Chapter 144: Rubber Stocks (2)
There are probably dozens of exchanges in London, and these exchanges are large and small, and it took a long time for Yan Shao's people to figure them out. After they found out, they immediately returned to Yan Shao to resume their lives.
"The largest exchanges in London today are this, this and this and this..."After marking six or seven marks in pencil on a map of London, a person in charge of the guard looked up and said to Yan Shao.
"Do all these exchanges have rubber stocks?"
"Yesβ" Qian Jun nodded. According to the information we have obtained, this rubber stock is new, but it has already set off a boom in London, where there are now more than a dozen newly listed rubber companies. β
"In this case, it should be able to eat..."Hearing Qian Jun's words, Yan Shao was also slightly relieved.
"That...... Boss, how much do you plan to invest this time? "Qian Jun has already inquired on major exchanges, although rubber is still just a rising thing, but the momentum is quite fierce, especially the more than ten rubber companies he just mentioned, the least one has also issued shares worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, so it is inevitable that I feel a little strange when I hear Yan Shao say this...
After a deep sigh, Yan Shao did not answer immediately but looked out the window, many pedestrians were walking on the smoky street, some pedestrians were like Yan Shao when they first came, wearing masks and other items on their faces, and some had no protective measures at all.
Maybe Yan Shao was indeed quite lucky when they came to London last time, so this time their luck was inevitably a little worse. Yesterday and today, London is shrouded in smoke.
"Ten million...... pound...", the finger slid lightly over the table, and after about half a minute. Yan Shao said a number that stunned everyone present.
Ten million pounds, such a large sum of money is enough to buy five or six of the latest battleships in this era. Even if it is a powerful country like Britain and France, such a large sum of money is not something that can be taken out.
Just as the entourage was shocked by the number, Elano and Caterina turned their heads to look at him.
Obviously, Yan Shao wanted so much money to invest in rubber, even the two of them didn't know what to do.
Of course, this is mainly because the two of them did not ask. "Such a large sum of money...... You have to think about it, this is already equivalent to half of our net worth..."The thin eyebrows frowned slightly. After grabbing Yan Shao's arm, Elano said with a serious face.
The same is true for Katerina, the reason why the two did not ask is because they thought that Yan Shao would at most put one or two million pounds on the so-called rubberββββββ not only one or two million pounds. When converted into silver dollars, it's one or two million. In the past few years, even if Xiangshan Iron Works is counted, Yan Shao's investment in Yushi Group is only more than 20 million.
And ten million pounds...
At the beginning, Yan Shao's money from selling oil fields was only a little more than 10 million pounds, and he later invested a lot in the company. However, it earned more than 1.7 million pounds from the Japanese. Plus then the American side. Standard Oil sends tens of millions of dollars every year, and Yan Shao's total net worth now is more than 200 million, that is, more than 20 million pounds...
So just like Elaline said, 10 million pounds is already quite half of Yan Shao's net worth. It would be best if this investment could succeed, but if it failed, even if it wouldn't make Yan Shao collapse, it would be enough to make him seriously injured...
I looked at the men. After looking at the expressions of the two people around him, Yan Shao certainly knew what they were worried about. He wasn't about to change his mind, though.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem..."After all, it is said in the textbook, and even if his arrival has led to changes in history, the demand for rubber in human society cannot be changed, which means that it is inevitable that rubber will rise wildly, as if it always rises from the east, if it is not for the fear that the London market will not be able to swallow more money, otherwise Yan Shao even plans to invest all 20 million pounds, leaving only a few million to maintain the development of the company.
Seeing that Yan Shao insisted on doing this, Elano and Caterina did not object, but just wanted him to think more carefully. However, at this time, Yan Shao kissed the two on the cheek, and then motioned to Qian Jun and them to leave with him.
A large number of yellow people crowded around two stunning white women to stay in the hotel, which was originally an eye-catcher. So on the day Yan Shao and the others checked into the hotel, the people in the hotel had already learned about the incident, and the fact that Yan Shao and Elano were in the same room spread early.
This also made those travelers staying in the hotel look at them with strange eyes. However, it seems that Yan Shao's reputation is not as loud as that of the United States or France, so no one recognizes Yan Shao's identity, which also reduces Yan Shao's troubles.
But when such a large number of them went out of the hotel together, they still attracted a considerable amount of attention. Especially when they saw Elano and Caterina supporting Yan Shao on one side, many people sighed.
"It's a pity, two flowers are inserted..."After Yan Shao and the others left the hotel, a middle-aged white man who was drinking with his companions said regretfully.
Hearing him say this, another middle-aged man sitting across from him agreed. "Yes, what beautiful two young ladies, they look so temperamental, maybe they are from a noble background..."
"Who knows, that yellow man looks like he's very rich, and maybe those two women are following him for what..."Seeing that the two men around him had been focusing on the two women just now, sitting next to them a woman in her 20s who was a little bit dissatisfied, and when she thought of the appearance and figure of the two just now, her heart was also full of jealousy and ...... A hint of superiority...
Maybe it's because the two people who accompany her are white, but Yan Shao is a yellow person...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
More than 30 people acted in groups. No matter where they are, they will attract the attention of others, not to mention that they appear in London in this era.
With Qian Jun and their discussions, Yan Shao and them were much smoother on the way to the exchange. It took almost no detours to arrive at their first destination, an exchange that seemed to be running well.
"Is that it? One of London's largest exchanges? Pointing to the exchange in front of him, Yan Shao turned his head sideways to Qian Jundao on the side.
"That's right." Qian Jun nodded. "At least as far as we can seek, this exchange is currently the largest exchange in London, and at least 20% of all stock trading in London takes place here..."
"Alright, let's go take a look here..."
As he spoke, Yan Shao had already led people to the exchange.
The other side. Yan Shao is such a large group of people, even if the fog is a little thick today, it is impossible for people not to see them.
There were more than 30 people in sight. As they crowded towards the exchange, several guards standing at the gate of the exchange suddenly became nervousββββββ London is a city known as the capital of crime.
Although it is very unlikely that more than 30 people will suddenly break into the exchange and commit violent crimes in broad daylight, this does not mean that there are none. But when they saw Elano and Caterina in the crowd. This fear disappeared without a trace. After all, it is unlikely that the robbers will come with a couple of women to rob.
But even so, they still stepped forward to stop Yan Shao and them. "Is there anything you guys are up to?"
Yan Shao obviously didn't expect that he would be stopped, so he was stunned and replied after hearing the doorman's words. "What do you think I'm here for..."
"This..."The doorman didn't know how to answer, after all, coming to the exchange can only be for stock trading, and there can be nothing else.
However, when they saw the intimate gesture between Eleno and Yan Shao, the guards still showed a look of jealousy, but after looking at Yan Shao's outfits, these guards also knew very well that they did not have the right and reason to stop Yan Shao, so after a little hesitation, they moved out of the way.
After that, the doormen and some passers-by around. And some of the people who were about to go in looked at them strangely.
Such a little episode did not affect Yan Shao's mood, just like Qian Jun said. It's a very lively exchange, and if it's not the largest in London, it's probably in the top three.
Seeing Yan Shao such a large group of people walking in, a staff member from the exchange soon greeted him. "Sir, is there anything you need help with?" The words were said directly to Yan Shao, and obviously he could see that Yan Shao was the head of these people.
"Of course..."After a deep groan, Yan Shao spoke. Is there a stock of rubber? β
"Of course there is..."Hearing Yan Shao ask about the rubber stocks, the clerk showed an unsurprising expression. Now the vast majority of people who come to the exchange are asking about rubber stocks, and our exchange is the largest exchange in London, of course, it is impossible not to have it, but it is ...... Which company's stock are you going to buy? β
As he spoke, he had led Yan Shao and the others to a blackboard on a wall, where dozens of people were bustling there.
Seeing such a noisy situation, Elainor and Caterina and several other girls all showed disgusted expressions, and Qian Jun and they also consciously surrounded them in the middle along with Yan Shao to prevent those people from touching them.
Noticing this scene, Jack felt that his judgment was not wrong, and the yellow man in front of him was definitely a big customer.
Although many people are racist, at least in his opinion, everything is equal in front of money, as long as it can bring him benefits, they are his supreme customers.
So before and after Yan Shao and the others were brought to the blackboard, Jack quickly introduced Yan Shao to the stocks of several rubber companies that have been very popular recently...
"Are there only a few..."Seeing that the shares of these companies add up to more than one million in total, Yan Shao frowned slightly and said to Jack. Nothing more? β
"More?" Jack was taken aback, and he couldn't figure out what Yan Shao meant.
However, Yan Shao didn't say anything more, just said to Jack. "Where to trade?"
"Here's it..."
Although he didn't understand what Yan Shao meant just now, he still understood what he meant now. So Jack quickly led Yan Shao and them to the front of the trading desk.
"Please calculate how much the shares of these stock companies are in total, I want them all...", patted the trading desk, and attracted the attention of the young lady who was looking down and didn't know what to do. Yan Shao said something that surprised her, Jack, and the others around her.
"All...... Looking?" looked up at Yan Shao, the young lady in charge of the transaction was a little suspicious that her ears had misheard something just now.
After receiving Yan Shao's definite answer, she quickly counted all the values of the rubber company shares on the current exchange, and gave Yan Shao a reply of 1.73 million pounds after the last.
After answering, the young lady and Jack looked at Yan Shao with expectant eyes at the same time, and they didn't know that Lu Dao was expecting him to really be as 'proud' as he behaved. Still looking forward to seeing his humiliating performance.
However, compared to the two of them, those who also heard Yan Shao's words next to them were left with the expectation that he would lose face.
"One hundred and seven thirty thousandβ" completely ignored the little bit of Jack's thoughts. Yan Shao waved his hand to Qian Jun beside him, and then Qian Jun put a suitcase on the table and opened it, revealing the 1,000 pound bills inside.
Ignoring the stunned expressions of the people around him, after motioning to Qian Jun for them to count out the 1.7 million pounds and give the money to the young lady. Yan Shao was a little bored and discussed with Elano about the rubber companies on the list...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
When Yan Shao and they left the exchange with the proof of those stocks. There is also a story in the exchange that a wealthy man wiped out all the shares on the exchange for more than a million pounds.
Yan Shao didn't have the time to pay attention to these boring things, in the exchange just now, Yan Shao only got more than 1.7 million pounds of shares, which was far from the 10 million pounds he originally set. So after leaving from the exchange just now, Yan Shao and his entourage quickly arrived at the next exchange.
Although the scale of this exchange is also very large, it is still a little worse than the previous exchange, and Yan Shao only got a million pounds worth of shares on this exchange.
It took Yan Shao a whole day to visit all the exchanges in London. However, there are fewer rubber stocks on these exchanges, all the way to the last one. Yan Shao only spent more than 4.7 million pounds.
"Four million seven hundred thousand pounds...", glancing at the tall suitcases piled up in the room, Elaline walked over to Yan Shao's side and sat down. That's enough, there's no need to get 10 million..."
Seeing the worry implied in Elanon's expression, Yan Shao smiled and kissed her on the neck. "Don't worry, I'm measured..."
"If that's really the case, it's good..."Seeing Yan Shao's confident look, after smiling bitterly, Ileno shook his head and decided not to talk to him about this issue anymore. Now that the momentum of this rubber stock is good, there is not much chance that something will go wrong......... Even if something really goes wrong, it's just a lesson for him..."
Thinking of this, Elaline took a few pills and a glass of warm water from the side and handed them to Yan Shao's hand. "Quick, let's drink..."
Looking at the medicine and warm water in his hand, Yan Shao's expression became a little ugly.
If some medicines in later generations have a sugar coating or a capsule or something, then there is absolutely no such heart-warming thing in this era, almost every pill is terrible, and even when taking medicine every day, it is like torture for Yan Shao.
Although Yan Shao wanted to throw these pills away like garbage, under Elano's compelling gaze, he still closed his eyes and forced himself to swallow them.
After swallowing the pill in his throat, Yan Shao hurriedly grabbed the cup of warm water and drank it, and it took a long time before he gasped. "Hell, when am I going to stop taking these damn pills?"
"It's up to the doctor..."
Just as Elano replied with a smile, Caterina walked out of the bathroom next to her, wiping her hair.
Looking at her draped in a yukata, Yan Shao's eyes lit up, and the person stood up from the bed.
Seeing Yan Shao like this, Elaline naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"It's because you're always thinking about these things that your body can't fully recover..."
"Please, the doctor only told me to eat as little spicy food as possible, but he didn't say that even this should be forbidden..."As he spoke, he ripped off Katarina's yukata, and then pressed her and Elano on the bed together regardless of the fact that there were still a lot of water stains on her hair, and the three of them happily rolled up the sheets...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The next day, Yan Shao rubbed his somewhat sore head and got out of bed, and the finger marks on the two smooth carcasses behind him and some other marks could prove last night's madness.
"You two sleep well, I'll go out first..."After patting Katerina's buttocks, Yan Shao, who was dressed well, turned around and rubbed his sore waist with his hand as he spoke.
Because of last night's madness, the two of them also consumed a lot of physical strength, so after hearing Yan Shao's words, they just snorted lazily and fell back asleep.
Shaking his head, Yan Shao couldn't understand what it was obvious that he was the one who worked the hardest last night, but today they were even more tired than themselves.
After leaving the room, after signaling the maids to stay and not disturb the two people in the room, Yan Shao left those red-faced maids and walked out, and continued the work that was not completed yesterday with Qian Jun... (To be continued......)
