What Wu Shigong didn't know was that when he was laughing with Li's mother, Ma Shouxin accompanied a middle-aged man into the hall of the stock exchange. It was Ma Bo'an, the head of the Ma family, who came.

Last year, Ma Boan learned that his second son Ma Shouxin was going to Runing to open a business, he only thought it was a temporary young man, and the money spent was not much anyway, so Ma Boan let Ma Shouxin see the world.

But when Ma Shouxin went home for the Spring Festival this time, Ma Bo'an was surprised to find that his son seemed to be a different person. To put it simply, it is to transform from a somewhat unruly young man to a very enterprising person.

At this moment, Ma Bo'an was curious, what kind of magic power did that military attache of Runing have to change his son into what he is now? So Ma Bo'an took the initiative to ask Ma Shouxin about the situation of Wu Shigong and Runing Mansion.

So Ma Shouxin enthusiastically introduced the situation of Runing Mansion and Wu Shigong to Ma Bo'an. But Ma Shouxin is not deeply involved in the world after all, so the introduction is also a bit foggy. But Ma Bo'an Ke was a shopping mall tycoon, and from the clues in Ma Shouxin's words, he found a new environment that was completely different from the agricultural society of the Ming Dynasty, and was all inclined to industry and commerce.

Ma Boan knows how rare it is to have such a business environment. To tell the truth, although the Ma family is a huge rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, and the relationship in the officialdom is also intertwined, the Ma family's energy to maintain relations in the officialdom every year is no less than the energy spent in the shopping mall, and the silver costs an extra 40,000 or 50,000 taels.

What's more, Runing Mansion has not been discovered by any big businessmen, if the Ma family enters early, it may make his family take a leap, and it is completely possible to leave behind those wealthy families in Jiangnan who are on an equal footing with him.

So after this festival, Ma Bo'an and Ma Shouxin came to Runing Mansion together. But since Ma Boan can preside over such a huge industry. Then he must also be a very cautious person. Therefore, after Ma Bo'an arrived in Runing Mansion, he visited friends everywhere to inquire about the first-hand information of the Runing Army, especially Wu Shigong.

Ma Bo'an knows very well that if he wants to invest, he must invest in Wu Shigong. And the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was too dark, and there was a danger of people going to politics, so Ma Bo'an had to evaluate Wu Shigong well.

Two aspects: one is whether Wu Shigong's Runing Army has the strength to maintain the rule of Runing Mansion; The other is whether Wu Shigong is a person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, don't let the story of Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty be staged again in the Ma family.

After walking around, Ma Bo'an heard a lot of Wu Shigong's deeds from his old friends in Runing Mansion. Of course, there are a lot of lace news, and some of them also criticize Wu Shigong's indiscriminate killing, domineering, lust, greed for money and other behaviors, but there is one thing that is praised by everyone, that is, Wu Shigong is quite trustworthy, as long as he promises. There has been no broken word yet.

Ma Boan was relieved at this moment, for businessmen. The personal morality of the partner will not be considered at all. As long as it is a reputable partner, it is a haode collaborator. So I heard that the stock exchange was open today, and Ma Boan also came here with Ma Shouxin, who was invited.

But as soon as he entered the stock exchange, Ma Boan was attracted by this novel financing method. Unlike small businessmen such as Bian Chengwang and Li's mother, Ma Bo'an, who comes from Jiangnan, is quite open-minded. At this time, Jiangnan commerce was also quite developed, and new financial activities such as stocks and futures had actually taken shape in the Jiangnan area.

Ma Boan immediately and quietly began to inquire about the specific operation of the stock exchange. When Ma Shouxin introduced the treasurer of the stock exchange to his father, Ma Bo'an learned in detail about the specific process of stock issuance and trading.

The issuance and trading of shares on this stock exchange, if viewed from a modern point of view, must be too primitive to be primitive. But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a completely subversive initiative. Moreover, the manager of the stock exchange also introduced the upcoming futures exchange to Ma Bo'an, which made Ma Bo'an more interested.

After inquiring, Ma Bo'an learned that all this came from Wu Shigong's idea, so in Ma Bo'an's heart, he immediately put Wu Shigong in the high position of a business wizard, and Ma Bo'an was also more interested in meeting this military attaché, who was a civil and military all-rounder, corrupt in private morality, eager for justice and righteousness, a promise of a thousand gold, and a little gold.

And as soon as Ma Bo'an's thoughts came out, the shopkeeper of the stock exchange said: "Ma Gong came just in time! Our lord is here today, and now he is resting in the back, waiting for the junior to report to Ma Gong. ”

The shopkeeper knew that Wu Shigong wanted to meet Ma Bo'an, the God of Wealth, so although he knew that Wu Shigong was reluctant to meet guests now, Ma Bo'an was definitely an exception.

Sure enough, after the report was made outside the house, Wu Shigong immediately gave the order, "See!" ”。 Mother Li also said goodbye immediately in a neatly dressed manner, and was not noticed by others at all, she was sitting on Wu Shigong's lap just now to discuss.

Walking out of the door of the house, while others didn't notice her, Mother Li secretly took out the piece of paper that Wu Shigong stuffed into her arms when she was leaving, and found that it was a house deed, and Mother Li immediately said to Wu Shigong, "I will have a chance to talk about it in the future!" She couldn't help but smile knowingly.

When Ma Bo'an arrived, Wu Shigong personally came to the door of the house to greet him. After the two of them were polite, they entered the house and sat down with the guests.

After the opening remarks, the two quickly got to the point. Ma Bo'an also asked a worry in his heart: "My lord! This time, the thief army ravaged Fengyang, and also passed through the boundary of Runing Mansion, can you be sure of holding the local area? And it is valuable for adults to prosper business, but can those goods go to the major cities of the Central Plains? ”

Ma Bo'an's question was actually very sharp, that is, he was asking whether the Runing Army could ensure the tranquility of the core area of Runing Province and whether it could ensure the smooth passage of trade routes.

"Ma Gong! Although the official is full of confidence, he can always hear a boastful inferior in the ears of others. So this official also gives Ma Gong a practical point! Wu Shigong also spoke very frankly, "This official has also opened a new insurance firm here, as long as you pay a small fee in that firm, you can get insurance, and in case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can pay in full." If Ma Gong came to do business in the local area, the official also promised that he would not charge a penny insurance premium for the first year, and half the price for the next two years. After three years, Ma Gong can always see the grasp of our Runing Army! (To be continued......)
