With the ringing of the bell, the Tianjin Stock Exchange officially opened, the door slowly opened, and many people who had been waiting outside for a long time began to pour in, and then looked around curiously in the hall.
"It's quite big~"
Battelle looked at the stock trading floor and said with a smile.
"Bartelle, you see, everyone is here to join in the fun, no one is buying stocks at all."
Huhe looked at the huge hall. There were many people coming in. In a short period of time, thousands of people poured into the hall, but everyone seemed to come to watch the fun.
"What's the hurry? The stock sales haven't started yet."
Battle said with a smile, looking towards a place where there was a clock hanging. The clock was wrapped with red cloth, which looked very festive.
Everyone did not wait too long, and soon He Yun, the general manager of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, and everyone immediately looked at him.
"Everyone, this is He Yun, the general manager of Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company~"
He Yun smiled and saluted everyone.
"Our Beijing-Tianjin Railway Firm is the first railway firm in the Ming Dynasty. The Beijing-Tianjin Railway that is about to be constructed is also the first railway in the Ming Dynasty. It connects the capital of the Ming Dynasty and Tianjin, the largest and most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty."
"Trains are a new form of transportation, using steam locomotives. They have a very large freight capacity and are very safe. Once the railway is completed, it will definitely rewrite the history of our Ming Dynasty."
"So our Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company is definitely worth investing in... Today our Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company is here to raise funds publicly from Quan Daming. I hope everyone can support it!"
"And our railway company will also work hard to return investors, and we will never let everyone's money go down the drain."
He Yun seemed very nervous and didn't know what to say.
Although he is also a professional manager with active and rich management experience. He has held important positions in Liu Jin's industry before and has seen many big scenes.
But today is a little different. As the first stock to be listed and the first person to ring the bell, he really feels a little guilty.
When He Yun finished speaking, a staff member of the stock exchange soon handed over a small hammer. He took the hammer and walked to the big clock and rang it loudly, which also meant that the first stock of the Ming Dynasty officially started trading.
"Those who want to subscribe for the shares of Beijing-Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank can go to various major windows to subscribe."
Then a staff member of the Tianjin Stock Exchange shouted loudly.
However, there are thousands of people in the hall, rows of chairs are filled with people, and there is a steady stream of people coming in from outside. However, everyone looks at me, I look at you, no one takes the initiative to buy.
stock.
"Gertai, let's go buy stocks~"
Barter stood up and prepared to walk towards the window.
"Battle, you go first, I'd better take a look first~"
Gertai looked around and saw that everyone was still watching, thought for a while and said.
"You, you~"
Barter smiled and shook his head, ignored him and walked straight to the window.
"Some people are going to buy stocks, some people are going to buy stocks~"
Seeing Battelle walking towards the stock trading window, someone immediately couldn't help but say something, and everyone immediately looked over.
"It turned out to be Battle~"
Upstairs, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were also watching every move in the hall.
Liu Jin also recognized Battle at once.
"Old Liu, I told you, this stock must be cool. Look, the market has already opened, but there is only one person buying the stock."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly while eating fruit.
It seems unrealistic to expect people to use their free money to buy stocks.
With Liu Jin's name, just a few rich people can easily raise millions of taels of silver, so why bother to come up with such a troublesome thing.
Zhu Houzhao was a little confused.
"If there is one, there will be a second~"
Liu Jin said very confidently.
"I want to subscribe for 100,000 shares of Tianjin Railway Company~"
Dressed in jewels, Battle came to the window, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, and said very grandly.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
In the hall, everyone watching the excitement couldn't help but exclaimed.
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. For ordinary people, it is an astronomical amount of wealth. Battelle took it out at once and bought one hundred thousand shares.
"Okay, please wait~"
Here at the window, the staff of Tianjin Stock Exchange immediately became excited and busy.
It finally came to life, and it was a big deal worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Sir, please show your ID card and contact information. We will register your personal information so that when the shareholders' meeting and year-end dividends are held, the company can notify you in time."
"In addition, if the stock certificate is lost or damaged, you can come to us for a replacement."
The staff patiently explained everything to Battelle in detail, and at the same time took out a stack of stock certificates.
"Hmm~"
Battelle took out his identity card, reported his address, handed over the banknote, and quickly completed the relevant procedures.
After buying the stocks, Battelle also picked up the stocks and looked at them carefully.
The stocks are similar to the bank notes found in banks. They are printed on special paper with special anti-counterfeiting technology and have the words "Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company Stock" printed on them.
Because Battle purchased 100,000 shares at one time, all he had in hand were certificates for 10,000 shares.
When the exchange issues stocks, there are five types of certificates: one share, ten shares, one hundred shares, one thousand shares, and ten thousand shares to meet different customer needs.
If you buy a large amount at one time, you will be given a large amount of stock certificates, and if you buy a small amount, you will be given a small amount of stock certificates. There are also targeted services based on different customers.
Big customers like Battelle naturally want to leave their personal contact information. When the firm has any major events, it must rule over larger shareholders like them.
If it is a small business and you only buy a few shares, dozens of shares, or hundreds of shares, then there is no need to leave your contact information. If you want to know the news, you must know it through the company's announcement.
“It’s quite good~”
Battle looked at the stock, touched the paper, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother, let me show you this stock~"
As Barter walked towards his seat, someone said with a smile.
"This is a stock. A large stock of 10,000 shares is worth 10,000 taels of silver~"
"But it's tied to my identity. It's useless if someone else steals it. So feel free to buy it."
"This stock must be good."
Battelle took out the stock and showed it to everyone, and said with a smile.
"Ten thousand taels of silver in exchange for a piece of paper?"
"Oh, this money is wasted~"
"Isn't that right? These hundred thousand taels of white money were exchanged for ten pieces of paper like this."
After some people saw it, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that Battelle took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes and then exchanged ten pieces of paper. They all immediately felt that it was not worth it for Battelle and that they had been cheated.
After hearing everyone's words, some people who originally planned to buy stocks hesitated, or were dissuaded by people around them.
"Ger Tai, didn't you say you wanted to buy stocks?"
"Hurry up and buy it, there's no one around now."
Battle smiled and ignored those people.
Xia Chong can't say anything to Bing. What's there to talk about with these people? Mr. Liu and His Royal Highness have thrown millions of taels of silver into it. My one hundred thousand taels of silver is just a ball.
"I, let me see again~"
When Gertai heard this, he immediately seemed very hesitant, wondering whether he should buy the stock.
Thinking about it, the free money was exchanged for a few pieces of paper. Anyway, I felt that the money was wasted.
"It's just five thousand taels of silver, it depends on your future~"
When Battle heard this, he couldn't help but said.
"Okay, okay~"
When Gertai heard this, he gritted his teeth and went to buy stocks.
Prairie people are like this. They can't bear to be looked down upon by others. Five thousand taels of silver will be wasted in vain. But you must not let others look down upon you. You want to save face!
"Gertai~ Five thousand taels of silver, enough to buy many women~"
Huhe looked at Gertai and couldn't help but persuade him.
"...There are already so many women in your family. Sooner or later you will die on a woman's belly."
Bart was immediately speechless. This Huhe, what he likes most when he has money is to buy female slaves. There are already hundreds of women from various countries in his family, and they are still shouting about it every day.
In the hall, there were many people watching the excitement, but there were very few people buying stocks. Only occasionally people came to buy stocks, but the purchases were not much. Most of them were hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. There were very few people.
I bought tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go.
"Old Liu, it looks like it's really cold. This stock can't be sold."
Upstairs, Zhu Houzhao looked at the scene in the hall and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't worry, the stock will definitely be sold."
"No big deal, I'll cover it all~"
Liu Jin said with a smile, and then looked at his subordinates, who immediately understood and started to do things.
Soon, in the hall, the number of people going to buy stocks suddenly increased, and these people who bought stocks basically bought stocks for 10,000 taels, or 20,000 taels, which made them appear wealthy.
Under the guidance of these people, people who were initially hesitant began to be motivated, and soon, more and more people were buying stocks.
Four million shares sounds like a lot and is a huge number, but Tianjin is now the richest place in the Ming Dynasty. There are many rich people here, and Liu Jin had already ruled some wealthy people beforehand.
Big boss, so more and more people are buying stocks.
Following someone's initiative, more and more people bought stocks in the hall. When the trading was about to end in the morning, all four million Beijing-Tianjin Railway shares were officially sold out.
