The person who came had no official characteristics, but looked like a businessman. He was followed by several followers. He walked very upright and had wisdom in his eyes.
That's what this person said. He walked over, glanced at everyone, and then smiled and handed over to Li Jinong: "Shopkeeper, I'm going down to Cheng Fang, and I'm willing to invest a thousand gold."
"A thousand gold coins?" Everyone cheered.
How dare you invest a thousand dollars in a project that no one recognizes? This person has a lot of money and is stupid! Don’t you see that everyone is not even willing to invest ten gold? It’s not that they don’t have money, it’s that there is no predictability at all. If they lose, they will lose everything. They don’t make friends.
The announcement clearly states that this project does not guarantee a return, and involves certain risks. The risk means that you may suffer a loss, or even a big loss.
"Brother, don't you think about it seriously?" Mr. Zhen stepped forward and bowed, "I heard that this project costs a lot of money. If the train cannot be built, or if there is no return after building it, it will be a big loss. After all, it is a big loss. Thousands of gold is not a small amount."
Cheng Fang did not respond, but nodded slightly and walked towards Li Jinong.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhen felt like he wasn't being taken seriously. He immediately threw up his sleeves in anger and sighed that this person didn't know a good heart.
"Shopkeeper, here is a thousand gold coins, please take it."
Cheng Fang waved his hand, and someone carried several boxes over. They were heavy, which showed that they were heavy.
Li Jinong was really surprised that he was the first one to invest such a huge amount of money. It was unexpected! But I’m not surprised. My nephew said that a knowledgeable person will sacrifice his wealth. This should be the case for this person!
"Very good, very good, I will remember it and give you one hundred shares."
So he ordered his attendants to record and issue the vouchers.
This was a huge investment. Even if everyone onlookers had some wealth, they couldn't spend so much, so it suddenly became noisy.
Cheng Fang was not well-known in Xianyang, and had never even heard of his name, but he dared to invest so boldly, which showed that he was optimistic about the train project. However, they did not dare to invest even ten gold. Suddenly, some people were comparing , showing eagerness to try.
But more people laughed at Cheng Fang for being stupid. Wasn't this a waste of money?
Although Cheng Fang made a good start, no one could follow him. But the next moment, he heard a hurried voice: "I will also vote, five hundred gold."
The person who made the sound squeezed through the crowd and hurried over, followed by some followers, needless to say, they were the ones carrying the money.
Everyone looked over unexpectedly and found that this person looked familiar, and some of them recognized him.
"Isn't this Gao Fuchang of the Gao family? The Gao family has always been smart, how could they do such a stupid thing and pay back five hundred gold, which must be all their wealth!"
"It is not advisable to gamble all your wealth on unknown things!"
"Yes! Although the Gao family has made some money during this period, it cannot be wasted like this."
The comments in the crowd became more and more outrageous.
Gao Fuchang also swept them away like Cheng Fang and ignored them.
But he cursed in his heart and said to himself: They don't know anything. How could the things that my uncle likes be wrong, even though his uncle has not made any outstanding achievements in making money.
Of course, he also agreed with his uncle in doing so. He kept in mind what he learned in economic theory, and opportunities wait for no one.
Obviously, this is an opportunity. If you seize it, you may be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
He is not as outstanding as his cousin. He neither has an official position nor can he be favored by giants like Chang'an Township. He has always done nothing. For this reason, he is often treated harshly by his father, but this time his uncle unexpectedly took a fancy to him.
He must seize this opportunity and make everyone who dislikes him look at him differently.
"It turns out you are from the high government, welcome!" Hearing that it was another huge sum of money, Li Jinong laughed and quickly handed over his hand, and immediately ordered someone to collect the money and record it.
"That's it. I hope Mr. Li doesn't dislike it. Will my nephew continue to make a fortune with you in the future?"
Gao Fuchang also understood the ways of the world, and responded with a smile on his face, making others stare blankly, as if they were seeing a shill.
With the two of them making a good start, some people could no longer hold back and invested one after another, but only ten gold, dozens of gold, and very few hundreds of gold.
Only some people looked on with cold eyes and laughed at him from time to time, especially Mr. Zhen.
Everyone who wanted to vote did so, and the spectators naturally did not expect them to be able to vote. Li Jinong was still smiling and ordered people to count. In half a day, he collected two thousand gold, which was beyond expectation.
Looking at the number of investors, it was less than twenty, which was beyond expectations. However, this was a disappointing excess. I thought there would be dozens of people, but it was just a little bit. I really underestimated the caution of these people.
However, Li Jinong did not give up. Instead, he stood on a high platform, glanced at everyone strangely, and said loudly: "Are there still investors?"
He repeated this twice. When no one responded, he smiled again and said, "Don't you regret it?"
regret?
The non-voters sneered. Will they regret it? What do you regret? This is something that is unpredictable. They are glad that they did not invest, but those who did invest will regret it.
But Li Jinong's next words made their hearts bulge.
"Our Chang'an Township Commercial Bank is about to launch a financing plan, and the investor has been recognized as the winning bidder."
