"Tianyang, this can't be done, our shipyard itself is a money-making business, why bother to cheapen outsiders and let them share our interests?"

Gan Dabiao of the Finance Bureau has stayed in the position of director of the bureau for many years, but he has developed in the direction of Scrooge, and in the face of the task given by Li Tianyang, he immediately found Li Tianyang, relying on the friendship that he grew up with since childhood, and made an angry objection.

Looking at the old friend's once thin figure, but now it is gradually starting to bless, Li Tianyang looks a little funny, compared to Wu Jie, Zhang Yuyan and these old friends are in charge alone, Gan Dabiao is the buddy who has been with Li Tianyang for the longest time.

"Why not?"

Li Tianyang asked rhetorically: "Some time ago, Yang Zhi of Bengang Shipyard proposed a budget plan to build another branch factory, but your Finance Bureau rejected it because of insufficient finances, so why don't you allow the shipyard to raise funds to build it again?" ”

"The financial difficulties are only temporary, with our government's tax revenue and Qixintang's earning power, there will be enough funds to build a new branch in two or three years!"

"Now you sell the shares of the shipyard is like selling a golden rooster that lays golden eggs, isn't that a loss-making deal?"

Gan Dabiao also did not give an inch, and gave the answer to Li Tianyang's questioning that he thought was correct.

"Then let's settle the score, shall we?"

Li Tianyang smiled, confronted Gan Dabiao head-on, and was ready to use facts to convince each other, and when he was alone with Gan Dabiao, Wu Jie and other old friends, Li Tianyang could have the mood of getting along now. The so-called high place is not cold, many times even if Li Tianyang puts on a peaceful posture to face others, others dare not get along freely in front of Li Tianyang.

"As you said, our financial shortage in Hongmen is only temporary, according to the most optimistic situation, our finances will be re-enriched in two years, and then the funds for the construction of the shipyard branch will be approved, plus the time spent on construction, it will take at least a year and a half."

"In other words, it will take more than three and a half years for this branch to be put into operation, do you admit this fact?"

Li Tianyang took out a pen and paper to write and draw, calculated with detailed numbers, gave an approximate time calculation, and then looked up at Gan Dabiao and waited for his reply.

"I admit it!" Gan Dabiao nodded, but he didn't quite understand the reason why Li Tianyang gave this answer.

"Then let's remove the time required for construction, if we now issue enough shares on the exchange to build a branch factory to raise funds, then with the enthusiasm of the current people and businessmen, it must not take half a month for the funds we need to be in place, or even less."

"With the funds, we can start construction in time, so in the two years of this delay, we can earn more than 150,000 silver dollars in profits with a branch factory, which is 300,000 in two years, plus a shipyard that we have earned for nothing, you calculate this account yourself, are we losing or earning?"

Li Tianyang and the others' arguments were reasonable, which made Gan Dabiao a little speechless for a while, but then he came back to his senses and found out the flaws in it to refute: "But every year in the future, we have to distribute profits to those investors who have invested in our factory?" ”

"If it is calculated in the long run, we will still lose in the end!"

Gan Dabiao's rebuttal is not unreasonable, but in Li Tianyang's view, this is a bit short-sighted, and it seems that the concept of the factory shareholding system is still a little too advanced for people in this era.

"That's what you think!"

Li Tianyang slowly said some of the truths he summed up: "The value of the shares we issue, as well as the stock prices that will be speculated by investors in the future, can actually be used by us in the future as a pledge to borrow money from Nanyang Bank, but it invisibly raises our own value." ”

"Moreover, it doesn't mean that we can't buy back the shares we sold in the future, as long as we do it properly, in fact, we can still take back the shares we sold at the right time!"

Although Li Tianyang did not think about buying back shares after he wanted to let the shipyard enter the market at the beginning, in order to persuade Gan Dabiao, Li Tianyang drew such a pie as a reason to persuade the other party.

"Uh......"

Gan Dabiao fell into deep thought, but he didn't expect that the operation of this exchange could act like this, if it was from the perspective of Li Tianyang convincing himself, the listing of this shipyard may not be a happy thing.

"Does that mean that we can actually set the value of our shares at a high level from the beginning, so that the value of our shipyard will increase sharply from the beginning?"

Gan Dabiao is indeed worthy of a master with a lot of brains, and after being enlightened by Li Tianyang at this time, he put forward a suggestion that made Li Tianyang cry and laugh.

"This ......"

Li Tianyang fell into contemplation, and finally looked up and gave a definite answer: "This is naturally no problem, as long as someone asks who is willing to accept this price, then there is no problem with how high we set the stock price." ”

"But what I want to warn you is that any act of raising funds should be reasonable and legal, and there is also a supervisory committee behind the Keelung Exchange, which has strict monitoring and punishment for encouraging false price increases, I hope you don't set this stock price too much!"

Fortunately, in this era, most of the members who are willing to participate in the investment are interested in becoming shareholders of a certain factory or store, looking forward to a year or a few years of pink, and the associated increase in the value of the shares.

Therefore, even if the factory owners and store owners increase the value of their factories and stores slightly, but with the existence of the Supervision Committee, these things will not change and affect the long-term development of the exchange.

"You can rest assured of this!"

Gan Dabiao got up and walked back with great interest and hurried to implement this matter with Ren of the Ministry of Finance and the Keelung Exchange, but completely forgot that the purpose of his original purpose in arguing with Li Tianyang was to prevent Li Tianyang from selling the shares of Bengang Shipyard.

With less than half a month after this incident, the news of the sale of its shares by Bengang Shipyard spread throughout the business circles within the Hongmen, which in turn caused the crowd in front of the Keelung Exchange to wait eagerly, with a large amount of money in their hands ready to wait for this day to really come.
