to be paid into the shares, but only some land will be allocated to the company to build ports and warehouses.
The businessmen need to contribute money to the shares.
The company raised a total of 1 million yuan, which is equivalent to 100 yuan per share.
However, the fifty percent of the shares of the imperial court and ordinary businessmen only enjoy dividends and do not have the right to participate in decision-making.
The right to vote is the remaining fifty percent of the shares, which are only given to the nobles and nobles.
A total of more than 100 nobles are recruited to join the shares, but there are also differences, the vast majority of the nobles into the shares, the shares in hand are single voting rights, and one share is one vote.
And Li Chao left himself and the other twelve shareholders multiple decision-making powers, and one share is equivalent to several votes.
As a result, although the thirteen major shareholders have few people, the few stocks in their hands have more decision-making votes than most of the stocks in the hands of the more than 100 nobles, and the thirteen have complete control over the decision-making power of the company.
This kind of setting seems a little unreasonable, but this is free cooperation, you can join if you want to come, and you don't want to force it.
Now there are a lot of people who want to buy shares, a large number of nobles and nobles, and even local powerful landlords and businessmen want to buy shares, but there are so many places, and ordinary people can't get in if they want to, so although the conditions seem to be a little unfair, but it's still the same sentence, if you want to join, you can join the shares, don't come if it's unfair.
"How much do you need to invest?"
Hongfu heard that it was a board seat, and asked a little temptedly.
The bearded guest over there smiled, "To enter the thirteen decision-making boards, only 10,000 yuan is enough." ” I heard that as long as 10,000, the red whisk felt that it was really not much.
However, I also admire Li Chao, these twists and turns, recruiting 1 million share capital, but the thirteen directors only spent 130,000, but they can rely on this majority of voting rights to control the decision-making of the entire company, which is really amazing.
"Okay, our Sanyuan Li family will also give 10,000 yuan and enter one share."
"Welcome to join, Sanyuan Li family, I will be one of the thirteen board members of our Sihai Trading Company in the future, congratulations."
Thirteen board seats, one prince, one Li Chao, one Zhang Zhongjian, Li Xiuning, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, and now with Li Jing, there are just thirteen.
Even Cui Zhengwang wanted to be a director, but Li Chao didn't agree.
These five wealthy families are too strong, Li Chao is a little worried about taking them to play, and in the end, they are connected in the board of directors, which affects Li Chao's decision-making power.
Li Chao's thirteen boards of directors, in fact, each person has a different number of shares, so the number of shares in his hands is also different.
Li Chao has the most stocks in his hands, especially his stocks are actually higher than the voting rights of the other twelve stocks, one of the twelve shareholders is several shares in the hands of other nobles, and Li Chao's hand is a super share, and one can be several shares in the hands of the other twelve.
Moreover, Li Chao's board of directors does not engage in a one-person-one-vote system, but also votes with the proportion of shares.
This shameless approach is that in the board of directors, Li Chao's votes also account for more than 30%, and he is completely dominant.
As long as a few more are pulled, he can guarantee that he has more than half of the votes and completely controls the company.
"Is our company doing trade, transporting silk, porcelain, and tea from the Central Plains to Nanban and even Taixi?"
asked Hongfu.
"This is my current plan, after we have raised a million, we will immediately send people to the South Seas to buy grain while building ships."

Li Chao does not hide his plan, under his layers of equity protection policy, although he does not contribute much, but let the small number of shares in his hand have great voting decision-making power.
Therefore, this company is actually controlled by Li Chao.
He said that the company will do what it does.
Li Chao planned to build ships and buy grain, and when the southeast trade winds rose in May and June next year, he would be able to carry grain full of grain at that time, and he would be able to carry grain from the South Seas to the north by the wind, and the ships would be transported directly to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then he would change river ships to transport grain into the Huai River, Han River, and Yellow River, and send grain to the disaster areas.
"Now it's the northeast trade winds, setting sail from the southeast coast, just in time to ride the trade winds down to the South Seas.
I plan to collect a group of craftsmen and send them to Nanyang to build ships, and when the ships are finished next year, I will directly transport grain and take the southeast trade winds in May and June to the north. ” "Why don't you build a ship directly on the coast of the Central Plains?"
asked Li Jing.
"The trade winds are two seasons a year, and if you miss the wind, you have to wait for months.
Sailing is quite difficult when there are no trade winds, and you have to ride the wind to break the waves.
We are building in Zhongyuan, and the construction period is more than half a year.
The ship is well built, but it is the southeast monsoon, which is suitable for going up from the north to the south, but not to the south.
If we wait until the northeast monsoon arrives next winter, it will not help the relief of the disaster, so we have to borrow the wind, so we have to send the craftsmen to the South Seas now, and besides, there are many trees suitable for shipbuilding, and it is convenient for us to build a shipyard there to use local materials, and it is convenient to build a lumber mill and sawmill.
When the ship is ready, the grain is also ready, and the wind is together, the grain will be transported north, and it will set sail in May and June, and when it arrives in the Central Plains, it will still be able to catch up with the disaster relief. ” Li Chao explained to Li Jing the importance of the nautical monsoon.
"How many ships can be built, how much grain can be carried" "I can't transport much, but I can relieve the pressure of famine a little."
Li Chao said flatly that it is unrealistic to want to temporarily build a shipbuilding to transport grain from Nanyang to the disaster area of the Central Plains to solve the famine immediately.
Even if a boat transports 1,000 stones, 10,000 ships are only 10 million stones.
The affected area of the Central Plains is so large that even if a person only eats three or four stones of grain a year, the need is as high as tens of millions of stones.
In all dynasties, the grain was transported to the capital through Cao Yun, and it took several months a year, but it was generally only a few million stone grains, and the grain was still transported in the inland rivers of the Central Plains.
It is much more difficult to transport grain from thousands of miles away from the South Seas to the north.
The grain ship can only run once, and it is impossible to have too many ships, so in fact, even if there is grain in the South Seas, it will not be able to transport too much.
However, in line with the idea that one point can be solved, Li Chao still decided to build a ship and buy grain.
The ship was built in the South Seas, the grain was transported, and then the silk, tea, and porcelain were prepared here, and when the winter trade winds rose in a few months, they could take the goods south.
"But if you can transport craftsmen to Nanyang, the court may not be willing."
Li Jing said.
The imperial court has always had strict control over the population, and even more so over artisans.
Although there is a Vietnamese state in Nanyang, it is not the Central Plains after all.
How could the imperial court agree to transport people to such a distant place, and besides, how many craftsmen were really willing to leave their homeland and go overseas This is a fact, but Li Chao feels that it can explain Li Shimin.
Now in a special period, send some craftsmen to the south to build ships, and send them back next year when the ship is built.
What's more, sending the craftsmen to Nanyang Shipbuilding can also save some rations, saving a little is a little. went to build a ship, but it was to transport grain, Li Shimin couldn't understand whether it was good or bad As for the craftsmen's refusal to go, this is not a problem, the court has an order, it doesn't matter if you want to go or not.
What's more, as long as you give a little sweetness, for example, the people who go can bring their families to go, they can have a full meal in Nanyang, or their families can stay, and the imperial court will give them more rations so that they can also eat enough, isn't this attractive enough "Is it a good ship built in half a year?"
Li Jing asked again.
"We built a new ship in Xiangyang, and it went very smoothly, half a year is enough.
The key is still the problem of timber, but the shipbuilding industry itself in Nanyang is also quite prosperous, there are a lot of ready-made timber reserves, as long as you spend a little more money, this problem can be solved, now there are new ship construction drawings, as long as there are enough craftsmen, and then recruit some workers in the local area, I believe that before the arrival of the trade winds, more ships can be built. ” Li Jing listened and nodded, "This is a good thing, I support" If it is just to make money, then Li Jing will not object, but he will not take it very seriously.
The Li family of Sanyuan has stewards who are specifically responsible for running the industry, and even if the Li family has a share, it is good to leave the matter to them.
But now the first thing Li Chao did when he built the company was not to think about doing trade immediately, but to think about building ships and buying grain, and waiting for the trade winds to transport grain for disaster relief, which made Li Jing admire this thought.
"What is needed from the Mihara Li family, just ask."
Li Chao laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not polite, the Sanyuan Li family has a lot of connections, I need your help to find more craftsmen."
Shipbuilding, ironsmithing, carpentering, canvas weaving and rope, in short, there are many craftsmen needed, you can get as many as you want, the more the better." t1706231537:
