Early the next morning, Zhao Hao drove to the headquarters of the Xishan Company in Dashilar to participate in the temporary board of directors.

There are four corridors, and on the three-storey bronze canopy, there is a plaque with the inscription of the imperial pen - 'Royal Xishan Coal Industry', and the gilt font shines in the daylight.

Under the plaque, well-dressed gentry and merchants are constantly walking up the black marble steps.

By the open colorful glass door, a doorman wearing uniform black clothes and trousers, cowhide boots, and thorny iron rods stood vigilantly watching the crowd coming in and out.

Seeing Zhao Hao's carriage stop outside the store, Wu Yu, who was guarding the door early in the morning, hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door and whispered to Zhao Hao: "There are many people in front, please enter through the back door." ”

"No, look at the excitement and go up again." Zhao Gongzi jumped out of the car by himself, he was wearing a fluttering scarf, wearing a riotous light red robe, stepping on a pair of silk cloud shoes, and walking away from the company hall with a folding fan in hand.

When I entered the store, I was suddenly opened. The morning sun shines through the intricately patterned glazed roof, illuminating the three-storey sky-high lobby.

In the hall, there are rows of benches, and the chairs are basically full. There are servants who walk around with tea trays and pour water for customers.

While chatting with each other, the customers nervously stared at the water signs hanging out behind the mahogany counter.

On the white water sign is the stock registered for sale today. Each water card is a separate order with the number of shares to be sold and the reserve price per share.

The stockbroker behind the counter will bid the price in turn, and the customers will bid for the purchase, and the highest price will win. The broker then removes the corresponding water sign from the wall and invites the buyer to come to the counter to trade. The broker continues to sell the next water card.

These are all figured out by Sun Fatzi himself, Zhao Hao didn't know about it in advance, so he found a vacant seat and sat down with great interest to see how the buyer bids.

At first, he saw that the buyers were quite enthusiastic about raising the price, and he thought that Xishan Company was deliberately raising the price by auction. But after looking at it for a while, I realized that it was not, because all the stocks entrusted for sale today are all hung on the wall at odd numbers and reserve prices.

This transparency makes it impossible for buyers to bid too high for a particular order. If the price increase exceeds the psychological valuation, just wait for the next order, and there is no need to grab the head for a single order.

Therefore, although the buyers enthusiastically bid, they increased the price to a certain extent, and Zhao Hao sat down for tea, but he didn't see anyone offer more than sixty taels of unit price.

This made him sigh again, Da Ming is really capable, this system, at least for the time being, can prevent the stock price from fluctuating too much, so as to protect the interests of buyers and sellers.

The fly in the ointment is that at present, there are only two stocks of Xishan Company and Lugouqiao Company listed in the hall, and no shares of the third company have been sold.

When Zhao Hao was in Jiangnan, he obviously heard that many businesses in Beijing City had followed suit and reformed into joint-stock companies, and they had also begun to try to issue shares, but he didn't know whether it was Xishan Company's xenophobia, or those companies were unwilling to follow suit. In short, at present, this is not a stock trading center, but only an exchange for its own stocks.

Zhao Hao silently timed, and in about a quarter of an hour, he traded seven or eight shares of Xishan Company, a total of more than 100 shares. Lugouqiao Company also traded six or seven orders, seventy or eighty shares, and the stock price was close to the level of Xishan Company, almost fifty taels of silver per share.

This is nonsense, after all, Lugouqiao Company is only a processing and sales enterprise, how can it be similar to a resource-based enterprise like Xishan Company?

Zhao Hao threw this question to the buyers on the side, and the answer he got was that because Lugouqiao Company was the major shareholder of Xishan Company. Isn't owning the shares of Lugouqiao Company equivalent to owning the shares of Xishan Company? So the stock prices of the two are about the same, which is very reasonable.

Zhao Gongzi was actually stunned, this is the same as Yahoo's stock price is supported by Alibaba. It seems that the innocence and cuteness of investors are timeless and timeless.

He wanted to talk to these 'lovely investors' again, but the directors were already there. I had to get up and leave the trading floor, ready to go upstairs.

At the top of the stairs, there are two security guards, and idlers are exempted. If it weren't for Tang Fatzi and Sun Dawu coming down, Zhao Hao wouldn't have been able to go up to the second floor.

~~

On the third floor, the directors and supervisors of Xishan Company were at the door of the conference hall to greet Zhao Gongzi after a long absence.

Zhao Hao showed a warm smile, greeted them one by one, and walked into the conference hall surrounded by everyone.

Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, Zhu Shimao, who crooked his neck, Li Fang, Ji Gonggong, Zhao Xian, Wu Kangyuan, Tang Youde, Sun Dawu, Guo Da and other members of the board of directors, as well as members of the board of supervisors such as British Gong and Zhang Qianfa who attended the meeting, all sat down at the mahogany long table.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was tired today, and Zhao Hao vacated the top spot and sat down on the second top chair on the side.

After the maids served tea to the directors and supervisors, Wu Yu led all the unrelated people to wait and personally guarded outside the conference hall.

The bright sunlight in the capital shines warmly through the large glass windows. Zhao Gongzi praised everyone with a smile: "The trading hall on the first floor is doing well, and it looks like the transaction is very active." ”

"Before the dividend at the end of the year, the transaction is much higher than now." Xu Wenbi, who was on the other side, was a little dissatisfied and said: "After the New Year, it has been dull, and two or three thousand shares are traded in one day." ”

Several directors also nodded in agreement.

"It's not a low turnover." Zhao Hao calculated that Xishan Company had a total of 1.4 million shares, and no more than 200,000 shares were circulated outside. The turnover rate of more than 1% is definitely not low at this stage.

"I think you don't think the stock price will go up, right?" In the blink of an eye, he understood what these guys really thought.

The directors were told that they were out of their minds, and they laughed. The company's stock price has skyrocketed for a year, which has already nourished their appetite. Now that the stock price has entered a plateau, they are starting to get anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll come back here and help you at least double the stock price, how about it?" I saw Zhao Gongzi smiling.

"That's a good feeling!" The directors were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were dreaming of going up and up.

"Childe, isn't it necessary to let Xishan Company produce cement?" Zhu Shimao asked, crooked his neck.

After brushing the floor, everyone's eyes were on Zhao Gongzi, and their eyes were warmer than the sunlight outside the window.

The name of cement concrete has long been passed from Jiangnan to Beijing. In Beijing, where the political atmosphere is stronger, cement, an infrastructure artifact, is naturally more attractive.

Moreover, the inventor of cement is still Zhao Gongzi, the founder of Xishan Company, and the directors have long been salivating.

"What's this," Zhao Gongzi played Tai Chi and said to the directors with a smile: "It's not for me to have the final say." Because I have already transferred the patent to Jiangnan Group, this strategic asset must of course be decided by the board of directors of the group. ”

Gangnam Group does not have a public offering of shares, so all the status of the company is opaque. The outside world does not even know which directors of the group are, and naturally there is no way to know the group's shareholding structure.

In the view of the directors of Xishan Company, Zhao Gongzi has only been in Jiangnan for less than a year, and he can quickly make Jiangnan Group bigger and stronger, and he must have transferred a large part of his interests in exchange for the full support of Jiangnan Haoshi Family. Therefore, they all believed in Zhao Hao's excuses, and no one thought that he was actually reversing in Jiangnan Group and making a big deal, without decentralization and enlightenment in Xishan Company at all.

The pragmatist Zhao Gongzi will not stick to any form, but will only choose the most suitable one.

"It should be, it should be." So the directors understood, and then Baba asked: "That troublesome boy asked the board of directors of Jiangnan Group, if they have any requirements, just mention them, and everyone can make money together, it's all easy to discuss." ”

"Because I have shares on both sides, I have to avoid this matter." Zhao Hao replied: "But I can be a mouthpiece for both sides, but how to make decisions, whether it is Jiangnan Group or Xishan Company, I will not intervene." ”

"Understood, understood." With the previous experience of merging with Lugouqiao Company, the directors all know the 'principle of avoidance of related shareholders', and there is no need for Zhao Gongzi to bother with words.

~~

After adding another round of water, the rather masculine Li Gonggong asked: "It seems that Gongzi has another way to make money besides cement?" ”

"Director Li's 'way of making money' is so good." Zhao Hao nodded and smiled at everyone: "Yes, this son's wealth comes from the road." It's not a dry road or a river, it's a sea way! ”

"From the sea to the south?" Li Fang blurted out, and all the shareholders did not show surprise, obviously the scene of Zhao Gongzi and his godmother entering Beijing the day before yesterday had already spread all over the capital.

"It's all my own people, so there's no need to be so careful about what you say." Zhao Gongzi glanced at Li Fang with a smile, and there was a burst of laughter in the conference hall.

"We just want to ship grain!" Zhao Hao slapped the table and stood up, and said categorically: "Jiangnan Group has made a decision to officially invite Xishan Company to cooperate between the north and the south, and Yucheng will do this!" ”

"When I was in Jiangnan, I had already discussed it with the chairman, and she was in favor of it." Everyone listened to Zhao Hao's deep voice again: "And personally took the sea route to actually investigate, and in only ten days, we arrived from Chongming to Tianjin Dagukou." ”

Father-in-law Ji nodded, indicating that the eldest princess fully supported the cooperation with Jiangnan Company and had authorized him to vote in favor. The reason why she is absent today is only because she does not want to put pressure on everyone to vote from the hearts of the directors.

The directors thanked the eldest princess for her thoughtfulness, and this matter really has to be thought about before it can be decided.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, although the benefits of shipping grain by sea are great, but it will also cause big trouble.

Zhao Hao had expected them to react like this, so he announced:

"In addition, the shipping of grain is just a means, and the real purpose of the Jiangnan Group is to break the Jiangnan sea ban and resume maritime trade through this matter!"

His sharp gaze swept over everyone, and he said word by word: "So in the future, the shipping company will have the exclusive overseas trade rights in the Jiangnan area!" ”

With a "wow......" sound, all the directors were boiling, and there was no longer any hesitation from Fang Cai.
