The tour guide stopped his obscenity and wiped his saliva: "Look, we have entered the Huangpu River, there are very few embankments and buildings on both banks, which are all reserved for the construction of better functional buildings in the future and reinforced foundations, many concrete foundation pillars that are five or six zhang deep into the ground are prepared for the future construction of high-rise buildings." Trees such as willow and camphor trees at the water's edge are specially cultivated landscaping belts and artificial barriers that indicate future planning, and future roads, residential areas, shops, workshops, factories, docks, warehouses and other areas are divided by the lattice formed by trees, which means that future buildings can only be built in the area divided by these seedlings, why is this? The reason is very simple, it is all for the purpose of reducing the cost of the city's green belt and supporting facilities in the future. There is space and land reserved for underground sewers and possible underground structures to be built in the future (Lee Ki wants to build inhabitable sewers and extremely spacious subway space).

The Shanghai business that we are about to arrive has been successfully declared, and it has been changed to Xinjing County, and the facilities on the wharf are the machinery and yamen that all our commercial personnel will have to deal with in the future. All the high-rise buildings built and under construction on the Bund on the west bank are the headquarters and office buildings of various financial companies in East China under the Chenji Group.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first building on our right hand is the Bund No. 1 Building, which is the headquarters building of the Imperial Import and Export Company, which is the latest government-run trading firm, mainly responsible for the import and export trade of the Eastern and Southern Seas by the official supervision bureaus of the Great Song Empire, and the goods exported are mainly specialties from all over the country. Since the change of labor service to the joint establishment of various road supervision bureaus by the government and business, the style of officials to the people and buying has basically disappeared (for example, the annual labor and joint purchase quota of various silk workshops and spinners in Suzhou has been changed to the Suzhou Manufacturing Bureau's purchase, and the shareholders of the Suzhou Manufacturing Bureau are the officials and scribes of the relevant yamen). The purchase price is auctioned at a reduced price, and whichever company offers the lowest price can cover the procurement target for the whole year. This is often a joint venture between the government and business, especially represented by Chenji's major manufacturing enterprises. This restructuring made it unnecessary for the officials of the yamen to touch the meat in their own pots, but would keep an eye on the internal accounts of the manufacturing bureau to prevent themselves from suffering losses. The original motive of appropriating the fruits of the labor of the artisan households who bear the burden of labor and buying the quota without compensation becomes the motive of earning government procurement funds together).

The business of importing, trading, and exporting goods from all parts of the Great Song Dynasty was agreed to be handed over to this company by the imperial court and various yamen. Therefore, if you want to buy high-grade overseas goods in the future, you will have to look for it, and if you want to export some prohibited goods and scarce goods in China, you should also look for it.

Building No. 2 is Pudao Rating Company, which is said to have been established by the founding son Liu Xin and Liu Zili, who specializes in evaluating the business conditions and credit of various companies, and relies on the collection of appraisal fees to make profits. Anyone who has passed the rating of this company can easily obtain various qualifications such as operating rights and licenses.

This company is to disclose all kinds of information, guide the financial transparency of each customer's bank number, and establish a leading platform for credit and strength display. As long as you can get a first-class rating, you can be qualified to become the industry leader set by the imperial court, and all industries can be opened, whether it is brewing wine or dealing in salt and iron, taxes and loans can enjoy great discounts and preferential treatments!

Even if you can mix with a fifth-class grade at the bottom of the first-class grade, you can also issue corporate bonds at a parity on the bond exchange, and the monthly interest rate of the bond can be reduced to about 1%! ”

The guide's explanation was immediately interrupted by the businessmen who had heard of such a strange story for the first time. The businessmen who asked questions were like reporters interviewing important celebrities and walking out of the courthouse, squeezing in front of the tour guide and asking questions loudly, almost squeezing the tour guide into the Huangpu River.

"It's all quiet! I don't want to go ashore anymore. I continued to explain that if you have any questions, you can wait until you get off the ship and go to these companies to ask yourself!

The towering eight-story building below is the futures exchange we are most concerned about. We can see the clock tower on the top floor, which automatically rings the bell every time the trading hours and the trading stop time to remind the market to open and close. The fan-shaped glass door and all the glass windows cost as much as 1 million yuan, the trading hall area inside is ten acres, there is no pillar in the hall to support, each trading seat can buy and sell all futures varieties, the automatic quotation of the mechanical quotation table can see the latest price of all varieties in time. Quotation buying and selling can change the price on the quotation table in the form of manual quotation. All opening prices are opened through the call price, and the price after the opening is generated by continuous auction, and the call auction generated by all buy and sell orders five minutes before the close of trading determines the closing price. The market opens as soon as the hour arrives in the morning and closes until the end of the afternoon bid.

The six-storey No. 4 building is the bond exchange building, which buys and sells public and private bonds instead of futures, and only bonds with a rating of three C or above can be bought and sold here, and the rules are the same as those in No. 3 building. The face value of each bond is 1,000 yuan, the maturity and interest rate are different, and the price follows the market supply and demand.

This ten-storey high-rise building is a stock exchange, and the rules are the same as Building No. 3, but the trading here is the shares of the member lines approved by the general meeting of the exchange, and a basic unit is one share, some firms are large-scale, issuing hundreds of thousands of shares, and each share is always worth hundreds of thousands of shares, and some firms make money quickly, and a share is sought after as soon as it is listed, and the price rises to dozens of times the issue price. The mystery is still up to you. The tour guide, who had benefited from the stock, couldn't help but snicker.

"Although this building is only five floors, it covers an extremely large area, as much as 60 acres. That's right, it's the Chenji Bank headquarters building that you see on the signboard. Do you see the material of this building? Unlike the previous buildings, which were built of granite and bluestone bricks, the main building materials of this building are prefabricated concrete formwork, that is, large prefabricated parts made of cement, steel and crushed stone are spliced together. Even in the event of a flood and the earth dragon turning over, this building will not be damaged in the slightest, and it can be described as indestructible. The training envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road Regiment who once visited said that as long as the gate is closed, it will be difficult for 5,000 people to break through within two days. The inner vault is buried fifty zhang underground, and it is said that tens of thousands of taels of gold and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are stored in the vault, and the copper coins are innumerable, estimated to be tens of millions. ”

As soon as they heard this number, many local tyrants were shocked. With only tens of thousands of family fortunes, you can walk sideways in your hometown, tens of millions of cash! Astronomical numbers that I couldn't have ever dreamed of. But when I thought about it, I was relieved, the money was not Chenji's family, and ninety percent belonged to various depositors. Thinking about it again, no, this is just a head office, and the branches in the major cities of the Great Song Dynasty range from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions like Bianjing, and hundreds of branches and branches add up, isn't there tens of thousands. Isn't the money in the treasury of Chenji Bank several times or even more than ten times that of the national treasury? "Ladies and gentlemen, the next building is Building No. 7, the Registration and Settlement Center......

An hour later, the tour guide who explained the many buildings and street scenes of the Bund led many local tyrants to the destination, Building 49 ---- the Oriental Shenzhou Hotel. Standing in the lobby of this twelve-storey luxury hotel, the local tyrants seemed to be suffocated. On the second night, the local tyrants exchanged their observations and thoughts. Snow-white leather sofas, gilded tea sets, sterling silver tableware, mirrored marble floor tiles, crystal chandeliers, spacious and bright cafeterias, rattle waiters, and give whatever you want to eat, these are all top luxury goods and services that have never been seen before. All textiles are extremely expensive and high-end goods, Persian camel hair carpets, fog gauze curtains, silk and cotton blend printed cloth sheets, batik blue and white bedspreads, color-dyed tablecloths, lace napkins, silk pajamas are the best. Running water, all the appliances in the bathroom, the refrigerator, the Simmons bed, the eye mask, and other things basically subverted the goal of the local tyrant's pursuit of life. There is no one who has enjoyed the sauna and spa and other special projects that do not want to go for the second time. Merchants have a deep understanding of the definition of home away from home.

It's impossible for anyone to calculate the price of these things and services, let alone the value of the entire hotel. When the tour guide announced that the price of the standard room where the local tyrants lived was fifty yuan a day, and the accommodation cost would be borne by the hosts such as Chenji Group until the end of the celebration, the local tyrants were full of joy and sorrow. Sadly, I don't have enough money to live here, but I'm glad that I can continue to enjoy it for a few nights. After all, a standard room equivalent to 7,500 yuan a night is not acceptable to the average rich person.

After the celebration, all the guests and invited investors expressed their desire to book suites at all levels of the hotel, and asked whether long-term residents could get discounts or long-term rentals to be accommodated. The street behind the hotel is a shopping street full of specialty stores, and all kinds of sub-shops selling items seen inside the hotel make the local tyrant who wants to have a hotel-like environment at home empty every copper plate in his pocket. This is a platform for the southeast roads to publicize the strength of Chenji and the emerging home life model, and the Pinjin Grottoes in Bianjing are known as the two top consumer holy places, which are all efficient gold-absorbing artifacts for robbing all the rich people within the radiation range.
