Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1506, Daming Stock Market

West Africa is in full swing, but the Beijing-Tianjin area of ​​the Ming Dynasty is as prosperous, busy, and lively as ever. Even though it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter and heavy snow is falling, none of this can affect the prosperity and excitement of the Beijing-Tianjin area in the slightest.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the factories, workshops, etc. in the Beijing-Tianjin area are also preparing to start the annual holiday. The festive red has begun to adorn the streets and alleys of the entire capital, and vendors, big and small, are all working hard. Get ready for the big shopping spree before Chinese New Year.

As for the large and small commercial firms, factories, workshops, etc. in the capital, the accountants have also become extremely busy. The year-end bonus needs to be calculated and approved one by one, and the silver is ready to be distributed to everyone.

What's more important is how much money commercial firms, factories, workshops, etc. have been busy for a whole year. This must be clearly calculated. This is related to the owner's plan for the New Year and next year.

For those firms and factories listed on the Tianjin Stock Exchange, the year-end report and year-end dividends are extremely important matters.

How much money the firm has earned in a year and how much it can distribute to shareholders as dividends are all major issues related to the rise and fall of the stock price, as well as the reputation of the firm.

Whether a firm is trustworthy or not depends on whether you can pay dividends to shareholders. A good firm pays dividends every year, and the more you divide, the higher the share price will be.

Poor business firms lose money year after year, and their signboards have to be smashed. In this era of reputation and reputation, reputation is worth a thousand dollars. Even the Zhang brothers, who have always been arrogant and domineering, will lose their Burmese jadeite firm by the end of the year. Take out large and large sums of real money to distribute dividends to shareholders.

Even according to the number of shares they own, they also sent jadeite from Myanmar as a thank-you gift for their support and care to the Myanmar Jadeite Firm all the time.

Therefore, at the end of the year, young and old in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area are talking about stock dividends.

After all, national affairs are ideals, and things related to one's own money are the most immediate interests.

Here at the Tianjin Stock Exchange, it has become more lively than before. There is a long queue at the dividend window, and a large number of stocks line up here with stock certificates and ID cards to receive their own investment dividends.

"Old Wang, are you here to receive the dividend too?"

"Yeah, Lao Li, how is it going? How much can you divide this year?"

"Hey, don't mention it, the Xianglin Sugar Industry I bought last year received more than [-] taels of silver, but this year I can only get less than [-] taels of silver, and the stock price is [-] taels at the time. One share of silver, and now it has fallen to five taels of silver per share, I am so pissed off, I am going to sell it after the Chinese New Year.”

"I also bought Xianglin Sugar, but I don't understand why it's getting worse every year?"

"This year, all the stocks in the sugar industry have fallen miserably, and their profits have also dropped a lot. The main reason is that the production of sugar has soared, and the price of sugar has dropped a lot, so the profits are naturally not as good as before."

"A few years ago, the sugar was so expensive that we ordinary people couldn't afford it at all, but look at it now, the sugar is much cheaper and the common people can afford it, which is why the sugar stock is not good. .”

"What you said is still reasonable. Even Liuqiu Sugar's dividend this year is not as good as last year's, and the stock price has dropped a bit, let alone other sugar stocks."

"Yes, yes~"

"Brother, what stock did you buy?"

"The Nanyun wine industry I bought, that is, a wine making business, has a good profit this year, and every ten shares will pay a dividend of three taels of silver~"

"I know about Nanyun Liquor Industry. It seems to have doubled this year."

"It's not bad, it's not bad, the main reason is that we Daming people like to drink this wine now, the grape wine luminous cup, and in the past two years, all the wine-making firms in my Daming business have been very hot, and the market is very good."

"It's a pity. I wanted to buy it at the beginning of the year. Later, I heard people say that the imperial court intends to control the wine making industry. I thought it was risky and I didn't buy it."

"I remember something like that. At that time, some officials in the DPRK and China said that winemaking consumes a lot of food, and food is related to the stability of the country, so they told the emperor that the development of the winemaking industry should be restricted."

"Isn't this nonsense? What era is this? How can my Ming Dynasty be short of food now? The grain produced in Liaodong is enough for our entire Ming Dynasty to eat."

"That's right, so in the end the emperor didn't pay attention to it. My Daming's food can't be eaten up. I don't make wine or feed pigs. Is it possible to keep it to rot?"

"What's more, Nanyun Wine Industry mainly uses grapes to make wine. Hehe, I also received a bottle of wine in the mail. It tastes really good. You can buy it and try it."

"You can pay dividends more or less. The Egyptian Canal stock I bought is miserable. I haven't received a penny until now. I can only watch you count the silver bills here."

"You have the nerve to tell me how many times the stock price of the Egyptian Canal has risen, more than two hundred taels of silver per share. If you bought it when it was first issued, it has increased by more than two hundred times. What else is there to be satisfied with? of."

"Yes, yes, and I heard that the Egyptian canal has almost been dug, and it will be able to go together next year or the next year, and it will definitely rise again by then."

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay~"

The speaker laughed extremely happily. What he was most proud of was that he sold hundreds of shares of the Egyptian Canal stock at the beginning, and he still holds it until now. The several hundred taels of silver a few years ago are now worth nearly ten Ten thousand taels of silver.

"Which one do you think is the demon king stock this year?"

While talking, someone asked, anyway, it was boring to line up, so naturally we wanted to discuss it for a while.

"If you want me to tell you, it must be the Black Sea Commercial Bank. The Black Sea Commercial Bank occupies [-]% of the slave trade around the Black Sea. At the beginning of this year, it was only five taels of silver per share, and now it has risen to more than one hundred taels of silver per share. It has doubled by [-] times, it is definitely the demon king stock of this year~"

"I've also heard about the Black Sea Commercial Bank. It's really rising outrageously. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it hasn't stopped. It has doubled twenty times a year. It's really scary. A friend of mine bought the stock of this Black Sea Commercial Bank. Get rich overnight."

"I regretted it to death. When I bought stocks, I chose between Black Sea Commercial Bank and Beijing Ginseng, and I bought Beijing Ginseng. The price of Jinjinzhou Ginseng plummeted, and the stock didn't rise much. At the end of this year, ten shares will be distributed as dividends. It's only a tael of silver, it's a blood loss."

"Hey, I also bought Northern Ginseng. I thought this ginseng was valuable, but who knows that it is better than carrots now. I also received a Northern Ginseng yesterday."

"There is no way to sell slaves to make money selling ginseng, and it takes time for ginseng to grow slowly after harvesting. This slave is different. It's a sale that changes hands."

"A white slave was bought from the Ottoman Empire or the Crimean Tatars for only a dozen taels of silver, but once he changed hands, he couldn't easily earn more than a dozen taels of silver?"

"Yeah, so the stock of the Black Sea Trading Company has been rising."

"If you want me to tell you, the one with the biggest increase must be Nanyang Rubber!"

"Nanyang rubber?"

"Don't you have this stock?"

"Yeah, I don't think there is such a stock."

"There is no such stock now, but everyone should have heard about the skyrocketing price of rubber, right?"

"I heard, I heard, didn't the newspaper say that the price of this bucket of rubber has now risen to more than [-] taels of silver."

"More than fifty taels of silver per barrel. That was a few days ago. In the past two days, it has risen again. A barrel of rubber is now selling for hundreds of taels of silver."

"What the hell is this rubber?"

"One barrel costs hundreds of taels of silver. Wouldn't it be possible to arrive at a house in Tianjin with more than a dozen barrels?"

"Yes, yes, what is this rubber and why is it worth so much?"

"You know about bicycles, don't you?"

"I know~"

"Everyone has seen the tires of bicycles. The tires of this bicycle are made of rubber, and rubber tires are also popular for carriages now."

"This rubber, it is a kind of sap secreted by rubber trees, which is similar to the resin of pine trees."

"It turns out that's the case, so it's no wonder that bicycles and carriages are so popular now, among other things, carriages with rubber tires are much better than before, not only comfortable, but also more durable. "

"Isn't that right, and this bicycle, since it came out last year, has become very popular this year. I heard that there are already dozens of bicycle factories in the Beijing and Tianjin areas that are planning to set up."

"I also invested in a bicycle factory. The investment was not much, just tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"Hey, when the bicycle factory is listed, you are the original stock, but you will release it."

"Haha, it's still a shadow now. Although the bicycle looks simple, it is actually very technical, and it is not so easy to build."

"Because of the rapid popularity of bicycles, if young people don't have a bicycle, they can't go out with their friends. The price of this bicycle has also risen again and again. The price of the rubber used to make tires is naturally high. It skyrocketed."

"The key point is that the output of this rubber is very low. It takes seven or eight years for rubber trees to produce rubber. Now there is only a small amount of output in Nanyang and Nanjinzhou. Do you think its price will rise to the sky? .”

"In that case, wouldn't it be very cost-effective to plant rubber trees? I have a plantation in Nanyang. I don't make money growing sugarcane. It should be possible to plant rubber instead."

"It's too late now. I heard that the seedlings of the rubber trees are also rising to the sky."

"There is no rubber here. Aren't these bicycle factories going to die?"

"Is there any other way, I can only spend money to buy it~"

　There seems to be such a tradition in Japan. At the end of each year, listed companies will send some of their own products to their shareholders~~
