Infuriated by Zhen Baochen's words, he slapped the opponent's bare buttocks hard. "Bah!" The pain made Zhen Baochen almost jump, and his eye circles were red.
"I can really be ruthless. Just now, I loved her so much that I loved her so much. I said a lot of heartfelt words. I was so moved that I have turned against you now." Zhen Baochen covered her buttocks and pursed her lips. He pursed his lips and glanced at Feng Ziying, "Who else can I count on in the future?"
"That's enough, Bao Chen, I want to talk to you about business." Feng Ziying really couldn't let go of this woman.
She is smart, clever, and courageous, and her vision is much better than that of Wang Xifeng. If she wants to place a caring person in Jiangnan, she is really suitable.
"I'm listening, where do you plan to put me?" Zhen Baochen's eyes were flowing, "Yangzhou? Suzhou?"
"Yangzhou is more suitable. The stock exchange is located there. Aren't you very interested in these joint-stock companies? The joint-stock reform of Wusongkou Shipyard is about to start. I have also fought for an opportunity for you..."
Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Zhen Baochen's eyes flashed with strange light. Gulu suddenly turned over and sat on Feng Ziying. He held the corner of the brocade quilt with one hand to cover his chest and asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"
"When did I ever lie to you and deceive you?" Feng Ziying asked proudly.
Zhen Baochen took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said quietly: "Aren't you afraid of outsiders gossiping?"
"Who does this outsider refer to?" Feng Ziying asked back: "If it refers to people in the Feng family, there is no need to worry. Don't they know about Sister Feng's affairs? If it is someone from the court, then it doesn't matter. The shareholding system reform and The stock exchange itself must attract all the gentry and merchants who are willing to invest in shares, and officials are no exception. There are several Jiangnan gentry and merchants who have nothing to do with officials. I will also use their mouths to help publicize and let them Mobilize the families behind each and all the people we can influence to join in, and create the biggest momentum for stock trading as much as possible."
"Then my husband means that I can also participate in these stock investments and transactions on behalf of my husband?" Zhen Baochen bit his lip.
"It's up to you. If you want to help the Zhen family, that's fine. You can also represent me. Even if you want to bring me and the Zhen family together to invest, that's up to you. The key is what you think. In addition, there are still many uncertainties about what the future of the Zhen family will be like..."
Feng Ziying said leisurely: "Baochen, sometimes I am not sure whether some roads can be taken, but I always want to give it a try, just like the transformation of this joint-stock industry, and then use it for transactions to attract more capital to promote big business." Many people don’t understand the development of industry and commerce in Zhou Dynasty, or they think that I am trying to please others by grandstanding and making a fuss out of a molehill. They think that the world must be based on agriculture. Spending all your attention on industry and commerce is a waste of time and will eventually suffer. But I want to say that they are Being short-sighted and unable to see the development of the times, and clinging to the old ways, the Xiyi people's gunboats have already arrived at their doorstep. If they were not too far apart and lacked manpower and supplies, our navy would not be their opponent at all. Because of this I urged the Denglai Navy to quickly change ships and guns..."
For the first time, Zhen Baochen felt the depth and depression of the man next to him. It seemed that he had a lot of words that he could not express to others, but it seemed that he could play this role, which made Zhen Baochen a little happy.
"If we don't change and learn from the strength of our ships and artillery, how will we respond when the Xiyi warships arrive at our port?" Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to learn lessons after being beaten and failed, let alone After losing the opportunity, we are willing to spend several times or even ten times the price to get it back. There are some things that we can never get back even if we lose them."
Zhen Baochen didn't quite understand the meaning of some words for a while, but she could understand the loneliness and lack of understanding in Feng Ziying's words, which made Jingran feel a little heartbroken.
"Ms. sir, do you think those Xiyi people will pose a threat to our Zhou Dynasty? Didn't you say that their home base is thousands of miles away? Could it be that they would travel thousands of miles to attack our Zhou Dynasty? Why? To occupy our land? Or rob our property?" Zhen Baochen asked.
"Some things we all think are impossible now, but when we get to that point
You will find that this world is a world of the weak and the strong. If you are not strong enough, you are the original sin, just like the natives of Southeast Asia. When the Francons, Dutch, and English arrived, you never asked for their opinions or paid attention to their attitudes. Those who disobey will be dealt with with guns and bayonets, accompanied by killings. Three to five hundred people can kill thousands of natives without blinking an eye. Maybe now the court will think that how can we, the Zhou Dynasty, be the same as those natives of Nanyang? We have an army and a navy, but when the warships and artillery of the Xiyi are far stronger than ours, and when our army is difficult to match against each other, do you think they will treat us the same way they treated the natives of Nanyang? Instead of rushing to deal with it at that time, how about taking a pre-emptive strike? Let us first become stronger, compete with them, and defend the enemy from outside the country..."
Feng Ziying didn't know why she mentioned these words to Zhen Baochen. Maybe she felt that Zhen Baochen was more flexible, maybe Zhen Baochen was more receptive to new things such as joint-stock industry and securities trading, and responded faster, or maybe she really He wants Zhen Baochen to be his spokesperson in Jiangnan and participate in some industries and things that he can't face.
Of course, this may also be related to some fluctuations in my thoughts caused by my recent rounds of communication with Gu Bingqian, Chai Ke, Guo Zhengyu, Bi Ziyan, Sun Dingxiang, Yang Lian and others.
Most people have accepted some of their own views, but deep down they still don't quite agree that the development of industry and commerce can replace agriculture.
They even think that industry and commerce can only be a supplement to agriculture. After all, without food, people will starve to death, but everything else seems to be bearable.
But they ignored that without the development of industry and commerce, the development of agriculture would also be restricted, and the price of food would skyrocket due to poor transportation. And colonization would bring more land suitable for growing food, which would reduce the food production of the entire Zhou Dynasty. Entering a virtuous cycle, they cannot see or realize these things.
Feng Ziying has actually experienced this feeling of loneliness that exceeds that of those around her for hundreds of years.
He found that his way to fight against this kind of loneliness might be to have fun with women, and let their beautiful faces, soft bodies and gentle personalities comfort his lonely soul. If there were one or two more who could be with him in some aspects, If you can speak for yourself, that would be even more perfect. Maybe this is the dilemma that historical travelers have to face.
Shen Yixiu can barely count as one, Zhen Baochen seems to barely count as half, Jia Yuanchun can barely count as half sometimes, and Guo Qinjun can barely count as half sometimes, but in general, they can only passively follow their own path. Following his own ideas, he could not give more suggestions, let alone anything innovative, but Feng Ziying never gave up hope on this point.
"My husband, I cannot be as far-sighted as my husband, but I understand that the current joint-stock industry and the stock exchange are an attempt for my husband, and it is also very important. If my husband wants me to try it, I am willing to do my best. Do your best to do this well.”
Zhen Baochen bit his lip and stared at Feng Ziying, speaking every word authentically.
Feng Ziying looked at Zhen Baochen and asked thoughtfully: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Didn't my husband say something about the Wusongkou Shipyard? Then I took up the tiger skin as a banner, invested money to buy some stocks, and became a shareholder of the Wusong Shipyard. According to what my husband said, the Wusong Shipyard is not small in scale, and it is still carrying out operations this year. After expansion, the Fujian Navy is still far behind the Denglai Navy. Most of the warships are still old-fashioned. However, the Fujian Navy will have to face Nanyang in the future, and there are more Westerners in Nanyang. Concubine I also heard that Xue Gong mentioned that the Xue family and Anfu merchants wanted to colonize Sulu and Luzon, and that was the territory of the Folangji people. If the Fujian Navy did not keep up, the Fujian Navy might suffer a loss in the event of a conflict. Based on this, , the imperial court should renovate the Fujian Navy, then this should be an opportunity for Wusong Shipyard, and it can even allow Wusong Shipyard to have no shortage of orders for several years. With such good news, Wusong Shipyard’s stock should rise sharply... ·
Feng Ziying did not expect Zhen Baochen to have such clear ideas and come up with countermeasures in such a short period of time. First, he would change the shareholding system and win the shares, and then lobby all parties to win the Fujian Navy order for Wusong Shipyard. This is considered good news, then Is it possible to ship and sell stocks? "Then what's the next step?" Feng Zi
Ying was really curious. He wanted to see how this woman operated stocks.
"Well, when there is a big rise, we can naturally sell and make profits, but this kind of news may stimulate the rise for a while, and it will eventually stabilize. If there is nothing else to do, we can actually hold it for a long time and wait for dividends and profits. If it is considerable, the annual dividend will definitely be much higher than that of a bank,..."
Zhen Baochen's words did not satisfy Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying stared at him and said, "I mean, do you think you can make money by buying and selling like this? I mean, it's not just making money once. Is there any way to make money repeatedly?" "
It took Zhen Baochen a while to finally understand what Feng Ziying meant. She was a little confused about Feng Ziying's intention. "Does my husband mean to repeatedly operate a stock and let its price continue to rise and fall to make money? But doing so should go against my original intention." Bar?"
Feng Ziying shook her head, "You don't care about the specific reasons for now. I just ask if you think there is any way to operate it?" He wanted to test whether this woman had the intuition and talent to operate in the stock market.
