Chapter 430: The Crazy Exchange (Part I)
- Qingzhou Plain
There is a big event in Qingzhou today.
That's when the legendary stock exchange is finally about to open.
Almost all the famous warriors in Qingzhou gathered in the Plains City at this time.
Many of them had stocks in exchange for Ma Qiang.
In order to rapidly expand his industrial strength, Ma Qiang has carried out mergers and acquisitions or fund-raising expansion of cement factories, porcelain factories and shipyards like the salt industry group.
But more people are still curious about what kind of place this legendary exchange can make people rich overnight and bankrupt overnight.
The stock exchange is very large and magnificent, and the whole is a cement building with bamboo reinforcement and concrete, which is rare in this era, and outside the door, there is a bronze statue of a bull with an angry head raised.
Don't think that bamboo reinforced concrete is cutting corners, in fact, this is a very normal way of building, and even buildings can be built in this way.
Walking into the exchange, the first thing is an extremely wide hall, and then you can see a huge blackboard with dense small lattices hanging on the wall, and under the blackboard, there is a long counter, about forty or fifty, and trained staff sit in front of their respective counters, tidying up their appearance.
The area of this hall can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, and there are small cubicle rooms on the side, with private room signs hanging on them.
"Ming Gong, this exchange is so magnificent."
Guo Jia likes these novelty things the most, his eyes look left and right, but he feels that he can't see enough.
"Well, it's almost time, let's go sit up there and see a little more clearly."
Ma Qiang takes this exchange very seriously, and on the first trading day, he naturally wants to come and see the excitement.
In later generations, he also bought stocks.
As for the result.... Leeks are so delicious~~
On the second floor, there is only one side of the room next to the door, and the room is equipped with a telescope, so that the guests inside can clearly see the latest price of the stock on the blackboard in the distance.
Of course, these binoculars cannot be taken away, and there are guards guarding the door.
"Open the door!"
With the shout of Wen Yuan, the director of the exchange, the door of the stock exchange opened, and countless people walked in in line, and then they were a little overwhelmed.
Wen Yuan is a native of Jizhou, when there was a drought in Jizhou, he was taken to the Red Star Camp as a homeless person, because he was diligent and studious, he was valued by Ma Qiang, and after Ma Qiang's personal training, he became the first director of the exchange.
After all, it's the first trading day, and these players don't know the rules of the game yet.
"Ming Gong, not only our Qingzhou Haoqiang is here, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou... There are also people from Jingzhou. Guo Jia took the binoculars and looked down, he had known a lot of people in Yingchuan before, although these people did not necessarily know him.
"This means that our publicity is good, and Linzhi is the first credit."
Lin Zhi on the side proudly straightened his chest, but when he saw that Ma Qiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and said, "Little Brother Ma!" Is there no reward for merit? ”
"There are rewards, there are rewards! Go back and make you fruit ice cream! It's too hot! ”
Ma Qiang couldn't help but miss the air conditioner in later generations, and then asked Huang Xu to get two more ice canons to cool down.
Bingjian is a utensil for holding ice, which can be used as both a refrigerator and an air conditioner, and is the first weapon for the rich to escape the heat in ancient times.
As for the ice.... China has had the custom of hiding ice since ancient times, and this thing is not a matter for Haoqiang in any era.
Even in the hall of the exchange, a lot of ice cubes were placed to lower the temperature in the house.
Ma Qiang still has to serve these guests who send money to him.
"Bell, bell!"
Wen Yuan stood on a platform and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first trading day of our exchange, and there are a total of seven companies listed on the stock exchange.
They are Qingzhou Salt Industry, Qingzhou Ocean Fishing, Qingzhou Canning Factory, Pingyuan Glass Factory, Pingyuan Porcelain Factory, Qingzhou Cement Factory, and Qingdao Shipyard.
You should have read the newspaper and know what a stock is, whether you want to buy or sell, you can open an account at our counter to operate.
By the way, in order to trade quickly, our exchange only accepts the transaction of money tickets, if you bring gold, silver, copper and so on, please go and exchange the money tickets again!
Half an hour later, you can get a lottery number, an hour later officially opened, you still don't understand, you can go to the front desk to consult our traders!
Since it is the first trading day, today's trading time will be postponed by one hour. ”
"Ming Gong, is it inappropriate not to accept copper coins?" Zheng Xuan, who was on the side, asked.
Zheng Xuan was willing to come and see the excitement, and to be honest, Ma Qiang was quite surprised.
But Zheng Xuan's reason is very sufficient, in the future "Literature Dacheng" must record the matter of this stock, if he does not understand, this book will inevitably be flawed in the future.
"The time of stock trading is only three hours a day, one and a half in the morning, one and a half in the afternoon, the time is very short, and the amount of stock trading is often very large, whether it is copper coins or gold and silver, the time required to confirm the authenticity is much longer than the money ticket, the larger the amount, the more so, so only money tickets are accepted here, not cash."
Ma Qiang explained, but he didn't say the deeper reason.
He needs to make these heroes more and more accustomed to money tickets, and even take the initiative to exchange the precious metal currency at home for money tickets, only in this way can he tie these people to his chariot.
The melee in Jizhou represents the overall situation of the world to the time when the heroes compete for hegemony, to a certain extent, their rear is the most unstable of all, and almost all the heroes have a reason to rebel against themselves.
Therefore, these people can only be tied up by interests, and even if they want to rebel at that time, they must consider the problem of money and stocks in their hands.
This is actually the same as why later generations should guard against naked officials.
"This IPO is a good opportunity to pick up money, don't you want to give it a try?" Ma Qiang said to everyone, it can be regarded as a small red envelope for everyone.
"Since Ming Gong said that he can make money, he must be able to, Jia, let's buy it!"
Guo Jia is very supportive of Ma Qiang's work.
"I'll go, I'll go! Sister Diao Chan, do you want to buy some too? Lin Zhi stretched out his hand and shouted.
Diao Chan on the side nodded, took out his personal sachet, handed it to Lin Zhi and said, "Buy it all." ”
Zhang Ning also took out his purse and said, "There are also mine, and I have bought them all." After speaking, he looked at Ma Qiang and said, "If you don't make money, Master, you have to compensate me!" ”
"Does Brother Pony pay for it? Then I bought it too! Qingcheng immediately raised his hand.
.....
This ruined! Ma Qiang feels so tired of his heart!
In the hall, Lu Zhong was wandering around.
This was his first visit to Plains City under Ma Qiang's rule.
As the major shareholder of the salt industry group, he will not be absent from today's day to decide whether his net worth will rise or fall.
Lu Zhong originally had 326 shares of Qingzhou Salt Industry stocks, but for exchange trading, it was expanded to 326,000 shares, and one share also changed from the original 10,000 yuan to 10 yuan, it is said that in the exchange, the stock must be bought by hand at a time, and one lot is 100 shares.
Although Lu Zhong didn't understand why this was the case, as long as his money was not lost, it didn't matter.
