In the capital, the largest teahouse on Sanshan Street is still full of mourners. No one is willing to take over the Western Region Fund, because after the extreme exaggeration by the short side, everyone knows that this fund is completely worthless. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is garbage. At noon
The price that was still twenty cents at that time has now dropped to five cents, and still no one cares. Gradually, people began to leave, with pale faces, sighs, and unsteady walking. It looked like they would either jump into the river or hang from a beam when they returned.
At this time, a dozen big men suddenly walked in. The leader was a big man with big shoulders and a loud voice. Without saying anything, he took out a stack of banknotes and slammed them on the table. He shouted in a deep voice: "I specialize in collecting the Western Region Good News Fund. You can take as much as you want."
!”
With a whoop, everyone gathered around and rushed to push the fund notes in their hands to this side, "Buy mine, buy mine, give me the money and sell it." Looking at the waving hands, the man jumped up on the table and shouted
Said: "Don't panic, come one by one, I brought a lot of money, and they are all large bills. You first organize the fund yourself, and make up the whole amount to redeem the silver. What, what is the price today?"
?”
Someone replied: "Sir, the current price is five cents. If you are always kind, we are willing to sell it for four cents."
The man said: "No, I won't take advantage of these few pennies. I will buy them all at the price of twenty pennies per unit, as much as I want!"
Suddenly there was thunderous cheers, and everyone was moved to tears. They spontaneously formed an orderly queue and began to exchange. It would be great if the garbage-like funds in their hands could be converted into money. Who cares how much? When the news spread, people in the whole street
They all came running, and these dozen men seemed to have brought the bank with them. They threw out a lot of banknotes, and in exchange for bundles of funds, they casually threw them behind them.
The attentive person saw that these dozen big men were all wearing leather-soled official boots, and he started to care in his heart, and asked: "Which lord's house do these gentlemen belong to? Could it be that such a large-scale takeover is due to someone else?"
What news?"
The man said: "If you have a fund, just sell it. Why are you making any noise? Men just like to buy this thing. Do you care about it?"
Although they didn't say it, the people who were flipping stock funds on Sanshan Street still saw clues from the banknotes they used, because the large-denomination cashier's checks used by these people were all registered banknotes stamped "Zhenwuhou"
Zhang Zi of the Mansion. Suddenly a theory arose that Zhenwuhou might take over the command of the Western Army. There is hope for the war in the West!
With Marquis Zhenwu taking action, what did the people have to worry about? The custody was a success and the Western Region Fund was bound to be reborn and prosperous. Rumors quickly spread throughout Sanshan Street like a gust of wind, and the crazy selling action came to an abrupt end.
Everyone was reluctant to sell again. Of course, some people did not believe this rumor and still sold the fund, but the price was no longer so low. It rose from 20 cents to 50 cents, and then to 100 cents. Those men who bought the funds were disappointed.
He was so cheerful that he directly said that he could buy it for a hundred coins, or two hundred coins, whatever he had, he wanted as much as he wanted! This further stimulated those shrewd speculators, who had already concluded that this was someone sent by the Marquis of Zhenwu to raid.
The goods were in stock, and the Western Region Fund was about to regain its glory, so they also began to acquire it, and offered a higher price: five hundred cents!
Fund trading in Beijing is an act of paying one hand and delivering the goods. There is no post-delivery system, and there are no formal trading venues and trading hours. Therefore, this vigorous promotion operation continues until dusk and has no intention of ending. The fund has gone from the verge of
The level of death's five cents has increased to eight hundred cents, which is close to the par level.
In fact, the guards sent by Liu Ziguang didn't buy too many funds. They just bought hundreds of thousands of units at the beginning. Once the atmosphere was mobilized, they didn't have much to do. They just took turns to raise prices to buy, and they could be used as
The Ouchi guards are not simple-minded people with strong limbs. They understand the Marquis's intention very clearly, which is just to drive up the price, not really to buy goods and build a warehouse.
In Wuyi Lane, there was a telegram from Shanghai on the desk in front of Liu Ziguang. Peng Jingrong told him that there was an invisible big hand controlling the stock market, creating panic and suppressing high-quality stocks. This force was very powerful, and delivery was done after the market closed.
Shi actually took out three million taels of official votes for the transaction, which shows that the backstage is very important. There are only a handful of people in the country who have such strength. The most questionable one is Huang Xiaotian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue who embezzled public funds. He hopes that Liu Ziguang will use the power of Nanchang to carry out the transaction.
Investigation, this is a great opportunity to bring down Huang Xiaotian and regain control of the household department.
Although Liu Ziguang no longer holds any actual position, the power and energy in his hands are still astonishing. As long as he says a word, the huge and sophisticated spy organization of Nanchang will be put into operation. No secret in the capital can be hidden from him. Liu Ziguang
He picked up a strange-looking object on the table, shook the handle a few times, and then shouted to a bamboo tube: "Get Admiral Sun for me."
This is a wired telephone laid secretly. It is the most advanced thing in the Ming Dynasty. It has not yet been used by the public. It is only used in a small amount in the system of Zhenwuhou, Zhenwuhou Mansion, Wuyi Lane, Nanchang, and Red Shirt Army Barracks.
, there are lines and call terminals in the martial arts hall. When you need to contact, pick up the corresponding single-line phone, shake the handle to generate electricity, and then you can talk. Liu Ziguang uses the phone that is directly connected to the signing room of the South Factory, and can directly find Sun Gangsun.
Grand Admiral.
In the Palace of Qianqing in the Forbidden City, Zhu Youxiao was sitting behind the Dragon Bookcase, with Huang Xiaotian and Zhang Fulin kneeling straight in front of him. The emperor was furious, and the two calmly faced each other, saying they were wronged.
Zhu Youxiao said: "As officials of the Ministry of Accounts, it is your duty to supervise securities trading matters. However, the financial market of Ming Dynasty plummeted. If I hadn't accidentally learned about it today, I would have been deceived by you two mediocre people.
, how do you think this crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished?"
Huang Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, I am indeed unjust. The Western Region Good News Fund is already too high and is already in danger. If it continues to rise like this, it will cause harm to the Ming Dynasty's economy. Appropriate declines are normal fluctuations. Not only
There is no harm and it is conducive to social stability."
Zhang Fulin also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation, we have learned that in recent years, the country has been prosperous and the people's income has increased significantly. Take the capital as an example. Every family has savings of several thousand taels. That is
There are many households in Wanliang. They spent some money to buy the fund in the spirit of supporting the imperial court. Even if the price drops temporarily, they can bear some losses. When I came, I also visited some people, and they all expressed their opinions about the fund.
The setback had no impact on my life."
Zhu Youxiao said: "You are still lying to me. Thousands of people have lost their money after buying your fund. There are also many people who have committed suicide by hanging from a beam and jumping into a river. How do you explain this?"
Zhang Fulin said sternly: "Wei Chen once posted a notice warning the public that the stock market is risky and that investment should be cautious. However, there are always some people who like to speculate and invest their wealth in the market in an attempt to make huge profits. The market is ruthless and cannot be taken care of.
Everyone should think of this ending when they start their adventure."
Although Zhu Youxiao was angry, he felt that Zhang Fulin's words made some sense. He calmed down and said, "Are you going to sit back and watch the market collapse and watch people commit suicide?"
Zhang Fulin said: "The market will not collapse, it will only become more and more perfect. This growth process may be bloody, some people will go bankrupt, and some people will hang themselves. But this is inevitable. I am actually very sad and feel the same."
, but securities trading is a new thing. In order to perfect it and improve it, it is necessary to pay some necessary tuition. History will remember these people who sacrificed for the securities market. It is because of their contributions that the Ming Dynasty will be
When the country is rich and the people are strong, it dominates the world."
Zhang Fulin's eloquence is not overrated. Zhu Youxiao's own cultural level is low. He gets confused after hearing a few high-sounding words. He feels that his reaction today is a bit too big. Although the emperor's sister is in trouble, as an emperor, he should not be affected by this.
He was so furious that he wanted to look at a further level. Maybe the plummeting was really the law of the market. After thinking about it, his tone softened: "Then we can't go on like this. The court must take care of it, otherwise no one will buy it.
When I buy stocks and funds, who should I ask for stamp duty? Where do my military expenses come from?"
Huang Xiaotian said: "The emperor's kindness is really a blessing to all people. Of course, the ministers will take action to save the market, but the timing of this action needs to be carefully considered. The lower it falls, the easier it will be to save it. It won't cost much money by then."
If it can achieve the effect of lifting a thousand pounds, Your Majesty, just relax."
Zhu Youxiao said: "With Huang Aiqing's words, I feel relieved. Please kneel down and pay your respects."
Huang Xiaotian and Zhang Fulin felt a chill on their backs when they came out of the Qianqing Palace. If they hadn't bribed the eunuch who delivered the order in advance, knew the reason why the emperor urgently announced their entry into the palace, and made mental preparations in advance, they would have died today.
What a tragedy. The bloody turmoil in the securities market was all caused by these two people. They sold off funds at the highest point and deliberately suppressed blue-chip stocks. It was all their conspiracy.
This is a huge and perfect conspiracy. It all started when Zhang Fulin took over the Securities Regulatory Commission. In fact, he is an official who only engages in speculation and does not have much professional knowledge. After taking office, he grew dozens of gray hairs.
Fortunately, at this time, an expert from outside the world gave him some advice. He gave him the tricks to set up the Yamen in the capital, open branches of the exchange, etc. As time went by, Zhang Fulin naturally treated this person with respect and courtesy, and
He introduced him to his immediate superior, Huang Xiaotian. When Huang Xiaotian saw this man, he was so shocked that he set aside a house to raise him so that he could consult him sooner or later.
How to make money safely and efficiently from the securities market were all the ideas of this expert, including the proposal to issue a 10 million Western Region Fund. The purpose of issuing such a large fund was to make money more conveniently and quickly.
In his eyes, opening a shell company to go public to make money is just a small trick, and people will find out sooner or later. If you want to make big money, you have to learn to use resources.
Zhang Fulin and Huang Xiaotian colluded and sold funds to some court officials at half the price. At this cost, they won over a large number of officials, thus forming a special group that specialized in profiting from the operation of high-quality funds with good returns in the Western Regions.
This small group includes officials from the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yingtian Mansion and even the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, as well as many family members and children of high-ranking officials. Everyone exchanges information and makes progress together. The price for their purchase of funds is already half cheaper than that of ordinary people.
, and have advantages in information and capital. Each company can make up astronomical figures with tens of thousands of taels of silver. Such a force is enough to stir up and down fluctuations in funds worth tens of millions of dollars.
Their operating procedures are as follows. They first use the cheap chips on hand to suppress the price of the fund. When the price reaches a predetermined range, they will absorb a large sum of money. When they have absorbed enough, they will release news that the Western Army has won a victory. They will also behead as many levels as possible before selling them out at that time.
A few buy orders raise the price, and when it reaches a satisfactory level, they sell it again. People chase the rise and kill the fall without getting tired of it. In fact, they are all making wedding clothes for others.
This method of making money is extremely easy and not illegal, so more and more people are joining this group. Now their power has reached an unimaginable level. They have a clear division of labor and a tight organization. They are so financially strong that they would even be ashamed of themselves if they become prosperous.
However, there is one uncontrollable aspect in the operation of the Western Region Fund, and that is that it relies on the performance of the Western Army. The better the Western Army fights, the higher the fund will rise. But this depends on whether the Xixia people will give face.
This time, Yuan Chonghuan's defeat was something that Huang Xiaotian and others did not expect. However, they learned of the defeat in advance, so they finally wildly bid up the fund, and actually hyped it to a sky-high price of three to two or five dollars. They took advantage of this opportunity to flee and flee.
The last blow was handed to the hands of an enemy like Zeng Cheng, who was new to the stock market.
Until the war situation in the western region becomes clear, funds can no longer play, but stocks can still be played. High-quality stocks such as China Merchants Group, Jiangnan Shipyard, and Nanyang Brothers Tobacco House have long been the targets of Huang Xiaotian and others, but they are struggling to hold on.
Stock investors were so reluctant to sell that they couldn't even buy stocks with their money. This time, they took advantage of the sharp decline in funds to suppress the stock market and buy cheap chips.
So they raised a large amount of silver taels and suppressed them by collecting chips from the market at high prices regardless of the cost. The stocks they bought for 100 taels were sold at 80 taels. This almost crazy behavior did achieve the effect. The market began to panic, and most of the people started to panic.
The stockholders were afraid that the price would fall again and adopted the strategy of leaving the market, which was equivalent to helping them smash the market. Even if Peng Jinrong and Hu Yimin prepared five million taels of silver, they would not be able to withstand such selling pressure.
Only when the price drops can you build a position and buy these blue-chip stocks at incredibly cheap prices to achieve the purpose of controlling the company. This is the ultimate goal of setting off this financial crisis. By then, the economic lifeline of the entire Ming Dynasty will be controlled by this group.
