In the stock trading floor, as purchase orders for 10,000 shares were placed, and the price increased by 10%, people soon began to sell the stocks they had just bought in the morning.
"Haha, I bought a hundred shares of stocks this morning just for fun~"
"I didn't expect that I would earn ten taels of silver by this afternoon."
"Let's go, brothers, go have a drink. The ten taels of silver you earned will be used as wine money. Have a good drink today."
There was a man dressed as a young man, holding the banknote he had just received from selling stocks in his hand, and said to his friends.
"It's such a good thing~"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Is this bank note fake?"
"If we throw real money into it, we will naturally take out real money. Otherwise, you really think it's just playing house."
The young master said matter-of-factly.
"This silver is so profitable. I invested one hundred taels of silver in the morning and earned ten taels of silver this afternoon. It's faster than picking up money."
"Isn't that right~"
"If you buy ten thousand shares in the morning and sell them now, you can earn one thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a house in the best place in Tianjin."
"Oh, this stock can still be traded like this~"
"Isn't this just like doing business? The stock is in your hands. You can sell it for as much as you want. You can sell it for one tael of silver or two taels of silver."
Everyone was talking a lot. Seeing this young man taking his friends to eat meat and drink in a restaurant, some people's eyes started to turn slightly red.
Because this money seems to come really easily.
"Alas~"
"I really have no chance of getting rich. I brought 100 taels of silver here in the morning and planned to buy some stocks. But I heard someone said that this stock is a scam and my money will be wasted. I gave up at that time. If I had bought 100 taels of silver at that time,
If you buy stocks, you can earn ten taels of silver now."
"Isn't that right? I regret it too. I could have bought dozens of shares at that time."
"Some people buy tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of shares, but they are not afraid. By then we will be afraid of the dozens of taels of silver in our hands."
People who wanted to buy stocks in the morning and bought them again and again are now regretting it. Some people can't help but beat their chests and scream, as if they have missed out on 100 million.
"Someone is actually willing to pay a higher price to buy stocks~"
Huhe, Bater, and Gertai also had nothing to do and came to the stock trading hall again. Huhe couldn't help being slightly dumbfounded when he saw the purchase information posted on the buyer's bulletin wall.
In his opinion, buying stocks with this money is wasted, and the wasted money turns into paper, which is the most uneconomical thing.
"There's nothing strange about this."
"I think the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company's stock will soar in the future. After the railway is completed, I estimate that it will be difficult to buy its stock even if you have money."
Battle said with little confidence.
"Gertai, quickly sell the five thousand shares in your hand. If you buy it this morning, you can earn five hundred taels of silver in the afternoon. That's okay."
Huhe didn't quite believe what Bater said, but instead asked Gertai to sell the 5,000 shares in his hand.
Hearing Huhe's words, Gertai also seemed very excited. The money was so profitable.
I just bought it in the morning and earned 500 taels of silver in the afternoon?
"Gertai, listen to me, keep this stock in your hands and don't sell it. Its returns in the future will definitely surprise you."
Battelle and Huhe had the opposite view, and had no intention of selling the stocks in their hands.
Gertai immediately hesitated and didn't know what to do.
But in the end, he listened to Battelle and did not sell his shares.
Throughout the afternoon, the stock trading floor was very busy, but there were very few people buying and selling stocks, and there were only a few scattered stocks being bought and sold.
They were all retail investors, and they only had ten or one hundred shares in their hands. Liu Jin never bought enough shares from the purchase orders placed by people.
For the first batch of investors in the Ming Dynasty, they basically bought stocks to get dividends at the end of the year. At first, they did not even think about making money by buying and selling stocks.
Because the Ming Dynasty Morning Post clearly stated that this stock can pay dividends at the end of the year, which is considered an investment and a share purchase, so everyone subconsciously wants to become a shareholder.
The first day of the Ming Dynasty stock market ended in such an atmosphere.
“It’s really as calm as water~”
Liu Jin spent a day in the stock trading hall, and it was a boring day. Compared with the bloody turmoil in the stock market in later generations, the Ming Dynasty's stock market now does not even fluctuate at all.
"It is necessary to stir up the water. Otherwise, if no one buys stocks, the stock exchange will be meaningless."
Then, Liu Jin began to think deeply.
Next, he will continue to list some of his properties, including the Myanmar Jade Trading Company owned by the Zhang brothers, and the Egyptian Canal to raise funds.
If the stock market is as dull as water and no one sees any benefits, then no one will buy stocks, and it will be difficult to raise funds.
Therefore, we must take advantage of this period of time to slowly raise the water level so that everyone pays attention to the stock and is willing to spend money to sell the stock.
The next day, Liu Jin continued to ask people to buy stocks, and the price was even higher than yesterday.
There was another heated discussion among the people in the entire trading hall. At the same time, some people began to follow the listing of selling stocks, but the prices were all mixed up. Some people were asking for 2 taels of silver per share, some were asking for 1.5 taels of silver per share, and even
As if it was fun, someone offered 5 taels of silver per share.
At the same time, on the stock purchase side, someone followed up and posted a message to purchase stocks for 0.9 taels. It was probably just for fun, or with the mentality of giving it a try, maybe someone would be willing to sell.
On the third day, the stock price rose again, and someone posted a purchase message asking for 20,000 shares, with a price of 120 taels for every 100 shares.
Suddenly, the whole stock exchange hall exploded again, and the melon-eaters who came to watch the excitement couldn't help but start talking again.
Ordinary purchase information does not have much meaning. This kind of large order purchase, and the purchase price is the most meaningful.
Many people who sold their stocks on the first day and the second day immediately regretted it. In just one day, the price had already increased by 20%, and one hundred taels of silver became one hundred and twenty taels.
silver.
The money came too fast, and the price rose too fast.
At this time, some people began to follow the listing and buy stocks, and the price even increased by 20%, but the number of people selling stocks suddenly decreased.
The ancient principle of buying up and not down is also applicable here. It is only the third day. Everyone who has stocks in their hands is holding their hands tightly. At the same time, they are also looking forward to the stock price continuing to rise.
Go up.
Next, Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank's stock continued to rise every day. Although it did not rise much every day, on the tenth day, Tianjin Railway Commercial Bank's stock rose to 2 taels of silver.
In the exchange hall, people place big orders to buy stocks every day, and the price rises a little every day. The price increase for ten consecutive days has brought the stock price to 2 taels of silver per share.
All of a sudden, everyone in the stock hall was in a panic.
When I first subscribed for funds, the stock price was only 1 tael per share. In just ten days, it suddenly rose to 2 taels per share, doubling its price.
Those who bought the stocks were naturally very happy, and almost every time they met, they started bragging about how much they had made by buying stocks in ten days.
As for those who sold their stocks, they were all heartbroken and regretful. If they had stayed for a few more days, they would have made more money from the stocks in their hands.
Suddenly, the number of people buying stocks increased, and many people even offered higher prices to buy stocks. The enthusiasm of the first batch of investors in the Ming Dynasty began to burn.
At the same time, Daming Morning Post, Daming Commercial Daily, etc. also began to continuously report on the events at the Tianjin Stock Exchange, reporting that stock prices were rising.
Young and old men in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area also have an additional topic to discuss, and they discuss this stock every day.
The Ming Dynasty Morning Post also began to comprehensively publicize the benefits of railways and the powerful performance of steam locomotives. It believed that after the Beijing-Tianjin Railway is completed, travel in the Beijing-Tianjin area will become extremely convenient, and trains will have great advantages in transporting goods and people.
Great use.
The value of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway must be very great, and its future profits will be very large. The shares of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company are currently the cheapest, and their prices will continue to rise in the future.
Driven by this series of promotions, the stocks of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company continued to rise, and various stock-related matters in the Beijing-Tianjin area also became the focus of discussion.
Here in Tianjin, the most discussed thing is that a man named Lao Li sold his stocks at the instigation of his neighbor Lao Zhang. As a result, the friendship between the two people overturned. Then, Lao Li's inner feelings
After people knew the news, they went to Lao Zhang's house and started a big fuss.
The trouble between Lao Li and Lao Zhang is almost known to everyone in Tianjin. Especially as the stock price rises higher and higher, Lao Li's wife becomes more troubled and goes to Lao Zhang's house almost every day.
Make a fuss and let Lao Zhang pay for his money.
On the first day of the new year, Lao Zhang was asked to pay two taels of silver. After a few days, Lao Zhang was asked to pay three taels of silver. When the stock price doubled, Lao Zhang was asked to pay ten taels of silver.
They went to Lao Zhang's house to make trouble almost every day, so much so that the two families quarreled and cursed almost every day. Soon the whole Tianjin knew about it.
So from then on, young and old men in Tianjin all understood the truth: Don't tell your relatives and friends about buying and selling stocks, and don't advise anyone to buy or sell, otherwise you will become the second old man.
