Shi Diwen asked: "Our country has issued railway bonds in the past. Has any of you done research on this?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi Diwen was not surprised. After all, railway bonds are not common in the market, and these young people may not have the opportunity to come into contact with them.
He continued: "If you only compare economic returns, railroad bonds may not be as profitable as bulk trade, at least on the surface. But you must know that those who are willing to pay large sums of money to buy railroad bonds have money People often look not only at the yield of the bond itself, but also its stable and reliable characteristics.”
As we all know, there are roughly two types of lucrative trades. One is cross-border and cross-regional commodity trafficking, which relies on its scarcity outside the place of origin to obtain high returns. Selling to Europe belongs to this type of trade.
Although this kind of trade has good income, but because of long-distance trafficking across regions, its business risks cannot be ignored. Unpredictable risks may occur in all links of production, procurement, transportation, handover, and settlement, which has a greater impact on the strength of merchants. high demands.
The other category is special commodities that are operated through monopoly, such as salt, iron, tobacco, etc. These commodities are often necessities for life and even survival, and it is difficult for ordinary merchants to obtain the right to operate them.Even a very small number of merchants who can obtain franchise rights also have to face various risks in the sales process.
But even if there are huge profits, it is impossible for all the funds held by big businessmen to be invested in business activities, and a part of the money must be reserved as working capital.And how to use the surplus funds on hand to make money is also a question that needs to be carefully considered for large businessmen.
In the past, rich people either collected a large amount of cash at home, or made profits by lending money through banks and other means.But there is no profit in hoarding winter melons in the cellar, and lending has to face the risk that the funds may not be recovered.
After the emergence of Haihan Bank, large merchants discovered that depositing funds in the bank for safekeeping can also earn interest income. Although it is not much, it is safe and stable, and it is also convenient for settlement of trade activities.The engineering bonds jointly issued by the government and Haihan Bank soon became another investment method.
When Haihan was building the Changhua-Danzhou railway in its early years, it had already issued railway bonds worth several million yuan in China through Haihan Bank. Because the income was higher than that of deposits, it achieved good results at that time. financing effect.The well-to-do were more than happy to exchange their surplus funds for steady-yielding railroad bonds, or to sell them upfront for cash if necessary.
"For rich people, buying this kind of engineering bonds issued by the government is a trouble-free and worry-free financial management method. You don't have to worry about the business process, and you don't have to worry about the return of capital, you can make the spare money in your hands stable. It is difficult to find a more secure way than this in the world."
When Shi Diwen said this, he picked up the teacup to moisten his throat again, and then said: "Of course, in addition to economic benefits, this is also a way to win official recognition. Rich people want to prove that they are worthy of the new It is a good way to show the loyalty and obedience of the court, and to invest money in such expensive infrastructure projects.”
Haihan's replacement of Daming, although in most areas the handover is carried out in a peaceful manner, the wealthy gentry class will not be completely at ease. Many people are trying to take the upper-level route in order to protect themselves in the chaotic times of dynasty change. of glory and wealth.
But it is not so easy to win the trust of the new ruler. Even if you want to give gifts to the newly appointed Haihan officials, you often have no way to enter.
However, there is no threshold for investing in the infrastructure projects hosted by the government, and buying project bonds is not simply bleeding, but can also get a certain amount of income from it, and at the same time get the opportunity to contact high-ranking Haihan officials. Why not do it?
Tao Hongfang said: "Sounds like a good method, so does Uncle Shi have the will to investigate the local gentry?"
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "Investigation work is definitely going to be done. I have met many people and asked them about the issue of railway bonds, and most of them are willing to participate. At present, I have asked After submitting the relevant application, we are waiting for the approval from Sanya.”
Tao Hongfang continued to ask: "In the plan to move the capital, there must be more than one large-scale project like the Hang-Nanjing Railway? Is Uncle Shi planning to issue bonds to raise funds for the project?"
Shi Diwen said: "Just for the land passage between Hangzhou and Ningbo, two routes have been planned at present, one is the railway, and the other is the official road. The project scale of the official road is relatively small, mainly for the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I also plan to build a land passage leading to the coast on the north side of Hangzhou Bay, connecting Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Songjiang, and incorporating the Yangtze River estuary into the future capital. within the jurisdiction."
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard. They were all a generation who grew up in Hainan Island. After being influenced by their ears and eyes since childhood, they naturally understood the great role that convenient transportation can play in the development of local economy.If Shi Diwen's idea can be realized, then there will be convenient land passages on the north and south sides of Hangzhou Bay, connecting multiple state capitals in this area.
Based on the population and economic base of this area, if the transportation conditions can be greatly improved, it is not impossible to replicate the current prosperity of Hainan Island.
Then I heard Shi Diwen continue to say: "After the Bay Area develops to a certain scale, we can gradually absorb the areas around Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River Basin north of the Bay Area. Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Nanjing have a considerable foundation. Yes, if you want people, people, and money, you can definitely develop at the same time as the Bay Area, making this area the most prosperous area in our country in the future!"
Shi Diwen's idea is certainly not groundless. Although he lived in North America before traveling, he is no stranger to the development of the Yangtze River Delta region.Since this area had excellent objective conditions at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not only a land of fish and rice rich in products, but also a developed area of commerce and trade in this era, then it is completely possible to use Haihan's development capabilities to build this place into a seventeenth-century world center.
And his ideas are certainly no strangers to the Executive Committee.This part of the content is also one of the important reasons why the capital relocation plan was able to successfully win the support of the Executive Committee.
