Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 957 Fundraising, Crazy Capital (Fifth Watch)
The story of Li Jinde, a seafaring hero, has been circulated in the market for a period of time. He became a well-known figure in the capital, and the people began to be interested in the "golden land" on the other side of the ocean.

At the same time, the preparatory work of Western trading companies is taking advantage of this "Western fever" in full swing.

The first thing Western Trading Company does before its establishment is financing. Funds raised from the private sector will be used as start-up capital. Tentatively, 100 million shares will be issued, each worth 1 tael of silver.The government subscribed for 60 shares in advance, the seafaring hero Li Jinde subscribed for 3 shares, and the remaining 37 shares were issued to the public.Anyone can buy Western Trading Company, but a person cannot directly or indirectly hold more than 3 shares, otherwise the part exceeding 3 shares will be confiscated according to law.

The public can buy shares of Western Trading Company at Kyushu Bank Head Office and its branches and become shareholders of Western Trading Company!
Become shareholders of western trading companies, if the value of the company increases, they can resell their shares to make a profit.In addition to value-added, it can also obtain dividends from the net profit of Western trading companies every year.The better the development of Western trading companies, the more profitable their current investment will be in the future!

Businessmen from all over the world, especially maritime merchants, were the first to respond. They learned about the financing of Western trading companies through the local government, and began to weigh the pros and cons of investing in Western trading companies.

If you invest in a western company, you can benefit from trade profits. If the trade fails, the company will go bankrupt and lose everything, which has certain risks!

The form of limited liability company is both familiar and unfamiliar to businessmen. Some businessmen have awareness of this aspect when they do business in partnership, but this time the western trading company is established in the form of the system.

"Wealth and wealth are in danger! The government organized the establishment of the Western Trading Company. The government must have the determination to do a good job in this business. After all, the government took the initiative to subscribe for [-]% of the shares. The bankruptcy of the Western Trading Company will be the first to bear the brunt of the government!" Some businessmen Think about the determination of the government and Chu Yun.

"Fujian businessman Li Jinde bought 3 shares at one time. If he didn't have the confidence to do a good job in this business, he shouldn't be so risky. 3 taels of silver should be invested in a risky business at one time. It requires a lot of courage. If 3 taels of silver is used to buy a merchant ship, it can be put into use immediately. After a trip to the merchant, it will start to pay back. But according to the report in the newspaper, Western companies need one to two years to build, Only by hiring merchant ships and escort ships will the first ocean-going trade to the west begin. In a year or two, who knows if the government's plan will run aground in the middle, or the fleet will encounter a storm deep in the ocean when sailing ..." Some conservative maritime merchants are not optimistic about the prospects of Western companies, they know how dangerous the sea is.

If you are unlucky and encounter a storm deep in the ocean, let alone a wooden galleon, even a steam ironclad ship is still in danger of being swallowed by the waves.

However, there are still many businessmen who regard Chu Yun as a god of protection, but they don't say anything, just buy it!

Spending money is not necessarily foreseeing the future of Western trading companies, but unconditional trust in Chu Yun!

Most of Chu Yun's policies are beneficial to business, changing the previous policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and making many maritime merchants rich, so that some of them are grateful to Chu Yun and believe that they can make money by mixing with him.This reason is enough!
At this time, Wang Changyuan, a businessman from Wuhu in Yokohama Port, knew the news that the Western Trading Company was going to be established, so he went to the Tokyo branch without stopping!

"Buy, buy 3 shares of Western Trading Company, this is [-] taels of bank notes!" Without saying a word, Wang Changyuan pressed a stack of bank notes firmly on the countertop at the front desk, which shocked the employees at the front desk .

3 taels of silver as soon as you make a move!

"It turned out to be shopkeeper Wang." The employee was not so surprised after recognizing Wang Changyuan who often conducts "triangular trade" in China, Dongying, and Korea.

Wang Changyuan followed Chu Yun in business activities when he was in southern Liaoning, and thus became a well-known wealthy private businessman. This time, Chu Yun proposed to establish a western trading company. understandable.

"However, shopkeeper Wang, we don't know if you will be able to buy 3 shares in the end. During your arrival from Yokohama Port, our Tokyo branch has received 7 taels of silver, and there are even some Japanese merchants who want to buy Our shares were rejected by us..." President Qian personally came out to receive Wang Changyuan, a major client.

"There are only 37 shares in total, and with my money, it exceeds 10!" Wang Changyuan did not expect the shares of Western Trading Company to be so popular, and this is just a branch of the Tokyo branch!

Kyushu Bank has a head office in Beijing, and also has branches in Edo City, Nanjing City, Guangzhou City, Dalian Port, Liaodong City, Xiamen City, Xiangyang City, Suzhou City, Hangzhou and other places.Among them, the most affluent cities in Gyeonggi and the southeast coast have not yet made an effort, and the Tokyo branch has raised more than 10 taels of silver in just a few days!

"According to this trend, the funds raised in various places will definitely exceed 37 taels of silver... If it exceeds 37 taels of silver, how can we confirm who has successfully subscribed for the shares of Western Trading Company?" Wang Changyuan asked.

"It's simple. The government's fundraising news is released at the same time. Our local branches will register the time when each investor subscribes for shares. At that time, all localities will collect the account books at the head office, and the ownership of the shares can be confirmed by comparing the time. The principle is first-come-first-served, until the quota is full." President Qian said.

"First come, first served is fair, but why are other people so fast?" Wang Changyuan was a little depressed. He went to the Tokyo branch to subscribe for shares as soon as he heard the news at Yokohama Port. A group of businessmen in China have thrown 7 taels of silver.With the 7 taels of silver ahead of him, there was almost no hope of being able to buy shares in the Western Trading Company.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please go slowly. The shares are limited. This is a helpless thing. Even the old man would never have imagined that it would be so hot." President Qian comforted Wang Changyuan when he sent Wang Changyuan away.

Wang Changyuan didn't take a few steps out of the Tokyo branch when several people stopped him.

"Who are you guys?" Seeing that the person blocking him did not know him, Wang Changyuan took half a step back defensively.

"The second section of the intelligence department handles the case, please come with us."

Intelligence Office!Wang Changyuan was sweating profusely. It was the first time that he was approached by the most mysterious organization in the Kyushu Army, and he still didn't appear in the second division on the surface!

　Happy New Year, there will be an update tomorrow morning.
