My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 490 Do you dare to think?

  Zhu Di may just think that what Ma Yu has done is a good deal.

   But Zhang Anshi knew that what was involved here was an unimaginable fortune.

  In this era, Ma Yu is almost an indispensable figure. He can not only gain the trust of the gentry, but also possess the eloquence enough to promote shipping investment to a certain class of gentry.

   In addition, he is a benchmark figure in business.

  All these things have gathered on this Ma Yu, and the effect it brings... If I have to make an analogy, then it is equal to...

  In this world, someone has opened a stock market, and there are many people with wealth hidden in their families, who are holding currency at this time and hope to invest, but in this stock market, there is only one stock.

  Yes...no competitors, no natural enemies.

  The concept of a scholar has both a cautious side and a far-sighted side.

They are not ordinary people, they can eat the last meal and think about the next meal. They represent the rise and fall of a family, and what needs to be considered is the long-term thing. They not only think about the present, but also think about their future generations .

  This means that after losing their land investment, they have to find a new outlet.

   Right now, they don't know anything about business, so...Ma Yu's outlet has become their life-saving straw.

  Anxiety is a terrible thing. Even if someone has the wealth to eat and drink for a lifetime, when a sense of anxiety strikes, it is enough to defeat all sane people.

   What's more, this kind of anxiety, in the eyes of these scholars who have no foresight and immediate worries every day, this kind of anxiety has a greater stamina.

  Zhu Di was still surprised, he was calculating what these twelve shares meant, and then asked Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing, Qixia Commercial Company, how many shares does this ship company own?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, there are 300,000 shares. The delivery made a few days ago cost 500,000 taels of silver."

  300,000 shares, accounting for 30% of the shipping company.

   That is... three million taels of silver... Zhu Di's face suddenly showed joy.

  This is equivalent to earning 2.5 million for nothing?

  Zhu Di quickly concealed his joy.

   After all, this is only a theoretical price. Whether it can be sold, and whether anyone is willing to buy it, is another matter.

  But... now it seems... through the small window, Zhu Di showed joy when he saw a long queue of people who came to buy shares one after another.

  The guys in the store have already started distributing many brochures, which are similar to prospectuses.

  It records the income and development of the shipping company for several years, and at the same time describes the future prospects of shipping, and explains how many sea ships will be ordered, how many manpower will be recruited, how many warehouses will be purchased, etc. after the fundraising.

  There was a lot of discussion among the people. There were many scholars dressed in silk, repeating in their mouths 'buying a boat... I understand this, but it is actually buying land. ', 'It's a place in a disaster year, and it's a huge profit', 'There are countless shipping companies in the world. I heard that there are also a number of ships built in the dock every year, but there is still a shortage of freight. I heard that many merchants want to go to sea, but they can't find them. Boat. '

Some merchants said: "It's not just that, business is like this, it's about scale, for example, if this shipping company can place an order for 500 ships at a time, it will be a huge order for all shipyards in the world." , in order to accept this transaction, there must be a discount. If other shipping companies need 10,000 taels of silver to buy a ship, it may only be 9,500 taels at Ma's Shipping Company. What's more... For goods, if Ma’s shipping company has more ships, it can stably load and transport with large merchants. Even if the price is higher than other shipping companies, everyone can accept it... Once this business reaches a certain level, the profit will be more or less. Second, and most importantly, stability."

   "Next year's profit, I'm afraid there will be millions..."

   There was a lot of noise outside, which made many people's blood boil.

   Zhang Anshi said to Zhu Di in the ear room, "Your Majesty, look, how happy they are with their purchase."

Looking over the past, Zhu Di saw that those who had already bought stocks looked excited, as if they were picking up ingots on the ground, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "I never expected that these scholars also know how to manage money." .”

  As soon as these words came out, Chen Deng, who was sitting upright in the corner, changed slightly.

  He had an awe-inspiring look.

   But at this moment, although he was still squinting, his face was slightly distorted, as if he was bearing something in his heart.

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course, all the prosperity in the world is for profit. If Your Majesty asks them to borrow a thousand taels of silver for these scholars, they may not be willing to give them. But if they buy this stock, they will probably jump up and be happy. It can be seen from this that the benevolence and morality and righteous indignation are all jokes. The New Deal is harmful to them, and they will be furious, and the shipping will be good for them, and they will be overjoyed. I’m afraid I’m going to throw it in Java.”

  Chen Deng snorted softly in his nose, but the sound was like the moaning of mosquitoes.

  Zhu Di nodded, couldn't help but smiled and said to Yang Rongren: "I see you, I'm afraid you want to buy some too."

  Hu Guang immediately said: "I am a minister, how can I..."

  Zhu Di saw that he was not on the road, so he kept a straight face and ignored him.

   Hu Guang was bored, so he simply stopped talking.

  Wu Tong, on the other hand, was both embarrassed and apprehensive, but...it seemed that he was weighing something in his heart at this time, and he was a little lost.

   Zhang Anshi smiled at this moment, and said: "Mr. Chen..."

  He actually looked at Chen Deng.

  For this Chen Deng, Zhu Di and his ministers have always been like air, turning a blind eye.

  Zhang Anshi continued: "Mr. Chen thinks...how is this shipping business?"

  Chen Deng said lightly: "It's a trick of the bad guys."

   "Don't worry about whether he is a villain or not, just talk about the deal." Zhang Anshi smiled.

  Chen Deng tried his best to suppress his emotions, opened his eyes slightly, but felt that he had no reason to refute.

   It was only under Zhang Anshi's gaze that he sighed: "They may have just lost their minds for a while."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Chen Gong thinks, relying on these people, can great things be achieved?"

  Chen Deng: "..."

  Chen Deng's heart is far less calm than his appearance. In fact, at this moment, his heart has already been turned upside down.

  But at this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound outside.

  But it seems that some staff said: "I'm very sorry, this time, according to the rules...only 50,000 shares will be released. As for the others, please keep an eye on the announcement of the shipping company."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

  Especially those who put on a long line, they couldn't help shouting.

  After all, I have waited for so long. During the process of queuing, I was studying the brochures and discussing the earnings of the boat with the people in the front and rear.

  Although I was a little apprehensive in my heart, worried about whether it would be unreliable, I was still attracted by the future benefits after all.

  But now...they won't sell it all of a sudden, isn't this a panic?

  Among the noise, although the chaotic people made various noises, but after all, most of them were scholars, and there was no trouble.

  Seeing this, Zhu Di thought it was a pity. He felt that he could sell as much as he could, why he was still hesitating here.

  Zhang Anshi saw it, but smiled at Chen Deng: "Mr. Chen...what do you think?"

  Chen Deng twitched his face, but he still didn't speak after all.

   But after the chaos, people didn't seem to disperse.

   Instead, he is still here, muttering endlessly.

  If you can buy it, you will look happy, but if you can’t buy it, you will be downcast.

   Some people seem to have seen some clues. They seem to think that since this stock is so hot, the next time it will go on sale is unknown. If it is true... the huge profits as promised, once the opportunity is missed, it may be too late to regret.

   Immediately, someone looked for the smiling person: "Brother bought a lot, why don't you give ten shares to the students, and I will add a little silver, how about eleven taels of silver for one share."

  As soon as these words came out, many people began to think about it.

  First of all, people who want to buy stocks at a higher price, in fact, mostly feel unwilling.

Secondly, they will not buy in large quantities, but buy ten shares, eight shares, or thirty or fifty shares. It seems that the price is indeed a bit higher, but compared to their worth, it is actually nothing. After all... these silver , for them, it is still a piece of cake, although it costs more money, it will not cause heartache.

Immediately, people flocked to the person who had already bought shares and chattered endlessly: "Yes, yes, brother bought so much, and it's okay to transfer some of them. I don't really want to make a profit, but I just want to have a taste of it." Two, try it."

The person being sought showed hesitation, because before he only thought that the stock in his hand was only ten taels of silver, but now surrounded by a group of people, his psychological price became eleven taels all of a sudden. At that time, he was reluctant to sell it, and immediately shook his head: "This is not possible, it was bought with great difficulty."

  Someone also said with a smile: "I just want to take it back for a thought, how about this, sell me ten shares, I'm twelve taels..."

   There are very few people who offer such a price.

   Sure enough, someone was persuaded and immediately went to trade with that person.

All of a sudden, the people who had already bought the stocks were overjoyed. In the process of changing hands, twelve taels of things were sold for twelve taels. Of course they would not think that this kind of scattered trading behavior might not be common, but Psychologically, he already thought that the current price of the stock that he might have bought for 10,000 taels of silver was 12,000 taels.

  Wu Tong, who was leaning forward and sitting in the ear room, suddenly revealed a look of secret joy, but in front of the monarchs and ministers, he had to try his best to hold back, putting on a look of fear and sincerity.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Wu Tong, why are you laughing?"

  Wu Tong was shocked, and hurriedly said: "No...no, no..."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Being a king is a serious crime."

  Wu Tong was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly said: "It's a grassroots...and earned two thousand taels of silver, so...so..."

  Zhang Anshi burst out laughing: "Laugh if you want to, why not be afraid, I made two thousand taels of silver in another hand, I'm afraid I'll laugh too."

  In the ear room, the atmosphere became active.

  Even Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

  Only Chen Deng's face was ashen, and he also looked annoyed when he heard the overjoyed voice coming from the shop.

  At this time, his heart was actually more hopeless than when he was tortured.

   Right now...

Sudden…

  Chen Deng jumped up suddenly.

  When he saw this, Chen Deng got up.

   Several guards subconsciously stopped him and Zhu Di.

  Because of what happened outside, the guards were negligent, but when they saw that the prisoner was different, they were still well-trained and moved quickly.

   But I never expected it.

   When Chen Deng got up, he didn't run towards Zhu Di, wanting to harm Zhu Di.

   Instead, he went crazy and rushed out of the door.

   The guards didn't expect that the prisoner didn't want to harm the holy car, but turned around and wanted to escape.

  Dang even wanted to pounce on it.

   But Zhang Anshi said slowly: "Okay, he can't run away, it's okay to let him go out to get some air."

  The guards looked at each other when they saw this.

  Zhu Di sat upright, and his face was slightly heavy at this time.

  Seeing that Chen Deng ran out of the ear room at once, he shouted loudly: "Masters, gentlemen...you are fooled, you are fooled."

  His hysterical hoarse cry.

  In the originally lively shop, there was a din of voices, but at this moment, all the sounds stopped abruptly.

  Everyone looked at this uninvited guest.

Chen Deng shouted loudly: "You are all fooled, this is all a scheme, that Ma Yu...is really a treacherous and evil person, this son has already taken refuge in the imperial court, and his original intention is to absorb your money and make you... lose Mind...you gentlemen...don't fall for their tricks, they took your fields and forced you to leave your hometown here, can they have any good intentions?"

  Everyone was silent, looking at Chen Deng blankly.

  In the ear room, Zhu Di was already furious, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

   Several guards have been waiting for orders like wolves and tigers.

  Only Zhang Anshi whispered: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look first."

  Zhu Di took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

  There are two kinds of people that Zhu Di hates the most, one is for blocking his way of making money, and the other is for plotting against others.

   But this Chen Deng has both.

  Chen Deng's voice sounded again: "My lords...don't be fooled by that Ma Yu...you know your way back, it's..."

  He said this, but he still wanted to earnestly say it.

  But at this time, someone's face has changed.

  But those people who have bought stocks just now, one of them is also a Lunjin Confucian shirt, and he looks like an elegant scholar.

But at this moment, the scholar's complexion turned cold, and he stepped forward quickly, grabbed the heavy Chen Deng, raised his hand furiously and grabbed Chen Deng's head, and cursed: "Where is that?" The lunatic who came here dared to act wild here."

  Many people began to show suspicion, looking flabbergasted.

But there are also many people, like this man in a shawl and Confucian shirt, with angry faces. Most of them are lucky ones. After buying stocks, they immediately cursed: "You can't buy stocks, but you are talking nonsense here, what is your intention?" .”

   "Don't let this thief go!"

   "This person is alarmist and must have plans. I can't trust Ma Gong, so should I trust you?"

   Some people were so angry that they raised their fists to hit them.

  These people were filled with righteous indignation, and all of them gritted their teeth.

Chen Deng was dragged by someone. His body was covered in scars, but now his injuries were involved, and he grinned in pain. At this moment, his eyes were moist, but he couldn't help crying, and said somewhat desperately: "Don't be fooled...don't I've been fooled, this is His Majesty... and Zhang Anshi's treacherous scheme is Ma Yu's collusion with His Majesty and Zhang Anshi... That's right... It's them, this Qixia Trading Company has a 30% stake in the shipping company. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. If I have false words, the heavens will hate it!"

  As soon as this remark was made, all of a sudden, there was a complete silence in the shop.

  Everyone looked at Chen Deng dumbfounded.

  The person in front of him actually involved the affairs of the palace.

   And that Zhang Anshi...

  Even the person who grabbed Chen Deng couldn't help letting go.

At this moment, Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Don't fall for their tricks anymore, isn't it... I have been tricked by them enough? Please think about it... Think twice, definitely think twice... "

  ...

  In the ear chamber.

  The murderous look on Zhu Di's face is getting stronger.

  He couldn't stand Chen Deng's nonsense anymore.

  Yang Rong and the others could not help but look at each other, observing the changes in the shop.

  Only Zhang Anshi smiled.

  …

finally…

  After a brief silence, someone suddenly said: "Fifteen taels a share, I bought 300 shares, who wants to sell."

   "I also want to receive 100 shares..."

  The entire shop suddenly seemed to become a vegetable market entrance again.

   And the scholars who wanted to yell at Chen Deng to kill him didn't even care about Chen Deng, and they left one after another.

  At this time, Chen Deng was only in the corner, as if he had been forgotten by the world. He looked incredulously at the crowd that had resumed their noisy activities.

  There was disbelief in his eyes, and the pupils couldn't help shrinking. At this moment... an unbelievable emotion has arisen spontaneously.

   Followed by it, there is also a kind of despair, a kind of bone-chilling despair.

"Fifteen taels are not for sale..." The scholar who was about to hit Chen Deng just now was very happy at this moment, and continued: "This Qixia Trading Company has 30% of the shares. Zhang Anshi, that cannibalistic guy, he can do business at a loss, and even he also participates in the shares. It seems... Sure enough, the shipping company will make a lot of money in the future, and the students will not believe it. Brother Ma Xian, he has the guts to lie to me Wait, do you still have the guts to fool the Qixia Trading Company, in my opinion... this boat company... is really no small matter."

   "Sixteen taels... This old man here is sixteen taels... I don't buy too much, as long as ten shares... I think it's not a waste of time to come here."

   "No wonder I only sold 50,000 shares, but suddenly refused to sell it. It turns out..."

   "Brother Liu, you and I are family friends, why don't you sell 20 shares of the stupid brother, naturally, you won't be at a disadvantage..."

  Chen Deng suddenly fell to the ground, his face was pale, he couldn't help it, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha...haha..."

  It's a pity... At this time, no one cares about him, only people are greatly regretful, and some people are ecstatic about it.

  ...

   It's late, sorry!
