Chapter 63: The New Zhang Family Merchant Group

  "Now that we have new members joining, according to the plan I specified earlier, these 296,000 taels must be divided into 296,000 shares, with each share being one tael of silver. I call this the stock price. When the time comes, whether we make a profit or loss can be easily calculated using this standard. Also, I suddenly thought of a new method and want to share it with you all."

  Zhang Lei took out a few sheets of paper, which were printed not long ago. They looked similar to silver tickets and had two lines of text: "Original stock price per share is one or two taels, subscribe XX shares."

  "He said, 'This is the equity certificate I made. Whoever puts in how many taels of silver will have that many shares written on it. This paper is in whose hands, and I'll consider whoever has this paper to own this share.' Come on, everyone fill one out, two copies each, keep one for yourself and hand one over to me."

  Su Tong smiled and said: "If someone takes this paper, it means they own the stock. If I sell it, will I get that much money too?"

  "Ah, right! I almost forgot to mention something very important. Miss Su's words just reminded me. Regarding the stock transaction issue, here's what I think: since everyone's products are handed over to Zhangshi Business Association for unified sales, based on profits, every month I will calculate and compare the profit and loss situation of this month. At that time, one share may be worth two silver coins, so 10,000 shares would be 20,000 silver coins, not 10,000 silver coins. In this way, the value of everyone's stock certificates can change at any time. If everyone works together and Zhangshi Business Association develops and grows, then everyone's stock certificates will become more valuable. On the other hand, if everyone is negative and lazy, leading to losses for Zhangshi Business Association, then everyone's stock certificates will also depreciate."

  "Boss Zhang is really ruthless, if we don't work hard to make it back, this money will be gone." Ma Teng said, waving the stock certificate in his hand. This piece of paper in his hand was now quite valuable.

  Zhang Lei smiled and said, "I'm doing this for the stability and development of the Chamber of Commerce. If not, it would be difficult to manage. Everyone's subscribed money will be put together in the Zhang family Chamber of Commerce account, and then every day's transaction amount after deducting the cost will also enter this account. The value of this stock certificate changes every day. You say, isn't this fun?

  "By the way, Miss Su mentioned the issue of buying and selling earlier. I'd like to clarify that since I said earlier that whoever holds the share certificate owns the asset, if anyone else wants to join in besides those present here, they can only do so by injecting funds into the company. I will sell shares based on the current stock price. Of course, any shares purchased from me will be deducted from my 51% stake. If someone wants to buy shares from you, they must also purchase them at a price not lower than the current stock price and then come to me to register and exchange the share certificate."

  "This way, shares can be bought and sold mutually. For example, I can buy the shares held by Director Xu. If I purchase all of his shares, then I will own the original shares that belonged to both of us, and he will lose his qualification as a shareholder of Zhang's Chamber of Commerce. Does everyone understand my explanation?"

  Su Tong smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, you're really clever. So according to your words, whoever needs cash urgently can sell a part of their shares, and then buy them back when they want to? But if someone specializes in buying low and selling high, wouldn't that be taking advantage of the situation?"

  "Why not? I call this phenomenon investment, don't you think it's very free? The Chamber of Commerce cannot develop without restrictions. If the business is not doing well and the price drops, then the stock that was just bought for one or two silver coins per share will now be worth only nine cents per share. This is also not impossible." Zhang Lei said with a smile.

  "Since I hold 51% of the shares and have control over Zhang's business, I have the right to propose a plan for the use of funds on Zhang's tech account. After announcing my decision at a shareholders' meeting composed of shareholders with more than 10% or more shares, the voting power will be determined by the number of shares held." Zhang Lei continued.

  Xu Feng said: "That's natural, if you want to have more shares, then go buy them from others with your own money. As long as you can afford it. But this vote, Boss Zhang, you now hold 51% of the shares, even if we all vote together, we can't outvote you, so isn't it just a matter of listening to you?"

  Zhang Lei nodded and replied, "Right, the operation is that simple. The funds no longer belong to anyone, but depend on the stock certificates in hand. So one day, I might sell my own shares, who would have thought of such a thing? You guys say, isn't this game fun?"

  After Zhang Lei's humorous explanation, everyone finally understood the entire operation mode of the funds. For this method that must be done to avoid losses, everyone expressed strong interest.

  From now on, Zhang's Chamber of Commerce has entered a brand new management model. The shareholders have changed from the initial few people to an unfixed number, but no matter what, 51% of the shares will never be let go by Zhang Lei. He wants to control Zhang's Chamber of Commerce absolutely effectively under the premise of being able to raise funds.

  "After this way is universally recognized by everyone, Zhang Lei said: 'Actually, today in addition to the Su family's joining and the calculation method of shares, I also want to announce an important thing.'"

  "What's up? We're in this together now, just say what you want, Zhang." Su Tong said.

  Zhang Lei said, "From now on, everyone present here will be in control of the entire Songjiang Prefecture's woodworking machinery market. Of course, Songjiang Prefecture is definitely not enough for me, and there will be even broader prospects in the future."

  "What is Boss Zhang talking about? Is it to expand the market outside? It seems a bit too early." Su Tong hesitated and said. Although they have now integrated all the resources of Songjiang Prefecture, it's only in name, and there's still a lot of work to be done in reality. In this situation, she doesn't think it's good to expand the market.

  It dawned on Su Tong that he had misunderstood Zhang Lei's intention, so Zhang Lei hastened to explain: "You're joking, the market in Songjiang Prefecture is still not fully tapped, and you want to expand into other markets? What I mean is, in the past, everyone produced machinery based on their own designs, and many places were different from others. Now that Zhang's Chamber of Commerce has become the sole representative, can't we also establish a standard for the woodworking industry? This way, everyone can share resources. For example, we can merge our factories, and whoever is good at producing certain parts will specialize in making those parts. In this way, everyone does their best part, and then assembles and integrates them later. Not only can this bring out everyone's strengths, but it can also improve production efficiency."

  "Ah ha, doesn't that mean our originally independent factory is just like a department now?" Ma Teng said with a smile.

  Zhang Lei nodded and said, "It can also be understood in this way. My idea is to establish a unified standard and then carry out assembly line production. The so-called assembly line production is to give full play to everyone's greatest advantage and specialize in one area. This not only improves production efficiency but also makes the product quality much better."

  "I think this is feasible," Su Tong asked, "Boss, have you already got a plan?"

  Zhang Lei told Feng Yong to take out his plan and distribute it to the crowd, saying: "I won't say anything, it's all on there, you guys take a look for yourselves."

  After reading Zhang Lei's plan, everyone expressed their satisfaction. Su Tong said: "From my personal point of view, I agree with Mr. Zhang's plans."

  Others couldn't think of any drawbacks to this approach, so they all expressed their agreement. Zhang Lei smiled and said: "Alright, since it's like that, then let's consider this matter settled. From now on, we'll hold a meeting here on the first day of every month. First, we'll review last month's profit and loss situation to clarify the stock price. Looking at the 100 shares in our hands, one share has changed from one or two taels to two or three taels. I believe you will all be more motivated. Then, we'll make a development plan for next month."

  "Hmm, that makes sense. I suddenly feel that Su's decision to join the Chamber of Commerce was a wise one. Boss Zhang has shown me so many things today that I had never heard of before, it really opened my eyes." Su Tong said with a smile. In his heart, he also looked at this young man in a new light, his achievements today were entirely due to his own efforts.

  Zhang Lei happily said: "Being able to get Miss Su's favor is the blessing I, Zhang, accumulated in my previous life! Haha, okay, everyone, if there's nothing else, let's disperse. It's already late, and I've arranged for several tables of wine and dishes in the dining hall, so go eat first."

  After dinner, Zhang Lei suddenly thought of someone, that is, Qiu Ya, who had just met. When he learned that he was once a student of Xu Guangqi, Zhang Lei was shocked, but at the time, because of his relationship with Su's family, he didn't dare to let him stay by his side. Now that Su's family has also become a member of the Zhang family business association, there is no longer this concern. So just as Su Tong was about to leave, Zhang Lei asked: "I wonder where Qiu Ya is now? He is a talented person, if he can be absorbed into the Zhang family business association, it will be a good helper for me."

  "Is that so? Boss Zhang has such a high opinion of him? If that's the case, then I'll just send someone to call him over here after I get back." Su Tong said with a smile.
