Yang Zhi hid. Ever since he failed in the battle with Fan Big Head, Yang Zhi disappeared out of thin air! It was common for this person to disappear from the court, and neither the emperor nor the officials were surprised.
Originally, when Yang Zhi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court gave him the right to work freely without going to court. The reason was that he was afraid of assassination by the Chinese. Therefore, the governor of the central bank of the Qing Dynasty, the powerful god of wealth with the power to mint coins, did not work at all. I didn't even bother to attend a big court meeting.
Most of the time, I would convey news to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and I would enter the palace on the spur of the moment without any plan. Everyone has become accustomed to it over the years!
Jingshi's stock market stood firm at seven yuan, but the transactions in the next few days became unusually stable. The trading volume shrank significantly because big bankers such as Yang Zhi stopped taking action, and Fan Biao's capital became the main control of the market!
To Fan Biao, these selling orders from retail investors were nothing more than drizzle, and he could handle them all, and also pull a short-term rise, buy some shares for short-term purposes, and earn some pocket money.
Basically, the stock price in this market fluctuates between 6.5 yuan and 7.5 yuan. Fan Biao's control is very stable!
At first, these banner people didn't feel anything. They felt that the stock price of more than 7 yuan was high enough. They had to digest it after eating!
But three days later, an ordinary report from the Qing Times ignited people's enthusiasm!
The Qing Times has now become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not only Han scholars and businessmen must read it every day, but gradually many banner people with resistance have also developed the habit of reading the newspaper.
There is no other reason. This newspaper is really good-looking. In that boring era, it was really a great thing to have a newspaper to introduce you to some new news every day.
The point is, with a newspaper, you have a lot more to talk about when you brag! Banner people love teahouses and chatting, especially being the center of attention when chatting.
But this focus is not so easy, you need to have comprehensive information!
The daughter-in-law of Wang Yushi's family broke her shoes. People have been talking about this big news for a long time. If you don't know about it, how can you do it?
The first batch of steel will be produced by the Jingshi Iron Works in mid-August. Newspapers have already reported this news. Are you still sleeping in?
In the capital, if you are not well-informed, it means that you have no connections. It does not matter. You are very far away from power. This kind of person will be ostracized!
Today's capital, especially the bannermen, unless they are really poor and can't open the pot, as long as they have two taels of rice to eat, ordering newspapers is absolutely indispensable!
Just after that earth-shattering stock market war, the Qing Times published an in-depth report on the operation of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, and this report suddenly solved the confusion among many bannermen.
Is the Beijing-Tianjin Railway profitable? This question is simply too childish. If the railway does not make money, then how can Westerners invest desperately?
The Beijing-Tianjin Railway currently has fourteen trains a day and seven trains to each other. Each train can carry 700 passengers. If station tickets are included, one train can carry more than a thousand passengers.
Businessmen are active in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the people are relatively affluent and have high demand for travel. There is no problem with more than 10,000 tourists a day!
A ticket from Beijing to Tianjin in the ordinary carriage is one yuan and five silver dollars, while the ticket in the VIP carriage is only five yuan!
On average, the income from passenger transport alone is more than 15,000 silver dollars a day, which is still the lowest. If calculated on a monthly basis, the income from passenger transport alone is less than 500,000 silver dollars per month!
The income from freight is even higher, especially fresh goods. People in the capital and Tianjin are greedy. Fresh seafood from the Bohai Bay, melons, fruits, pears, and meat, poultry, and eggs all year round are all transported by railways. !
In addition, it is the lifeblood of industry. Various ores, coals and industrial products all need railway transportation. Not to mention the large parts transported by Guangtanggu Industrial Zone to the capital, which cannot be pulled by oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages. , all need railways!
The income from freight transportation can reach more than 1.5 million every month, and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway alone can earn more than 2 million silver dollars this month!
Isn’t it incredible to think about it? But this is a good business. Ordinary people are limited by their vision and can only see the one-third of an acre of land under their feet. Who knows that there are actually many ways to make money in the world.
For example, half a month ago, Tanggu Industrial Zone processed the assembly parts of the large gantry crane for Jingshi Iron Works, which actually filled eleven carriages, and the railway freight alone cost 200,000 silver dollars!
What? Do you think it’s expensive? Haha... If you find it too expensive, why don't you use the railway? You can pick it up with a pole, push it with a wheelbarrow, or find 10,000 cows to pull it back and forth!
What's going on? Can't do it yourself? Do you still have to use our railway? That's easy to say. Do you want to pay for the shipping fee of 210,000 silver dollars?
Still too expensive? Two hundred and twenty thousand, you have to think carefully, if you hesitate, I will raise the price!
Huge profits! This is the real huge profit. After reading the newspaper, the bannermen in the capital suddenly realized, "Ah! It turns out...it turns out that the railway is a dominating monopoly business!"
"That's right. If those thousands of tons of iron and tens of thousands of tons of coal are transported by manpower... let alone whether they can be transported, how much will it cost just to feed the people?"
"The railway transports things very quickly and can haul a lot of goods, and you have no choice. You can only go and beg people with a smile on your face. Then don't you just give them as much as they ask for?"
"Two million a month, that's 22 million a year? No, no, no... we need more flights during holidays. People travel more and goods are transported more!"
"It seems easy to earn 20 to 30 million yuan this year!"
Of course it was very easy. In the end, the Qing Times simply told the truth to these banner people!
"Railway is the lifeblood project of Western countries! However, in the early stages of investment, most of the various statements show losses!"
"Why is this? In fact, the reason is very simple. It is that those Western businessmen saw that the railway was very profitable, so they continued to build the railway after making money!"
"Moreover, businessmen are also competing, competing to build railways... For example, in the United States, they are working hard to build railways at this time. Several railway companies are competing to see who can build more railways faster!"
"The same is true in Europe. Prussia and Germany are working hard to pave the way. In order to increase the speed, these capitalists are desperately borrowing money from the market to build roads!"
"Because the railway is now an early-stage investment business, the profits have been swallowed up by the balance sheet. To an outsider, at a glance, it means that it is losing money or not making any money at all!"
"However, this is the insight of short-sighted people! People who really understand know that once the railway network is formed, the initial investment will stop!"
"Then it will open up a big business that will never go bankrupt for ten thousand years, a big business that will feed and clothe our children and grandchildren sitting at home for generations to come!"
“Without investment, all that’s left is profits, and the profits will eventually be so great that you can’t even imagine!”
