I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"My lord, I've used all my cash for business, and I don't have any money."

Tang Hong was angry.

"Yeah, whoever still has spare money now will use it for business, and who will keep a large amount of working capital on hand, that's not a waste of capital."

The crowd joined in.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Anyway, you have land, and you use the land as a mortgage. Don't you think that if you don't pay a penny, you can wait for me to repair the bridge and enjoy the increase in land prices."

Ouyang Shiqi opened the skylight and said something bright, but everyone was silent, but they wanted to know, anyway, if he didn't have the money, he would see what Ouyang Shiqi could do with him.

Even the imperial court did not directly grab the land, but only forced the landlords to sell the land by increasing taxes. As long as they are willing to pay taxes, the imperial court cannot force them to buy them.

"Let me put it this way, for those who have a lot of land in Hongkou and are unwilling to pay, I will forcibly buy it at the current price, or expropriate the land in your hands.

As long as I plan to build a road in the middle of your land, your land is public land, and I have the right to expropriate it. Whether to pool money to build the bridge now, or hand over the land, you can think for yourself. "

Ouyang Shiqi is tough to cheat.

The land that has affected the construction of Dahua Road can be forcibly requisitioned by the imperial court.

But the problem is, they don't have to build a road in their land.

But if Ouyang Shiqi insisted on doing this, no one could fault it, and at that time, both sides would suffer.

Everyone did not doubt Ouyang Shiqi's words. They all knew that Ouyang Shiqi had the support of the emperor behind him, so he acted without fear.

In the past few years in Shanghai, he has been impeached more times than other officials in his entire life, but in the end, there was no bullshit, and he kept getting promoted.

Other officials did not dare to be too savage, but the champion in front of him did.

Therefore, when dealing with Ouyang Shiqi, it is better to compromise rather than confrontation.

"However, it costs so much to build a bridge. Even if the price of the land in our hands rises, it won't rise that much."

Tang Hong complained.

"Yes, yes, if we really want us to come out with everything, I'd rather sell the land."

The crowd followed suit.

"Of course you won't be asked to pay all, and repairing the bridge is not necessarily a loss-making business. I will also set up a company to collect tolls at the bridge end after the bridge is built.

The money received is used to pay off the bank debt. Think about it, with Shanghai's current population growth rate, how terrifying the flow of people on this bridge will be in the future, and you need to worry about losing money? "

Ouyang Shiqi said.

This idea is also quite bold. Only during times of war will the imperial court set up cards at important intersections and collect lijin tolls to increase fiscal revenue.

Now in peacetime, Ouyang Shiqi actually does the same, and he will definitely be included in another book.

However, if Ouyang Shiqi can really withstand the pressure from above and collect tolls for this bridge, it would be a really good business.

After all, after a bridge is repaired, it will last at least a few decades.

Continue to collect, the final profit must be very good.

"Is this allowed by the court?"

someone asked.

"Don't worry, there's definitely no problem. After all, this is a special situation. Just change it to a nice name, such as bridge service fee."

Ouyang Shiqi assured.

With the benefits, these businessmen immediately became enthusiastic about giving money.

It is also of great benefit to these people to build this bridge without losing money.

Seeing that other people suddenly became active again, Tang Hong was quite speechless.

This scene is all too familiar.

Every time Ouyang Shiqi raises money, it is almost always this smooth, businessmen will be dissatisfied and reluctant at the beginning, and then slowly be fooled by Ouyang Shiqi to actively participate.

However, Tang Hong knew that in cooperation with Ouyang Shiqi, he would definitely not lose money, but if he wanted to make a lot of money, it would definitely be useless.

Ouyang Shiqi will do the math, and let the businessmen participating in the project make a little money, and the government will make most of the money.

Just like the stagecoach project in the city, now the Jiang family is so depressed that they want to vomit blood.

Although he can make money, he earns very little, and his return is far from the horizon.

If the money was invested in other projects, it would definitely make more money than in the stagecoach.

However, it is impossible for the Jiang family, who has already entered the pit, to give up this project, and it is impossible to find someone to take over, so they can only continue to endure.

Although there is little money to be made, the victory lies in stability, and the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods.

It's a good business for the unambitious.

In a word, this is the characteristic of Ouyang Shiqi, no matter how nice his mouth is, he is actually fooling people.

After entering the pit, it will make the other party feel that they have eaten a chicken rib, it is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Anyway, Tang Hong decided that it doesn't matter if he donated a sum of money, but he wouldn't invest in any company that Ouyang Shiqi had created.

Now there are so many opportunities to make a fortune in Shanghai, any industry you invest your money in will definitely make more money than investing in bridge companies.

However, not everyone can see clearly like Tang Hong.

Some people are a little stupid, or some people have not been trapped by Ouyang Shiqi enough times.

Or, some people like stability, and Ouyang Shiqi's projects are generally

Very stable.

Therefore, even if Tang Hong did not invest, Ouyang Shiqi still managed to collect enough funds.

Those who own land in Hongkou pledged to donate according to the amount of land and collected about 300,000 yuan in total.

Then, he pulled another 1.2 million investment into shares, making a total of 1.5 million, and has already started construction.

As for the case that 1.5 million is not enough in the future, we will talk about it later.

Building a 100-meter bridge is no less difficult than building a railway from Nanjing to Shanghai. The time required is definitely calculated in years. If it can be repaired within a year or two, it will be considered a success.

In the past two years, even if there is a gap, Ouyang Shiqi can use some of the local funds to make up.

Shanghai is going to build a 100-meter-long cross-river bridge, and the news immediately appeared in many newspapers.

Dahua Daily, Commercial Daily, Anecdote, Songjiang Current Affairs and so on.

When the people saw the news, they all gasped.

How spectacular is the 100-meter-long bridge across the river.

This is not a pontoon bridge floating on the water, but a bridge under which a large ship can pass.

"It's magnificent, I am Dahua. Now it is possible to build a 100-meter bridge across the river. In the future, it will not be a problem. At that time, the south bank and the north bank of Nanjing can be connected by bridges."

Some people in Nanjing said with emotion.

At present, there are more and more shocking projects in Dahua, tens of meters of high-rise buildings, thousands of miles of railways, and now cross-river bridges.

These things, they have never thought about it before.
