Chapter 27: Flickering

"Uncle, Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, no one in this world knows, no one knows!

Now that the price of iron has risen sharply, it has seriously affected the lives of the people, and Your Majesty is worried!

Now His Majesty is willing to give up a part of the shares of Xishan Coal Industry, what is the intention, with the wisdom of his uncle, he will not be unable to guess, right? ”

Li Zhao replied with righteous words.

"Zhaotong, you mean that Your Majesty already knows that our nobles are involved in hoarding pig iron, which has led to the rise in the price of iron?

In order to make us no longer buy pig iron, and sell the pig iron hoarded in our hands, so as to lower the price of iron, Your Majesty did not hesitate to take out the very profitable shares of Xishan Coal Industry and tie us to the chariot? ”

Zhu Fu was a little flustered in his heart, after all, his secret participation in the purchase of pig iron and the price of iron was not seen in the light, if Emperor Hongzhi really knew, then it was very likely that something bad would happen.

As for what's not good? He didn't dare to think about it.

He is not a relative like the Zhang brothers, but he does not dare to behave under the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi.

"Of course!"

Li Zhaotong saw Zhu Fu take the bait, and his tone became firm:

"Uncle, Your Majesty has the two major intelligence agencies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in his hands!

Do you really not know about the things you have done?

Your Majesty, he knows it clearly!

But His Majesty is merciful, and he is not willing to use bad means to lower the price of iron.

Therefore, His Majesty is willing to share a part of the benefits first, tie some people to the chariot, and see if he can bring down the price of iron, if not, ......"

"That's it! Don't talk about it! Zhu Fu panicked:

"Uncle knows what's at stake, so Uncle will arrange for someone to stop buying pig iron and sell it!"

After speaking, Zhu Fu immediately called the housekeeper in and gave an order in his ear.

"Uncle is wise!"

Li Zhaotong on the side, seeing the housekeeper hurrying away, roughly heard Zhu Fu whispering something to this housekeeper, he hurriedly praised him, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face!

Because, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be one, the Chengguo Mansion stopped buying pig iron and sold pig iron, and other nobles will basically follow suit.

Not to mention, Li Zhaotong heard Zhu Fu say that he asked his housekeeper to inform the British Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion and the Wei Mansion of the power in the capital.

In this way, the entire noble circle in the capital will know to sell pig iron at the first time!

The price of pig iron can plummet!

In this way, this first step can be said to be a relatively successful end!

"Zhaotong, do you still buy the shares of Xishan Coal Industry?"

"Of course sell! Your Majesty's golden words, how can the things set be changed at will?

Uncle, I will sell 200,000 shares of Xishan Coal Industry to you at a price of one or two silver shares. If you still want to buy more, five days later, come to the headquarters of the original West Factory, and now the Daming Royal Stock Exchange to buy! ”

"Two hundred thousand shares? What is it? ”

Zhu Fu didn't understand Li Zhaotong's words, after all, he was not a traverser, where did he know what stocks.

"Oh, that's right, uncle, what about Xishan Coal Industry, split the shares into 10 million shares, and 200,000 shares is two percent of the equity."

Li Zhaotong explained lightly.

However, this set off a storm in Zhu Fu's heart, and he muttered:

"Ten million copies! Sizzle! Doesn't this mean that Xishan Coal Industry is worth 10 million taels of silver! That's more than my taxes in a year! ”

"Uncle, based on the current situation, it is estimated that Xishan Coal Industry can transfer 300 to 4 million taels of silver a year!

If dividends are paid, it will take more than two years to return to the capital.

You say, "Is it expensive to sell for one tael of silver a share?" ”

Li Zhaotong seduced.

"It's not expensive...... Wrong! ”

When Zhu Fu said this, he suddenly woke up, and he coughed:

"Ahem! Zhaotong, you can't deceive your uncle, can you really do it if you earn three or four million taels of silver a year? ”

"Of course!"

Li Zhaotong stood up proudly and added:

"If my uncle doesn't believe me, you can investigate and see if that's the case.

Moreover, this is Your Majesty's business, Your Majesty has no need to lie to you! ”

The nephew's words were all said about this, plus the emperor's factors, Zhu Fu couldn't believe it, he chose to believe it firmly, and then his smile became a little kind, he said:

"Zhaotong! I'm your uncle, can't you sell more shares to your uncle? Don't worry, your uncle can get the money. ”

Li Zhaotong shook his head with certainty, and then said seriously:

"Uncle, no!

In order to ensure the normal operation and controlling stake of Xishan Coal Industry, this time, His Majesty and my father only took out 40% of the shares of Xishan Coal Industry, that is, 4 million shares to sell, and you get 200,000 shares, which is already a lot!

You know, Your Majesty is ready to pull a lot of people into the chariot to stabilize the price of iron!

If you take more, the others won't get enough.

My nephew, for the sake of your uncle, came to visit you first, and gave you some more stocks.

I'm just running errands for His Majesty, and I've really tried my best to come up with so much. ”

"Oh well! How many shares do you have left, and can you sell some to your uncle? Zhu Fu was still unwilling.

"Uncle, although my family still has 20% of the shares left, but whether these 20% of the shares can be sold, I said it doesn't count, my father also said it doesn't count, then it has to be said by His Majesty, after all, this is related to His Majesty's control of Xishan Coal Industry, so there is really no way!"

Of course, Li Zhaotong refused to sell, and he continued to fake his might.

But Zhu Fu was obviously unwilling, he fell silent, and there was a look of displeasure on his face.

Seeing Zhu Fu like this, Li Zhaotong was not angry and reversed, and secretly laughed in his heart: "The fish is hooked again." ”

So he said:

"Uncle, so be it! The shares of Xishan Coal, I really can't sell them to you anymore, if you still want to, you can only go to the Daming Royal Stock Exchange behind my house in five days to trade with others.

However, my nephew can give you a compensation here, I can sell you another 200,000 shares of Miyun Mining, which is the only second stock to be listed on the Daming Royal Stock Exchange five days later! ”

"Miyun Mining?!"

This is the only two, whether it is listed or not, and the stock is not a stock, Zhu Fuzhen doesn't understand it very well, and he doesn't plan to understand it.

He only knows that Xishan Coal Industry can make money, so Miyun Mining, which is listed on the Daming Royal Stock Exchange with Xishan Coal Industry, should also be able to make money, after all, the Daming Royal Stock Exchange is named after the royal family, which is related to the reputation of the royal family.

But what is going on with this Miyun Mining?

Zhu Fu was puzzled.

"Well, Miyun Mining!"

Li Zhaotong nodded affirmatively, then got as close to Zhu Fu as possible, and whispered:

"Uncle, my nephew told you a secret in advance, Your Majesty found an easy-to-mine iron ore in Miyun, this Miyun Mining is a trading house established to mine this iron mine, and you should know the benefits of it!"

"This !!"

Zhu Fu's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief:

"This iron ore won't be located on the territory confiscated by His Majesty Hou Ninghou!"

"Hmm."

"Mother! No wonder the two brothers of the Zhang family reacted so much, it turned out that there was such a big trap here, fortunately, Your Majesty was merciful, if the iron of the Miyun Iron Mine was mined and thrown to the capital, then we would not have to die! ”

Zhu Fu was very happy, he knew very well that if the iron in the Miyun Iron Mine, which was located in Shuntian Mansion and only more than a hundred miles away from the capital, was mined, it would inevitably cause the price of iron in the capital to plummet, and those of them who hoarded iron would probably have to die!

"Oh no!"

Zhu Fu remembered something again, and he hurriedly said:

"Zhaotong, wait a minute, I definitely want the shares of Miyun Mining!" I have to tell the housekeeper again, let him quickly sell the hoarded iron in his hand as soon as possible, if the news of Miyun Mining comes out, plus other nobles also sell pig iron, the price of iron will definitely fall faster, I will definitely lose a lot! ”

Zhu Fu hurriedly went to call the housekeeper again.

……

Zhu Fu's behavior was actually expected by Li Zhaotong.

The market of this era, in fact, is not much different from later generations, and the market will fluctuate as soon as there is a wind and grass.

Moreover, the amplitude of the shock is also large and small.

At the beginning, if it was only rumored that iron ore had been discovered in Miyun and was ready to be mined, it would have had little impact on the decline in iron prices in the short term.

Because everyone will think that it is the same reason that you mine iron ore and transport iron ore from other places, it will take time, so in the short term, everyone is not afraid, and the market volatility will be small.

But if everyone is selling hoarded pig iron, and then there is news that an iron ore has been found nearby, it will cause panic in the market.

Because bad news can be superimposed, the more it is superimposed, the more people are afraid, the more afraid they are, it will be some people who do things that lose their minds, and some people who do things that lose their minds, and there will be another layer of bad news, and so on, infinite nesting dolls!

Just ask if you're afraid?

Thinking about this, Li Zhaotong dared to make a request to Emperor Hongzhi with certainty, because he was sure that he could push down the iron price through economic and public opinion means, and he would not make the emperor feel a loss.

Of course, he dared to launch the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, which was also an abacus to promote social progress and renew his life.

Incidentally...... Make some small money that you don't like......
