The owner immediately came to his senses after hearing this, "Xiao Min has already thought about it. If the villain directly distributes the goods according to each share of securities, it will not only cause inconvenience to the people who bought the securities, but they will also hold the goods themselves. If you go to sell, you will definitely get a low price because you don’t understand the market.”
"Since they were able to trust the villain and spend real money to support the villain in going to sea, the villain will naturally think about them now. The villain is ready to sell the goods and divide the money directly."
"Your idea makes sense." Han Du nodded, agreeing with his idea.
Indeed, people who buy securities may not necessarily understand the market conditions of various goods. Distributing goods to them is not only troublesome, but also may not necessarily result in a good price.
This simply discourages people from buying securities, and Handu will never allow it.
"Your method is very good. I will order that all dividends from securities stocks in the future must be traded with money, not goods." Suddenly understanding the importance of this matter, Han Du made up his mind without hesitation.
Moreover, in order to make the securities an instant hit and attract more people to buy the securities, Handu planned to concentrate the securities dividends on one day.
Although these merchants traveled together when they went to sea, after selling the goods in the old port, they separated and went to purchase goods separately to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Although they did not travel together when they came back, the time they returned to Ming Dynasty was only a few days apart. Including the time for selling the goods, it took less than ten days in total. The more than 20 ships that had originally raised funds through securities sold all their goods and exchanged them for treasure notes and stored them in the Shipping Department.
Handu's organizer notified everyone who originally purchased the securities that a dividend meeting would be held officially three days later.
Moreover, Han Du also arranged for storytellers such as Chang Hao to use these three days to publicize the dividend meeting.
In just two days, the people in the streets and alleys were talking about the company's dividend meeting. There is no way. Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts, especially sharing money is something that people like to hear and see.
Even Lao Zhu, who was busy reviewing memorials in the Qianqing Palace, heard about the dividend meeting of the Shibo Division.
After hearing the old eunuch's report, Lao Zhu couldn't help but stop taking the ginseng tea to his mouth, "Dividend meeting? What is this kid doing again?"
The old eunuch was shaking from beginning to end. He had just found out what was going on at the dividend meeting, so he came to report to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, I heard that some maritime merchants wanted to go to sea to do business, but they didn't have enough money. Therefore, the Marquis of Zhenhai came up with this method for them, relying on selling securities to get enough goods to go to sea. Now make money Once you have money, you will naturally distribute the dividends to the people who purchased the securities in the first place.”
When he heard about securities, a familiar feeling suddenly flashed through Lao Zhu's mind. After concentrating for a moment, he said, "I remembered that Han Du asked me to let Bao Chao Ti Ji Si print a batch of securities for him. It turned out that it was Use it here.”
"Your Majesty, I heard that Marquis Zhenhai's dividend meeting was very lively, and I heard that those who purchased the securities received a lot of dividends this time." The old eunuch said with a smile.
Lao Zhu raised his eyes and glanced at him, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, "What? Do you want to take a look?"
"Wherever the emperor goes, I will go there. But I see that the emperor has been very tired these days. It would be good if I could go and relax."
Lao Zhu knew that the old eunuch was doing it for his own good, so he raised his finger and pointed at him, laughing and scolding: "You old man, you obviously want to go, but you want to blame it on me."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to act like this." The old eunuch was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground, lowering his head and begging for mercy.
"I'm not blaming you. What are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly?" Lao Zhu pretended to be unhappy.
After the old eunuch stood up tremblingly, Old Zhu turned to smile and said, "Han Du has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Then I will go and see what he is doing."
On the day of the dividend meeting, a lion dance performance began early in the morning at the entrance of the Shibo Division, with loud gongs and drums, attracting people from three floors inside and three outside to watch.
Han Du stood upstairs in the Shibo Department Store, looking at everything with a smile.
Tang He, who was on the side, glanced happily at the lively scene outside the door, turned back to Han Du and said: "After today, the threshold of your business office will probably be trampled by others; The reputation is probably more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.”
"Haha, let me borrow my father-in-law's good words." Han Du happily handed over to Tang He Gong.
While the two were chatting, Xiong Ting came to report, "Sir, the emperor has arrived. Please come and pick him up as soon as possible."
Why is the emperor here?
Han Du and Tang He both looked at each other, wanting to get answers from each other. But obviously, neither of them knew what was going on.
The two set off immediately and walked out of the house one after another.
As soon as he went out, he saw Lao Zhu, dressed in casual clothes, walking upstairs with Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, who were also dressed in casual clothes.
Han Du and Tang He had no choice but to quickly get out of the way of the stairs and bowed down together, "My lord, pay homage to the emperor, pay homage to the queen, and pay homage to the prince."
Lao Zhu waited until Queen Ma and Zhu Biao walked upstairs, then stood in front of them and said, "Get down flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty~"
Lao Zhu first looked at Han Du and said, "I'm here today to see what's going on at your dividend meeting."
Then he looked at Tang He, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Xiandi is here too?"
"Your Majesty, I like to be lively now that I'm getting older." Tang He smiled and looked helpless, "When I heard that it was so lively here, I couldn't sit still. Besides, Today’s dividend meeting is also a share for me.”
"Oh? Brother Xian also bought securities?" Lao Zhu glanced at Tang He in surprise and asked with a smile.
Tang He nodded and agreed with a smile, "I bought some."
Lao Zhu's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became a bit sharp, "What? Is life in Brother Xian's house so embarrassing? Do you still need to buy securities to subsidize your family?"
After the words fell, even Queen Ma on the side couldn't help but change her expression.
This question is not easy to answer. If the answer is yes, wouldn't it mean that Lao Zhu's reward to Duke Xinguo's government was so thin that Tang He had to find another way to make a living? This is simply a slap in Lao Zhu’s face, calling him mean and unkind.
Although this is generally the case, you must not say that Lao Zhu can do this. Having said that, it means harboring resentment and dying without a burial ground is considered trivial.
If the answer is no, then since you are living a wealthy life, why are you so eager to make money? Is it because you have different intentions and use the money for other purposes?
