Chapter 667: The Rich
The most direct reaction to Guangping Mining's surge is that Liaodong Mining begins to fall.
In fact, this is understandable. The funds on the market are limited. A large amount of funds pouring into Guangping Mining will inevitably draw out a large amount of funds.
For a moment, someone would inevitably smile at Liu Wenchang.
Zhang Jing was still calm and still cared about the things he had in his hands.
In addition, he is now studying current.
The structure of electricity is actually very simple, of course... it cannot be compared with later generations. This is the most primitive electrical research.
In order to study, a group of top military academys and some craftsmen were conducting various experiments almost every day according to Zhang Jingyi's method.
But... there is no progress at the moment, but the cost of various experiments is amazing.
This is actually Zhang Jingyi's problem. Zhang Jingyi only knows the principles, but does not know anything else. Therefore, she can only rely on the principles to let everyone explore together.
On this day, Emperor Tianqi summoned Zhang Jingyi to meet him.
As soon as Zhang Jing arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Tianqi was happily talking to the cabinet ministers.
He was in a good mood, mainly because the cabinet now follows his leadership in everything, which is quite a bit like the king and his subjects being united.
When he saw Zhang Jingyi, Emperor Tianqi said, "No need to be too polite, how about the Engineering School now?"
"There have been enrolled, and now there are 1,421 students."
"So few, are you unwilling to attend?"
Zhang Jingyi shook his head: "The first phase has no experience, so it is more of an experiment. First, a group of talents must be cultivated, and then some corrections should be made based on the quality of the teaching. After that, the second phase and the third phase will increase the intensity of enrollment. You can't be too greedy for it now."
Emperor Tianqi was amused: "I thought Zhang Qing wanted to save money for me, so there was no need to save money, haha... I have money now, Zhang Qing, do you know that my mine contract now has two or three million taels of silver in a year. This is the beginning. If I want to contract all the mines in the world, wouldn't it be better than raiding the house?"
Zhang Jing thrust her face and said that she was laughing.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Do you know about Guangping Mining recently?"
"A little bit of it."
"Zhang Qing thought, can you buy it?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi seriously.
Several other cabinet ministers also pricked their ears.
"Yes." Zhang Jingyi said: "However, I think its growth is limited, and there are still some risks."
"Risk?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jingyi said: "Its financial report was published in this newspaper. I have probably read it. The current net profit of the mining industry is 170,000 taels of silver every year. Of course, it says... With the rise in iron prices in the future, they will also be mining on a larger scale, which can ensure that the scale of mining will increase by more than ten times in the next three years, and the profit will reach more than three million taels, or even more. Not only that, this is just iron ore. In addition, there are coal, wood, etc. In this way, the future profit will be even more amazing."
"However, when I looked closely, I found that there were some names inside. In the past, there were mines there, but the profit was not good. Why did they increase their profits now as soon as they contracted? In addition, they claimed that they could increase the scale in the future. What is the scale?... Whether the cost of mining will increase, these... are not explicitly stated. There are many problems like this, which makes me think that these people... mining is fake, but they are more interested in selling stocks."
Emperor Apocalypse nodded: “Is that true?”
Zhang Jingyi said: "The essence of listing is to use the stock market to obtain funds and do things well. Instead of using the listing to cash out a lot of gold and silver. So what I am worried about is that the cart will be put before the horse. Therefore, I think that many rules of the stock market need to be gradually improved. Otherwise, in the future, people of all kinds will only go public and sell stocks, but will forget their original intentions."
Emperor Aoki thoughtful.
At this time, someone said, "Your Majesty, I think it's not possible. The listing of Guangping Mining is like the railway and Liaodong Mining. Why is the railway and Liaodong Mining doing things steadily? Guangping Mining has become a listing and money. The prince of Liaodong has nothing to do with this concern, but it's a bit inappropriate to doubt people's intentions. Now the new policy has begun to be implemented, and everything is incomplete. There is a huge demand for iron ore inside and outside the capital. At this time, everyone is not encouraged to mine, but instead monitor it. I am afraid that no one will be willing to start mining again."
Someone is anxious.
The person who spoke was Zhang Yanghao, the new Minister of Personnel. Zhang Yanghao was from Zhili, the gentry who came to Beijing, except to visit Huang Liji, followed by him.
The fellow villagers helped the fellow villagers. For this reason, in order to show their support, Zhang Yanghao secretly asked his relatives to purchase a large amount of stocks.
At this time, Zhang Jing wants to check Guangping Mining. Once the news comes out, it will be great. Tomorrow, everyone will think that the Jinyiwei will kill others, and this stock will probably fall directly to the bottom.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi thought about it and then looked at Huang Liji: "What do you think about Huang Qing?"
Huang Liji said lightly: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is that if I investigate Guangping Mining, on the one hand, it will have a great impact. Now, many people inside and outside the capital have bought Guangping Mining, and there are many great scholars who support the new policy. If they are thoroughly investigated, public opinion will inevitably be boiling. On the other hand, if they are contracted and investigated, who will dare to contract the mine in the future?"
After Huang Liji said this, Emperor Tianqi suddenly stopped talking.
The next sentence is very powerful, it is linked to the mine contract. Emperor Tianqi pointed to it and made a fortune.
Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "But Zhang Qing's words make sense. It's better to do this by looking at me. The Jinyiwei should not disturb them. If there is something really happening, just intervene."
Zhang Jingyi was actually just suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he nodded: "I obey the order."
Emperor Tianqi immediately said happily: "I have implemented a new policy to create peace for all ages. Now that all the people help me, we should work together."
But Zhang Yanghao seemed a little unhappy after coming out of Qinzheng Hall. He quickly caught up with Huang Liji in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Huang, what does that mean by Zhang Jingyi? His stocks cannot be sold, so he wants our fellow villagers in Northern Zhili..."
Huang Liji and Zhang Yanghao were also fellow villagers. At this time, they saw Zhang Yanghao's face full of anger. Zhang Yanghao's career was very smooth. Since he was a Jinshi in the Wanli period, he has risen all the way. Now he is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, and his future is limitless, so he seems a little arrogant.
Huang Liji held his face and said, "Why did Jiezhi say this? Your Highness is also out of good intentions. It is better to say less of your words, so don't say more."
Zhang Yanghao was bored and felt a little embarrassed, so he said in disappointment: "What I am worried about is that once the Jinyiwei really ruins Guangping Mining, you and I are the chief minister and the official, what kind of face will you have in the future and be worthy of the villagers."
Huang Liji walked away quickly with a cold face.
Zhang Yanghao: “…”
So Zhang Yanghao had to leave the palace, and he couldn't help but think that Mr. Huang was really afraid of things and was not the one who did big things.
But when he thought of His Majesty's last words, he was quite worried, so when he returned home, he asked the head to summon someone.
This person is Zhang Yanzhi, the largest boss of Guangping Mining. Zhang Yanzhi's ancestors were all high-ranking officials. He dare not say that he had three masters in four generations, but he was also disciples and old officials all over the world.
The two of them met each other, and Zhang Yanzhi said: "Brother Xian called me, what's the matter?"
Zhang Yanghao smiled bitterly and said, "Your mining industry is nothing, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Yanghao said: "It is all operations...there are obstacles."
"Brother Xian said this? Is there a villain at work?"
Zhang Yanghao looked at Zhang Yanzhi's sincere appearance and thought that he was a child of the Zhang family in Guangping. The Zhang family in Guangping was passed down for more than ten generations, and was the Jishan Family in Beizhili. So he immediately said: "I will ask casually and I won't ask again in the future. But I have to remind you that your current hotness is very hot, but I am afraid it will cause suspicion from villains."
After hearing this, Zhang Yanzhi laughed: "Who dares to have Mr. Huang and Brother Zhang Xian in court?"
Zhang Yanghao said: "Just let you be careful."
When Zhang Yanzhi heard something in his words, he wrote down in his heart: "Please rest assured Brother Xian, I must pay more attention."
"It's so good." Zhang Yanghao became happy.
"By the way, Brother Xian..." Zhang Yanzhi smiled: "I was about to come here this time, and I have something to say."
Zhang Yanghao picked up the teacup: "What?"
"After the new stock issuance, I still have a stock here. I thought to myself that the stocks are selling well now, and it is these days that Brother Xian has been working hard for our mining industry, but he can't do it in vain."
Zhang Yanghao narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean? I want to give stocks to me? I am not that kind of person. I am too despised me."
There is a sentence in the second half of the story that Zhang Yanghao didn't say, now that His Majesty has copied many families, you are not afraid that I will be copied too.
Zhang Yanzhi smiled and said, "No, no, no, it's not a bonus, but... ask Brother Xian to buy stocks."
"Buy stocks?"
"Actually, there are not many of these stocks, only 500,000 shares. If Brother Xian wants it, you might as well sell it to Brother Xian for one tael of silver."
When Zhang Yanghao heard this, he suddenly felt energetic.
You know, the mining stocks are already 2.5 cents on the market, and some people say they have risen to at least 5 cents, so that the primary market can hardly buy new stocks, and even the secondary market is actually reluctant to sell them. To put it bluntly, even 2.5 cents of silver may not be able to buy them in large quantities.
This is equivalent to buying a stock for one tael of silver, and then re-selling it and making a tael of five cents of silver.
