Chapter 147 Terminally ill teenager, take the lead in getting rich
After Chu Qiguang endured the torture of his illness and hosted this road show, the stock price of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce rose rapidly like a rocket. A large number of cotton merchants from other places came to Qingyang County to inspect the hydraulic textile machines and then watched the road show.
, and then began to acquire shares.
There are even signs of people raising funds to buy stocks, with several families pooling their money together just to buy one share.
Looking at the rising stock prices, people in Qingyang County seemed to be going crazy. Everyone dreamed of getting rich overnight and making money while lying down.
The stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce later broke through 30 taels, 40 taels and finally stopped at 46 taels.
Then Chu Qiguang announced a stock split in order to give back to the market and the support of his hometown elders. The original shares were changed from 1 to 100 shares, and the stock price changed from 46 taels per share to 4 yuan and 6 cents per share.
The total market value of the shares has not changed, but the purchase price of each share has been greatly reduced.
On the day of the stock split, the entire Qingyang County went crazy. Even the ordinary people who were just onlookers were eligible to join in. In the entire county, everyone from wealthy families to traffickers and lackeys... almost everyone in the county had to go out.
Word shares.
After that, Chu Qiguang took Wu Wei, Chen Zhu, Chen Gang, Wang Cailiang and several craftsmen to Beiyue Fucheng with new machinery, and held a road show for three days in a row despite being tortured by illness.
On the third day of the road show, Chu Qiguang entered the fifth realm of Taoism.
And the entire Beiyue Mansion seemed to be on fire because of the storm brought by Chu Qiguang.
…
Yong'an 16 years, early January.
Qingyang County Magistrate He Wenyan led a team of officers to West Street, the busiest street in the county, and saw a sea of people gathering on the street, all staring in the direction of a two-story building.
There used to be a bank shop in the county seat of Qingyang County. It was bought by the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce a few days ago and specializes in share trading.
There was a huge sign hanging outside the door of the exchange, with 9 cents and 9 cents written in red letters on it.
But at this moment, the sign was being replaced, and the new one had the words 1 tael written on it.
Seeing this word, all the onlookers present cheered.
However, with a wave of his hand, He Wenyan directly sent his officers up, pushed through the crowd, and surrounded the exchange.
Wang Cailiang came out of the exchange, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The county magistrate actually brought people here in person. It's really a big thank you."
The county magistrate He Wenyan said: "I am the parent official of Qingyang County. If someone is causing trouble in the busy city, I will naturally take care of it."
Wang Cailiang immediately ordered the waiters behind him to pull out a few big men: "It's just a few of them who made fake bills, tried to pass off shares, and made trouble in front of the store. But they didn't know that every one of our shares was registered. Are they right?
I checked my identity and was immediately found out.”
With a wave of his hand, He Wenyan ordered the troublemakers to be taken away and tortured. The remaining officers stayed at the scene to help maintain order in the trading center.
Wang Cailiang welcomed He Wenyan in. Now all Chu Qiguang's shares have been transferred to Wang Cailiang's name, and all the new exchanges here have been handed over to Wang Cailiang and the accountants sent by the Wu family, the Hao family, and the Taoist temple.
Managed together? There are hundreds of people at the front and back, so they can barely handle the daily share transactions.
He Wenyan followed Wang Cailiang and walked in. On the way, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Everyone in Qingyang County talks about stocks now? Are the people not engaged in production? Do they think about buying shares all day long and getting rich overnight? It's really a declining world and people's hearts are not in a good mood."
antiquity."
"Look? Now these unscrupulous people are doing some evil things all day long? They have all been brought to your shop."
Wang Cailiang smiled, recalling what Chu Qiguang once said to him, and tried to explain: "With so much money gathered here, it is normal for someone to have wrong ideas."
"But it is by gathering money that we can do big things? Now Qingyang County is using the whole county's efforts to make textiles? In the future, there will be textile factories. Not only will workers be needed in the factories to do repairs, transportation, rinsing, cutting hemp, picking hemp, handymen, etc.
work."
"There will also be a lot of supporting work outside the factory, such as dock handling, long-distance transportation, printing and dyeing, tailoring, embroidery, canteens, accessories, cotton..."
"Nowadays, land annexation in Qingyang County is getting more and more serious. A large number of people in the villages have no land to farm. But if there are more factories in the future? At least they can go to the city to work and not become refugees."
After listening to what Wang Cailiang said? He Wenyan secretly shook his head: "Then the shares shouldn't be sold to these ordinary people. They should only be sold to people with a good reputation? Otherwise, these unscrupulous people just want to buy stocks and make a fortune. I think they
I don’t even try my best to farm and raise chickens..."
In He Wenyan's opinion, farmers should farm hard instead of going to cities to work. This will only increase his workload and risks.
but……
Wang Cailiang whispered: "Brother Chu specially told me? I know that the county has always cared about the people of Qingyang, and also wanted to contribute to the county's textile industry. So I specially asked me to leave 1,000 shares for you, the county."
He Wenyan nodded when he heard this: "The imperial court has always asked the people in the north to grow more cotton, just to boost the cotton textile industry in the north. Now that Qingyang County's textile industry is booming, I, as the parent official of Qingyang County, naturally have to give my full support.
"
"I will keep all the officers outside here. If anyone makes trouble again, just let them know directly."
…
"How high has it gone?"
"It's 1 tael, Abbot, it's up to 1 tael."
Hearing this, Abbot Chenzhu smiled all over his face, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
During this period, his favorite thing to do every day was to send his Taoist to check the stock price. He often enjoyed it and asked more than ten times a day.
Taoist priest Fayuan said with emotion: "The original ten thousand taels has now become four hundred thousand taels. I have never seen it so easy to make money in my life. This Chu Qiguang has a great talent."
Chenzhu said: "It's not just money. Now the entire Qingyang County and a small half of Beiyue Prefecture are all tied to Chu Qiguang's two water-powered textile machines. Who dares to stop him from doing weaving now? Who can stop him from doing it?
Business?"
At this moment, his Taoist boy came up and reported: "Abbott, Mr. Chu is here."
Chenzhu waved to Tao Tong to bring people up, and at the same time said to Fayuan: "Two things happened this time. One is that Chu Qiguang wants to use some of his shares in exchange for Qibao Pills. I have already agreed and have been contacted in the past few days.
Other Taoist temples in Beiyue Mansion have joined together."
"Another thing is that Chu Qiguang seems to be going away. He said that during this period, there are always some sneaky people outside the textile workshop. You take a team of people to guard there day and night, and no one is allowed to leave.
The thief got in."
Fayuan said in shock: "Isn't this... not good? What about the morning and evening classes every day in Guanli?"
Chenzhu said: "Morning classes and evening classes are more important, or is our workshop more important? You have to do your best to guard it and never let others ruin things. As for morning and evening classes, I agree that you don't have to do them during this period. You can
I have remembered that this Taoist priest is in your hearts, not in the morning and evening classes."
