Chapter 142: Gains and Losses
The launch of the IPO plan is like "one stone stirring up a thousand waves", which has caused a lot of waves in Lin'an, Beijing. At first, it was still calm on the surface, but the undercurrent was surging, and as the news spread, a large number of wealthy businessmen from other places who had eyeliner in the city arrived with real money and silver, and they could no longer cover it up.
The collective silence of the court was also interpreted as acquiescence, and gradually, what was originally a simple commercial act was dressed up in official colors, and all kinds of gossip flew around, making it difficult to argue whether it was true or false.
"What?"
In the political affairs hall, the three men who actually held the supreme power of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in one room, among them, Chen Yizhong, who had the least family background and was the least concerned about this matter, suddenly heard such news and was taken aback.
"Now it is rumored in the city that the imperial court will use the income of the city to guarantee at least 30% of the profit per share. This attracted everyone's eagerness, and they all contributed to the purchase, and a certain prime minister, there was no one to talk about, one hand to pay money and one hand to hand over shares, look, just arrived. ”
Liu Mengyan took out a piece of paper like a famous card from his sleeve cage and handed it to Wang Entropy at the top, Wang Entropy took it and passed it to Chen Yizhong after a brief glance, who looked at this piece of hard paper in surprise, it turned out to be painted.
However, a piece of paper in square inch size is larger than the official meeting, and the paper is not the same, the quality is hard and crisp, and the ink is fragrant. On the front is printed "Qionghai Commercial Road Shareholding Certificate", in the middle is written the words "One share of the principal of one thousand yuan", and below is the date of payment "July 20th of the first year of Deyou"
On the back, the columns are filled with the name of the shareholder, place of origin and other information, and then there is a large explanation of the rules, such as when the dividends can be redeemed, when the principal can be paid, and a special note is indicated that "the stock certificate is transferable", these words made Chen Yizhong's brows furrow deeply.
Wang Entropy glanced at him quietly, he got such a piece of paper yesterday, and the number is still among the top ten, if it weren't for the tendency of things to be aggressive, it would be impossible to discuss it here.
To tell the truth, if you take out a thousand real money and silver and exchange it for such a small piece of paper, anyone will mumble. But now in this world, how much money can a serious business make? The land and acres of shops can't be taken away, in case one day for the sake of the children and grandchildren's family, he has to do this, even if he is said to be greedy for money, he can't live for a few years.
"What do you think?"
After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Wang Entropy named Chen Yizhong.
"Those who spread rumors can be punished in their hearts."
Chen Yizhong shook his head helplessly, things were about to get out of control, but what could the imperial court do? No matter who is behind it, they can't make a big deal now, and the rumor-mongers are afraid that they also know this truth.
Do you want to stop it? That's even more impossible, those who dominate are all powerful families, and they must have been approved by the Empress Dowager. People just want to make some money in An'an, and they don't share the profits with the court, so it makes sense to say that they will break the sky.
What if you recognize it? Didn't it encourage this behavior, Chen Yizhong was unwilling in his heart, using the court as a cover, and in the end it was those people who benefited, and he had nothing to do for a while.
"If you don't defend yourself and let it go, it's better to admit it according to a certain statement. One is to reassure the people, and the other is that since the court has made a guarantee for this, it should also have a share, right? ”
Liu Mengyan's words made the eyes of the two of them light up, and if they can't stop it, they can only be sparse, this trick of "taking advantage of the situation" is only the only way, no matter how much the court can get in the end, it can be regarded as a serious income.
"I'm afraid that the officials have a voice." Chen Yizhong still has some concerns.
"Then let the officials neglect this policy, or put it in the group discussion at the court meeting, and see if they have any other way?"
Or Liumengyan's brain turned fast, Wang Entropy couldn't help nodding secretly, in this way, the three people in the room don't have to bear the responsibility, the matter is obvious, as long as most of the court officials are involved, what can the officials do? They can't beat a crowd fight.
As the saying goes, those who are single are not afraid of wearing shoes, and if the official is a member of the powerful, an important minister, or an official, it is all a table of prestige for the high wind and bright festival. But if you offend most of your colleagues at once, as long as you are not a lonely and ignorant person, no one will do this.
"It's a pity, things are not led by the imperial court."
Chen Yizhong shook his head regretfully, such a large sum of money, if it was used in state affairs, how much trouble could it solve.
Regarding his emotion, Wang Entropy and Liu Mengyan glanced at each other, both speechless, if it is really dominated by the imperial court, let's not say who would invest money so desperately, even if the money is collected, how much can it be used in the end? It's really a scholar's opinion.
Yang Xingqian didn't expect things to develop like this in the end, when the news came, he was busy in the front yard, and the conductors carried the neatly stacked blank warrants onto the cart.
Of course, these are all printed by Liu Yu in later generations, but they are ordinary color offset printing, and there is no need to do any anti-counterfeiting measures in this time and space, and no one can imitate them. Therefore, you only need to make a number, register a record, such a paper can be exchanged for real money, no wonder there is a whole team of forbidden troops who came with the car, and it is not an ordinary kind, it is all the imperial front class of the guard Ouchi.
The 1,000 copies sent before were sold out this morning, according to the face value, this is a million silver coins, Yang Xingqian had to sigh that the people in the capital have a lot of stupid money, this word is also often on the lips of the owner, at this moment, he felt that the description was very appropriate.
"Marquis Yu, please draw a charge here, after handing it over to the place, send this paper over, it has nothing to do with it, the brothers have worked hard all the way."
Another thousand copies, after the sergeants counted them carefully, Yang Xingqian handed a piece of paper similar to a receipt to the general led by him, the number was too large, and no one could afford to have an accident, so he had to be cautious.
Sending the ox cart and the escorted forbidden army out of the door, the direction of their march was towards the area outside the Hening Gate where the officials gathered, and the place where the certificate was handled was placed outside the lobby of the household department, and the silver money was directly put into the treasury like the Liu Mansion, which seemed to be the behavior of the government, which was also the reason why the rumors could spread.
Back in the front yard, he had time to study the news he got, in fact, it was very simple, several ministers in the political hall had a rare meeting, as for what they talked about, it was unknown.
In connection with the fact that there is no urgent matter recently, such a meeting seems unusual, and when analyzed in this way, the results speak for themselves, and it is easy to deduce how they will react, because the imperial court has few other options.
By now, the owner's plan is finally completed, and there is no need to worry about the affairs of the capital, it will naturally go down step by step according to the plan, and the rest depends on the situation in the south, Yang Xingqian sighed in that direction, not only because of the owner, but also for Zhang Qingyun, who went to Quanzhou.
The construction of Qiongzhou is still in full swing, Liu Yu is also busy with his feet, and he has to guide those new building materials, and there is no way to call his subordinates so stupid. As long as the traverser draws a sketch, his subordinates can make up for it by themselves, build guns, cannons, and warships, and he made a detailed instruction booklet, but it is still full of mistakes and omissions, and he can't wait to go into battle in person.
Fortunately, as long as the craftsmen comprehend, they will naturally teach others how to do it, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest of the things.
"The official is thirsty, so there is cold tea here, if you don't dislike it, use some."
Since restoring the identity of the Song people, Huang Erniang no longer hides her Jiangnan accent, if you don't look at people, this voice is still very good.
"It's so hard."
Liu Yu arched his hand at her, it wasn't that he was polite, people are now living in Fuya, who knows what Jiang Cai thinks in his heart?
The cool tea entered his throat, and a sense of happiness arose, Liu Yu unceremoniously drank two large bowls in a row, and then wiped his mouth unsatisfied, and Huang Erniang seemed to be very happy, and a smile bloomed on his face.
"You gathered all those women, didn't you?"
Liu Yu noticed that she didn't come alone, and everyone behind her was like her, carrying a basket covered by cloth in one hand and a teapot in the other.
"Well, they are all fellow slaves, and they have nothing to do at home, so they boiled some water, which can help somewhat."
This is Qiongzhou, Liu Yu thought about it and understood what she meant by her fellow villagers, Zhang Xuan's people in their village are indeed from the same house as her, and the accent is close to the same custom, no wonder they will listen to her.
"Your identity, it will take some time, don't worry."
"The slave is doing well here, thank you officials."
Huang Erniang said indifferently, although her face was a little dark, she looked like Zhou Zheng, no wonder she was unwilling to escape at the beginning.
"Erniang, something is unclear, can you tell me whether it was bitter at the beginning or here?"
Liu Yu's is actually a reference, people who can afford to raise a child daughter-in-law will naturally have no problems with food and clothing, and as for the abuse of the mother-in-law's family, in fact, many daughters-in-law have survived like this, and when they become mothers-in-law, they will come out, and then abuse their daughter-in-law is, this time and space is like this.
"Naturally, it's more bitter here, but if the slave lives freely, then it's not bitter."
is still a historical celebrity with high consciousness, Liu Yu secretly gave her a big thumbs up for her answer, and it can be regarded as a standard answer in later generations.
In this life, she may not become a great weaver, but she will definitely live a better life, and she doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for her, maybe this is called "there must be a gain if you lose".
"Do you still like weaving?"
"I dream of it." Huang Erniang's answer was unexpected.
"Then why haven't you ever done it?"
"The slaves can't weave the cloth sent by the officials anyway, so what do they do with it?"
Huang Erniang said with a wry smile, Liu Yu was almost choked by his own saliva, he didn't expect that it was this reason, the industrial products of later generations made the great weaver lose confidence, what is this?
When the women finished delivering this piece of water, she said goodbye and left, watching them chirp and laugh, it was a kind of heartfelt joy, Liu Yu couldn't help but shake his head, forget it, just let it be. R1058
