There were a lot of rules, but all in all, the stock market had to have access barriers, not all the junk, so it needed an assessment mission to manage it.
Of course, there was a price to pay for all of this. Liu Chouchu was the person in charge of the rules of the stock market and he was the person in charge of the assessment team.
Hearing such detailed plans, everyone felt at ease. The Prime Minister had provided the initial funds, and sending a special envoy to supervise was also within reason. No one dared doubt Liu Chouchu's identity and status.
Time passed minute by minute. Soon, it was time for dinner. All the rules were gradually being perfected. Everyone was smiling from the bottom of their hearts.
Until seven thirty in the evening, when the final item was discussed and completed by everyone. Like this, with Liu Chouchu as the leader and the thirty people from Su Province as support, the assessment team was officially established.
Just as Liu Chouchu was announcing the guests at the banquet, mulberry stood up. "This old one has one last question! Since the Prime Minister is helping us like this, we can't help but have a heart. May I ask if the Prime Minister has any conditions? I can't believe that the prime minister did such a good deed just to be a living Bodhisattva who doesn't want to return the favor... Please enlighten me, Mr. Xu! "
The hall was completely silent. Liu Chouchu stood up and quietly looked at everyone, everyone could feel the immense pressure on his body, and it took a long while for Liu Chouchu to speak.
"Of course there are conditions, and only one... From now on, the access to the First Class Market must be in the hands of the Prime Minister. That is to say, the most primitive shares cannot be sold to foreign devils or other corrupt officials. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
"Hiss …" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. Only now did they realize just how ambitious the Prime Minister was!
First-tier markets sold shares in large quantities at the lowest price. Whoever ate the most stocks would be able to prove how much control they had over the entire Jiang-Nan economy.
This time, at least forty percent of the businesses in Suzhou would have to put their shares into the market. The stock market, which was a new development, would definitely not be accepted by many in the beginning, so the first to eat would naturally be the Prime Minister's Letian Bank.
In other words, in the spring, the Chinese could swallow 40% of the entire Jiangnan economy, which meant that forty% of the Jiangnan economy was controlled by the Letian Bank under the Prime Minister's control.
What a big plan, what a terrifying ambition. This year, I'll have to eat more than a billion dollars just for the dividends, right? Wealth was not something that could be compared to a nation!
However, how could a person not lower his head under the low eaves? Now, everyone could only hold their noses and accept their fate.
"I dare to disobey!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Liu Chouchu straightened his robes, and bowed 90 degrees as he returned the greeting, "I'll be counting on all of you, God of Fortune! Don't think that the Prime Minister is greedy, the Prime Minister has his own difficulties too! When the Prime Minister fought the foreign devils outside, he naturally had to spend money on military expenses. The Prime Minister also didn't want to use the exorbitant taxes to rob this commoner … If it's not like that, the powerful Chinese army will not be able to be built! "
"I thank everyone here, not for the prime minister, but for the sake of the Chinese, for the sake of our little hope, for the sake of the lonely army that is protecting us overseas … Please, everyone, please work hard to earn money. Please believe in the prime minister and support the prime minister! Liu Chouchu thanks you again! "
With that, Liu Chouchu pushed the jade pillar on top of the gold mountain and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to all the merchants.
The situation went out of control at that moment, was the representative of the Prime Minister kneeling down, how could they possibly get up! All of the people present burst into tears as they kneeled on the ground, "Prime Minister, I am grateful for your kindness. We dare not obey your orders!"
This bow was an oath. It was an oath made by the Jiangnan Merchant Group to the Prime Minister, and at the same time, it was an oath made by the Chinese to the merchants of Great Qing.
From this moment onwards, the most important people in the Great Qing began to surrender to Xiao Letian in batches. Half of the economic lifeline of the Great Qing was already under the control of the Chinese people.
On Shanghai's Huangpu River, Xiao Letian rejected all the invitations. He didn't even stay at the hotels by the shore, he just stayed on the Zhiyuan Warship, waiting for news from all over Jiangnan.
The stock market that Liu Chouchu built in Su Zhou was the fuel tank for Xiao Letian's future war machine, the foundation of strong armies and industrialization.
How could he not be worried? Whether or not this plan of his would gain the approval of all the merchants, whether or not the stock market would succeed, how many provisions he could accept, and even how the foreign devils would react after the appearance of the stock market all had to be carefully considered.
It was too difficult, too difficult. This kind of hard work was even more tiring than fighting. However, they had yet to move their food, how could they do anything big? In the future, Xiao Letian needed billions of dollars to build the strongest navy in Asia, and also to develop his own ship manufacturing industry.
Without an endless flow of wealth and blood machines, this dream is a pipe dream.
The stock market was an effective way to bind the entire Jiangnan economy to his chariot. Some people said that capital did not have any nationality, so Xiao Letian believed this sentence.
If the Jin Shang was able to betray the alliance between Da Ming and the Manchu at the end of the year, then there would be merchants of the Da Qing Empire colluding with other powers to play this late Qing to death in the future.
Businessmen pursued benefits, and exchanging money for nationality was not a shameful thing.
But merchants also have their own rules, such as shares, such as contracts. It was laughable to say that although they did not have many national concepts in their hearts, they were naturally loyal to these commercial rules.
Anyone who could become a merchant was someone who respected their own shares and contracts. This was the basis for their survival. As long as they had an ideal of doing business for 100 lifetimes, they would definitely abide by these rules.
On the contrary, those who didn't abide by the rules, such as the interests of the black shareholders, regarded contracts as waste paper, these kind of merchants had never heard of being able to make a deal with III, generally it was just a few years of luck, once their reputation was bad, no one would cooperate with him.
Xiao Letian had used his south banknotes to invest in the 100% shares of Jiang-Nan industry. The Jiang-Nan trading firm had repaid a huge profit every year, and this was only an agreement that you could see on the surface.
And the hidden contract was even more so a form of expectation for the future. Since Xiao Letian possessed 40% of the total economic value of Jiangnan, then he had an obligation to protect forty% of the shares. This was the Chinese Army's promise of protection for the entire Jiangnan.
In the future, if any powerhouses dared to bring the fire of war to Jiangnan and ignite it in Xiao Letian's backyard, the Chinese army would definitely unleash a thunderbolt and burn those enemies into ashes.
"Jiangnan and I have an oath!"
