Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 90
"What's the good thing?" Wang Xifeng shrugged his shoulders, but never dropped Jia Lian's hands.

Jia Lian pulled Wang Xifeng and said, "Let's talk about it in another place. This matter is not suitable for others to hear."

Wang Xifeng cursed and followed Jia Lian to the hall.The two sent the maid away, leaving only Ping'er to wait on them.

Jia Lian then told the reasons.However, the eldest master, Jia She, lost his official position. Now he is at home. He was enjoying himself for the first two days, but as time went by, he became impatient.

I went out early this morning to gather with friends and friends. While the wine was flowing, someone congratulated Jia She repeatedly and said that if you want to make a fortune in the future, you will have to count on the help of the elder Jia She.

Jia She was puzzled and asked quickly, and a group of friends told him about the Inner Stock Exchange.However, the water market has fluctuated in the past few days. Someone bought 1000 shares of the water company one-two-one and sold them the next day, one-two-two. However, he made [-] taels of cash in one day!

The eldest boss, Jia She, is a relative and elder of Li Weijian, who created the water business. With inside information, wouldn't making money be like picking something out of a bag?
The elder Jia She was shocked when he heard this. All his stocks were sold out, and he wouldn't be able to take advantage of Li Weijian for a while. He didn't expect there to be such a way to make money!

He had previously transferred his stocks and got more than 1 taels of silver. Now he bought two fans, leaving 8000 taels of money. If he got the right information, wouldn't he be able to earn [-] taels of silver in one day?
Jia She immediately lost interest in drinking and having fun and hurried back to his home.Mrs.

Jia Lian couldn't resist, so he had to bite the bullet and ask Li Weijian.Li Weijian, who was good at knowing a thing or two, refused to spit it out easily, but he spit it out after just a few words!

With Wang Xifeng's temper, he always controlled him very hard. Second Master Lian had never been rich in his pocket.Now that he had such an opportunity to drop money from the sky, how could Jia Lian let it go?

After telling him the reason, Jia Lian said: "I see Brother Jian is constantly cheating, and I can't tell if the market will rise in a few days. If I miss it, I don't know when the next one will be. How much money do you have? That's all, no matter how much it is. Take it, and when you earn the money, you will benefit from it."

Wang Xifeng blinked, but said: "Brother Jian is not easy to mess with. Look at the Xue family, Brother Rong, and Brother Qiang. Although you didn't see how Brother Jian acted, what happened to these people? He Would you be so kind?"

Jia Lian said: "We have never harmed brother Jian. If you want to plot, you can't plot against us. I'm afraid you are too careless."

Wang Xifeng thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.He turned around and said: "Since there is such a good thing, I sent people to buy it myself and wait for the market. Why should I have to go through your second master Lian's hands again?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "How can I handle things properly now? I don't want much. I have earned money. Let's add two to one and make five..."

Wang Xifeng raised her hand and pushed away the hand touching her cheek, and said with a snort: "I want to blind you! Add two to one and make five? I'll send Wang'er to do it. I'll give you three or five taels of silver afterwards. What's wrong with that?" ?”

Jia Lian secretly cursed himself for being stupid. If he had known this, he should not have said that so easily.After a while of apologizing and coaxing, Wang Xifeng spat out: "Twenty-eight at most. If you don't do it, forget it."

Jia Lian pestered her a lot, but when she saw that Wang Xifeng was indifferent, she had no choice but to agree.I was thinking in my mind that if I could get [-]% from this side, my father would also give me some benefits if I said no.Calculating it this way, there is always a few hundred taels of silver in hand, so I can go to the Jinxiang Courtyard to have fun for a while.

The next day, Jia Lian went to Dongkua Yard to report to Jia She. Jia She received a rare compliment and lost 50 taels of silver as reward, which made Jia Lian sneer.

He turned back to look for Wang Xifeng, but it was not until the afternoon that Wang Xifeng scraped together 5000 taels of silver.

Wang Xifeng said: "My father is not rich. I still have a thousand and eight hundred taels of silver on hand. If I use it as a gold collar, I can always get a thousand or two or three hundred taels. You have to be careful when buying that stock. If it is discounted, Take a closer look at your skin!"

Jia Lian promised again and again, got the banknotes and gold collar, and quickly went to a pawn shop to pawn 300 taels. Plus the personal money he had saved, he collected 600 taels of silver and bought [-] shares of the water company before the deadline. Stock.

After all, it was his first time to buy and sell stocks. After buying, Jia Lian felt anxious and stayed at the exchange for an hour. Seeing that the water sign had not changed, Shi Shiran returned to Rongguo Mansion.

The next morning, Jia Lian arrived at the exchange early in time for the market to open.The stock price of Bendao had to be stable for a while, but unexpectedly, the water sign was listed for one or two cents at the opening, and the sign was taken off just as it was listed.

Not only that, the huge exchange was packed to the brim, and so many people came from nowhere, rushing to buy that stock like crazy.

Jia Lian was puzzled and quickly sent his confidant Xing'er to check. After a long time, Xing'er came back with sweat on his face and shouted: "Second Master, it was published in the newspaper this morning, saying that it was granted by the saint. , holding less than one penny of shares, is allowed to issue bearer shares, and subscribe for shares but not the person!”

Xing'er spoke confusingly, but Jia Lian was confused after hearing what he said. He hurriedly squeezed out and bought a newspaper. After careful observation, he finally got a rough idea.

These bearer shares are very complicated. Although they participate in dividends, they need to sign an agency holding agreement and be held by the internal government. The transfer does not need to go through the exchange. Both parties only need to go to the internal government to change the agency holding agreement.

Jia Lian was originally a smart person, and after careful consideration, he came up with the idea.The shares are anonymous and can be transferred very easily. Wouldn't it be convenient for everyone to hide their property?No wonder so many people came to the exchange today!
What a great benefit, Li Weijian really didn’t lie!

Excited, Jia Lian found a teahouse to sit around, and only sent a few servants to take turns staring at the water cards, and come back after a while to report back.

Near noon, Xing'er came to report that the stock had risen to one, two, three, and three, which was a profit of more than 380%!After all, Jia Lian was buying and selling stocks for the first time. He was afraid that the stock price would fall back again later, so he hurriedly squeezed into the exchange to take delivery.After a little calculation, I actually made a profit of [-] taels!

With a thick stack of banknotes in his hand, Mr. Lian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh!I thought in my heart, if I just go back to my house and smash the banknotes over, then Sister Feng will definitely stay humble...

Jia Lian is a little more cautious, but the elder Jia She is bold.He invested 8000 taels in the early morning, and when the market closed at noon, Jia She quickly sold his shares at a high of one, two, three, and five cents.

Moreover, the old man Jia She had just sold his shares, and the stock price immediately fell back. After all, he actually made more than 800 taels!

The eldest man, Jia She, couldn't help but feel complacent, and he went to Jinxiang Courtyard with a group of friends who had benefited from the money to have fun.

This time, King Zhongshun was a step late. After reading the newspaper in the morning, King Zhongshun secretly thought that this stock would definitely skyrocket. He rushed to the exchange immediately, but only picked up a water card worth one or two yuan. He was very cautious and got away with just one or two or three coins.However, King Zhongshun had a lot of capital, and he could buy and sell one hundred thousand shares, but he only got ten thousand taels of silver in one day.

Different from Jia Lian's Xiaofu Ji'an and Jia She's stupidity and boldness, King Zhongshun understood after thinking about it. If you buy more, it will rise, and if you sell more, it will fall. In this way, if you have enough capital, why can't you let it go? Then the water card follows your own wishes, it goes up when you want to go up, and it goes down when you want to go down?Isn't this just the big fish eating the small fish?Wonderful! …………………………………………

Xinjiekou.

Water stocks were soaring, but Li Weijian and King Zhongyong came to Xinjiekou.

Since the shares were sold, the government had plenty of money, so the money for water services was naturally enough.Now the water tower is more than four feet tall, with scaffolding erected around it. The winch is turned to lift a huge water tank two feet square onto it.

The water tank is wide at the top and narrowed down at the bottom, resembling an extra funnel. The inside is plated with Japanese lead, the outside is coated with anti-corrosion tung oil, and the four characters "Jingshi Water Affairs" are written in vermilion paint around it.

It took a whole day to install the water tank in place. It will take some time to cap it and install the water pipes. The water tower will be ready for use around the beginning of June.

Under the water tower, King Zhongyong walked around the scaffolding around the water tower with his hands behind his back, accompanied by Li Weijian.Just after the hour passed, a bookkeeper rushed over. He came forward to see me with a big gift, and then told me what he had learned today.

Taking advantage of the good news, the inner government released another half of the shares at an average price of one, two, three, and collected nearly 500 million taels of silver.King Zhongyong was overjoyed and said "good" repeatedly.

Li Weijian, who was accompanying him, asked, "Are there any big players taking action today?"

The secretary said: "Just after Chen Shi, King Zhongshun came to the exchange in person and bought one hundred thousand shares. After noon, he sold them again and made nearly 1 taels of silver."

After hearing this, King Zhongyong snorted coldly. King Zhongshun suppressed his current brother when he took over the throne. Naturally, King Zhongyong did not like to see his second brother.

After being sent away from the office, King Zhongyong said: "After resurrecting, King Zhongshun is getting worse and worse. I wonder when I can teach him a lesson?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not urgent. If you want to fish, you have to let the fish eat the bait first. In a few days, the inner government will set up a new branch to operate this stock lending. Then you won't be afraid of that. The loyal and obedient king will not fall into the urn."

"Well, then we have to wait for another ten days. That's fine."

King Zhongyong put his hands behind his hands and walked forward for a while. He saw several government officials driving the water pump, and water from the well gurgled out.Behind the mouth of the well, stretching out for nearly a street, there were people squeezing and carrying buckets of water everywhere.

Seeing it in his eyes, King Zhongyong thought to himself, these are all coins.So he asked: "Resurrection, now all the waterways in the capital are being exiled and running away, all the dry wells are scattered, and only a few sweet wells are left to support themselves. When will our water service start charging?"

Li Weijian thought about it and said: "This matter is entirely up to the prince. However, according to the students' opinion, it is better for the inner government to spend money to win those sweet water wells."

"That makes sense. I'll send someone to buy it later. I don't think it will cost much money."

Throughout the dynasties, only a single business has been able to make a steady profit without losing money.In these days when water services are free, waterways everywhere are so crowded that it is impossible to make a living.

No one visits the dry wells, and the waterways with no records disappear by themselves.So far, only six sweet water wells are still holding on.King Zhongyong used his power to suppress others, and if he offered a similar price, all the waterways in the capital would be in the hands of the inner government.

Li Weijian returned home early that day, returned the carriage, and walked along the road towards his small courtyard.When we were walking around the east courtyard, we just heard the sound of crying coming from inside, but we couldn't hear it clearly through the courtyard wall, so we had to walk slowly back to the small courtyard in the northeast.

When the time was approaching, Hongyu went to get dinner and came back and said: "Fourth Master, I just heard that Aunt Zhao and the third girl were having a quarrel. Aunt Zhao's chatter was overheard by the wife. At this moment, the wife is busy. I’m punishing Aunt Zhao to set some rules.”

"And this thing?"

Li Weijian has lived in two generations and has a deep memory of Aunt Zhao in the TV series.At first she was just a clown, but when she got older, she realized how extraordinary Aunt Zhao was.

He was so out of touch and got into trouble many times, but he managed to live well in Rongguo Mansion, especially in front of Mrs. Wang.Jia Zheng had two concubines, Aunt Zhou, who had a gentle temperament, but did not have a son or a half of her daughter. On the contrary, Aunt Zhao had both sons and daughters.

Once here, Li Weijian decided to find out whether Aunt Zhao was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Speaking of the ruby ​​in detail, it was Aunt Zhao who bumped into the fourth girl, Xichun, this morning. She saw that she was wearing a bracelet of eighteen Buddhist beads. She thought it was rare and asked a few questions.The maid entered the painting quickly and said that this object was a gift from Li Weijian.

Aunt Zhao's heart suddenly moved. Those eighteen beads looked extraordinary, and she couldn't believe that they would be dozens of taels larger if she bought them.Considering that Li Weijian suddenly became rich and was a lavish spender, how could the birth gift be cheap?

Immediately, he went to look for Tanchun and coaxed Tanchun to take out the congratulatory gift from Li Weijian.Aunt Zhao suddenly became sour when she saw that what she took out was just a worthless flute and sword!

He said that Li Weijian was just a waiter and looked down upon the third girl who was a concubine.The second girl and the third girl who were concubines, the former gave worthless poems, and the latter gave some scraps of scrap metal. But the fourth girl, who was a direct concubine of Dongfu, Li Weijian gave a string of Buddhist beads.

In Tanchun's heart, Li Weijian was a close brother. Hearing this, he felt dissatisfied, so he criticized him a few times, which immediately made Aunt Zhao scold him.Aunt Zhao got angry and didn't hide it. She scolded Tanchun and then scolded his wife for being partial. She only cared about Baoyu, her legitimate son, but ignored Jia Huan, who was born by a concubine.

Aunt Zhao's courtyard is to the east of Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Mrs. Wang happened to have seen Aunt Xue return and was listening attentively.

Mrs. Wang immediately changed direction and went to Aunt Zhao's courtyard, so Aunt Zhao was in trouble.

Li Weijian listened with great interest, but couldn't tell whether Aunt Zhao was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.It is said that the truth is also false when it is false. Who can tell the difference between true and false?
For example, the loyal and obedient king has been pretending to be a pig for more than ten years, and now he has become a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, waiting to be slaughtered one day.
