casket of old days

Chapter 339 The General Assembly
A hundred households from the Zhenmag Division stood beside Chu Qiguang and Yang Ling, introducing to them the people who attended the shareholders' meeting.

These hundred households are called Liu Fang, pointing to a middle-aged man in the distance at this moment, he said: "This is Fei Yixian, the elder son of Fei Pavilion."

"That person is Dao Gang Si Dade of Lingzhou, Daoist Wang Xi Wang."

"That is Prince Hui..."

Prince Hui is a fat man who weighs more than two hundred catties. He is particularly conspicuous among the group of warriors. He is chatting and laughing with Wu Wei and Sun Bin.

With the introduction of Baihu, Chu Qiguang connected the names and faces one by one.

Soon after, the conference was officially held, and hundreds of representatives present attended the meeting one by one.

Zhong Shan'e sat in the first place, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I don't need to say more about the situation of the Qingyang and Yunzhong chambers of commerce."

"The stock price has plummeted, and the gentry everywhere have suffered heavy losses. In the past two days, the yamen at all levels in Lingzhou has almost been stepped through the threshold."

"Continuing to let it go, I am afraid that a turmoil will break out."

"The imperial court attaches great importance to this. I specially invite you to gather today to calm the chaos in the stock market and stabilize people's hearts."

"If you have anything to say, it's better to speak freely."

In fact, Zhong Shan'e is a thousand households of the Zhenma Division, and theoretically he has no control over textiles and stocks.

But who told him that he was a Martial God, and he also represented the current emperor behind him.

If he really wants to intervene, there are few things in Lingzhou that he can't get involved in.

The representatives of each family began to speak, nothing more than crying poor, selling miserably, narrating their heavy losses and hardships in life.

Zhong Shan'e listened patiently, and suddenly one person stood up and said, "The stock price fell, all because some monster spread the blueprint of the hydraulic loom. This hydraulic loom is a unique tool of my Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."

"As long as the imperial court can prohibit other businesses from disseminating blueprints and manufacturing hydraulic textile machines, the stock price will naturally rise instead of falling."

Representatives of each family stood up and began to echo, hoping that the court would order to prohibit other chambers of commerce from disseminating and manufacturing hydraulic looms.

These are all shareholders in series with Wu Wei, and their purpose is not to really ban hydraulic looms, but to need such a slogan.

With this slogan, when they secretly buy high and sell high, they will have a chance to raise the stock price, and then find a taker to exit safely.

Hearing their strong appeal, Zhong Shan'e looked into the distance: "Yang Ling, Chu Qiguang, what do you think?"

Yang Ling got up and introduced himself and Chu Qiguang.

When everyone heard that Yang Ling was actually sent by the emperor to investigate the Lingzhou stock market, their eyes changed slightly.

There is no way, the reputation of Emperor Yong'an to squeeze out the merits of cultivating immortals is too deep in the hearts of the people.

In one year, they even embezzled disaster relief money to buy pills.

Seeing Yang Ling now...Many shareholder representatives began to worry that the emperor would come to share a piece of the pie.

As for Chu Qiguang, although he is somewhat notorious in the Tianyu School, and some people know that he was the one who created the original Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, but no one cares about him at this juncture.

Facing everyone's eyes, Chu Qiguang stood up and said, "I'm afraid the method these people said is not appropriate."

Since Chu Qiguang's appearance, Sun Bin has been frowning, and now his face darkens after hearing the words.

Wu Wei on the side was even more angry. After all, Chu Qiguang's objection... In his opinion, it blocked his way of making money.

What's more, it blocked the financial resources involving 10,000+ and hundreds of thousands of silver.

In particular, Chu Qiguang was supposed to be on their side, which made Wu Wei even more angry.

He stood up and said, "Chu Qiguang! If those thugs outside are not prohibited from abusing hydraulic looms, how can the stock price be guaranteed?"

Prince Hui, who weighed more than 200 catties, also said: "Chu Qiguang, I'm afraid you have been away from Qingyang Chamber of Commerce for too long, and you don't know how involved the stock market is today. All the shareholders here today have lost several million taels in total. silver."

Sun Bin sternly said: "Prince Hui is right. If we don't prohibit the random dissemination of hydraulic looms among the people, I'm afraid that the people in Lingzhou will lose their homes and property. Can you take this responsibility?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Isn't it because the blueprint of the hydraulic loom was spread because monsters were mixed into the workshop of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce and they stole it?"

Sun Bin snorted: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most urgent thing is to save the market. If you can't think of a way, get out quickly and don't disturb the meeting."

Prince Hui waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, Chu Qiguang, you step back, what's the use of pursuing responsibility now."

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly: "Dear shareholders, the stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce soared at the beginning because of the magic weapon of hydraulic spinning machine."

"Now that the hydroloom has been leaked, the stock price has started to fall again."

"But if there is a better machine, the stock price will naturally go up again, and the leak of the hydraulic textile machine will not matter."

Hearing what Chu Qiguang said, everyone present was slightly surprised.

Then when Chu Qiguang brought everyone to the workshop where the mule machine was installed, all the shareholder representatives showed surprise, doubt, excitement... and so on.

Accompanied by the operation of the mule machine, Chu Qiguang slowly introduced:

"This one is called a mule machine."

"I led the craftsmen to improve from the original hydraulic spinning machine..."

"This machine combines the yarn-drawing drum and the main slide table for the spindle..."

"The number of spindles has increased from 400 to over 900..."

"The yarn produced is not only finer and stronger, but also the efficiency has been increased several times..."

With Chu Qiguang's introduction, the eyes of all shareholders present lit up.

They are all people who have already tasted the sweetness of new equipment. Now facing the mule machine whose productivity has improved again, how can they not be aware of the benefits.

Fei Yixian, the eldest son of the former Chief Assistant Fei Yi, couldn't help but said at first: "Young Master Chu, I offer 1 taels for this mule machine, you can sell me."

Dao Gang Si Dade of Lingzhou, Daoist Wang Xiwang sneered and said: "1 taels is like buying this new appliance? Do you think everyone is a fool?"

As the two spoke, the scene instantly became noisy, and shareholders wanted to buy the mule machine.

Wu Wei and Sun Bin looked at each other and looked at each other, but they didn't expect Chu Qiguang to have such a skill.

Facing the shouts of the crowd, Chu Qiguang waved his hands, finally quieting everyone down, and then said: "To be honest, I originally wanted to sell this mule machine to Mr. Wu Wei."

"It's a pity that the last time I visited, Mr. Wu didn't want to see him."

Hearing this, many shareholders of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce glared at Wu Wei.

Even Prince Hui couldn't help but glared at him.

Wu Wei looked dazed, and couldn't remember when Chu Qiguang was going to sell his mule machine.

Sun Bin on the side turned pale, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "But then I met Yang Ling and Yang Baihu, and he advised me to open my own chamber of commerce directly, with the emperor and Zhenmasi as shareholders."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

If Chu Qiguang, Zhenmosi, and Emperor Yong'an started the chamber of commerce by relying on mule machines, their stocks would be even more worthless.

But after hearing Chu Qiguang change the subject, he said again: "However, making money is small, and state affairs are the most important. Now that Lingzhou's stock market is in turmoil, I am willing to take over for the country."

"The purpose of this shareholders' meeting is to let the chamber of commerce under my name acquire Yunzhong and Qingyang..."
