Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 690 Trading Center
The strength of Datang is not limited to one aspect. As everyone sees more and more benefits of innovation, the research and progress of all walks of life have not stopped in recent years.

For example, in the past, only a big hotel in Wangjianglou served delicious dishes, but now it is different. They are all created by people of this era.

This also proves the correctness of one of Sun Xiangfu's basic theories before, that is, nothing can withstand research. Thinking can bring them benefits, and they can continue to develop and progress in this direction.

At that time, Sun Xiangfu asked the group of Xingfu Village to grope and fire clay cement in the cave dwelling. Now, the cement has undergone several researches and improvements, at least it is close to the cement commonly used in our society in the 80s and [-]s of later generations, reaching this level. The standard is enough for Datang to build high-rise buildings.

There is also the pulp paper that Sun Xiangfu asked the craftsmen of Xingfu Village to research. Now, there are dozens of different products that can supply books, paintings, packaging, decoration and other aspects, not just the cultural industry. .

There are more and more things, all of which have made great progress. Therefore, after Heraclius and his group really wandered around Chang'an, they felt the gap between the Byzantine Empire and the Tang Empire. The things here, In their view, everything is good, even poop is precious, except when he poops, it is difficult for him to see that thing, because it will go through the flushing and sewage system, and it will be collected by others and leached into fertilizer .

"His Royal Highness, we have already contacted the suppliers for you for the materials you want, but without the official permission of Datang, they can only supply us with a small amount. If you want to buy more of these materials, I’m afraid, I have to go to another place and spend more money.” A Byzantine student studying abroad in Chang’an reported to Heraclius in the five-wheel sightseeing car provided by Wangjianglou Hotel.

Chirac, who was a little dazed looking at the scenery outside the car window, came back to his senses after a while and asked, "Where is it?"

"Datang's stock exchange center." The foreign student replied.

"Securities Exchange Center? What does that do?" Heraclius had never heard the term before, and asked even more puzzled.

"That's a place for industrial equity transactions..." The international student explained to Heraclius in detail what is called a joint-stock system and some rules for stock trading. Immediately, Heraclius was a little delighted. If you are crazy, Datang, someone will actually sell their property to the outside world.

"What do you mean, I can use money to buy part of Datang's listed properties and become their major shareholder, and then, I will have a certain say in these properties?" Heraclius's eyes tightened Staring at the foreign student and asking, he desperately hoped to get an affirmative answer.

The international student nodded and replied, "Yes, eldest prince, although you can't be the largest shareholder and have too much power to speak, in the long run, it will benefit you a lot. For example, you bought The shares of the five clan groups in Qicheng become their shareholders. Then, when you buy food, horses, and other supplies from these clan groups, their profits will be distributed to you according to your shareholding ratio. That can save you a lot of money."

"But, why did Datang give up the benefits to outsiders for nothing like this?" Heraclius is not stupid. After his initial excitement passed, he felt that this advantage seemed too easy to take advantage of, and it was a bit unreal. Continue asked.

"This is not just for us to take advantage of. The reason why those families want to issue stocks is because they want to use the money from the people who bought the stocks to expand and develop their industries and earn more money. In this way, they can get There will be more benefits, and this is actually a mutually beneficial strategy.

Moreover, these share transactions have little to do with the Tang court, because the Tang court will only collect taxes when the shares are traded.

However, if there is no new industry to issue shares at present, then you can only pay a high price to acquire the shares in the hands of other shareholders. "This Byzantine student who was somewhat knowledgeable in the Tang Dynasty explained to Heraclius.

Hearing this, Chirac said with confusion in his eyes, "I think, I know why Datang has risen so quickly, their model is simply too powerful, and it can greatly speed up their development.

However, it is worthwhile for us to pay a high price to buy shares in some industries. As long as we hold their shares and become their shareholders, we can share their operating benefits for a long time. Moreover, these shares themselves are also very valuable. If you want to purchase from a certain industry for a long time, it is more cost-effective to hold shares in their industry, because they will give me part of the money they earn from me. "

The international student praised, "Prince, you are so smart. It is for this reason that I suggest that you go to Datang's stock exchange center. The food crops, after the research of the most powerful farm in their country, can reach more than [-] catties per mu, and there are several such crops. The Datang people in the stock exchange center are now trying to find ways to buy and own these species Ownership, the shares of overseas exploration companies, because with these ultra-high-yield new food species, this company will gain huge benefits, but those who originally held shares of this company, no one is willing to sell. "

"Ten thousand catties per mu? Did you find it overseas?" The Byzantine Empire has had frequent trade with Datang in recent years. Heraclius is familiar with the weight of a catty in Datang. After hearing the words of this foreign student, he was surprised. Mouth said.

The foreign student nodded and confirmed, "Yes, the news should not be wrong. Now, whether it is a foreign businessman or a native of Datang, they all want to get the seeds and planting technology of these new crops. The stock of this company has recently been sold. It has increased several times, but if you are only asking for species, you may be able to pay some price directly to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and you may get it."

"Ask for it? Since Datang found these things overseas, why don't we send ships to look for them overseas?" Chirac said with a little disdain.

He thought that the navigation technology of the Byzantine Empire, which relied on the Mediterranean Sea to develop its economy, must be almost the same as that of the Tang Dynasty. However, the foreign student who often saw water ships in Chang'an knew that this was not the case.

"His Royal Highness, it is not so easy to go overseas. I have heard from many students of Datang that in order to explore seas thousands of miles away, Datang has devoted himself to preparing for many years. After they came out, they dared to take this step, and it took about two years of exploration voyages before they retrieved the species.

And our ship, not to mention comparing it with their big steel ship, even compared with those ordinary commercial water ships in the Yellow River waterway, there is a huge gap, I'm afraid..."

The foreign student didn't continue talking, because he knew that the ships of the Byzantine Empire often had accidents when they sailed in places like the Mediterranean Sea where there was not much wind and waves!Going to the open sea is even less reliable.

How big is the Mediterranean Sea?

The total length from east to west is only [-] kilometers, the widest point is only [-] kilometers, and the narrowest point is only [-] kilometers wide. Compared with the boundless ocean surrounded by the continent, the sea surrounded by the continent is It's not the same thing at all.

Heraclius has never been on a boat in Datang yet, but seeing the expression of this foreign student, he also knows that the gap may be very large, and if it takes several years to find these things, it will be too slow , so he said, "Since it is a crop, it will be planted on a large scale. No matter how well the Tang Dynasty controls it, we still have a chance to get some seeds and planting techniques. For such things, we must pay the price to ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, But it's not worth it."

"However, its output is too amazing. As long as it is planted on a large scale, it can almost instantly solve the food problem for everyone in a country. If the big cannibal planted it on a large scale earlier than us, the consequences would be unimaginable. "The international student seemed a little worried.

Hearing this, Heraclius showed surprise, and after a long time, he said, "Unexpectedly, every move of the Tang Dynasty can already affect the life and death of our Byzantine Empire. It seems that not only can we not delay, but we have to pay enough. The price is to ensure that we can be the first to introduce these species on a large scale.

However, in order to reduce the cost of introducing species, we can first buy the shares of the company that owns these species. Others can’t buy them because their bids are too low. If we directly buy at a high price, someone will sell some For us, so, now, let's go to that trading center to have a look! "

However, when Heraclius' car stopped at the trading center, he found that there were already many familiar figures here. These people were the kings or representatives of the countries in the Western Regions who came to Chang'an all the way with him, like Ai Buberkel, Poni, Yi Siqi and others are all there.

And inside and outside the entire hall, there are also huge crowds of people, hundreds of staff wearing vests, commonly known as traders, are constantly running in the hall, among them, the staff running around the trading channel of the stock with the label 000001 is the most .

And that foreign student directly brought him Heraclius to the trading area here. The current price marked on the sign is 23 pentacles, and there are more than 2 shares entrusted to buy, but there is no price entrusted to sell.

Back then, when Sun Xiangfu issued the original shares of Overseas Exploration Investment Company, the stock price was ten cents a share. With the reform of family businesses, after joint-stock companies with assets of more than ten million yuan were listed one after another, the shares of Overseas Exploration Investment Company have already been sold. Two [-]:[-] splits, that is to say, the original one original stock has become the current four shares, and its price has more than doubled. In just a few years, its value That's more than eight times the amount.

And the reason why it has risen so fast is not because of how much it actually made. In fact, the money used to buy ships, build the Lantian Vocational and Technical College to train talents, support hundreds of thousands of employees, and invest After the construction of the docks on various overseas islands, the cost is actually about the same.

Only because its asset valuation has been rising slowly, its stock price will slowly rise. For example, its pasture in Australia has reached hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and there are countless hares. Counting, moreover, this high-speed expansion model has not changed. Once these things start to be shipped to the Datang market in batches due to the stability of the route, then they can recover cash in large quantities and distribute dividends to shareholders.

And after the exploration fleet brought back new species this year, its price suddenly rose five or six times, which is why its stock price is still as high as 23% after two splits.

"Go, tell them, I want to buy [-] shares of this Datang Overseas Exploration Investment Company, and the price is [-] shares." Heraclius said after the foreign students explained the situation clearly to him.

Thirty guan one share, one hundred thousand shares, that is 300 million guan. When the international student heard this number, his heart shrank suddenly, and his eyes looked nervously at a window on the second floor. Over there, Ma Zhou, Tang Fengyi The two of them were also looking at him.

"His Royal Highness, if you want to bid to buy stocks, you need to provide the asset certificate to the trader first. If the transaction is successful, you need to pay or transfer the account immediately." The study abroad seemed to be talking about the rules with Heraclius, but the tone Among them, there was actually a little guilty conscience, but Heraclius didn't hear it.

"My prince has brought enough money to Datang to purchase this time. Here is my proof of depositing coins in the Datang bank in Suiye City. I heard that any bank in Datang can directly transfer or withdraw money. Can that be used as proof?"

"Yes, this voucher is called a large-amount passbook, and it can be directly transferred to the transaction window of the trading center." The foreign student took the passbook Heraclius took out from his arms, opened it and glanced at it, and immediately narrowed his eyes. , the heartbeat quickened, because it was impressively written on it that the deposit balance was 2000 million.

And when he walked to the trading window with this huge passbook, he actually struggled a little in his heart. However, the short-term inner struggle did not change anything. Directly higher than the high price of 20.00% of the current price, a buy order of [-] shares was placed.
