A member of the Zhenmo Division stood beside Chu Qiguang and Yang Ling and introduced to them the people attending the shareholders' meeting.
The name of this household is Liu Fang. At this moment, he is pointing at a middle-aged man in the distance and saying: "This is Fei Yixian, the eldest son of Mr. Fei Ge."
"That is the great virtue of Dao Gangsi in Lingzhou, the real person Wang Xiwang."
"That is Prince Hui..."
Prince Hui was a fat man who weighed over two hundred kilograms and stood out among a group of warriors. He was talking and laughing with Wu Wei and Sun Bin.
With Baihu's introduction, Chu Qiguang connected the names and faces one by one.
Soon after, the conference was officially convened, and hundreds of delegates attended the meeting one by one.
Zhong Shan'e sat at the top of the table, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I don't need to say more about the situation of the two major chambers of commerce in Qingyang and Yunzhong."
"The stock price has plummeted, and gentry everywhere have suffered serious losses. In the past two days, the government offices at all levels in Lingzhou have almost been breached."
"If we continue to leave things alone, I'm afraid a turmoil will break out."
"The imperial court attaches great importance to this. I have specially invited you to gather together today to calm the chaos in the stock market and stabilize people's hearts."
"If you have anything to say, why not speak freely."
In fact, Zhong Shan'e is a member of Qianhu Zhenmo Division, and theoretically has no control over textile and stock matters.
But who said he was a Taoist martial god? After his death, he also represented the current emperor.
If he really wanted to intervene, there would be few things in Lingzhou that he couldn't interfere with.
One by one, family representatives began to speak, nothing more than crying about poverty and misfortune, describing their heavy losses and hardship in life.
Zhong Shan'e listened patiently, and suddenly someone stood up and said: "The stock price fell because some demons spread the blueprints of the hydraulic textile machine. This hydraulic textile machine is a unique tool of our Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."
"As long as the imperial court can prohibit other businesses from spreading blueprints and manufacturing hydraulic spinning machines, the stock price will naturally rise instead of falling."
Representatives of each family stood up and began to echo, hoping that the imperial court would order a ban on other chambers of commerce from spreading and manufacturing hydraulic looms.
These are all shareholders of Wu Wei's chain. Their purpose is not to truly ban hydraulic textile machines, but they just need such a slogan.
With this slogan, when they secretly buy high and sell high to each other, they will have the opportunity to raise the stock price, and then find a taker to exit safely.
Hearing their strong appeal, Zhong Shan'e looked into the distance: "Yang Ling, Chu Qiguang, what do you think?"
Yang Ling got up and introduced himself and Chu Qiguang.
Everyone's eyes changed slightly when they heard that Yang Ling was actually sent by the emperor to investigate the Lingzhou stock market.
There is no way, Emperor Yong'an's reputation of squeezing out immortal cultivation materials is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
One year, he even misappropriated disaster relief money to buy elixirs.
Seeing Yang Ling now... many shareholder representatives began to worry that the emperor was coming to get a piece of the pie.
As for Chu Qiguang, although he is somewhat notorious among the Tianyu School, and some people know that he was the one who created the original Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, no one cares about him at this juncture.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Qiguang stood up and said: "I'm afraid the method these people said is not appropriate."
Ever since Chu Qiguang appeared on the stage, Sun Bin had been frowning, and now his face darkened even more after hearing this.
Wu Wei on the side was even more angry. After all, Chu Qiguang's opposition... seemed to him to be blocking his financial path.
Moreover, he blocked a financial path involving hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In particular, Chu Qiguang was supposed to be on their side, which made Wu Wei even more angry.
He stood up and said: "Chu Qiguang! If we don't prohibit those unscrupulous people outside from abusing hydraulic textile machines, how can we guarantee the stock price?"
Prince Hui, who weighed more than 200 kilograms, also said: "Chu Qiguang, I'm afraid you have been away from the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce for too long, and you no longer know how involved the stock market is today. All the shareholders here today have already lost millions.
Two pieces of silver."
Sun Bin said sternly: "What Prince Hui said is exactly what he said. If we don't ban the random spread of hydraulic looms among the people, I am afraid that all the people in Lingzhou will lose their money in the future. Can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Chu Qiguang said: "Isn't it because the blueprints of the hydraulic textile machine were spread because monsters were mixed into the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's workshop and were stolen by them?"
Sun Bin snorted: "Now is not the time to talk about this. The top priority is to save the market. If you can't think of a way, please retreat quickly and don't disrupt the conference."
Prince Hui waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, Chu Qiguang, please step back. What's the use of holding people accountable now."
Chu Qiguang smiled slightly: "Dear shareholders, the reason why the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's stock price soared was because of the hydraulic spinning machine."
"Now that the hydro-loom has been leaked, the stock price is starting to fall again."
"But if there are better machines, the stock price will naturally rise again, and the leakage of the hydraulic textile machine will not matter."
Hearing Chu Qiguang's words, everyone present was slightly surprised.
Then when Chu Qiguang took everyone to the workshop where the mule machine was installed, all the shareholder representatives showed different expressions of surprise, suspicion, excitement, etc.
As the mule machine was running, Chu Qiguang slowly introduced:
"This device is called a mule machine."
"I led the craftsmen to improve the original water-powered spinning machine..."
"This machine combines the yarn-drawing drum wood and the main sliding table of the yarn-making spindle..."
"The number of spindles has increased from 400 to more than 900..."
"The yarn that comes out is not only denser and stronger, but the efficiency is also increased several times..."
Following Chu Qiguang's introduction, the eyes of all the shareholders present lit up.
They are all people who have already experienced the benefits of new equipment. Now, facing the mule machine that has once again increased productivity, how can they not understand the benefits?
Fei Yixian, the eldest son of the former chief minister Fei Yi, couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chu, I'm offering you 10,000 taels for this mule machine. You can sell it to me."
Wang Xiwang, the Dade Master of the Dao Gang Department in Lingzhou, sneered and said: "You just bought this new appliance for ten thousand taels? Do you think everyone is a fool?"
As the two spoke, the scene instantly became noisy, with shareholders wanting to buy the mule machine.
Wu Wei and Sun Bin looked at each other in confusion, neither of them expected that Chu Qiguang had such a skill.
Facing the shouts of everyone, Chu Qiguang waved his hands and finally made everyone quiet down, and then said: "To be honest, I originally wanted to sell this mule machine to Mr. Wu Wei."
"It's a pity that Mr. Wu didn't want to see me the last time I came to visit him."
Hearing this, many shareholders of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce looked at Wu Wei angrily.
Even Prince Hui couldn't help but glare at him.
Wu Wei looked confused and couldn't remember when Chu Qiguang wanted to sell his mule machine.
Sun Bin's face turned pale and he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Chu Qiguang continued: "But then I met Yang Ling and Yang Baihu, and he persuaded me to open my own chamber of commerce directly, with the Emperor and the Zhenmo Division as shareholders."
Hearing this, everyone present felt their hearts sink.
If Chu Qiguang, Zhenmo Si and Yong'an Emperor all rely on mule machines to open a chamber of commerce, their stocks will be even less valuable.
But Chu Qiguang changed his subject and said: "But making money is a small matter, and national affairs are more important. Now that the Lingzhou stock market is in turmoil, I am willing to take over for the country."
"This general meeting of shareholders wants the chamber of commerce under my name to acquire the Yunzhong and Qingyang families..."
