"Hey, you bought stocks too? Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Eagle became interested upon hearing this.
The rickshaw driver was also a chatterbox and said with a smile, "Afraid, why not! But compared to living in poverty all your life, this fear is nothing!"
"My family was poor since I was a child, and I never read a book. When my cousin was studying, he just knew a few characters and could write his name!"
"There is no land to farm at home, and I can't do any decent work without knowing how to read! Pulling a rickshaw is a bit harder, but I can still make ends meet, but it's just a living!"
"Based on my sweet words, I pulled carts for those officials and senior men in the capital. If I served them well, I would give them more rewards. Then I would have some spare money to buy stocks!"
"Isn't the picture just a hope? Isn't it just a breath of life? A little hope will make the hard days easier!"
"What are you afraid of if you pay all your money? If you pay all your money, you will be a poor man. If you don't pay all your money, you will be a pauper. Why are the uncles in the capital having mud on their feet... What if it happens? What if there is smoke from my ancestral grave and I make a little money? Marry a wife and have children..."
"Haha, I will definitely let my children study in the future and learn Western learning from other Chinese people. It is really profitable and decent!"
"I don't have much knowledge, but I feel that for a person like the head of state, who is like a human being, he can't create this stock market just to harm people, right?"
"Whether you belong to a casino or not depends on you..."
Eagle didn't expect that a rickshaw puller in the capital would have such an optimistic and open-minded view, so he couldn't help but secretly provoke Thumbs up. By this time, the rickshaw had already arrived at Zhushikou, and turning north was Dashilar.
It was rainy in the summer, but at this time, a cold wind suddenly blew in from the northwest. Then the sun was not covered, and raindrops began to fall sparsely from the sky.
The driver who was pulling the cart quickly put up the rainproof canopy above the guests' heads to protect the eagle from the rain. Then he put on his raincoat and pulled the cart and sped forward.
"You should rest for a while, find a roadside store and wait until the rain stops before leaving..."
"It's okay. The exchange is right ahead. Don't the guests want to take a look? Let's rest there and wait for the rain to stop before we continue on our way!"
The raindrops pattered on the awning. The eagle looked at the familiar fence and pulled up his hat for fear that his whereabouts would be spied on.
When we arrived at the alley of the exchange, the rain started to fall heavily. The rickshaw was parked under the shed outside the teahouse. The eagle was sitting in the car without getting out of the car. The driver hid under the eaves and wiped his face with a towel. rainwater!
You don’t know it by looking at it, but after looking at the next jump, the Eagle realizes how popular the Jingshi Exchange has become due to this hype!
The gambling nature of the bannermen and the common people in the capital has been completely aroused. The stock market has become a cash machine in their eyes, and the exchange is surrounded by three floors inside and three outside!
Even the rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of these people. The hall was crowded, and there were people outside discussing the stock trend under the rainproof shed!
As for the teahouses and restaurants opposite the exchange, they have long become the exchange's VIP seats. From the opening to the closing, each seat costs one silver dollar for the seat fee alone!
Don’t think it’s expensive, people are rushing to get it, and many bannermen are offering monthly passes!
There are also many small traders who specialize in the business of stock investors, including those who sell newspapers, those who carry burdens and sell fast food, and even the pharmacy has a wandering doctor who treats here!
There's nothing I can do, the stock price fluctuates so much, people who can't stand the excitement fall ill every day, and they need a doctor to treat them!
The rain was falling from the sky, and those bannermen were hiding in the rainproof sheds and talking loudly about the future development prospects of the railway, the target price of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, what is the pressure, what is the support, and how much money the society has to rush in to take over!
Good guys, everyone was vomiting and frothing, even if the rain wet their clothes, they all forgot about it!
Of course, the most talked about are all kinds of gossip. Banner people love to spread such gossip, otherwise there is no secret in the capital!
They were even able to find out what position Long Live Lord used to sleep with the palace maid last night.
This is a group of gossip men, and they have encountered the stock market where it is easiest to spread gossip. Now they are all excited. They can live as fulfilling a life as they want!
"You don't understand at all. In the future, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway will be built southward and outside the customs. The stock price of the expansion in the future will be sky-high!"
"Are you afraid of four yuan? Look at your little potential, you are all cowards!"
"Did you hear that? Several big iron hat kings joined forces to try to destroy the market? In the end, the good news about the opening of traffic today was defeated, and they all came to nothing!"
"I have new news about Mr. Fengxiu. He met with several Mongolian princes yesterday... I think the railway must be built in Mongolia in the future!"
"Impossible, I must go to the south of the Yangtze River to cultivate..."
"Beyond the customs, we must also repair outside the customs..."
The eagle looked at this group of gamblers and couldn't help crying or laughing. He looked up at the sky and found that the dark clouds had gradually drifted away. The rickshaw driver came over and said with a smile, "Master, are you still resting? Let's go now..."
"Let's go... there's nothing to see anymore, go to Flower Alley!"
The rickshaw trampled through the stagnant water and left the exchange. The driver was still chatty along the way, but the eagle just listened quietly. It didn't stop until it reached Huahua Hutong, the old house of Mr. Fuqing's family.
Eagle took out two silver coins and threw them over. The coachman was shocked and said, "Oh... Master, why did you use so many! You are..."
"Thank you! Listening to you talk is very relaxing..."
"Oh, thank you, sir, for the reward!" The coachman almost knelt down.
Eagle walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly turned back and looked at him, "Young man, you and I are very attached to each other. I have a message for you. Believe it or not, it's your business!"
"Since you want to trade in stocks, just remember, you can trade in Beijing-Tianjin Railway stocks at will, no matter how high it goes..."
"But..." Eagle looked hesitant.
But he quickly spoke up, "But after the Qing Dynasty's second railway stock is issued, you have to remember to live a good life with all your money and don't speculate anymore!"
"Come on, it's up to you whether you believe it or not, that's all!"
The eagle knocked on the door and walked into the house, leaving a stupid coachman holding two silver dollars and wondering what was going on. He chewed on that sentence for a long time, but he still didn't understand it!
Just when he was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in the old house: "Stop! Tell me your job number and car number!"
The coachman didn't know what was going on, so the man whispered, "Do you know whose house this is? I don't know..."
"Do you know who owns the rickshaw business in Qing Dynasty?"
"I know! Everyone in the capital knows about the property of the famous Mr. Qing Sanye's family!" the coachman replied quickly.
"It's good to know. This is the third master's old house. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the things you came here to see off the guests today... If you dare to leak it, you will never want to eat this bowl of rice again in your life!"
"Oh... I don't dare. Don't worry, uncle. I don't dare to kill the little one. I ran all day today and didn't pick up any guests. I haven't seen anyone!"
