Chapter 401: An Irresistible Temptation
Chapter 401: The temptation that can't be refused
The British Duke paused and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is really one thing that the minister does not know, that is, why should the shares sold in the future be divided into the merchant surnamed Wang?" Your Majesty, is there a reason in this world to sell other people's things and take money yourself? ”
When the British asked, they looked seriously into the emperor's eyes, hoping that the emperor would not fool him and not lie.
"Oh? Hehehehe, this thing is a thing. Yang Gai replied immediately without hesitation.
"But, Your Majesty, what is the explanation of this?" Zhang Weixian's old face stared at the emperor, hoping to find clues from the emperor's expression.
"Hehehe, could it be that Guogong thinks I will be so stupid to sell my stock and give money to others?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
"This ...... Apparently not, Your Majesty,...... The minister is even more confused? Then this mansion newspaper ......" Zhang Weixian still stared at the emperor's eyes seriously, without blinking, so as not to miss something.
"Hehe, it's true in the newspaper, it's just that the way of calculation is different......" Yang explained reform.
"Is this ......," Zhang Weixian asked after him.
"Hehe, let's not talk about this first, let's talk about it first, how many percent does Guogong plan to invest in? In other words, how many stocks does Guogong have? Yang Gengai turned to ask Zhang Weixian how many shares he planned to buy.
Zhang Weixian hesitated, this question was not clarified, and the matter of shareholding was a bit hanging, but seeing the emperor staring at himself with a smile and asking tightly, it was not easy to say that he would not become a shareholder, and it was not easy to turn the topic back to that question.
“…… This, back to Your Majesty, in fact, it is not the minister's family who wants to take a stake in Liulizhai, everyone thinks that following Your Majesty, following Your Majesty to earn silver, there is a head, so let the old ministers and old ...... "Zhang Weixian began to talk about things, and the problem was not clear, and this silver was not easy to sell.
"Hey......, Guogong, I asked you, how many stocks do you have, what is Guogong doing with other things?" Yang Gengai pretended to be a little unhappy and said.
Seeing that the emperor's face changed a little, Zhang Weixian became nervous again, but don't mess things up, so, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister also asked on behalf of several families, adding up, estimated, there are three or four hundred stocks......" Zhang Weixian saw that the emperor's face changed, so he hurriedly put out his own details.
"Oh, it's only three or four hundred, it's still far from a thousand," Yang Gai said deliberately, thinking in his heart, he knew that you couldn't find a thousand stocks, and now the stocks on the market are only more than one percent in total, if you can get a thousand stocks, then you can only say that you are very patriotic, and when you need money the most, you selflessly dedicate money to yourself to spend.
Zhang Weixian's eyes rolled several times, I didn't know what the emperor meant by this, and I didn't know what the relationship between this far from a thousand and the one who sold stocks to others to pay dividends, and thought about it for a long time and couldn't get the essentials, so he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not have many stocks in his hands, far less than a thousand, this is also the reason why the old minister came to ask His Majesty with a face, Your Majesty, the minister wants to buy some ...... directly with Your Majesty" Zhang Weixian immediately said that he was here to buy stocks from the emperor, we are nobles, we are the princes, It's different from those businessmen outside, those businessmen have no choice but to collect them in the market, but we nobles and princes always have to give some special treatment, right? Your Majesty, you can't put us on the same level as those businessmen and give us the same treatment
"This ......" Yang Reform looked embarrassed, of course, this is pretended, all of this has long been in Yang Reform's planning, the nobles see that it is profitable, they will definitely take a shortcut and find themselves to buy stocks, then, this is easy to operate.
Zhang Weixian saw the emperor's embarrassment, and muttered in his heart, just now the emperor generously said that they were allowed to buy shares, why do you want to regret it now? Said: "Your Majesty is in trouble? ”
Yang Gengai laughed in his heart, what you nobles want to do has long been expected by me, you want to take advantage, this is understandable, you want to invest in Liulizhai, this is a good thing, you want to follow me to make money, this is even more unwanted, however, I also want to use your hands to speculate on Liulizhai's stocks, otherwise, how can I be worthy of my identity as a traverser?
“…… Uh......, how much does Guogong plan to buy? Yang Reform stiffened his face, and flickered Zhang Weixian with an uneasy look.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister and a few together, probably buy one or two percent, too much, can't afford to buy ......" Zhang Weixian saw the emperor frowning this time, with a difficult look, and thought that the emperor had repented, so he hurriedly said his own details, no matter what, it is right to invest in Liulizhai, as for whether the emperor lied to them, this question, think about it in the future, no matter how bad it is, you can get a bonus every year. ,
"Ercheng, ah......" Yang Reform was even more hesitant and difficult to do.
The emperor looks like this, Zhang Weixian becomes more and more nervous the more he looks at it.
"Your Majesty, is it not easy to do?" Zhang Weixian hurriedly asked.
"Guogong, this matter, it is indeed difficult to do, if Guogong is from the market to receive 20% of the stocks, I have no words, immediately to Guogong shares, this is no problem, the problem is, Guogong wants to buy 20% of the shares here, hey......, to be honest, although I divided Liulizhai into a number of shares, and also flowed out some stocks, but I still did not plan to sell Liuli, so I had to leave half of the shares in my hand, otherwise, wouldn't this Liulizhai have to change my surname ......" Yang Gai said with a difficult look.
"But, Your Majesty, you are ......, who would dare to change your surname without your consent." Zhang Weixian heard that Liulizhai was going to change his surname, but he didn't believe the first one, who dared to force the emperor? Don't die, especially this Liulizhai is in the capital, the emperor has a lot of minions, just set up a crime, find some trouble, who can live a stable life?
"Hey...... can't say that, buying and selling is buying and selling, and I will follow the rules of businessmen, otherwise, wouldn't I be dishonest with others, thinking that I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can I do such a thing? Therefore, I have to leave at least half of the shares in my hands, in order to prevent someone from buying more than half of the shares and changing the surname to Liulizhai, this time Guogong will buy 20%, to be honest, I have more than 60% in my hands, so I am embarrassed...... "Yang Reform looked very difficult to do, and explained the matter.
Zhang Weixian was stunned for a long time, feeling that this emperor is still a good citizen who abides by the law, the emperors of previous dynasties, like today, still talk about a rule, and what business things are according to the rules of business affairs, this is simply a strange news in the world, but think about it, and figure it out, now the reputation of this emperor can be described as the sky, loud can no longer sound, in the people, who does not read the emperor's good? The reason why the emperor can have such a good reputation is also related to the emperor's "appearance", "not messing around", "reasonable" and "reliable", if he is an emperor who is full of horses and does not care about the wind, his reputation will never be as good as this, so well-known, so that there is a local killing of officials and seizure of the city without saying a word of rebellion, waiting for the emperor to go to resend officials in the past, this happened, it happened in Shaanxi, thinking of this, Zhang Weixian put away his surprised gaze again, looked at the emperor's gaze, and there was a little more complicated and different, An emperor who talks about rules with his courtiers and people......
"Your Majesty means that the ministers can only buy stocks from the market?" Zhang Weixian said with a discouraged expression, I wanted to find the emperor to go through the back door, but I didn't expect that the emperor told him the rules, saying that he should hold at least fifty percent of the shares in his hand to ensure that Liulizhai did not change his surname.
"Hehe...... yes, didn't Guogong ask me just now, can that businessman surnamed Wang also participate in stock dividends?" After Yang Gai finished talking about his "professional ethics", he turned to talk about "business" and began to fool Zhang Weixian.
"This ......, yes, the minister is asking His Majesty for advice......" Zhang Weixian was very disappointed, he came to the palace this time, but he didn't achieve his goal, which was a small loss, but he couldn't blame himself, who let himself meet an emperor who talked about "rules"? I was remorseful, and when I heard the emperor talk about this again, my brain couldn't turn around for a long time.
"Hehe, that's actually the case, when the businessman surnamed Wang became a shareholder, I found out about this problem, I don't have many extra shares in my hand, if I still sell them, then the shares in my hands will be less than fifty percent, hehe, it's not good to go on like this, I didn't think about losing Liulizhai......" Yang Reform began to fool the old man.
“…… To do business, you still have to abide by the rules of doing business, I don't want to lose my trust in the world, so I thought, what if someone comes to buy shares in the future? After thinking about it, I thought of two ways, the first is to receive a thousand shares in the market to buy shares, then I still do it according to the businessman surnamed Wang, this stock is bought from the market, and I have already paid someone else silver, so there is no matter of dividing the money with the shares, because when I bought the shares, I didn't get a penny of silver, only a stack of shares; The second is that if you don't receive more than 1,000 shares in the market and you want to buy shares, you can do it according to this method, and you can buy stocks from all the people who hold shares......" Yang Gengai said with a smile his plan. ,
Of course, these nobles want to take their own free ride, why don't they want to speculate on stocks with their hands? Just these nobles need to issue nearly twenty percent of the shares, then, the additional shares are counted as the dividends of Liulizhai, and all shareholders are divided, then, this year's dividends of Liulizhai are as high as four million taels, this number is enough to make the entire Ming Dynasty crazy......
Zhang Weixian's already disappointed heart warmed up, it seems that his old face is still useful, and the emperor still pointed out a way for himself and opened a back door.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how is this method done? How do you buy stocks from everyone? Zhang Weixian asked with a glimmer of hope.
"That's the case, the way I think is that if you can't go through the first road in the future, you can take the second way, you can issue additional shares to those who want to invest in Liulizhai, the silver obtained from the additional shares, when the time comes, it will be regarded as the dividend of Liulizhai, and at the end of the year, it will also be issued to all shareholders in the form of dividends, one per share, how many shares you take, how much silver you will share, so that you can buy stocks from everyone." Yang Gengai threw out his own way.
Zhang Weixian has been confused about this complex calculation method, what additional shares, what additional shares of the silver are counted as dividends, confused for a long time, Zhang Weixian has figured out one thing, that is, the silver they invested in Liulizhai this time will be regarded as the dividend at the end of Liulizhai, and will be distributed to the people who hold Liulizhai stocks, one million taels ......, two percent of the stocks, nearly three million taels, two taels of the add, there should be nearly four million taels of dividends......
Zhang Weixian instantly felt that his head was beating hard, and his eyes were wide open, what is the concept of four million taels? That's four million taels of silver, all of them are divided ......, thinking of this, Zhang Weixian looked at the emperor with an incredible face in addition to swallowing saliva, is this generous, or what? Or was the emperor dizzy? Such a large sum of money to be divided?
Zhang Weixian blinked his eyelids hard, feeling that his eyelids were extraordinarily heavy, four million taels of silver, and the emperor wanted to take out the ...... dividends, this kind of thing, he had never dared to think about it.
"Your Majesty, this ...... It doesn't seem proper, this silver ...... "This silver is really hot, Zhang Weixian feels that he can't stand it, the stock of Liulizhai at the beginning, but one thousand taels, if there is a dividend of four million taels at the end of the year, that is to say, in less than half a year, the people who bought Liulizhai shares have recovered nearly forty percent of the capital, what kind of business is this?" I don't understand it? Or is the emperor insane? Zhang Weixian felt that his brain had run to the limit.
"Hehe, is Guogong still suspicious? Don't be confused, this silver should be used for dividends, because the stock is sold by everyone, profit, the money from the sale of the stock is naturally shared by everyone, Liulizhai has changed from 10,000 shares to 12,000 shares, everyone's shares have been diluted, can the prince understand? ......" Yang Reform explained with a smile, the dividend of this year's Liuli Zhai rose from one million taels to four million taels, or even higher, Yang Reform has been thinking for a long time, planning for a long time, and now it is finally about to succeed, once this ultra-high scale of dividends is born, its effect is naturally self-evident, there must be countless people looking up to Liuli Zhai, competing for the shares of Liuli Zhai, looking forward to the dividend at the end of the year, at the end of the year, Shanxi Jin Shang case broke out, as long as he took advantage of the trend a little, revealing a little bit of Liuli Zhai to take over some business tone, This Liulizhai will definitely become an invincible artifact, and the people of the world will definitely stand on their side, and the rest of the matter will be a matter of course.
Zhang Weixian felt that his head was about to explode, felt that his temples were beating hard, and barely calmed down, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not afraid of suffering losses if you divide the silver like this?" ”
"Hahaha...... suffer? Hehehe, Guogong, to put it mildly, Guogong doesn't believe in my ability to make money? But do you think I'm going to lose money? Yang said with self-confidence.
Speaking of the emperor's ability to make money, Zhang Weixian instantly firmly believed that anyone in the world can believe if he has no money, but the emperor can't believe it if he has no money, the emperor has only been on the throne for a year, but the silver spent can already be worth the previous emperor's expenses for more than ten years. This kind of emperor you say he won't make money, who believes it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian instantly calmed down again, as if he had found the backbone of the main heart, and his mind was much calmer, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes in His Majesty's ability, so naturally he will not doubt it, dare to ask Your Majesty, can you solve the old minister's doubts again?" Zhang Weixian said that the emperor can make money, there must be a way, Zhang Weixian wants to hear how the emperor makes money. ,
"Guogong, actually, it is also obvious, although I took out four million taels to dividends, but I have more than sixty percent of the shares in my hand, which is more than two million, even if I issue you an additional twenty percent of the shares, so that the total number of shares has increased to 12,000, and the more than 6,000 shares here still account for more than 50% of the entire shares; But if I sell you 20% of the shares in my hands, then less than 50% of the shares in my hands; Although you buy 20% of the shares in my hand, I may make a slightly more profit, about 27.8 million taels, but can Guogong consider the issue of stock price? Hehe, if you buy stocks from me, it will have no impact on the stock price, and even pull down the stock price, the total price of less than half of the shares in my hand may only be more than 7 million taels, but if you buy shares in the form of additional shares, how can the stock price not rise? Think about it, but what about the four million taels of dividends? Who doesn't care? The price of the stock must rise again, now it has reached 1,500 taels, if it rises again, it is very likely to reach 1,800 taels, or even 2,000 taels, Guogong will calculate again, I still have more than 50% of the stocks in my hand, hehe, if the stock reaches 2,000 taels, I will still be worth 10 million taels of silver...... I say this, Guogong can understand? Yang Gai smiled and explained his way and way of making money to Zhang Weixian.
Zhang Weixian's blood pressure rose again, his heart was beating wildly, Zhang Weixian only felt that he had lived in vain for so many years, at this age, he should feed the dogs, and he wanted to inherit the position of the prince of the country for so many years, that is, a bitter haha who looks forward to the harvest in the field every year, saving and saving, it is not as much as the loss in the emperor's fingers, the emperor casually made a move, used his brain, it was millions of taels into the account, and the Liulizhai stock, which was originally worth 10 million taels of silver, was sold, sold, and half of it was sold. As a result, the stocks in his hand are still worth 10 million taels of silver, this means of making money is ......, and it is really a god and a man ......, Zhang Weixian now has only one thought, that is, to prostrate on the ground and express his deep respect to the emperor.
"Your Majesty" Zhang Weixian suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", prostrate on the ground, and shouted. The thought in Zhang Weixian's heart suddenly became clear, he shouldn't, he shouldn't, he shouldn't let the emperor, a bodhisattva who can make money, not worship, and he lived a bitter life, if he followed the emperor early, worshiped the emperor's Bodhisattva early, followed the emperor to get silver, and his own family property was no problem to double or triple a year, and it would not be like now, looking at the little income in the field all day long, living like a countryman all day long, seeing the emperor's means of turning his hands into rain and turning his hands into clouds, Zhang Weixian completely understood what he was going to do now, It is to follow the footsteps of the emperor, worship the emperor this Bodhisattva, and others, presumably the emperor will not treat himself badly, think that at the beginning, the emperor welcomed into the palace by himself, just by virtue of this, Zhang Weixian believed, the emperor would not let him go, the emperor is a person who cares about love, Zhang Weixian in a few seconds, figured out the question that he has not figured out for decades, why has he been a prince for decades without silver and money? The family property is not as good as many southern merchants, the reason is that he did not meet the emperor and did not worship the living Bodhisattva of the emperor.
Now, Zhang Weixian's thoughts are completely accessible, so he bowed his head at the moment, this time, Zhang Weixian saw it clearly and figured it out, when it comes to making money, ten of himself is not an emperor's opponent.
Seeing Zhang Weixian's "poof", he suddenly bowed his head and bowed, Yang Reform was startled, this old guy, don't have an accident here, he was so frightened that he quickly stood up and shouted: "What's wrong with Guogong?" Hurry up......"
Looking closely, Zhang Weixian's face was full of red light, his eyes were radiant, not like a person with something, Yang Reform's heart calmed down, and said: "Guogong, why is this?" Hurry up..., hurry up and get up......"
Zhang Weixian's face was flushed, and he said with a hint of deceitful tone: "Your Majesty, the minister's admiration for Your Majesty is like the water of the Yellow River, out of control, and like the water of the Yangtze River, it ...... endlessly, if Your Majesty does not promise the minister one thing, the minister will not get up......" Zhang Weixian looked like I wanted to play tricks.
Looking at this kind of scene, Yang Reform couldn't cry or laugh, this old guy would also have this kind of expression? The sun came out in the west. Is this still the head of the Ming Dynasty? Why is an old child generally playing tricks in front of himself? ,
"What's the matter with Guogong, just say, what I can do will be done, and I will not disappoint Guogong......" Yang Gai looked at this unexpected scene, crying and laughing.
"Okay, then the old minister should be Your Majesty's promise, Your Majesty can't regret it, let alone break your word, Your Majesty, say something not ashamed, the minister is now at this age, and he is not afraid of anything ugly,...... The old minister said bluntly, the old minister wants to follow His Majesty to do business, follow His Majesty to earn money, so that he can save some belongings for his children and grandchildren, and we will do whatever Your Majesty asks us to do, and we will never let Your Majesty down, let alone pull Your Majesty's hind legs...... I just hope that Your Majesty won't dislike me and wait......" Zhang Weixia, an old man who has been immersed in the political arena for many years, has a very good sense of smell, and seems to smell something, so he said something in a pun while being skinny.
Listening to this old man's almost Laipi's words, Yang Gai also felt another meaning in this old man's words.
We? It's a good word.
"Hehehe, Guogong said and laughed, I do have some experience in making money, since Guogong wants to make some money with me, no problem, anyway, one is also earning, and two are also earning, but my ugly words can be said in front, it is okay to do business with me, you have to listen to my greeting, what I say, you can move, if you smoke your legs halfway, it won't work, don't blame me for not remembering the old love when the time comes......" Yang Reform agreed, and the big net he opened seemed to be quite rich, so in the clouds, he and Zhang Weixian played a sharp game.
"Obey." As soon as Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and agreed loudly.
