Chapter 117: It's Black to Grandma's House
February 25,
The wealthy businessmen from all over the country who came to Shanghai to buy shares in the Ocean Trade Fleet were waiting outside the gate of Liuchunyuan early in the morning. They had already figured out the rules of Liuchunyuan opening on time.
Before Chen, the street at the entrance of Liuchunyuan was crowded with people. Looking at the crowd of dark people, the rich and powerful businessmen were heartbroken. Putting aside the entourage, there must be at least 300 people, and the shares were only 45%. Even if they were sold at a price of one, they were only 45%. Today's competition is very fierce. [The latest updates are all in search.]
The problem is that I still don’t know how the 14th prince plans to sell his shares, whether to draw lots or take auctions? I think it’s mostly auctions, and I’m confident and immediately feel full of confidence.
Yinzhen knew the situation outside. Kangxi cooperated very well and threw the birth silk stockings in a timely manner. It would be strange if this share was not robbed. However, this time he faced all the gentry. He didn't want to, and he was not inconvenient to come forward. He called Zheng Qinghai over, whispered an order, and asked him to make the decision to operate.
Zheng Qinghai is the second son of Zheng Shichang's family. He was 38 years old and has been managing finances at the "Four Great Hengs". He was brought from the capital at the beginning of the year. This is a person that can be trusted. Yinzhen plans to let him manage Shanghai's finances in full. This opportunity just made him show his face.
Zheng Qinghai led a group of personal guards to open the garden door. Two rows of personal guards came out one after another. Then he stepped out of the garden door steadily, stood on the high-level, and glanced at the dark crowd below.
The wealthy businessmen who had been waiting for a long time became quiet when they saw Zheng Qinghai coming out. Zheng Qinghai sang: "Please cooperate and empty the place in front of the door. Anyone who wants to buy shares will stand at the door, and other irrelevant people will leave the door."
The scene immediately became turbulent. After a while of struggle, it finally calmed down again. Zheng Qinghai said: "First of all, the shares of the Ocean Trade Fleet will not start to be distributed in dividends after two years. Secondly, due to the limited shares sold, there are too many people who want to buy shares. For fairness, this shares will be auctioned in secret bids." Then he explained the rules of secret bids.
It was obvious that the dividends were distributed two years later. As everyone expected, but when they heard that it was a secret auction, the wealthy and giants had no intention of listening to Zheng Qinghai's explanation. They all knew what was going on. But their faces immediately lengthened a lot. The merchants in Shanghai bought them at a price of one million yuan, which means that the reserve price was at least one million. How much would it take to get shares for this secret bid? There were more than 300 people competing, and this move was even more ruthless than the auction, and the 14th prince was too dark.
After explaining the rules clearly, Zheng Qinghai said loudly: "Shares are sold in four times. The first time, 10% of the shares are sold, that is, ten shares are limited to purchase two points. If bidders want to line up first, ten people will be in the hospital and leave their names and prices. Don't worry, there will be a chance."
After a while, Zheng Qinghai announced the names of eight people who won the bid for the first time, and then he said loudly: "To be fair, every time it is announced, the lowest winning bidder will be quoted. If someone finds that he is higher than this price and has not won the bidder, he can raise it on the spot. The lowest winning bidder price this time is 1.12 million taels."
As soon as the price came out, a group of wealthy businessmen were scolded in their hearts. This is not what it is for fairness. It is simply to raise the bottom price. Now there are only 35% of the shares left. Below this price, you can win the bid? No wonder he had to bid four times, and this move was really bad for grandma's house.
Sure enough, in the second bid, the lowest winning bid price rose to 1.18 million.
I bid three times, and the lowest winning price rose to 1.25 million.
After the third bid result was announced, Zheng Qinghai said loudly again: "Now is the last bid. I hope everyone will not miss the opportunity. This time, the remaining 15% of the shares are the remaining one."
In addition to annoyance, the wealthy businessmen who did not win the bid began to consider how to seize this last opportunity. They were nervously calculating how much they could bear? How much would they fill in, so that they would not suffer losses and get shares?
Soon, the last bid result was announced, and the lowest winning bid price was 1.35 million.
After receiving the statistical results, Yinzhen just smiled slightly. This time, he had more than 10 million out of thin air. The prosperity of Jiangnan really opened his eyes. It was not just a wealthy country. If he could concentrate all this money, it would be fine to dominate the world. He had to think carefully and not let all the silver be buried underground. In the future, the silver will be worthless. Even if it was buried underground, it would have to be buried gold.
However, he collected nearly 60 million taels at this time. I don’t know how many people were jealous. He naturally understood that the reason why the money was too much was jealous. He was naturally aware that Kangxi was the main defense. Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a note, detailing the amount of silver and money needed to build a trade fleet and the ocean fleet, and handing over the income from the Qinhuai River pilot in the past two years, and promised to pay the income from specializing in cotton and raw silk starting next year.
After thinking about it, he was still worried and added another one, applying for investment to expand and renovate two official roads from Shanghai to Suzhou, Shanghai to Jiangning, and hoped to use these two official roads as a model for national official roads. At the same time, he also gave a 2 million ticket to the "Four Great Heng" meeting.
On February 26, Yinzhen led 600 Navy, 200 Guards, Yande, Liu Zhisheng and other officers boarded Shi Shixian's Fujian Navy warship into the sea to Xiamen.
Capital.
On the same day, Zhang Penghong returned to the capital. After seeing him, he returned to the mansion, and a large group of well-informed officials had already gathered outside the door. Zhang Penghong had already expected this situation. As soon as he entered the mansion, he asked the housekeeper to close the door to thank the guests on the grounds of being tired from the journey.
Zhang Penghong's actions made the officials come and return in disappointment. They couldn't figure out what he thought. The 14th Party was newly established, so wouldn't it be absorbing members? Or was Zhang Penghong really tired from the journey? Or did he want to postpone a few days to observe the scenery?
In Yuqing Palace, study room, the Crown Prince Yinreng was thinking hard that last year, the drought in Fujian Province, he secretly condemned people to go to the disaster area to buy and hoard grain at the end of the year. He also asked Heqi and others to secretly dispatch personnel, and also personally sent letters to the officials of the Fujian Prince and the Crown Prince to pay close attention. Seeing that it was almost the same, it was time to find a way to distract Kangxi and the ministers in the court during this period, so as not to notice and make it easier to arrange them secretly.
Just as he was thinking hard and unable to understand the law, Zhu Tianbao came in to ask for instructions, "Crown Prince, this year is the 50th year of the Emperor's Supreme Emperor's Day, and the birthday of the whole family is about to be. This birthday ceremony needs to be given as soon as possible, so the servants can prepare early."
Yuji for fifty years! Yinreng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a wonderful idea. He chuckled and said, "Jiuru is a reminder. We have to make a big fuss about this year's birthday gift." As he said, he stood up, walked in a square step, and then pondered: "This year is the fifty year of Emperor Ama Yuji. Although Emperor Ama is not the founding king, Emperor Ama has lived in the Three Feudals of the People's Republic of China, conquered Taiwan and fought Tsarist Russia, and conquered the Junggar three times. He created this everlasting foundation and was actually the lord of entrepreneurs. As the crown prince, he should contact a group of princes and ministers to give the title of Emperor Ama and pray to the title of Emperor Ama."
