Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Many things about the Egyptian Canal have been arranged. The next step is to raise funds for the Egyptian Canal to be listed, and then start construction of the Egyptian Canal.

    For this matter, Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Zhu Houzhao also stayed in Tianjin and began to carry out some planning.

    "Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers!"

    ¡°The Ming Dynasty wanted to build a canal in Egypt that connected the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and named it the Egyptian Canal.¡±

    ¡°Once the Egyptian canal is completed, traveling to and from Europe will become more convenient and safer in the future.¡±

    ¡°Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers~¡±

    "The stock market continues to be hot, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock price exceeded 40 taels of silver, and the Changlu Saltworks stock price rose to 35 yuan!"

    "The value of cotton continues to plummet, and the cotton production in Tianzhu region increases sharply~"

    With the shouts of the newsboys, the streets and alleys that were originally sparsely populated due to the cold suddenly came to life. A large number of people poured out from every corner and gathered around the newsboys to buy today's newspapers.

    ? One newspaper after another has been delivered to the hands of young and old men in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. People have become accustomed to drinking morning tea and reading newspapers every morning.

    If you don¡¯t read the newspaper every day, you will almost feel uncomfortable all over. Even when you go out, you won¡¯t even have a topic to chat about, and you won¡¯t be able to chat with anyone.

    ¡°What kind of place is this Egypt?¡±

    "You don't even know about Egypt. This Egypt is in the northeastern corner of Africa and is located at the core of transportation in Europe, Asia, and Africa."

    "Then why build the canal?"

    "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? It's not clearly written in the newspaper."

    ¡°Now if our Ming ships want to go to Europe, they must go around Africa or go to the Golden Continent. The journey is long and the wind and waves are very strong. It is extremely dangerous. Every year, ships have accidents at sea.¡±

    ¡°If the Egyptian canal is built to connect the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, then the journey to Europe will be shorter and the safety will be greatly improved.¡±

    ¡°Taking the Indian Ocean, Arabian, and Red Sea route, there is land along the way, which greatly increases safety, which is very important for our business travel in Ming Dynasty.¡±

    "Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to build the canal?"

    "Of course, the newspaper said that we are going to list a new stock on the Tianjin Stock Exchange, called the Egyptian Canal Trading Company, and raise 20 million taels of silver from all the people of the Ming Dynasty to build this canal."

    "Doesn't this mean that new stocks are about to be listed?"

    "Yes, the listing is scheduled for the Lantern Festival. We have to go there in advance. It is cheaper to buy stocks at the beginning of the listing. They are only one tael of silver per share. You can hold them in your hands for a few months and turn over the stocks.  It doesn¡¯t matter a few times.¡±

    "When the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock was listed, I went to watch the excitement. I brought money with me and wanted to buy it, but I felt it was empty and I didn't buy it. I regretted it for this."

    "If I had bought shares of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway at that time, I would have really made a fortune now."

    "So, this time, we must not miss it. We should exchange the banknotes first and buy them all when the time comes."

    "Is this possible?"

    "This canal is not in our Ming Dynasty, it is in Egypt. This Egypt is not the land of our Ming Dynasty. This money will not be wasted."

    "Oh, my brother, you only have a few silver coins in your hand. Your family fortune is only a few hundred taels of silver. Compared with 20 million silver coins, it's nothing like a drop of money."

    "Those major shareholders are not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

    "What's more, do you think our Ming Dynasty is easy to bully?"

    "The King of Egypt has signed an agreement with our Ming Dynasty. If they dare to go back on their word, our Ming Dynasty will definitely make them look good."

    ¡°Buy boldly and confidently, because I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to buy this stock by then.¡±

    "This canal is a good thing."

    ¡°Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was infamous throughout the ages, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is still benefiting our north and south of the Ming Dynasty and the areas on both sides of the canal.¡±

    ¡°The initial investment in building the canal is huge, but once it is built, we will just sit back and collect the money.¡±

    "Yes, yes, that's right~"

    "The geographical location of the Egyptian canal is very critical. After it is built in the future, just collecting tolls will be enough. This is not just one or two years, nor ten or twenty years, but one hundred, two hundred, one  If you collect it for thousands of years, you can buy some shares of the Egyptian Canal and keep it as a legacy for future generations to pass on to future generations, and just get dividends every year."

    ?bsp; Soon, with the ringing of bells, the stock market finally opened in the 18th year of Hongzhi. A large number of investors who had been impatient for a long time entered the exchange in an orderly manner under the maintenance of the security of the exchange. Then, in a hurry,  Hou anxiously came to the new stock subscription window, waiting for the listing of Egyptian Canal stocks.

    "Egyptian Canal New Stock Listing~"

    "Because there are too many people buying, in order to take care of everyone, we have informed you that the purchase limit is one hundred shares per day!"

    "Each person is limited to one hundred shares per purchase~"

    Soon, it will be time for new shares to be listed.

    The staff in the exchange started shouting with tin speakers.

    Hearing this voice, stock investors immediately went crazy, especially some wealthy people who had worked hard to prepare banknotes, but now each person is limited to purchasing one hundred shares at a time. Isn¡¯t this nonsense?

    But it also received a lot of cheers, and many people at the back suddenly felt relieved and no longer worried about not being able to buy stocks.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
