Masters and disciples Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are naturally smart people if they can create "Tui Bei Diagram".
They had already vaguely noticed that Li Yunze had evil intentions. After all, showing courtesy for nothing was either a traitor or a thief.
Therefore, in the past, the master's secret knowledge, precious classics, and "Goose Changing Tie" were all well hidden, without any flaws being revealed.
But when Li Er's will came over, the master and apprentice could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
They were so careful in guarding against Li Yunze, but in the end they brought in foreign aid. With just one slap, anything about his superior intelligence became a joke.
Li Er made it clear that if you send the "Goose Exchange Note" to Li Yunze, they will not treat you badly.
"master."
Young Li Chunfeng looked at the thick stack of beautifully printed so-called stocks in his hand with some confusion, "What does this thing mean?"
In the autumn of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the most lively thing inside and outside Chang'an City, apart from the emperor's eldest princess discussing marriage, was the stock matter.
The source of this incident is Li Jueye, the richest man in the world, Li Yunze, who was banished to immortality in the Tang Dynasty and is commonly known as the God of Wealth.
The story of Li Caishen is too long, so there is no need to go into detail.
As long as the people inside and outside Chang'an City know that the most profitable trading companies in the world are assets under their name.
No one thought that Li Caishen would take out these trading companies that were making huge profits and be willing to sell them!
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and sighed, feeling sympathy for Li Yunze. "Li Caishen, he is in trouble too."
Li Chunfeng was very surprised when he said this. Li Yunze took the "Goose Swap Ticket" by force, and the master actually spoke for him. Could it be that he was so angry?
"Your Majesty's insistence on renting servants is based on the land."
Yuan Tiangang explained unhurriedly, "But Li Caishen vigorously promoted business, and it developed so rapidly. This is contrary to the national policy of this dynasty."
Li Chunfeng, with a look of astonishment on his face, immediately nodded, "I see, not to mention Your Majesty, there must be many opponents in the court. Li Caishen is already as rich as the enemy, and he will definitely arouse the envy of everyone."
"good."
Yuan Tiangang sighed again, "Logically speaking, if a person like Li Caishen reaches this level, he should find a reason to be imprisoned first, and then be disposed of slowly."
"But Li Caishen is a strange man with great abilities." Li Chunfeng continued, "If you act rashly, it will inevitably cause serious consequences."
"exactly."
Yuan Tiangang clapped his hands hard, "So your Majesty will marry your daughter first, and then force her to hand over her property. In this way, it will be good for you, me, and everyone."
Li Chunfeng also figured out, "The "Goose Exchange Note" can be regarded as one of the compensations given by His Majesty to Li Caishen."
"That's right." Yuan Tiangang nodded with satisfaction. "Although His Majesty has taken action, he still has to use Li Caishen. After all, this person really has the magic of ghosts and gods with hands and eyes that can reach the sky."
Speaking of this, both the master and the disciple remembered the experience of riding the railway before. The rumbling machine beast really shocked them.
"With such a large amount of property, it is natural that His Majesty cannot take it all by himself." Li Chunfeng used his imagination. "If that were the case, not only would the world look at him with suspicion, but the history books would definitely not look good."
"exactly."
Yuan Tiangang took the stock and played with it in his hands, "So Your Majesty made such a move and sold half of these properties to the people of the world. Everyone has benefited, so naturally it is not good to say bad things about Your Majesty."
The master and the apprentice thought they had figured out the situation. After some discussion, they not only accepted the stocks exchanged for the "Goose Exchange Post", but also decided to use their savings to buy more.
On the first day of September in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the stock exchange of Nuoda was officially opened in Guangzhaifang outside the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace.
Nobles from Guanzhong, aristocratic families from Guandong, wealthy families from Hebei, local tycoons from Jiangnan, and more than a thousand envoys from foreign countries gathered here, nervous and looking forward to new opportunities to make money.
Today is a big day for the first stock sale and trading, and this stock is the famous Changsheng Railway.
After several years of operation, the Changsheng Railway has long been known to the world, and its profitability is naturally no secret.
At six o'clock in the morning, under the gaze of everyone, Li Er arrived here, and everyone shouted long live.
Li Er sat down on the high platform and looked at the many large blackboards in front of him and the people in slightly weird clothes. He turned his head and asked Du Ruhui beside him, "Are these the arithmetic people recruited in the past few months?"
"yes."
Du Ruhui responded with a smile, "They were all trained by Master Li himself. I don't know exactly how to do things."
Li Er didn't pay much attention, sitting quietly on the chair and waiting.
Time passed so quickly, and it was approaching eight o'clock in the morning, which was at 6 o'clock in the morning, when Li Yunze finally came out of the inner hall with Wu Meiniang.
Looking at Wu Meiniang, who already looked stunning, Li Er looked away unnaturally.
The important ministers around him naturally pretended not to see it.
It stands to reason that the emperor's eldest daughter will be married off, so her husband's family must be very low-key at this time, especially the women around them should be cleaned up.
After all, she is a princess.
It's just that Li Yunze's status is different, and no one will use tradition to talk about him.
Li Yunze didn't waste any time when he came over. He looked at the time and said directly, "Your Majesty, it's almost time. Let's get started."
"Um."
Li Er nodded, stood up, walked to the front of the high platform, and said some formulaic words in front of thousands of eyes.
At the end of the sentence, he waved his hand and said, "Open the market!"
"Today's listing price of Changsheng Railway is three thousand dollars per share! There are 50,000 shares available. Anyone who is interested should buy them as soon as possible~~~"
Immediately, staff members hung a blackboard in a conspicuous place with the words Changsheng Railway and Stock Price Three Guarantees.
Then there was silence, and everyone looked at each other with strange expressions. After all, no one knew what to do about this matter.
Fortunately, Li Yunze had already prepared, and the shills he had secretly prepared began to appear.
It's not quite right to call him a shill, after all, this person really wants to invest.
No surprise, Cheng Yaojin strode out, his loud voice echoing in this specially prepared lobby: "I, Cheng Yaojin, want to buy 10,000 shares!"
The total share capital of Changsheng Railway is one million shares. One share of three shares is worth three million shares.
Of course, Li Yunze would not stupidly sell everything in one go. After all, in the modern world, he paid for special training and could not lose the face of the big guys in the stock market.
Immediately, a staff member came forward to receive him. He received a 30,000-guan banknote from the butler Cheng Yaojin and gave him a receipt for 10,000 shares. Then he took the butler to pay the deed tax.
Li Yunze also took this opportunity and began to vigorously promote the currency reform of Datang and the promotion of banks.
The most important point among them was to use gold and silver collected from Japan, Luzon and other places and store them in the bank next to the exchange, thus issuing silver notes.
This super convenient currency is very popular among merchants.
Immediately after Cheng Yaojin, more understudies appeared.
Several well-known distinguished families in Chang'an City took action one after another and wiped out all 50,000 shares of stock.
Immediately afterwards, the previous blackboard was taken down, and the numbers on it were rewritten and hung up again: "Fifty thousand shares of Changsheng Railway's capital stock, priced at three thousand and one hundred cents per share~~~"
"What? In just the blink of an eye, you made two hundred cents per share?!"
Hearing the explanation from the butler beside him, Cheng Yaojin's originally rough voice even became a little sharp, "You mean, I made a thousand guan in just a short time?!"
His voice was loud, and the lobby was specially designed for amplification. Almost everyone could hear his voice clearly.
After a short period of silence, the loud noise quickly became louder, and everyone spoke in disbelief about this strange news.
Before everyone could recover, Li Yunze looked over and another group of shills appeared.
They waved the large banknotes in their hands and shouted, "I want to buy as much as I want~~~"
The second batch of 50,000 shares was quickly divided up.
The blackboard was then taken down, wiped and re-hung.
Not only did one hundred thousand shares come out this time, the price soared to three times two hundred cents.
Cheng Yaojin didn't need to shout, everyone knew what it meant.
Under Li Yunze's glance, the shills appeared again, shouting and sweeping away the stocks.
Li Er over there moved his body unnaturally, walked to Li Yunze and lowered his voice, "Why haven't those guys taken action?"
"There's no rush."
Li Yunze's smile became even brighter, "Money and silk are so attractive to people, they won't be able to bear it for long."
Sure enough, when another batch of 100,000 shares was released and the stock price soared to three hundred cents, the powerful locals from the family could not bear it any longer and rushed forward one after another, shouting to buy.
"Don't worry, don't be crowded!"
The staff who were sweating profusely shouted to maintain order, "Everyone line up, first come, first served~~~"
After finally getting the crowd to calm down a little, they started to line up gradually.
There were even two friends who humbly acted like "you first, you first" to each other.
But as the blackboard was taken down, and then the price was changed to three hundred and fifty cents per share, the so-called order disappeared in an instant.
Just by riding a horse for a while, you can get an extra fifty cents per share. Buying twenty shares is equivalent to spending a lot of money?!
This is so humiliating, people are crowded like crazy, and the noise is deafening.
Li Er, who was on the high platform, stared at the madness below in stunned silence.
Although Li Yunze had explained it to him in detail, the scene in front of him really overturned his previous understanding.
Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars were sent here as if they were waste paper. This was something that was unthinkable in the past.
And as prices continue to rise, everyone is screaming and roaring like crazy, without the slightest bit of gentlemanliness at all.
In less than an hour, 500,000 shares of Changsheng Railway were sold out, and the price even reached an astonishing three hundred and six hundred cents!
After learning that there were no stocks to buy, the entire lobby felt like a boiling cauldron about to explode.
"Hahahahaha~~~"
Among the noise, Cheng Yaojin's laughter was so eye-catching.
Looking over, he saw the proud Cheng Yaojin, shouting to the head of the Taiyuan Wang family in front of him, "If you want to buy the stock in my hand, you can pay Sanguan 700 yuan for one share!"
The head of the Wang family was so angry that his beard was fluttering, and he pointed at Cheng Yaojin with a trembling hand, "The official price is only three thousand six hundred cents, you are taking advantage of it!"
Cheng Yaojin's nostrils turned upward, "It was you who begged me to buy it."
As soon as he finished speaking, his butler tugged on his sleeves and turned to look at the blackboard, only to see that the new price had already become three hundred and fifty cents!
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin immediately turned his head and looked back, "I've changed my mind. I'll pay you three times for eight hundred coins. Do you want me to love you?"
