"Can that be the same? We are all ordinary people! What is a prince? The disciple of a god. The old god can develop a new thing with just a few pointers!"
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed powerful. It's a pity that we are soft-spoken and old and scumbag. We can't play together with the Crown Prince at all. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince leaks some information to us, we can all take advantage of it!"
"No! Look at Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others. Before, they had nothing to show for themselves at home, and they didn't even have anyone to lead their horses when they went out! Just because they came into contact with the prince, look at it now. They cheer and hug each other before going out. It’s very scenic!”
"What's the big deal? Have you seen His Majesty's majestic steam car? I heard that several ministers have also ordered it. It won't be long before we have several more cars in Xianyang City!"
"Alas! It's a pity that I didn't have much money when I invested in the railway last time, so I didn't seize the opportunity. Otherwise, I would be able to get involved with the prince in the future...!"
In addition to praising Ying Feiyu, several petty officials also felt sorry for their own insignificance.
He missed out on buying shares in the railway and wanted to buy a steamship to go to Nanyang to make money but had no money to invest, so he became one of the poorest people in the court.
"It doesn't matter if you miss the railway. I heard that this electric power company is also going to issue shares. You can invest more when the time comes and you can get dividends in the future!"
Just when everyone was feeling sorry, one of the officials whispered.
"Electricity is also going to issue shares? Is this news reliable?"
When everyone heard the sound, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"It must be reliable...!"
The official who revealed the news nodded firmly, and then continued: "When I visited the electric power plant yesterday, I heard Zhang Shangshu ask about this with my own ears, and got a positive answer from the prince!"
"Oh? What a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence! Although the two people's voices were very low at the time, I happened to pass by and heard them!"
"That's great! Electricity will be widely used in the future. If you can invest in it, you can make a lot of money!"
Several petty officials instantly saw hope.
But when he turned around, he was poured a basin of cold water on him, "Even if the electric power IPO is concerned, it is still a matter from above. We, the junior officials of the sixth and seventh grades, can only stand aside!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
That’s right!
Every time something good happened, it was taken up by the people above. By the time they got the news, other people's businesses had already started, and it was not their turn at all!
The only time was when two railways were built at the same time. As a result, because I didn’t have much money, I couldn’t invest in shares!
Just when everyone was disappointed, the next newspaper rekindled their hope!
That’s 100 million yuan for the electric power offering, and everyone can participate!
When the people saw this news, they once again set off a wave of heated discussions!
"Old Wu, have you read the newspaper? Daqin is going to set up a power company, and everyone can become a shareholder!"
"I looked at it! But what does this mean? What does it mean that everyone can invest in it?"
"Don't you understand, Renren? It means that as long as you are a human being and have money, you can buy shares...!"
The person asked almost laughed angrily.
Point to the words on the newspaper and explain them to him!
"Can I... also become a shareholder?"
The ordinary citizen known as Lao Wu asked tentatively.
"What's wrong? You don't have any money? Or are you not human?"
"He's a human! He's also rich!"
Old Wu nodded dully.
It's not that he can't read newspapers, it's just that he can't believe that such a good thing can happen to an ordinary person like him.
"Then it's over! Although we are common people, our status is not specified in the newspaper. It is written clearly in black and white. Everyone can participate in the stock purchase!"
"Yeah! That's great. I'll go back and prepare the money right now!"
It wasn't until he repeatedly emphasized that Lao Wu dared to believe that this was the truth, and ran happily towards home.
Like him, many people immediately started raising money after reading the newspaper, preparing to flex their muscles during the power IPO.
The officials in the DPRK and China were all the same. When they learned that this IPO was for the entire Qin Dynasty, they immediately became happy!
The few petty officials who had been unable to make money by investing in shares were so happy that they put all the money at home together and prepared to invest in electricity!
In their impression, as long as they join the prince's business, there is nothing they can do without making money!
It's like a money tree. As long as you scatter the seeds, you'll be waiting to reap a steady stream of profits!
Even though it was clearly stated in the newspaper that electricity would not see profits in a short period of time, they still willingly invested all their remaining money in the shares!
Because they pay more attention to the second half.
The income from electricity is stable and long-term.
It may be ten, twenty, or thirty years before you see the benefits, but it is definitely stable enough to benefit future generations!
Especially for officials, if their current generation is an official, the next generation may not be able to continue to be an official.
They do this just to leave a way out for their descendants!
Even if you accomplish nothing, you won’t end up on the streets without food!
But after this news was released, Wang Bi, Zhang Han, Feng Quji and other old guys were extremely disappointed, and they all came to Bieyuan to look for Ying Feiyu.
"His Royal Highness, we all know that you care about the people of the world! You also said last time that you want the people to participate in the shares! But why is there a limit of 100 million gold?"
In the main hall of Bieyuan, several old guys were sitting on both sides, and no one touched the hot tea in hand.
After accumulating strength for so long, I was waiting for the electric power IPO to be sold out, but now the amount has been limited.
Now that everyone is raising money, how many shares can they grab?
"Yes! Your Highness, didn't you say last time that the little money we have in terms of electricity is not enough to pull the wires?"
Zhang Han frowned slightly and asked with a grimace.
"Yes, I did say that!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"But now...this...oh!"
Feng Quji spread his hands and sighed deeply.
Now that the news has been released, if they take all the shares, what will the people think of them?
But if you don't take advantage of it, wouldn't you lose such a good opportunity in vain?
"What do the ministers mean by this? Is it possible that you have this hundred million gold in your hands?"
Thinking of this, Ying Feiyu had to look at several old guys with surprise.
I really didn’t expect that they could collect so much money without saying anything?
You know, the last time they raised funds to build a railway, each of them contributed one or two million dollars, and now they can actually raise 100 million?
"No, no, no, we don't have that much money now, but you and your majesty will definitely account for the majority of the electricity. Of these 100 million gold, only a small part is left for us. We just scrape together. Plus the ministers in the court, that’s enough!”
Feng Quji waved his hands repeatedly, then counted his limited shares with his fingers.
