"Since Huang Zongxi presided over the second round of the Tian Fu Reform Law, the land prices of the empire have been rising, and even the land prices of the two feudal divisions of Heilongjiang and Jilin have also increased slightly." Zhang Guoji said.

"The situation of the Heilongjiang and Jilin feudal divisions is different from that of the two feudal divisions of central Myanmar and Yangon, where the retired soldiers resettled in Heilongjiang and Jilin all have families, while nearly half of the retired soldiers resettled in the two provinces of central Myanmar and Yangon have no families. Some of the soldiers who had no family were not interested in farming after retiring, but were even more interested in becoming soldiers again. Liu Qi explained.

After the first batch of soldiers were retired, Zhu Youxiao retired two batches of soldiers one after another, so that half of the army of the entire empire was replaced with new blood. Zhu Youxiao is now implementing the policy of recruiting new soldiers once every three years and retiring a group of veterans every three years, using this method to ensure that the empire maintains the spirit of martial arts.

"When it comes to buying land, I have a piece of advice." Jiang Yan said.

"What advice?" Zhang Guoji asked.

"Royal Shipping's business is too simple, if we only do shipping, the annual profit is limited, I suggest that we can buy a terminal, if the terminal is well run, the profit is not worse than that of shipping, and it will not depreciate." Jiang Yan said.

"Lord Jiang, this suggestion is very good, this Royal Shipping Company can have His Majesty's shares, and His Majesty should agree." Zhang Guoji agreed.

"Uncle, then this matter needs you to come forward." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"When the stock exchange opens, I will go to His Majesty to discuss the matter." Zhang Guoji nodded.

……

On the eighth day of August, the Nanjing Stock Exchange officially opened. Royal Shipping sponsored a grand opening ceremony. Early this morning, there was already a sea of people outside the stock exchange.

However, after the opening of the exchange, there was no immediate transaction, and even the Westerners, who had high hopes today, did not immediately take action, they were waiting and watching. Although they were waiting, it did not mean that they were not interested, and this time even the governor of the East India Company, Van Diman, sent people to attend the opening of the stock exchange.

"Fifty Wen, I want 10 million shares." Just when everyone thought they were going to be cold, a voice came to mind in the audience.

This voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even caused a slight exclamation.

"Xu Xinsu!" Jiang Yan said softly.

"Is that the slave trader?" Zhang Guoji asked.

"Exactly." Jiang Yan nodded.

"I have 10 million shares, I'll sell them to you." Shen Jiang raised his hand and said.

"Deal." Xu Xinsu nodded.

Watching the first deal was done like that, and it was a huge deal. Westerners couldn't sit still, originally Westerners were ventilated and wanted to lower the price.

The British were the first to speak: "Fifty Wen, I want a million shares." ”

"I'll buy you a million shares." Liu Qi said immediately.

"Deal." The Englishman replied.

And so the exchange completed its second transaction.

The Portuguese in the field couldn't sit still, and the Portuguese raised their hands and shouted, "Fifty Wen, I want one million shares." ”

At this time, Liu Qi was about to raise his hand again, but Jiang Yan stopped him, "Wait, let's see." ”

After a while, when the Portuguese saw that there was no reply, he shouted again: "Fifty-one Wen, I want a million shares." ”

The Portuguese raised the price, and the atmosphere in the stadium immediately became enthusiastic.

The Spaniards also raised their hands and shouted: "Fifty-one Wen, I want two million shares." ”

……

"Fifty-five Wen, I want two million shares." Seeing that prices are slowly rising, the Dutch can't sit still at the moment. The Dutchman who shouted was named De Young, a representative sent by the governor of the East India Company, Van Diman, and the richest man in the field.

"Fifty-five Wen, how long has it been since it rose by one percent." The businessmen who watched the excitement in the venue whispered.

"Yes! If Shen Lao sells it now, he will immediately earn an extra 50,000 taels of silver dollars. ”

"I also buy a few thousand shares to play around."

……

The Dutchman's price hike made the atmosphere in the market even more enthusiastic, and the stock price of the shipping company kept rising, and by the end of today's day, the price of the shipping company's stock had risen to 87 yuan. The trading volume on the day reached 23 million shares, and even Zhang Guoji couldn't help but sell one million shares.

Although the trading volume of the stock began to fall off a cliff from the next day, this was due to the fact that there was only one company on the stock exchange, and in just one month, the stock price of the shipping company exceeded 100 Wen, which has doubled from the time of listing.

At this time, shareholders will not consider what price-earnings ratio, the company's future prospects and so on, but blindly follow the trend.

Stocks have become the hottest topic in Nanjing, and they are almost a household name.

"Did you hear that? The stock price of the shipping company has exceeded 100 yuan, and it has doubled in a month, which is the same as grabbing money. ”

"Yes! I heard that the stock of the shipping company is now unmarketable. ”

"Hey! The day before yesterday, I prepared ten taels of silver to buy 100 shares, but I didn't sell them, and I can't buy 100 shares today. ”

"The Empire newspaper says another company will go public next month."

"What company?"

"I heard that it is a trading company, a company specializing in overseas trade, and it is said that Jiang Yan, the richest man in Jiangnan, and Tai Kangbo are a company run together."

"I'm going to grab it anyway this time."

……

Shareholders are concerned about stocks, while big businessmen are concerned about how companies are listed. The success of Royal Seas' IPO has left many people red-eyed, who never thought there would be such a way to make money.

"Moral education, let's go public with the shipyard as well." Pan Shujin said.

"Shujin, you have to think clearly, there are many regulations for this listing, the most important thing is that the finances of the shipyard must be disclosed every year, if it is fraudulent, it will be fined ten times, and even exiled to Leng Zhou, and the heaviest one will be killed." Yuan Deyu said.

"I know it's just a little bit more tax, and if we go public, we're going to make a lot more money than paying taxes, and we can expand the size of the shipyard." Pan Shujin said.

"There are many rules for listing, financial disclosure is only one, and what must be profitable for three years, and there must be more than three listed companies or ten people with knighthoods to provide guarantees, etc." Yuan Deyu said.

"But now there are no three listed companies! And we don't know any of the ten people with the title, which obviously means that private companies are not allowed to go public. Pan Shujin said angrily.

"So there's no need to rush to go public, just wait and see." Yuan Deyu said.
