casket of old days

Chapter 332 Stock Market Situation
Chu Qiguang then returned to Qingyang County. When passing by West Street, he could see the exchange of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce from a long distance away.

This exchange has annexed the restaurants and shops on both sides, and it is crowded with people and it is extremely lively.

But only a small number of people buy and sell stocks. Most people come here to trade information, inquire about news, and check stock prices...

There are also many small stalls selling snacks, buns, tobacco and alcohol nearby.

Not long after walking through West Street, Chu Qiguang came to the door of Wu's mansion.

'We still have to give the Wu family a chance. '

Chu Qiguang thought to himself that Wu Siqi is the chief assistant after all, and he will run rampant for nearly ten years.

He can consider selling the other party's face so that it will be convenient for him to act in the court in the future.

'And if Wu Wei is willing to shed some blood...I can't make things difficult for Yinzi. '

'If he won't bleed...then I'll have to be tough. '

'Although I have a grudge with Shoufu, but looking at it the other way...with Emperor Yong'an's disposition, after knowing that I and Shoufu are at odds, I'm afraid he will trust me even more. '

……

In the Wu family's mansion, Sun Bin listened to the servant's report, and asked in surprise, "Chu Qiguang is here?"

Since being promoted by Wu Wei as the new president of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, Sun Bin has been proud of himself for more than half a year.

As he continued to expand the scale of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, aristocratic families became shareholders of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, even Prince Hui was drawn in.

Today, Sun Bin has become a guest of a wealthy family and a big celebrity under Wu Wei's subordinates.

Hearing the news of Chu Qiguang after half a year, Sun Bin seemed to be in a trance, thinking back to when Chu Qiguang made Qingyang Chamber of Commerce in the past, he also came to ask to see the other party, but the other party did not see him at all.

Sun Bin asked, "Did Chu Qiguang say anything?"

The boy said: "He said he asked me to tell the master that there is a business to discuss about the chamber of commerce."

Sun Bin sneered after hearing this, and guessed in his heart that Chu Qiguang was probably jealous of the achievements of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, and wanted to come back to get a share.

'Even wanting to come back and take my place...'

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Wu is still drunk from the wine yesterday." Sun Bin ordered to the boy beside him: "Go and tell Chu Qiguang, if you have any business from the chamber of commerce, go to the exchange to talk to the shopkeeper."

"This is a private house, the Wu family has nothing personal to discuss with him."

"Also, just say that Master Wu said it."

Hearing the words, the young servant hesitated: "This...do you still have to tell the master?"

Sun Bin raised his brows, showing a fierce look: "I will explain this matter to Master Wu myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

The boy immediately lowered his head and claimed yes.

"Go soon?" Sun Bin snorted coldly: "If you can't handle this well, the whole family will stop staying in the county, do you hear me?"

The little fellow repeatedly said yes, and passed on Sun Bin's instructions to Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "You tell Wu Wei that I will wait for him for three days at most, and within three days he will have no chance."

Sun Bin sneered when he heard the boy's report, "It's alarmist."

……

Three days later, Wang Cailiang's family, Zhou Zhougou's family, and Chen Gang's family were all taken to Tianqu Mansion, where they were protected by Zhong Shan'e.

And with Liu Yao's funds in place, Chu Qiguang laughed: "It's finally time to start."

Although Wang Cailiang didn't know what Chu Qiguang was going to do, he had a full 60 taels of silver in his hands. He had never mastered so much silver in his life. Just thinking about it now made his mouth dry.

Wang Cailiang swallowed, and asked, "What shall we do next?"

"Depress their share price first."

Wang Cailiang was puzzled again: "But how can the stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce plummet? Today's stockholders have been tested for a long time, and ordinary gossip may be useless."

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly: "Hehe, stockholders... like to swarm the bees the most. It's not that gossip is useless, but that it's not big enough."

"A lie repeated 100 times will become the truth. As long as the noise is big enough, I say that there is a virus in the stock market, and that wearing a cotton coat will make people fall into the devil. Believe it or not, some people will take it seriously."

Although Wang Cailiang didn't understand what the virus Chu Qiguang was talking about, he still nodded slightly: "Then what are we going to spread?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Isn't there a monster among the craftsmen of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce?"

Wang Cailiang instantly remembered that the first batch of craftsmen in the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce were executed by Chu Qiguang with the Heavenly Demon Foundation-Building Method.

That night, two Chongming birds flew over the counties.

Under Chu Qiguang's order, the leaflets that had been prepared in Yaoyin Village were being sprinkled down in pieces.

The next morning, a clerk picked up the leaflets that had fallen on the ground, barely read the words on them and said, "Qingyang Chamber of Commerce...workshop...demon..."

The shopkeeper at the side snatched the leaflet and said, "I can't read the words well, let me take a look. Qingyang Chamber of Commerce..."

After the shopkeeper was silent for a while, he asked in surprise, "There are monsters pretending to be craftsmen in the workshop of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce?"

The leaflet described it vividly, and the shopkeeper was dubious about it.

And as thousands of monsters in Yaoyin Village worked overtime to copy the leaflets, the rumors of the monster craftsmen in Qingyang Chamber of Commerce also spread to the whole Lingzhou at an unimaginable speed.

If it was only dubious at the beginning, as the momentum grew, the shareholders who held the shares of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce became uneasy, and the confidence of the market began to decline...

What if it is true?
What if someone else starts shipping?
What if it starts to fall?
In half a month, the rumors of monsters intensified.

Gradually, landlords and gentry began to sell their stocks under this trend.

The stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce has also fallen repeatedly in recent days, from 4 taels and 2 yuan at the beginning to 3 taels and 1 yuan.

But at this time, Chu Qiguang ordered: "Start to sweep the goods."

Wang Cailiang was surprised: "At this time?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Wu Wei and the others will not ignore the stock price drop, otherwise the shareholders will be dissatisfied with them."

"And now no one in the workshop can find the monsters, and they are in the same group as Tianshijiao."

"As long as they clarify and refute the rumors, the stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce will naturally start to rebound."

"I'm buying the stock of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce now, to earn the first wave first."

……

Wu Wei and Sun Bin on the other side are no longer willing to let the rumors spread more and more.

I saw that at noon these days, in front of the gate of the exchange, the guys set up a high platform.

A moment later, Wu Wei, Sun Bin, and the abbot of Qingyang County, Chen Zhu, took the stage one by one.

Wu Wei laughed, looked at the crowds of people on the street and said, "I heard that there are rumors recently that our workshop is full of monsters."

"I'm here to clarify that everything is a rumor."

"Next, Abbot Chenzhu of our Taoist Temple in Qingyang County will lead the Taoist priests to our workshop."

"Perform demon-subduing rituals there, dispel rumors, and correct people's hearts."

After stepping down, Sun Bin smiled coldly: "These stockholders listen to the wind and it rains."

In the next few days, Qingyang Exchange continued to clarify daily, and anyone who came to trade stocks could see it.

Following the actions of Wu Wei, Sun Bin, and Chen Zhu, the stock price seemed to have stabilized gradually after the workshop performed the ritual of subjugating demons, and then began to rebound.
