"Everyone! Our town is facing a very serious economic crisis! There were enough rats in the storeroom! Therefore, I have decided to start a development plan. First, we have to be clear about our goals. We need money! Then what kind of business could earn money?”
Takeda Corporation was speaking with confidence while the officials who had been summoned below were carefully recording the contents of the meeting!
"My answer is-salt!"
After hearing this answer, the officials below began to discuss. After all, they did not know how to make salt!
Takeda Soki waved his hand, signaling them to quiet down. Then, he continued,"Our town is next to the beach! I have a method here called the salt drying method! They could produce more and better salt in batches!”
The officials below started discussing again. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Takeda Soki, but because they thought that Takeda Soki was too selfless!
"Cough cough! I invented this method myself! So I can decide how to use it. There's no need to discuss it here! "If we can develop it, I believe we won't be short of money for a period of time in the future! But what about after we don't lack money? What do we need to do? That's the main reason why we gathered everyone here!”
Takeda always wanted to hear the thoughts of the officials of this era to see if they were qualified for their current positions. If they were not, Takeda Corporation wanted to dismiss them or directly make them invisible.
The officials below gradually quieted down. No one was willing to stand out and speak their thoughts directly. Who knew what the new mayor was thinking?
"Road repair!" An official stood up and said.”
Takeda nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed good to realize the importance of roads to a small town.
Takeda Soki said to the official,""Not bad! What else?"
"It's hard for me to think of it at the moment," the official said.”
Takeda Soki said," Sit down first. I'll say a few words. Although I have no objections to everyone, the people's livelihood is more important than the sky! Since you think that time is not enough, I will give you two days to come up with a plan! Let's forget about this matter for now!"
The officials below heaved a sigh of relief. Takeda Soki continued,"Since we want to build a saltworks, we need money! Now that the town's warehouse is out of money, I've come up with a plan.”
Hearing that Takeda Corporation had a way to solve the problem of money, the officials below were all excited. After all, only by investing would there be results. Now, there was not a single cent of salary for the officials. They had not been paid for a long time.
Takeda stroked his chin and said,"Actually, this method is to borrow money!"”
As soon as these words were said, the officials below discussed animatedly. After all, this had never happened since ancient times. Moreover, the reputation of the government among the people was not very good. It was very difficult to borrow money!
Takeda Soki raised his hand and waved."You can do it by using my reputation! Let me explain the plan first! We'll take out a portion of the salt pans 'net income as dividends to issue shares and sell them! Then we set a time to collect it at a price 10% higher than the original price. If he doesn't sell it, he can take a part of the dividends from the salt field every year.”
Takeda Corporation's words made the officials below confused. They had never heard of such an operation, let alone come into contact with it. These officials were quite conservative in their thinking.
They strictly adhered to the rules of being an official. As long as they did not seek merit but did not make mistakes, they were not like Takeda Soki who had great strength. If they could not continue being an official, they could directly return to their dojos and still have a high position. Everyone respected them.
Seeing that the officials below were discussing animatedly, Takeda Soki felt annoyed. Then, he slammed the table and stood up."Shut up!"
Takeda Soki's shout and the aura that erupted from his body shocked the officials below. They did not dare to act rashly.
"There's no such thing in the world, so can't we do it? I know what you're thinking! I will take full responsibility for this! You'd better not drag me down!”
With Takeda Soki's decision, the officials below could only follow the rules. A few days later, they relied on Takeda Soki's reputation to raise enough money in the town. Then, the next thing to do was to build the saltworks!
This wasn't a public project, so they couldn't levy corvee. However, if Takeda Soki forced them to do so, the people below wouldn't dare to refuse. However, Takeda Soki didn't do that.
The day before the start of work, Takeda Soki gathered all the officials again and said to them,""Your salary, your salary, the people's fat, the people's grease, the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!”
After saying that, Takeda Soki left the scene. He was only in charge of the plan, and the rest of the things would be handled by this group of people. If they could do it, it would be better for him to go home and be a salted fish. It would just fulfill his dream!
