Datang Trading Center is now a commercial center no worse than the West Market.

Although the flow of people in the trading center is not as good as that of the West Market, most of the people who come here are merchants, and they are more engaged in wholesale business.

To some extent, this is Datang's largest wholesale center for goods.

Today, one of the best shops next to the entrance of the Datang Trading Center is selling something that no one has ever heard of.

"Shopkeeper Wang, isn't this just a piece of paper? I spent a thousand silver coins, so I don't just buy such a thing. Can the shares of the East Pacific Company you are talking about really appreciate? ”

Zhou Benqiang looked at the thing in his hand that was called an equity certificate with a little confusion.

As the first batch of profiteers of Datang Trading Center, Zhou Benqiang still supports Wang Fugui's work very much.

At the beginning, if it weren't for the Datang Trading Center, the two thousand brightly colored silk he transported from Shu would have been smashed in his hands.

One step forward is a cliff, and one step back is bankruptcy.

Zhou Benqiang, who was desperate, even expected his miserable second half of his life.

As a result, after a few days of luck at the Datang Trading Center, the result was that the batch of silk was unexpectedly sold at a high price.

At this time, Zhou Benqiang immediately put his focus on the Datang Trading Center.

Today, he is one of the top silk merchants here, and his net worth has already increased several times compared to back then.

Therefore, after Wang Fugui launched the shares of East Pacific Company in the Datang Trading Center, he immediately bought it.

And as soon as you make a move, you will buy according to the maximum amount that an individual can buy.

Of course, after paying the money and getting the stock certificate, he finally began to answer questions from Wang Fugui.

Before you buy it, if you ask too much, it seems that you have no confidence in His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

So Zhou Benqiang bought it almost without saying a word.

However, when you ask questions after you've bought it, it's a different story.

At this time, Wang Fugui also had the patience to explain to him.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I have to remind you to put this equity certificate away. Now you have only paid a thousand silver coins to buy it, and maybe in ten or eight years, when you pass it on to your son, he will be a piece of paper worth tens of thousands of yuan. ”

Wang Fugui said this, although he himself didn't believe it.

However, Li Kuan Li Kuan said that in the future, the value of the East Pacific Company could reach millions, or even tens of millions, so he was no longer entangled.

"Shopkeeper Wang, don't say tens of thousands, as long as he can become two thousand in a few years, I will be thankful. Now the loan interest of Datang Royal Money is five to ten points a year, as long as this thousand guan can become two thousand guan in a few years, I can even earn it. ”

Zhou Benqiang was obviously joking with Wang Fugui.

Tens of thousands?

That's a few thousand percent of the revenue.

How can there be such a good thing in this world?

If the shares of East Pacific are so popular, why haven't we seen much sold in a day today?

That is, as the largest merchants in the Datang Trading Center, he came out to be a trust, so as not to make the scene too ugly.

"If your request is only 2,000 yuan, then you can rest assured. As long as the 'Evil Words Confuse the Crowd Yang Benman' comes back from the Americas, your certificate will be worth at least two thousand yuan. You must know that eighty percent of the fleet's income belongs to the company, and only two percent is used to reward the crew. ”

Wang Fugui also went to Guanshishan Academy to listen to Li Kuan's lecture, and he was naturally clear about the value of those high-yield crops in the Americas.

Although if the acquirer is the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy, it will feel like putting money from the left hand to the right hand, but for East Pacific Company, it is a real benefit.

"Accept your good words, I'll put away this equity certificate when I go back, and I'll wait for him to appreciate when he falls asleep!"

After Zhou Benqiang finished speaking, he left the office of the East Pacific Company.

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Benman was pondering the introduction of the East Pacific Company in the "Datang Daily" word by word.

"Lang Jun, I went to the Datang Trading Center to see that the East Pacific Company was indeed established in a conspicuous position, and Wang Fugui also personally sat in the town, where he promoted and sold the company's shares."

Yang Dong walked over briskly from outside the door.

Obviously, he was ordered to inquire about it.

This is also one of the characteristics of Yang Benman's work, no matter what decision is made, he will collect all kinds of situations as much as possible, and then determine whether to invest or not after analysis.

Clearly, he is now considering whether to buy shares in East Pacific.

In fact, there are many people in Chang'an City who are thinking about this issue.

After all, "Datang Daily" said very clearly, as long as you have consistent money, you can buy the shares of a shareholder, Pacific Company.

"So, whether it is the merchants or the people of Chang'an City, they are still waiting?"

Yang Benman tapped his index finger lightly on the table, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

"Yes, I watched there for half an hour, and except for a few shopkeepers from the trading center, everyone else bought very little. This time, they took out 100,000 shares of shares, and stipulated that each person could only buy a maximum of 1,000 shares.

Now, it seems that this is not the case at all. After all, it is still a question mark whether the fleet can reach the Americas smoothly. Even if you go to the Americas, from the globe, the area of the Americas is much larger than the area of our entire Datang, and it is difficult to say whether you can find corn, potatoes or sweet potatoes.

And even if there will be some savages or barbarians there, as soon as the fleet lands, it is possible that not only will they not find what they want, but they will suffer heavy losses. So everyone is still waiting and seeing, not knowing whether this investment is cost-effective or not. ”

Yang Dong has been with Yang Benman for so long, so he naturally has some knowledge, and he has more vision than the ordinary people of Chang'an.

However, it is only a few points more.

"I naturally know this, if it weren't for so many uncertain factors, would His Royal Highness the King of Chu still need to take out the shares of the East Pacific Company and sell them for money? To put it bluntly, he's also mitigating risk. It's like a partnership between several people to do business, although when they make money, they share it with several people, but when they lose money, they also bear it by several people. ”

In Yang Benman's view, Li Kuan will make such a share transaction, and the purpose is very clear.

In fact, the vast majority of people believe that Li Kuan is doing this to reduce risk.

"Lang Jun, when I just came back, I found that there were a lot of unfamiliar faces at the door. I thought about it, and it's likely that many people are watching your actions. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because of the owner's successful investment in Workshop City, it has become a classic case in the business district of Chang'an City. It is said that the Business School of Guanshishan Academy even took your case as a practical explanation of their teaching. So don't look at many people who look down on our Yang family on the surface, but they are envious in their hearts. Now, there is a major investment opportunity in front of everyone, whether to sell or not, many people are watching you. ”

Yang Dong's statement made Yang Ben full of refreshment.

However, after thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

Indeed, he is now a vane in the investment circle in Chang'an City.

In the past few years, the Yang family's investment seems to have never failed.

"Datang Daily said that there are a total of 200,000 shares of East Pacific Company, and now only half of them are being sold, and the remaining half is in whose hands, do you know?"

Yang Benman was not carried away by Yang Dong's surprise point, but continued to analyze very calmly.

"Aren't the remaining half all from the Chu Palace?"

"Who told you that it was all from the Chu Palace?"

Yang Dong: ......

At this time, Yang Dong found that no matter what it was, there was no mention of the other fifty percent of the shares of the East Pacific Company, which was in whose hands.

"Lang Jun, who do you think will directly affect the value of the remaining shares?"

"Of course! If these fifty percent of the shares are in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, then we really have to think about whether we want to buy the shares of the East Pacific Company. But if part of these fifty percent of the shares is in the hands of His Majesty or Fang Xiang and others, then we have to hurry up, and there may be nothing for us to do if it is too late. ”

After Yang Benman said this, he continued to read the content of "Datang Daily".

"The imperial court is preparing to expand the water division?"

In a small corner, Yang Benman noticed a piece of news the size of a tofu block.

"Lang Jun, the sailors were basically in the city and the governor's mansion before, and now that the imperial court has agreed to expand the sailors, will it have anything to do with going to sea next month?"

"Whether it has anything to do or not, only His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Chu know. However, there is such a news, at least it shows that the imperial court still has a supportive attitude towards the matter of going to sea. In addition, all the academies in Chang'an City are organizing people to join the Guanshishan Academy on the exploration tour of the Americas, so I don't think there is any need to hesitate. ”

When you think about it, you act.

Since Yang Benman felt that buying shares of the East Pacific Company seemed to be a risky investment, he immediately asked Yang Dong to prepare thousands of silver tickets, and then got into his own luxury four-wheeled carriage and went straight to the Datang Trading Center.

As for the limit of one person to buy 1,000 shares, as long as you want to buy it, it is not a problem at all.

……

He Qinlao's luck this year is not very good.

almost took out the coffin, just to invest in a few houses in Guiyifang, but the result was nothing.

He was anxious to win some money and come back, but he stared at Yang Benman desperately during this time, just to see if he could take a ride.

It stands to reason that with the relationship between He Qinlao and Yang Benman, if he speaks, Yang Benman will also bring him with him when he has any investment moves.

However, He Qinlao was embarrassed to do so.

The most important thing is that He Qinlao couldn't make up his mind to follow Yang Benman when he took the initiative to invite him to invest.

On the contrary, through his own private understanding, he grasped that Yang Benman was indeed making new investments, and He Qinhard could strengthen his determination to follow the trend.

After all, he can't afford to lose.

If you lose, you can only sell your property to pay off your debts.

"Second uncle, you hurriedly called me back today, is there something going on at home?"

He Changyi looked at He Qinlao with a little confusion.

As a student of the School of Economics, He Changyi usually rarely goes home after all.

Because every weekend, the college will invite some people to come and give lectures, or the content of the scriptures, or business affairs, or some military affairs.

Anyway, there are all kinds of people, and almost every day you can hear some people's lectures at Guanshishan Academy.

He attends a lecture almost every day, and he sees it as a good way to quickly improve his insights.

In fact, the results are really good.

"Chang Yi, the second uncle has encountered a problem today, I want to hear your opinion!"

He Qinlao exhaled, and still shared his concerns with He Changyi.

"You know, the second uncle lost a lot of money in Guiyifang this year. I regret not following your advice to buy a house in Workshop City. A lot of people are talking about the East Pacific company share purchase now, you should have heard about it, right? ”

"Second uncle, although I am studying in a madrasal college, I am not the kind of nerd who doesn't listen to anything outside the window. Naturally, I've heard about such a big thing. How? Second uncle, are you ready to buy their shares? ”

Although He Changyi is not very interested in business things, there are many people in Guanshishan Academy who are interested in these things, and He Changyi has a lot of information under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"That's right! Now that my family has scraped together a lot of money, I should be able to scrape together 500 yuan, and I am going to use all this 500 yuan to buy shares of the East Pacific Company. But whether this investment is the right investment or not, I want to hear your advice. ”

"Second Uncle, on what basis did you decide to buy their shares?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I saw that Yang Benman went to the Datang Trading Center today to buy their shares, so I want to buy them too." However, our family can't afford to fail again, so the second uncle also wants to hear your advice. After all, you are studying in Guanshishan Academy, and there is a lot of news related to the Chu Palace, which is more than ordinary people need to know. ”

He Qinlao did not pretend to break the cow in front of He Changyi, but explained the situation to him very directly.

"Well, there are a lot of people in the academy discussing it today, and most of them tend to think that they can buy some. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already described the situation in the Americas so specifically, it is unlikely to be fake. Now it is nothing more than whether the 'Evil Rumors Confuse the Crowd Yang Benman' can successfully reach the Americas in one go and bring back high-yield crop seeds. ”

This kind of stock buying and selling is a new event, and most people are still waiting to see it.

Even people like Yang Benman have just made a move, let alone others.

This is like buying a house, although many people think that the price of housing may be going to rise, but there are still a few who can buy it immediately.

Most people are procrastinating, and it will take months, or even years, to really make a move.

It turned out that he had worked in vain in the past few years.

"So, you're supporting me to buy it?"

"Second uncle, I think you can go and buy a hundred guan first, and then wait and see. If you don't buy anything, you don't have to buy it again. But if a lot of people start to snap up, then you have to be decisive. ”

He Changyi's words strengthened He Qin's confidence.

Besides, now he doesn't have to spend 500 yuan in desperation, just buy 100 yuan first, he still doesn't have so much pressure.

"Good! Then we will call a rickshaw directly outside the door and go to the Datang Trading Center in a while! ”

Although He Qinlao is the imperial history of the palace, his level is half a level higher than Yang Benman.

However, he has always been very honest as an official.

However, if an official like Yushi is really incorruptible, he really has no other income.

In fact, you just want to collect money, and there are not many ways.

After all, you are just a royal history, and ordinary people can't ask for you.

Ordinary businessmen don't need to ask you, the only ones who can take advantage of you are often higher in status than you.

Therefore, the He family didn't even have a special four-wheeled carriage, and when they wanted to go out, they would call a rickshaw on the street.

Speaking of this rickshaw, it can also be regarded as a scenic line in Chang'an City.

As the flagship product of Chengnan Carriage Company, the launch of rickshaw has made Chengnan Carriage Company sit firmly in the second position in the Datang Carriage Industry.

Nowadays, there are many rickshaws running on the streets of Chang'an City every day, which can be regarded as solving the employment problem of many people.

……

"Your Majesty, this is the amount of shares sold in the Eastern Pacific Company yesterday."

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhong reported the latest information to Li Shimin.

"So little? Even a hundred percent of it was not sold. Don't you all know that the profits of going to sea are very good, and the emergence of new things such as the East Pacific Company is to allow more ordinary people to share the profits overseas? ”

Li Shimin looked at the numbers in his hand strangely.

It's a little abnormal.

In his view, the future of East Pacific is bright.

Even if you can't get to the Americas this year, you can definitely do it next year and the year after.

When the time comes, the benefits will definitely be astronomical.

Nowadays, no one buys it.

In an instant, Li Shimin had the urge to wrap up the remaining shares.

"A lot of people really have doubts in their minds. In their opinion, it was very strange that His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly came up with such a thing called the East Pacific Company. Many people think that this is an act of His Royal Highness the King of Chu to share the risks of going to sea, and even think that this is to let ordinary people spend money to make money for the Chu Palace. ”

Li Zhong was also a little depressed in his heart.

His son was a member of the East Pacific Company, and in order to support his son, he spent a whole thousand dollars to buy the shares of the Pacific Company, a thousand shareholders, according to the maximum limit that an individual could buy.

Now it seems that this investment is actually not optimistic.

Anyone who encounters such a thing is a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Kuan'er is rich and rivals the country, where do you need to spend all this effort to earn the money of ordinary people! In this way, didn't the "Datang Daily" not reveal that my internal funds occupy 30% of the shares of the East Pacific Company? You find someone to go to the newspaper office and secretly reveal the news. ”

At the critical moment, Li Shimin felt that he also had to give Li Kuan some support.

If you know that the internal bank occupies 30% of the shares of the East Pacific Company, then the confidence in the company is naturally different.

After all, Li Kuan cheated no one's money, and he didn't dare to cheat today's money.

……

Lao Ren is also a well-known figure in the Chang'an City business district.

Although the status is not high, the popularity is not low.

Whether it is the hot sale of bicycles or the hot sale of opera house tickets, there is the shadow of Lao Ren behind it.

Even when some businesses open or engage in activities, they will take the initiative to find Lao Ren's people to come over as a support to set off the atmosphere.

In this way, Lao Ren became popular.

"Lao Ren, do you really think that the stock of this East Pacific Company is also something that can be speculated? That thing isn't cheap, don't smash it in your hands then, it's just a pile of waste paper. I've heard that even if you spend a thousand dollars, you just get a certificate with a face value of 1,000 shares. ”

Peng Zhijun is the owner of Lao Ren, although most of the time, Peng Zhijun does not interfere with Lao Ren's decision.

But once the amount involved exceeds 500 yuan, Lao Ren will report it to Peng Zhiyun.

Today is no exception, Lao Ren is ready to raise 10,000 yuan of funds to speculate the value of the shares of the East Pacific Company, and whether the "Evil Words to Confuse the Public" to go to sea or not is successful, it has nothing to do with Lao Ren.

Anyway, he will ship quickly after the stock price comes up and make a difference.

"Owner, have you read this morning's "Datang Daily" and "Moon Daily"? It was mentioned that His Majesty had allocated 60,000 yuan from the treasury, accounting for 30% of the East Pacific Company. Even His Majesty is optimistic about the company, what do you and I have to worry about?

Datang Royal Money, East China Sea Fishery, you look at these places, if we want to get a share, is there a chance? Finally, a similar East Pacific company has emerged, and we must hype it up. ”

Lao Ren's economic sense of smell is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

As soon as he saw the news in the newspaper today, he made up his mind to hype up this novel thing called "stock".

Anyway, whether it's a weird name like "company" or "stock", it's something that hasn't existed before.

This kind of thing, on the contrary, is the most convenient for Lao Ren to hype.

At the beginning, the tickets and bicycles of the opera house basically had this novelty, so there was room for hype.

"What you say seems to have a point. But smashing it into 10,000 at once, the risk is still too great, you spend 2,000 to try it first, it's a big deal, you spend 2,000 to get 20,000 yuan. ”

Peng Zhiyun's words gave Lao Ren a wake-up call.

He could have organized his group of people to line up at the door of the office of the East Pacific Company in the Datang Trading Center, and each person bought one stock at a time, and then brought out the atmosphere of scrambling to buy stocks.

When other people see it, combined with the news of authoritative media such as "Datang Daily", it is estimated that they will immediately follow suit.

In particular, the shopkeeper and the guys in the trading center took out a dollar or two to take risks, and they were still willing.

"Boss, I know how to do it. You can rest assured that tomorrow you will be able to read the news of the hot sale of East Pacific shares in the newspapers. At that time, I will see if I need to invest more depending on the situation. ”

After having a direction to do things, Lao Ren's face immediately became elated.

This feeling of making history, participating in history, and changing history excites him.
