Everyone was in an uproar! These thirty or so money gods were all shocked. Although these people were rich, they rarely had access to Chinese national strategic-level plans. They rarely had the opportunity to analyze problems from a high position.
What Fan Daguan showed today made them unable to adapt in a short time!
It turns out that the small Beijing-Tianjin Railway only costs 10 million yuan. If it is listed three or four times in the future, it will only cost 30 to 40 million yuan.
This small amount of money is an astronomical amount for one person, but for a capital group, it is really just a small amount of money.
But the entire railway network of the Qing Dynasty is a huge business. You can say one billion taels is no problem, and two billion is also fine!
The railway transportation network that traverses the east, west, south, and west of mainland China will require so much capital to be raised, how many shares will be issued, and how much profit will be made once the railway is built. Moreover, it will be endless money that can be made in a lifetime, and it can be made for hundreds of years!
Once this stock is made, it will really be passed down from generation to generation, and the dividends will be enough to support the children and grandchildren!
However, the resistance to the construction of the entire railway network of the Qing Dynasty was considerable. How many people did Emperor Tongzhi kill for the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the Beijing Iron Works? How many resentful souls of the opposition were there to promote the issuance of Beijing-Tianjin Railway shares?
In any historical period, there are many people who want to reverse the course of history. When conservative forces refuse to reform, their resistance is frightening!
These people would never allow railways to be built extensively in the Qing Dynasty. In their eyes, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway was already deviant. They just couldn't afford to offend Emperor Tongzhi, so even if they gave him a big toy!
Do you still want to build the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in the future? Do you still want to build the Beijing-Shanghai Railway? Do you still want to connect the Western Regions with the Central Plains? You still want to build a railway outside the Pass in Longxing Land of the Qing Dynasty?
If you dare to propose a plan for these projects, they will eat you alive!
But the railway must be built, because it is not only the foundation of the country's prosperity, but also a weapon for the Chinese to control the Central Plains!
Although the Chinese are powerful now, their sphere of influence is entirely determined by the force projection range of the Navy and Marine Corps.
The ocean, the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal and other water transportation areas in the future can allow Chinese warships, large and small, to pass quickly, and the Marine Corps can quickly deploy troops.
Only within the range of cannons can the Chinese dare to invest in industry and turn their huge wealth into fixed assets!
All Chinese industrial areas today are based on the coastline and the Yangtze River Basin, areas where military forces can radiate. However, the deeper inland Chinese have been cautious not to invest too much.
Western Region Investment Bank is actually a very, very high-risk investment, and Xiao Letian is even mentally prepared to lose all his money!
However, the Chinese cannot forever be limited to expanding their power within the scope of water transportation. The inland areas must also have Chinese influence, so that they can be prepared to fully take over the territory of the Qing Dynasty in the future!
A railway is an extension of the powerful Chinese military power. Why did Xiao Letian create a railway corps? This is to prepare for a rainy day and make preparations in advance before the Daqing Railway Network is built.
Invasion is like fire, King Luo Huo, deserves the honor of being the first commander of the railway corps, and I hope his violent temper can instill the first ray of military spirit in the army!
Invasion is like fire. Wherever the railway extends, it is the sphere of influence of the Chinese people and it is the first battlefield for the railway soldiers to attack!
But how could the Qing Dynasty be allowed to build a nationwide railway network? Count on the old guard? That is absolutely impossible. After thinking about it for a long time to get those stubborn conservatives to change their minds, the best way to reform is to induce them!
The stock market is a place that amplifies people's greed and fear. No matter you are a prince or a beggar on the street, everyone will be confused by the huge profits of ten times in a short period of time.
Greed can make people lose their souls and all independent thoughts!
The Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock is the first piece of bait. Don’t you, the Manchu and Qing conservatives, don’t want it now? Didn’t you sell them all secretly? The 10 million plate, now the Eight Banners only has a little more than 1 million, and the other shares are in the hands of others!
Just wait and cry, your eyes will bleed from crying!
Three times the profit, three times the profit can be obtained in just three or four months, who is not greedy?
Prince Lao Li asked Feng Xiu to run and finally bought 100,000 shares as a prince. But he had no idea that by the end of June or early July, the Chinese would have already set their sights on the stock price at between three and four yuan!
One hundred thousand can suddenly become more than three hundred thousand or even four hundred thousand!
If Fu Qing earns 600,000 yuan by himself, this amount of money will turn into 1.8 million or even 2.4 million in the future!
Prince Dun Yiyi bought 500,000 yuan, which will be a huge profit of 1.5 million to 2 million yuan in the future!
As for Fan Big Head, he bought a total of 800,000 yuan from the Eight Banners, and it turned out to be 3.6 million yuan!
With such crazy huge profits, one can only imagine what kind of chaos the capital will become. By then, these people will be filled with regret!
Human history has proven countless times that it is difficult for anyone to be rational under the trend of investment market speculation, such as the British South China Sea stock crisis, the Dutch tulip bubble, and several Great Depressions in the United States.
That all has something to do with hype, that kind of fanatical atmosphere of benefiting all the people and making everyone rich, even a wise man like Newton would be lost!
Do you hope that the Eight Banners dude will not fall into this trap? That group of people eat, drink, whore, gamble, smoke, and are greedy for money... They still want to fish out the copper coins in the oil pan and spend them. How can they let go of such an opportunity to make a fortune?
The failure of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stocks was to teach them a profound lesson, and then they could logically continue to promote the Qing Empire Railway stocks.
Using the entire Qing Dynasty's railway network investment to bundle into one stock, this group of Eight Banners dudes, in order to make money, they had to work hard to get this plan passed in court.
By that time, all officials who oppose the construction of the Qing Dynasty Railway will become life-and-death enemies who prevent them from making a fortune!
They have already missed the opportunity to make a fortune on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway. Do they want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune on the Qing Empire Railway stocks again?
This is the head of state's plan to pull out all the money from under the cauldron. This is a greedy game that makes all the Manchu dignitaries lose their minds!
As long as people are greedy, they will definitely reveal their flaws, and they will automatically and consciously jump into the hole you dug!
Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still jump. Why? Because people have a sense of luck, they will think that they are lucky, that they are the one who eats the cake in the trap and can escape in time before the mechanism is activated.
With such a huge plan to make a fortune, the Qing Empire's railway network will soon begin to be built. As long as the railway network is built, the foundation for the Chinese to expand inland will be there!
The coastal areas, the areas along the rivers, the areas along the railways...are all controlled by the Chinese. What do you have left for the Qing Dynasty? What else do you have?
