Zuo Zongtang became angry when he mentioned the Jiangnan stock market. When he opened his eyes to see the world, he was still a scholar who came out of traditional Confucianism.
This kind of people are naturally hostile to businessmen, not actually businessmen, but to the profit-seeking spirit of businessmen, and they hate them from the bottom of their hearts.
Because according to the spiritual core of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in ancient China, the unrestricted pursuit of money endlessly expands human desires, which is a disaster.
Why does Chinese traditional thought suppress businessmen? We just don’t want money worship to become rampant in society, which will cause a very chaotic social order.
The stock market is a product of the Western capitalist system. It is a pure ocean of money and a game of money!
"How many people have those stock markets in Jiangnan killed in the past few years? Willow Bugs should be cut to pieces. When I return to Jiangnan, I will strangle him with my own hands!"
"Gathering people's money together to play a game of drumming and passing flowers? You buy it for me, and I'll sell it to you to make the difference, and we go back and forth together to speculate..."
"Everyone who makes money will eventually make money that others after him lose!"
"How many workers have stopped working? How many scholars have given up studying? How many farmers have become lazy? They stare at the changing numbers on the water sign every day, always thinking about getting something for nothing!"
"As far as I know, there are no fewer than forty or fifty people in Suzhou who commit suicide every year because of losing money! You still say that this is not a harmful thing?"
"How can I, Zuo Zongtang, fight in Xinjiang by relying on the money from setting up gambling bureaus to fight the war? It is a disgrace to our ancestors!"
Good guy, this is such a stinking curse. The spittle flew all over Fan Jin's face. Liu Jintang tried hard to persuade him, but he didn't dare.
After scolding for more than twenty minutes, Zuo Zongtang got tired and then sat back to drink and catch his breath. Then he saw where Fan Jin was wiping the saliva on his face!
When King Shang Tai saw that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly came out to smooth things over, "Commander Zuo, don't be angry, you can talk about anything you want! The Jiangnan stock market is a new thing after all, and it's normal for it to be a little chaotic at the beginning..."
"The European stock market has been developing for more than 200 years. It was chaotic at the beginning, but isn't it much better now..."
No matter how bad-tempered Zuo Zongtang is, he is still governed by the rules of the monarch and his ministers, so he has to give King Shangtai some face. Fan Jin saw this as an opportunity and quickly poured wine for the commander-in-chief.
"Oh... Marshal, please moisten your throat. You will continue to scold me for a while... Now maybe you can allow me to say a few words?"
"Hmph... Let's talk. I want to see if any ivory can come out of the dog's mouth..."
"Hey... Commander, you have really wronged us, and you have also wronged Jiangnan's stock market... The original intention of the head of state in setting up this stock market is really not to set up a casino!"
"You are a person who has learned a lot about the world. You cannot be deceived by all the principles in the world... The head of state once said something. Does it make sense to you?"
"This kitchen knife can cut vegetables, but it can also kill people! If it is used to cut vegetables, it is a tool. If it is used to kill people, it is a murder weapon! But whether it is a tool or a murder weapon!"
"In the final analysis, the person holding the knife is still responsible. The kitchen knife itself is innocent!"
"The original intention of the creation of the stock market is to gather the loose power of the people to do great things for the country and the people! You also know that Europe has entered the industrial age, and the funds used in those big factories and projects are the same as the water in the sea. many!"
"In this era, just relying on one or two people, or a small group of people, is not enough. We have to gather the strength of the whole people!"
"Everyone collects their shares and decides which industry to invest the money in. It all depends on your own vision. If the company you invest in is right and the company makes money, everyone will be able to receive dividends. If the investment fails, you can withdraw your shares and stick to it, or you can't. Blame others!”
"This is the original intention of the head of state to run the stock market, so that idle funds can find a way out, so that those who are doing big things will not be short of money, and those who have spare money will not be stunned!"
"Who asked them to speculate in the short-term? Who forced them? Those who saw the stock price fluctuations became evil and greedy were not forced out by us!"
"Commander, please stop staring and listen to me first... The iron law prescribed by the head of state for the stock market is the forced dividend system! As long as your company is profitable, it must pay dividends at the end of the year, and you cannot use any excuse not to pay dividends!"
"Once a loss occurs, the stock price must be marked separately on the green sign. This is to remind investors that there was no dividend last year and there was no profit. You must be careful!"
"If there is no dividend for two consecutive years, trading of this stock will be restricted. The water sign clearly states that this is a risky stock! We really think about the people, and we really don't want the people to lose money!"
"Actually, Marshal, if you take a closer look at the more than 100 stocks in the Jiangnan stock market, they are actually profitable and pay dividends every year. As long as the people hold on patiently, they will definitely get New Year's dividends at the end of the year!"
"We have calculated it, and the dividends are huge. In terms of income ratio, it is much more than renting a house or working a job!"
"There are people who commit suicide by jumping into the river. They are restless people who insist on making quick money. Those people are really playing the game of passing flowers around!"
"No one forced them, and no one lied to them. In fact, the head of state had consciously suppressed them from the beginning when the system was set up... But good words can't persuade the damn devil, man! I really don't listen to advice!"
Fan Jin said with great loneliness, "At the beginning of the establishment of the stock market, the head of state once said that this market can actually develop well so that people can earn corporate profits and receive annual dividends. This is the right way!"
"Once you are reduced to making money by price fluctuations, it is all evil... But some people just live and die in this evil way and do not follow the right path. They want to make quick money rather than making stable money..."
"What can we do!"
Fan Jin took a sip of wine to calm down, "Let's get back to what we just said! Don't worry, Commander, if we really set up this Western Region Investment Bank, we will definitely not lose money in the end, and neither will the investors who invest in us." deficit!"
"Why? Because this investment bank not only wants to invest in the war, but also invests in the subsequent economic reconstruction!"
"Haha, Commander, don't think that we are sincerely doing good deeds. In fact, we are doing it without any benefit! Since we have helped the army so much, we must also talk about the benefits in the future!"
"Western Region Investment Bank will eventually make money, and he must give an explanation to those investors who invested 35 million taels of silver!"
"Once the commander-in-chief pacifies Xinjiang, our investment bank will need special licenses in some industries!"
"We will establish large-scale pastures, spinning mills, and weaving factories in Xinjiang...excavate various mineral deposits and have special rights to build roads, especially railways!"
"I know that there are no railways in the Qing Dynasty, and the court does not allow it, but what I hope is that once the court lifts the ban on railway construction, then the railways in Xinjiang will be exclusively undertaken by us!"
"The construction of the telegraph office also needs to be given to us... Here is a list you can look over later!"
"This is an outcome that is beneficial to both parties. You don't have to worry about military expenses, and the owner of the 35 million taels of silver capital can also get a long-term stable source of profit!"
"No matter how much it is, this is a long-term deal! People with spare money hold hundreds or thousands of shares. Maybe these shares can earn one more person's salary in a year!"
"Everyone is happy, do you think everyone is happy?"
