Chapter 1156 Soldiers are strong and horses are strong
Xin Jinshan City.
Located on the south bank of Xinjinshan Bay, on the delta of Xiaojinsha River, Xinjinshan is very hot in summer. The new gold diggers from the Central Plains and the old customers from San Francisco have gathered tens of thousands of people in just a few months.
The so-called Xinjinshan City is like a huge construction site, or like a refugee camp.
Ah Huang stood on the wooden plank in front of the city hall, watching the lively and noisy scene, and also felt a little headache. It is said to be a city, but there are tents, thatched huts, and wooden houses everywhere.
People, horses and livestock ran around, mixed with chickens flying and dogs jumping, chickens and ducks screaming.
Ah Huang was appointed by Qin Lang as the mayor of Xinjinshan City. The small wooden house behind him is the city hall and the city center of Xinjinshan.
According to Ah Huang's understanding, calling the mayor instead of the city lord should be to keep a low profile and avoid taboos. After all, now that Qin Lang has discussed with the Qin family stewards, it will be called the Treasure Island Mine to the outside world, and it will communicate with the outside world in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
The lord of a city is called the mayor. Lao Huang thinks that this is the same as the city department order in the Central Plains city, which is to manage market firms. Of course, the situation on Treasure Island is definitely different. In the name of the mayor Manage the entire city, well.
Zhang Chao rode over, jumped off the horse in front of the wooden house, and tied the horse himself to Lang Xiazhu.
Ah Huang waved his hands unhappily, "Tie the horse away, this is the city hall, it's not proper to pee and **** here."
Zhang Chao tied the horse to himself disapprovingly, and pointed to the noisy scene around him, "Come on, return the city hall, isn't the whole Xinjinshan just a big market, why are there so many details?"
Xinjinshan City, not Xinjinshan City, sounds like a market, and this is what Qin Lang decided.
Old Huang was helpless, "It's too **** messy."
"Then you, the mayor, will take care of it."
"I just came here, and I don't have a clue yet. You're my security captain, give me some advice."
Zhang Chao wiped the mud off his boots vigorously on the wooden boards under the porch, then walked to Ah Huang, put his hands on his waist, and looked at the chaos in front of him.
Since the discovery of the Dajin Miao ore belt in the east mountain, countless people have flocked here. Xinjin Mountain is the landing point, and everyone gathered here first.
Tens of thousands of gold diggers gathered here, and they were all single men. It was really chaotic.
"Get some lime and wooden stakes, draw lines first, plan the streets in the Fang District of Xinjinshan City, and plan the latrines as soon as possible. Damn, I went around in the morning and stepped on three pieces of shit." Zhang Chaoyi Said with an unlucky face.
"No one."
"There are so many people and no one? After every gold digger comes, first detain them and let them work here for half a month."
"Can't you rebel?"
"Give them some benefits, work for half a month, it's not like they won't be paid."
"People come here to pan for gold, who wants to dig ditches and build houses here?"
Zhang Chao said with a smirk, "In this way, as long as we work here for half a month, we will provide them with a map of the gold mine belt, marking the location of the gold found on it. Isn't this attractive?"
"That's okay, what else?"
"There is also the need to attract investment as soon as possible. We must plan the commercial area and open shops for various necessities such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation. With so many people coming to mine for gold, will they have to eat, wear, or need gold digging tools? We have to ensure this well. Otherwise, there will be chaos."
Ah Huang showed his signature wretched smile, and patted Zhang Chao, "As expected of staying with Saburo for so many years, I really have a few hands, okay, I will hand over the work of drawing lines, laying piles and planning neighborhoods, digging latrines and recruiting workers." You are in charge."
"Good guy, are you waiting for me here?"
"Those who can do more work." Ah Huang laughed.
"What are you doing?"
"I am the mayor, and I am in charge of the whole city."
Ah Huang has an important meeting to be held today, and he is waiting for someone here. After a while, people came one after another, and they were all merchants dressed in silk.
Walking in the front is Pharaoh, who used to be a steward of Taiping Bank in Taiping Port. He has only been in San Francisco for one year. The position of big shopkeeper.
Behind him are car dealers, fleets, caravans, and many other people in charge who are about to open a branch in Xinjinshan.
"It's really lively here." Lao Wang followed Ah Huang into the wooden house, and then sat down at the long table. The door of the wooden house was just opened, and the noisy sound from outside came into the house.
He is only a middle-level manager in the general number of Taiping Port. He chose to come to Treasure Island, so he was promoted by one level.
Not only that, but more importantly, he has become the leader of the semicolon alone, which is still very tempting to Lao Wang in his early forties.
Because he became the only one in charge of the shopkeeper, the top shares he got were even higher.
Old Wang has been working in the Qin family for sixteen years. When he first started as an apprentice in the Qin family, the firm was in charge of food and housing, but no salary. After five years of apprenticeship, the salary for one year after the expiration is only a few dollars. This is still under the circumstances that the Qin family is better treated.
After working as a guy for another five years, he already has an outstanding professional level in the account. At this time, he has a regular salary every month, including food, housing and even clothes and shoes. Very good.
But the most attractive thing about the Qin family is not this, but the seniority, that is, according to the number of years you have served in the Qin family, starting from the expiration of the apprenticeship, you will deposit a sum of seniority every year. It will be sent to you directly, but you can withdraw it when you are sick or your family members are seriously ill and other accidents. If there is no accident, you can also wait until you get married, have a child, or the funeral of your parents. When you leave your job or get old, all will be settled together.
This can be regarded as a unique benefit of the Qin family firm. After all, it is given in addition to the normal salary, and it is called very humane.
As long as you have worked in the Qin family firm for ten years, become a senior employee, or be promoted to a middle-level and high-level employee, in addition to the normal salary, you will also receive a top-up bonus.
This top-ranking stock, that is, the post-cadre stock, can get account dividends according to different positions and seniority.
A four-year account period, the dividend depends on the performance, good performance, naturally more dividends.
The Qin family’s various industries have always performed well, so the Qin family’s dividends are very good. The higher the level of employees, the more shares they have and the higher the dividends.
Those big shopkeepers who can control the number one alone have the highest dividends.
When Lao Wang was in Taipinggang, he also had a buttocks, but his buttocks were very different from their big shopkeeper, who could distribute thousands of coins a year.
Even with the contribution of the big treasurer, even if he dies, he can still divide the account into three more periods, that is, twelve years.
Seniority, position, and performance are important criteria for holding shares.
Taiping Qianzhuang belongs to the Qin family property, but not all Qin family property, because the Qin family is only the largest shareholder, and there are many shareholders in partnership. They also share dividends, but they share silver shares.
The shopkeeper and employees are only divided into dry shares, without ownership, only the right to dividends, and are not responsible for risks.
When Lao Wang came to Xinjinshan, his big goal was to make the bank branches prosperous. As long as the performance can be improved, he will pay dividends according to the performance. The better the performance, the more dividends. Both are much stronger.
Lao Wang’s salary here is 100 taels per year, which is what Lao Wang asked for himself, which is very low. When he was working at Taiping Port, his annual salary was already more than 100 taels.
What Lao Wang fancy is the position of the big shopkeeper who stands alone. He asked for a top-up stock of 1% and agreed on a performance target. If the performance reaches the standard year by year, the top-up stock will also rise accordingly.
One percent is one hundredth.
Xinjinshan Semicolon earns 1% of the income as his dividend. If it can earn 10,000 guan, then his dividend will be 100 guan, and if it is 100,000 guan, it will be 1,000 guan.
A dividend of one per cent is really not high. You must know that some of the top managers of the Qin family can even reach ten per cent of their shares, but Lao Wang didn't demand too much all of a sudden. He is willing to use actual performance to prove his ability, and then increase after reaching it.
The general number is of course very satisfied with a young, promising, enterprising and hard-working employee like Lao Wang.
"Treasurer Wang, the bank should open as soon as possible." Ah Huang said politely to the old Wang.
"I brought ten guys from the semicolon this time, all of whom were business backbones. I also transferred ten backbone business guys from the Taipinggang main office, the Jiaozhou branch, and the Guangzhou branch, and thirty more five-year-olds. Apprentices of 10 years, fifty fellows of 3 years, it can be said that the army is strong."
Lao Wang said confidently that the apprentices recruited by the firm are selected thousands of times. They must be smart and clever young people. After passing the selection, they will first go through a three-year stage of doing odd jobs, mainly sweeping the floor and serving tea and water. This is to polish their temper , and at the same time examine the character, such as sometimes leaving money on purpose, to see how to deal with it. If anyone dares to hide and refuse to pay for small profits, he will definitely be fired, or if his hands and feet are unclean and steals goods from the store, he cannot be kept.
After the first stage of inspection period, you can enter the next stage of OTC. Each apprentice is assigned a master, and you have to learn skills such as abacus and copying. If the performance is too poor, you will be expelled.
After passing the second stage of study, you can be promoted to a trainee clerk. At this time, you start to run the streets, and follow the senior clerks to run business in the streets. You are mainly responsible for inquiring about the market, copying letters, etc., and you can officially become a clerk if you do a good job. Have the qualifications to talk about business by yourself.
Old Wang was able to transfer 30 key business associates at once, which shows that the support of the head office is very strong, and it is even more generous to send him 80 associates.
These are all cultivated by the head office and the sub-colons.
"I plan to recruit another hundred apprentices myself."
"Your Taiping Bank is too arrogant. Does a bank need so many buddies and apprentices?" There were other shopkeepers whose teeth were sour, and they were very jealous.
"Of course we have to. Where are we, Treasure Island? How much gold was mined in San Francisco in the past year? How much silver? Copper? Another thing, how many gold diggers and merchant ships were there on Treasure Island last year?" , Do you know the amount of money exchanged and exchange business volume?"
"Although our island is newly developed, it is much stronger than the average state capital in the Central Plains. And now we have discovered new gold seedlings, and more gold diggers are coming. It is conceivable that How big the bank business here will be in the future, of course we have to prepare early, so we don't fight unprepared battles!"
Old Wang is very ambitious. After all, he still has one percent of his top body, and he does a good job. Two or three percent is not a problem. Naturally, he has to work hard to become bigger and stronger.
One hundred apprentices are recruited, and they still need to be cultivated. After the big waves wash the sand, it is estimated that there will be twenty or thirty remaining in the end. Apprentices in Qianzhuang are more demanding than apprentices in ordinary shops. Other shops may recruit apprentices as long as they are good-looking. As long as people are smarter, their bank recruits apprentices not only to be good and smart, but also to teach reading and arithmetic, not just for them to serve tea and sweep the floor.
"Treasurer Wang, please build the bank as soon as possible and open it. Captain Zhang is in charge of planning the neighborhood. You go to choose a location, and then tell Captain Zhang how to build it. He will be responsible for sending someone to help you build the bank first."
"Okay, before that, we will set up a tent to open temporarily, and it will never affect the development of Xinjinshan City." Lao Wang said, patting his chest, he will not wait until the bank is built before opening.
Tens of thousands of people gather here, and countless businessmen and gold diggers come here. This is a huge business.
······
Zhang Chao first set up a wooden bulletin board in front of Ah Huang's city hall, and posted the latest announcements and orders on it.
And sent his security guards around to publicize the notice.
In a few days, Zhang Chao really planned out different areas in the originally messy camp, including the municipal office area, commercial area, residential area, warehouse area, etc.
He also registered everyone, issued an ID card, etc., and established public toilets, canteens, etc.
Using the gold rush map and good wages as an inducement, an engineering team was organized, and they began to cut down trees and dig soil, and formally built the city and built houses.
There are boats at the wharf that continuously bring in food, meat, vegetables and other materials. With these sufficient guarantees, Zhang Chao is in charge of the urban infrastructure of Xinjinshan, and Lao Huang is in charge of investment promotion planning, etc., and they cooperate well.
When the first batch of gold diggers who have been working for half a month took their hard wages, they turned around and went to the tent shops in the business district to make big purchases, buy dry food, tools, etc., then turned around and went to the pier to buy a boat ticket, and got on the boat. The boat to the mining area in the mountains officially started the gold panning journey.
On the other side of the pier, a group of adventurers who had just jumped off the boat and sailed through the wind and waves looked at the land with curious eyes.
Farther away on the sea, many merchant ships are arriving with various goods and materials. On a ship full of gold mining tools such as picks and shovels, Qin Lang is standing on the deck overlooking Xinjinshan City!
