In Tianjin, the staff of the Tianjin Stock Exchange, which has just been built, are busy preparing for the upcoming official opening.
"Old Liu, I really don't understand. What's the use of creating something like this? You're counting on one tael of silver or one tael of silver to raise funds. You don't know how long it will take to raise money in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
"I estimate that your stock may not be sold by then and no one will buy it."
Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin came to Tianjin again. Zhu Houzhao looked at the stock trading hall in front of him with some boredom. It was similar to the stock trading hall in later generations, except that the monitor was replaced by a public notice wall. Other than that, there was nothing special. big difference.
"The accumulated water becomes the sea, the earth becomes the mountain, and small ones become many. Don't underestimate this one tael of silver. We have 150 million people in the entire Ming Dynasty. If one person invests one tael of silver in it, he can raise One hundred and fifty million taels of silver."
"Some people will definitely buy this stock, and more and more people will buy stocks in the future."
Liu Jin said very confidently.
Ordinary people don¡¯t have any good investment channels. Even if they have some money, they just save it and put it in a box under the bed.
This silver has been kept in the box. It is just a lump of iron and has no value or effect. If it can be used, it can promote the development of the Ming Dynasty's economy.
Building roads, building ports, digging canals, etc. are all major projects that benefit the country and the people, but they all require large amounts of capital investment.
¡°It¡¯s one tael of silver per share, and you have to wait until the end of the year to get the dividends.¡±
"The key is that the first one to be listed is the Beijing-Tianjin Railway. The capital has not even been built yet. It is estimated that it will take one or two years to complete. This means that in the past two years, this money has been invested. There¡¯s no reward at all.¡±
"Even if the money is placed in the bank, it will still earn some interest. No one will be stupid enough to buy this stock."
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said with absolute certainty.
"Your Highness, do you want to invest in the Beijing-Tianjin Railway?"
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.
"Vote, why not vote~"
"I have developed a steam locomotive myself. I know its performance very well. With it, traveling between Beijing and Tianjin will be much more convenient in the future, and transporting goods will become faster and more convenient. I will definitely invest in it."
Zhu Houzhao said very decisively.
"That's it, I will vote too~"
"If its stocks really can't be sold, I will buy all the remaining stocks with my own money."
Liu Jin also nodded solemnly and said.
¡°Just kidding, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway can be said to be the most valuable railway line in the Ming Dynasty. If it weren¡¯t for the stock exchange, Liu Jin would have wanted to share it equally with Zhu Houzhao.
It¡¯s best if someone buys the stock. If no one buys it, you¡¯ll eat it all.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll start work as soon as possible anyway, I can¡¯t wait any longer.¡±
Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.
A total of 10 million taels of silver were raised for the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, of which Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin each contributed 3 million taels of silver, and the remaining 4 million taels of silver were placed on the stock exchange to raise funds from the public.
Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao¡¯s early funding has been completed, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank has been established, and preparations are currently underway for the start of construction.
At the same time, the construction of the Daming Stock Exchange has been completed and will be officially put into operation. The first stock in the history of the Ming Dynasty was discovered, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank stock.
On the eighth day of August in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the Tianjin Stock Exchange officially opened. It was also the day when the first stock of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing-Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank, was officially issued.
On this day, the genius had just dawned. In the streets and alleys of Tianjin, newsboys carrying newspapers quickly dispersed to every corner of Tianjin.
Soon, the shouts of newsboys began to sound in the streets and alleys of Tianjin.
¡°Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers~¡±
"Tianjin Stock Exchange officially opens~"
"The first stock in Ming Dynasty was officially listed~"
"Beijing-Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank has officially raised four million taels of silver from Quan Daming. Anyone who wants to buy stocks should apply for subscription at the Tianjin Stock Exchange as soon as possible."
"What you need to know when buying stocks on the Tianjin Stock Exchange is that all stock buying and selling only use, the wealth he owns is less than one-tenth of Battelle, the gap is really too big.
The main reason for this is that Battelle knows how to invest and understands how money can make money. He has opened factories, plantations and trading houses, so he has more and more money.
I didn¡¯t trust the Han people at first, so I didn¡¯t invest, and the gap emerged.
Thinking about it carefully, what Battelle said makes sense. I should follow suit.
"It's only five thousand taels of silver. Even if it's gone, I won't feel bad. Besides, Mr. Liu shouldn't have this little money from everyone. With Mr. Liu's financial resources, he can take out this little money at any time."
Gertai added.
"That's right. Who is Mr. Liu? How could he defraud these millions of taels of silver?"
Battelle also nodded solemnly, then thought about it and said to his follower: "Immediately go to the bank and get tens of thousands of taels of silver out, collect a round amount of 100,000 taels of silver, and buy 100,000 shares later."
"You two really have a lot of money and no place to spend it. You just invested so much money in one go. You are so rich!"
Hu He looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shake his head. He had decided that this stock was really worthless and investing money in it would be a waste of money. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
