Chapter 1123 Misappropriation of money (seeking a monthly ticket)
"It seems we can only let the railway company go public." Lorraine touched her nose and murmured.
"Going public?" Angus and the others looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
"Okay~!" Chairman Leo cheered, raised his hands and jumped up, spinning around happily, shouting with a wide smile: "Listing, listing, listing~!
It’s good to go public, it’s good to make money by going public~!”
Xiaobai also raised his nose and swung his butt in celebration like his boss.
The eyes of the officials below immediately lit up, and they were secretly happy. They almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking: Here is the opportunity to make a fortune~!
In the two years since the establishment of the Nai'an Stock Exchange, these people, as the main officials of a province and the most well-informed people in power, have also experienced the new affairs of stocks from unfamiliarity to doubt, from doubt to wait-and-see, and from wait-and-see to investment.
The process from devotion to obsession.
So far, all they talk about at the dinner table is stocks.
When something unheard of like stocks and stock exchanges first appeared in Nai'an, everyone looked at it with doubts, surprise and confusion.
I don’t know what this thing that is favored by the Governor of Lorraine is.
When they heard that the stock exchange is just a way of handing over their money to others, everyone in Naian laughed.
They think that their governor is a fool to make money. What idiot would throw his hard-earned money into the stock market and give it to others to spend?
Even on the gate of the stock exchange market, there is a line of large characters written: "The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market."
This doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it.
The first batch of companies listed on the stock exchange were all subsidiaries of the Flying Eagle Group.
Including Flying Eagle Shipyard, Flying Eagle Machinery, Flying Eagle Metal, Flying Eagle Telecommunications, Flying Eagle Steam Power and other companies.
They are all high-quality assets of Feiying Group.
The first batch of people to buy this truly original stock were Lorraine, Leo and Catherine, as well as the girls' families, such as Lester, Emperor Rudelun, Baron Roquand, etc.
There are also employees, managers of the Flying Eagle Group, people from venture capital companies, etc. These are the cronies of Lorraine and Leo. These shares are even half sold and half given away as a reward for their hard work.
People in Nai'an are still waiting to see the jokes on the stock market, and even bet on when the stock exchange market will close down.
A month passed, and the stock exchange market was deserted. At first, some people poked their heads in, but later passers-by didn't even take a look.
Three months have passed and the gate is still deserted.
But as the first dividend payment of the new year began, and the people who got the money publicized it, the stock instantly became hot.
As long as something can make money, people are interested. The Naian people suddenly discovered that there really is such a good thing?
Nai'an's major newspaper promptly opened a stock market column to explain in detail the role of stocks and ways to make profits.
Everyone began to wonder, can this stock really make money?
The first batch of bold citizens began to invest in the stock market. They carefully selected a few stocks with excellent profits and carefully bought a little. The stock market finally began to rise, although it was minimal.
Before the first batch of people who entered the market had made money, ordinary people discovered the benefits of the stock market for the first time.
After hearing that they could make money, Naian people crowded into the stock market like sharks smelling the smell of blood.
The deserted stock market suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
Mankind’s first stock exchange ushered in its first development peak in history.
People chased blue chip stocks, the share price of Flying Eagle Group soared, and more people profited from transactions, including many legends of getting rich overnight.
At this time, Nai'an officials also turned their attention to the stock market.
Civil servants have always been a conservative group. They will not join when it is unprofitable or full of risks.
They won't get a share of the pie until they're sure they can make money.
As upper-class people who hold power and are well-informed, it is much easier for them to obtain inside information than ordinary people.
They know which stock is currently popular and has the most profits. Which company currently has high profits and has large year-end dividends.
That company is growing fast and will become a blue chip stock in the future.
Which upcoming policy will affect the development of certain industrial companies and stimulate their profits.
Relying on this information that ordinary people could not know, Nai'an officials made successful investments in the stock market and quickly obtained huge returns.
Only then did they realize the joy of Governor Lorraine. The money came so easily~!
Then a clever question came to mind. They had earned so much by buying stocks. As the rule makers of the game, Lord Lorraine and Chairman Leo, how much should they have earned?
Careful people calculated the total amount of shares issued in the stock market, and then they were frightened by this number.
Stocks suddenly became popular in Nai'an's civil service system and became a common practice.
The news even reached Ruman City, and some people rushed over with cash.
Citizens who were originally hesitant and waiting were also inspired. Since civil servants buy stocks, they will definitely make money. When have you ever seen those guys lose money?
A large amount of idle private funds flowed into the stock market like water from the Beni River, with funds in the tens of millions.
Abundant funds have greatly stimulated the development of Nai'an Industrial, and the rapid development of Feiying Group has been assisted by the stock market.
Seeing how powerful it is to make money by going public, more private factories are also eager to join in and make a fortune.
Only when they flocked to the exchange did they realize that if they wanted to be listed, they realized that it was not that simple.
You can’t circle gold coins if you want to, but you can circle them if you want.
As for assets alone, 99% of factories are blocked.
The scale of assets is insufficient and it is not allowed to be listed.
Lorraine has already formulated strict rules and regulations and monitoring methods for the stock market, and drawn red lines.
Although the people of Nai'an used their brains and quickly understood the rules of the stock market, in front of Lorraine, they were still beginners at the primary school level.
Finally, a large-scale mining and metallurgical private company finally entered the stock market and became the first private company to be listed on the stock market after going through many difficulties.
)
This company called Grom Mining issued 30% of its shares and raised more than 100,000 yuan that day. The stock price doubled within a few days. The company's assets instantly exceeded 700,000.
It is said that the business owner Sir Grom fainted on the spot after hearing the news, and it took him a long time to rescue him.
The first thing I said when I woke up was "Thank you Governor Lorraine".
Since the legend of Grom Mine doubling overnight, the stock market has developed like an explosion.
If it was just a theory before, they still couldn't understand it. Now that there are practical examples, everyone has a clue.
The first group of people to buy Grom Mining shares were Naian's senior officials. They bought the shares through private channels before the shares were officially listed.
Lorraine knows this very well. No one understands the role a healthy stock market can play better than Lorraine.
But the Governor of Lorraine had no intention of correcting their behavior.
Who is making this money for? Is it a profit? If the common people make money, they won’t do it with all their heart.
To maintain the rule and implement policies by oneself, it depends on the military and political personnel of Naian. They should be given some benefits as appropriate, as long as they do not harm the interests of the grassroots people.
But Governor Lorraine would not sympathize with someone who went bankrupt playing stocks.
Those who misappropriated public funds to speculate in stocks were even more merciless and grabbed them and chopped off their heads with a knife.
Venture capital companies have specialized economic crime investigation departments to manage such matters and prevent people from engaging in insider trading or speculating on stocks.
After hearing from Lorraine that the railway group was going to be listed, of course these officials who had tasted the benefits couldn't sit still.
Like primary school students looking forward to the end of get out of class, they squirmed uneasily in their seats. They looked eagerly at Angus, the butler, hoping that he would say a word to Lorraine and get some benefits.
All the officials here know how huge the railway group is.
It was an unprecedented super giant enterprise with assets of over 100 million.
Just a little leakage from the cracks of your fingers is enough to create a few Jack millionaires and Tom millionaires.
They are also aware of the glorious and bright future of the railway group. The railway from Naidel Port to the Eagle Shipyard has proven the superiority of railways and trains.
Railway tracks are a one-time investment that will benefit you for life. As long as the train is running, gold coins will continue to flow into your pocket. According to the huge passenger flow and freight demand in the mainland, the railway will only become more and more profitable.
Angus turned a blind eye to their eager eyes and nodded to Lorraine: "This is indeed a good idea, sir. It can relieve our financial pressure."
Lorraine looked at Leo, nodded in approval, and said, "Then let's go public."
Leo nodded solemnly and said, "Leave it to me, boss."
Then Lorraine announced that the meeting was adjourned, and Leo dragged Lorraine and hurried out of the conference room to discuss the railway group's listing plan.
This matter involves the shareholders of the railway group and must be considered in the long term.
Angus and the others respectfully watched Lorraine leave. Looking back, General Larry couldn't help complaining: "I said, Lao An, why don't you tell the boss? It's so boring."
Others were like Jiukuang's resentful women, as if Angus had snatched away their men.
Angus shook his head slowly, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Do you think the boss doesn't know about the little tricks below?"
After hearing his words, the others looked at each other in surprise and their hearts tightened.
As a political officer, directly responsible for specific affairs, Angus knew more than others.
Among other things, those intelligence documents that Catherine handed him with the keywords crossed out made Angus shudder.
It contained things that happened under the table, but she knew everything about them.
Angus knew there was a pair of eyes watching them from the dark.
"The boss sees it all, but he just doesn't want to talk about you." Angus sighed and said, "Forget about other companies, you just make a little money, it doesn't hurt.
The railway group is a business owned by the boss, do you want to get involved in order to save your own life?"
Everyone's hearts trembled at the same time, thinking of Governor Lorraine's thunderbolt methods.
The listing of the railway company is related to the future plans of Naian Province and the great cause of Governor Lorraine and Young Master Leo to dominate the world. There is no room for any mistakes.
This game is really not something they can afford to participate in.
Angus put the documents on the table, looked up at his colleagues around him, and warned them in a stern tone: "Be more honest lately... Amu looked at the majestic Caribbean City built against the mountains, revealing
With an excited expression, he would soon be able to walk openly into that world-famous city with a history of a thousand years and become one of its residents.
His elderly mother had just asked for a job as a merchant seaman from a big shipowner in the city. Although the salary was meager, as long as he was willing to study hard, he might be able to become a boatswain in ten or fifteen years.
, a rigmaster, or a first mate.
After twenty years, he became a captain, put on a spotless white uniform, received a generous annuity, and said goodbye to his identity as a farmer.
Amu's experience made the young people in the village envious.
Even if Amu will spend his whole life on a sea ship, fighting against wind, waves, pirates, and storms, he may die unexpectedly at some point, leaving no trace of his body.
This is a wealthy and civilized Caribbean port, where life is affluent and comfortable. But who among young people is not willing to venture outside and see the vast world outside?
I heard that there are unknown pirates on the sea, there are all kinds of strange creatures, and the inhabitants are savages with strange customs. There are powerful monsters in the sea who like to make trouble.
There is a beautiful siren who charms passing sailors with her songs.
There is also a treasure buried by the Pirate King. If you find it, you will immediately become rich and powerful.
As Caribbean people who grew up by the sea, they have a different vision and mind than others.
To use a fashionable saying that has just become popular in the past two years, this is called a man's mind as big as the ocean.
Amu held out his chest, opened his arms as if to embrace the sea, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the waves.
The Caribbean people look down on the old-fashioned Akadelians, thinking that they are just a bunch of unsophisticated bumpkins from the countryside.
As a busy trading port, Caribbean people have a very broad horizon.
Pirates of the Caribbean were active here. The architecture and culture of the human occupation period remain. Various ideas converged here, forming a unique Caribbean people.
Many Caribbean people still maintain some customs similar to humans. These were all brought through the ocean.
They are open-minded, broad-minded, and have a broad vision. They not only see spiritual flashes and thunder flashes, but they even see the human continent. Things that are spread from humans every year can always cause a sensation.
This creates the free-spirited spirit of Caribbean people.
They don't like the undead and the demons, which can be seen from the fact that there are no dark mages in Caribbean City. Of course, the undead don't like the Caribbean either.
A light gray dark cloud floated on the horizon, and with the sea breeze full of sea smell, it drifted towards the Caribbean port.
"It might rain." Ammu muttered to himself, muttering dissatisfiedly: "This is really not a good sign."
Amu turned around and was about to jump off the boulder when he suddenly saw a large group of knights in the distance, galloping towards the seaside village where Amu lived, their horses' hooves kicking up dust all over the sky.
"Who is that person?" Amu said to himself in confusion.
Then he jumped down from the stone and ran back to the village quickly.
The villagers also noticed the approaching cavalry team and heard the rumble of horse hooves. They walked out of their homes and looked to the south in surprise.
It was a team of hundreds of knights, all dressed in black and wearing black armor. The knight at the head was carrying a large flag, and the military emblem was flying in the air.
The knights rushed into the village quickly. An officer with a shameful tassel on his hat waved his hand. The knights dispersed and surrounded the entire village. Then they showed their weapons and stood guard at the intersection.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The villagers quickly drove the children home and closed the doors of their homes.
The officer held the reins and the war horse walked slowly into the village. His cold eyes stared at the cowering villagers on both sides of the road with a disdainful expression.
In the middle of the village, the officer jumped off his horse and shouted loudly without looking at the surrounding villagers: "Where is the village chief?"
"Here we come, here we come." The old village chief, wearing a pair of straw sandals, raised his hand and trotted over in greeting. When he came, he knelt down and said with a flattering smile: "Master knight, I don't know why you come to this small place of ours.
"
The officer tapped the dirt on his boots with his riding crop and cursed in a low voice: "What a hell!"
Then he took out a scroll from his arms, pulled it away, waved it in front of the village chief, and said loudly: "In response to the order of the Prime Minister, this captain has come to recruit troops."
"Conscription?" The village chief said in surprise: "Master Knight, didn't you just go through the conscription?"
The officer glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "Why are you wasting so much time talking? The Prime Minister said that we must recruit soldiers, and we must recruit soldiers. Is this what the high priest means? Do you even want to object to the high priest?"
The villagers waved their hands repeatedly and said anxiously: "No, I..."
The officer raised his hand to interrupt him and said impatiently: "Call all the men in your village."
The village chief looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "This..."
The officer pulled out the knife with a cry, clamped it on the village chief's neck, and said with a grin: "Do you want to disobey me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." The village chief said, trembling with fear.
Legion put his foot on the village chief's stomach and cursed: "Get out!"
He lifted the village chief a few steps away with one kick. The old village chief climbed up with dirt all over his body.
The officer looked at his embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't hit my grandpa~!" A bald child next to him yelled angrily at the officer with his childlike innocence.
The old village chief's expression changed, he quickly covered the child's mouth and ran away quickly.
The officer's face was dull and he snorted heavily.
Soon, all the men in the small village were gathered at the intersection in the center of the village. Even if they wanted to escape, they had no choice but to give up after seeing the knights blocking the intersection.
Of course, these villagers are not willing to become soldiers. As soon as they hear about it, they will immediately fight against humans. They couldn't defeat humans a thousand years ago, but they can surely defeat them now?
If Lorraine and Leo came over from the human side, they would turn the Semitic tribe upside down, let alone have a population five times larger than their Semitic tribe.
Even if we can defeat him, how many people will have to die?
The officer nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Compatriots and fellow villagers, the time has come to be loyal to our country. We are about to destroy the hateful human beings and take back our homeland a thousand years ago.
The high priest needs more brave soldiers, and we Semites need more warriors. I am here today to lead you to join our great army of the Spirit."
The officer found himself roaring passionately several times, but no one seemed to appreciate it, and the villagers responded with silence.
"A bunch of pig heads." The officer cursed in a low voice, pulled out a piece of paper from his arms, and said: "The next person I called came out by name, Gary, Gaubouel..."
The officer called the roll call one after another, and those whose names were read were dejected and reluctantly walked out of the crowd.
"Amu, Alfie."
"I don't want to be a soldier~!" (To be continued)!~!
