Fatty Jia went to the Federation of Industry and Commerce the next day and was preparing to start a joint venture project for an official-private partnership.

The yamen of the Federation of Industry and Commerce is a newly built four-story building with reinforced concrete structure. The office of the Chairman and Vice Chairman occupies a full floor on the top floor. A large conference room is arranged, equipped with new-style office desk chairs of the same color. The towering buildings of the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the high-standard equipment make the adjacent officials of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce envious.

Fatty Jia likes to sleep in. When he comes to the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Federation of Industry and Commerce is already overcrowded.

Gu Yanwu did not expect that the speech yesterday would attract so many people. It seemed that no one would let go of the opportunity to make money. It seemed that the speech was a bit too much, so there were too many people coming. The investment promotion department that was originally prepared seemed to be conservative, and eight investment promotion offices were set up, but it was not enough.

Gu Yanwu immediately thought of a move - queue up to issue numbers. Just like the number calling system of a hospital in later generations, he specially arranged a person to call the number, from the investment promotion office one to the investment promotion office eight, and according to the number, he would call the next number after receiving the number.

The investment work from the Investment Promotion Office to the Investment Promotion Office is carried out in an orderly manner. The work carried out is actually very simple. That is, each office will divide dozens of projects, and then people who are interested in "official-private partnership" will follow the map and select the projects they are interested in from the listed projects, and leave them to discuss the conditions in the future. Only after the conditions are negotiated can the project be officially established. Today's work is to communicate a little, and then register a project intention will be completed.

People from the investment promotion department to the seventh place all had a happy expression, but the people from the investment promotion department were all sad. The people from the investment promotion department turned their backs and got a line number. When Fatty Jia saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly approached a person who had just come out of the investment promotion department and asked:

"Why do you still need to get a job? Didn't you register at the Investment Promotion Office 8 just now?"

The man frowned and said:

"Don't mention it. The directors of the eight departments made things difficult for the people and did not register at all. I heard that the other seven places were all rejected, so I got another number and prepared to go to the other seven places to try my luck."

Another person spoke and reminded:

"Brother, I'll remind you below. If you ask you to go to the eighth place, don't be fooled. If you go to the eighth place, it's just a waste of the queue numbers in your hand. Look, no one will go to the eighth place at all. If you want to go to the eighth place, you don't have to queue up to get the number."

Fatty Jia didn't believe in evil, and thought to himself that with his broad knowledge, would he still be afraid of being stumped? He said carelessly:

"Oh, since you don't have to queue up, why don't you go and try it!" After saying that, he stepped forward to the door with the "Eighth Investment Promotion Office" hanging.

Zhu Tong (Shanglin Xiajin), the director of the Eighth Department of Investment Promotion, was the first group of members of the royal family to come to Nanjing in response to the imperial edict. The ninth generation grandson of Zhu Quan, the Ningxian king of Nanchang, did not know why the emperor summoned himself to Nanjing. After Chengzu, members of the royal family were strictly restricted from becoming officials, and even the mutual exchanges between members of the royal family were restricted, so Zhu Tong (Shanglin Xiajin) could only immerse himself in calligraphy and painting.

He didn't know that since the princess arrived in Nanjing, she thought of this Zhu Tong (upper forest and gold). Dr. Chen had a family background in his previous life. Under the influence of his father, Dr. Chen had studied Chinese painting for several years in his childhood. His interest in calligraphy and painting has been with Dr. Chen since childhood. How could he not know about the famous painter "Bada Shanren" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties! For three hundred years, "Bada Shanren" is famous in the painting world, and painters such as "Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics", Wu Changshuo, modern Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Pan Tianshou, and Li Kuchan have been influenced by him. These Bada Shanren are Zhu Tong (upper forest and gold), and later there is an alias - Zhu Da.

Zhu Tong (top, forest and gold) clearly remembered what the emperor said to him:

"My dear, now is an extraordinary period. There is only half of the country left in the Ming Dynasty. You are a member of the royal family. You are a member of the royal family. In this situation, members of the royal family must contribute to the country. There is no way, and there is a shortage of talents! At least the children of the royal family have received a good education, and all the children of my Zhu family are smart people, especially you. I am very optimistic about you! I hope you can do a good job and not let my expectations down!"

When the emperor came, he specially named Zhu Tongyi, inspiring him to make contributions to unifying the country and restoring his hometown.

After being encouraged by the emperor, Zhu Tongyi was sent to the Military Engineering Academy to study. During the month of the Military Engineering Academy, the princess had several discussions with Zhu Tongyi in painting. Zhu Tongyi had a glimpse of the methods of perspective and light and darkness. The princess thought that if these Western paintings were combined into Zhu Tongyi's paintings, I wonder if the paintings of "Bada Shanren" would be mixed with Xu Beihong's style.

Chongzhen originally hoped that Zhu Tongyi might become a scientist with Zhu Tongyi's spirituality. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The Federation of Industry and Commerce was invented and there was a shortage of people, so he rushed the ducks to put them on the shelves. Zhu Tongyi was appointed as the director of the Eighth Department of Investment and Merchants. Zhu Tongyi was named Lieutenant of the State Supplementary State, and he enjoyed 300 stones per year according to the standards, but he didn't know what level the director was. He was the emperor's decree, so he was the director. He was also an official. He eventually broke through the original forbidden area of ​​the royal family. The nineteen-year-old Zhu Tongyi was excited for a while.

Speaking of Director Zhu, there are only two people under him for the time being. But Director Zhu didn't care about so much and devoted himself to the investment work with great enthusiasm.

After receiving several people who applied for "official-private partnership", Zhu Tongyi was disappointed and simply asked them to leave directly, but they did not ask them to fill out forms and register with their two subordinates. Who are these people? They have two money and do not meet any other conditions. Such people also come to "official-private partnership". Can they do it well?

Fatty Jia came in with a big thorn, and a subordinate quickly called Fatty Jia to the director's office of the inner room. Fatty Jia saw a young man sitting on the sofa opposite, who was less than 80 years old, and thought to himself, whose young man was this? No wonder he was so arrogant!

Director Zhu is actually not very arrogant. When he saw Fatty Jia coming in, he greeted him politely:

"Sir, please sit down!"

Now the officials call it "sir" to everyone, and it has been popular for a while.

Fatty Jia was not polite, and sat down on the sofa, but wanted to see how the director dealt with.

"Sir, your surname is?"

"Don't let your surname be a Jia."

"Sir, have you ever worked as a craftsman before? Or managed a workshop?" Zhu Tongyi was straightforward and was not a fool.

"This is never. However, the investment projects are very simple. As long as you hire some craftsmen, it is not difficult." Fatty Jia was confident and calm.

"In this way, Mr. Jia is the same. He is rich and has nothing else. If this is the case, it may not be appropriate to do a 'official and private joint venture'." Zhu Tongyi spoke straight and did not make any turns.

Fatty Jia thought to himself that before he could say a few words, the young master made a conclusion. No wonder the person in front said that this guy was all making things difficult. He was a little embarrassed and said in a voice:

"Hey, I said, you, Mr. Director, have not had any such and such requests before. Didn't you say that anyone can come to 'official and private joint ventures'? Why did it change when you come to you!"

"Oh, this is not surprising! Mr. should be a wise man. He must have heard of the saying "There is a specialty in skills". Although this project is small, it is also a craftsman. It doesn't take even a year or two to enter. No matter how small the workshop is, there must be a venue, and a craftsman. For example, a blacksmith shop must build a blacksmith shed, and a master must always ask for one or two apprentices. There must be a stove and charcoal. Now that you are just rich and have nothing else, I will give you a project. Can you do it? If you can't do it, first, you have wasted money, and second, the Ministry of Works will find you to buy parts and you can't make it. Both ends will be misleading. It's better not to go too much now." Although Zhu Tongyi was young, he was a member of the Ming Dynasty. He has seen many scenes in various situations. The truth is also one set of reasons.

"Hey, I said, Mr. Director, how can you say that? First, you have to see what kind of project it is. If you have a project, as long as you have money, can you hire a craftsman? You can do it first in our backyard. If it doesn't work, can you rent it in your industrial area? It's not difficult to have money to build a house. As for equipment and technology, will not the Ministry of Industry provide it? Otherwise, why should the Ministry of Industry hold a stake?" Fatty Jia was eloquent, and it wouldn't be possible to kill him in a few words.

"Mr. Jia, what you said is right. The Ministry of Works is good at providing equipment and technology. You can buy equipment from the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works will also teach it. But Mr. Jia, you think, if you have a venue, there are ready-made craftsmen, or even your craftsmen know how to make irons, such as doing a spring project, will you get started much faster? Don't expect the Ministry of Works to handle everything for you? Let me tell you the truth. The Ministry of Works is very busy now and can't even take care of it. How can I teach the newbie step by step! Therefore, my investment scope is those who have worked in workshops, which are a bit basic and can be understood by analogy. If Mr. Jia is like this, I'm sorry that I'm not optimistic about the teacher, and I'll come to the 'official and private joint venture'." Judging from this attitude, this young master who looks a little tender still has some knowledge, and it's not just arrogance.

But Fatty Jia is not a good deal, he has been experiencing trouble with the director:

"I said, you director, what we are fighting for here is just a question of 'there are chickens first or eggs first'. I said there are eggs, and you said there are chickens only. What's the use of fighting for this? Otherwise, I can also do the spring project. If you find someone who thinks there are conditions, let's compare and see who does it well? At that time, the Ministry of Labor will send people to teach technology, and both of them are the same. Is it OK?"

Seeing this man's persistent spirit, Zhu Tongyi was a little surprised and had to join him:

"Does Mr. Jia have to do it? Are you not afraid of losing money?"

"Of course I'm not afraid. If I'm afraid of losing money, wouldn't it be embarrassing to come here?" As for this, Fatty Jia has never shown weakness in his words. How could he admit it now!

Zhu Tongyi thought about it and it seemed that this fat man was really prepared and it was unknown if he had a few tricks. He immediately said:

"Okay, the spring project won't be a burden. There is a gear project here. Do you dare to do it?" Zhu Tongyi does not have the concept of monopoly and repeated construction. One gear project is also built, and two gear projects are also built, so just two. At worst, you can find another one with good conditions.

"Of course, I dare not do anything! If you dare to issue this project, I will dare to take it."

Fatty Jia didn't even get a single hair when he bid for gold mine last time. He just ranked seventh. The top six all occupied the shares of the gold mine, but they didn't take the turn to Fatty Jia. As a result, Wu Sangui naturally didn't give him a good look. However, the winning price last time was indeed a bit outrageous. Even if the winning bid was considered, it was hard to say it was a blessing or a disaster. Wu Sangui was also open-minded. This time he came again, of course, he wanted to get a share of the "official-private joint venture". With Wu Sangui's strength, there were more than a few hundred craftsmen in the army. If Wu Sangui had no conditions, who would have the conditions! However, Fatty Jia could not reveal this bottom, so he had to fight with the young and energetic young man in front of him. Unexpectedly, the one he got in the end was the most difficult and most invested gear project.

From the investment promotion department to the seventh investment promotion department, all the projects they were assigned to within one day had the intention of "official-private joint venture". There were only eight investment promotion departments. After one day, they only registered Fatty Jia, and only one project assigned to dozens of projects he had, and only one project with gear was interested. Gu Yanwu was very satisfied with the investment promotion work of the other seven departments. However, for the investment promotion department, there was no other way except to express a headache to this young master.

The next day, Chairman Zheng, Vice Chairman Qu and Secretary-General Gu Yanwu were summoned to the palace, and Chongzhen asked them to read a memorial first. The memorial was well written. After reading it, the three of them realized that it was written by Zhu Tongyi, Director of the Eighth Department. The first thing in the memorial was about the various disadvantages of unconditional investment promotion. The solution proposed was to mobilize members of the royal family to work together to develop industry.

The memorial says that instead of attracting investment without any goal, it is better to recruit targeted investment. The conditions for members of the royal family are very good. If the royal family has been hereditary for many generations, the roots are often rich, and a group of members of the royal family are often thousands of. Some of them have been crowned kings in the early days. The royal family is equipped with officials (there are left and right chief officials, setting up trial offices, dictionary offices, worship offices, dictionary offices, dictionary offices, good doctors offices, dictionary offices, eight offices of Gongzheng Institutes, and accompanying study and professors). Among them, Gongzheng Institutes are skilled craftsmen in charge. All members of the royal family have received good education.

Among them, Zhu Zaiyu is a genius of a generation, and there are many craftsmen who serve the royal family. Since there is a shortage of talents now, Zhu Tongyi can be used, why can't other royal family members be used? Instead of letting the royal family members waste national treasury, it is better to let the royal family members participate in the Ming Dynasty industrial development plan. This does not involve military and civil affairs. Therefore, the emperor is asked to allow the royal family to participate. Although the royal family is of different quality, after all, the good ones can be selected and used. Even if one of the ten is the best, there are tens of thousands of royal family members available. In this way, the Ming royal family should be encouraged to start businesses and develop in the industry.

Gu Yanwu read the memorial and knew that what he said was reasonable. The current investment promotion method is to cross the river by feeling the stones. He first started to build the "official-private joint venture". As for whether every project can be successful, it is absolutely impossible to guarantee that it will be successful, but no matter what, there will always be some success, which is enough. Director Wang also raised similar concerns, but because there is no other good strategy, he had to come up with this investment promotion strategy. This investment promotion strategy is also considered to be a way to attract jade. As long as the entrepreneurial climate is formed, a virtuous cycle will naturally form in the future.

As for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, it was not so easy to serve. Most of them were playboys. They were pretty good at talking big, but few people who could do practical things, and they were really worried about handing over the project to the royal family. Besides, the emperor has always been very careful in defending the royal family. This Zhu Tongyi is the branch of King Ning Xian. Since Zhu Chenhao rebelled and was killed, this branch has declined. Of course, there is no threat. The emperor can use people with confidence. But other branches are hard to say.

Gu Yanwu was still thinking about the pros and cons, but the emperor made a decision. The expenses of this royal family accounted for more than 30% of the annual income, and these members of the royal family were simply consuming national treasury. This was like a cancer. If it was not cured, even if the Ming Dynasty could reorganize the mountains and rivers and continue to raise it like this, the reproduction of the royal family was unsuppressible. A person could give birth to 70 sons, which was comparable to the reproduction speed of mice. If this continued, it would eventually drag down the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, Chongzhen firmly supported Zhu Tongyi this time:

"If the royal family can contribute to the development of our Ming Dynasty industry, it will be of great good! This proposal should be supported! The royal family has grown up for more than 200,000 people by the Tianqi Dynasty. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have caused rebellion, and there are many killed, but there are still 120,000 members of the royal family. The court only uses the cost of the royal family, and the third is the ten. I want to allow the royal family to enter the industrial and commercial field. This time, the "official-private joint venture" is allowed to participate. This matter may be left to Zhu Tongyi and let him handle it!"
