And armor orders?

Zhao Kuangbai suddenly became interested, and ran to look for a young boy who was shouting along the street, asking for a publicity leaflet for the public offering.

He was not in a hurry to go home, and planned to buy some stocks.

Anyway, he still has some spare money in his hands. When he became king, the royal family gave some money, and his biological mother Liu Rushi also gave some money. He also got a salary as a naval officer.In addition, there is the prince's salary, he doesn't even want the guards of the palace, and the guards' expenses are all converted into silver to receive.

The servants at home are all family members of the soldiers under his command. They are very safe and reliable, and they can also shorten the relationship with the soldiers.

The housekeeper is a middle-aged court lady who has no relatives in the world, so she is unwilling to leave the palace, and has served her biological mother Liu Rushi for almost 20 years.

There are also a few caretakers in the nursing home, all of whom are veterans from Guangzhou.

Zhao Kuangbo didn't want to have too much to do with Nanjing, so he only went home every winter, took his wife to visit his parents, and had a reunion dinner in the Forbidden City by the way.

The place to buy stocks was in the commercial area outside the city. When Zhao Kuangbai arrived there, many people had already come to watch the excitement.

Huang Qichong and those guys did not make an IPO last year.When he successfully returned from the Indian trade, he immediately advertised in the newspaper and printed leaflets to invite people to promote it along the street.

In the new dynasty of Datong, Guangzhou was the first to open the sea. The commercial atmosphere here is stronger than that of other cities.

Even children of a few years old know that it is very profitable to travel by sea, and there are countless legends about who made a fortune overseas in the streets and alleys.

In the past, maritime merchants, even if they engaged in a joint-stock system, were all partnerships between merchants, and there was never a precedent for absorbing retail funds.This time it directly caused a sensation in the whole city. Those who wanted to obtain the bonus of sea trade but did not want to take risks at sea came to inquire about the situation one after another.

The yard was already full of people, and I saw Huang Qichong explaining there himself: "This share is one tael of silver per share. The total income of the company is calculated every year, and then the dividend per share is calculated according to the total number of shares. It is agreed in advance, profit Not all will be used for dividends, but a part must be reserved for the subsequent growth of the trading company... This year, only [-] shares will be issued, first come, first served, until sold out!"

"I want to buy twenty shares!"

Someone immediately yelled, obviously it was a pre-arranged entrustment, and he said: "My cousin and nephew are also sailors. I heard that the Indian trading company has made a lot of money. Buying their stocks will definitely not lose money!"

"I'll buy ten shares too!"

Several trustees ran to snap up the purchases, and the other commoners were stimulated and rushed in.

"Don't be crowded, line up first!"

"Those who want to buy stocks, come in line to get a lottery number. Each bamboo stick has a number, and the number you get is called, and then you go in and buy stocks."

"..."

The more you scramble, the more crowded you are, for fear that the stocks will be sold out.

It's normal for this kind of thing to happen in Guangzhou.

Because there are too many legends about getting rich in sea trade, most of the common people are unable to participate, and now they finally find a chance.

Zhao Kuangbo was too lazy to squeeze in with the common people. He looked up and glanced at the second floor, and saw a few merchants watching the fun. They should be the old shareholders of the Indian trading company.

Zhao Kuangbai put on the navy cap, then took out the copper whistle, and blew hard——Woo!

The sharp and piercing whistle made the chaotic scene quickly quiet, and everyone was because the government sent someone to come.

Huang Qichong came out in front of the crowd, cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask the military master what is your business?"

"I want to go in and have a cup of tea, would you like to treat me?" Zhao Kuangbo asked.

Huang Qichong put on a smiling face: "Master, please."

A few years ago, the customs was rectified, and the navy was also rectified.Admirals who dare to fight Qiufeng must have a big background, and Huang Qichong dare not neglect.

Zhao Kuangbai was invited to the second floor, and a sea merchant suddenly bowed: "Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness King Han!"

"Excuse me." Zhao Kuangbo nodded.

"King Han?" Huang Qichong was stunned.

Na Haishang said: "His Royal Highness King Han is a low-key person and never disturbs the people. He has lived in Guangzhou for several years, and few people know the true face of Mount Lu."

As soon as this remark came out, other old shareholders paid their respects one after another.

Zhao Kuangbai said, "Sell me a thousand shares of your stock."

Huang Qichong said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. You can give five thousand shares as a gift."

"I said [-] shares, and I need [-] shares. I can't do more or less," Zhao Kuangbo said, "If you don't bring money today, you will send the money tomorrow. Don't use me as a gimmick, just treat me as a Nothing happened. Did you hear that?"

Huang Qichong felt cold in his heart, and quickly said: "Caomin remember."

There are so many rich people in Guangzhou. The [-] shares issued by the Indian trading company were sold out within a few days.

Those who bought stocks would brag to everyone about how powerful the Indian trading company is, and they can get a lot of dividends every year.With these people free publicity, the name of the Indian trading company quickly spread throughout the city of Guangzhou, and people came to ask where they could buy stocks every day.

Chaos happened!

Stocks began to be traded privately, and stocks with a denomination of one tael were sold for one tael after changing hands, and the next day they rose to one tael.

In just a few days, the stock price has doubled, and there is still a rising trend.

This situation is very similar to China after the reform.At that time, there was no stock exchange, but the company could issue shares abroad, so in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu and other cities, private stock trading markets were automatically formed.And there are no rules and rationality at all, and no one to supervise, many of them have become a game of drumming and passing flowers.

There was a similar situation in the Ming Dynasty.

One is that it happened in Yangzhou, and Yanyin was speculated as a futures ticket.

One is that in Suzhou, merchants do not sell commodities, but sell commodity pick-up orders, which are changed hands layer by layer, and the prices are skyrocketing.The government didn't care about it until the Japanese pirates invaded, causing a run on, and a large number of merchants in Suzhou went bankrupt.

Zhao Kuangbai didn't sell the stock until it rose to 1000 taels of silver. 8000 taels of investment turned into [-] taels in an instant.

And not worrying about selling, he asked his servants to sell the stocks in batches.You only need to shout on the street, and someone will come to inquire, and then go to the bank or bank for delivery.

It's not that messy, it's just the beginning.

The huge profits of stocks have given birth to fake stocks.

Although the stocks of Indian trading companies have set up layers of anti-counterfeiting.But many buyers can't figure it out. They bought fake stocks happily, and then put them on sale for a few days, but they were seen through by those who knew the goods.

The police station was overwhelmed, and people came to report every now and then, so they had to send police officers in plain clothes to patrol the streets.

After the birth of fake stocks, fake trading companies appeared.

They claimed to be certain maritime merchants, imitating Indian trading companies to issue shares.After defrauding a group of investors, they quickly took the money and ran away, and the government couldn't find anyone at all.

It's chaotic, but many real trading companies have been tempted, and these people also want to issue shares for financing!

Even Lu Shang came to join in the fun.

Outside Guangzhou, Jiangxi Guild Hall.

Many of the tea, silk, porcelain, and cotton cloth that went to sea from Guangzhou came from Jiangxi, so the Jiangxi Guild Hall was built here early.

A group of Jiangxi freight forwarders are having a meeting at the moment.

"The large sea merchants in Guangdong are not authentic. They drove many small sea merchants to death, and now they come to lower prices. Do we really think we can't find a buyer?"

"It's an old trick, don't make a fuss."

"Recently, there is an Indian trading company that is issuing stocks for speculation. Why don't we do the same?"

"He is a maritime merchant, and someone buys the shares. Which fool would buy the shares of our land merchant?"

"You forgot Daming's Yanyin?"

"How's that?"

"Take porcelain as an example. There is only so much produced every year. Especially the top-grade porcelain, which is controlled by several of us in Guangdong. We make porcelain according to different grades and shapes, and make some kind of salt-like porcelain. Things. Let’s stop playing with the big merchants in Guangdong, and issue porcelain tickets to all the big merchants.”

"Porcelain ticket?"

"Yes, it is the pre-sale of next year's porcelain this year. If you want to buy porcelain, you must buy a porcelain ticket first, and pick up the goods next year with the porcelain ticket. This thing is like Yanyin, which can drive up the price. The key is that we can control the supply of goods. The more high-grade porcelain, the smaller the quantity, and the easier it is to manipulate the price.”

"Good way!"

"..."

Not only stocks were born in Guangzhou, but even futures emerged.

Inside and outside the city of Guangzhou, merchants made a miasma, and the police caught up with fraudsters everywhere, and even alarmed Zuo Buzheng Zheng Sen.

Chapter 1028 [Stock Broker]

In another time and space, Zheng Sen had died of illness for three years.

Now he is still alive and well, with two sons and one daughter, no concubines, and his official position has come to an end.As a son-in-law, he serves as the left chief envoy of a province. If he is transferred to the central government in the future, his rank will drop instead.

On this day, Zheng Sen took his wife, Zhao Zhenfang, out of the city to visit Guandi Temple in microservices.

Because there are too many liars, private stock trading has naturally formed rules.

Everyone went to buy and sell stocks in front of Guandi Temple. The same kind of people gathered together, which was convenient for buyers and easy for sellers.If there are liars, they will be beaten up collectively, and then turned over to the government.

Zhao Zhenfang didn't bring her maid and guards with her, and followed her husband in a wealthy car and got off a few dozen feet outside the Guandi Temple.From afar, I could see crowds of people in front of me. Ever since the rise of the open-air stock market, Guandi Temple seemed to be attending a temple fair every day.

"It's lively." Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile.

Zheng Sen sighed: "The more lively it is, the more difficult it is to manage. The government has caught more than 30 liars."

The couple slipped over and saw many young people sitting on small horses on both sides of the open space in front of the hall.

Zheng Sen walked up to a young man and saw a card next to him, which said: My surname is Xie Mingsheng, my name is Daguang, I am a student of Nanhai County No.Proficient in mathematics, he worked as an apprentice in a shop accountant.It can buy and sell stocks on your behalf, provide stock letter consultation, and help identify true and false...Honest and trustworthy, innocent and innocent.

"Are you taking money?" Zheng Sen asked.

The young man named Xie Sheng immediately became full of energy when he saw the business coming: "Master, madam, but you want to buy stocks? The stock letter consultation is free, and a commission is charged for buying and selling stocks."

Zhao Zhenfang asked: "If I have stocks in my hand and I ask you to sell them on behalf of me, how can I guarantee that you won't cheat with the buyer?"

Xie Sheng said with a smile: "The commission is charged in proportion, it's a convention, and everyone takes two thousandths. The higher the selling price of your stock, the more commission I will charge. Every day the stock price is about the same, there is not much difference between high and low. If you lie to you too much, it will be easy to be discovered; if you lie to you too little, I will not be worthy."

"You won't take the stock and run away?" Zheng Sen asked.

"Large-amount stocks, you keep them yourself. Just leave an address. After I find a buyer, I will bring the buyer to you." Xie Sheng took out two documents, "If you can trust, small-amount stocks can also be deposited in the Here I am. This is my household registration booklet and secondary school graduation certificate, and my address is also on the household registration booklet. I also have a family and a family, and I am afraid of lawsuits, so I will not do such deceitful things."

Zheng Sen glanced at his secondary school graduation certificate: "With your degree, why don't you take the official examination? Even if you don't pass the examination, you can find a regular business student."

Xie Sheng said with a smile: "I used to be an apprentice accountant in a store, and I didn't have a good relationship with Master, so I didn't want to be bullied by him. Later, I started a small business by myself. Now that the stock market is booming, I can make more money doing this."

Zheng Sen said: "I want to buy stocks. I heard that they have been rising, but I am afraid that one day they will fall."

Xie Sheng immediately reassured: "You can rest assured, with the current market price, look for a few big stocks, they will definitely only go up and not down."

"There are many kinds of stocks?" Zheng Sen asked in surprise.

Xie Sheng said like a few treasures: "The most famous one is of course the Indian trading company, commonly known as Tianzhu stock and old stock. The second is Xie Yuan, the boss and I are still in the same family. This Xie Yuan is a time-honored iron smelting company in Foshan. Others use steam engines instead. , He also artificially fried iron and forged steel. Now he finally wakes up and plans to buy some steam engines and expand the iron factory, so he issued shares to raise funds. This stock is commonly known as iron stock, and it is also selling well at present.”

"Aside from old stocks and iron stocks, are there others?" Zheng Sen asked again.

Xie Sheng said: "There are also sugar stocks. The owner is in the sugar business and plans to recruit people to open up wasteland in Java Island to plant sugar cane. To open up wasteland, you have to fight with the natives. The natives in Java Island are very fierce, and you need to buy a lot of soldiers. Okay. Land reclamation also requires people to ask for money. Isn’t this a stock issue to raise some money? This sugar stock is not issued much, only 5000 taels of par value have been issued, but it has risen sharply in the past two days... "

Xie Sheng named seven stocks in a row, and also introduced the background of the stocks in detail.

Zheng Sen was extremely surprised, because so many types of stocks appeared in just over two months since the Indian trading company issued shares.

"I want to take a look at sugar stocks." Zheng Sen said.

There was a wooden box at Xie Sheng's feet. The box was locked, and a rope was tied around his ankle.He took out the key to unlock it, carefully took out a stock, and said, "Don't get dirty or wrinkled."

Zhao Zhenfang came over and examined it carefully with her husband.

Except for the paper material, which is different from the official tickets issued by the imperial court, the rest of the anti-counterfeiting signs are all imitating official tickets.Moreover, there is a serial number on the face of the ticket, and there is half a seam stamp on the front of the ticket. As for the other half stamp, it should be on the bottom ticket of the stock issuing company.Only when the compilation and the seam seal can be matched will it be recognized by the stock issuer, which is convenient for cashing out dividends every year.

"How much has this stock risen?" Zheng Sen asked.

Xie Sheng replied: "The denomination of the leaflet is one yuan, and today it has risen to one yuan and fourty-eight cents. The employer I helped to sell said that it will only be sold for one yuan and fifty cents. If you want to buy it, take it for one yuan and five cents. If you come back tomorrow, you will definitely buy it at this price not."

Zhao Zhenfang was a little strange: "The owners of these stocks, why don't they come to sell them themselves? They insist on letting you sell them."

Xie Sheng said with a smile: "People have to do things every day, so they can't stay in Guandi Temple every day and do nothing else just for a few yuan in stocks."

At this moment, a person came by: "Do you have sugar stocks?"

"One yuan and five." Xie Sheng said.

The man said, "The market price is only one yuan and fourty-eight cents."

Xie Sheng said, "Whether you like it or not."

The man asked, "How much do you have?"

Xie Sheng said, "A total of 53 shares."

The man took out a ticket: "The bank note of Xinlong bank, the ticket value is 100 taels, you check it yourself."

Xie Sheng took the bank note and carefully checked the anti-counterfeiting mark.After confirming that they were correct, he took out 53 sugar stocks and said, "You count it."

The man also began to check the authenticity and quantity of the stock, and nodded with satisfaction: "The goods are right."
