At this time, Europe.
Ling Chen decided to use the method of issuing stocks to defraud the senior generals of the Holy Crusaders and the nobles in their jurisdiction.
Issuing stocks, this novel method of raising funds, was invented by Liu Zheng.
He once used this method to quickly complete the original accumulation of funds.
If the company's performance is stable, this method of raising funds will be the fastest and most stable way.
Moreover, the equity system can also allow wealthy businessmen to get more benefits every year.
But one thing needs to be said: the price of the stock may be artificially high.
Liu Zheng once mentioned a situation.
If the price of this stock is raised maliciously, in fact the company is not worth more than this price at all.
So if someone sells a large amount of this company at this time, which has a very rapid price increase, but is actually on the verge of bankruptcy.
And tell them that this stock will definitely make money.
In fact, this stock has proven this before.
So will anyone take over these stocks?
And if these people who take over the deal are not aware of the operating conditions of this company.
The day this company is hit by a storm will be the day they lose money and become destitute.
Ling Chen originally wanted to do this himself.
However, his sensitive status is not suitable for this.
Now under the jurisdiction of the Holy Crusaders, he is closely monitored and his movements are greatly restricted.
Fortunately, he found someone who was very suitable for the job.
Blinken.
His eloquence makes him suitable for this job.
According to his promise, Ling Chen provided him with all help and helped him send those children who had suffered war hardships to Berlin.
After Blinken made sure the kids were actually safe and the environment was nice.
He returned to Hanover and served Ling Chen.
Ling Chen got rid of Frederick II and created a noble status for Brink, a noble status inherited from Rome.
He held sacred lands and was able to attend the highest councils of the Holy Roman Empire.
He is from the city of Rome.
This status allows Blinken to go wherever a person with money and status can go.
Ling Chen arranged a dance for him.
The ball was held at the most prestigious Saint-Lo Hotel in the Holy Crusaders area.
Those who can attend this dance are either rich or noble.
Blinken successfully attracted everyone's attention with his eloquence and identity.
For these veteran nobles, Blinken's status is too noble. In this land, being able to attend the Supreme Council of the Holy Roman Empire has proven their nobility.
Moreover, Blinken is from the city of Rome, the old capital of the Holy Roman Empire, where the Habsburg family, the richest and most powerful family in Europe, lives.
This made those European nobles respect him.
Of course, all this is not only based on his identity, but also on his generous spending style.
They had never seen a nobleman possess so much money.
So much so that it seems to be inexhaustible.
Even the tip he gave to the waiter was measured in silver coins.
After experiencing the industrial revolution, the assets of these old aristocrats shrank significantly.
They also joined the wave of the Industrial Revolution in an attempt to make a fortune.
But the reality is cruel.
The backward thinking of these people caused them to fail to catch up with the industrial revolution at all, and some people were even on the verge of bankruptcy in these investments.
Now there is war again.
This caused their originally compact assets to shrink significantly, which was simply unacceptable to them.
The poor nobles couldn't help but become curious when they saw Blinken spending so much money.
It was the first time that these nobles had such a desire for money.
What on earth did he, a long-established nobleman, do to enable him to obtain such a massive amount of wealth?
Inquiries about these nobles.
Each time, Blinken asked vaguely, but inadvertently revealed that he was holding a mine from the Americas.
Once this vein is mined, he will gain massive wealth.
After going back and forth, three times and four times.
These old nobles were very sure of the news.
Although America is far away, they are still people who can get the news.
With their perfect cooperation.
He imagined that this nobleman from Rome had a mine that could make people rich.
And this vein is likely to be a gold mine.
Gold mine!
Gold is a hard currency in every era, and its value has never fallen.
Especially now during the war, the price of gold is even more terrifying.
Soon at a dance, Blinken once again casually revealed that he had established a company using the mining rights of this mine.
He cannot handle gold mining alone and needs to find some new partners.
He will sell part of the company's shares as the most basic start-up capital.
He could guarantee them that the money he invested would get a 7% return in one month.
After hearing the news, these nobles were all excited.
They know what Blinken means.
That is to sell the company's equity as stocks to complete the accumulation of original capital.
This is a thing invented by Long Yanren. This can bring back a lot of funds, but every once in a while, the company will pay corresponding dividends.
For them, this is a sure-profit deal.
As long as they invest money, they can get their money back quickly.
And it’s a 7% return in one month.
This is higher than the average stock return, nearly double!
You would be a fool not to invest money!
Those nobles had already verified the authenticity of this matter, and everything the man named Blinken said was true.
But now these nobles don't have much money on hand.
It’s not that they think such a business is unprofitable.
Just out of caution, these nobles invested some money.
There are about one hundred thousand gold coins.
This amount of money is no longer a small amount. After receiving the money, Blinken quickly reported the good news to Ling Chen.
He didn't expect that he could make so much money just once.
Until now, Blinken believes everything is true.
These nobles would receive the seven percent return he promised.
Ling Chen is really a businessman.
But with so much money invested, he, a person who had only known Ling Chen for a short time, was not suitable to continue to manage it.
For the sake of his own business, Ling Chen would definitely hand over this matter to someone he could trust.
But Lingchen, after receiving such news, had only a simple reply to Blinken.
"Good job, keep working and remember to pay them interest."
Just such a simple sentence did not mean what Blinken had in mind.
There will be others who will take his job and nothing.
