It was not only the Dengzhou shipyard that was rushing to work day and night in the Denglai area, Zhang Chu tried his best to get all the money and materials from all over the place and invested them in the expansion of various factories. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chinese have a tradition of saving money, people are accustomed to hiding every tael of silver earned in various hidden corners, and the rich have built cellars and silver caves, which are partly due to the untimely needs of future life, and the lack of better investment channels is the ultimate reason.

Zhang Chu's stock exchange has provided an opportunity for people in Jinan to make money with money, and now every day there are many people around there to watch the stock prices changing on the blackboard hung out by the exchange, some of them are stock holders, seeing that the stock price has risen again, thinking that they have more money, and they are secretly happy in their hearts, and more people are just here to see the excitement, and if they also buy stocks, they will make a lot of money.

However, this does not prevent them from spreading all kinds of gossip.

"Have you heard? The security company is going to build a new factory in Shandong, and as soon as the new factory starts, the shares will rise. ”

"Your news is too backward, I went to see, the new factory is built outside the city of Jinan, where the construction of houses has started, and build a dam on the small river next to it, and then lead the river water to the factory to drive the loom to weave cloth, you say that the river water flows day and night, and does not use labor, so that the river water weaving can not make money."

"Let me tell you an official news, I have a friend who works in the governor's yamen, he said, recently the emperor just issued a holy decree to praise the governor Zhu, and fully support the counterattack on Liaodong, it is said that it is because Lord Zhu mobilized a lot of materials in Shandong to help Dengzhou."

"So what does this have to do with us making money?"

"You are stupid, what is the use of Lord Zhu's money and goods in Dengzhou, it must be used to train troops and build ships to transport troops, otherwise how can you get to Liaodong, shipbuilding is the work of the shipyard, and the stock of the shipyard is not crazy now."

"It's good, but it's a pity that we started late, and now the stocks are in the hands of people who bought early, and they don't sell, you see the price rises, but no one sells, we just watch others get rich but don't have a chance." The words of one of them suppressed everyone's high emotions, after all, it was only a minority who bought stocks.

Seeing that everyone was silent, an old man in the crowd said unfathomably: "Don't worry, there is always an opportunity to make money, mainly depending on whether you are bold enough." ”

"Tell me what the opportunity is, it's bolder to make money." All of a sudden, everyone became interested again.

The old man looked at the people around him and said in a low voice: "You must keep this matter secret and not spread it, as soon as there are more people, we will have fewer opportunities." ”

"Say something!" The people around him urged.

"In a few days, the stock exchange will issue new shares, and this time the issuance is very large and the yield is higher."

"What kind of company's shares are going to be issued this time, and can you make money?" The people next to him were interested, and the three stocks on the exchange have risen a lot compared to when they were first sold, and if they can buy new stocks, it is a sure thing to make a profit.

"I can only tell you that the name of this stock is 'Ocean Stocks', and I can't say anything else." The old man pretended to be mysterious.

"There are also those who do business, just tell a name, they don't even know where the company is, what they do, and then they take the money and run away, and we don't even know who to sue, isn't this a lie." Some people in the crowd are very indignant, and finally have a new way to make money, and they may be scammers.

"Or I'll tell you it's risky. This risk is not that there is a possibility of being deceived. This business is said to be run by Lord Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and will never cheat everyone out of money, the risk refers to the fact that the business they do is very dangerous, the sea is changing, if you encounter a shipwreck, then you will lose all your money, but the interests here are indeed too high, I am fortunate to have read the company's articles of association, it dividends according to the number of times it goes to sea, and the fleet will share a dividend every time it returns to the port, as long as it can be divided into two reds, you can earn back the capital, and it is impossible for so many ships to be all gone at once. Say too much, talk too much, everyone just don't hear it, don't spread the word, the court still prohibits this going to sea. The old man felt that his words were a little too much today, and he stopped talking about this.

"Now the risks at sea are not so terrible, in the south, Zheng Zhilong's fleet sailed to Luzon and other places to do business, and the fleet of Yiren sailed thousands of miles to my Daming." Someone next to him took over the conversation.

"But what if you encounter pirates, wouldn't it be a loss if the ship and cargo were robbed."

"I'm not afraid." The old man who spoke just now couldn't help but speak again: "This fleet is composed of several large ships, there are many people, and each ship is equipped with artillery and muskets, it is said that it is called armed merchant ships, and it is difficult to say who will defeat whom, and it is stipulated in the charter that the property seized from defeating pirates will also be distributed as dividends. ”

The enthusiasm of the crowd was aroused. China is good at saving money and gambling at the same time, these two different personalities perfectly appear in the same nation, some people say that Chinese do not have the spirit of adventure, in fact, Chinese are not willing to take risks before seeing the benefits, like this kind of do not need to be in danger, as long as you take out money to gamble, you may get rich, everyone still likes to do.

Many of the people present were attracted by the high reward and went back to find a way to prepare the silver.

A few days later, the "Ocean Stock" was listed on the stock exchange, and it didn't take long for it to sell out. The people who bought it were elated, and those who didn't buy it blamed themselves for making up their minds late, and everyone consciously didn't mention what this stock was for, and now the stock exchange has become a good place for everyone to make a fortune, and everyone thinks that they will be the next lucky ones, and they don't want to ruin their chances.

A lot of the silver from the sale of the stock was sent to Weihai, where it was to be used to buy and build ships. In order to make a profit as soon as possible, Zhang Chu formed an offshore company with ships that could go to the sea, and the company's fleet had already set off for the Wa Kingdom when the shares began to be sold, and if this trade was successful, it would stimulate stock buyers, and it would be easier to issue new shares in the future.

Although the armed forces are important to Zhang Chu, if there is no economic base, the team will disperse or become a thief, so Zhang Chu is always trying to make money, and Zhang Chu also hopes to pull more people into his camp and expand the base of his regime.

The merchant ships were all sent out, and Zhang Chu, the warship under his hand, didn't want them to be idle, so after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Chu decided to take the fleet to suppress bandits in the Bohai Sea, and then go to the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong's former nest.
