At the end of February, the three-storey attic opposite the Yangzhou Office of the Lecture Hall was crowded with people, and it was very lively, full of richly dressed businessmen, who gathered in groups of three or five to discuss something with great interest.

This attic and the house where the attic is located are the property of the Yangzhou Division of Jiangwutang, and the plaque above the attic is wrapped in a red silk cloth, and it is also decorated with red hydrangeas, which looks very festive.

In front of the attic, Lu Xing, the prefect of Yangzhou, Han Hu, the commander of Yangzhou Wei, Chen Hai, the secretary of the Yangzhou Affairs Office of the Wutang, Chen Bozhao, the president of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and other important members of the political and business circles talked and laughed, as if they were welcoming the arrival of someone.

"It's coming, it's coming." Suddenly, a shout sounded in the crowd, and a team of flags appeared on the street, with two big characters "Zhenwu" written on a yellow background and blue letters.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the blue flag on a yellow background was exclusive to the nobles of the imperial court, and the system of the flag was divided into three classes according to the princes and princes to distinguish them.

At this time, the standard of this blue flag on a yellow background is the specification of the marquis, which means that this team is the honor guard of Li Yuntian, the Marquis of Zhenwu.

Soon, people saw the black four-wheeled carriage that was already familiar to the people of Yangzhou City, and Lu Xing and the others hurriedly greeted it.

When the carriage stopped, a guard left the door of the carriage, and Li Yuntian, dressed in a marquis's dress, stepped out of the car, and then reached out to help Liu Wenqing, who was wearing a red dress.

Since Li Yuntian wants to hand over the Military Resources Department to Liu Wenqing to take care of, then Liu Wenqing will inevitably deal with people from the two political and business positions in Jiangnan in the future, so he now wants Liu Wenqing to gradually appear in front of the public.

"Meet Lord Hou and Mrs." Seeing this, Lu Xing and the others hurriedly brushed their brushes and bowed to Li Yuntian and Liu Wenqing.

"No courtesy." Li Yuntian smiled and raised his hand to the void, and walked towards the entrance of the attic with Liu Wenqing in his arms surrounded by everyone, and finally stopped in front of the door.

"Master Hou, please unveil it!" Chen Hai bowed down and handed a red rope tied to the red brocade cloth on the plaque on the door to Li Yuntian's hand, and then stepped aside.

Seeing this, the scene suddenly fell silent, and people looked at Li Yuntian one after another, waiting for him to pull down the red brocade cloth on the plaque.

After glancing around at the eager-eyed crowd around him, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and then pulled the red rope down hard, and the red brocade cloth wrapped in the plaque suddenly slipped down.

At the same time, firecrackers crackled all around, and the band also blew festive music, and the scene was both lively and celebratorative.

In the sound of firecrackers and music, several big characters on the plaque appeared in front of people's eyes, and on them were written in block letters "Jiangwutang Stock Exchange Field" eight majestic characters.

There was a hula, and the scene resounded with warm applause, and people were looking at the words on the plaque while talking with great interest, and they all seemed to be very interested in this stock trading field.

Li Yuntian also applauded, looked up at the plaque and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, after ten years of hardships and tempering, he finally opened the stock exchange in Daming, although the function of this stock exchange is still very simple, but this will certainly promote the transformation of the old pattern of Daming business, and play a huge role in promoting the development of Daming business.

The first supervisor of the market was concurrently served by Chen Hai, the secretary of the Yangzhou branch of the Jiangwutang, who was responsible for supervising the operation and trading of the trading companies listed on the stock exchange to ensure the interests of the shareholders who purchased the shares.

After the establishment of the Jiangwutang Stock Exchange, there will be five trading companies listed here, all of which are trading companies established by members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and its operating system has met the requirements of Li Yuntian after nearly ten years of development.

The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has been in the Jiangnan business community for seven or eight years, and the businessmen in the Jiangnan business community have a considerable understanding of its daily operations, and they all know that the trading companies formed by the members of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce have adopted the joint-stock system, and the board of directors is the highest authority of the trading company, but it is only responsible for decision-making, and the specific operation of the trading company is operated by professional managers, which provides a basic guarantee for the listing of the five trading companies.

It is worth mentioning that the daily elites of the trading company in charge of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce have all been trained by the Kyushu Business College under the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and all of them have professional graduation certificates.

The management of the trading companies affiliated with the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was appointed with certificates, which broke the monopoly of the family in one fell swoop and fully protected the interests of each shareholder.

Two years ago, when Li Yuntian was fighting against the rebels in Jiaozhi, the Kyushu Business College had been included in the supervision of the Jiangwutang Division, and the issuance of its certificates was responsible for the Jiangwutang Division, which means that the industries under the Jiangwutang recognized the certificates of Kyushu business students, which laid a solid foundation for absorbing those graduates into the subordinate industries of the Jiangwutang.

The hall in the attic is densely packed with merchants who come to see the excitement, and there is a huge stock price trading board in front of the hall, from top to bottom, there are ten rows, each row is composed of a single wooden card, from left to right is the stock number, the name of the trading company, and the stock price at the right time.

Among them, the timely stock price is composed of five rows of small wooden cards, each row of small wooden cards is composed of ten small wooden cards that can be flipped back and forth, the numbers on the small wooden cards are from zero to nine, the lowest price can be accurate to one penny, and the highest price is ninety-nine two hundred and ninety-nine Wen.

In addition to the businessmen who watched the excitement, the most eye-catching people at the scene were the stock market staff wearing red, black and blue vests.

The different colours of vests represent different duties, with staff wearing black vests being responsible for buying and selling at the counter; Staff wearing red vests go to the counter to trade stocks at the request of their employers; Staff in blue vests are in charge of management.

Each staff member has a number written in Arabic numerals on their chest and back, and these numbers are their names here.

Since the stock market has not yet opened, there are only five names and stock codes of the trading companies on the stock price trading board, and the corresponding prices are all five zeros, and people are looking at Li Yuntian with great interest, waiting for him to ring a gong hanging on the balcony on the second floor of the stock market, which is the opening gong of the stock market, and it is also the closing gong.

Li Yuntian was surrounded by everyone and came to the balcony on the second floor, today's opening gong will naturally be sounded by Li Yuntian, and the drumstick that sounded the gong is tied with red silk cloth, which looks very festive.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian and Liu Wenqing held the drumsticks together and struck them on the gong vigorously, causing the gong to make a crisp sound that echoed in the attic.

With the sound of the gong, the stock price on the stock exchange board began to crackle, and behind the trading board, a clerk in a black vest flipped the small wooden cards with numbers written on them.

Soon, the little wooden cards stopped flipping almost simultaneously, and the stock prices of the five trading companies were fixed at one tael.

"Please open a share!" When people's attention was focused on those stock prices, Chen Hai shouted loudly, which made everyone's eyes fall on Li Yuntian on the balcony on the second floor again.

"How do I place a bid?" Li Yuntian smiled and asked in a deep voice to the five employees wearing red vests, these five employees were the traders hired by the five trading companies, who were responsible for the buying and selling of stock prices.

"Lord Hou, each of us is going to sell two thousand shares each, one or two cents per share." A red vest with a Chinese character face bowed to Li Yuntian and said loudly.

"One, two, one?" Hearing this, the businessmen at the scene couldn't help but be taken aback, if they were not mistaken, the stock prices of the five trading companies were only one or two pieces of silver, and the blushing vest of the national character actually asked Li Yuntian for an extra penny, which was too bold.

"Ben Hou is giving you a good start, you want all your 2,000 shares!" To everyone's surprise, Li Yuntian did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction, but said loudly with a smile.

"Master Xie!" Hearing this, the five red vests bowed in unison to thank Li Yuntian.

At this moment, the stock price on the trading board changed, and only a snap was heard, and the last small wooden card on the price board of the five trading companies was flipped one after another, and the last number changed from "0" to "1", which means that the stock prices of the five trading companies rose by a penny with this transaction.

Li Yuntian smiled when he saw this, got up and helped Liu Wenqing downstairs, and left surrounded by Chen Hai and Lu Xing and others.

"Five thousand shares, one two or fifty wen!" Everyone at the scene bowed down to bid farewell to Li Yuntian, and after Li Yuntian walked out of the door, the previous national character blushing vest stretched out five fingers and shouted loudly.

"I want it!" As soon as the words of the red vest of the national character fell, a thin and tall red vest raised his hand high.

"Deal!" Hearing this, the red vest pointed at the tall and thin red vest, and then stretched out his hand and made an "ok" gesture.

After the plain, the thin and tall red vest handed a piece of paper to the Guozi blush vest, and the Guozi blush vest handed him another piece of paper, which wrote the number and price of the stocks to be bought and sold, which was the voucher for trading in the stock trading room, so as to facilitate the transaction between the two parties afterwards.

After the thin and tall red vest received the certificate, the stock price of the trading company corresponding to the national character red vest on the trading board immediately changed, becoming one two or fifty.

Seeing this situation, everyone at the scene suddenly burst into a commotion, and talked there one after another, with a look of surprise on their faces:

With the change in the stock price of that trading company, Li Yuntian made forty-nine cents per share for nothing, they had never encountered such a bizarre thing before, and making money seemed so simple!

"Five thousand shares, one hundred or twenty eighty wen!" However, people's shock was only at the beginning, and just when they felt unbelievable, a round-faced red vest stretched out five fingers at the national character red vest and shouted loudly.

"One two eighty wen, five thousand shares, deal!" Under the stunned gaze of the people, the national character blush vest made an "ok" gesture at the round blush vest, and the transaction was confirmed by macro.

Subsequently, the round face red vest and the national character red vest exchanged their respective sales vouchers, and the stock price of the trading company represented by the national character red vest also rose to one or two hundred or eighty yuan.

There was an uproar at the scene again, which showed that Li Yuntian had earned seventy-nine wen in an instant, which was like robbing money.
