I am the godfather in the pirate world
Chapter 40 Rogue Town is about to enter the electrical age
The people who came in behind Bartolomeo were also acquaintances.
The president of the Tulum Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Tulum, the owner of Beifeng Shipyard, Mr. Terry, the patriarch of the Sikali family, Mr. Tang...
All of them are famous businessmen in Rogge Town.
Without exception, everyone who came in had excited smiles on their faces.
Tu Lun, the president of the Tu Lun Chamber of Commerce, whose members included merchants from dozens of surrounding island towns, bowed to Li Jing, "Dear Godfather, please forgive me for coming uninvited."
Li Jing smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite, "This is not something you should say to your friends. Please sit down."
No one refused. They all knew that the godfather was an approachable person, and his deliberate humility would offend him.
As soon as he sat down, Tulum couldn't help but ask, "Godfather, will the power supply of Ulysses Electric Company cover the entire Rogge Town?"
He is a smart man.
Li Jing nodded approvingly, "Of course, as long as the customer can afford the fee, no matter where he is in Rogge Town, we will connect him to electricity."
Li Jing noticed that after he said these words, everyone sitting across from him became excited and clenched their fists.
As businessmen with a keen sense of smell, they know exactly what this means.
A vast market is right in front of them.
Li Jing continued, "Besides, Rogge Town is too small, isn't it?"
Everyone was stunned, and immediately understood what Li Jing meant, and all of them were so excited that their noses started to puff.
Li Jing curled her lips, "The goal of Ulysses Electric Power Company is to build power plants in every country in the East China Sea."
This is not a joke, this matter has been written in Li Jing's plan from the beginning.
Rogge Town alone cannot satisfy Li Jing's appetite.
Mr. Tang from the Sikali family, an old business family in Rogge Town, said solemnly, "Godfather, you are really a great man. Your actions are indeed opening up a new era, the era of electricity."
Li Jing waved his hand, "Don't say that, my friend, I'm just trying to make money. Although it's not shameful, I don't feel honored either."
"Do not,"
Tang shook his head, "If you have to do amazing things for a noble purpose in your heart to be considered great, then didn't the great men in history make mistakes? Didn't they have any selfish desires in their hearts?"
Really flattering.
Li Jing smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Li Jing didn't respond, Tang was not embarrassed at all. He took a deep breath and said, "Godfather, we plan to enter the electrical industry. What do you think you want to do yourself?"
He was very careful and never thought of competing with himself for food.
Li Jing looked at these people. They were all nervous. If Li Jing refused them to work in the electrical industry, there was no doubt that they would not be able to refuse.
But it's not necessary, is it?
Li Jing wrote lightly, "Oh? This is a good thing. Without supporting products, pure electricity is useless."
"Ulysses Electric only produces electricity, so you can do whatever you want."
Money is earned endless.
As long as we grasp the source of the power industry, all downstream companies will be our sons.
Li Jing understands this truth very well.
Everyone was overjoyed instantly.
Since the Ulysses family has no intention of grabbing business, their opportunity to go further will come.
Terry, the owner of Beifeng Shipyard, said urgently, "Godfather, you said before that the generators would not be sold to private individuals. I would like to ask, can they be sold in batches?"
Li Jing knew what he was thinking. Aren't wind power machines a perfect match for ocean-going ships?
This was also part of Li Jing's plan, so he smiled and said, "Selling is not possible."
Terry's eyes darkened.
But Li Jing added, "But how about a joint venture? I will provide generators and installation and modification technology, and you will provide ships."
Terry instantly felt what it means to be full of twists and turns, and he nodded excitedly, "Of course, of course!"
Li Jing noticed that a businessman seemed a little confused, so he took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Jike, have you encountered any difficulties? If so, why don't you tell your friends?"
The businessman hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Dear Godfather, the electrical revolution you brought has allowed me to see many business opportunities, but,"
He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I am very short of funds recently. I am afraid that I will not be able to take the lead in this revolution."
One step behind means falling behind step by step, and it will be difficult to catch up again.
"Is that so? It's not a problem. I'm just here to tell you."
Li Jing smiled and said, "In addition to Ulysses Electric Power Company, I am also planning to establish a Ulysses Bank. If you encounter financial problems, you can go to Ulysses Bank for a loan. I will ask someone to I’ll give you a loan at the lowest interest rate.”
"Of course, if you don't want to borrow money and want to save money, I would welcome it."
We are all preparing to become a monopoly giant. How can we not develop the banking industry that is necessary for monopoly companies?
The businessman named Jike's eyes instantly lit up, "Really? Thank you so much, Lord Godfather!"
Others also thought deeply, who would think that the start-up capital is too small.
After everyone was sent away, Li Jing and Jackson Bartolomeo got on the carriage back to the manor.
On the carriage, Jackson asked, "Godfather, although the family's capital reserves are still abundant, I'm afraid they can't support a bank. If all the businessmen come to borrow money, the family's capital chain may not last long."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the money will come soon."
Jackson and Bartolomeo looked at each other, not understanding what Li Jing meant.
That afternoon, an explosive news was published in the Rogge Town Evening News, a regional newspaper covering Rogge Town and several surrounding islands.
The Ulysses family invented a high-efficiency generator and decided to build a power plant to electrify the entire Rogge Town, bringing all Rogge Town citizens into the electric age.
This is nothing, but this article is very provocative, emphasizing that electricity, which was originally only reserved for a very small number of powerful people, has now moved down the class and has become a product that can also be enjoyed by the so-called "emerging aristocrats", combining the enjoyment of electricity with social status. Hooked up.
Li Jing laughed out loud when she got the newspaper, "As expected of the number one reporter in Rogge Town, this article is very high-quality and exceeded my expectations."
The newspapers alone were enough to incite. What was even more explosive was that many of the upper echelons of Rogge Town said they had gone to Ulysses Electric Power Company to handle electricity business, and several big businessmen even logged in that night. The newspaper announced that they have begun preparing power supporting products including but not limited to refrigerator lights.
Then the entire Rogge Town exploded instantly.
"Have you heard? The Godfather messed with that electric company."
"Of course I heard about it. My boss told us tonight that he has already done it."
"So does our boss."
"It only takes 20 Baileys to handle it. It seems that few families in Rogge Town could afford it before, right? As expected of the Godfather."
"I'm going to go handle it. You guys should come with me."
"why?"
"Didn't you read the newspaper? It said that for the convenience of later laying lines, electricity will be given to areas with a lot of business first! If the number of households that have handled business is about the same, power will be turned on according to the average business time! Quickly seize and call a few households Together, let’s go together, and then we can use the electricity first!”
Such conversations happened in almost every corner of Rogue Town.
Ulysses Electric Company was open all night that night, and residents from all over Rogue Town came in an endless stream.
The president of the Tulum Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Tulum, the owner of Beifeng Shipyard, Mr. Terry, the patriarch of the Sikali family, Mr. Tang...
