The Nanjing Stock Exchange has become a noisy scene at this time, and hundreds of people are crowded in the trading hall at this time, waving bills of exchange issued by the bank in their hands, and are shouting loudly.

"It's up—it's up—"

"It's really rising, it seems that the war is really a cannon sound, ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Hahahaha, Boss Chen still has a good vision, and he has already bought a large number of them before the war!"

Everyone's faces were excited, but they were not at all calm, but at this time, on the black wooden board hanging above the trading hall, someone was writing numbers in chalk and erasing the others.

It turned out that since the news of the victory in the Battle of Batavia came back to China, the overwhelming newspaper propaganda was naturally not mentioned, but the real impact was on the Nanjing Stock Exchange, because a large number of victorious news boosted all stocks related to the development of the South China Sea and foreign trade soared rapidly.

In just a few days, the price of these shares has more than tripled, and even more people have waved bills of exchange to continue buying these shares, and almost everyone knows that when the outcome of this battle is known, the future will be a real untapped treasure in front of them.

But fortunately, in today's Dachu, there is a blue ocean of investment everywhere, but capital has become a rarity, so a frenzy like this will not last long, after all, the news of victory comes one by one, and there are more and more places to invest, and it seems that making money has become an easy and comfortable thing.

Of course, while everyone is carnivaling, the real giants on the Nanjing Stock Exchange are naturally the most concerned, among which representatives of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, as well as representatives of the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce, and several other large chambers of commerce, have become the objects of everyone's pursuit, because their every move is a profound move, and they can pick up bones and gnaw even if they can't eat meat.

However, at this time, these giants were not in the hall on the first floor, but gathered in a small room on the top floor, and a very difficult negotiation was underway.

At this time, the room was divided into two fields, one of which was the person in charge of the major chambers of commerce, and on the other side was Bai Guangguo, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Dachu, and Song Ziqin, the director of the Overseas Trade Department.

As the chief treasurer of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Cui Yu naturally sat in this part of the Chamber of Commerce, and next to him was He Zimao, the general manager of the Royal Consortium.

Bai Guangguo was in his forties, just transferred from the local government, he was originally an official who surrendered in the former Qing Dynasty, and later was appreciated by Cui Wancai because of his outstanding official reputation, so he left him in the local area as an official, and his political achievements were outstanding, so he was promoted to the center of the imperial court and became the hot left waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

You must know that among the ministries and cabinets under the Executive Yuan, there is such a sentence that is called "the Ministry of Agriculture that is beaten by iron, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that is cast in silver, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce that does not change gold!" ”

The meaning is also very easy to understand, the Ministry of Agriculture because it is the fundamental government of the imperial court, so officials need to govern for a long time, it is impossible to move the nest easily, but there is no real benefit, after all, the agricultural tax has nothing to do with the Ministry of Agriculture, can not get oil and water, and can not easily rise, so it is not liked by ordinary people, only those officials who really like agricultural technology are willing to stay in the Ministry of Agriculture, so it is called the "iron Ministry of Agriculture".

As for the reason for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is relatively simple, Emperor Ning Yu now attaches great importance to this ministry and yamen, and the officials who enter it are all young talents, and their futures have been paved early, and even the official qualities are higher than ordinary ministries and cabinets, and they are extremely noble, so they are also known as the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Silver Casting".

And among all the parts, only the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is quite envied by everyone, after entering this department, the power immediately rose a lot, especially after being able to start leading the project, many local officials are eager to go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce every day to squat, to get some good projects for their own jurisdiction, this process is naturally a lot of oil and water.

However, for the time being, Bai Guangguo, as the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, is only located under Ning Zhonghai, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and his status is extraordinary, and he can come to the Nanjing Stock Exchange for a very important matter.

"It is not easy for Da Chu to win this time, and naturally it will take a lot of effort, but fortunately, it has won now, and it will soon completely take over all the property of the Dutch East India Company, including thousands of plantations, and a large number of laborers......."

Bai Guangguo smiled, "But I won't say much about these things, anyway, the information in front of you is basically complete, of course, some of them have not been fully grasped yet, but I believe that you can understand the value of this——"

Everyone present was a person-like person, and naturally understood the meaning of Bai Guangguo's words, they had read the information on the table several times, and they also had a good idea of its value, but everyone understood that at this time, they were not only doing business with the imperial court, but also beware of these competitors around them, and suddenly everyone stopped talking.

However, as the chief treasurer of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Cui Yu naturally had an arrogance in his heart that was different from others, and took the lead in speaking: "The imperial court has spent a huge amount of money, which has affected other aspects of this year's expenditure. ”

Song Ziqin, director of the Overseas Trade Department on the side, suddenly smiled and said softly: "Shopkeeper Cui, let's talk about it bigger, they are all His Majesty's courtiers, how can you have a reason to be difficult?" But we are not the ones who represent ourselves, that is also sent by the imperial court, and the ministers are also in a hurry now. ”

Cui Yu silently picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said softly: "The price is naturally negotiable, but whether the business can be done or not, we still have to say a word." ”

"What?" Song Ziqin couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Bai Guangguo frowned, but he took over the conversation: "We can naturally understand what Shopkeeper Cui means, the current situation has not been completely clarified, are you worried that this cooked duck will fly away——"

Cui Yu's eyelids quickly drooped, he only needed to say such a sentence, and this sentence was not said for the royal chamber of commerce, the key was to reassure the other chambers of commerce here, that is, the imperial court attached more importance to Nanyang than everyone imagined, and would never give up easily.

To put it bluntly, for these businessmen, the feelings of family and country are just a spice, not a real main dish, they want to look at real benefits, and they will naturally care about one point, that is, can Da Chu ensure that they can eat this duck safely and securely after spending money?

After all, although the battle of Batavia was won, the Dutch were not completely without a chance to fight back, and they had to wait for the further development of the situation, and secondly, it was not enough to deal with the Dutch, after all, there were still natives of Java in the South Seas, what if they had bad intentions?

Bai Guangguo was naturally clear about this set in his heart, he did not guarantee it very bluntly, but smiled slightly: "Don't hide it from you, even if you want to swallow this duck at that time, it will be the royal chamber of commerce that will eat it first, if even they can't catch this duck steadily, Your Majesty won't be able to spare us people at that time!" ”

Cheng Qian, the person in charge of the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce on the side, suddenly showed a smile, I have to say that Bai Guangguo's answer was very clever, after all, this is equivalent to saying that even the emperor has begun to take out money to bet on the treasure, are you still worried about losing money? Even if it is a loss, it is the emperor himself who loses the most.

With these words, although the doubts in everyone's hearts have not been completely eliminated, at least they have been eliminated, and it is naturally better to talk about how to do this deal.

Just when the big crocodiles began to discuss how to cut the meat, two people also appeared at the gate of the Nanjing Stock Exchange at this time, it was Shen Weijun and the servant Chun San who came from Shanghai.

For Shen Weijun, this is not the first time he has come here, in fact, when the Nanjing Stock Exchange had just opened, the eldest son of the Shen family came here to explore the bottom.

It's just that in Shen Weijun's view at that time, this so-called Nanjing Stock Exchange contains a lot of risks - if he takes out the shares of his own cotton yarn store for trading, although he can collect a large amount of money, but it will lead to the dilution of his own shares, that is to say, not only will the income be reduced, but also the control of his own cotton yarn bank will fall into the hands of others in the future.

I have to say that Shen Weijun, who has a very simple financial knowledge, has a strong sense of risk in a sense, and he does not trust other people at all, so he is unwilling to carry out securitization.

As for Shen Weijun's coming at this time, there was only one thing, and that was to buy stocks, because from his keen eye, it could be seen that as long as he bought stocks related to Nanyang at the moment, he would not lose money in the future no matter what—because the imperial court would not stop further actions in Nanyang.

Chun San on the side said curiously: "Master, what are these people doing, why are they more lively than us rushing to the market......

"They, they're trading stocks, they can make a lot of money!"

Shen Weijun replied casually while staring at the chalk words on the blackboard.

Chun San heard the word "making a lot of money", and immediately became energetic, he learned Shen Weijun to stare at the blackboard and knock, but he didn't know a few big characters, where could he understand this, but the more he looked at it, the more boring he felt, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Master, then you say, can I make money by trading stocks?"

"No, you can't. I can tell you, it's not easy for you to save that little bit of silver, don't throw it here, don't even know how to write it when you die! ”

Shen Weijun admonished his servants with a serious expression, and then turned his head to look at the people who were still noisy, and suddenly sighed leisurely.

"Although I don't know what the risks are here, I have a sense that a few of the people here today may have to jump into the river one day!"
