Chapter XXXVIII

At dusk, the streets at dusk have a special style, and when it is time to get off work, the number of pedestrians on the street has increased significantly, and an artist is graffiti on the wall.

"I really want to immigrate here!"

Licking the ice cream in his hand, Gao Jingxuan stretched her waist, her slender figure was undoubted, Joseph Xu realized that he shouldn't look too much at the towering chest, and couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window, this action made Gao Jingxuan couldn't help laughing.

"I think you should meet the standards of the immigration bureau, if you are not satisfied with the life in Taiwan, you can immigrate to Nord at any time, and I welcome your arrival on behalf of the Principality of Nord."

"There will come a day, and I believe that sooner or later Nord will become the most desirable place in the world to immigrate."

Gao Jingxuan's words, Joseph didn't speak, just smiled lightly, because silence is the best answer. There was also a period of time when he went out, and the guard on the side stepped forward to remind him to see the sunset, and Joseph stood up.

"It's not early, I'll arrange for someone to send you back!"

"Isn't the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nord ready to invite us to dinner?"

"Are you sure?"

Joseph's casual rhetorical question reminded Gao Jingxuan of a series of rules that the palace might have, so she couldn't help but shake her head and asked a question that shouldn't be asked: "Will we meet again?" ”

"Of course, we're friends."

"Thank you!"

Thank you for some reason, Joseph seemed to understand her meaning, smiled and turned away, a large number of guards followed behind, and the figure gradually disappeared into the street......

"Jing Xuan, he is the Grand Duke of Nord."

"He's a nine-year-old."

Gao Jingxuan knew very well what her companion's warning meant, and her answer was the best explanation, and her companion was stunned for a moment before remembering. Oh, yes! The age gap is a bit big, and it seems that I misunderstood.

……

In mid-April 1981, the first stock of the Nord Exchange appeared on the trading board, not a company of the Nord Royal Group, but the first slaughterhouse in the northern city district.

The slaughterhouse has a history of nine months, and at the beginning of the establishment of Beicheng District, its profit was the highest in Nord, and the three shareholders of the slaughterhouse were also the earliest richest people in the Nord Principality, even if the workshops and factories in the Nord Principality have increased more than ten times compared to the beginning, but the profits of the slaughterhouse have been in the middle of the Nord.

Due to the increase in the number of Chinese workers and citizens, the daily consumption of meat in the Duchy of Nord is more than ten times or even hundreds of times that of the original, and although a second or third slaughterhouse has appeared, its position has always been very stable.

Naturally, it could not be a slaughterhouse, but the meat company was its new name, because its board of directors had already approved new projects before going public, and cooked meat and sausages were their new products.

This time, the meat company took out 35 percent of the shares, divided into one million shares, and its initial stock price was $5, because it was the first public company, and Joseph here is also paying attention to the meat company.

"Your Highness, the meat company has sold 600,000 shares, and the exchange reports that the citizens are very enthusiastic about buying, and the stock price is showing signs of improvement."

"Your Highness, all one million shares of the meat company have been sold, and the stock price at this time is $5.2."

"Your Highness, the meat company share price has increased and is now at $5.4."

……

By the end of the night, the meat company's stock price had reached $10.5, a result that Joseph was very satisfied, the shareholders were very satisfied, and the shareholders of the meat company were very excited, because their value had doubled in one afternoon, and it was only a matter of time before they became millionaires.

The enthusiasm of NORD citizens has led companies to step up their plans to go public, but there are also some inferior companies, whose listing will inevitably discourage NORD citizens' enthusiasm for the stock market, which is unavoidable, even if the exchange has tried its best to increase the rigor of the audit team.

The situation in the stock market led the Cabinet, especially the Ministry of Commerce, to submit an application for Joseph's consent to let the Audi A1 be listed, because only then would it attract a large amount of foreign capital, which would bring a lot of assistants to the economy of the Nord principality, especially in favor of Joseph's plan.

Sales of the Audi A1 have exceeded one million units by April, and the number of sales is increasing exponentially every month, so Audi AG is preparing to increase the second and third workshops, and wants to completely exceed the annual production of 3 million units by the end of this year.

In just half a year, Audi's total transaction volume was $13.1 billion, of which $3.8 billion was in profit, making Audi the third largest car company in Europe and one of the top 10 in the world. Joseph believes that if this profit list is published, it will not be a problem for Audi to increase its listed assets tenfold.

The application of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Commerce Joseph hesitated for three days and finally chose to agree, but he wanted to wait until later, after all, the situation on the Nord Exchange is not very clear now.

In fact, for Audi, it is in the best interest to go public in the United States, after all, it is the center of Western finance, and listing there can better obtain financing. Unfortunately, Audi is not an individual, and it also has an important responsibility to increase the visibility of the NORD stock exchange.

The listing of Audi is undoubtedly a major event, the entire cabinet and the Ministry of Commerce are in intense preparations, in this case, April slowly passed, the Nord stock exchange at the end of April has reached 80 listed companies, some French tycoons, English aristocrats have also begun to look at the Nord this small stock market trading center.

In May, a major event occurred in Europe, and James hurried to Paris to attend a meeting on the formation of the European Union, but Joseph was not optimistic about this meeting, because European countries had only just begun to make contacts, and trust was not at all.

Joseph didn't pay attention to the formation of the European Union for the time being, he was still like that, and the most concerned about it every day was the Nord stock market trading center, which at this time had turned six Nord citizens into millionaires, and it is worth saying that all six of them were engaged in the clothing industry.

The first Nord fashion show will start on May 28, and Joseph is sure that the share price of the company will rise to new heights after that date.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, as of May 1981, there were 10 private enterprises with assets of 10 million yuan in the Principality of Nord, of which three were clothing companies, one tourism company, one foreign trade company, two food companies, one taxi company and two retail supermarket chains.

Nord's GDP in April was $70 million, and the average annual salary per capita was $1,300, an increase of 90 percentage points over last year.

But then the laborers are also very satisfied, $600 is equivalent to about ¥1100, at this time the living standard of Huaxia is only how much? The annual salary is only three or four hundred, and the consumption level of the Nord Principality is not very high.

Of course, it is not high in relative terms, if you go to a luxury store to consume, it is estimated that they will not be able to buy a mid-grade item in their annual salary, this is the national situation of the Nord Principality at this time, and the consumption gap is different!

The Central District will soon be the economic center of the Duchy of Nord, where luxury shops, five-star hotels, casinos, yacht clubs and other luxury stores will be located, while ordinary shops and hotels will be located on the Nord Royal Island, the Industrial Park and the North Town.

The disparity between the rich and the poor is not a good thing, but it is something that cannot be avoided in a country, and Joseph's goal is to let them minimize their own influence and not let the citizens have too much resentment.
