The rebellion of the people in the East has just subsided, and Guan Bazhou will usher in a bigger storm. Not only are all parties in Guandong not afraid, but they are happy to fish in troubled waters, trying to get chestnuts from the fire.
How can there be peace in the world when people's hearts are restless? If you are greedy, you will bring trouble on yourself.
While Shiba Yoshigan was far away in Kanto talking nonsense with all parties, in Sakai Port, Kinki, in order to deal with the coming financial crisis, Takada Yono was also secretly preparing.
Not only does she want to survive this crisis, but she also wants to use this crisis to make profits and sacrifice funds from Kanto to make her power stronger.
At the beginning of the new year, rumors spread in Sakai Port that the Tokaido trade route might be reopened, which immediately triggered a shock and decline in the high-level stocks of the Hokurikudo trade route.
While the outside world was panicking, Takada Harano, who was stationed at the Shinsengumi, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and calmly discussed with Imai Munehisa.
Imai Munehisa said.
"The rumors that have been released have already had an effect, and the total value of Hokurikudo Trading Route's stocks has dropped from the highest level of about 8 million guan to about 6.5 million guan.
With the cover of this rumor, our act of joining forces with major shareholders to sell stocks first became logical. "
Cashing out at high positions is a technical job.
Only when one party feels that he is selling at a high level and makes the other party feel that he is buying at a low level can the transaction be completed. Then both parties will talk to each other, each will get what he wants, and each will be happy.
Takada Yono joined forces with major shareholders to sell at high prices and cash out. If there are not enough buyers, it will only cause the stock to crash and plummet, so there must be a reasonable excuse to cooperate with the selling.
As soon as the rumors of the reopening of the Tokaido trade route came out, many people were still dubious, but Takada Haruno had already sold a lot of money.
As long as there are still people who don't believe the news about the reopening of the Tokaido trade route, they will regard this sharp decline as an opportunity to buy the bottom, so they will take over the stocks of Takada Haruno and major shareholders and stand guard at a high position.
Takada Yangno nodded and said.
“The decline in Shanglu stocks is almost on the verge of collapse, and we need to stabilize the mood of small investors.
If you find an opportunity to come forward in the past few days and categorically deny the news that the Donghai Road trade route has been reopened, the major shareholders will suspend selling and cooperate with your refutation of the rumors.
Bring the total value back to more than 7 million coins, give small investors a little sweetness and hope, and make them feel that they have hit the bottom before they are willing to continue buying. "
Imai Munehisa bowed.
"Hi."
The stock trading of Hokurikudo Trading is only a very simple transaction. It does not have the various trading methods of the modern financial system and lacks a short-selling mechanism.
To put it simply, you can only buy up, not down. If you want to make profits from stocks, you can only hope for them to rise. Falling prices are unlikely to bring benefits to holders.
Because of the lack of a reasonable short-selling mechanism, Hokuriku's stock price can be speculated to an artificially high level, which is far greater than the actual intrinsic value.
The Kanto-Kansai trade route logistics market is worth about five million guan. Because the Tokaido trade route is blocked and the Nakasendo trade route is difficult to travel, most caravans choose to take the Hokuriku Road trade route.
Because of this, the Hokuriku Trading Company is the only one that has a monopoly on the logistics market worth four million dollars.
The profit ratio of the entire Houriku Road trade route operation is about ten to one, which means that a market of 4 million guan can generate an annual income of 400,000 guan.
However, the highest value of Hokurikudo Trading Co.'s stock was sold to 8 million yuan by Takada Haruno and major shareholders, which was twice the actual intrinsic value.
If the total value of Hokurikudo Trading Co.'s shares were still four million guan, shareholders who purchased the shares would be able to recover one-tenth of their principal through dividends every year.
That is to say, after buying a stock, the capital will be repaid in ten years, and the dividends after that will be the extra interest earned.
However, the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road has been hyped to 8 million guan, and the annual income is still 400,000 guan. So it will take 20 years to pay back the capital, and the intrinsic value has dropped significantly.
In this medieval era when the average life expectancy was twenty or thirty years old, a business that took a lifetime to repay was bound to be a loss-making business.
The stock price of Hokurikudo Trading Co., Ltd. is at a high of 8 million guan, which cannot be maintained for a long time.
Therefore, Takada Haruno will join forces with major shareholders to actively burst the bubble, cash out and run away, leaving the stocks and risks to small investors to take over.
But if they want to cash out smoothly, they have to continue to give hope to small investors, use bad news to cover up the truth of the decline caused by cash out, and use good news to stimulate a rebound and attract small investors to take over the market at a high level.
The longer the stock price of Hokurikudo Trading fluctuates at a high level, the more Haruno Takada and major shareholders will ship at high prices, the more profits will be made, and the more small businesses will be trapped by the high price.
Takada Yono thought about it and said.
"The saint only wrote a private letter to communicate with me about the reopening of the Tokaido trade route, and did not issue an official document.
Before the saint issued an official order, it would not be a violation of business credibility for you to refute the rumors on my behalf, because we didn't know anything about it either.
The Tokaido trade route has reopened, involving the Oda, Tokugawa, Takeda, and Hojo families. It is not that easy for the saint to support the Imagawa family to return to Suruga country. I still have plenty of time.
We used this period of time to try our best to ship goods, distribute the stocks in our hands to small investors, and then wait for official news about the reopening of the Tokaido trade route. "
Both Takada Yono and Imai Munehisa knew in their hearts that once the conclusive news about the Tokaido Trading Road came out, the stock price of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road would definitely plummet.
The current market volume of Hokurikudo Trading Road is 4 million guan a year, and the profit can no longer sustain the stock price of 8 million guan.
After the reopening of the Tokaido Trade Road, it will take at least half of the logistics market of the Hokuriku Road Trade Road. In other words, the Hokuriku Road Trade Road is likely to drop to a market volume of 2 million in the next few years.
In a market of 2 million guan, the profit is 200,000 guan. The stock price for small investors to take over the market at a high level is 8 million guan, which is a return of capital in forty years.
Stocks are bought for the future, and the return of capital in twenty years is already a price that small investors cannot accept, let alone the return of capital in forty years.
As soon as the confirmed news about the Tokaido Trading Line comes out, a large number of small businesses will definitely be disappointed and leave the market, and the stock price of the Hokuriku Trading Line will definitely plummet, possibly even all the way down to a total value of two million dollars.
From 8 million to 2 million, the stock price fell by less than three-quarters, and then cut in half again, which was enough to make everyone feel desperate.
Takada Yono was so courageous that Imai Soku was panicked, and she couldn't help wiping her sweat.
"Sir, is this too cruel? If you can't control it, it will cause a chain reaction..."
Hokurikudo Trading Company stock does not exist in isolation, but uses Saba Food Stamps together with Saba Real Estate. They are the two pillars that stabilize the face value of Sba Food Stamps.
When Sibo food stamps came out, they were highly hyped because of their safety and convenience. One stone of food stamps could be exchanged for two stones of rice.
Afterwards, the Shiba Oda family went to war. In order to support the saint's war, Takada Yono issued food stamps indiscriminately. The face value of the food stamps quickly depreciated. One stone of face value could only be exchanged for one stone of grain, which almost fell below the issue price.
Takada Yono stipulated that Hokkaido Trading Company stocks and Shiba Real Estate could only use food stamps to trade. In addition, he established Shiba Bank to reverse repurchase food stamps and earn interest, which stabilized the value of food stamps.
If the stock price of Hokuriku Doro Trading falls too sharply, by three-quarters, and the trading volume shrinks as a result, the excess food stamps will flood and eat away at the value of the food stamps.
One stone of face value can be exchanged for one stone of rice. This is the bottom line that Takada Yono must adhere to, because the annuity benefits of Shibachu Fund are all paid in food stamps.
If the exchange rate of food stamps is lower than the face value, then the die-hard bankers compiled by Spo will shrink and affect the political stability of the Spo family. This is absolutely not allowed.
What's even more frightening is that the Hokurikudo Trading Road stocks, Saba Real Estate, Saba Bank, and Saba food stamps are already grasshoppers connected on a rope.
If something goes wrong, no one can run away. They can only be tied together and watch the fireworks explode.
Takata Yono sighed.
“If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t do this.
In the battle of Shiba Oda, the military expenditure was two million dan and the reward was 2 million dan. The samurai family cheered loudly and shouted long live the saint. Who knew that behind the long live shouts, they were actually burning money.
A total of four million stones. Even if I can do tricks, I will still die of exhaustion on the stage, right?
There is such a big hole, so much debt, and there is no economic crisis. How can I clear these bad debts?
Instead of passively waiting for trouble to occur, it is better to take action and put the shortfall on others, letting the small investors who speculate in stocks bear the responsibility.
You don’t have to worry too much, the greedy Kanto people have sent us guaranteed funds for stabilization.
They were so powerful, they actually bribed the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association, formulated a water conservancy project plan worth twenty million koku over ten years, and defrauded so much money from the Kanto temple forces.
As of the beginning of this year, the total investment amount has reached 300,000 yuan. As long as the deception is done well, at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan can be defrauded from them this year and next. "
Imai Munehisa smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Two years of lies?"
Takada Yangno nodded.
"Yes, even if you lie to them for two years, the Hokurikudo Trading Route stock must remain in shock for two years. It can fall slowly, but it cannot collapse immediately.
We use good news to stimulate small investors, and use Guandong's 500,000 to 600,000 yuan to fill the hole. If the two work together to protect the market, it will take at least a year and a half.
The mad dog of Hanzawa Naoyi was suppressed by Yukino, and he agreed to stay honest in Tawen Mountain Castle for one year.
After suffering this loss, she will not come to Sakai Port to touch my iron wall again. I left some clues for her, and she has decided to go to Kanto to find a breakthrough.
She thought she could find conclusive evidence of me in Kanto, but when she got there, she only found an even bigger hole.
I believe that the upright Naoyoshi Hanzawa will not compromise. She will definitely tear off the fig leaf of the Kanto people and expose the bad debts there to the saint. That is my best chance to burst the bubble.
If Kanto is corrupted, the Sage will not allow Kinki's economy to have another big problem. Hanzawa Naoyoshi will be suppressed and will no longer be a threat to me.
The people in Guandong have too much time to take care of themselves, and the funds from Guandong will disappear in the plummeting stocks. They help me fill the hole, and I can't get the money back. "
Imai Munehisa said bitterly.
"With this economic chaos, I don't know how many businesses will go bankrupt in Sakai Port, and I don't know how many people will jump into the river in Kinki. Over there in Kanto... there will probably be a river of blood, right?"
Takada Yono shook his head.
"I have no choice, and I don't want to do it, but if they don't die for me, I will die myself.
Behind the mad dog Hansawa Naoyoshi is the support of Ii Naomasa, the central minister in charge of supervision, and behind Ii Naomasa is the support of the chief of the Tongxinzhong of Kamao Clan Township.
The Tongxin Secretariat has long disliked me. The economic power of the entire Spo family and even the relevant allies' sphere of influence has fallen into my hands. Those in the center have always wanted to take away my power.
But this is the territory I have worked so hard to acquire. I am loyal to the saint. I will give the saint whatever he wants. How can I not do it?
Can Naomasa Ii, Kamao Clan and the others find a way to fill the four-million-koku hole? They don't have this ability!
just me! Only I, Takada Yono, sitting in this position and holding this power, can settle all this!
As long as I can successfully survive this cruel economic crisis, my position will become more stable, and Tongxin Secretariat will never dare to attack me casually again!
The saints will rely on me, and the retainers will fear me. As for those annoying dead women, they can't do anything to me and can do nothing to me! "
Imai Sokyu watched with trepidation as Takada Harano got angry. She did not dare to take on such a topic that involved the saint's personal feelings.
Takada Harano realized that he had lost his composure, took a deep breath, and returned to his normal smile.
"You can go ahead and do it, maintain the stock price, ensure that we can ship at a high level, and slowly distribute the stocks to small investors within a year and a half.
If you encounter a big drop, you will use good news to stimulate the market. Coupled with the five or six million Guan people from Guandong to protect the market, I believe you can operate the market stably. "
Imai Munehisa nodded and asked.
"What happens after that? After the economic crisis, everything is devastated. How can we rebuild market confidence?"
Takada Harano smiled.
"You can never cut off leeks. As long as people are still greedy, I guarantee that I can trick them back again.
The Tokaido Trading Road is reopened, but it is still dominated by the Shiba family. The Hokuriku Road Trading Road and the Tokaido Trading Road will be merged into a new trading road stock, capturing the total market of Kanto and Kansai 5 million.
The stock price of Hokurikudo Shoroji fell below 2 million yuan. When the market sentiment was completely desperate, we started to use the funds we cashed out and bought at low prices.
Then they announced the news of New Shanglu stock. There is a logistics market of 5 million guan in Kanto and Kansai. The value of 2 million guan of New Shanglu stock is greatly underestimated, and there will definitely be a surge.
In addition, the Nanman general agent just appointed by the saint is negotiating with the Portuguese.
If more Chinese goods can be bought at lower prices through the newly opened Macao window by the Portuguese, more goods will enter the island country, and the 5 million-ton logistics market will further grow.
The intrinsic value of Xinshanglu's stock exceeded 5 million guan, and the stock price of only 2 million guan was simply a free gift, which would inevitably attract funds to rush in.
In the face of benefits, everyone will heal their scars and forget about the pain, invest money again, help me carry the sedan, and further prosper the Sibo family's economy.
And I will become the heroine who turns the tide in the darkest moment of the economic crisis, the Goddess of Wealth of the Shiba family, and lead the reconstruction of the destroyed economic order in Kinki. I will be the object of everyone's adulation.
Even if you are a saint, you will no longer ignore me. You will definitely value me more, pay attention to me, and care about me.
dont you agree? "
Seeing Takada Harano, who was unknowingly excited again and with a slightly distorted expression, staring at him, Imai Munehisa was like a poor mouse being stared at by a snake, too scared to move.
Cold sweat dripped down her head, and she kept nodding.
"Hi, hi, hi."
Imai Munehisa said hi three times in a row without daring to say a single extra word.
Ever since the saint set foot on the Shinto path, the idea of being a descendant of the gods has been widely spread throughout the land of Kinki.
The direct descendants of Genji in Kawachi are no longer the top nobles of the island country, and the future world must belong to the descendants of Shiba.
In this political atmosphere, discussing the personal emotional issues of saints has become extremely sensitive.
Imai Munehisa is just a businessman.
Even if she is lucky enough to be promoted to the samurai class, even if she is Takada Harano's right-hand man, a powerful person who can make Sakai Port shake by just stamping her feet, she will not dare to say a word on this issue.
Except for the saint and his women, who dares to make a fool of himself on the matter of the descendants of gods? Don't want to die?
