As expected by the Ministry of Finance, the first day of the sale of Jingxi Railway Co., Ltd., the share price of one yuan was raised to 2.8 yuan by merchants from all over the world.

Shanghai is no longer the dilapidated small county town, the city wall has long been pushed down, and the Shanghai county government has leniently collected land and money.

It turns out that as long as the civilians who live in Shanghai have a small yard, they also sold their small yard at a sky-high price amid the crazy increase in land prices.

Several major consortiums have no shortage of people with sharp vision. On the first day of the completion of the exchange, they began to build their own Shanghai Guild Hall.

Less than three hundred meters away from the exchange, the Shanxi Association covering an area of ​​20 acres.

"They are deliberately making things difficult for us! 2.8 yuan per share, how many years will it take for them to earn back?"

What the prospectus said is clear, with a total investment of 30 million yuan, the imperial court held 60% of the shares and sold for 40%.

It is expected that the construction time will take three years and after it is opened to traffic, it will take ten years to recover the cost.

From the perspective of currency investment, this is definitely a loss-making transaction.

But can this monopoly business be calculated in this way of calculating the return on investment?

This is obviously an opportunity to control the lifeline of the Northwest. Whoever has the right to speak on this line will gain an advantage in the business of the Northwest.

Otherwise, everyone would be crazy, and it was obvious that the railway's stock price was relatively high now, and they still had to push up desperately, just to make things difficult for Shanxi merchants, and then they also wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in the northwest.

The president was angry, and the others didn't say anything, but there was a man holding a big bowl of noodles next to him, whisking constantly.

Everyone, including the president, looked helpless, but they had no intention of being disgusting or angry.

This person with a verbal face is not simple. His surname is Zhang and his name is Jia Zheng. He is the eldest son of Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant of the Wanli Dynasty.

This old man is in his seventies, but he is healthy and quick-moving. He can't compare to young people when eating every day.

Now I am writing articles at home and reading books. This time, the Beijing West Line is too important to Shanxi, so the Chamber of Commerce asked someone to invite the old man out to be a stabilizing needle, and then prepare to be a lobbyist at a critical moment.

A group of people were waiting for him to finish the dough. The old man took the handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped his mouth, took another sip of tea, and rinsed it in his mouth.

No matter how anxious I waited, no one dared to show his hesitation. Finally, I heard the old man speak: "You have so many people who know how to grab these 40%, but I don't know how to unite and let our ruler get a little more part of it?"

Everyone waited patiently until he spoke, but they didn't expect that it was such a thing, and everyone was cursing.

Do you think it was the time when the consortium instructed the controlled officials to jointly put pressure on the court, and could dig out the interests of the court and divide them all completely.

Anyone who dares to do this now is afraid that the whole family will die.

Lord, times have changed.

Although he was dissatisfied, the old man's family was too powerful. His father was the former chief minister and his uncle was the former Minister of Personnel. In the current Ming Dynasty officialdom, he was older and more or less related to these two people.

He also lived like a Shanxi mascot, and the president did not dare to offend him.

Moreover, the word "unity" he said was very inspiring, and he immediately smiled: "What the old man said is that we are confused. I will ask someone to contact other companies. Everyone always needs to find a solution, so that the court can take advantage of it in vain."

Bai Peiyuan, president of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, treats guests, and the other presidents all want to give face.

Everyone is in the mall, and they fight to the death in private, and they have to live on the big side.

All these presidents are in charge in Shanghai, so there is no need to send telegrams all over the world.

"10% of the family? Absolutely not possible. We, Shanxi, can eat up all the 12 million shares by ourselves."

Bai Peiyuan suppressed his anger and rejected President Wu's proposal.

"You give me the Beijing West Line in your hand, and we, Shanxi, will not interfere with the Beijing-Guangzhou Line."

If you don’t give me benefits, can you still expect them not to eat meat? Bai Peiyuan’s benefit is that he does not interfere in the Beijing-Guangzhou Line.

In his opinion, that is the essence of the Ming Dynasty. Don’t worry about the poor places like yourself.

"Yes, but all the shares in our hands are settled in three yuan!"

The other three companies received satisfactory answers and finally made a fortune.

As the contract party, Chongzhen likes to run to Li Bin's office when he has nothing to do. I don't know if he wants to see if Li Bin is lazy or the Ming traffic planning map on the wall of Li Bin's office.

When he arrived at the office, Li Bin was smiling and watching the video sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The angle of the pinhole camera on the briefcase is not very good, but the sound recorded by the four briefcases is very clear.

"Your Majesty, come and hear how they dug up the corners of the Ming Dynasty."

Needless to say, all the big figures in the Ming Dynasty were installed with pinhole cameras on the briefcase by agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The ones with memory cards were turned back and found an opportunity and just pull the memory card back.

This behavior is usually once every few days, and it is because of this that I did not notice the stock market raid of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The meeting between leaders of several major consortiums was a major event. The agents drew the storage card that night to see what they discussed.

Chongzhen was no longer surprised by his sneaky methods. He sat down on the sofa, preparing to see what Li Bin was doing.

After hearing a few words, Chongzhen's face turned dark: "That's how they are, they are dividing the Ming Dynasty behind their backs?"

Li Bin still smiled: "Or what? Life is not as good as before, so I can only think of this way. It's better than them getting together and having other bad ideas."

Seeing that he was still indifferent, Chongzhen didn't even bother to make a fuss: "Aren't you afraid that they would mess up the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Bin handed a cup of coffee to Chongzhen and took a sip himself.

This is authentic Hawaiian coffee. When Zhou Yun took his people to Hawaii to clean up the territory, he found it for him according to Li Bin's request.

Seeing that he seemed to be very happy to drink, Chongzhen took a sip himself: "What is this? It's bitter and astringent!"

Li Bin looked at Chongzhen's uncomfortable look and smiled in his heart: "Coffee, I specially found it from overseas to refresh our minds. In the future, we will have another drink in addition to drinking tea."

Chongzhen put the cup on the table and said, "Forget it, I'm not used to this thing. What should I do if you haven't said you're going to do it."

Li Bin said in surprise: "What should I do if I'm not prepared? Now they are willing to contribute money and support the transportation construction of the Ming Dynasty. This is a good thing. If someone invests real money, they should get benefits, otherwise why should others play with us?"

Chongzhen was so angry that his veins stormed: "They are dividing the Ming Dynasty."

Li Bin sat next to Chongzhen: "It's not that serious, just 40% of the railway line shares. And you haven't read the Ming Railway Act introduced by this prospectus? If they can't take advantage of it, at most they will have some convenience."

There was a little smirk on his face: "And we took all the Beijing West Line this time at a premium. We were originally planning to raise 12 million start-up capital with 40% of the shares, but they forced 25 million into us, and the court made a lot of money."

Chongzhen's voice changed: "What do you mean is that as long as the court pays 5 million, it will have 60% of the shares in the West Beijing Line?"

"Yes, otherwise why would you say you're making a big profit?"

Li Bin cheated people once or twice, and he had been accustomed to it for a long time. Chongzhen had never taken advantage of this in his life, and his eyes rolled up.

After thinking about it, I didn't expect any good idea and grabbed Li Bin's arm: "Please think about it. I have four sons and one daughter. Can I do this too, and it's better to save more industries with them?"

Li Bin was too lazy to think about such a broken thing: "Selling royal licenses, what a simple thing!"

It took twenty minutes to explain the meaning of the royal franchise to Chongzhen. Chongzhen almost glared at him: "According to your opinion, our royal family uses the merchant's goods, not only does not pay money, but the merchant returns us money?"

"Yes, and it's available every year. It must be the best goods on the market. He also asked him to cry and beg and pay for his Majesty."

Finally, Li Bin added: "Your Majesty, the times have changed."

Chongzhen felt that he had lived in vain for the first half of his life, and he was wearing a broken dragon robe. It was so shameful for the emperor to do this.

"Hmph, please help me with this matter. And your car, carriage soap and laundry detergent, do you also have to pay a little royalty?"

Li Bin almost pushed him out of his office. Who is this person? What's the idea he came up with to cheat him?

"Impossible, all the products we provide to the royal family are unique, unless His Majesty doesn't want to use them, otherwise no one else can provide them except us."

Chongzhen was so angry that his eyes turned black by this straight man, and he turned around and left.

What are luxury goods sold? Brand!

How did the brand come about? Time is piled up. Reliable quality over time, constantly improving technology, and introducing new designs all require time to accumulate.

Li Bin didn't want his future empire to overwhelm the world, but he still had to spend a lot of money to buy luxury goods from small countries.

Now, helping these merchants build brand awareness. Whether they can become aristocratic brands for hundreds of years depends on themselves.

The secretariat became larger and larger. The secretariat of more than 200 people drew a dozen people to organize a special product investment promotion meeting for the Ming Dynasty royal family. In one month, Chongzhen got the job done.

Based on insurance, each merchant only signed a one-year contract for the first year.

Moreover, in order to expand his influence, Li Bin specially designated five merchants for cosmetics, shoes, bags, clocks, clothing, and underwear.

Within this year, Chongzhen and his wife and children could only choose the corresponding products from these merchants.

If you want to renew your signature, the first condition is that you cannot have quality problems that damage the reputation of the royal family or the reputation of the business.

All royal suppliers require their own brands registered with the Ministry of Commerce, and they also need to develop new products every year for royal family to choose from.

Li Bin did everything he could think for them, and Chongzhen happily received more than one million franchise fee.
Chapter completed!
