Zuo Zongtang's return to the capital did not last for a day and a half. He would not be able to return to the capital until at least the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. There were many things in the court, and the busy days passed quickly and boringly.
While the people of the capital city were enjoying the sweetness of the first crop of watermelon in June and living their small lives without caring about the outside world, the major stock exchange markets in Jiangnan were already busy for the Eight Banners of the capital city.
June 15th is the time for the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock to be listed for trading. Ten million shares of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock are the original shares of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
If these stocks want to be traded on the secondary market, many people need to do a lot of work, including early publicity and road shows, and advance printing of delivery orders in major stock trading markets.
Arranging separate traders, and even requiring insiders to specially invite those big investors in Jiangnan, those hot money gods to have tea and wine, this is called bye-bye pier!
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The creation of the stock market by the Chinese has indeed created a large number of folk gods of wealth, who are dedicated to the stock market.
Some are advocates who write articles in newspapers, some are big sellers with strong funds, and there are also many wolf-like medium-sized funds that join together to speculate in the market.
This group of people has a great influence on the stock price. Although it is impossible to affect the long-term trend of a stock, the short-term fluctuations are still quite large.
Xiao Letian appointed Liu Yunzhen as the general supervisor of the Chinese stock market. He was familiar with these people's routines and knew their skills, so under Liu Yunzhen's suppression, these people did not dare to make too much trouble.
The head of state has told Liu Henzhen a long time ago that we will not prevent others from getting rich. As long as he is legal, everyone can do it according to their own abilities!
But as the general supervisor, you must put long-term development first. You can’t catch all the money, and you have to have a certain amount of money!
For some overly arrogant speculators, you must focus on supervision and suppression, so as not to ruin the overall situation of long-term good development!
With Xiao Letian setting the tone, Liu Hengzhen's control over these hot money is quite strict, and he often brings these hot money gods together for regular meetings to hammer things out.
In a year, I have to pick two blind chickens to kill for the monkeys to see. It is under such suppression that these hot money did not fall into trouble!
Of course, they did not dare to fall out with God. After the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, these people had secretly collaborated to loot the wealth of the people in Jiangnan!
If the great monk Longshi who stayed behind hadn't secretly mobilized the army to suppress it, these speculators would have really succeeded!
Liu Yunzhen knew the virtues of this group of people, who were afraid of power but not immoral. There were probably only a few god-like figures like the head of state in the world who could suppress them!
At their core, these people only care about money and not people!
After the Franco-Prussian War, there was an information time lag between Europe and Asia, and the information channels between private citizens and these investors were also different.
At that time, they were all ready to take advantage of the people's distrust of the results of the legal popularization and spread false news.
Then this group of people started smashing the market, smashing all the stock prices to the floor, no, no, no, to hell.
Then they will plunder and buy as much as they can. As long as they control one-third of the chips in the Jiangnan stock market, they will wait slowly!
Just wait for the head of state to return to the country, because as long as the head of state returns to the country, the truth about the French war reparations will be made public. By then, the stock prices that have been smashed through the floor will definitely skyrocket!
Pros and cons, these people have no problem at all plundering more than 100 million silver from Jiangnan!
Liu Yuzhen had experienced that scene back then, and he was hanging to death at that time. If the Great Monk Longshi hadn't taken action in the end, transferred a battalion of troops from the Far East, and beat King Xiao Tian, there would not have been such a strong suppression later. .
Since that time, the head of state has become more and more strict in controlling these hot money, and Liu Henzhen and these people have no good looks at all.
But today was an exception. On June 10th, Mr. Hesitation actually entertained guests at Deyue Tower in Suzhou. This made these people feel flattered. They all showered and changed clothes early. The banquet started at noon and they went to wait at nine in the morning.
Many of these hot money gods came from other cities. Wait until after nine o'clock when there are more people to see it. It's really amazing. Big speculators from Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hankou...all the major commercial ports are here.
In many places, it takes more than ten days just to travel, which shows that Mr. Hesitation has been preparing for this banquet for a long time.
These people have all worked together before. After meeting, they immediately gathered together in twos and threes and whispered about this.
"Hey... why do you think Mr. Hesitation is treating you today? I just came from Hankou and I don't know how deep the water is here!"
"Don't look at me. I just came from Shanghai, and my forehead is blurry! But I heard it has something to do with the issuance of stocks in the north!"
"That's right, it's the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock issued by the Tatars! I'm afraid this meeting is just for this stock!"
"Hmm, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock issuance is quite impressive! We currently have 298 stocks listed in Jiangnan. Which one is so crazy?"
"I won't talk about the earliest batch. It was so long ago that we didn't join this industry and didn't understand it. But the subsequent stock issuances were all very well-behaved!"
"The boss behind which stock is not allowed to personally take action, bye bye to the dock? Pay money to hire writers to praise and flatter, and the exchanges in various cities are popular!"
"Why can't we people treat us to a drink? It's not that we lack that drink, it's all about face!"
"People have to abide by the rules. If you want to take more than 10 million from Jiangnan by issuing 10 million shares, you have to have some attitude, right?"
"That's good. The listing is about to be completed on the 15th, and so far we haven't even seen one of their managers. Isn't this too incompetent?"
People complained one after another, and everyone said that the stock issuance of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway was outrageous, did not follow any rules, and was extremely arrogant!
It’s no wonder these people are angry and complaining, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock issuance is really a bit arrogant.
"Hmph! Who is he? Those are stocks issued by the imperial court, the emperor's family wealth! Can he look down on us grass-headed kings and skinny grasshoppers?"
"You asked the manager of the stock market to treat you to a meal? The manager might be a third-grade official from the Ministry of Industry. Treating you to a meal? When the time comes, you will be forced to kneel down and behave, and you won't dare to raise your head!"
Everyone was angry and couldn't refute this. Think about it, this is the truth. For stocks issued by the imperial court, do you let those officials follow these people's paths and say good things about these people? It's impossible when you think about it.
After a moment of silence, someone punched the table angrily, "What's wrong with the court? The court can't look down on people! Now the court needs us, and they still want us to kneel down and serve them?"
Jiangnan has become wise, especially these pioneering social forces, and even more so. In this Deyue Tower, someone actually said something disrespectful.
"Ahem...who is this? He speaks without restraint, and the richer he is, the less profound he becomes? You are a bit too arrogant...Fat Bear!"
As soon as the sound of life rang out, more than 30 hot money gods in Deyue Tower stood up collectively with a swishing sound and bowed neatly to salute.
"Greetings to Mr. Hesitation!"
