Chapter 37 Stock Exchange Opening Day
Early in the morning of the second day, there was a crowd of people in front of the head office of Lin'an Daliang Bank. However, this time so many people did not run out, but gathered in front of the notice board in front of the head office.
Li Dashan made a decision at home that day that day not to go to the bank to withdraw the 200 yuan deposit even when everyone was running. But afterwards, I was still a little uneasy, so I came to Lin'an with Han Bao, who was purchasing farm tools, in a few days.
After entering the city, Li Dashan asked Han Bao to go to the market and went straight to the bank.
When he arrived at the door of the bank, Li Dashan squeezed through the crowd to the notice board with great effort, but he couldn't read a basket of words, and he looked at the people around him, looking at the notice with a blank face, and didn't know anything.
Only a polite old man stared at the announcement in black and white, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Li Dashan arched his hand at the old man and said, "This old gentleman, may I ask what does this notice say?" ”
"The imperial court is now selling 9 percent of the shares of Daliang Bank in the form of shares, allowing private trading to be acquired, and the one with the highest price will get it."
As soon as the old man spoke, the others were afraid of missing a word, so they all pricked up their ears and listened to him continue: "The issue price is ten cents per share, and the minimum sale is one hundred shares. The person who purchases the shares is a shareholder of Daliang Bank, and can enjoy the bank's annual dividends according to the shares held, and can also attend the bank's annual shareholders' meeting. Before the establishment of the stock market, the bank's shares were temporarily sold by the head office. ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone began to discuss:
"This must be Lord Li's idea again."
"How do you know?"
"It doesn't matter if it's the lottery and the bank before, or the stock now. These are new things that only Master Li can come up with. ”
"If it was Lord Li's idea, then it would definitely be right to follow him. I'll go back and get the money. ”
"I'll go back too!"
……
The crowd dispersed instantly, leaving only the old man shouting, "Don't go!" I'm not done yet, but if you have a deposit in the bank, you can entrust the bank to buy it. You don't have to go home to get your money! ”
It's a pity that the old man's words were only heard by Li Dashan, who had not yet left, and he walked directly into the bank.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Dashan saw President Li Daxing sitting at the counter in person.
Finally waited for the first guest of the day, which made Li Yue a little surprised, he didn't know that the people gathered at the door dispersed to go home to get money, and thought that no one was interested in stocks.
It was easy to wait for the first one to enter the door, Li Yue said to Li Dashan very enthusiastically: "This customer, do you want to withdraw cash?" Or buy stocks? ”
"I have 200 yuan in deposits, all of which have been exchanged for shares of Daliang Bank."
"Thank you so much for your support of our stock business!" Li Yue's tone was already a little excited, but in the spirit of being responsible for customers, he still reminded kindly: "But the stock market is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market!" ”
"What are the risks of following Master Li?" Li Dashan said very dissatisfied: "There will be nothing wrong with following Master Li. ”
"Master Li is also human!" Li Yue looked disapproving, "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" He's not a god either, and he's going to make mistakes. ”
After Li Yue finished speaking, the widow Ting, Yuan'er and the other bank staff next to her were all suffocating their cheeks, wanting to laugh but couldn't laugh.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Isn't Master Li as good as you? The person in front of him actually dared to say bad things about his father-in-law, Li Dashan said very dissatisfied: "Do you want to sell the stocks?" ”
"Sell! Sell! Sell! Li Yue nodded and said, "Take this customer to the stock trading floor." ”
"Please!" Yuan'er stretched out her hand and said: "The stock market has not yet chosen an address, so the trading hall is temporarily located in the bank's treasury, please forgive me." ”
Li Dashan followed Yuan'er out of the front room of the bank and asked, "Who was that person just now?" It's so disrespectful to Master Li! ”
"He is the Qipin Dynasty Invitation Lang who is like a god, and Li Yue, the president of Daliang Bank."
What Yuan'er said was an understatement, but Li Dashan was shocked into a cold sweat! Do you have to go back to compensate Master Li, Yuan'er said with a smile:
"No need! Master Li won't care, he's always been informal. ”
Li Dashan thought about Li Yue's unorthodox appearance just now, and felt that what the girl said was right, so he dispelled the idea of going back to Li Yue to apologize.
Li Dashan followed Yuan'er into a stock trading hall converted into a bank treasury and found a blackboard on the wall of the hall. There is a row of tables in front of the blackboard, and behind each table sits a staff member. Across the table are five or six rows of chairs.
Yuan'er said to Liang Youtian, who was sitting behind the table on the far left, "This guest officer wants to use all the savings in the bank to buy stocks. ”
"Dare to ask this guest officer's name?" Liang Youtian asked as he flipped through the ledger.
"Li Dashan."
Liang Tiantian found Li Dashan's name on the ledger and stroked it for a while, and then said: "You are the first shareholder to buy the shares of Daliang Bank, and I will settle it for you according to the issue price." One share is ten cents, and a deposit of 200 yuan can buy 20,000 shares. ”
"Daliang Bank, two hundred lots to buy, the entrusted price, ten Wen!" A bank staff member next to Liang Youtian immediately shouted.
Li Dashan, you saw another staff member pick up a small white short stick at this time, which was a simple chalk made by Li Yue out of quicklime. I saw the staff member walk up to the blackboard and write the relevant transaction information.
"Two hundred hands?" Li Dashan was a little incomprehensible.
"A minimum of 100 shares of stock is sold, and 100 shares is a lot." Liang Youtian explained with a smile: "The stock is still being printed, because the quantity is huge. After 10 days, you can come to the bank to pick it up, or you can entrust us with safekeeping without any charge. ”
Li Dashan nodded, then turned around to leave. Before he could go out of the door, a large crowd rushed in and shouted:
"I'm going to buy stocks, a hundred times!"
"I want it too, fifty times!"
……
"Everyone, don't be impatient! Please take a seat first! Liang Youtian bowed his hand to everyone, and after everyone was seated, he continued: "There are too many people, but the number of shares is limited. Therefore, it can only be obtained by the price. Bidders may raise their hands to speak. ”
As soon as Liang Youtian finished speaking, someone raised his right arm high and said, "I'll give 12 wen and buy 10,000 shares!" ”
"Daliang Bank, 100 lots to buy, the transaction price is 12 Wen!" The clerk who recorded the ticket immediately shouted.
"I'll pay 15 yuan and buy 20,000 shares!"
"Daliang Bank, two hundred first buys, the transaction price is fifteen!"
……
The transaction information on the blackboard is rapidly updated, and the stock price of Daliang Bank is also constantly climbing to new heights. By the time of closing, Daliang Bank's share price had reached 54 shares. On the first trading day of the opening, it more than quadrupled the issue price!
