The businessmen attending the meeting were confused.
Sun Tinglan's eyes suddenly lit up.
This new word gave him an indescribable expectation.
Ma Mingluan continued: "Let's talk about tradable shares first. You must be curious about what tradable shares are? As the name suggests, tradable shares are shares that can be freely bought and sold."
Pointing at Sun Tinglan, he continued: "For example, Sun Weng bought 10,000 shares of the Steam Engine Factory at this IPO. If he urgently needs money tomorrow, he can place an order to sell these 10,000 shares on the Royal Exchange.
If someone is optimistic about the prospects of the steam engine factory and believes that the value of these 10,000 shares will increase and spends money to buy it from Sun Weng, then the sale will be completed."
Wang Tao said: "Isn't this the same thing as bond trading?"
"Wang Gong is right, it's the same thing." Ma Mingluo said, "But bonds are only issued once a year or even not at all. There are only a few types. There are too few and there is little room for choice. But in the future, there will be a steam engine factory
, arsenals and other factories’ stocks, the trading varieties can be greatly enriched, and the securities stock industry can truly prosper.”
A businessman asked excitedly: "Can the shares of arsenals and other factories also be traded in the two cities?"
Today, driven by the Ming Dynasty Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, most of the small family workshops in Jiangnan have gone bankrupt, and the only survivors are large joint-stock workshops or factories.
For example, the winery of the Zheng family, and the silk factory of the Shi family in Xinchang.
By the way, I would like to add that Industrial and Commercial Bank has shares in almost every large workshop or factory, ranging from 50% to 30%. Its tentacles have penetrated into every corner. This is actually the so-called Temasek model, which controls the entire industry.
To ensure the country’s influence on its industry and capital market.
However, state capital is not allowed to interfere too much in specific operations.
This can not only ensure the vitality of the enterprise and obtain profits, but also avoid many shortcomings of state-owned enterprises.
Some people may ask, if the actual operators of the company only hold a minority of shares, who can guarantee that they will do their best to operate it? What if they open a small factory themselves and then hand over the business of the big factory to the small factory?
For example, in the steam engine factory, the Yangzhou Weng family only holds half of the shares, and the dividends can only be divided into half proportionately.
So who can guarantee that the Weng family will not open another steam engine factory, and then indirectly or directly hand over the orders from the Daming Steam Engine Factory to the Weng family steam engine factory, so that the Weng family can get 100% of the dividend?
As long as they are not stupid, everyone will choose to take the 10% bonus, right?
Businessmen are not stupid, and neither is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has a supervision mechanism.
Someone else said, "Then I won't play with you. Can I do it alone?"
The answer is probably not. Going against a giant that controls almost all industries will have serious consequences. You will be faced with the desperate situation of not being able to rent factories, recruit workers, buy raw materials, or find customers.
A simple greeting from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can make a businessman have nowhere to go.
Therefore, for businessmen like the Weng family, it is only proper to do their best to run the workshop well and take half or a few percent of the dividends steadily, and don't think about taking the dividends all to themselves.
Getting back to the topic, Ma Mingluan said: "Arsenals, wineries and other factories will also be listed one after another, but currently, only Daming Steam Engine Factory is listed, so what you bought today is the original stock."
As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a thousand merchants present started a heated discussion.
Ma Mingluan felt a little thirsty as he spoke, so he sat down and drank tea in peace.
There must be some time left for businessmen to discuss and deliberate.
After all, the amount to be raised this time is more than 60 million.
This is not a small amount.
…
As the initiator of this stock transaction,
Chongzhen was in Yi Lun Hall, and it was still broad daylight.
After it was over, Ran Sanniang said to Chongzhen with some expectation and some worry: "Long live the Lord, my concubine's monthly letter has been postponed for more than ten days. I don't know what happened."
"Really?" Chongzhen's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
There are generally only two possibilities for delayed menstruation.
Either there is something wrong with the body or she is pregnant.
At that moment, Chongzhen held Ran Sanniang and sat on his lap.
Look up and down, left and right, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.
Ran Sanniang was born in Enshi Prefecture and grew up in the mountains since she was a child. Her health was not very good. After following Chongzhen to Nanjing, she only became plumper. How could she get sick?
At that time, Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian to go to the medical school to invite Fu Shan.
Fu Shan had just returned to the medical school. When he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he hurried over with his medicine box on his back.
Fu Shan was truly a master of gynecology. As soon as he took the pulse, he diagnosed it as a happy pulse. He immediately stood up and congratulated Chongzhen and Ran Sanniang: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Ran is pregnant."
"Seriously?" Chongzhen was also overjoyed when he heard this.
Although he inherited the emotions of the original Chongzhen, including the relationship between father and son, so he treated Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cijiong as his own children, they were not his biological children after all.
It would be great to have a biological child, even a girl.
Thinking that in a short while, there will be a little girl with pink makeup and jade in front of his knees, Chongzhen couldn't help but reveal a silly smile like an old father on his face, it was great.
Ran Sanniang was even more overjoyed.
After becoming pregnant with the dragon seed, her status was truly stable.
Even if he is not a prince, even if he is just a princess, he can sit back and relax from now on.
Fu Shan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if it comes to other affairs, I would not dare to speak nonsense, but if it is a matter of gynecology and pediatrics, I will not lose to anyone. There is no doubt that Concubine Ran belongs to the happy vein."
"Okay, great." Chongzhen Longyan said happily, "Gao Banban, please pass on the message that all the students in the Imperial College will have extra meals tonight. All teachers and students will have a chicken drumstick and a half-liter can of Mingjiu."
Fu Shan immediately thanked him: "On behalf of all the teachers and students of the Imperial College, I would like to thank you for your holy grace."
"You're welcome." Chongzhen smiled and said to Fu Shan, "Go and do your work."
After hearing this, Fu Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Fu Qing, you really know how to choose your time." Chongzhen pointed at Fu Shan with a smile and said, "Go ahead."
Fu Shan did not explain too much and said: "This time I took a group of medical school students out for training. I went to the state schools and county schools in various states and counties and found out that I had newly learned things such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
The professors of other subjects do a good job, but the professors of medicine do a very bad job.”
Chongzhen asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Fu Shandao: "Because the Imperial College Examination does not take medicine."
Well, this is the Ming Dynasty version of exam-oriented education.
Because the National College Examination requires subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, teachers in various prefectures, counties, and counties can teach hard, and students can also learn very hard. However, medical scores are not included in the total score and cannot be used to teach.
Because of the honorary bonus, the teachers’ enthusiasm for teaching is not high, and the students’ enthusiasm for learning is also not high.
Chongzhen nodded and said, "So what do you mean?"
“Set medical science as one of the examination subjects in the National Examination.”
Fu Shandao: "In this way, the scholars admitted will have a certain medical foundation. After entering the medical school, they can learn pharmacology and prescriptions to get twice the result with half the effort."
Chongzhen decided to step aside and say: "You should discuss this matter with the prince. After all, the prince is the principal of the Imperial College, and he is responsible for the entrance examination and teaching work of the Imperial College."
"In this case, Your Majesty will not object."
Fu Shan was also quick-witted and settled the matter first.
Watching Fu Shan leave, Chongzhen shook his head and ordered Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, from now on you should stay in the palace and take care of Concubine Ran until the prince or princess is safely born."
"Old slave, take the order." Wang Chengen received the order and stood behind Ran Sanniang.
Ran Sanniang took the opportunity to act coquettishly: "Long live my Lord, can I not live in the palace? How about living in the Qingliang Mountain Palace?"
The Qingliang Mountain side is noisy, and it is said to be a palace, but it is actually just a small courtyard. But it is more lively and crowded, because it houses the families of officials of the Gewu Department, with more women and children. It has a more lively atmosphere than the Forbidden City. Ran Sanniang would rather live in a simple place.
Qingliangshan Palace is not willing to live in the Forbidden City.
"Yes." Chongzhen nodded happily, "Wang Daban, escort Concubine Ran to Qingliang Mountain."
"How can anyone be so delicate?" Ran Sanniang obviously wanted to stay with Chongzhen.
But how could Chongzhen have so much time, so he could only let Wang Chengen send Ran Sanniang away.
After sending Ran Sanniang away, Chongzhen met with several groups of students from the Imperial College, all of whom had performed outstandingly during this training march. There were hundreds of students in each of the three grades.
With the formalization of the Imperial College education, it is no longer possible for Chongzhen to get along with the scholars day and night as before, but it is necessary to spend some time to interact with the outstanding students of the Imperial College, because the students and scholars of the Imperial College are Chongzhen's
The basic base, whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the New Army, is inseparable from these students.
Therefore, Chongzhen must have sufficient contact with the outstanding student representatives of the Imperial College.
The last people Chongzhen met were the third-year students, who will graduate in another year.
After graduation, half of this batch of students will be assigned to the new army as guard commanders and junior officers such as general officers.
Chongzhen took a charcoal pen and scrawled on the white board and wrote the words "worry first about the world's worries and then enjoy the world's happiness", then pointed to this line and said: "Today, I want to discuss with you this story of Fan Wenzhenggong."
In short, if students have gained something, they can speak freely, and I can guarantee that they will not be punished for speaking."
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, a hundred students raised their hands in unison.
"This classmate." Chongzhen pointed at someone casually, "Say."
"Student Liang Sui kowtows to the Holy One." The student bowed first, then straightened up and said concisely, "Student thinks that what Fan Wenzhenggong said is that the world is the people, and scholar-bureaucrats should put the people first and ask for orders for the people."
Chongzhen asked again: "Then the people you are talking about are scholars or common people?"
Liang Sui said sternly: "Both the scholars and the common people are all Li people. I am talking about Li people."
