From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 300 The boy said



Chapter 300 The boy said

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, the Red Building Performance Hall was packed with wealthy people from all over the empire.

The venue this time is a little different from usual ones.

On the huge stage, there is only a high auction table.

Then, right in front of the auction table, there were wealthy people, or their representatives, who had each paid a deposit and had their own separate number.

Other spectators or relatives sat in the spectator seats on both sides.

This time, Sun Shan used Arabic numerals, from 1 to 100, and distributed a total of 100 numbers.

This was also Sun Shan's intention, to promote this very easy to remember and calculate number to the entire empire through the first auction of the Sui Empire.

I believe that with this public promotion, everyone who has seen and used it will know the benefits of this number and it will be gradually promoted.

Of course, if you want to promote it on a large scale, this alone is not enough.

Only after the school funded by the Datong Chamber of Commerce Charity Fund is built next year, or after we become the dominant force in the area, will it be possible to promote it on a large scale.

However, it is also important to leave a shadow in the hearts of the imperial nobles and the people first.

Then, with the growth and increase in performance of the companies under the Datong Chamber of Commerce, more advanced figures and more advanced accounting methods will be used.

It will also force the accountants under him to accept more advanced and reasonable Arabic numerals.

Sure enough, at this moment, Yang Yongwang and others were holding wooden plaques made of nanmu wood and carved with Arabic numerals by Datong Chamber of Commerce, looking at them left and right.

Some housekeepers who followed Sun Shan and used it as a reference for accounting even openly discussed the benefits of what Sun Shan called the Datong numbers.

Compared with the complicated traditional Chinese numerals, these simple Datong numerals are so convenient that even children can recognize them after seeing them several times.

Sun Shan was well-behaved today, wearing a black, slightly tight-fitting Zhongshan suit.

This made him, who was already nearly 1 meters tall, look even taller and more slender in the middle of winter, wearing only two thin clothes.

In addition, because of the internal energy training over the past six months, her skin has become as white as jade, emitting a mysterious and gentle glow from the inside out.

"Dear distinguished guests, dear fellow countrymen, good morning!"

After Sun Shan greeted everyone cordially and briefly, he bowed respectfully towards the front and to the left and right.

Suddenly, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the auction hall.

This time, the mother and daughter of the Mo Ding family were brought to the auction site by the old man of the Mo family for the first time.

At this moment, the mother and daughter were staring closely at Sun Shan, who was tall and shining like a star on the auction table.

I was shaking with excitement.

Since they met Sun Shan at Mo's house that day, they never had the chance to see Sun Shan again.

Although, Mo Ding also took her daughter to visit Sun Shan's home twice and had a general understanding of Sun Shan's relatives.

However, Sun Shan was not present, and Qiuxiang and Wang Lingzhi were both pregnant.

The Sun family didn't really care about Sun Shan having a concubine.

This made the mother and daughter of the Mo Ding family very anxious. They found the clan leader a few days ago and begged Mo Jiayuan to take them to see if they could meet Sun Shan.

It is best to make an appointment so that you have a chance to develop your relationship in private.

"Today, I and the Datong Chamber of Commerce are holding a public auction for the Datong shares I hold. The so-called auction means that every time I take out a portion of my shares, whoever offers the highest price will own them."

"First, let me talk about the composition of the shares and the shares I will auction this time."

Sun Shan paused for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "I currently own 30% of all the shares of Datong. This time, I will take out half of the shares of Datong Chamber of Commerce headquarters, as well as half of the shares of Datong's various companies such as the transportation agency, and put them all up for public auction."

“The proceeds from this auction will be used mainly to invest in the Coal Bureau and the Smelting Bureau that will be launched next year.”

At this point, Sun Shan laughed at himself and said, "Everyone should know that I, Sun Shan, was originally a poor scholar. It was with the help of Prince Heng and others that I was able to achieve today's small achievements. Naturally, I don't have the energy to continue investing on a large scale."

This self-deprecating remark immediately attracted thousands of people in the audience to applaud and cheer.

Even Wang Baoyu, who came to Hengzhou again, gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Shan on the stage. He seemed like a completely different person after just three months of not seeing him. He felt envious for the first time.

This person really started from scratch, from having nothing to becoming a millionaire in just half a year.

Don't tell me what means he used. Just know that he dared to admit in front of the dignitaries of the Datong Empire that he was once a poor boy.

This shows how strong his heart is!

When the applause died down, Sun Shan explained the details of the share auction: "At present, our Datong Chamber of Commerce's large shares are divided into ten parts. In order to facilitate operation and to welcome more friends who are willing to add strength to the business of the Great Sui Empire to join our team, our Datong Chamber of Commerce has tentatively decided to subdivide it into 10000 small shares."

"That is to say, I currently have 3000 small shares of the Datong Chamber of Commerce. I will auction 500 of them. In addition, there are to small shares of each of its subsidiaries, which will also be auctioned separately."

At this point, Sun Shan smiled confidently and said, "You may think that this one-tenth of a share is not worth much, but half a year ago, all our shares might only be worth this price. Perhaps, after another ten or eight years of development, when our Datong Chamber of Commerce grows to a certain level, we may further subdivide it into 10 small shares, or even 100 million small shares. It is not impossible!"

These words caused the entire auction hall to fall silent.

Then, the atmosphere began to boil.

They whispered with the people around them, discussing how big the Datong Chamber of Commerce would be after ten years of development with royal investment.

If you can get involved at this time, the future benefits will definitely be huge!

Besides, I can take this opportunity to get on board the royal family and Sun Shan’s big ship.

Even if you can get one or two projects from the many companies in Datong Chamber of Commerce, it will be enough to make a fortune.

Ding Zhilai thought about it for a moment and waved his arm towards his third brother Ding Zhiyuan who got the number 8.

Signal him to go all out and try to win this game first.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one who thought so. The uncle and nephew of the Wang family also exchanged glances at the same time. Wang Baoyu, holding the number 9 card in his hand, was even more confident.

"As for the auction method and details, I believe everyone has learned about it through our staff when they paid the deposit and received the number just now."

"Next, let me explain my personal views on the distribution after this auction-----"

At this point, Sun Shan's eyes glowed brightly, and he announced in a loud and passionate voice: "I, Sun Shan, will use one tenth of the proceeds from this auction to build schools. Our Datong Chamber of Commerce and the Hengzhou government will build 50 elementary schools in our entire Hengzhou Prefecture. The standard for each school is 5 faculty members and about 100 students!"

As the auction hall fell silent, Sun Shan waved his right arm and said, "All expenses for the construction of these 50 schools, as well as the future salaries of the teaching staff, will be provided by a specially established education fund. Students who enroll nearby will only need to pay for their own living expenses, and even the textbooks will be provided by the school."

"I think that in this way, within three to five years, more high-quality students and more outstanding talents will emerge in our Hengzhou, and will create greater glory for our Great Sui Empire."

At this point, Sun Shan generously waved his fist, adding his inner strength to his voice, emitting a force of gold: "If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are rich, the country will be rich; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are independent, the country will be independent; if the youth are free, the country will be free; if the youth are progressive, the country will be progressive; if the youth are better than other countries, the country will be better than other countries; if the youth are the most powerful in the world, the country will be the most powerful in the world."

"The young man is the morning sun. He represents tomorrow and hope. He represents the future of our nation and empire----"

In the midst of his impassioned speech, Sun Shan's spirit rose up again, and then, in large waves, the popularity gushed out from the Yintang Tianyan acupoints of more than 2000 people in the auction hall, and attacked Sun Shan's body directly.
