"Everyone."
Du Ruhui's words were extremely kind, "Zhuang Zhuang Li once said that building the railway is a matter of benefit to the country and the people. From now on, the natural chasm will become a road. All investors are good people."
As soon as these words came out, the wealthy family was not proud. On the contrary, someone said in a strange way, "We have invested so much wealth, but we are not doing good things for the villagers."
Du Ruhui, who raised his eyebrows, still smiled, "This is natural. Your investment will naturally be rewarded. Once the railway line is opened, the money will be collected back like a flowing stream."
The rich people are not stupid. They were vaguely aware of the problem here, and someone immediately asked, "Can all the repairs be completed with 600,000 strings?"
"I've seen the progress, and I think it's fine."
"Then if that doesn't work, we'll have to ask Mr. Du for an explanation."
"It's natural."
Du Ruhui agreed simply, but what he was thinking about was, "Once I get the money, I will immediately jump to another yamen. By then, you won't even be able to get in!" '
After receiving Du Ruhui's guarantee, everyone felt that Du Ruhui still had face and credibility, and 600,000 yuan seemed to be a lot, but the Guandong Consortium was huge, so it was not that exaggerated if it was shared equally among everyone.
With reluctance and anger, he finally scraped together the money.
However, no one expected that just over a month later, they would receive another notice saying that the railway they invested in had another problem.
The problem remains the same. As construction becomes more difficult, costs continue to rise, requiring continued investment.
Representatives of the local wealthy families stationed in Chang'an City went to Du Ruhui with full of anger, but unexpectedly they couldn't even get in.
The steward of the Du Mansion made it very clear that the construction company was responsible for the construction, the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of the payment, and the Ministry of Works was supervising the progress. My father-in-law has left his position as Minister of Household Affairs and is recuperating at home. It has nothing to do with my father-in-law. You can go find the person in charge. '
Isn’t this a rogue act?
Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. They can't rush into Du's house and arrest people to demand explanations.
As for impeachment, the emperor ignored it at all.
They couldn't go to Lijiazhuang either. Li Yunze never gave them a good look, even if they wanted to buy goods from Lijiazhuang.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry... I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry left Chang'an City early and went to supervise the development of the railway line.
Everyone had no choice but to go to Daiwei, the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, to ask for an explanation.
Li Yunze brought huge technological improvements to Datang, which naturally included medical-related technologies.
The emperor supported it, Li Yunze provided funds and technology, and Sun Simiao came forward to build a special medical center to provide more advanced medical assistance to everyone from top to bottom.
Thanks to this, Dai Wei, who was supposed to die of illness last year, was still able to take the blame this year.
Dai Wei, who looked not very good-looking, still received the angry angel investors at the household department.
"Everyone." After coughing a few times, Dai Wei went straight to the topic, "The railway has almost reached Chengdu. It would be a pity to give up at this time. You only need to invest another 1.2 million to build it..."
"fart!
"
All the angels were angry, "You think we are fools. Last time we said that we only need 600,000 guan to complete the cultivation, and now we need 1.2 million guan. You, the imperial officials, have no credibility at all!"
Faced with the saliva coming towards his face, Dai Wei wiped his face slowly and asked indifferently, "Who said that?"
"The words of Du Gong!"
"Then go find Mr. Du." Dai Wei, who didn't look very well, simply spread his hands and said, "It's not what I said."
The wealthy family is not a fool, so they naturally understand what this means.
Everyone said angrily, "I can't wait any longer and will refund my money!"
"I don't want money, and I won't give you my life." Dai Wei said very calmly, "All the money has been invested. If you don't want to invest, you can go and remove the rails yourself. By the way, those tables, chairs and benches bought by the construction company. , you can also take them all away.”
Everyone is naturally angry.
Tables, chairs and benches are useless, and no one wants to burn coal. Nowadays, coal is being burned everywhere in the world.
As for the rails, they were worth some silver, but they were so heavy that it would take a lot of energy and resources to dismantle them.
And if the construction company doesn't accept it, no one else in the world will want it, and they can only melt it and build other objects... They have found someone to calculate it before, and the cost is almost as much as the price of investing in the railway, so they can properly contribute their efforts. Unpleasant.
Seeing that everyone was quieter, Dai Wei slowly said, "Everyone, it's only 900,000 yuan. What does it mean to you? The profit you made on that stock is more than a few 900,000 yuan." Get it done."
It's true to say that, you can make a lot of money in the stock market.
But the problem is that the stock has been rising, and no one is willing to sell it now. If you want to buy it back after selling it, you will have to pay a higher price.
Everyone was talking and looking very bad.
After all, millions of coins have been invested. If you give up at this time, you will only be able to look back at hundreds of thousands of coins. The sunk cost is too great.
After some consultations, the head of the Fan Yang Lu family came forward and asked, "Dai Gong, I would like to ask, is it feasible to open the railway only to Chengdu?"
"This is impossible." Dai Wei shook his head repeatedly and took out a thick piece of paper. "It is clearly written on it that it must be completely completed before it can be completed and opened to traffic. Tolls can be collected. People cannot stand without faith. You have to say Integrity."
'Damn it, you still have the nerve to say you are honest! '
Everyone is willing to withdraw their capital. If they had invested their money in the stock market early, they would have doubled their profits by now. How could they not give up when they are at such a disadvantage?
Having been tricked once, the wealthy family naturally became more cautious, and this time the request was very straightforward and straightforward.
"Please be your guarantor, Mr. Dai."
Dai Wei did not hesitate. Not only did he swear on the spot that this would definitely be the last round of investment, he also wrote a written contract, guaranteeing his life and face.
After getting this guarantee letter, the wealthy family reluctantly began to collect wealth.
Most of the wealth of each family has been invested in the stock market. If it is used now, in addition to the wealth buried deep under the pig pen, it can only be the acres of land in hand.
Qianzhuang banks, which have gradually been established in various places, have launched a land leasing business. Each family can lease their land to the bank on a long-term contract in exchange for funds.
Of course, the price of land is extremely cheap now, and renting it out only costs tens of pennies a year.
Fortunately, there are too many acres of land in the hands of wealthy families. The advantage in quantity and the extension of the lease period can still be exchanged for considerable wealth.
These assets are basically invested in the stock market.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, sometimes you can make more money in a day in the stock market than by digging in the soil for more than ten years.
Everyone believed Dai Wei's guarantee and got a letter of guarantee signed by him with his own handwriting and seal. After returning, they sent messengers to retrieve the capital accumulated over hundreds of years from the cellar and leased the land to banks in exchange for property.
Many people even secretly took more of their guaranteed capital and sold more acres of land in exchange for goods. The extra goods were basically thrown into the stock market.
In their words, wealth hidden underground is no different than rocks. The output of an acre of land in a year is not as good as the return of the stock market in a day. Of course, the more money you have to sell, the better, you can use it to buy stocks.
Youdaiwei has repeatedly promised that this is really the last round of financing, and all the angel investors can just wait to receive the money. If they want to invest again, I can take the money from my head.
The rich family believed his promise, gritted their teeth and invested another 1.2 million yuan in the railway.
In addition, there is a lot more money invested in the stock market than this. No matter what the sky-high prices are now, they are desperately snapping up all the stocks that can be seen, further boosting the enthusiasm of the stock market.
Just when everyone thought they could continue digging for gold in the never-ending mountain of gold, a shocking news came: Dai, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, died of stomach disease.
The wealthy families who heard the news were all dumbfounded.
Then as expected, they received an invitation from Du Ruhui, the new Minister of Household Affairs.
It cannot be said that he is new, it can only be said that he is back.
A few months later, Du Ruhui once again took up the post of Minister of Household Affairs.
When Du Ruhui said that additional investment was needed to build the railway to Shu, the room was quiet and everyone was silent.
"What's going on, everyone?"
Du Ruhui said with a smile, "The construction of the railway to Songzhou has already begun. At this time, we only need to make an additional investment..."
"Du Gong!"
Unable to hold it in any longer, the head of the Fan Yang Lu family simply said, "You promised before that you would not invest any more."
"Yes, this is indeed the case." Du Ruhui picked up the tea bowl calmly, "It's just that the tea has cooled after I left, so I will naturally have nothing to do with it after I leave office."
"Haha~~~"
There was a sneer in the room, "Du Gong is back now. Could it be that he doesn't recognize him?"
"It's not that I don't admit it, but that happened last time. I already knew the matter from Duke Dai. What else can I admit?"
Some of the younger ones couldn't hold their breath: "Dai said that the 1.2 million yuan last time was the last payment, and he even signed and pledged it to guarantee it!"
"There is such a thing." Du Ruhui nodded repeatedly. "I have also heard about this matter. However, it is recognized by Dai Gongxuan. What does it have to do with me? If you want to guarantee it, just go to Dai Gong."
After saying this, everyone rolled their eyes.
They already have the stomach, so how can they find him to get guarantees? They can't open the coffin and pretend to be dead.
The head of the Fanyang Lu family spoke unhurriedly, "Duke Du, there is no need to say anything else. We will never invest any more money."
They had already discussed it before they came here. If they continued to invest in this way, they would lose everything and not be able to fill this black hole.
Before, they sent people to the construction company to check the accounts. No problems could be found in the accounts, but the details were horrifying to look at.
The information obtained through insider information shows that the price of the rails purchased for the railway they invested in is more than twice that of the railway invested by the nobles!
Needless to say, other aspects are extremely expensive, from labor costs to daily expenses, etc.
Everyone knows this trick, it’s just for making money, no one seems to know how to do it.
Moreover, most of the things purchased were purchased from the property under Li Yunze's name. As soon as the two parties cooperated, the huge sum of money everyone had invested so hard was mysteriously lost.
If you still want to invest now, go ahead and dream!
They would rather drag the matter out until the court can't bear it anymore than give them any more money.
Seeing that everyone was in a state of despair, Du Ruhui also sighed lightly.
He simply got up and went to the back hall, and came out with others after a while.
Everyone knows the visitor, the famous God of Wealth, Li Yunze, the owner of the village.
"Everyone."
With a smile on his face, Li Yunze stepped forward and greeted, "I would like to ask you, why do you invest in railways?"
Why, of course it is to make money.
"Yes, the purpose of investing in railways is to make money." Li Yunze said with a smile, "Now there is a golden mountain in front of you, waiting for you to dig it."
Fan Yanglu's family members continued to sneer, "Could it be that Mr. Li is talking about the railway we invested in?"
"That's right."
Li Yunze chuckled, "As long as this railway can be built, it can be listed directly! Your investment can be converted into original shares. This is a golden mountain!"
