Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After the applause stopped again, Li Ke beckoned, and a man in his 30s came up beside him.

This is the future chairman of Datang Shipping Commercial Bank.

"This person is called Tian Bolin, and he is the treasurer of Datang Shipping Company, or the chairman can also be said. He will be responsible for all operations of Datang Shipping Company in the future." Li Ke pointed to the person beside him and said, Tian Bolin is They were recommended by Tian Meng. Although they both had the surname Tian, ​​they were not relatives, it was just a coincidence.

Although Tian Bolin seldom appears by Li Ke's side, in fact, all the materials handed over to Tian Meng were sorted out by Tian Bolin before, so he can keep up with Li Ke's thoughts, and he will be in charge of Datang Shipping Company. It is also reasonable, because the next arrangement of Datang Shipping Company is very important, and it is not good for ordinary people to keep up with Li Ke's thinking.

"Let him introduce to you the profit trade of Datang Shipping Company last year." Li Ke said.

"Hello, all shareholders." Tian Bolin walked up to the podium and saluted everyone first, and then said directly with a smile: "After last year's operation, Datang Shipping Commercial Bank achieved huge profits last year. The Shipping Commercial Bank was established. In terms of expenses, the total sales of all shares was 969 million guan, and the total cost in the past year was about 400 million guan.”

"It is mainly used to purchase supplies, buy a large number of new ships, hire and train more sailors, and provide higher monthly payments for some excellent sailors, etc."

"Datang Shipping Co., Ltd. made a total profit of about 2633 million taels of gold and 2633 million taels of silver last year, totaling 1316.5 tons of silver."

"Currently, Datang Shipping Commercial Bank still has about 520 million cash in cash. The firm paid 348 million cash this time, with a balance of 2285 million cash. This time, 285 million cash will be reserved for next year's operating profit, and the remaining 2000 million cash will be directly distributed as dividends." Tian Berlin directly opened his mouth and roughly reported the profits of the entire shipping company last year.

"In addition, if shareholders want to see detailed financial statements, please apply to the shipping company one month in advance, and then print and deliver them to shareholders within about one month."

As Tian Bolin's voice fell, everyone's applause became enthusiastic again. Could he not be enthusiastic?

When investing at the beginning, to be honest, many people only looked at the face of His Highness King Qin, and also for the future.

But who the hell knew that in just one year, one year can almost be described as double the return on investment!In the future, the shares of the entire shipping company will be pure profits!If this profit is changed to later generations, it is estimated that the stock market value will not be a matter of how many daily limit boards, and it is possible to directly double it several times, or even dozens of times.

"Based on 2000 shares, each share can be paid [-] yuan in dividends." Tian Bailin said with a smile, and he was also very happy. Although he didn't have this ambition, who wouldn't be happy if he could make money?

He is the management of the shipping company, and he also owns part of the shares.

"However, in order to facilitate the mutual transfer of shares in Datang Shipping Co., Ltd. and to facilitate future transactions among shareholders, each share of Datang Shipping Co., Ltd. will be split into 100 shares. That is to say, starting today, Datang Shipping Co. The total share capital of the shipping company is 100 million shares, of course, the shares in your hands will increase by 100 times." Tian Bailin explained again.

It is easy for everyone to understand, and probably understand why it is split up like this. Naturally, it is to make it easier for some people to trade.

If there were only 969 shares, one share would have been sold for about 1 guan at the previous auction price, but now, I am afraid that even if one share is sold for [-] guan, no one may sell it.

And if it is divided into 100 million shares, then the value of one share will definitely drop a lot, and it will be easier to trade at that time.

It became possible for some small firms to sell some of their shares.

"Then please come down to announce the relevant information about the distribution of dividends."

After Li Ke stepped onto the podium again, everyone looked at Li Ke eagerly this time. This is not His Highness, but the God of Wealth.

"Where is this place? I believe everyone saw the plaque when they came in. This is Datang Central Bank!"

"What does the Qianzhuang do? It is the place responsible for issuing Datang currency and managing various aspects of Datang's finance in the future. The reason why it is named Qianzhuang is that all its business in the future will be related to money."

"For example, the currency distributed to everyone this time is the banknote that Datang will launch next." Li Ke said.

Following Li Ke's words, a guard immediately behind him pushed a large ppt onto the podium, which was still familiar.

On the top of the ppt are banknotes that have been enlarged and drawn one by one.

上面分别标注了它的额度，最小的为10两，分别是10两、20两、50量、100两以及1000两五种面额。

"With the issuance of banknotes this time, Datang will adopt a plan of mutual circulation of silver and copper banknotes, and the exchange price of silver and copper coins is 1 tael of silver for 1 copper coin." Li Ke said.

"And these banknotes can be exchanged for silver by everyone at the Datang Central Bank at any time."

"Theoretically, I don't want everyone to exchange copper coins, because copper coins are too heavy, and some states may not have enough copper coins in reserve, but there must be enough silver." Li Ke said with a smile on his face.

At the beginning, everyone was a little stunned when they heard paper money. In their minds, can paper be used as money?

But when they heard that these banknotes could be exchanged for silver in the central bank at any time, they probably understood what it meant. It seemed that some merchants immediately thought of the exchange vouchers from the previous mall.

Many people here have exchange coupons. Once this banknote appears, isn't it equivalent to another exchange coupon?

It's just that the previous exchange coupons are equivalent to storing money in Youjian Mall, which is supported by the credit of His Royal Highness King Qin.

But now the banknotes are exchanged by the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty, the court of the Tang Dynasty and the treasury.

The money bank just provides a platform for exchange.

"By the way, in order to avoid the conflict between exchange coupons and currency, after the banknotes are launched, Youjian Mall will no longer issue new exchange coupons, and all the original exchange coupons will be replaced with banknotes after recycling, or members You can go directly to a shopping mall and exchange it for banknotes.”

"Now pay dividends!" Following Li Ke's words, the trolleys were pushed out directly, and stacks of printed Datang's first batch of banknotes were neatly arranged on them.

The only thing that these banknotes can compare with the banknotes of later generations is the paper material. Compared with later generations, the printing is terrible, but compared with this era, it is extremely delicate.
