Chapter 148 Terminally Ill Boy, Take the Lead to Get Rich

After Chu Qiguang endured the torment of illness and presided over the road show, the stock price of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce rose rapidly like a rocket. A large number of cotton merchants from other places came to Qingyang County to inspect the hydraulic textile machine, and then watched the road show , and then start acquiring shares.

Even folks have begun to raise funds to buy stocks, and several families pooled money together just to buy a share.

Looking at the stock price rising all the way, the people in Qingyang County seem to be crazy, everyone dreams of a future of getting rich overnight and making money lying down.

The stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce broke through 30 taels, 40 taels and finally stopped at 46 taels.

Then Chu Qiguang announced the stock split in order to give back to the market and the support of the elders in his hometown. The original share changed from 1 share to 100 shares, and the stock price changed from 46 taels to 1 cents and 4 cents a share.

The total market capitalization of the shares has not changed, but the purchase price per share has been greatly reduced.

On the day of the stock split, the entire Qingyang County went crazy. Even ordinary people who were just onlookers were eligible to join in. In the entire county, from the rich and powerful, to the traffickers...almost everyone had to go out. Word shares.

After that, Chu Qiguang took Wu Wei, Chen Zhu, Chen Gang, Wang Cailiang, several craftsmen and new machines to Beiyuefu City, and held a three-day road show under the torture of illness.

On the third day of the road show, Chu Qiguang entered the fifth realm of Taoism.

And the entire Beiyue Mansion seemed to be on fire because of the storm brought by Chu Qiguang.

……

Yongan 16 years, early January.

He Wenyan, the county magistrate of Qingyang County, led a team of guards to the busiest West Street in the county, and saw a sea of ​​people gathered on the street, all staring in the direction of a small two-story building.

There used to be a silver shop in the county seat of Qingyang County, which was bought by the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, specializing in share transactions.

A huge sign was hung outside the gate of the exchange, with 9 cents and 9 cents written in red letters on it.

But at this moment, the signboard was being replaced by someone, and the new signboard was put up with the words 1 tael on it.

Seeing this word, all the onlookers present cheered.

But He Wenyan waved his hand, and directly sent his guards up, pushed the crowd away, and surrounded the exchange.

Wang Cailiang from the exchange came out, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "The county lord actually brought someone here himself. I am really thankful."

He Wenyan, the county magistrate, said: "This official is the parent official of Qingyang County. If someone is causing trouble in the downtown area, it is natural to take care of it."

Wang Cailiang immediately ordered the clerks behind him to pull out the big guys: "It's just a few of them who made fake bills, wanted to pretend to be shares, and made trouble at the door of the store. They didn't know that every share of ours was registered by someone. Are they right? The identity was checked out immediately.”

With a wave of He Wenyan's hand, he told people that these troublemakers were taken down to torture them, and the rest of the guards stayed at the scene to help maintain order in the trading center.

Wang Cailiang welcomed He Wenyan in, and now Chu Qiguang's shares have all been transferred to Wang Cailiang's name, and all the new exchanges here have also been handed over to Wang Cailiang and accountants sent by the Wu family, the Hao family, and the Taoist temple. Managed together, there are hundreds of people in front and back, and they can barely handle the daily share transactions.

He Wenyan walked in with Wang Cailiang, and couldn't help frowning on the way: "Nowadays, everyone in Qingyang County talks about stocks, and the people don't do production. They just want to buy stocks all day long, and get rich overnight. antiquity."

"Look, these unscrupulous people are making a lot of troubles all day long, and they have all come to your shop."

Wang Cailiang smiled, recalling what Chu Qiguang once said to him in his memory, and tried to explain: "So much money is gathered here, it's normal for someone to have a wrong idea."

"But it is only by pooling money that big things can be done. Now Qingyang County uses the entire county to do textiles. In the future, textile factories will be everywhere. Not only will the factories need workers to do repairs, handling, rinsing, cutting hemp, picking hemp, handyman and so on. work."

"There will be a lot of supporting work outside the factory, such as port handling, long-distance transportation, printing and dyeing, tailoring, embroidery, canteen, accessories, cotton..."

"Nowadays, the land annexation in Qingyang County is getting more and more serious, and a large number of people in the villages have no land to farm. But when there are more factories in the future, they can at least go to the city to work, and they will not become refugees."

After hearing what Wang Cailiang said, He Wenyan shook his head secretly: "Then you shouldn't sell the shares to these ordinary people, you should only sell them to people with fame, otherwise these unscrupulous people only want to buy shares to make a fortune, I think they Farming the land and raising chickens are all exhausting..."

In He Wenyan's view, farmers should farm well instead of going to the city to work. This will only increase his workload and risks.

but……

Wang Cailiang said in a low voice: "Brother Chu specifically told me that the county lord has always cared about the people of Qingyang, and he also wanted to contribute to the textile industry in the county. So he specially asked me to reserve 1000 shares for you, the county lord."

He Wenyan nodded when he heard the words: "The imperial court has always asked the people in the north to grow cotton in order to boost the cotton textile industry in the north. Now that the textile industry in Qingyang County is booming, I, as the parent official of Qingyang County, naturally have to give my full support. "

"I will stay here for the guards outside. If anyone makes trouble again, you can just inform them."

……

"How much has it gone up?"

"1 tael, abbot, it has risen to 1 tael."

Hearing this, Abbot Chenzhu smiled all over his face, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

During this period of time, his favorite thing to do every day was to send his subordinate Dao Tong to check the stock price. He often enjoyed it and asked more than ten times a day.

Daoist Fayuan said with emotion: "The original 1 taels has now become 40 taels. I have never seen such an easy way to make money in my life. This Chu Qiguang has great talent."

Chen Zhu said: "It's more than just silver. Now the entire Qingyang County and half of Beiyue Mansion are all tied to these two hydraulic looms owned by Chu Qiguang. Now who dares to stop him from weaving? Who can stop him from doing it?" Business?"

At this moment, the Taoist boy under him came up and said: "Abbot, Mr. Chu is here."

Chen Zhu waved for Dao Tong to bring people up, and at the same time said to Fa Yuan: "There are two things this time, one is that Chu Qiguang wants to exchange some of his shares for Qibao Pills, I have already agreed, and I have contacted them these days. The other Taoist temples in Beiyue Mansion were gathered together."

"Another thing is that Chu Qiguang seems to be going away. He said that during this period of time, there are always some sneaky people outside the textile workshop. You take a team there to guard day and night, and you are not allowed to let a little Mao go. Thieves go in."

Fa Yuan was stunned and said, "This...isn't that good? What about the morning and evening classes in Guanli every day?"

Chen Zhu said: "Morning and evening classes are more important, or is our workshop more important? You have to do your best to keep it well, and never let people ruin things. As for morning and evening classes, I approve that you don't have to do them during this period. I remember, this Daoist is in your heart, not in the morning class and evening class."
