Chapter 823: When Have You Ever Been Afraid of Impeachment?
In the early spring of Chang'an City, it was warm and cool.
As soon as it was dawn, Yan Liang got up.
Last night, Ma Zhou, the director of the General Police Department, personally approached him and asked him to rush to the Datang Trading Center with the elite forces of the Chang'an County Police Department early this morning.
Like him, Xu Wenqiang, director of the Wannian County Police Department, received the same task.
"Xie Xiancheng, why are you here too?"
When Yan Liang hurried to the gate of the Datang Trading Center, he actually found that his top boss, Xie Tianwu of Chang'an County, was actually there.
"Last night's "Chang'an Evening News", you all read it, right? On the way over, I stopped a transport carriage of Datang Daily, and you can take a look at the latest newspaper today. ”
Xie Tianwu did not directly answer Yan Liang's question, but handed him a copy of the "Datang Daily" that had just been released.
Obviously, as a county magistrate of Chang'an County, Xie Tianwu's perspective on the problem is much sharper than Yan Liang's.
For Yan Liang, Ma Zhou arranged for him to come to the Datang Trading Center to maintain order, and he came.
Yan Liang didn't even ask why.
However, for Xie Tianwu, he only relied on some rumors yesterday and the news on the "Chang'an Evening News" to know that something big would happen here in the Datang Trading Center today.
This is the gap in consciousness.
"The imperial court wants to control stock market trading? Will the Datang Stock Exchange be listed in three days? Crack down on fraudulent stock issuance and deception of ordinary people. ”
Yan Liang quickly glanced at the newspaper in his hand and found that everything he said was related to the Datang Trading Center in front of him.
No wonder Ma Zhou asked himself to bring someone over today to maintain order.
Although Yan Liang has a poor sense of smell in officialdom, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.
If these reports on "Datang Daily" are true, then the impact on stocks must be huge.
Judging from the past situation, "Datang Daily" has not published false news.
So ......
"Yan Liang, the police officer at the police station, there shouldn't be many people who buy stocks, right?"
At this time, Xie Tianwu was a little worried about the people who maintained order, and if he messed up first, it would be troublesome.
Even the sweeping lady in Chang'an City began to buy stocks, and someone from the Chang'an County Police Department bought it, which is normal.
In these years, there is no saying that you are not allowed to speculate in stocks when you go to work.
"This ...... Should...... Probably not much. ”
When Yan Liang said this, he was obviously a little weak-hearted.
You must know that in order to support the Chu Wangfu, he spent several months to buy the shares of several shareholders of the Pacific Company.
During this time, the stock was so hot that no one believed that the other police officers were indifferent.
"Whether there is or not, no matter how much it is, everyone must believe that His Royal Highness the King of Chu must have a way to solve this problem. But if someone drops the chain today, then there is no way to solve his problem. ”
When Xie Tianwu said this, his expression suddenly became unusually serious.
Yan Liang knew he was serious.
"Xie Xiancheng, don't worry, the Chang'an County Police Department will definitely not drop the chain!"
"With your words, I'm relieved." Xie Tianwu nodded, "You don't have to worry about me, hurry up and communicate with the police, there must be a lot of people coming to the Datang Trading Center here today, and the offices of various companies will definitely be very popular." Some people may even do something out of the ordinary when they are emotional, and you have to think about it in advance. ”
With years of experience as an official, Xie Tianwu has already guessed how the stocks of various companies will go today.
Especially for companies that are clearly following the herd to make money, it is almost inevitable that their stocks will fall.
……
"Brother Eldest Sun, early in the morning, where are you taking me to?"
Zheng Hai and Changsun Chong were riding in a luxury four-wheeled carriage together, and they had just left the Mingde Gate.
At this time, the Big Ben on the city gate had just struck the bell at eight o'clock in the morning.
Although for ordinary people, this is not too early.
However, for the children of the nobles, many of them are still in the gentle township.
Zheng Hai stayed in Tianxiang Pavilion all night yesterday, and was woken up by someone sent by Eldest Sun Chong this morning.
"Hehe, I'll take you to see a good show!"
Eldest Sun Chong's face was full of joy.
Yesterday, the eldest grandson Wuji returned home earlier than usual, and then told the eldest grandson Chong what happened in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the father and son also urgently arranged for someone to revise the front page headlines of the "Chang'an Evening News".
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, the eldest grandson's family is generally interested in stock trading in the Datang Trading Center, and there is almost no involvement.
So they can watch the show on the sidelines very calmly.
"Fun?" Zheng Hai showed a puzzled expression on his face, "The opera house has basically been performing the content of "Dream of Red Mansions" during this time, and I haven't heard of any good performances." Could it be that Miss Zixia has a new work again? ”
The opera house is now completely dominated by Zixia, the former Oiran is now standing at the top of the Tang entertainment circle again.
However, everyone knows that Zixia has a close relationship with the Chu Palace, and there are even scandals that she has a leg with Li Kuan, so no one dares to beat her idea.
This made Zixia's life a lot quieter.
"What kind of drama is "Dream of Red Mansions"? Left and right is just about some love and love, and what I'm going to take you to see today is the real show, a real show, ups and downs. ”
Changsun Chong apparently did not think that the stock market could be smoothly landed with the few measures prescribed by Li Kuan.
Even in order to embarrass Li Kuan, yesterday he sent people to spread the news everywhere, saying that the stock will fall sharply tomorrow, so that everyone can hurry up.
made a news that only the noble and wealthy merchants knew about it became a matter of the whole city that night.
"Huh?"
At this time, even Zheng Hai, who was not fully awake from a hangover, reacted.
Changsun Chong is obviously going to take himself to see a different play today.
"The hottest thing in Chang'an City during this time is stocks, which are made by Li Kuan. Now that this thing is going to be in trouble, Li Kuan thought that he could solve this problem with a few simple measures. Today, let's go to the Datang Trading Center together to see if Li Kuan is so powerful. ”
The eldest grandson Chong stopped selling Guanzi and began to explain to Zheng Hai.
Soon, the expression on Zheng Hai's face became richer.
"Stocks should be big...... Plunged? ”
"Right?"
Eldest Sun Chong looked at Zheng Hai very strangely.
As far as he knows, Zheng Hai didn't buy stocks.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! ”
Zheng Hai thought that he had just bought a thousand shares for the girl who had come to Tianxiang Pavilion yesterday, so he had the stay last night.
If this is in the blink of an eye, this stock worth a thousand yuan will become a pile of waste paper, will he be able to stay in Tianxiang Pavilion in the future?
I'm afraid that one is like a dream to be ruthless to himself, right?
She doesn't feel like she's teasing her, does she?
Zheng Hai felt a headache!
……
Aunt Liu is a hard-working person.
Whether it was windy or rainy, or the sun was shining, she couldn't stop appearing in the area she was responsible for in the West Market, cleaning.
However, today Butcher Zhang has not seen the shadow of Aunt Liu.
"Could it be that yesterday's rumors are true? Then Aunt Liu didn't even do any work today, and went directly to sell stocks? ”
Butcher Zhang looked anxiously at the more than half of the pork on the board that had not been sold.
He also wanted to go to the Datang Trading Center to have a look, and if anyone wanted it, he would sell all the stocks in his hand.
I've made a lot of money anyway.
However, it shouldn't matter if you think about it and wait for half a day, and then go after you sell the pork, right?
Butcher Zhang secretly comforted himself in his heart.
In this way, he was absent-minded and survived the most difficult half day of Zhenguan's seventeen years.
Then he called a rickshaw very luxuriously and went straight to the Datang Trading Center.
Before the rickshaw reached the entrance of the trading center, it was already unable to walk.
"Guest officer, the front is completely blocked, do you want to get off here, or continue on?" If you walk by yourself, I can give you a penny waiver. ”
The guy pulling the cart saw the crowded scene that stretched for nearly a mile, and his heart was also empty.
If the guest insists on sending him to the door of the Datang Trading Center by himself, it is estimated that he will not be able to pull down other jobs today.
That's a bit of a big price.
Just like the taxis of later generations, what drivers are most afraid of encountering is a big traffic jam, especially the kind that has not moved much for an hour or two.
"Give, five cents, no less! I don't blame you for this traffic jam! ”
Butcher Zhang gave the coachman five cents, and then got out of the car and walked forward.
As a butcher, Butcher Zhang's standard of living is good in this era.
Especially in the early years of Zhenguan, in Chang'an City, except for those noble and wealthy merchants, basically people like Butcher Zhang had the highest standard of living.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to taste meat every three or five times is not comparable to ordinary people.
No matter how bad it is, people can cook a few bone sticks and gnaw on the bit of meat on the bones.
"Two dollars, as long as two dollars a share, I will sell you these shares!"
"Two dollars? It has always been nine hundred texts, if you want it, I can sell it to you. ”
"Don't miss it when you pass by, sell stocks at ultra-low prices, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other."
When Butcher Zhang came to the vicinity of the Datang Trading Center, there was a lot of hustle and bustle.
All sorts of people are selling stocks.
However, there are many people who sell, but few people who buy.
"Butcher Zhang, why are you here now?"
At this time, Aunt Liu's familiar voice reached Butcher Zhang's ears, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.
In a relatively unfamiliar environment, it is so important to have a familiar person.
"I sold the pork, otherwise the pigs would have been killed, and if the meat is not sold fresh, it will not be able to sell for a price."
Butcher Zhang hurriedly squeezed to Aunt Liu's side, wanting to figure out the current situation as soon as possible.
"Hey, I said that you are smart and confused for a while, the weather is so cold now, and the pork will not spoil if you put it away, won't you come and sell the stock first? Let me tell you, for the stocks I bought, yesterday it was still more than three dollars a share, and by this morning, three dollars could not be sold.
That is, I thought that as long as I didn't lose money, it didn't matter if I made less money, so I sold half of it at the time of two or five. By the time I continued to look for other buyers, there was no one else asking for them. After that, I continued to reduce the price to two yuan, which was always 800 yuan, or even 500 yuan, and I couldn't sell it. ”
Although Aunt Liu's face had a heartbroken expression, it was more relaxed and relieved.
In the morning, half of the shares were sold at a relatively high price, and the cost of Aunt Liu was basically recovered.
The rest is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.
"This ...... So exaggerated? The stock in my hand was also worth more than three times yesterday, and according to you, isn't it always impossible to sell it for half and five hundred cents now? ”
Butcher Zhang's face turned pale, and his heart ached sharply.
My own stocks are not all bought when I have always made money, and when I sum it up, if I count the cost, I am about to solve the consistent zero five hundred dollars.
Now that I hear Aunt Liu say this, isn't I going to lose money?
"Hey, that's why I said you're smart and confused for a while, so what does it matter if the pork is sold half a day later. Even if the meat of your pig is broken, the loss is much smaller than the loss of your stock. ”
The relationship between Aunt Liu and Butcher Zhang is not bad, and she is very sympathetic when she sees that she has suffered such a big loss.
"That'...... So what do I do? ”
"I suggest that you hurry up and find someone from the management office of the Datang Trading Center, someone has just come out and announced that as long as the number of shares bought and sold does not exceed ten times, the shares can be sold to the management office of the Datang Trading Center at the original price of the consistent money.
If you sell it yourself, it is estimated that you will not be able to sell it for the same amount of money now. In fact, nine out of ten people in the entire trading center are stock sellers, and occasionally a few think that this is the best time to buy stocks, and they can't eat much of the goods. ”
Aunt Liu's words finally made Butcher Zhang breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, in this way, your own losses will not be so great.
At least you can get back the capital of ten yuan, and the rest can only be regarded as buying lessons.
"Datang Trading Center Management Office? Is that the one? ”
"That's right, while many people are still lucky, thinking that their shares can be sold at a higher price than usual, so there is no one on the management side. If you go later, maybe the situation will change again. ”
As soon as Aunt Liu's words landed, Butcher Zhang squeezed towards the crowd.
At this time, minimizing his own losses is what Butcher Zhang is most concerned about.
……
In the office of the Western Trading Company, Hou Bao looked at the crowded offices of the various "companies" around him with a little schadenfreude.
Since most of the shares of the Western trading company were purchased and sold by Lao Ren, Hou Bao did not encounter much trouble today.
Because in order to obtain high returns, Lao Ren only turned his left hand to his right hand and poured a small part of the shares of the Western trading company, and very few of them flowed into the hands of others.
However, before he could start looking for a pick-up man, a scene like today's one appeared.
"Hou Langjun, you can do it, I won't open a high price, as long as you buy these stocks in my hands at the original price, I will be satisfied."
Although Lao Ren moved quickly yesterday, he also transferred less than one percent of the stocks.
Everything else was smashed in his hands.
Although that one percent of the stock can directly recover a lot of costs.
However, if Hou Bao does not agree to buy back the shares at the original price, Lao Ren will still lose all his money.
"Lao Ren, business is business, friendship is friendship. I know that your proprietor Peng Zhiyun hugged the thigh of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, but our Hou family is not afraid of anyone. I didn't force you to buy the shares of this Western trading company, why didn't I see you come over and ask me to buy back at the original price when the price went up? Today the price has fallen, you just talk to me about this, are you being stupid? Or do you think the Hou family is bullying? ”
How could Hou Bao agree to Lao Ren's request?
Isn't this spitting out the meat that has been eaten?
No one is happy to change it.
"Hou Langjun, the imperial court allowed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to set up the Datang Stock Exchange, and all the company's shares recently, if they violate the rules, the illegal benefits obtained from the sale of stocks will be recovered by the stock exchange. Aren't you afraid that it will be too stiff when the time comes, and I'll go directly to the management office to sue you for violations? ”
Lao Ren saw that more than 10,000 shares of stocks in his hand were about to turn into waste paper, and he was also very anxious.
If it was usual, he would never talk to Hou Junji's righteous son like this.
"Hmph, you think you're literate? I have read the article on the "Datang Daily" several times, and our Western trading company is not like some companies that take advantage of hot spots, there is nothing. If you go to Weishui Wharf to take a look, our Western trading company has a real fleet, and this year it will officially enter the Western Ocean to start trade.
Not only is the Western trading company not the target of the Datang Stock Exchange, on the contrary, we are a template. No company His Royal Highness King Chu hits, it is impossible to hit me. ”
Hou Bao's words left the old man speechless.
Everyone is a person who has studied the latest policy, whether Hou Bao has violated the rules or not, in fact, the old man also knows it in his heart.
However, it is clear that the price of things has been reduced, and I have suffered losses, so I want to return it.
This is the same as buying a house in later generations, the price of housing has risen, and there will definitely be no one who is clamoring to ask the developer to return it to him.
However, when housing prices fall, especially in the same neighborhood, the price of the second phase is several percent lower than that of the first phase, trouble is almost inevitable.
Even if everyone knows that from the perspective of contract law, they are the party who is at fault.
But what to do, or what to do.
The ass determines the head, not only for officials, but also for ordinary people.
"Hou Langjun, half, as long as you sell all the shares in my hand back to you at half the price of the issue price. I know that the Western Trading Company still did some practical things, and did not directly take the money earned from selling stocks to squander it in the Qinglou. However, you also have pity on me, almost all of the shares of the Western Trading Company are bought by me, and no one buys them no matter how much the price is lowered at the moment, I ...... I really can't help it. ”
Lao Ren was able to bend and stretch, but seeing that it was ineffective, he began to change his negotiation ideas.
However, who is not an "actor"?
"Old Ren, I'm just doing things for my father-in-law. At the moment, not to mention the shares of our Western trading companies, even the shares of the Eastern Pacific Company are already on the verge of falling to their usual money. You're asking me to buy back at half price now, but what am I buying back these shares for? If you sell it again, you may not be able to sell it for 100 yuan a share. ”
In this way, the two of them turned on the rip-off mode.
However, this is a battle whose outcome is already doomed.
……
"Brother Eldest Sun, is this what you said was a good show?" Zheng Hai looked at the crowd of people in front of him, and said a little lost, "Although many people sell stocks here, there are also a lot of quarrels; But the entire Datang Trading Center is full of police from Chang'an County and Wannian County, and no one dares to cause trouble at will. ”
"Li Kuan's pursuit of the illegal gains of various companies is simply not so fast and smooth, I originally thought that the people would not be able to get the silver, and they would definitely make trouble. But he didn't expect Li Kuan to let Wang Fugui transport a batch of coins directly from the Tang Royal Bank, and directly paid in advance. ”
After observing the Datang Trading Center all morning, Changsun Chong didn't wait for the riot he was expecting, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At this time, he remembered that the Chu Wangfu was the real rich family of the Tang Dynasty.
The stock trading of dozens of companies is really difficult for the Chu Wangfu.
"The stock is something that Li Kuan made, and he will definitely not be able to escape responsibility if something happens. So even if he loses some money, he will control the situation. In the policy of the Datang Stock Exchange, the investment of ordinary people is actually protected, so that although those people have also lost their money, at least they have not lost their money. Falling together, they couldn't hold any grudges against the Chu Palace. ”
Zheng Hai's stay in the Datang Trading Center for half a day was not in vain.
He was well-informed, and quickly figured out today's situation.
"Hey, a lot of stocks that were sold for three or four dollars yesterday can't be sold for three or four hundred yuan today. With such a drastic price change, nothing happened. The most unpleasant thing is that the stock of the East Pacific Company, which fell from more than five dollars yesterday to the usual more than one dollar in the morning, and then rose back to more than two dollars, which is really puzzling. ”
"There's nothing hard to understand. As soon as someone approached the office of the East Pacific Company to sell the shares, they bought them all back at the usual price. Moreover, they also let out the wind, they buy back as many people as they sell stocks. As a result, the stock price of East Pacific Company immediately stopped falling, and some people even began to raise prices again. ”
Zheng Hai's mentality has been adjusted now, but he is no longer so cynical.
"Hmph, although Li Kuan seems to have handled it very well, it is a fact that there are a group of people who have lost all their money. When the time comes, the group of imperial historians in the Yushitai will definitely have a move. ”
Changsun Chong thought in his heart whether to find a few imperial historians to impeach Li Kuan, but after thinking about it, he felt that if he didn't look for it, these imperial historians would also make a move, so it was better to just watch the excitement.
"That's what I said, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu, when have you ever been afraid of impeachment?"
Eldest Sun Chong: ......
