Ouyang Lun slowly walked into the stock exchange surrounded by many people.
Zhu Yuanzhang's family also squeezed in.
As soon as he entered the stock exchange, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that it was so big. In terms of space alone, it was comparable to his Fengtian Palace.
First, the stock exchange announced that it would open today.
Then Ouyang Lun walked to the high platform with a fat businessman with a big belly.
"My Lord County Magistrate, please say a few words!"
"That's right, Lord County Magistrate, please tell us about new stocks or recommend which stocks are worth buying!"
"Please ask the magistrate to speak to you!"
In the exchange, the people chanted and asked the county magistrate Ouyang Lun to speak, with great sincerity and urgency.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang look puzzled in his heart.
Is this Ouyang Lun so popular with the people?
"Brother, why are you so looking forward to the county magistrate's speech?"
Zhu Yuanzhang simply asked a passerby beside him.
The passerby rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes full of contempt, "You don't even know this, how dare you come to the stock exchange?"
"This county magistrate is a man of words. As long as the stocks he mentions and recommends to buy, they will definitely rise in the future, and the daily limit is not impossible! That's all money!"
rise?
Daily limit?
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more confused.
However, he was very patient now and continued to ask passers-by. After some explanations from passers-by, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood the rules for buying stocks and what is up, what is down, what is the upper limit, and what is the down limit.
Isn't this just money being mixed in a pile of money?
Not working, not producing, not operating... This is even more hateful than a businessman!
At this moment, Ouyang Lun stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the entire stock exchange suddenly became quiet. At this moment, even if a pin dropped to the ground, you could hear the sound.
"Thank you all for your love."
"Everyone must already know the reason why I came to the stock exchange today, which is to list Lucky Casino."
"Everyone also knows that this Lucky Casino is the largest casino in Kaiping County. It has been operating very well over the years and is loved by everyone. The successful listing now depends entirely on everyone's support!"
"Anyway, this county is very optimistic about the future development of Lucky Casino. In the future, Lucky Casino will open branches all over the Ming Dynasty. By then, everyone who buys its shares today will be shareholders and bosses!"
Ouyang Lun finished speaking.
Cheers immediately erupted in the exchange.
"Mr. County Magistrate, I heard that you have also invested in the Lucky Casino? Can you tell me how much stock you hold? How much do you plan to sell?"
"Let's talk about it."
"Sell more of this, otherwise you won't be able to grab it!"
Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Since everyone has asked, I won't hide it. I own 80% of this Lucky Casino and Boss Zhao owns 20%. This time we plan to sell 30% of the shares on the stock exchange market!" I will contribute 20%, and Boss Zhao will contribute 10%, totaling 30%.”
"Thirty percent...that's a lot!"
"Last time Maotai Liquor went on the market, we only paid out 20%, but we didn't get it at all."
"The last time Kaiping Iron Industry was listed, it was only 10%. In the blink of an eye, everything was gone. I could only watch the stock price soar!"
"I have to grab whatever you say this time!"
"Master County Magistrate, you haven't said anything about the price per share of Lucky Casino this time?"
"Yes, that's the most important thing. If the stock price is high, I won't be able to buy it with my money!"
The people asked questions one after another, each one more eager than the other.
Ouyang Lun turned to look at the fat businessman beside him, "Boss Zhao, it's up to you to announce this."
"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate." The fat businessman rubbed his hands and said nervously: "This time Lucky Casino will issue 300,000 shares, priced at 100 cents per share! The minimum purchase price is 100 shares!"
One hundred cents per share, one hundred shares equals ten thousand cents or ten taels of silver.
Three hundred thousand shares equals 30,000 taels of silver, of which 200,000 shares were issued by Ouyang Lun, which means that in the end, 20,000 taels of silver will fall into Ouyang Lun's pocket! !
This is not two hundred coins, but twenty thousand taels of silver!
Listening to what the people just said, more than one stock has been listed on this stock exchange in recent years. If ten stocks have been listed, and each stock earns 20,000 taels, that is 200,000 taels! !
The Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue was only about 10 million taels, but Ouyang Lun could make 200,000 taels, accounting for 2%, and these are not counting Ouyang Lun's other means of making money!
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously touched his waist. If he had a knife at this moment, he would have killed Ouyang Lun, two hundred thousand taels! !
"Okay, having said that, let's go on the market quickly! After finishing it, I still have to go and accompany my wife!"
Ouyang Lun was a little impatient.
Boom——
In the end, the fat businessman, the owner of Lucky Casino, sounded the gong that heralded the listing.
Ouyang Lun, escorted by a group of policemen, left in an eight-carriage sedan with gongs and drums beating.
Next, people took the money in their hands and rushed to buy the stocks of "Lucky Gambling House".
Three hundred thousand shares were sold out in less than half an hour.
"Father, I grabbed ten thousand shares!"
Zhu Di squeezed out from the crowd and came back with a piece of exquisite paper in his hand.
"Let's go back first."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy and left the stock exchange with his hands behind his back.
After returning to the hotel, Zhu Yuanzhang took the "stock" and studied it carefully. The paper used for this stock was very good, like fine rice paper, and the printing technology was also very good. It had a delicate pattern frame and the words "Hongyun Casino Stock" in the middle. "The following is a detailed record of the purchase of 10,000 shares, issued by the Kaiping County Stock Exchange, stock number, and seal of the Kaiping County magistrate....
"Father, we are back."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di came to the suite panting.
"Tell me what information you all found out."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.
"Father, the stock exchange was established two years ago by the county magistrate Ouyang Lun." Zhu Biao spoke first.
"More than 20 stocks have been listed one after another in the past two years, with an average of one stock being listed every month." Zhu Di added.
"Twenty branches? Each branch is related to Ouyang Lun?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Because many shops are invested by Ouyang Lun, they hold a relatively large proportion of shares." Zhu Biao nodded.
"Twenty...then it's not 200,000, but 400,000!!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Corrupt officials!
A truly corrupt official!
The biggest corrupt official since the founding of Ming Dynasty!
Should be killed!
"Mao Xiang!"
"My subordinate is here." Mao Xiang has been waiting for a long time. The prince-in-law who embezzled 400,000 taels will definitely not survive.
The two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at each other. They also wanted to plead for Ouyang Lun, but the evidence of corruption of at least 400,000 yuan was now conclusive, and they didn't know how to plead for mercy.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who embezzles ninety taels of silver will be skinned and shredded.
Some time ago, an old subordinate who had fought with Zhu Yuanzhang for more than ten years committed a corruption case. He embezzled three thousand taels of silver. No matter how many people begged for mercy, it was in vain. They were all cut off.
Four hundred thousand...How many times will it take to behead...
