Losing two cents per share is something Lord Qin can still do, and the prince will not trouble him for the loss of two cents. But if you don't make money, you don't make money. The prince must still be unhappy.
Just when he was hesitating while looking at the stock price, a person suddenly slapped him from behind, "Why are you hesitating, Mr. Qin? My lord has invited..."
"Who are you? You! Hey... when did you come back?" Master Qin immediately had a smile on his face.
Who is coming? This is Liu Peiqi, who holds the position of head of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Everyone with well-established connections in the capital knows that this person is actually a direct descendant of Yang Zhi, the governor of the Central Bank of the Qing Dynasty.
During the financial strangulation war in Jiangnan, he was the messenger who bridged the gap between him and Zhang Xiaowen!
Now that he is here, can the rightful master be far away? Mr. Qin followed him into a small box in the teahouse. Inside was the Chinese traitor Yang Zhi.
"Greetings to Mr. Yang!" Seeing the God of Wealth, even though he was a bannerman, he didn't care about his identity and hurried up to kowtow to Yang Zhi as if he was pounding garlic.
"Well... get up!" Yang Zhi has also learned a lot of the bad habits of the Manchus over the years. He is very arrogant and speaks with a long and contemptuous tone!
Master Qin was especially begging him at this moment. He didn't dare to put on the airs of a bannerman. He stood beside Yang Zhi with a smile and did not dare to sit down. "Mr. Yang, I have visited you several times, but you are not at home..."
"Stop talking, I can't be found by anyone in the Qing Dynasty! Bah... If I let you find it so easily, I'd probably die a hundred times!"
Yang Zhi spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, "I've seen the prince's post. Don't tell me why you're here. Don't you just want to make some money as a banker?"
"Simple! I have to give you the prince's face no matter what! But I have another condition. Since you beg me, then you must agree with me!"
"Go back and tell the prince that if you have a principal of less than one million taels, don't discuss cooperation with me. If you have a principal of more than one million taels, we can discuss becoming the banker!"
"And if you cooperate with me, you can only distribute dividends once a year. You are not allowed to care about daily losses, and you are not allowed to ask about them! Financial games are not children's play!"
"I heard that you lost forty cents on the first day and almost had the prince beat you to death? Haha, if you still have this hot temper when you cooperate with me, then we will break up at once. I won't wait for you!"
Yang Zhi was so rude. He didn't save any face for Prince Zheng. Master Qin's face turned pale when he heard this!
Looking at Master Qin's appearance, Yang Zhi sneered and said, "You are different from other bannermen. At least you can listen. In this case, I will give you a big gift package first!"
"Today's closing price is just like this. You can sell all the more than 10,000 shares you have for one dollar and fifty-eight cents! Until July 2nd, the price will definitely fall!"
"You don't have to be too greedy. Just buy as much as you can for one dollar to two or three dollars and wait patiently!"
"Ah? Mr. Yang, do you have inside information?" Master Qin asked.
Liu Peiqi on the side stopped him, "Master Qin! My adults are tired and have to go back to rest. If you have anything to do in the future, just contact me directly!"
"I'll give you a word. Master Yang, that's worth a thousand dollars. It's a huge honor to be able to tell you so much. Don't be too greedy!"
"After all, we haven't cooperated yet, and we can't tell you all the secrets! As for what I just said, you can figure it out yourself!"
Yang Zhi's nickname is the Nine-Life Cat. He will never stay in one place for too long. He drank a bowl of tea in the teahouse, said a few words, and immediately slipped out of the back door under the protection of the guards.
After Liu Peiqi stayed and explained a few details to Yang Zhi, he also left through the front door. Master Qin stared blankly at the remaining tea on the table and thought for a long time.
"Grandma, it's a bet! I don't believe I'm so lucky!"
Mr. Qin walked out of the teahouse. At this time, there were only more than 20 minutes left before the market closed. He resolutely walked into the exchange and looked at the price above and said loudly, "One dollar and fifty-eight cents, I sold everything in my hand!"
The old friends on the side were all anxious and quickly came over to persuade him, "Hey, you will buy it at this price? Aren't you afraid that the prince will slap you? Or do you want to add money yourself? You have to think about it!"
Master Qin no longer listened to the advice. He also had his own stocks that the prince entrusted to him. He sold them all at one price, more than 15,000 shares. A good stock transaction left him in a state of shock. The water is cold, and it is as tragic as you want!
Strangely enough, Yang Zhi really has inside information! The next day, the stock price turned around and went down again, and it didn't even go up to 1.6 yuan!
Master Qin actually managed to cash out a high position, and he made a profit!
The price changed day by day, from one dollar and fifty-eight cents to one dollar and twenty-seven cents. It was already July 1st. Mr. Qin kept Yang Zhi's instructions in mind and did not dare to neglect to buy in at this price and save all his wealth. It all went in!
"The prince's money, as well as the mortgaged property, total sixty thousand taels! I have bet it all, and I will see what will happen tomorrow!"
Mr. Qin touched the Hedinghong in his pocket. This was a prescription he asked someone to get from the palace doctor. It was said that eating it would lead to a painless death.
"Hey... if I lose this one, my life will also be taken care of!"
The joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people are actually played in the hands of big shots. The stock trend of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway has long been determined.
On June 1st, at the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, the most critical and largest two-way steel frame railway bridge will be completed.
The Ministry of Revenue had already sent officials to follow the whole process, and the palace even sent eunuchs to watch. As soon as the last rivet was connected, the good news would be telegraphed to Emperor Tongzhi immediately.
The people in the surrounding villages seemed to know that today was an important day. Countless people came here to watch after lunch. In fact, the whole day's spectators were watching from a distance on the canal embankment.
Chinese and British engineers were nervously taking measurements while workers climbed up and down to hoist the steel structures one by one!
There was no electric welding technology in this era. All steel structures were connected by rivets and screws. Screws were not as strong, so rivets were the most widely used!
The coke oven whirred, and the blower blew air into it desperately. The workers used long pliers to put the forged rivets in and they burned red.
The rivets must be inserted into the connecting holes when they are not cold, and the semicircular mold should be placed on the emerging side, and then the worker will use a sledgehammer to smash them hard!
The rivets on the red-hot side were smashed out of shape, and then the other side of the rivets was flattened and rounded due to the soft nature of high-temperature steel.
Only after it is completely cooled can the rivet be strong enough, which means it will last forever!
"Rivet No. 65889...inserted...smashed!"
The last rivet of the steel bridge finally burned red, and the officials present could no longer sit still and rushed forward one after another!
This rivet will be used on the highest arch of the steel bridge. As long as this rivet is knocked in, it will prove that the final technical work of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway has been completed!
After that, there is paving stones, clearing the trees and weeds on both sides of the road, etc. These unskilled tasks can be done by the people around the Qing Dynasty!
