Yang Zhi was not in the city at the moment, but in Guangtong Temple leading to Xishan outside the city. This was the secret stronghold of Fifth Master Yi Pei and the command post behind the chaos in the capital.
Li Tuo, Yang Zhi, Fifth Master Yi Pei and the direct bodyguards were secretly discussing in a side room.
"In this stock market crash, when the lowest price was 1.5 yuan, we went to Jiangnan to dismantle 300,000 shares for Mr. Wu, making a profit of 1.5 million..."
"With this 1.5 million, I bought Chinese steel, cement, shipping and other stocks... Now that Xiao Letian's concession area is undergoing construction, these stocks will definitely rise sharply, and they are very safe and secure!"
Yang Zhi was reporting the accounts of this period to Fifth Master Yi Pei. During the stock market crash, he ostensibly worked for Prince Zheng and Prince Li, but the one who really made the big money was Prince Dun Yi Pei who he had taken refuge in!
Yi Pei's career is also a bottomless pit of money. If he wants to establish his prestige in Xishan Camp, it is not enough to rely on appointments from the imperial court!
Yi Pei must have money to finance it. Supporting his own generals is never a cheap thing!
Listening to Yang Zhi's return, Yi Pei let out a long sigh, "Hey... I'm just a useless prince! I talk about being a knight king to the outside world, but in fact, I don't have any way to make money, nor do I have my own roots!"
"In the final analysis, I don't have my own base camp, I don't have my own career foundation..."
As soon as Li Tuo heard the negative emotions in the fifth master's words, he quickly enlightened him, "Why is the fifth master like this? With your previous foundation, it is already commendable that you can develop to this stage!"
"To be disrespectful, among the dragons and grandsons, you, the fifth master, have the least resources. If you had half of the resources of Prince Gong back then, you would have soared to the sky today!"
The heart of Prince Dun is actually his Emperor Daoguang. Let’s not talk about how he handles government affairs. Anyway, he loses everything when it comes to educating his children!
Even if he kicked a son to death personally, he still kicked his lower body to death. He adopted a biological son out with no regard for the child's feelings!
When choosing a prince, you must consider filial piety. It is still the kind of filial piety performance that is like acting. Those who are truly capable will not reuse him and even make Guizi Liu a prince in his will.
As a result, this canonization protected Guiziliu and made the two brothers suspicious of each other for a lifetime. Guiziliu was frozen for almost the entire Xianfeng period!
This is an extremely failed father. He has single-handedly caused many tragedies in the family, and this Prince Dun is the poor child who was kicked out of his home at a very young age!
Think about it, if you don't even want to give him a little bit of family warmth, how can you talk about political resources? This Prince Dun has a very embarrassing position in history.
Cixi, who was of high status, didn't dare to mess with her, but if he didn't have enough status to draw out even a little faction in the court, he wouldn't have any influence in the officialdom!
In today's world, because Xiao Letian disrupted the Manchu power pond, Prince Dun had a little possibility of fishing in troubled waters, but his foundation was still too shallow.
Just the word "money" gave him a headache!
"I... am a loser compared to those brothers! The sixth and seventh brothers are better at running a business than me. How can I be so poor!"
Li Tuo smiled and said, "My good prince! How many resources do Prince Gong and Prince Chun hold in their hands? How many of their slaves have been released?"
"To put it bluntly, in many provinces of the Qing Dynasty, taxes have to be paid separately to them!"
"Your Majesty, you didn't get any rights during the Daoguang and Xianfeng years, and you couldn't express your power. It's not your fault that you can't make money!"
"Don't worry, my subordinates will find a solution for the prince...and it may not be a bad thing for you to be poor in the future!"
Li Tuo smiled and said, "My lord, think about it, the world will be in chaos in the future, and a leader will be needed... By then, won't your history of suffering in the first half of your life be the capital that others will envy to death?"
"At that time, we will publicize you to the outside world and portray you as a self-made king of hard work, a strong prince who can rise in adversity... Wouldn't that be more able to win over the morale of the military and the people?"
"Huh? Haha...hahaha...you, that mouth is so powerful!" The fifth master's knot in his heart was temporarily untied.
Yi Pei was in a much better mood. He turned to look at Yang Zhixiao and asked, "God of Wealth! Now the stock price of the capital is inverted with that of Jiangnan. Are you going to split the stocks from Jiangnan and sell them in the capital?"
"Ah? Ah..." Yang Zhi was a little dazed. He woke up when he heard the prince calling him, "Hey... prince, don't think about it. This method of making money by dismantling stocks can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime!" "
"In the future, our focus on making money in the stock market will still be on Jiangnan... In addition, in the capital, I have found a new industry for the prince!"
"Brother Li Tuo and I have repaid the money together and raised three million taels of silver. Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Lord Long Live to issue an order! Establish our arms bureau of the Qing Dynasty in the Xishan Camp!"
"We produce foreign guns and cannons ourselves! Use the Jingshi Iron Works and the Machinery Bureau to produce steel and castings for us!"
"We invest in the arms business and buy our own equipment. This is a hugely profitable business!"
"Okay! This is a good idea..." Yi Pei suddenly became happy. "His Majesty should agree to this matter. The arms business cannot be lost!"
"But what does this have to do with us splitting stocks? Why can't we think about it?"
Yang Zhi had a bitter look on his face, "My good prince... do you know about Jiangnan's tricks? The stocks we got from Jiangnan can no longer be dismantled now!"
ah! Both Master Wu and Li Tuo exclaimed.
Yang Zhi is right. The fundamental reason for stock splitting is the price difference. The bigger the price difference is because of the distance, which is the source of profits from back-and-forth splitting.
If Jingshi’s stock price hits 1.5 yuan and Jiangnan 5 yuan, then split the stocks from Jingshi and send them to Jiangnan to sell them and make a profit!
At the moment, the stock price in Jiangnan is about 5 yuan, but in Jingshi it is 7 yuan. So logically, we should dismantle the stocks from Jiangnan and sell them in Jingshi to make a profit!
But no one thought that this game could no longer be played!
Jingshi's stocks were split and sent to Jiangnan, and Jiangnan wanted as much as it had. And when you go back and want to borrow stocks from Jiangnan and sell them in the capital, the faces of these Jiangnan speculators suddenly change!
The Beijing-Tianjin Railway stocks remaining in the Jiangnan market can no longer be collected and cannot be dismantled!
Moreover, the stock has fallen into the hands of retail investors. Jiangnan investors are optimistic about railway stocks, so they are determined not to sell them, and no one will dismantle them!
"Hey... Your Majesty! Do you understand? The Chinese are trying to seize the controlling stake in the Beijing-Tianjin Railway!"
"Now the capital's stock market has reached the point where you can't get stocks even if you have money! The Chinese are forcing us to accept the stock issuance from Jiangnan!"
"During this period, I have to avoid Prince Zheng and the others! Those crazy dogs will definitely come to trouble me!"
