The largest teahouse on Sanshan Street in the capital is still full of mourning, but no one is willing to take over the Western Regions Fund, because after the extreme rendering of the empty side, everyone knows that this fund is completely worthless, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rubbish, and the price of twenty wen at noon has now fallen to five cents, and no one cares about it, and gradually some people begin to leave, one by one, their faces are colorless, and they sigh for a long time, and they are unstable in walking, and it seems that they are either jumping into the river or hanging beams when they go back.

At this time, more than a dozen big men suddenly walked in, and if Hong Zhong didn't say a word, he first took out a stack of silver tickets and slammed them on the table, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lao Tzu collects as much as he wants from the Western Regions Good News Fund!" ”

Hula, the people around him all came up, scrambling to stuff the fund ticket in his hand to this side, "Buy mine, buy mine, give the money and sell it." Looking at the shaking hands, the man jumped on the table and shouted: "Don't panic, come one by one, Lao Tzu brings a lot of money, and it is a large amount of tickets, you first sort out the fund yourself, make up the whole number to exchange for silver, so what, what is the price of the cards today?" ”

Someone replied: "This master's current price is five cents, you are good, we are willing to sell it for four cents." ”

The man said: "Don't Lao Tzu, don't take advantage of these few cents, buy them all at the price of 20 cents a unit, and buy as much as you want!" ”

Suddenly, the joy was thunderous, everyone was moved to tears, lined up in an orderly line, began to exchange, the garbage-like funds in their hands can be exchanged for money, it would be good, no matter how much news spread, the whole street of people came running, these dozen men as if they were carrying the money with them, threw out a lot of silver tickets in exchange for bundles of funds, and threw them behind them at will.

There was a careful person who saw that these dozen or so big men were wearing official boots with leather bottoms, so they had a plan in their hearts and asked, "Which lord is from the mansion?" What is the news of such a large-scale takeover? ”

The man said: "If you have a fund, you just have to sell it, what do you like to buy this thing, do you care?" ”

Although they didn't say it, the people of these upside-down stock funds on Sanshan Street still saw the clues from the silver tickets they used, because the large promissory notes used by these people were all registered silver tickets, and they were stamped with the seal of the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion. Suddenly, a saying arose, and the Marquis of Zhenwu might have to take over the command of the Western Army, and there was hope for this war in the west!

The people of Zhenwu Hou are still worried about what custody is successful, and the Western Regions Fund will definitely be born and prosperous. The rumor spread like a gust of wind, and the crazy selling action on Sanshan Street came to an abrupt end, and everyone was reluctant to sell it, of course, some people didn't believe it, and still sold the fund, but the price was not so low, from 20 Wen to 50 Wen, and then to 100 Wen, those men who bought the fund were also happy to release the words directly, 100 Wen is also okay, 200 Wen is okay, anyway, how many are as much! This even more stimulated those shrewd speculative businessmen, who had already decided that this was the Zhenwu Hou who had sent someone to sweep up the goods, and the revival of the Western Regions Fund was just around the corner, so they also began to buy it, and offered a higher price: five hundred Wen!

The fund transaction in the capital is the act of handing over money and delivering the goods with one hand, there is no post-delivery system, and there is no formal trading venue and trading time, so this vigorous lifting action has continued until dusk, which means that the fund has risen from the level of five cents on the verge of death to eight hundred wen, which is close to the par level.

In fact, these guards sent by Liu Ziguang did not buy too many funds, but at the beginning, they acquired hundreds of thousands of units, and when the atmosphere was mobilized, they didn't have much to do, but they took turns to raise the price there to buy those who could be the guards of the big house, and they were not simple-minded, and they understood the meaning of the Hou Ye very clearly, that is, to raise the price, not to really sweep the goods and build a warehouse.

On the table in front of Liu Ziguang in Wuyi Lane, there was a telegram from Shanghai, Peng Jingrong told him that there was an invisible hand in the stock market that was manipulating, creating panic, suppressing high-performing stocks, this force was very strong, and when the market closed, he actually took out three million taels of official tickets to trade, which shows that the background is not small, but there are only a handful of people with this strength in China, and the most suspicious of them is Huang Xiaotian, the head of the household department who embezzled public funds, and hoped that Liu Ziguang would use the power of the South Factory to conduct investigations, and this is a great opportunity to bring down Huang Xiaotian and regain control of the household department.

Don't look at Liu Ziguang no longer holding any real position, the power and energy in his hands are still amazing, as long as he says a word, the huge and sophisticated spy organization of the South Factory will operate, and any secrets in the capital can't hide from him, Liu Ziguang picked up a strange-looking object on the table, shook the handle a few times, and then shouted at a bamboo tube: "Pick up Admiral Sun for me." ”

This is a secret laying of wired telephone, the most advanced thing in the Ming Dynasty, has not yet been used by the society, but there are a small number of Zhenwuhou in the system, there are a small number of in use, Zhenwuhou Mansion, Wuyi Lane, South Factory, Red Shirt Barracks, Jiangwutang have lines and call terminals, when you need to contact, pick up the corresponding single-line phone, first shake the handle, electricity, and then you can talk, Liu Ziguang uses a phone that goes directly to the South Factory, and you can directly find Sun Gang and Sun Dadu.

Zhu Youxiao of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City sat upright in front of the dragon book case, kneeling upright, Huang Xiaotian and Zhang Fulin, the emperor came over with a burst of anger, and the two calmly faced each other and said that they were wronged.

Zhu Youxiao said: "As an official of the household department, it is your duty to supervise securities transactions, but how can you make the financial market of the Ming Dynasty a thousand miles away, if I didn't learn by chance today, I was blinded by you two mediocre talents, how do you say that this crime of deceiving the monarch should be punished?" This book is reprinted from bsp; Huang Xiaotian said: "Emperor Qi, Weichen has indeed wronged this Western Regions Good News Fund, which is already too high, and it is already in danger, if it continues to rise like this, it will cause harm to the economy of the Ming Dynasty, and a proper fall is a normal fluctuation, not only is it not harmful, but also conducive to social stability." ”

Zhang Fulin also said: "Emperor Qiqi, according to the investigation of the ministers, learned that in recent years, I have been in the wind and rain, the country and the people's peace and security, the income of the people has increased significantly, take the capital as an example, every family has a few thousand taels of silver savings, that is, ten thousand taels of households, not a few, they took out a little silver to buy the fund, it is in the spirit of supporting the imperial court, even if the price drops temporarily, the loss of some is bearable, when the minister came, he also interviewed some people, and they all said that the decline of the fund did not affect their lives. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "You are still defrauding me into buying your funds, resulting in the bankruptcy of thousands of people who have lost their money, and there are not a few who committed suicide by jumping into the river and jumping into the river, how do you explain this?" ”

Zhang Fulin said: "At the beginning, Weichen once posted a notice to warn the people that the stock market is risky, and investment needs to be cautious, but there are always some people who like to speculate, dump their family property into the market, and try to make huge profits, the market is ruthless, it is impossible to take care of everyone, and when they start to take risks, they should think of this ending." ”

Although Zhu Youxiao was angry, he felt that Zhang Fulin's words also made some sense, so he eased his emotions and said: "Do you want to sit back and watch the market collapse and watch the people commit suicide with a cold eye?" ”

Zhang Fulin said: "The market will not collapse, will only become more and more perfect, this growth process may be bloody, there will be people who go bankrupt, there will be people who commit suicide, but this is unavoidable, the minister is actually very painful, empathy, but securities trading is a new thing, in order to improve it, it is necessary to pay some necessary tuition, it is also the history will remember, these people who sacrificed for the securities market, it is with their efforts that the Ming Dynasty will be rich and strong, and dominate the world." ”

Zhang Fulin's eloquence is not covered by Zhu Youxiao's own cultural level, and he was dizzy when he heard people say a few high-sounding words, he felt that his reaction today was a bit too big, although it was the emperor's sister who had an accident, but as an emperor, he should not be thunderous because of this, and he should look at a farther level, maybe the plunge is really the law of the market, thinking about it, his tone also eased: "Then it can't go on like this, the court must always take care of it, otherwise no one will buy stocks and buy funds, who will I ask for stamp duty?" Where does my military spending come from? ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "The emperor's mercy is really the blessing of the people, of course the ministers will come to the rescue, but the timing of this shot has to be carefully considered, the lower it falls, the easier it is to save, and it will not take much silver to achieve the effect of four taels and a thousand catties, although the emperor is relaxed." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "With Huang Aiqing's words, I can rest assured, you can kneel down." ”

Huang Xiaotian and Zhang Fulin came out of the Qianqing Palace, only to feel that their backs were cold, if they hadn't bribed the eunuch in advance, and knew the reason why the emperor urgently announced that they had entered the palace, and made mental preparations in advance, it would have been miserable today, and the securities market set off a bloody storm, but it was all the work of these two people, selling funds at the highest point, and deliberately suppressing high-performing blue chip stocks were all their conspiracy.

This is a huge and perfect conspiracy, things have to start from Zhang Fulin took over the securities regulatory yamen, in fact, he is such a speculative official, does not have much professional knowledge, after taking office, he will grow dozens of white heads, fortunately, at this time, there is a master outside the world to give him guidance, the maze of the yamen, set up in the capital, open exchange branches and other tricks, he gave a long time, Zhang Fulin naturally treated this person respectfully, and introduced him to the top boss Huang Xiaotian, Huang Xiaotian was also shocked when he saw this person, and specially allocated a house to raise this person, so as to ask for advice sooner or later。

How to make money safely and efficiently from the securities market are all the ideas of this master, including the proposal of the 10 million Western Regions Fund, which was drafted by him, and the fund with such a large plate is to make money more conveniently and quickly, in the eyes of his old man, opening a shell company to go public and making money can only be regarded as a small fight, and sooner or later it will be present, and if you want to make a big profit, you have to learn to use resources.

Zhang Fulin and Huang Xiaotian colluded to sell funds to some imperial court officials at a discounted price, and at the expense of enveloping a large number of officials, thus forming a special group that specializes in operating the Western Regions to make profits from the excellent performance fund.

This small group includes officials from the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yingtianfu, and even the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, as well as the families and children of many high-ranking officials, all of whom exchange news and advance and retreat together, and the price at which they buy funds is already half cheaper than that of the common people, and they have more information and financial advantages, and each family can make up an astronomical amount of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and such a force is enough to stir up tens of millions of dollars in the market of funds, and the funds fluctuate up and down.

Their operating procedures are like this: first use the cheap chips in their hands to suppress the price of the fund, and when the price reaches the predetermined range, they will absorb a large amount of money, and when they have enough, they will release the news that the Western Army will win a great victory, and how many levels will be cut, and then a few more buy orders will be thrown up, and when it reaches a satisfactory level, it will be thrown again, and the people will chase the rise and kill the fall, and they will never get tired of it, in fact, they are all making wedding clothes for others.

This method of making money is extremely easy and does not break the law, so more and more people have joined this group, and now their power has reached an unimaginable point, the division of labor is clear, the organization is tight, and the financial resources are so strong that they are ashamed of their daily prosperity.

However, there is an uncontrollable aspect of the operation of the Western Regions Fund, that is, it relies on the record of the Western Army, the better the Western Army fights, the higher the fund can rise, but it depends on whether the Western Xia people will give face, this time Yuan Chonghuan's defeat is something that Huang Xiaotian and others did not expect, but they finally learned of the defeat in advance, so in the end, they frantically coaxed the fund, and actually speculated to the sky-high price of three or five dollars.

Before the war situation in the west was clear, the fund could no longer play, but stocks still had to be played, such as China Merchants Bureau, Jiangnan Shipyard, Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, such high-performance stocks have long been the target of Huang Xiaotian and others, but because the shareholders are reluctant to sell, they can't buy stocks with money, and this time they just took advantage of the opportunity of the fund's sharp fall to suppress the stock market and buy cheap chips.

So they raised a large amount of silver taels, regardless of the cost, collected chips from the market at a high price to suppress, one hundred taels of bought stocks changed hands and eighty taels were thrown out, this almost crazy behavior did achieve the effect, the market began to panic, most of the shareholders were afraid that the price would fall again, and adopted the strategy of exiting, which is equivalent to helping them smash the market, even if Peng Jingrong and Hu Yimin prepared five million taels of silver, it was difficult to withstand such selling pressure.

The price is down, so as to open a position, buy these high-performing stocks at a cheap and astonishing price, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the enterprise, which is the ultimate goal of setting off this financial storm, and then the entire economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty will be controlled in the hands of this group.
