Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 343 Brat, I really belong to you!

If Dagan only retains 30% of the shares, it means that [-]% of the shares will be sold. According to Li Changfeng's plan, [-] people can get such an opportunity.

Although it is only one percent, it is already very amazing for the huge size of the entire country.

The eyes of all the ministers lit up.

"Your Highness, when will it be sold?"

"How much silver per share?"

"Can one person buy more than one copy?"

"..."

The ministers looked excited, if Emperor Qianwu was not still there, they would have rushed over directly.

Li Changfeng smiled slightly and said: "My lords, this prince has to carefully consider the specific plan, so don't be impatient."

The joint-stock reform of the Ministry of Railways was Li Changfeng's idea on the spur of the moment. How to maximize the benefits still needs to be carefully planned.

Seeing what Li Changfeng said, the officials didn't want to ask more questions.

Emperor Qianwu asked: "Are you dear friends, do you have anything else to play?"

At this time, most of the ministers were thinking about the shares in their hearts, and they bowed their heads in silence where they had any thoughts on discussing state affairs.

Emperor Qianwu then announced his resignation and called Li Changfeng to the imperial study.

"Stinky boy, you didn't let me know in advance about such a big matter?"

Although Emperor Qianwu was blaming him, there was no anger on his face, instead he was a little happy.

This kind of money can be raised without affecting the overall situation, which is really clever.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "Father, the ministers are improvising, how do you know that the treasury is so poor?"

"Isn't it your fault? Your cannons, muskets, grenades, hot air balloons, etc. are too expensive!"

"Father, you can't talk like that. The research institute's investment is real. You can check the accounts. Besides, Erchen helped you get [-]% of the shares."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Emperor Qianwu waved his hand to change the subject, "How much silver are you going to sell?"

Emperor Qianwu was very concerned about the price.

If the selling price is too low, he feels he is losing money.

The selling price is too high. If no one buys it, it would be a bit embarrassing to make such a noise.

As an emperor, he still cares about face very much.

"How much to sell is determined by the market."

"What do you mean?"

"My son is going to hold an auction, and the highest bidder wins. Only in this way can we ensure the maximum benefit for us."

"Auction..." Emperor Ganwu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's a good way."

"By the way, father, you should also sell those shares."

"This share is so profitable, why sell it?"

"Make money? This business can't make money!" Li Changfeng shook his head with a solemn expression.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Ganwu asked in confusion.

Li Changfeng said seriously: "The railway is an infrastructure related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. It should serve the convenience of the people and promote the circulation of commerce. The railway should not be a tool for making money."

Emperor Ganwu nodded, he agreed with this point.

But now railways are much cheaper than traditional transportation methods, whether it is the fare for transporting passengers or the price of goods, and it does not violate the service attributes of railways.

And as far as the current trend is concerned, it will take a few years to recover the cost and start making money, and there is no conflict between the two.

He still didn't understand what Li Changfeng meant.

Li Changfeng continued: "Father, don't think that the railway can make money now, but think about it, if the mileage reaches a thousand miles, what about ten thousand miles? How many people are needed to maintain the long mileage? How many people are needed to guard it? How many people does it feed?"

Emperor Qianwu showed a thoughtful look.

Li Changfeng continued: "As the mileage increases, the cost continues to rise. In order to promote the development of the country, the price of the ticket cannot be easily increased. How much profit margin can there be? Maybe you will lose money, unless you raise the price casually, Father."

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu understood completely.

He nodded and said: "That's right, the price must not be raised casually, and the railway cannot be reduced to a tool for making money. It is best to sell the shares in your hand at a high price now!"

Li Changfeng gave a thumbs up: "Father is wise!"

"Okay, stop flattering." Emperor Qianwu said helplessly, "Aren't you cheating civil and military officials by doing this? After they see the situation clearly in the future, they won't hate you to death."

In his heart, Li Changfeng is the best candidate to take over the position of Emperor Daqian in the future, and it is not good for him to govern in the future if he cheats dozens of important officials in the court so openly.

Li Changfeng said indifferently: "Don't worry, father, there is almost no possibility for the ministers of the court to buy railway stocks, because the target of the ministers was not them from the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

"My son's goal is the Eight Great Aristocratic Families!"

Emperor Ganwu was stunned for a moment, then he figured out the key point, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Stinky boy, it's really yours!"

No matter how rich the ministers of the DPRK and China are, can they compare with the eight great families?
I'm afraid it's not even a fraction.

Now the business of the eight great families is getting worse and worse under the influence of Li Changfeng, such as the Zhao family selling coal, the Shangguan family doing steel business, the Shen family doing medicine business, and so on.

In particular, the Wang family, which originally sold salt, went bankrupt as a pillar industry.

They hold a lot of cash on hand, and they will definitely not let go of such a good thing as the Ministry of Railways' public sale of shares.

Li Changfeng adopted the method of auction, how could those court ministers compete for it?
Seeing that Emperor Ganwu understood, Li Changfeng smiled and said: "This is a good opportunity to cut leeks, Father, you can just wait to collect the money."

"Haha, good! Good!"

Emperor Qianwu was very happy.

The two chatted about some details, and after half an hour, Li Changfeng left the palace and returned home.

It didn't take long before ministers from the DPRK and China came to ask for an audience.

Li Changfeng knew that they wanted to buy shares through the back door, so he didn't bother to see any of them, so he asked his servants to tell them that they would announce a specific sale plan in the near future.

The more stable Li Changfeng was, the more anxious the dignitaries of the capital became.

Such a big event was quickly spread to everyone.

This is what Li Changfeng wanted.

After the matter had fermented for three full days, people posted a specific share sale plan outside the door.

The plan is eloquent with nearly a thousand words, but the core content is actually two points.

First, the shares will be sold publicly in the form of auction, half a month later, at Diandude.

Second, anyone can participate in the auction as long as they have enough silver.

Half a month is the time for Li Changfeng to respond to the Eight Great Aristocratic Families.

Because the core decision makers of some of the eight major families are not in the capital, for example, the head of the Wang family is in the old nest of Yunzhou.

As for the fact that he and Emperor Qianwu also sold their shares, it was not announced.

There are many smart people who work hard, and if he sees clues from it, it will affect his plan.

When the day of the auction comes, the uncooked rice will be cooked into cooked rice, and it won't be too late after the money is in hand.

Anyway, he has the final say on rules and regulations, and no one can do anything about him.
