Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1165, Egyptian Canal Listed

Many things about the Egyptian Canal have also been deployed. Next, the Egyptian Canal went public to raise funds, and then started construction of the Egyptian Canal.

For this matter, Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Zhu Houzhao also stayed in Tianjin and began to carry out some planning.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper!"

"The Ming Dynasty intends to build a canal in Egypt to run through the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and name it the Egyptian Canal."

"Once the Egyptian Canal is completed, traveling to and from Europe will become more convenient and safer."

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"The stock market continues to be booming. The Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock has broken through [-] taels of silver, and the stock price of Changlu Salt Farm has risen to [-] yuan!"

"The value of cotton continues to plummet, and cotton production in Tianzhu region has skyrocketed~"

Accompanied by the yelling of the newsboy, the streets and alleys that were sparsely populated due to the cold suddenly came to life, and a large number of people poured out from every corner to gather around the newsboy to buy today's newspapers.

The newspapers were delivered to the hands of young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area. People have become accustomed to drinking morning tea every morning and reading newspapers.

If you don’t read the newspaper every day, you will almost feel uncomfortable all over your body, and you don’t even have a topic to chat with when you go out, and you can’t even chat with people.

"Where is this Egypt?"

"I don't even know about Egypt. This Egypt is in the northeast corner of Africa, and it is located in the transportation core of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa."

"Then why build a canal?"

"Whether you really don't know or you don't know, it's not clearly written in the newspaper."

"Now if my Ming ship wants to go to Europe, it must go around Africa, or go to the Golden Continent. The journey is far away, and the wind and waves are very strong, which is extremely dangerous. Ships have accidents at sea every year."

"If the Egyptian Canal is built to connect the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the distance to Europe will be shorter and the safety will be greatly improved."

"Take the route of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Red Sea. There are land along the way, and the safety is greatly improved. It is very important for our business travel in Daming."

"Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to build the canal?"

"Of course, the newspaper said that it plans to list a new stock on the Tianjin Stock Exchange, called the Egyptian Canal Trading Company, and raise [-] million taels of silver from all Ming people to build the canal."

"Doesn't this mean that another new stock is about to go public?"

"Yes, it is scheduled to be listed on the Lantern Festival. We will have to go there early. It is cheap to buy stocks at the beginning of the listing. They are all one tael of silver per share. You can hold them in your hand for a few months and turn them over. It doesn't matter how many times."

"When the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock was listed, I went to watch the excitement. I brought money and wanted to buy it, but I thought it was worthless so I didn't buy it. My guts regretted it."

"If I had bought the shares of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway at that time, I would have really made a fortune now."

"So, this time, we absolutely can't miss it. Go and exchange the bank notes first, and buy them all when the time comes."

"Can this work?"

"This canal is not in our Ming Dynasty, but in Egypt. This Egypt is not our territory in Ming Dynasty. This money will not be wasted."

"Hey, my brother, you only have a few silvers in your hands. At the top of the sky, it's just a few hundred taels of silver. Compared with twenty million silvers, drizzle is nothing."

"Those major shareholders are not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"What's more, you think our Daming is easy to bully?"

"The king of Egypt has already signed an agreement with us, Da Ming. If they dare to go back on their word, I, Da Ming, will definitely make them look good."

"Boldly buy with confidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy this stock at that time."

"This canal is a good thing."

"Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was notorious for thousands of years, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal still benefits our Ming Dynasty north and south and the areas on both sides of the canal."

"The construction of the canal requires a lot of investment in the early stage, but once it is completed, you will just sit and collect money in the future."

"Yes, yes, that's right~"

"The geographical location of the Egyptian Canal is very critical. When it is completed in the future, just collecting tolls will be enough. This is not a year or two, nor is it ten or twenty years. After a thousand years of collection, buy some shares of the Egyptian Canal, which can be passed down to future generations as a foundation, and you can just eat dividends every year."

"Hearing you say that, I'm really tempted."

"Can this stock really be bought?"

"Oh, forget it, my tongue is dry, do you like to buy it or not, anyway, I have prepared all my family assets, and I am ready to buy the stock of the Egyptian Canal."

"This time we raised [-] million taels of silver, and there are a lot of stocks released, so we will definitely be able to buy some."

"..."

In the streets and alleys of the Beijing-Tianjin area, along with newspaper reports, everyone immediately started discussing things related to Egypt, canals, and stocks.

The importance of the Egyptian Canal is also known by everyone. Coupled with the hot stock market during this period of time, this connection, the old and the young in the Beijing-Tianjin area are not even thinking about the New Year. They are all waiting for the Lantern Festival. Egyptian canals listing things.

The lively New Year is still over.

With the development of Ming Dynasty, the lives of young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area are getting better and better, and the Chinese New Year is getting more and more lively.

Coupled with statutory holidays, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area was full of joy and hustle and bustle.

In the midst of festive celebrations, Hongzhi has come to eighteen years.

As soon as the new year is over, the young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area start to prepare, dig out the gold and silver buried in the cellar, and first go to the Daming First Bank to exchange them for silver notes.

Some bold ones borrow funds from their relatives and friends, and some people sell their real estate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings to raise funds to buy shares in the Egyptian Canal on the Lantern Festival.

As for Tianjin, before the Lantern Festival, Tianjin has become even more lively.

A large number of people poured into Tianjin from the capital city, filling up Tianjin's large and small inns, hotels, etc., and the concrete roads in the Beijing-Tianjin area are covered with four-wheeled carriages that can't be seen at a glance.

At the port of Tianjin, a large number of sea ships have returned, and many big businessmen have also raised a large amount of funds to enter the stock market. Some people even saw people from North Korea and Japan bringing a large amount of gold and silver to Tianjin. It seems to be investing in Daming's stock market.

The Tianjin Stock Exchange is closed during the Chinese New Year, and there are no openings. The Lantern Festival officially opened on the day of the Lantern Festival, which opened the stock market for eighteen years in Hongzhi.

The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, and outside the stock exchange, a large number of people gather every day.

There are old stock investors here, who come here habitually every day, and by the way, brag to their relatives and friends about how much money they have made from the stocks they bought.

More are some curious tourists who come to watch the excitement. The Tianjin Stock Exchange has also become a hot spot in Tianjin and a place where you must check in.

Whether you are a local in Tianjin or a person who travels to Tianjin, you will definitely come here to take a look to see if the legendary Tianjin Stock Exchange is the same as the legendary one, a cornucopia, and more and more money will be born.

The night before the launch of the Egyptian Canal, a large number of people started to line up here.

Ordinary people naturally come to line up in person, and the rich naturally hire people to line up, queuing overnight, which has become a common phenomenon here at the stock exchange.

Whenever a stock is listed, it will attract a large number of people to subscribe and buy, because the new stock will inevitably rise for a period of time, and if you buy it, you will earn it, and it will double the profit. Driven by profit, queuing overnight is not counted. what.

Even though it is cold and windy and snowflakes are falling, thousands of people are queuing up in the square outside the Tianjin Stock Exchange without any fear.

And beside the long dragon, there are people who specially deliver food to them. Around the square, there are also a large number of small vendors who come to set up stalls. The hot dumplings, noodles, and buns are all bought in a blink of an eye. The vendors at these stalls were grinning from ear to ear.

After anxiously waiting, finally came the Lantern Festival.

When the sky was just getting dark, when some people who came from the capital belatedly thought of coming to line up, the long queue outside the Tianjin Stock Exchange had already stretched for a mile or two.

"Notification continues, each person is limited to purchase 100 shares at a time~"

When Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao came to the stock exchange, they looked at the long queue outside, and Liu Jin was dumbfounded. After asking people for a while, they immediately knew that they were all people who had come to subscribe for shares in the Egyptian Canal.

After thinking about it, Liu Jin also gave Huang Jinquan instructions.

The benefits still have to be shared equally, and the people above can’t be eaten up, but some should be reserved for the common people below. There are too many people, so it is natural to limit purchases.

"Clang~clang~"

Soon, with the ringing of bells, the stock market finally opened in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi. A large number of investors who could not wait for a long time entered the exchange in an orderly manner under the maintenance of the security of the exchange. I came to the new stock subscription window here, waiting for the listing of the Egyptian Canal stock.

"IPO of the Egyptian Canal~"

"Because there are too many people buying, in order to take care of everyone, the higher-ups have notified that each purchase is limited to [-] shares per day!"

"Each person is limited to purchase [-] shares at a time~"

Soon, it was time for new shares to go public.

The staff in the exchange also began to shout continuously with their tin horns.

Hearing this voice, the stockholders immediately went crazy, especially some rich people who had worked so hard to prepare bank notes, but now each person is restricted to buy [-] shares at a time. Isn't this nonsense.

But it also brought a lot of cheers, and many people in the back row felt relieved at once, not worrying that they would not be able to buy stocks.
