Overnight, the Eastern Pacific Company was on fire.

It is also strange to say that when Wang Fugui sold stocks on the Datang Trading Center on the first day, he was very deserted.

Except for Zhou Benqiang, there are few people who really buy it.

As a result, Wang Fugui received Yang Benman, and the situation seemed to have changed a little.

Soon, various newspapers began to publish reports that His Majesty also had a stake in the Eastern Pacific Company.

Even the news spread that the Eastern Pacific Company would monopolize all maritime trade in the Americas in the future.

No one is allowed to trade in the Americas without the permission of the Eastern Pacific Company.

What's more, it is said that the East China Sea fishery will be incorporated into the East Pacific Company in the future, and all overseas trade in the future will be monopolized by the East Pacific Company.

All kinds of true and false news filled the streets and alleys of Chang'an City in a short period of time.

In addition, Lao Ren organized hundreds of people to line up at the Datang Trading Center, which brought out the tight atmosphere of East Pacific Company's stocks.

The first to make a move were the guys and shopkeepers in the Datang Trading Center, and then the craftsmen in the workshop city also immediately made a move.

In particular, those craftsmen who were forced to buy a house in the workshop city were very motivated.

"Daddy, look, what did I buy?"

In a courtyard in Yongping Fang, Liao Zhang happily took out a special piece of paper from his arms.

"Is there any delicious dessert in Bread Xinyu?"

Uncle Liao thought he was blessed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! Don't you know that there are many more important things than eating? ”

Liao Zhang was speechless and slapped the "paper" in his hand into Uncle Liao's hand.

As a helper in the honeycomb coal workshop of the Chu Wangfu, Uncle Liao's monthly salary is very limited, otherwise he would not have rented a room in his yard to Dongfang Ping.

On the contrary, in the past few years, Liao Zhang's first served as a team leader in the wool workshop, and then was promoted and reused in the cotton workshop, and the family status can be said to be rising.

Whether a person's status in the family is high or not is often directly proportional to his income.

Obviously, in the Liao family, it is now the Liao Zhang family who has the final say.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Uncle Liao learned some basic Chinese characters in the night school of the honeycomb coal shop, but when he saw this thing in his hand, he didn't understand it for a while.

No way, although he knows most of the words on it, but when they are connected, he doesn't understand it a little

"East Pacific Company equity certificate, you can't read? Let me tell you, it's just a simple piece of paper, but it's worth ten dollars, you have to put it away for me, I bought it after taking a half-day off today and queuing for a long time. ”

Uncle Liao didn't know what he was doing, which was something that Liao Zhang's expected.

"Equity certificates? What can this thing do? Is there any use in buying it? Aren't you wasting money? ”

Uncle Liao frowned, a little unhappy.

Although Liao Zhang's family status is very high now, this kind of practice of spending ten times without consulting himself is still very uncomfortable.

"You know what! Many people in our workshop are talking about this equity certificate, it will increase in price. There are already people outside, saying that they are willing to buy the equity certificate of the consistent money at the usual price of 050 yuan. Isn't that the equivalent of making five pips out of thin air? ”

"There is no such good thing in this world. If the equity certificate of the East Pacific Company you mentioned can increase in price inexplicably, wouldn't everyone buy it? ”

Uncle Liao is accustomed to relying on his hands to make money with one honeycomb coal and one honeycomb coal.

I don't really understand what Liao Zhang said.

"Who knows, anyway, this equity certificate, but even His Majesty bought it. Behind closed doors, with this equity certificate, we can be regarded as the owners of the East Pacific Company, and we are doing business with His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Chu. When will a family like us have the opportunity to do business with His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what an honor it is? Even if the money is spent in vain, I think it's worth it. ”

Liao Zhang's words made Uncle Liao speechless.

And a similar scene is happening in the homes of many people in Chang'an City.

Some of these people bought a share of stock, and some even several people bought a share together.

Anyway, in just three days, the shares of East Pacific were sold out.

……

"Brother Chen, I heard that you bought the shares of the 1,000-shareholder Pacific Company as soon as you made a move yesterday?"

In Ajinomoto, Chen Jin and Liu Wenfei chatted while tasting the roasted whole sheep.

"yes, it's good that I was quick enough, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy that much."

Chen Jin said with a happy smile.

As a businessman, there will inevitably be a variety of gift-giving occasions every day.

All along, Chen Jin has been a little worried about what gift to give people.

Especially for some officials who have read a little bit of books and are a little high-minded, if you give him a few silver tickets, people may think it is cheesy.

Of course, if the amount on the silver ticket is large enough, no one will dislike it.

But Chen Jin himself earns so many thousands of dollars a year, and it is impossible to use it all for gifts.

Therefore, on most gift-giving occasions, he gives something worth a few or dozens of dollars.

At this time, what to buy is a very challenging thing.

Now with shares in East Pacific, he found that he had one more thing to give a gift.

Equity certificates, that is, stocks, are a new thing that has only emerged in the past few days.

Not only is it trendy, but it is also said to have appreciation value.

The most important thing is this kind of equity certificate, you can buy the bearer or bearer.

Registered shares can be traded as a whole, but you just want to go through certain procedures with the East Pacific Company.

Bearer stocks, that's really similar to silver tickets, whoever holds it in their hands is theirs.

All the stocks that Chen Jin bought were bearer stocks.

"I heard that someone just bought a stock on the front foot, and someone bought it at a price of 50 yuan when they came out, and it is obvious that this is Lao Ren's handiwork. It seems that the stock in your hand is about to rise in price, Brother Chen. ”

Liu Wenfei's words revealed a sour atmosphere.

There is no way, by the time Liu Wenfei reacted to buy stocks, they had already sold out!

He didn't even buy a single share.

"Datang Daily" said very clearly, this stock is an investment product, buy it, you have to bear its price rise and fall, as long as you don't sell it, then whether it rises or falls, it is actually a virtual number, don't care too much."

Chen Jin said this in his mouth, but the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

"This handwriting of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really always unexpected. I didn't expect such a stock thing to come out, and I immediately came back with so much money. The most important thing is that all the people who have been circled for money are still grateful to Dade, which is the most powerful business. Liu Wenfei was very emotional.

As the "God of Wealth" of Datang, Li Kuan's influence and appeal in the business circle are beyond doubt.

This time, the IPO of East Pacific Company can be regarded as opening a new model for Datang's commercial development.

It is likely that within a few days, a new batch of companies called so-and-so companies will appear in Chang'an City.

"According to the current IPO size, the value of the East Pacific Company is 200,000 yuan. But in fact, the company now has only three ships ready to go to sea, as well as a group of sailors allocated by the East China Sea Fishing Industry.

Really counting the property, the value of the East Pacific Company is at most 50,000 guan, even if you add the bonus of some supply points, it will not exceed 100,000 guan. It's just that people can raise shares according to 200,000 yuan, and they can also make stocks in short supply, which is really admirable. Chen Jin can also be regarded as the first group of people to contact the various workshops of the Chu Palace, and witnessed the rise of the "Chu system".

"I just don't know what this East Pacific company will look like in a few years, if his stock can really appreciate, then the impact on Datang's business model will be too great."

Liu Wenfei thought that he didn't buy stocks yesterday, and he didn't know if it would continue to rise in the future.

"You don't have to wait a few years, just look at the changes in their stocks in the last month, you can see a lot of things."

The stock that Chen Jin just bought yesterday has appreciated today, and he feels that there may be obvious changes in the future.

After all, as long as someone wants to buy it, they may put a high price out.

"Well, I'll wait and see for a few more days, if it's really that hot, even if it is a fifty yuan increase, I will buy a few hundred shares back."

"Brother Liu, if you think so, I think you can consider making a move earlier." It is likely that in a few days, you will not be able to buy a share without adding fifty yuan. ”

Chen Jin feels that the shares of East Pacific can go from being unpopular on the first day to being sold out yesterday, and are likely to continue to appreciate in the next few days.

"Well, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Liu Wenfei said suspiciously.

"Stocks are a new thing, and no one knows what the future holds."

Seeing that Liu Wenfei didn't believe what he said, Chen Jin didn't want to say much.

After all, he himself is not very sure what will happen to the price changes later.

What if it falls in a few days?

……

Just when Liu Wenfei and Chen Jin were discussing the stock matter in Ajinomoto, Wuhe on the opposite side was in the center, and Li Yuanchang and Peng Zhiyun, the king of Han, were also discussing the stock of the East Pacific Company while eating.

"Lao Peng, so you think there is a head in the stock thing?"

Although Li Yuanchang is a prince, he does not have much money in his hands because he likes to collect precious calligraphy and paintings.

Otherwise, he, the seventh son of Li Yuan, would not have taken the initiative to take refuge in his nephew Li Chengqian's side.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, not to mention that the value of this stock seems to continue to rise, just His Royal Highness the King of Chu plays with the concept of stocks, which is very interesting. You see, the East Pacific Company doesn't have anything to offer except a few ships, not even a workshop, but they can get 100,000 yuan by selling stocks, and that's only half of the shares.

Doesn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu now encourage everyone to follow to the sea? Then we also set up a company, and then do the same thing to sell a stock. There is no need to be like His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come up with 100,000 guan, we just need to sell 20,000 guan first and see if the effect is good. If it works well, we can start another company. ”

Peng Zhijun felt that he had found a way to make money quickly.

It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not wrong to follow the God of Wealth.

"That's right, he Li Kuan set up the East Pacific Company, and we set up an Americas Development Company, and also rented a shop in the Datang Exchange Center, and set up an office of the Americas Development Company, and then began to find a printing workshop with good technology to help print stocks, and also went to circle 20,000 yuan to come back and spend a flower."

Li Yuanchang listened to Peng Zhiyun's words, and his eyes brightened.

In this world, there is really such a thing as money coming in so quickly.

"No problem, I'll go to the household department tomorrow to file a record, and then find the "Datang Daily" and "Qujiang Daily", as well as the "Chang'an Daily" to advertise, and say that the American Development Company has begun to sell shares, and the price per share is the same as that of the East Pacific Company, which is the same money."

"Do you think Datang Daily will be reluctant to advertise for us at that time?"

Li Yuanchang felt that the money seemed to be too simple, and he couldn't help but feel a little unconfident in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the rules were set by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. I thought that after so many years of understanding of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he is the most discipline-minded, as long as he does things within the rules, even if what we do is harmful to the interests of the King of Chu, he will support it. So I think there is no reason for "Datang Daily" to refuse our advertisement, otherwise the Chu Wangfu will lose its rules in doing things, and it can't just be set on fire by the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamps, right? ”

Although Peng Zhiyun did not deal with Li Kuan directly, he inquired about Li Kuan's many news.

In fact, there are few merchants in Chang'an City who have not collected information about Li Kuan.

Whenever there are some new moves in the Chu Palace, there are often some merchants who follow suit.

"It makes sense, if he Li Kuan dares to say such things, I will impeach him in the court. Why is it that only the company of his Chu Wangfu can issue this stock, and we can't? ”

Li Yuanchang felt that what Peng Zhiyun said was very reasonable, and he was inexplicably a little more confident in his heart.

"Well, as long as we act according to the rules set by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, even if he knows that we are rubbing hot spots, it is not good to say anything. As for what will become of the Inter-American Development Corporation in the future, that is a question for later, and we will get the first money first. ”

Peng Zhiyun didn't think about it, and really wanted to form a fleet and go to sea with the "Evil Words to Confuse the Public".

But if the American Development Corporation still has the value of going on forever, he doesn't mind buying a random sea vessel and going to sea to end his stock issuance trip without any loopholes.

……

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, Wu Meiniang came to Li Kuan's side angrily with a newspaper.

"Lord Wang, you think this American Development Company is too much, right? It is completely copied from the advertisement of the East Pacific Company, except for changing the name of the company, not a word has changed. Even the company's address and the value of its shares are set exactly the same as those of the East Pacific Company. ”

After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she handed Li Kuan the latest "Datang Daily" of the day.

"The Inter-American Development Corporation? It's a good name. ”

Li Kuan took the newspaper in Wu Meiniang's hand disappreciably.

He is not at all surprised that there will be a phenomenon of following the trend in Chang'an City.

"Lord Wang, you are still in the mood to laugh, this American Development Company is obviously rubbing hot spots. I'm in Chang'an City, and I've never heard of such a company, besides, the word company was just coined by you, Lord Wang, and they didn't even understand what the meaning of this word was, so why did they start imitating the East Pacific Company? Isn't their behavior defrauding the people of Chang'an City of their money? ”

Wu Meiniang was so angry because she felt that the American Development Company had taken advantage of the Chu Palace.

But when they cause trouble and there is no way to solve it properly, they will also implicate the Chu Wangfu.

After all, the things "company" and "stock" were all made by the Chu Wangfu.

"As things stand, although the American Development Corporation is a leather bag company, it's hard to say anything about it. People didn't say that after taking everyone's money, they wouldn't go to the Americas. Theoretically speaking, the model of East Pacific Company can inject vitality into Datang's business development, but new things always have to suffer losses before everyone can have a correct understanding of it. ”

Before the advent of Datang Royal Money, Datang had almost no decent financial industry.

Although a large number of money banks have emerged one after another in various places under the drive of Datang Royal Bank, the business model is generally very simple, which is far from achieving the purpose of stimulating Datang's commercial development.

And for a country's business to develop rapidly, proper financial development is necessary.

Although there may be some labor pains in this development process, Li Kuan does not intend to protect him there like a nanny.

Everyone is an adult, and we have to be responsible for our actions.

"But if we allow the Inter-American Development Corporation to do this, then maybe in two days there will be the Inter-American Development Corporation, the Inter-American Trading Corporation, and even any other mess of companies like the Western Pacific Company, the South Pacific Company, and the North Pacific Company."

Wu Meiniang is very clear about the style of businessmen.

Once this American development company succeeds in following the trend and eating crabs, there will definitely be many companies of all kinds who will come forward to make money.

This situation is a bit inconsistent with Li Kuan's original intention.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, although the shares of these companies are priced at one silver coin, they have to be sold."

Although people in this era are generally simple, it doesn't mean that they are stupid.

It is obviously the behavior of the leather bag company to circle money, and it is impossible for everyone to continue to be calculated.

……

Linghu Wujiang is an ordinary official of Yushitai, although he is not in Chang'an City, where he does not know the official size, he is not a big person.

However, as the actual executors of the affairs of the various yamen, the rights of the officials are not as insignificant as everyone thinks.

Yushitai is a clear water yamen, but the officials can also find various ways to make money.

For example, if you resell some of the news you heard in the Imperial Observatory to a servant of a noble family, you may be able to get the benefit of one or two dollars.

Another example is to threaten some people with the news that they have heard that some officials are doing evil, and you can also make a profit.

Of course, the officials only dared to do something to some petty officials who were not looked down upon by the imperial historians, and if they provoked people who should not be provoked, the end would not be good.

However, as a side child of the Linghu family, Linghu Wujiang has seen a lot of all kinds of deception since he was a child, and he has a very good grasp of the degree of work.

Therefore, although he is only in his twenties, he is like a fish in water in Yushitai, and he can be regarded as having a small savings.

In the past few days, Linghu Wujiang has been hearing people discussing the stock of the East Pacific Company in the Yushi Observatory, and his heart has also begun to heat up.

"Even Yang Yushi has made a move, it seems that the stock is indeed promising."

Linghu Wujiang put down the "Datang Daily" in his hand, and wondered if he was going to buy some stocks too.

"Why don't you say hello to the steward in a while, and say that you will go to the street to inquire about the news? Then go to the Datang Trading Center to buy some stocks? ”

"That's it!"

Linghu Wujiang took a breath and wiped out the black tea in his hand, then got up and went to the steward's room to say hello.

As a Xu official who has been in the Yushitai for more than ten years, Ling Hu Wujiang wants to go out to do something, but no one will embarrass him.

Soon, he called a rickshaw at the gate of Yushitai and headed towards the Datang Trading Center.

"It's up! The stock of the East Pacific Company has risen to the usual amount of money and 100 cents per share! ”

"What has always been a hundred dollars? You were the price an hour ago, and now you don't add fifty yuan, you can't buy it at all! ”

"The Inter-American Development Corporation started selling shares yesterday, and it still seems to be a share of money."

When Linghu Wujiang arrived at the gate of the Datang Trading Center, it was bustling, and many people were excitedly talking about stocks.

Although there is no special stock trading center here, and the stocks of various companies are traded in their respective offices, several newly established companies are issuing shares one after another, and the entrance of the Datang Trading Center is hot.

"It's good that I came here today, and it would be too credible if I missed it. The stock of the East Pacific Company has risen by 15 percent in just a few days, and if it had cost 100 yuan at the beginning, this year's income would have been earned. ”

Linghu Wujiang paid five cents to the rickshaw driver, and then went directly to the office of the East Pacific Company.

If you want to buy, buy the stocks that Yang Benman bought, but Linghu Wujiang did not covet the newly sold stocks of the American Development Company, but chose an East Pacific company that had risen a wave and seemed to be a bit risky.

It's not because he knows how well he knows about stocks, and he realizes that if he buys something, he has to buy the price increase, but because Yang Benman, the most famous person in Yushitai, also bought shares of East Pacific Company, and he didn't hear the news of Yang Benman selling stocks.

This means that Yang Benman believes that the value of this stock still has room to rise.

I have missed the best time to buy, and I can't hesitate any longer!

"One hundred and fifteen!"

Linghu Wujiang took out a small stack of silver tickets from the Tang Royal Bank from his arms and walked into the office of the East Pacific Company!
