Dominate the Country

Zhongyuan Bank is the core industry of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and 75% of its shares are controlled by the royal family. The quarterly report this spring shows that Zhongyuan Bank, with a registered capital of only 14 million silver dollars, now has more than 300 million private deposits, which is higher than the savings amount of the bottom-ranked Bank of Communications, and holds shares in more than 30 high-quality companies across the country, even if the share ratio is very low.

Chen Ming's intention is to interweave the interests of the royal family and the top aristocracy around Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce and Zhongyuan Bank to create a huge and solid giant consortium. The former Zhongyuan Bank is the core industry, and the latter Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is a huge tentacle monster, with countless claws reaching in all directions, entering any profitable industry.

For example, plantations in Nanyang, soybean planting on farms in the Northeast, textiles, silk weaving, silk reeling, shipbuilding, transportation, ready-made clothing, grain and oil, cigarettes, salt and sugar, etc., as well as machinery manufacturing companies with steam engine manufacturing as the core, mining, fishing, North Sea Company...

In the future era of change, the royal family with such a huge consortium in their hands will definitely benefit greatly.

Among these many industries, there are sole proprietorships managed by the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, joint ventures with others, and pure investments that only pay money but do not hold power. In this relatively underdeveloped information and limited coverage of banks, the existence of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is necessary to enhance the influence of the Central Plains Bank as soon as possible.

However, in this era, it is easier to get attention from all walks of life to do industry than to do finance. When it came to the middle of the third year of Chengtian, the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce was well-known throughout the country, and this reputation had a greater influence than the Central Plains Bank, which was also known to everyone. Because it is related to the livelihoods of countless people, its commodities and goods accompany the lives of the people all the time.

In the palace.

Shi handed a small solid wood box to her mother, "Mom. Take the money here and ask Dad to go to Shanghai. When the stock exchange opens, you can use half of the money here to buy land bonds and the other half to buy stocks. Beihai has the best growth. In addition to Beihai, you can buy stocks of shipyards, shipping, Hongji's coal mines, Ma'anshan and Anshan's steel mills, and those machinery manufacturing companies." This is most of Shi's private money saved in the past few years.

"These are all ways to make money safely. Our family will be able to live on the dividends from this in the future. But don't let your family members reach out and do a bad job. Don't take money that you shouldn't take. The emperor hates this the most."

"Also, let the younger generations in the family behave themselves. After the summer vacation is over, put them all in school. Don't show off outside and get a reputation of being unlearned." When Shi said this, he was really angry that his brothers and younger generations were not up to the task. A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shi's mother's face.

It was also because the Shi family was not prosperous. When the country was founded, there were not many capable people. Now that the overall situation of the country has been determined and the rules of the court have been established, it will be even more difficult for the Shi family to make a name for themselves. The younger relatives in the family are disgusted with being civil servants, soldiers, and being ordered around by others. They are all like dandy boys, idling all day, drinking and visiting brothels. They are famous in Nanjing. It would be embarrassing for Shi to be in the palace.

She is not the queen, nor is she Liu Wanyun. The Shi family is not worth a damn now. All the face depends on her, a favorite concubine in the palace. If she doesn't know how to restrain herself, she will really die.

To be honest, compared with family background, even Li Xiaomei's distant relatives in the side courtyard are doing better than Shi, not to mention the Liu family, which is absolutely a wealthy family. The Shi family is the real nouveau riche, and it's hard to tell who is who. It's really far behind.

But can the Shi family listen to everything Shi said? Looking at her mother's back as she left, Shi sighed helplessly.

June and July every year are the hottest two months of the year. Chen Ming went to Mount Lu in the first year of his enthronement, and went to Mount Huang in the second year. But this year he did not move. Even though the sun in Nanjing was scorching, the air seemed to be flowing with a ball of scorching flames, and people's sweat was oozing out of every pore, he did not think of taking people outside to escape the heat.

Because his eyes were always on the stock markets in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

More than a month had passed, and he was relieved. The stock prices of the first batch of 70 listed companies all rose. The lowest increase was 30% to 40%. The highest was the Far East Mining Development Company, whose stock price doubled from the initial 5 yuan per share to the current 17 yuan per share. Because this company had a good advertisement on June 2, covering provincial and national newspapers across the country, with only one content - this company discovered two large-scale gold mines in the mining rights area obtained in the Northeast, and now the company is recruiting miners from all over the country.

Then the stock price of this mining company rose straight up like a plane.

How many people made a fortune in this wave of "gold rush".

This Far East Mining Development Company suppressed the limelight of the North Sea Company. The latter's stock price rose from 12 yuan to 25 yuan, doubling in a month. It can be said that the situation is booming, but there are stronger ones among the strong. This Far East Mineral Development Company, which is solely owned and operated by the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, has Chen Ming behind the scenes to guide it, and has deliberately suppressed the good news for half a year. If he can't get off to a good start, what kind of a time traveler is Chen Ming?

The hot summer cannot stop the passion of stock investors. Human beings' desire for money and wealth is more intense than the scorching sun in the sky! What does high temperature mean in front of real gold and silver?

The stock exchanges in Shanghai and Guangzhou are crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, sweating profusely. Since the opening, with the stock market soaring and becoming popular, hundreds and thousands of people have followed the continuous rise in stock prices, and the daily flow of people in the stock exchange has also risen like sesame sticks!

"Shanghai First Financial News", a newspaper affiliated with the stock exchange, also quickly opened up sales in Shanghai, Guangzhou and surrounding areas with the booming stock market, and spread to the inland.

There are 35 stocks listed on the two stock exchanges, including state-owned enterprises with strong capital, mining resources with amazing benefits, private enterprises with wonderful prospects, and major machinery manufacturing leaders from all over the world.

Except for national securities, there are no duplicate stocks in the two stock exchanges. This is the result of the Securities Regulatory Commission's principle of "better to have nothing than to have something bad" from the snowflake-like applications flying in from all over the country. The lowest capital is 3 million yuan!

Now every stock is rising, the only difference is the size of the increase. If you put money in at the opening, then by now, one by one will not make a fortune.

Several banks in Shanghai have a data that suddenly soared 500% in June. That is the amount of precious metals exchanged for currency. The hot stock market and the passion to make money while lying down have made countless people take out the silver dollars, silver and gold bars hidden in their homes, take them to the bank, and exchange them for a lot of paper money according to the exchange ratio of 3:2 for silver dollars, 15:1 for silver to gold, and 1:10 for silver dollars to paper money, which seems to never change.

Every day, countless people stare at the exchange nervously. June has not even passed yet, and in addition to the special securities newspapers and periodicals under the Securities Regulatory Commission, several new stock special publications have appeared in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the circulation is not small. Even many teahouses have people specifically preaching the content of stock market newspapers and periodicals. And the clipper mail between Shanghai and Guangzhou is so frequent that I don’t know how frequent it is...

Even the staff of foreign embassies and consulates in China are closely following the Chinese stock market. Chen Han did not say that foreign capital is not allowed to enter the Chinese stock market. It’s just that now is not like the telecommunications era. There is no cross-border bank between the East and the West. It is difficult for a huge amount of overseas funds to suddenly enter the Chinese stock market. In other words, even if it happens, the court with absolute power in China can easily announce which stocks violate the Securities and Exchange Law and temporarily freeze them. A scene that is impossible in the Western world can happen anytime and anywhere in China as long as Chen Ming allows it.

So although China’s finance is still a seedling, it really has no other external threats except the fluctuations of its own market. The government will escort them! A huge protective umbrella was raised over the top of this young seedling, allowing China's financial securities to enter a high-speed development track directly.

Therefore, the Chinese securities market, which is not threatened by foreign capital, has been developing in a completely raging fire and blooming flowers in the past month. Large sums of money are injected into companies one by one, and then the companies quickly announce expansion, further stimulating the popularity of stocks in the market.

In this way, some underlying listed companies with less than 5 million yuan in capital also swelled up rapidly like balloons. The money collected from the stock market is purely cash. For each company, cash is of course the most needed. With cash, they can quickly expand the scale of the industry. For these high-quality companies selected by the Securities Regulatory Commission, which one is not in rapid development?

They are now short of funds, time, support, and many other things. The only thing they don't lack is the flow of funds.

For example, the eye-catching Far East Mineral Development Company, after its stock price soared, immediately announced that it had signed a three-year employment agreement with the Vanguard Corps, hiring 200 Vanguard Corps soldiers as security guards for the company's two mines.

The Vanguard Corps has a mediocre reputation in China in the past two years. Although the Vanguard Corps members performed fiercely on the battlefield, the performance of the Fu Han Army soldiers was not inferior to them at all. Moreover, the Japanese are generally short in stature, and they do not have much deterrence from their appearance. Even many farms have hired Korean sticks as supervisors to monitor Korean slave laborers, but the Japanese have never had any other way out in China.

This order is the first large order received by the Vanguard Corps except for the army.

The land prices in Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Yantai and other places are also constantly setting new highs. In particular, the land prices around the port area have tripled compared to the original. The Zheng family joined forces with the Zhang family, as well as the Tiandihui in Taiwan and Fujian, and the Shunfeng Real Estate, which was funded by the Zheng family, the Zhang family, and the Tiandihui in Taiwan and Fujian, was the only real estate developer among the 70 first-batch superior companies.

They started with the second and third-level land in the coastal foreign trade port cities, because the first-level land was limited and had long been divided up by the government and Chen Han’s relatives, so they could not afford it at that time. However, as trade continued to heat up, the prices of many lands that were not previously classified as first-level also rose sharply.

This Shunfeng Real Estate may not look very impressive, but its rate of return will definitely be lower than that of the Beihai Company.

Although the original intention of these people to take this path may not be influenced by the "landlord" thinking, which shareholder will still hold the old ideas? Take the Zheng family for example. Zheng Lianfu's third son Zheng Wenjun has a close relationship with Han Teng. At that time, Zheng Wenjun acquired a lot of land in Chuansha. The price at that time was only a few silver dollars per mu? What about now? Especially the piece near the Huangpu River, even if it is fully covered with warehouses and rented out, it can make a lot of money.

Any industry is inseparable from the "buy low and sell high", it depends on whether the eyes are accurate.

Now SF Real Estate's total assets are estimated to be around 50 million. It owns thousands of acres of first, second and third-level land in various port cities, more than 20 three-story tube buildings, more than 2,000 other types of houses, and more than 300 stores in different locations. The monthly rental fee is more than one million.

They sold 10% of their shares in the stock market, but in return they received more than three million, nearly four million in liquid funds. This amount of money is a considerable sum for the shareholders of Shunfeng Real Estate. Shunfeng Real Estate did not use this money to distribute dividends, but quickly invested it in the Huangpu River in Shanghai. This move further stimulated the rise of Shunfeng Real Estate's stock.

Every traditional Chinese businessman hopes to hold everything in his own hands. This is a belief that penetrates into his bones. Among the 100 companies and businesses initially selected by the Securities Regulatory Commission, many refused to go public because of this. They held this idea and would rather develop slowly and make their own decisions.

But the charm of money is infinite. After watching for more than half a month, seeing that many stocks in the Shanghai and Guangzhou Stock Exchanges were soaring one by one, and Huayuan was flowing into the pockets of those companies like the tide, some people immediately changed their minds. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to turn back.

Now if they want to go public again, they will not only have to be cut by the qualified banks to endorse the stock price, but also pay a considerable listing fee to the stock exchange.

But no matter how much they pay, it is far less than the benefits they are about to reap.

One example after another is right in front of us. The whole of China is watching, and the newspapers are full of articles, making stocks and securities "deep into" the hearts of every Chinese.

And countless people yearn for stocks, which has also made the precious metal exchange industry of state-owned banks soar in the past month.

Boxes of gold and silver were sent to state-owned banks in exchange for bank checks, and then these checks were easily invested in the stock market as if they were worthless, and flowed into the hands of industry and commerce that were in urgent need of funds. What followed was the expansion of listed companies.

Time is money!

In the textile industry, workers working in two shifts are easy, and three shifts are a common phenomenon. Production continues to expand and expand...

Data is the best way to test everything!

...

"No money?" Chen Ming looked at his tenth uncle Chen Yi in front of him in surprise. This close branch of the Chen family who fell behind halfway is now the helmsman of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Chen Han swept the world, and Chen Ming's small treasury was filled with gold and silver. And his small treasury is connected to the finance department of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent. Chen Ming remembers clearly that Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce still had tens of millions of liquid funds during the spring summary. Now it has been spent in just three or four months?

"Even the reserve funds are about to be spent." Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce now has only Chen Ming's basic funds left, one million taels of gold and ten million taels of silver. No one dares to move without Chen Ming's words. "During this period, we have acquired a total of 2% of Beihai's shares, 1.5% of Hongji Coal Mine's shares, and 1% of Ma'anshan and Anshan Iron and Steel Company's shares. 524,000 acres of Northeast land bonds, and 1.75% of Jiangnan Shipyard's shares..."

Chen Yi's face did not show any embarrassed expression, it was really that the benefits of stocks were too amazing. Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce has spent less than 20 million yuan on the stock market during this period, but now if they sell all the stocks in their hands, they can at least buy 30 million yuan. Ten million in profit, and it's only a few days. Who in the world would let such an opportunity go?

"Your Majesty, look at the East China Sea..."

Chen Yi certainly didn't come to Chen Ming to ask for money. He wanted to ask Chen Ming for a fire, to light the big firecracker of East China Sea Crystal, and then strike while the iron is hot to sell the shares of Far East Mineral Development Company for two more points.

After that, Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce will never be short of money again.

"In addition, this steam reeling machine has been successfully tested. It can twist two threads together, or twist 2 to 4 threads alone. Compared with the old-fashioned reeling machine with foot pedal and hand crank, the efficiency is much improved."
