Inside the exchange, there was a rush of people.
As soon as you step into the hall, you will feel a sense of openness. After all, it was the merger of several restaurants, and the middle hall covers a huge area.
In the center of the hall hangs a sign with the price of each stock, as well as other brief information on listed transactions.
Occasionally, I saw a boy taking down the sign with a long pole and replacing it with a new price, which made the hall agitated.
The crowd in the hall clearly divided into two groups.
Half of them were ordinary people dressed in simple clothes, while the other half were obviously more luxurious.
As for the left and right sides of the exchange, there are also specially set up tea rooms and restaurants for VIPs to drink tea and have banquets.
Looking at this lively scene, Fang Zheng smiled.
Stock trading was initially established. Although it is certainly incomparable with later generations, it has already begun to take shape!
I just don’t know how many people will stop dreaming about this in the future...
Seeing him looking around, Li Yuanzhao pointed out in a pretentious manner: "This is the exchange. Many famous businesses in the capital are listed here and stocks are sold publicly. Look at the people walking around and recording. There are many It's the Yahang in the capital, specially delivering messages here."
"Once there is any disturbance, it will be immediately spread here and affect the stock price."
"Now that the exchange is newly established, it's a good time to buy stocks. Lao Fang, you take whatever money you bring and use it to buy stocks! We don't even consider dividends. We will make profit if it goes up, and we won't necessarily lose if it goes down! It’s always a profit!”
Fang Zheng turned his head and glanced at him like he was looking at leeks.
Whether you can make money by buying stocks still needs to be examined in detail. Now just because new things have emerged, everyone is hyping them up, and it seems to be prosperous.
You still need to find out more about the specific situation from Liu Zhongshun.
Li Yuanzhao still said with high spirits: "Come, come, let me tell you how to buy stocks while you eat! There are special seats upstairs for distinguished guests."
After that, he pulled him towards the stairs on the left.
As we went up to the second floor, the number of people suddenly decreased. The people drinking tea and dining on the second floor obviously had higher status and were dressed in luxurious clothes.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two chose a seat next to each other, so that they could see the scenery in the hall from top to bottom.
After ordering a table of wine and food, the two of them began to drink slowly with small glasses while looking down.
Halfway through eating, Li Yuanzhao pointed downward and said: "Look, Lao Fang, Yangjin Iron Works is the most popular stock at the moment. If you listen to me and buy it, you will definitely make money!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of bills from his chest and slapped it on the table: "This is the stock I bought some time ago. I first bought one thousand taels to try it out. Now it is worth one thousand two hundred taels!"
Fang Zhengyi smiled half-heartedly: "Why did you buy a thousand taels when you are so sure?"
"Hey, I didn't know the market before, so I just bought something for fun. I studied it for a few days, and now I can make a big bet!" After Li Yuanzhao said that, he started to talk again, "You don't believe me, do you? I can be regarded as the best. If you play stocks first, it will be too late for you to buy them later. Let me explain to you why Yangjin Iron Factory will continue to rise in the future..."
Looking at the extremely senior look, Fang Zhengyi suppressed a smile and interrupted him: "Having said so much, do you think the reason why Yangjin Iron Works has increased is because it is the property of Rong Guogong, and the railway construction in the future will also Did you use iron from the iron factory?"
Li Yuanzhao paused: "Ah, yes, am I wrong in my analysis?"
Fang Zheng pointed at the table with one finger: "Your Highness, think about it. Who has the final say on the iron used for the railway?"
"Of course it's the eastern suburbs...huh!?" Li Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly widened and he slapped his forehead, "Hey, the authorities are crazy! Aren't you in charge of this thing? Then if you want to make money, isn't it the same as robbing money? !”
Fang Zhengyi chuckled: "Otherwise? It's just like robbing money. So, although this exchange is good, it has no rules, is too opaque and has many loopholes, making it easy for people to take advantage of it. When someone with identity enters the market, the stock price will change. It’s not up to the market to rise or fall.”
"No, isn't this your first time here? Why do you seem to be better off than me?"
Fang Zhengyi was speechless. He raised his hand and called the boy and said, "Go and fetch Liu Zhongshun for me."
The boy swallowed and said cautiously: "Master...who are you looking for?"
"Liu Zhongshun, just tell me that the master is looking for him."
The boy looked at Fang Zheng carefully and did not dare to neglect him. He turned around and ran upstairs.
Not long after, Liu Zhongshun's figure appeared on the second floor.
As soon as Fang Zheng arrived, he hurried forward to salute and said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"
Li Yuanzhao's suspicious eyes wandered back and forth between the two.
Fang Zhengyi pointed at Liu Zhongshun and explained: "He is the current manager of the exchange."
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all thanks to the master."
"The exchange...was it done by you behind the scenes?" Li Yuanzhao was dumbfounded and felt his face burning.
I was still telling people my stock tips, but the originator was right in front of me! ?
"Lao Fang, you are not being honest! Why are you pretending to be with me?" Li Yuanzhao's face turned red with shame.
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "It is indeed me who gave him the instructions to do this, but this is also my first time here."
After speaking, he pointed at Liu Zhongshun and said: "What is the current situation of the exchange, please sit down and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Zhongshun was full of joy: "It's really beyond imagination! Master, I don't know. Originally, when the exchange was established, I thought it would only be popular in a small circle, but I didn't expect that there would be a sea of people in the three days it opened! I want to get a share of the pie. There are so many people that we can’t even count them.”
"The amount of money that has been transferred from the exchange in the past few days has already been calculated in millions of taels! In addition to the first few companies I associated with, there are still many people begging me every day to list their business on the exchange. So. But we haven’t figured out some aspects yet, so we don’t dare to let new people list the company for the time being.”
"Looking at this momentum, I'm afraid it won't be long before tens of millions of taels of silver will be circulating on the market at an extremely fast speed... It's really scary."
Fang Zheng said: "Well, it is indeed developing too fast. It seems that there are many wealthy people among the people. If this momentum continues, it will not be long before the court pays attention."
"Look at these people below. The word profit is written on their faces! They are opportunistic and the court will not see this."
"The more this happens, the more stable you should be! Find someone as soon as possible to formulate a more strict and detailed set of regulations and form a team. This listed transaction must be carefully reviewed and the situation disclosed to the people in an open and transparent manner. On your side If something goes wrong, it becomes a big deal among the people."
Liu Zhongshun reminded in a low voice: "Sir, in fact, many people in the businesses we are listing now have big backers in the government. If we do what you say..."
Fang Zheng suddenly smiled: "Those with backgrounds are really not used to following rules. They always tell others not to do this or that, but they themselves are both this and that."
"If you want to make money in the exchange, I don't care what background he has or how arrogant he is in business. He must follow my rules when he is in my territory!"
