Chapter 490: Love the People Like a Son
In October, a new stock appeared on the stock market, and a railroad company in the Americas became a dark horse in the near future.
"Brother Ten, why are your stocks selling so well?"
"The two most popular speculative themes in this era, one is railways and the other is South America, and my stocks account for both factors, which is certainly suitable for speculation. ”
"I know railways are hot spots all over the world, but why is South America also a speculative subject?"
"Because in the eyes of Europeans, South America is full of abundant minerals and fertile estates, as long as you invest in it, it is the source of wealth, so such stocks have naturally become particularly sought-after concept stocks in the market. ”
"I see. Ren Xiaodie swallowed, "Then Brother Ten, how much money can you make from this stock?"
"According to the practice of the financial world, when we set up a company, we only need to pay 10% of the face value of the issued shares, and when we speculate in the market, we often sell the mining industry at a price of several times the face value. Ji Aojian calculated, "The current market price of the stock is 500% of the face value, which means that it has earned fifty times, so so-so." ”
"Fifty times?" Ren was shocked, "It's a robbery, no, it's faster than a robbery!"
"Don't make a fuss, my railroad is genuine, and it's completely worthy of investors. Ji Aojian said disdainfully, "There are many stocks on the London Stock Exchange, but they are all purely made up. ”
"Made up?"
"Yes, some so-called mining companies in the Americas have no corresponding minerals in South America at all. "Ji Ao Kendo. "But the results of these stocks are amazingly good, and the listed stock price has reached 1,000 percent, 2,000 percent of the face value. ”
"You can cheat money this way......"
Ren said enviously. "Brother Ten, we have a lot of land in China. There are a lot of minerals, why don't we get a rich mine in the name of a rich mine and do a vote?"
"You want to speculate on Chinese mining stocks? That's impossible. ”
"It's all minerals too, why not?"
"Europeans have been immigrating to the Americas for hundreds of years since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and psychologically, they feel that the mineral land in South America is more realistic. "Ji Ao Kendo," and this place in China, for the vast majority of European people. It's a distant and vague concept, and you will feel that investment is too risky in your mind. ”
Ren Xiaodie said unconvinced, "You just said that most of those South American stocks are made up, what's the truth?"
"This involves the identification of the worldview, they just believe in the minerals of South America, can you change their minds?" Ji Ao Kendo, "South American stocks are an enduring classic concept. It's a wave every few decades, and people believe it. ”
"Why do they keep believing that they are scammed by South American stocks every few decades?"
Ji Aojian sighed, "The only lesson that mankind has learned from history. I just can't learn any lessons. ”
"Brother Ten, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
"Retail investors only have seven seconds of memory, so you should understand, right?"
"I see. Ren said sullenly. "Seeing that there is money all over the place, I can't make up a concept stock. It seems that I have no chance of getting rich. ”
"Engaging in stocks is like gambling, don't count on that. Ji Aojian said. "You should think about working hard to get rich. ”
"Hard work to get rich, a lifetime of whiteness. ”
"What did you say?"
"No, no. Ren Xiaodie hurriedly said, "Brother Ten, I am very much in favor of hard work and getting rich, you can show me a clear way." ”
Ji Aojian asked, "Do you like storytelling?"
Ren blinked in confusion, "What's the story?"
"When you hear all kinds of palace secrets and wild history anecdotes, do you have a ** that you want to spread everywhere?"
"Ah, of course. "It's my biggest hobby to communicate with other people. ”
"Well, it's easy. Ji Ao Kendo, "If you write down these stories, it will easily become a bestseller, and this is a way to get rich." ”
"Spread gossip and get rich?"
"The privacy of ordinary people is called gossip, and the privacy of celebrities is called history. Ji Aojian said casually, "The public, the most concerned about court secrets and celebrity anecdotes, as long as you continue to create in this field, money will naturally roll in." ”
Fluttershy asks, "But where do I get the material all the time?"
"You idiot, you're a diplomat. Ji Ao Kendao, "What is your job? is to chat nonsense with colleagues from all over the world every day, and exchange gossip about upper-class people...... No, no, it's an exchange of information about important people, so do you have to worry about running out of materials?"
"It's true that I don't have to worry about the material. Ren Xiaodie only felt a burst of light in front of her, "So, Brother Ten, what story do you think I should write first so that I can become an instant hit?"
"Think for yourself. ”
"I haven't talked to my peers a lot yet, and I haven't accumulated much material. Ren Xiaodie said with a bitter face, "Brother Ten, a good person will do it to the end, and then show me a little more way." ”
"Since you say so, let's write the story of the Queen of England. ”
Fluttershy's curiosity came up immediately, "What's the exciting story of King Victoria lately?"
Ji Aojian sighed, "The queen loves the people like a son." ”
"How?"
"Did you know that there was a food crisis in Europe this year?"
Ren shook her head in confusion, "I don't know." ”
"How do you become a diplomat, you don't pay attention to important social information at all. Ji Aojian shook his head, "This year, the grain harvest in southern and central Europe is failing, and the food shortage in the British Isles is also very serious, especially the great famine in Ireland, and the potatoes are infected with leaf blight, and the harvest is almost out of order." ”
"Then with such a serious food crisis, how can the queen love the people like a son?"
"The Queen cares so much about the people of England that Ireland continues to export grain here. ”
"Oh. Ren Xiaodie answered, and suddenly came to her senses, "Didn't you say that Ireland had the worst famine, so why did you export grain to England?"
"Who knows, perhaps, in the eyes of the English, the Irish are not human. ”
"Don't the Irish have human rights?"
"You think too much, who stipulates that the Irish must have human rights?" Ji Aojian looked at her with disdain, "The British don't worry about this, as a friendly person, do you plan to pay attention to their human rights and interfere in other people's internal affairs?"
"I don't mean to interfere in internal affairs. Ren shook her head, "But are the Irish people just going on in tragedy, and no one is coming to help them?"
"Disaster relief work, too, is a little bit, but it's even more speechless. ”
"What does that mean?"
"There are still a lot of well-wishers in the world. Ji Aojian coughed, "For example, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire announced that he would donate 10,000 pounds to the people of Ireland. ”
"Sounds good. ”
Then Queen Victoria heard about it and immediately demanded that he donate only a thousand pounds. ”
"Ah, why is that?"
"Because the Queen herself gave two thousand pounds. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "You are a foreigner, why do you want to donate more than the queen, it is obviously unreasonable, what is the purpose behind this, what is the intention?"
Ren Xiaodie raised her forehead and said, "The queen is really big-hearted, and then?"
The Sultan had to donate £1,000. However, the Ottomans sent three more ships loaded with grain to Ireland. ”
"Wow, I can't see that Osman is very powerful, so loving. ”
"It's a pity," Ji Aojian sighed again, "The world's invincible British fleet is working hard to intercept these grain delivery ships everywhere. ”
"And why?"
"It may be that the British felt that the Ottoman Empire's actions were a deliberate slap in the face, so they wanted to thwart the vicious plot of the Islamic countries. ”
“...... Tenth brother, why do I sound mysterious?"
"What's wrong?"
"Is it true that something that breaks through the lower limit like this?"
"It's all a public joke in diplomatic circles, and a lot of things are published in the newspapers. Ji Aojian waved his hand, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Ottoman embassy for verification, and then find some British officials to talk to you, and you will naturally be able to confirm the truth." ”
Ren Xiaodie thought for a moment, "Brother Ten, this story is indeed very exciting, but if I write it, will I still be alive?"
Ji Aojian said strangely, "What do you mean by this?"
"If I expose these things that the queen has done to this extent, then it is a crime of deception, and the great rebellion must be counted, right?"
"Don't worry, the country is different, this is Europe, it is a holy place of democracy and freedom. ”
"Brother Ten, when you say this, I still don't feel safe at all. ”
"To put it another way, this is the UK, a standard capitalist country. ”
"What happened to the capitalist countries?"
"The so-called capitalist state is a country controlled by capital, and the government is strictly restricted. Ji Ao Kendao, "The capitalist class is very happy to see the prestige of the government being attacked and undermined, so it is not a big problem for you to write such a book." Besides, this is not Prussia. ”
"But I'm still worried. ”
"Then you can use a pen name. Ji Ao Kendao, "Written out, it's not your real name, who are you afraid of coming to you?"
"That's a great idea. "But if I use a pen name, if it does become a bestseller and the publisher doesn't recognize me, who will protect my interests?"
"I signed up for a publishing house and was promoting various best-selling books. Ji Ao Kendao, "I can sign a contract with you now." ”
Ren Xiaodie smiled and said, "Brother Ten, it really depends on you in the end." (To be continued......)
