Chapter 152: Employee Stock Ownership and Bonus Distribution

ning a precedent for all future generations!...Result.She lost!And now, the Liu family entrusts their wealth to Yang Lin. How similar this is!A landowner in a village can make wise choices.And what ab..."Master, you can't go adventuring!"

"Yes, if this matter can't be resolved, then what can we do We'll just have to make do. No matter what, we can't let you go to your death!"

"That's right, each village only has six or seven people. Although everyone is unwilling, they are forced, and someone will always go."

People were chattering and gossiping, yet they remained unaware that the matter of sending conscripts to their deaths had already been resolved.

Yang Lin smiled and then told Yu Zhong's plan.

"Those four guests are all very influential. Since they're willing to help, the person going won't die."

"So everyone can rest assured, this time I'm bringing 500 people to Suizhou, just for training, there will be no danger."

Hearing Yang Lin say this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

As for why Yang Lin had to go, they didn't think about it that much.

Yang Lin continued, "The journey to Suizhou will take at least ten days, round trip a month. The reason I called everyone here is to arrange matters for the workshops while I'm away."

Everyone immediately grew serious, sat up straight, and listened intently.

"First, the guard detail, how many personnel do we have now"

Yang Lin looked at Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang immediately replied, "The guard team currently has fifty people. Excluding those on missions outside the village, there are only twenty-six in the village."

Yang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Select twenty people to be squad leaders. Let them go to the outlying villages to recruit people. Each person recruits ten people, who will become members of their own squads."

"You personally recruit three hundred people. Tonight, they must all be assembled!"

In two days, I'll be leaving. He doesn't have much time to prepare.

"Yes!" Qin Shuang nodded hurriedly.

"Also, this time the team of five hundred will be led by Brother Zhong. Lao Qin, you'll lead twenty people to stay behind and guard the village. During this period, daily patrols and training must not be neglected. I leave everything in the village to you!"

Qin Shuang hurriedly nodded, feeling the pressure on her, her face becoming even more serious.

"The Foundry."

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, Zhao Shunzi immediately focused her attention.

"Shunzi Shu, about the kind of metal I asked you to research yesterday, it's not something that can be achieved in a day. So there's no need to rush. The most important thing right now is to build a batch of weapons first, enough to equip these 500 people! The main force will leave the day after tomorrow morning!"

"Huh" Zhao Shunzi was astonished, "Master, I'm afraid this isn't enough time!"

The smelter currently has one steel furnace and one iron furnace. Although theoretically capable of producing 2,000 jin per day, this would only be possible once everything is running smoothly.

Currently, the speed of steel or iron smelting is adequate, but the time spent making molds is far too slow!

This is easy. Five hundred pieces of weaponry, excluding twenty crossbows, will all be spearheads! Just attach them to a wooden shaft, and you'll have spears!

"Uncle Wang, I'll leave the matter of the spears and staffs to you. Whether it's purchasing them or going up the mountain to chop them down, make sure nothing is delayed!"

Wang Guili readily nodded.

Zhao Shunzi thought for a moment, and nodded.

He just calculated that it would take two days to create five hundred other weapons, which definitely wouldn't be enough.

But only making gun heads, at their current rate, is enough.

"I still have two drawings left, and the parts on them need to be built by tonight! If there's time, I'll build two more sets!"

Yang Lin gave Zhao Shunzi two drawings.

Zhao Shunzi looked at those strange parts on the table and sighed.

He had to make five hundred gunheads and all these strange, bizarre parts. It was incredibly stressful, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the challenge.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shunzi Uncle. I know this will be busy, but these parts are very important!" Zhao Shunzi gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's okay, I'll arrange it when I go back."

"Jǐnggē."

Yang Lin passed two drawings to Du Jing.

"This is also very important. The design institute should put down all their current work and focus all their efforts on creating this, and have it finished before tonight! The more we create, the better!"

Du Jing took it and looked at it, agreeing readily.

"

Don't worry!

"

The structure on the drawing is not complicated. With the current manpower at the design institute, it could be created within a day.

Then there is this.

Yang Lin again took out a blueprint from his sleeve and handed it to Du Jing.

Du Jing was suddenly stunned.

"This is..."

Yang Lin said, "There are three sets of drawings inside. One is a concept and scheme for woodblock printing, one is a water-powered saw system, and one is a toy called a paper kite. These will serve as the recent research directions of the design institute."

Listening to Yang Lin's words and looking at those drawings, Du Jing's eyes were shining with excitement!

Then, Yang Lin explained some development issues to the other workshops.

Coal mining, quarrying, road construction, brick kilns, cement factories, tofu workshops, house building, papermaking... Different industries have different requirements from Yanglin.

"And most importantly, I plan to establish a share dividend system!"

Everyone was taken aback and didn't understand what Yang Lin meant.

In simple terms, everyone can invest their idle money in my industries and become the owner of these industries.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.

Can someone who just does the work also be the boss

How is that possible!

They couldn't have imagined it!

Because everyone's investment proportion is small, they don't actually have management rights, but they can receive dividends based on profits.

"Currently, we only have two profitable industries: tofu and paper making."

For example, a paper mill, we valued it at one thousand taels of silver! If Uncle Wang wants to invest ten taels of silver in the paper mill, then he will own one percent of the shares.

That is to say, from now on, whenever the paper mill makes a profit of one hundred taels of silver, Wang Guishu will receive one tael, and this will continue forever! If the paper mill closes down someday, then one percent of the value of the paper mill at the time of closure will also be given to Wang Guishu.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

As everyone knows, both tofu and papermaking, although not very profitable now, are definitely businesses that make money!

Yang Lin gave everyone the opportunity to buy shares, basically just giving them money!

As for Yang Lin, this was also unavoidable.

As these industries grow larger and larger, and lack management talent, various problems will inevitably emerge.

In this situation, employee stock ownership is the best option.

Every employee who holds shares is not only an employee but also a shareholder entitled to dividends. As such, these small shareholders will naturally develop a sense of ownership and spontaneously safeguard their business, effectively preventing chaos caused by mismanagement.

Yang Lin continued, "Of course, not everyone can become a shareholder. Besides being the head of a workshop, you must have worked in the workshop for at least half a year to be eligible to become a shareholder!"

At this moment, everyone was excited!

Yang Lin's reason for dropping this bombshell today is actually…edicine was in the hands of a poor boy in the village!Knowing the ins and outs of the situation, Liu Chong readily agreed to Liu Liang and set off for Jianghe County. He planned to obtain the formula...
