casket of old days

Chapter 146

Looking at the unfathomable abyss in front of him, Chu Qiguang's consciousness seemed to gradually stop thinking at this moment, and countless strange murmurs and grotesque whispers flooded into his mind.

The grotesque pictures kept jumping in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if they wanted to pull his spirit into a magnificent dream that never bottomed out, like being intoxicated...

Until a voice exploded in his ears.

"It's you again? I found you..."

The dry and hoarse voice exploded in Chu Qiguang's mind like a thunderbolt, completely tearing apart the tranquility in Chu Qiguang's consciousness.

When Chu Qiguang came back to his senses, he found himself still standing in front of the hydraulic spinning machine and hydraulic loom.

He felt that his spirit had been sublimated just now, and the distance from the original [-]% to the [-]th of the fifth realm of cultivation suddenly went from [-]% to the fifth realm.

'The improvement is so great... even greater than my improvement in the last group arena. '

"But something seems to have happened just now..." Chu Qiguang frowned, but he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something: "Huh? '

Suddenly, Chu Qiguang felt some pain in his chest, as if someone had cut some kind of wound on his flesh with a knife.

'what? '

But that strange feeling came and went quickly, as if it was some kind of hallucination, it disappeared quickly, Chu Qiguang didn't have time to think about it, watching the people in the audience have continued their work today.

'Cut off this wave of leeks first, and then go back and see what's going on with the chest. '

With the appearance of two textile looms, the current atmosphere suddenly reached its climax.

The crowd kept pushing towards the machine on the stage, as if they wanted to see every step of the machine's operation.

When it was confirmed that no one was operating, and when they saw the efficiency of spinning and weaving clearly, the audience present could not help but express their surprise and admiration.

"It really doesn't need artificial intelligence."

"The speed is so fast, much more efficient than the weavers in ordinary workshops."

"It's really strange, how did this thing move?"

Some people just looked at it as a surprise, but some people saw the huge commercial value from these two machines based on the various data given by Chu Qiguang just now.

Wang Cailiang and his son were also invited. At this moment, his father Wang Chengwang looked at the two machines with wide eyes: "These two machines are worth ten thousand gold."

He turned his head and looked at Wang Cailiang suddenly: "You said that nephew Chu Xian really wants to give up this opportunity to make money to so many people?" Seeing Wang Cailiang nodded, he was puzzled and said, "I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. "

At the same time, Chu Qiguang on the stage has continued to say: "These two textile machines have taken over all the processes from cotton to cotton yarn to cotton cloth. Not only does it require no labor, but the productivity has increased by a full twenty times."

"And the cost of a machine tool is only four or fifty taels of silver."

Hearing this, there was another exclamation from below.

Chu Qiguang clapped his hands, and a new scroll came down from behind, showing the comparison of the production capacity of traditional machines and hydraulic machines.

"Traditional hand-made machines and tools, the spinner can get four or five taels of yarn a day, and the weaver can make a piece of cloth a day."

"The new hydraulic machines can be used day and night, and the production capacity is twenty times that of traditional machines. One machine can produce fifty pieces of cotton cloth in one day. Even if it is limited by the seasonal influence of the river's water volume, it can be produced in one year. More than [-] bolts of cloth were produced."

"After deducting the labor cost, there is no cotton cloth on the market that can compete with us in price. We will sweep the cotton spinning market in the north."

"If it's a hundred new machines, that's a million bolts of cotton cloth a year."

"A piece of cotton cloth is priced at 3 yuan in Lingzhou. If it is sold to Yaozu Mutual Market... Even if it is only sold for 6 yuan, 100 million pieces can get 60 taels of silver."

At the same time, a new picture scroll fell again, showing the cotton cloth markets in several northern states.

"A thousand new machines, that's ten million bolts of cotton a year."

"If you sell it to the northern people in Lingzhou, Yongzhou, Jingzhou, etc., even if you only sell it for 2 renminbi a piece, the advantage is that the quantity is more, and you can get 200 million taels of silver a year."

"And one thousand looms and one thousand spinning machines only need 10 taels of silver."

"The big head is cotton. To weave 1000 million bolts of cloth, the cotton needed is about 100 million catties. If the local is not enough, it must be imported from other places. In this way, the cotton is about 6 cents of silver per catty, which is 66 taels of silver." .”

Listening to Chu Qiguang's narration, everyone present was already full of emotions.

What Chu Qiguang said next made them even more excited.

Chu Qiguang opened his arms and said: "However, I, Mr. Wu and Abbot Chenzhu worked hard to develop these two new machines, not only for making money, but also for the construction of Qingyang County, and to bring all the families here together. Make money."

"So the two of you and I decided that we will hold [-]% of the shares in total, and sell the remaining [-]% to everyone here. We will establish a Qingyang Chamber of Commerce together with you, and distribute the profits to the folks and elders."

Hearing this, the people below were all more excited than the other, and they all wanted to get a share of the several million taels of silver business.

"But there are so many people, we are afraid that the [-]% of the shares will not be easy to divide, so we divide the [-]% of the shares into [-] shares."

Everyone at the scene was slightly taken aback, it was the first time they heard such a practice, but after careful thought, they understood that it was just a more detailed account of the shareholding.

Some people have already begun to think about how much money each share can share.

The original Chu Qiguang invested 3000 taels for 10000% of the shares, Wu Wei and Taoist each contributed [-] taels for [-]% of the shares.

Now Chu Qiguang holds 2000 shares, Wu Wei and Taoist each hold 4000 shares.

"Each share is currently priced at 10 taels of silver."

"Share holders can trade their shares at the headquarters of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, which is currently tentatively located here."

"The trading price of each share will also be published here every day."

"Although the shares can be traded, the Chamber of Commerce only registers changes in shareholders once a year."

Of course, there are still a bunch of dense rules and regulations and the power of the chamber of commerce to supervise stocks, which are listed by Chu Qiguang. ... I guess I understand.

The next step is to subscribe for shares. There are nearly forty households present, ranging from the richest Jinshi and senior officials like the Hao family to the most common landowners like the Wang family.

Under Chu Qiguang's series of stimulations, the 10 shares with a total price of [-] taels of silver were quickly divided up.

After all, not long after they raided the Ding family together, the silver in the hands of these local tyrants in Qingyang County has no place to spend.

"Is this how 10 taels of silver came together?" Wu Wei was a little dazed looking at this scene, and then thought about the shares that he originally invested with 1 taels of silver, which is worth 4 taels?
For the first time, he felt that earning money could be so easy.

When he told Chu Qiguang this idea, the other party told him... This is just the beginning.

Two days later, Wu Wei understood why Chu Qiguang said that, because the price per share had risen from 10 taels to 12 taels.
