Chapter 1226: Headlines on the Front Page (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

At the beginning of May, spring is gradually passing, and the tentacles of summer have touched the world.

The morning air is still cool and pleasant, but by noon it is already a little hot.

Luckily, Nai Anne is a coastal harbor city, and the summer is not unbearable even if it is hot.

As the direct point of the sun gradually moves north, the day dawns very early.

Every day, when the sun is just getting up, the city has awakened and become noisy and lively.

Especially in front of the stall selling breakfast, there is always a large group of office workers. Most of them are ordinary people such as small government employees, ordinary employees of companies, shop guys, salesmen, etc.

With the rapid development of the economy of Niddle City, a large number of people gathered, and as a result, land prices began to soar.

With the salaries of these ordinary people on the front page of Chapter 1226 (asking for monthly tickets), they can't afford to buy a mansion in the city. You can only live in a relatively remote place with lower housing prices.

This has led to a significant increase in their commuting time, although the authorities are also keenly aware of this situation and have increased the number of shuttles. But......

However, first, there is a relative lag in policy. Second, with the growing immigrant population in Nai'an, their work is only a drop in the bucket.

For this reason, those ordinary people scolded Angus for being a super idiot behind their backs. But in order to get to work in time, they had to get up very early while scolding.

Because they wake up early and don't want to alarm their families, they often don't have breakfast at home when they go out, but settle it at the roadside vendors.

Dig out a few copper plates, buy a meatloaf or bread with ham, and eat as you go, ignoring the faint choking fog and dust raised by the streets.

The smoke came from the chimneys of the workshops outside the city.

As a symbol of industrial civilization, those tall chimneys are billowing smoke day and night, sprinkling the PM2.5 polluted air that exceeds the standard on the front page of Chapter 1226 (asking for a monthly ticket) to fall into the city of Niddle.

Fortunately, Nedel City is facing the sea, and the sea breeze is strong. Over the years. Before the choking exhaust fumes could turn Nedel into a breathless fog, the smoke would be blown away.

However, when the sea breeze stops, the whole city is shrouded in a white mist.

As the sun rises. And there was a growing noise in the city.

The hustle and bustle of people, the sound of sparkling wheels, the high-pitched cries of sellers, the rumbling of the whistle of the passing train, the dense flow of people on the streets, the shops lining the streets, and the brightly colored signs and advertisements. Let Nedel, who was once quiet and plain, faintly have the appearance of a metropolis.

At seven o'clock, a large group of teenagers appeared on every street corner.

They were all in their teens, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and carrying large cloth bags the size of them, and they sat or stood in front of the door of a house on the corner of the street, staring at the intersection.

Just when they were looking forward to it. A troika appeared at the junction, piled high with goods, carefully and tightly wrapped in waterproof and arsonous fabric.

"It's coming. It's coming~!"

"It's finally here. ”

"Thank goodness...... The teenagers were shaken, and then they jumped up from the ground, patted the dust on their buttocks, chirped, and ran up to the carriage.

When they arrived, they screamed and grabbed the cable that bound the goods, and ran with the wagon. One of the teenagers in a blue hat shouted loudly to the coachman as he ran, "Old Jani, is there any big news today?"

The driver had to pull the reins in case the vehicle hit them. Hearing this, he smiled heartily and said loudly: "Today is amazing, there is great news, and it is guaranteed to be sold." “

"Oh~!" the teenagers cheered, and simply pushed the carriage behind and sped forward.

The sales of each person's newspaper every day can be directly linked to their salary. The more you sell, the more money you get. With money, it is natural to subsidize the family, buy something new, and even at dinner, there will be a few more pieces of fragrant meat on the plate.

The carriage stopped at one of the doors of a house, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and busied himself with untying the ropes.

The teenagers also stepped forward to help, and some even climbed on the roof of the car and lifted the covered tarpaulin, revealing the neatly stacked newspapers underneath with the scent of fresh ink.

At this time, an old man with snow-white hair walked in the house.

Wearing an apron blackened by ink, he clapped his hands at the children and shouted, "Don't make noise, don't make a noise, rabbit cubs, go to the line." If anyone makes trouble, they won't send it to anyone. ”

The boys were startled, jumped down from the carriage in a hurry, and then formed a long line behind the old man, staring at the slightly grayed newspapers on the carriage.

The coachman grinned, and then handed the old man the unwrapped newspaper, each stack of fifty copies, which had been sorted out by the workers before leaving the factory.

The old man glanced down, then picked up the newspaper and stuffed it into the satchel of the blue-hatted young man in front of him, and said, "Igo, yours." ”

"Give me a few more, Grandpa House. The young man looked at the old man pitifully and pleaded, "I can sell it." Last time, I sold 100 copies alone. ”

"Eighty-seven, don't think I'm old enough to remember," Old Man House, who was distributing the newspapers, glared at him, grabbed a stack of a dozen newspapers from the side and stuffed them into his bag, "Okay, get out, next one." ”

The boy smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, took out a newspaper and glanced at it, raised it in his hand and ran happily down the street.

At the same time, at all major intersections, there were such newsboys on the streets, shouting loudly.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers. The latest N'On Daily. ”

"Outside the number, the headlines, the world's first railway is about to go public~! ”

"Shocking the insider, first-hand information from the top management, the railway company's assets exceed 100 million, why do you need to raise funds from your boss, "Naian Daily" exclusive interpretation. ”

Mr. Clark, a senior investigative reporter at the world's largest newspaper, The Planet Daily, reported in depth on the great significance of the railway company's listing. ”

"Huge positives, the stock market is about to skyrocket, Beni River Economic Times interprets the stock market in the post-rail era. ”

"This is the only chance to miss today. Regret three generations, high-end interpretation of "Nydel Focus...... Freshly baked newspapers that smelled of heavy ink were waved and sold loudly along the streets. Crisp and loud children's voices flew into the busy and crowded streets of Nedel's morning.

In addition to them, there are also door-to-door delivery people who have ordered the year's newspaper to be delivered, and their loud voices use their loud voices to shout the names of the newspapers like singing, reminding the heads of households to come out to pick up the newspapers.

Their voices immediately caught the attention of passers-by.

Passers-by did not hesitate to surround the newsboys selling newspapers, or crowd around the newsstands on the streets, just like housewives fighting on discount days in supermarkets. Snatch up today's latest newspapers.

These people are simple, but they are not stupid, they all know: information is money.

As long as you can know the news before others, you can make a fortune from it. (P.S., the Rothschilds made a fortune on this back then.) )

Therefore, they hurriedly threw down copper plates or silver coins, and without even waiting for the newsstand owner to find money, they reached out and grabbed a newspaper and ran.

Even the hurried carriages were parked in the streets. The rich men in the carriages also joined in the snatching of newspapers.

Stalled vehicles caused congestion on the roads, and roads throughout the city were paralyzed in a matter of minutes.

But today no one will complain loudly in the back, and there will be no city guards who manage the traffic to drive them away.

Everyone is rushing to be in the first place. See what today's newspaper is about.

The last time there was such a rush to buy newspapers on the streets of Nader was when the Ruman Expeditionary Force had annihilated Haddou and the whole country was celebrating.

Even the owners who sold meatloaf and baked bread next to them couldn't help but throw away their business and rush into the army vying for newspapers.

"Don't rob, don't rob, there's still in the back, and it will be printed today~!" The owner of the newsstand didn't expect that today's business would be so good, and before he had time to maintain order, he was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd that swarmed.

In the end, he could only crawl on the ground. Crawled out of the dense middle of the human legs. When he got up and leaned against the wall to catch his breath, he saw the crowd disperse like a low tide, and all that remained on the newsstand were bare wooden planks and a large pile of copper plates.

In Nedel City, all the newly listed newspapers were snapped up in less than five minutes. The formation is like a certain Chinese person grabbing a train ticket for the Spring Festival.

The person who got the newspaper didn't care if he was late for his carriage or work, so he unfolded the thin newspaper and stood on the street and read it.

There was also a group of people in the back who didn't buy the newspaper, so they could only covet the people who got the newspaper, and some guys even went up to peek at it with a cheeky face.

The person who paid for the newspaper certainly did not want anyone to take advantage of him, and immediately turned around and left a peeping back.

"Maybe there's still the next newsstand, so let's go. "Someone suddenly thought that there was a newsstand at the intersection, and while shouting, he pulled his legs and ran.

The others woke up like a dream and followed closely.

With the release of the newspaper, the already chaotic and noisy morning of Nedel became even more chaotic.

Everyone is talking about the same thing, the Flying Eagle Railway's plans to go public.

Everyone seemed to be excited, as if they were the chairman of the Flying Eagle Group, expressing their opinions on the development of the Flying Eagle Railway, and arguing with their colleagues or neighbors.

At present, the number of migrant workers living in and around Naidel City is conservatively estimated to be more than 500,000, and the detailed number is difficult to count.

The print run of each newspaper in Nedel City is not large, after all, there are not many people who know how to read and write these days, and there are not many people who can afford to buy newspapers, and some of them are still set by government agencies and public funds.

There are more than 10,000 copies of each newspaper, and even if the total number of additional prints does not exceed 80,000 copies.

It turned out that the people in the newspaper discovery agency thought that this number should be enough, and with the number of views, more than half of the people in Nai could see it.

But the truth is that all the newspapers were snapped up as soon as they appeared, and the people of Nidel have long recognized that the stock market is a magical place, and any news related to the stock market will not be spared.

The scarcity of newspapers has even given rise to temporary scalpers, and these quick-witted puppies will add several times the price of the newspaper to sell it to those who are not in a hurry to buy the newspaper, and make huge profits from the middle.

Angus walked through the gate of the front yard of the Doge's Palace, and as he got out of the carriage, he sighed, and secretly wondered: Nedel seemed to be all out of order today.

The streets are crowded with passers-by reading newspapers.

When Angus entered the door, he was surprised to find that even the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard who were not on duty next to him were huddled together to read the newspaper. They were still muttering loudly about what was going to go up, what was going to go up, what was going to go up.

"Crazy, all crazy," Angus muttered. He casually put the newspaper under his armpit and walked into the office building in a leisurely manner.

After entering the door, Angus suddenly realized that the situation here was also a little wrong.

In the past, when he entered the door, the officials passing by would stop and salute him respectfully.

But today everyone in the office building seems to be in a hurry, and most of them spread out a newspaper with their hands outstretched, and walk without raising their heads. I didn't notice him as a butler at all.

Even people who didn't have a newspaper in their hands crowded around others, poked their heads out, and asked with concern, "What did you say above, what did you say......?"

"When will it open publicly~!"

"If it's going to be miserable today...... Angus was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and he made two "uh-huh-hmm" twice, and deliberately coughed heavily in the hall.

The civil servants who were busy passing by around were awakened and stopped. Looking up from the newspaper, he looked in astonished direction from which the voice came and found the Governor. The government officials above 10,000 people were looking at them with a gloomy and sophisticated expression.

Passers-by hurriedly put away the newspapers, bowed their heads and did not dare to look at the magistrate.

"During working hours, work hard. Angus lectured them with a straight face, and turned to walk up the stairs.

The civil servants in the hall looked at each other in silence and hurried to their respective offices.

Angus walked into his office and said to the secretary aunt who was sorting out the essay outside, "Susan, pour me a cup of tea." ”

Then he collapsed heavily on his desk and chair, and took a slow breath. He said to himself, "I'm old, and I'm about to be useless." ”

The secretary placed a cup of hot tea in Angus's hand, and Angus had time to open the newspaper and peruse the article on it.

Seeing the city's news about the listing of the Flying Eagle Railway above, even Angus couldn't help but slowly sink into it and read it carefully word by word.

As Lorraine's assistant. He knew that the articles in these newspapers might have come from the hands of the proprietresses. Now the world knows the most about the stock market, of course, Lorraine and Leo, followed by Lorraine's girlfriends.

If you want to talk about the stock market in detail, you can only write it yourself.

Many of the insightful articles in the newspaper were actually written by the family of the Governor of Lorraine, but under a pseudonym, and Angus even knew which pseudonym belonged to the girl.

Angus was particularly caught the attention of one of the articles detailing the plans and scale of the railway group's IPO, which was signed by Sinopac.

Angus knows that this unique name belongs to the chairman of the Flying Eagle Group, Leo Xiaopa, and it is said that the name comes from a legendary company that is very bullish, and the cow fork is unique in the world, and consumers are like big fat pigs in Ukraine, no matter how much nonsense they do, they will not lose money.

Therefore, he was cited as an idol by Chairman Leo, and his Flying Eagle Group also had to provide good after-sales service, and this piece was posted every year.

Angus didn't even notice someone walking into his office and sitting down across from him.

After reading the newspaper at the end, Angus put it down, shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong?" a voice next to him asked.

Angus didn't think about it, and said, "The plate is too big for one Ney to eat." ”

Then he suddenly came to his senses, jumped up and said nervously: "My lord, why don't you call me when you come." ”

Lorraine beckoned him to sit down, and said, "You have also seen the article, and the methods have been written, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Angus sat down a little uneasily, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "How many shares are you going to issue, my lord?"

"We plan to issue bonds and stocks together, and those who don't understand stocks can buy corporate bonds first, divided into one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year tenors, with different interest rates, and the first two million to look at the market. ”

Angus nodded and said, "This problem is not big, with the credibility of the Flying Eagle Group, they will rush to subscribe." ”

Lorraine also nodded approvingly, the Flying Eagle Group has excellent profitability and good reputation, and some people are willing to lend money to the Flying Eagle Group, although the interest rate given by Lorraine is not high, the picture is safe.

"Stocks......" Lorraine said, "After consultation with the Holy See, we have agreed that the shares to be issued to the public cannot exceed 20 percent. ”

"That's 20 million. Angus said with a stern expression: "My lord, with all due respect, we people don't have so much money. Now Ne An is desperate for funds, and those who have spare money have already invested in factories and farms, in fact, we are already in a shortage of money. ”

Lorraine smiled confidently and said: "I understand your worries, the first batch is only three to five percent, see the effect of the market, and then gradually increase the issuance, and besides, our target is the entire continent." ”

"That's three million to five million," Angus nodded, "It's not very difficult, even retail investors can eat it." ”

Lorraine smiled and spread his hands, and said: "Our goal is the sea of stars, it's not interesting to cheat Nell for a lot of money, let's go, follow me to the stock market to have a look." ”

Lorraine and Angus walked out of the office building, Leo was already impatient in the carriage, and the chubby little hands lined up impatiently, shouting at Lorraine: "Hurry up, hurry up, I already smell the smell of money~!" (To be continued) rq!!
