Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

"Ping Xibo didn't lie!"

"Hurry up, stand at the front. When it opens, be the first to go in. No matter what, you have to grab a few shares today, otherwise you won't be able to explain to the master."

"Don't squeeze, who milked me..."

People swarmed up and were all stopped at the door.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white robe came out, bowed his hands to everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the opening day of the stock exchange center, please save face, line up one by one, don't make noise and Crowded... This stock trading center was opened by the eldest princess, and it has been registered in Chaozhong, Jingzhao Mansion, and Wannian County. Anyone who makes trouble will be crossed out and sent to the Wannian County Government for disposal."

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

The eldest princess, the imperial court, Jingzhao Mansion, Wannian County, anyone who comes out at random is not something everyone can afford.

The crowd became more honest in an instant.

At this time, the shopkeeper in white robe continued: "Next, I announce that the stock trading center is officially open, but you have to wait half an hour before you can enter... Before that, only those who sincerely sell stocks or buy stocks, to enter."

"I, I mean it!"

"I'm sincere too!"

"And I!"

The crowd suddenly boiled again, and everyone didn't want to wait another half an hour, and wanted to go in first.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper in white robe smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet... For those who sincerely sell or buy stocks, their selling or buying prices will be listed on the trading column of the stock exchange center, posted on the three Today, you have the upper hand, so you must pay at least one hundred guan as a deposit, and if you repent at that time, the deposit will not be refunded, can you hear me clearly?"

"what……"

Everyone was stunned.

Want to pay?

One hundred guan is not a small amount.

What's more, the stock trading center has just opened, and everyone has no idea whether the deposit can be refunded.

Therefore, the crowd who were still enthusiastic just now stopped talking.

The shopkeeper in white robe had expected it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Everyone has half an hour to think about it. After half an hour, the registration for buying or selling is over, and the official opening will be completed. If you want to really buy or sell stocks, you have to wait until after the opening."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the stock trading center regardless of everyone's reaction.

Immediately, three or five people gathered together, whispering and discussing.

Unfortunately, many people can't make up their minds.

After about a stick of incense, a fat man stood up and said, "Isn't it just a [-]-guan deposit? This stock trading center was opened by the eldest princess. Could it be possible to bully people? I'll go and register first. "

Hearing this, a middle-aged man in a blue gown also stood up: "There is also me..."

One after another, people walked in and signed up.

Others, who dare not take risks, or do not have so much spare money, can only wait outside.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Dangdang.

The bell rings.

In the stock trading center, the four doors are wide open.

People rushed in and almost broke the threshold.

When I went in, I saw that there was a very spacious hall inside.

A huge plaque hangs from the third floor, and the top reads: Transaction Information Column.

On the left is the selling price information, that is, the Qiwang price at which a person who holds the stock of Xidatang Company wants to sell a share.

The information on the right is the asking price, that is, the price sent by those who do not have shares of Xidatang Company but hope to buy them.

People can use these two columns of information to compare them one by one to see if they are selling or buying.

Once you intend to buy or sell, you can go through the registration procedures at the eight windows opened on both sides.

……

Chapter 378

The opening of the stock trading center is a grand event in Chang'an City and even Datang.

Not to mention other places, just in Chang'an City, men, women and children, women and children, old and young, are all talking about it.

"Have you heard? Chang'an has a place where money can make money."

"Why didn't I hear that, just this morning, the stock of Xidatang Company was only 23 per share, but now it has risen to 25 per share."

"Oh my god, it has risen so sharply. If I had bought a hundred shares, I would have made two hundred if I sold them now!"

"Who says it's not, what a pity, what a pity, I have no money."

"Even if you don't have money, it's good to go and have a look!"

"It makes sense!"

"Go, go and see!"

Countless people don't know the principle of this stock, but it doesn't prevent them from joining in the fun.

All of a sudden, many people came to the stock trading center one after another, and even if they couldn't understand it, they would point and discuss it.

However, the most important thing in Chang'an City is rich people. There are many people who watch the excitement, and there are also many people who want to buy stocks.

Every morning, as soon as the stock trading center opens, a bunch of people flock in, all wanting to be the first to seize the opportunity to buy a few stocks.

……

Zheng's backyard.

Zheng Chengdong is drinking tea.

Zheng Chengdong's mood improved again after Mr. Zheng got on the line of West Datang Company.

So, the extravagant life before continued.

Every day, he drank good tea produced by the West Datang Company, and bought a dozen maids to serve him.

Don't live too comfortably.

At this moment, Zheng Feiyuan walked in.

Zheng Feiyuan came forward, his face was full of joy, and he said: "Father, good news, today, the stock price of Xidatang Company has risen to [-]%."

Zheng Chengdong sat up straight when he heard the words.

He was a little unbelievable.

"Fei Yuan, is what you said true?"

"Father, it's absolutely true, I just came back from the stock trading center." Zheng Feiyuan said with great certainty.

Zheng Chengdong said happily: "Ping Xibo is really a god. I didn't expect this stock, as rumored outside, can make money! Hahaha, so to speak, in just a few days, our Zheng's stock , did nothing, and made a net profit of nearly a thousand?"

Zheng Feiyuan nodded: "That's right, Dad, I've been counted by someone just now, and there are about 900 points!"

Snapped.

Zheng Chengdong patted the table and said happily: "Great, this time, we bet right."

But Zheng Feiyuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Father, it's just that I heard some gossip about stocks recently."

"What gossip?"

"Some of my friends found out that the soaring price of this stock was actually manipulated by the West Datang Company, otherwise it would not have risen by nearly ten cents in just a few days. Many people speculated that within a few days Today, this stock will definitely fall...Father, do you think we should sell the stock in our hands? We will buy it when the stock price bottoms out!" Zheng Feiyuan asked tentatively.

Zheng Chengdong asked curiously: "You mean, the stock price will go up and down?"

Zheng Feiyuan nodded: "This is a practice that has become popular in Chang'an recently. It is euphemistically called stock trading, that is to say, it specializes in buying and selling stocks, selling high and buying low. Once you enter and exit, you can earn a lot of difference. Many merchants, even scholars, Everyone joins in and enjoys it.”

"Stock speculation?"

Zheng Chengdong felt that his brain was not working well.

Such things as stock trading do sound very fresh.

He smacked his lips and said, "Doesn't that mean that in the future, there will be a group of people who don't have to do anything and can make money just sitting in the stock exchange center?"

Zheng Feiyuan nodded and said: "Father, don't wait for later, many people have already done this, and they are earning money every day. Dad, look, should we sell the more than 400 shares in our hands first?"

Zheng Chengdong was a little moved.

But he didn't make a decision right away.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Chengdong said cautiously: "Fei Yuan, after all, we just came out to speculate in stocks, so no one can say for sure. We bought those 400 shares with great difficulty. If we sell them, the stock price will be lower." If it falls back, we will never be able to buy it back. Let’s wait for this matter.”

"Father," Zheng Feiyuan was a little anxious, "The timing waits for no one. When the stock price really drops, there will be no such good opportunities to make money."

"Don't talk about it anymore. My father has already decided on this matter. Let's wait and see before we talk about it." Zheng Chengdong's attitude was very firm.

"Ugh!"

Zheng Feiyuan walked out of the backyard unwillingly.

Come to the vestibule.

There was already a fat man in a blue robe and a soap horn hat waiting for him.

Seeing Zheng Feiyuan, the fat man got up quickly and asked, "Brother Zheng, how about it, can your father agree?"

Zheng Feiyuan shook his head and sighed: "Brother Wang, to tell you the truth, my father is very stubborn and does not agree to sell my Zheng's shares."

The fat man was a little anxious, and said: "Oh, your father is confused, how can you let go of such a good opportunity... I, Wang Qinian, have the deepest research on the stock market, and I can be sure that within five days, the stock price will definitely fall. I'm afraid it will fall below [-], and at that time, your Zheng family will not only lose a good opportunity to make money, but will also suffer heavy losses."

It turned out that the fat man was called Wang Qinian.

Nowadays, stock trading is prevalent in Chang'an City, so a bunch of so-called professionals have emerged.

These people have no stocks and no money, but they are well-informed, so they call themselves experts, and they are responsible for helping others to fiddle with stocks and charge some fees.

There are many such experts.

Wang Qinian is just one of them.

Moreover, Wang Qinian is also Zheng Feiyuan's friend for many years.

This guy came to the door to persuade Zheng to sell all the stocks.

Zheng Feiyuan saw that Wang Qinian's words were firm, so he asked curiously: "Brother Wang, tell me honestly, what kind of news did you find out that you can conclude that the stock price of West Datang Company will fall?"

Wang Qinian looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered: "Brother Zheng, you don't know something. Back then, when His Majesty named Chen Chu, the son-in-law, as Ping Xibo, it was not a final decision, but conditional. The condition is that Ping Xibo will make Shanzhou as prosperous as Lanzhou in two years or so. Think about it, Lanzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It was already extremely prosperous during the Qin and Han Dynasties, but Shanzhou has always been It is unknown, not to mention that after the imperial court brought down Tuyuhun, it was merged into Shanzhou. Shanzhou can be said to be a vast and sparsely populated land, desolate, and occupied by the barbarians from Tuyuhun. This kind of place, in just two or three years, Can it stand shoulder to shoulder with Lanzhou? If not, then all of Ping Xibo's rewards will be withdrawn. Do you know the consequences of this matter?"

Zheng Feiyuan was startled, his eyes widened, and he shook his head: "Brother Wang, please clarify."

Wang Qinian explained: "Brother Zheng, we have known each other for many years, so let me tell you the truth. Once the imperial court takes back Ping Xibo's title and fief, then the West Datang Company will be over. Back then, the West Datang Company was so popular. , Isn’t it because cotton is planted in a large area of ​​Shanzhou? But the fiefdom is taken back, and then, can these lands be used by the West Datang Company? That means that the cotton cloth will definitely be affected in the future, and at the same time, the West Datang Corporation's business in the Western Regions will also be affected, maybe it will plummet."

Hearing this, Zheng Feiyuan was surprised again.

……

Chapter 379 Ping Xibo's title and fief will be taken back?

In the beginning, Li Erfeng Chen Chu as Ping Xibo did have conditions.

However, this is an agreement between the emperor and his courtiers, and it is difficult for outsiders to know.

Even in the court, only the confidant ministers knew about it.

As for how Wang Qinian learned of this, it is intriguing.

Zheng Feiyuan felt that this matter was no small matter.

As we all know, the reason why the stock price of West Datang Company is so high, and the trend has not even stopped, is largely due to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu is the son-in-law, or Ping Xibo.

The word Chen Chu is a huge golden signboard. People believe in Chen Chu, so they are willing to spend money to buy stocks when they don't know much about Xidatang Company.

Once Chen Chu's Earl of Pingxi and that large fief were taken back, many people would be dumbfounded on the spot.

It is foreseeable that by then, the stock price of West Datang Company will definitely drop sharply.

Wang Qinian's words will come true.
