Chapter 44: Thousands of Gold to Buy Horse Bones

It turns out that the real purpose is not to drink!

Faced with the governor's straightforward remarks, County Lord Yin sighed inwardly.

"According to the rules, we need to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss this. However, 50% of the Internet shares are in the hands of the county lord. As long as the county lord agrees, I have no objection. We can just hold a shareholders' meeting and go through the process."

Gu Yunli lightly kicked the ball to the county lady.

"The Internet is greatly strengthened by the participation of Zhoujun. I am overjoyed and would like to offer 30% of my shares to Zhoujun."

The county lord was unwilling to give up the majority of the shares. Before he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yunli and said:

"I wonder how much Mr. Gu is willing to pay?"

Gu Yunli was immediately disgusted when he heard this. Is it fun to harm others without benefiting yourself?

What’s more, I am the master of the Internet?
Are you resentful of me for proposing the shareholder access system?
Or should I be generous to others and try to please the governor?

Forget it, there is no point in keeping this idiot, I'll find an opportunity to kick him out of the shareholders' meeting.

"Since the county lord is so generous, I can't afford to be left behind. I have 20% of the shares, so I will give 10% to the state lord."

Gu Yunli said lightly.

"Good! Mr. Gu is indeed very righteous."

The county lord praised him, and he felt relieved immediately. Then he remembered something else: "Who holds the remaining 30% of the Internet shares?"

Gu Yunli bowed to the Duke and said, "Since the Duke has decided to invest in the Internet, I think it is better to hold a shareholders' meeting today to complete the process. The Duke will meet the remaining shareholders soon."

Zhou Jun nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's do as you wish!"

……

……

While everyone was chatting and laughing in the main hall of Yong County City God;

At this time, the land gods outside the hall were also arguing endlessly.

Suddenly, the ring-holding beast head on the main hall gate opened its eyes and said in a loud voice: "The governor's decree announces that Liujiagou Land God Zhuang Renju is here to see you!"

In the crowd, Duke Zhuang was shocked when he heard this. Why did he suddenly summon him to the court? Could it be that he was held jointly responsible because he had stepped forward?

When he was worried, he looked up and around, and all the local gods around him gave him meaningful looks.

There is worry; there is ridicule; and there is also a bit of grief.

Duke Zhuang took a deep breath, quickly tidied his appearance, and walked into the main hall under the gaze of everyone.

The hall is deep and secluded.

Without the protection of his colleagues, Lord Zhuang Bo walked into the hall alone, feeling as if he were standing on the edge of a cold abyss and trembling with fear.

Soon, he walked to the front of the hall, clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "I am Zhuang Renju, the landowner of Liujiagou, and I pay my respects to the governor and county lord."

"Well, get up!" Zhou Jun said lightly.

"Uncle Gu, Zhuang Renju is also an Internet shareholder?" The county lady looked incredulous.

"That's right." Gu Yunli chuckled.

Zhuang Renju was shocked when he heard this.

Internet shareholders…what does this mean?
Before he could figure it out, hurried footsteps were heard in the hall again, and he saw Li Sigong of the Yin and Yang Department and He Shigong, the Inspector, coming in a hurry.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Gu Yunli said:

"The reason why I am convening the three shareholders today is because the Internet is about to implement a shareholder access system. At the same time, I am convening a shareholders' meeting to discuss the change of shareholders. Here are the specific contents. Please review them."

Gu Yunli said this and handed over three jade scepters.

Zhuang Renju took it in a daze, and when his mind swept over the jade scepter, he was immediately shaken.

He is not surprised by the so-called shareholder access system of the Internet.

Rather, I was shocked that... he had become an Internet shareholder out of nowhere? !

It holds 10% of the shares.

These shares are exactly the same as those of Mr. Gu. How, how is this possible?

He subconsciously looked at Gu Yunli, who smiled slightly in return. That smile seemed to tell him not to worry.

"Today, the Internet is fortunate to have the Duke join us. This is also a blessing for us. This official and Mr. Gu have each donated part of their shares to the Duke. What do you three think?"

The county lord started his performance again.

Li Sigong and He Shigong were both experienced people. They understood the emperor's intention immediately and immediately flattered him, offering half of their shares.

Zhuang Renju glanced at Gu Yunli and also offered half of his shares.

At this point, Zhoujun’s equity expanded to 55%, making it a veritable major shareholder in the Internet industry.

After everyone signed the contract, they immediately discussed the issue of subsidizing incense offerings in various states and counties.

Of course, it was mainly the governors and county governors who discussed this.

Gu Yunli and others attended the trial.

When Zhou Jun became the major shareholder of the Internet company, he waved his hand and reduced the 70% subsidy originally envisioned by Gu Yunli to 30%.

In other words, the Internet will only take out 30% of its profits as subsidies to states and counties.

As for how to talk?
That is the state monarch’s business.

It's true that the butt determines the head... Gu Yunli shook his head secretly after hearing this.

He could understand this.

After all, it is the money that falls into your own pocket. Who wouldn’t feel pain when you take it out again?

The reason why he acted so generously was that he used 90% of the donations as operating costs.

As for the remaining 10%, it naturally doesn’t matter how everyone divides it.

By the way, the current situation is exactly what he wants. With the governor bearing the pressure from all sides, it is good for him to be a "worker".

After the matter was settled, the governor left the hall immediately and announced to the public that 30% of the incense and tribute taxes for each land god would be exempted, and the remaining share would be made up by the Internet.

As soon as the news came out, all the land gods cheered.

Thoreau Wu Bogong was so excited that his eyes turned red and he loudly called on the governor to show mercy.

Even the "conservatives" were delighted, as this result was undoubtedly the best at the moment.

The prince, who had gained both fame and fortune, returned to the palace with satisfaction.

Gu Yunli had no intention of staying, so he turned around and left.

However, before he had gone far, Zhuang Renju caught up with him and respectfully presented him with one-sixth copy of the equity contract.

"Zhuang has received the dividends from Master Gu, how can I be greedy? This is to be returned to the original owner, I hope Master Gu will accept it."

Gu Yunli looked at the contract in front of him and said with a smile:

"Today in front of the palace, Lord Zhuang spoke for justice, so he deserves this gift. Please accept it!"

Zhuang Renju was startled and was about to speak again when Gu Yunli patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

Not long after, several land gods who were on good terms with him came over. Among them, the land god from Nanpo Township asked curiously:
"Brother Zhuang just entered the palace, what happened?"

Zhuang Renju's face was full of complexities: "This is a long story, let me explain it in detail later."

The local gods nodded and were about to leave together when they saw the inspector approaching with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang is really a hermit in the court. I didn't expect that he is also a shareholder of the Internet. I am so sorry!"

All the land gods were shocked when they heard this.

He looked at Zhuang Renju with disbelief.

Zhuang Renju said with a face full of shame: "Why do you praise me so much? I am ashamed to say that I only found out about my equity after I entered the palace."

The inspector was surprised when he heard this: "There is such a thing?"

Zhuang Renju said, "To be honest with you, I was just speaking up for justice in the palace, but I didn't expect to receive such a thank you gift from Gu Bogong. I feel ashamed to accept it!"

It would have been better if this had not been said. After it was said, everyone became even more surprised, and even felt it was absurd.

"Lord Zhuang means that the shares in your hands were just gifted to you by Lord Gu?" the inspector confirmed.
