Chapter 633: A Windfall
In fact, even Zhang Jingyi only knows a rough idea of the operation of the railway.
It's up to the railway company to figure out a way to do it themselves.
But at the moment, everyone doesn't care about this, because fools understand that it doesn't matter how the railroad is repaired, whether this thing is useful or not.
Importantly...... Can it make money.
But three days later, the railroad company began to issue a very rudimentary announcement.
In the announcement, the operation of the railway has been explained for about three days after its opening.
For example, the number of daily departures on this line has increased from nine to 14 trains on the third day, and the number of departures is expected to increase in the future.
The company's daily income, 4,500 taels, climbed to 7,000 taels, deducting a certain amount of train maintenance, personnel expenses and other expenses, on the third day, directly realized the scale of 4,000 taels of daily net profit.
And after roughly comparing the operation of the three days, the railway company said that there are still a large number of freight orders, this is because of the demand for shipping and the future to undertake transport, plus, whether it is Jingshi or Tianjin Wei or Beitongzhou, it is the most important hub and thoroughfare in the world, there are too many merchants, and the prospect of freight is promising.
In addition, when the railroad was not built in the past, the circulation of many commodities was actually very small, after all...... The cost is too high, the time it takes is too long, and some goods are not suitable for transportation, such as vegetables and fruits, if they are the same as before, they will be delayed for ten days and a half months, and after they are delivered, they will already be bad. Nowadays, there is the possibility of transportation, coupled with some precious goods, people are reluctant to transport, now with this convenient and safe freight railway, the future of this market, will continue to excavate.
In the announcement, it was also proposed that there would be post offices in various places, under the railway company, and everyone could deliver letters to the areas where the railway was opened.
As soon as this announcement came out, everyone began to think about it carefully.
The people of the capital are not fools, on the third day, the net profit has been as high as 4,000 taels, and in a year, isn't it a real net profit of 1.5 million taels of silver?
If, as the announcement said, more and more trains depart, the goods carried and circulated are getting bigger and bigger, and the performance continues to grow, if it increases by three or five times, isn't it possible that the net profit is five million or even ten million taels of silver in a year?
This number is really terrifying.
So much so that everyone writes and calculates, and they feel that it is unreal.
This stock has dividends, and it is stipulated that at the time of each year, after deducting the operation, dividends will be paid according to the number of shares.
The stock of 150 million taels of silver has only spent 10% of the price now, and if one of the railways is built, there will be such a high dividend...... If it goes on like this, if the financing money can be cashed into railroad tracks, the annual dividend of the stock can be as high as seventy or eighty percent of the dividend?
In the future, the railways will be built, and if you invest ten taels of silver, you can earn seven or eight taels every year while lying down?
At this moment, many people couldn't sit still.
People don't believe it.
So many people squatted at the station in person to see how many goods there were.
Others eagerly ran to check the accounts themselves.
Zhang Jingyi said that if you buy stocks, you can organize shareholders to hire an account office on their own, and go to the railway company to check the accounts at any time.
All of a sudden, a group of account offices, hired by some major shareholders, entered the railway company one after another.
Check it out, good guys......
The performance is still growing.
Ten days later, although there are still only 20 trains sent out every day, it is only because there are only so many steam trains now, and new steam trains are still being manufactured, but the freight orders have been postponed to half a month later.
All of a sudden, many people are crazy and share dividends...... When I bought this thing, I really lay at home and get dividends.
It's a pity...... For those who still want to buy now, it is too late, because the shares of the railway company have all been sold, and the funds raised now have begun to plan the railways in Liaodong and Shandong.
Liaodong is understandable, and Shandong is also a very rich place, there are many prefectures and counties along the way, all of which are important towns and the most important ...... That place is rich in important materials such as cloth, silk, fish and salt, and the area of Denglai is also a natural port, an important port for future shipping, and it is also a population town.
Not only that, but there is also gratifying news that the cost of building a new railway is expected to be reduced because of the establishment of a large number of workshops and the training of many skilled craftsmen.
Costs have fallen, but future profits can continue to be energized.
And once this thing is built, it will be sitting on the ground and collecting money in the future.
This kind of business model, which many people have never thought of, is mouth-watering.
In addition, there are no new share issuances.
Nowadays, stocks are almost all on the secondary market, which means that if ordinary people still want to buy railway stocks, it means that you have to go around buying from other people.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
Liu Hongxun returned to his mansion with a tired face, these days, there are too many things in the court, and spring is about to begin, and everything is waiting to be done, and he, a cabinet scholar, is busy and crazy.
Coupled with Li Zicheng's affairs, he also worried, Li Zicheng was slightly Xiangfan, after getting the support of some gentry, the situation has been very different, he no longer fights around like a rogue, but began to run his own territory, which put the court in a dilemma.
The land of Xiangfan, bordering Sichuan and Hanzhong to the west, Jiangnan to the south, and Guanzhong and the Central Plains to the north, is not only the land of the four wars, but also the land of heroes, once he begins to travel through the place, especially with the support of the gentry, only God knows what the future will look like.
Almost everyone believes that Li Zicheng is the real threat.
Although everyone sees it this way, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong are wandering around Nanzhili with countless rogues, and the imperial court has to guard the main force in Jiangnan in case of accidents.
Now the voices of the DPRK and China about the suspension of the new policy have become more and more intense, and there is a great sense that if the court does not treat the gentry well, the gentry will all defect to Li Zicheng's arrogance.
Of course, Liu Hongxun supports the suspension of the new policy, but His Majesty is obviously already iron-hearted, and it is difficult to be a person on both sides at the moment.
At this time, he looked tired, and when he looked up, he saw his son Liu Wenchang trotting excitedly.
He was already in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but blow his beard and glared at him at this time: "Steady, steady, how many times does the old man have to talk to you before you are willing to look like one?" You're a reader, not a kid anymore. ”
At this time, this Liu Wenchang had already arrived in front of Liu Hongxun, looking at his father's angry appearance, he had to smile bitterly and reorganize the crown, saluted Liu Hongxun, and said, "Father." ”
Liu Hongxun then said: "What's the matter? ”
Liu Wenchang said: "Someone came to look for his son, a few days ago, didn't our family buy 50,000 taels of silver stocks?" ”
"Shh Liu Hongxun gritted his teeth, but tried his best to lower his voice and said: "You can't be quieter, aren't you afraid that others won't know?" This stock is bearer, the old man asked you to buy it, who are you shouting? Are you confused or not, if you know that the old man is running to follow this trend, how much will this damage your reputation? How do people know you have stocks? ”
Liu Wenchang said: "Don't worry, it's Liu Yushi's family, my father is afraid that others will know that my family bought it, and they are still afraid." I just know it privately, and I will never spread it around. ”
Liu Hongxun still felt that this son was unreliable, but he was helpless, he only blamed himself for being blind at the beginning, and he didn't calculate the right day when he had sex, and he gave birth to such a thing.
Liu Hongxun said with a stiff face: "What is he looking for you for?" You have to be careful not to let people hold the handle. ”
Liu Wenchang said: "He wants to collect our stocks." ”
"Want to receive it?" Liu Hongxun cheered up again, and said, "How to collect it?" ”
"Sixty-five thousand taels, sell him our stock."
"Ah......" Liu Hongxun was a little dizzy when he heard this, and then his eyes widened and said, "Sixty-five thousand taels?" ”
It's only been a few days, and people buy 55,000 taels of stocks, and people actually buy 65,000 taels?
This really made Liu Hongxun can't help but feel incredible!
So Liu Hongxun said with surprise: "What does he mean by this, is it a bribe?" ”
"No, no, no." Liu Wenchang hurriedly shook his head, and continued: "Now the price outside is this, many people are asking who has it, and they want to collect it, sixty-five thousand taels, it is considered cheap, everyone said...... When the railway is completed, the next 50,000 shares will have a dividend of 30,000 taels or 40,000 taels in the future. ”
"Father, think about it, isn't this the silver you picked up for nothing? At first, some people didn't believe it, but some people really went to the railway to see, and they checked the accounts, and checked the trains that were sent every day, and some people inquired about all kinds of news within the railway company. Where can I find such a good thing? Many people just hate that they didn't buy it in the first place, and now that the railway company has sold out, we can only find people who have stocks in our hands to buy it. ”
Liu Hongxun suddenly became moved, and suddenly came to his senses again, and said with concern: "In this way, we earned fifteen thousand taels, and there is still such a good amount of silver in the world?" ”
Liu Hongxun was really shocked.
The psychological impact of this kind of overnight profit is huge.
Think about it, in the past, I saved my family business, relied on various operations every year, and relied on the hard harvest of my family's land, and finally relied on stinginess and thrift to accumulate wealth a little bit.
Boy...... This thing is ruthless, it's only been a few days, and 50,000 taels has become 65,000 taels, and it's not so fast to raid the house!
"Father's ......"
"Sell, why don't you sell it, why don't you earn this fifteen thousand taels of silver!"
Liu Wenchang shook his head again and said, "My father is bad, I can't sell it!" ”
