Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 103 Give Stocks to the Soldiers
After receiving the imperial decree, on the surface Wu Sangui accepted the withdrawal of the vassal. However, even his royal vassals had more than 2 soldiers, and the number of family members was probably nearly 10. Naturally, so many people could not be withdrawn just by withdrawing. Well, it is impossible for Kangxi to complete the preparatory work for relocating so many people, but it also gave Wu Sangui an excellent reason to procrastinate.

However, many people still don't quite understand what's going on, and they think that Wu Sangui is really going to follow the order to withdraw the feudal clan. Besides doing a good job in the handover of tasks, the Ministry of Finance actually didn't do any large-scale deployment of troops to guard against him.

There are also many people on the Tiandihui side who are quite worried. After all, if Wu Sangui does not turn against them, they will probably be the loyal ministers and filial sons of the Qing Dynasty forever.

It's also thanks to everyone's trust in Liu Dapao, which is completely unreasonable. Seeing that Liu Dapao is not panicking at all, on the contrary, the movements of his hands are getting bigger and bigger, and he is less and less shy about doing things, and he is becoming more and more presumptuous. Only then did everyone put their hearts in their stomachs, and the construction of Chenghai City was getting stronger and stronger day by day.

At the same time, the first batch of foreign trade products have also been successfully sold. Silk sold more than 30 pieces, cotton cloth sold more than 40, and tea sold [-] boxes. Porter and Rotoni were also relatively happy. The Dutch guilders were used to settle the bill in cash. The merchants and people in Chaozhou did not reject the Dutch guilders, and even wanted to build a mint here in Chaozhou.

However, ordinary merchants do not have the right to sea trade. The goods were first sold by various merchants to Liu Dapao's West Pacific Company, and then sold by West Pacific Company. Two silver!
You know, the annual revenue of the entire Qing court is only more than 600 million silver! There are also more people, which is the main reason why Kangxi had to withdraw the domain)
The profit margin of the China-Europe route is as high as 800%!

This is the first time and I have no experience. Otherwise, it can at least maintain more than 2000%, which is actually far higher than that of Zheng Zhilong (the Dutch East India Company’s profit margin in the most ideal state is 4000% around the world).

This trade conducted by the Dutch personally frightened the local merchants in Chaozhou. After all, they thought that they could have three times and five times the profit. The shot is eight times, and it is guaranteed that it will be higher in the future, and the money is not so fast. Compared with adults, Zheng Zhilong is a piece of shit!
However, what makes them more troublesome is that the money is not directly earned by businessmen like them, but is purchased and sold by West Pacific Company. They also need to receive dividends with stocks.

What is the meaning of this stock!No wonder Mr. Zhongtang forced everyone to buy it before selling the goods. Each of their chambers of commerce spent several 10 taels of silver to buy stocks. They thought it was something similar to a business license, and they bought it reluctantly. Yes, I thought I could buy as little as possible, but now it seems that it's all money!
Master Zhongtang is not stealing their money, he is clearly giving them money, but I hate that I don't understand!I failed Master Zhongtang's wishes, and let those red-haired fans earn all the money!

These red-haired fans are simply robbers!

What?Your Excellency wants to set up a what... stock exchange?Going public with a stock offering?The minimum lot of stock is 100 taels of silver, is anyone eligible to buy it?
What is it called... Additional issuance?
buy it!

You have to buy it even if you want to sell it!The more you buy, the more you earn, and the adults said that if any chamber of commerce can finally hold more than 5% of the total shares, it can also elect a representative to join the shareholders' meeting as a shareholder representative to participate in the entire West Pacific company decision making.

History is always strikingly similar. Just like when the Netherlands first issued stocks, the big businessmen of the Qing court were not fools. There is no need for people to teach this kind of thing at all. Everyone learned it spontaneously. In just three days, the stock with 100 taels of silver rose to more than 300 taels before it stabilized and the increase slowed down. But it is still rising.

On this day, Liu Dapao ordered people to carry several large boxes into the barracks left in the old Chaozhou City, and he ordered the generals in the army to hold a meeting with a smile, and also specially ordered Hao Duo's Eight Banners soldiers and Xushun Duke's mansion to hold a meeting. Soldiers and horses are called.

"My lord, is this a happy event?"

"Of course it's a happy event. It's a big happy event. Today, I'll send you money."

"Payment? It's not time to pay the military salary yet."

"It's not military pay, but I plan to issue a batch of stocks to you. In the army, everyone below me, including grooms and cooks, as long as they have a name and surname on the roster, call me over and issue stocks."

"Issuing stocks?"

All the generals were stunned, stocks!
Which Chaozhou people don't know what stocks are nowadays?Even if you don't understand the way to do it, the price of this thing is going crazy now, 300 taels of silver a piece.

My lord actually said that everyone in the army has all the generals?
There are about 1 soldiers in Chaozhou Green Camp, and about 2 soldiers from Xushun Gongfu. If you count about 2 people from Chaozhou Navy, this is more than 600 people. The number of Eight Banners is negligible. After all, this is more than [-] million taels of silver.

It is almost the same as the annual income of the imperial court.

"My lord, really... everyone has it? That is, is it the stock issued by the stock exchange?"

"It is not the same as the stock issued by the stock exchange. The stock on the stock exchange is a bearer stock. As long as there is a trader who authenticates the transaction, it can be freely circulated in the stock exchange. What is issued to you is a registered stock. The rights to dividends are exactly the same, but within five years, the stocks in your hands cannot be traded. After five years, you can come to the stock exchange to exchange registered stocks for bearer stocks based on military merits. Even if I, West Pacific Company, gave you an extra bonus in addition to your military salary."

"Then, the future military salary of the brothers..."

"The military salary is paid as usual. The military salary is paid by the Ministry of War, and it is not under my control."

"Hey, okay, let's beat the drums and get together."
