Chapter 898
Grain is definitely a strategic commodity. Those who dare to smuggle grain will be punished.
It's good that Zhang Yu didn't arrest anyone.
However, some unlucky people didn't actually make much money, because if they were caught, their grain and grass would be confiscated and huge fines would be imposed.
Guo Jia fined them not for how much they earned, but for estimating their income for a year.
At this time, Cao Cao was very short of food and grass. He bought a lot from Sun Ce, but some of them were burned by Zhao Yun.
The large gap forced Cao Cao to buy food and grass everywhere.
The merchants in Jiangdong are sensitive to find business opportunities, and the sales of grain and grass transported to Cao Cao can double or triple, so many people take risks.
Zhang Yu issued a decree before that all kinds of strategic materials cannot be sold outside during wartime.
And this food is undoubtedly a strategic material.
Seeing that Zhang Yu agreed, Guo Jia said again: "My lord, according to the information of my subordinates, there is a huge shortage of Cao Cao's grain and grass. We smuggled a lot of it. He will definitely receive the news soon and know the source of the grain and grass."
Cao Cao is not a fool. It is strange that he did not investigate the source of so much smuggled food and grass.
After this investigation, he could know that Zhang Yu sold the grain and grass.
"It doesn't matter, our Jiangdong's grain and grass are only sold to him through smuggling channels. If someone from them finds it, they will ignore it."
Zhang Yu just wanted to cheat Cao Cao. I have food, but only through smuggling channels.
The smuggling price is naturally different from the normal trade price.
Zhang Yu made his money through this method, and after this calculation, Zhang Yu could really make a lot of money.
At this time, Zhang Yu left it to Guo Jia to make arrangements.
Although Zhang Yu has been fighting for years, the land in Jiangdong is very stable, the people can live in peace, and there is a lot of food after several years of hoarding.
Jiangdong is a land of fish and rice, and there is never a shortage of food.
After finding another source of income, Zhang Yu's pressure suddenly eased a lot.
In the next two days, Zhang Yu finally worked out a more detailed financing plan.
After a few days of delay, Zhang Yu hosted a banquet in the palace for more than 100 businessmen.
All of them are rich masters, and 80.00% of them are upstarts who rose after Zhang Yu became the master of Jiangdong.
In the age of great voyages, they came out on top and made a lot of money.
This kind of reasonable income, Zhang Yu will naturally protect it.
Jiangdong's prosperity still depends on them.
Many people came this time, and they were all full of anticipation.
The banquet was very joyful, and everyone was very comfortable. During the banquet, I took the opportunity to meet more people and expand more contacts.
They are businessmen and can enjoy a very good life, but Zhang Yu will not give them much power, and will not let them extend their tentacles into the government, but they have not belittled their status, businessmen still have a high status in Jiangdong .
No one dares to bully, no one dares to blackmail.
That's all for the banquet, let's get to the point, Zhang Yu met them in the hall.
Everyone didn't dare to drink too much alcohol, and many people even didn't drink alcohol, just to keep their heads clear. What happened tonight might be very important to them.
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows the purpose of coming here. I will explain it again here."
"For the first option, we can do some anticipation and compensation in case of accidents."
"Second"
"The third type"
Zhang Yu explained the three ways of participation in detail, and everyone began to think about it.
The second is undoubtedly the most conservative and the least risky.
Lending money to Zhang Yu and giving 7% interest a year is considered a very good income.
After Zhang Yu finished explaining, he asked everyone to think.
A few people formed a small group and started to discuss.
"Old Chen, what do you want to vote for?"
"I think the second option is better. I can't take care of a bunch of businesses in Jiangdong, so I have some spare money."
A businessman at the side looked at them both contemptuously and said, "You guys are stupid, is this Qingzhou model new?"
Everyone was confused for a while, but it was Lao Zheng who spoke, and he had a certain prestige among them, so another person said, "Xin, so what?"
"This new model is right. If we can make money this time, we will definitely be able to make money next time. Let's go in first, find out the rules, and understand what makes money. We will definitely make the most money next time." Then Lao Zheng began Said.
Everyone was confused for a while, and the conservative old Chen said: "Where is the next time?"
Old Zheng said contemptuously again: "Hmph, next time, not only next time, but also next time, how many states and cities in the entire Huaxia."
"Sigh~"
Everyone suddenly understood and gasped.
This Zhang Yu has newly conquered a state, so he gathers a group of them to start a big construction, if Zhang Yu lays down more territory in the future.
Then they are afraid that there will be no chance. If they cooperate with Zhang Yu for the first time, Zhang Yu will definitely not forget them in the future.
At the same time, they go in first, even if they don't make money for the first time, when they learn more about things, there are plenty of opportunities to make money.
Everyone's hearts became hot, thinking that even if they lost money this time, they would follow Zhang Yu.
In the future, they will go to the whole of China.
Under Lao Zheng's reminder, several people felt that they had to follow Zhang Yu.
"I don't have much money. I plan to participate in the construction of the city this time. I will invest 200 million yuan. Then we will see what benefits the construction of the city can bring. However, the prince also said that he will announce the income plan after we invest in the construction of the city." Old Zheng said.
"In addition, I will return a sum of money next month, and then I will cooperate with the third method. I will take care of Jiangdong's business in my family, and I will go to Qingzhou to inspect it myself."
After some analysis by Lao Zheng, several people felt that there was a future in following Zhang Yu.
Now Zhang Yu's strength has been revealed, and now he is sitting in the land of three states, and as a businessman or family in Jiangdong, they know more about the overseas situation.
Even if everything in the country is lost, and there is still a huge overseas, Zhang Yu is already invincible, why not follow him with all his heart.
Lao Zheng and the others made a decision, and many other small groups also made decisions.
Of course, the decisions are different, some conservative, some radical, but they are all more optimistic.
Some choose the second way, the 7% interest may not be as much as they earn themselves, but they feel that they must show their face in front of Zhang Yu, even if Zhang Yu borrows money from them, they will still borrow it.
More than 100 people did not choose not to invest, of course they chose not to invest, and they probably would not dare to come tonight.
The discussion went very well this time. After more than half an hour of discussion, Zhang Zhao asked them to stop and distributed paper and ink at the same time.
This is of course for them to fill in the projects and amount of their investment.
For the third project, there is no need to fill in the investment project and amount, just record it, but they should contact Zhang Zhao as soon as possible to discuss the investment direction and so on.
Zhang Zhao will provide preferential projects, which are generally construction projects that help stabilize Qingzhou. They will find other profitable projects by themselves.
