The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1270

[1270. Chapter 1210: Making a lot of money]

a Lot of Money Wang Bushi said three million taels of silver in an understatement.

In fact… he wasn’t worried at all. His Majesty was suspicious of his money.

Because…this is all upright money, and every amount has a legitimate source.

What’s even more frightening is that the money was earned in the most popular way for the royal family and the Fang family.

The emperor and the Fang family encouraged people to buy mansions, and he bought them and made a lot of money.

The emperor and the Fang family encouraged people to invest in workshops, and he bought it and also made a lot of money.

If Your Majesty can’t even tolerate this legitimate money, and even covets his own wealth, then in the future, who will dare to take out real money and invest it in these places.

Three million taels of silver, even for Wang Bushi, is not small money.

This is the largest amount of cash he can get in addition to fixed assets.

And these, in his opinion… Fang Jifan has great ambitions. This railway bureau is not just as simple as building a railway, but wants to create a new way of playing. Compared with this new model, a railway Game is simply not worth mentioning.

Therefore, this railway bureau must be profitable, because the Fang family will definitely support it. What is this called? This is called standing in a tree for trust.

It’s just that… when it comes to this, it’s like completely talking to death.

Emperor Hongzhi found that he seemed to have nothing to ask.

You asked him if this thing was good, and he said yes, it was extremely good, and he spent three million taels of silver to support it.

What else is there to say? Inflation, dividends, and models are all fake. It’s useless to ask, because… when you meet such a financial expert who risks his life and fortune to support you, you no longer need to ask him whether Whatever the reason is, you just believe it, why are you so long-winded?

In later generations, there was another kind of expert. They talked eloquently about one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Everyone went to buy it, and they went to buy it. In the end, he didn’t buy it himself…

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “In this way, if I buy some , you will definitely not lose money?”

Wang Bushi said, “Your Majesty will think about it.”

Emperor Hongzhi said, “In that case, I understand, please leave first.”

Wang Bushi bowed and resigned.

Emperor Hongzhi tapped the documents and fell into deep thought.

He pondered, chewing on Wang Bushi’s words, and suddenly said: “This Wang Bushi is quite interesting.”

“Yes.” Xiao Jing mentioned Wang Bushi, his eyes shining: “He has money, he often He raised money from donations, and he spent a lot of money at several charity halls in Beijing, and he also spent money on disabled craftsmen… I heard that he spent hundreds of thousands of taels last year alone. “

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath of cold air.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Go to Xishan Bank and withdraw a sum of internal funds, five million…”

Xiao Jing shivered with fright: “Five million?”

Emperor

Hongzhi said sharply: “What are you talking about? Go quickly.”

Don’t hesitate.

Your Majesty used to be hesitant and hesitant about everything he did, but now he is much more generous.

In the past few years, a lot of money was made from internal funds.

But now, isn’t it necessary to build a steamship fleet? That guy named Tang Yin, the lion opened his mouth, got money from internal funds, and spent the money like running water.

But His Majesty knew very well that the steam fleet was of great importance. Although he was reluctant to give up, he still endured the pain and asked Tang Yin to give him as much as he wanted.

Five million is not a small amount. If it is messed up, the king will definitely be doomed.

………

Wang Bushi returned to the Hanlin Academy.

Now, he is already a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and if he goes one step further, he will be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. It can be said that he has a prosperous official career.

However, he had always been incompatible with the Hanlin Academy, but he had some common topics with the opposite Academy of Sciences, especially some of the financial and economic academicians in the Academy. When he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he returned to his room and sat there dumbly. Stay and drink tea.

Life can actually be very pleasant, so why bother fighting with others for a little bit of power?

If you have such leisure, it is better to read and refresh your mind.

He closed his eyes and said nothing.

However, when someone saw him coming back from the meeting, several officials came and said with a smile: “Scholar Wang, I wonder why your majesty summoned you?”

These officials like to inquire about the emperor’s movements.

Wang Bushi said: “It’s because of the railway bureau stock issue in the trading center.”

“Yeah, that one? That one is Fang and Ouyang Zhi, who took the opportunity to extort people’s property. This Fang succeeded the vassal and collected money. The methods are really endless, haha, whoever buys them will be stupid.”

Everyone laughed.

We are all smart people. It is obvious that Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi’s methods are nothing but empty tricks. Why can’t everyone see it?

Wang Bushi took a deep look at these people who were laughing together, and his eyes were filled with sympathy.

Then, Wang Bushi said calmly: “I bought it…”

Suddenly… the room became cold and silent.

Bachelor Wang… bought it.

Damn it…

Many fell silent.

At the beginning, how many times did I regret not listening to Master Wang’s words, and how many opportunities to make a fortune were missed.

Many people’s bodies were shaken and their eyes were shining.

“I…I’m taking leave to go…”

“I…I’m going too…”

Many people were anxious.

Those who definitely want to earn money, believe it, Master Wang. Those who don’t believe it are just like them, still carrying a mortgage that makes people breathless, and living increasingly poorer.

Wang Bushi smiled: “It’s too late.”

“Too late?” Everyone looked at Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi took a sip of tea slowly: “I think it must be too late, and His Majesty must have already taken action. The railway bureau only has a total of 15 million shares, and only 10 million shares have been released for sale. I have three million. Your Majesty will only make more, not less. I am afraid that the rest will have been snapped up by others. It is a pity that you are late. If you were an hour earlier, you might… have a chance

. Oh, your majesty… how can you compete with the people for profit?” Some people beat their chests and fell down.

The others were silent…

comforting themselves, thinking… it’s not a big deal.

Even if this thing is sold out, how much is it worth?

Can you still play with flowers?

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!

……………

Trading Center.

In an instant, all eight million shares were sold out.

As soon as these eight million shares were sold, some big trading houses began to receive some insider information, and so… in just a moment, the remaining two million shares were sold out.

All of a sudden…

the people who were still stopping to watch and point were now… a little confused.

No more…

but some people are unwilling to do so.

With so many people buying in such large quantities, it must be profitable.

Ever since, some people started to want to buy some for fun.

But at this time, these stocks are not something you can buy if you want.

Even if someone has started to put it up for purchase, with only one or two taels of silver, or one, two or three taels of silver, they still can’t buy it.

At this time, whoever had this stock in hand would be able to earn hundreds of millions of profits in the blink of an eye, but… the purchase information quickly disappeared, because… no one was willing to sell it.

Immediately afterwards, news was released one by one.

Rumor has it that this railway is mainly focused on freight transportation.

The freight cost of this railway is low and the loading capacity is large. It is also the most popular line between Baoding, Tongzhou and Beijing. Once completed, those steam cars will transport countless goods back and forth. Think about it. , there are so many interests behind this.

In addition, the railway bureau also owns land for 31 stations along the coast. If the land for these stations is operated for something else in the future, how much profit will there be.

People began to spread rumors more and more mysteriously.

As a result, people who realize it later become confused.

If anyone can get hold of this thing, as long as it can be completed, it will be a hugely profitable business.

Signs asking for purchase were put up one after another.

…

Emperor Hongzhi was dancing with joy at this time.

He specially arranged eunuchs to go to the trading center at any time.

The eunuch went crazy and came back to report: “Your Majesty, it’s gone up, it’s gone up, it’s already one, two or five cents.”

“Ah…” Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: “In the blink of an eye, I earned… two cents. “More than one million taels of silver.”

Early the next morning, it had risen to one or two and six cents. According to this trend, it is feared that it will rise even more.

Emperor Hongzhi… had seen such a game for the first time. He was so excited that he didn’t sleep all night. He found that he couldn’t calculate his wealth even with the abacus beads, because his wealth was changing at any time.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were summoned to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: “What kind of tricks are you two guys playing… Ahem… Successor, do you know that yesterday I…”

“I know, I congratulate Your Majesty, Your Majesty has such good taste. .” Fang Jifan said with admiration.

In his heart, he was thinking that this was just wealth on paper. The reason why it soared was because there were very few stocks circulating in the world and they were all bought by big bankers. Your Majesty has the ability to buy five million stocks at once. Sell them all and give them a try. If you are sure they will fall, Your Majesty will immediately issue an order to kill the whole family of our successor.

What left Fang Jifan most speechless was that when he was asked to withdraw money from the treasury, he refused to do so. Now that he was asked to buy stocks, he was quite enthusiastic about the purchase.

This… Your Majesty looks not like a human king, but like a stock investor, with a little green floating on his head.

Of course, in this world, it has always been about buying up and not down.

The important thing is that Baoding Prefecture now has money to build the railway.

As the project progresses, these stocks will continue to grow unless there is a huge negative event.

Emperor Hongzhi was still immersed in this joy. Nine times out of ten, people who play stocks are like this. Once the stocks soar, they start not to regard money as money.

After all, uncle, I am a person who earns several taels of silver every minute. Suddenly, I started to swell, and I no longer take small money seriously.

Emperor Hongzhi clasped his hands behind his back and walked a few steps: “The construction of this railway must be done quickly and without delay. I am an investor and I have spent money. If you are negligent, I will not be lenient.”
