Vol 2 Chapter 804: Making money is good

Cheng En Bo Zhuci sent a greeting to Gu Jiu.
He was a little nervous, wondering if Gu Jiu would like to see him.
If he is unwilling, it means that Gu Jiu refuses Zhu's investment in cement roads.
The cement road is like a hen laying golden eggs!
The cement road from Beijing to Luozhou pays dividends every year.
Although the money is not a lot, it is a long-term stable business, which is better than any business.
He is alive, and the Zhu family can't fail, and the business is still going on.
When he is dead, no one can tell what will happen to the Zhu family.
However, as long as the shares of the cement road are held in their hands, future generations do not have to worry about eating. And you can make some personal connections, so it's not a bad idea to make a comeback.
It's hard to wait.
He sent the housekeeper to send the greeting card, but the housekeeper was not back.
Whether things will happen or not, I will come back and say somehow.
From the morning until the afternoon, the butler finally returned.
"How's the situation? Did Mrs. Zhao accept the greeting?"
Cheng Enbo Zhuci knew that he should behave a little more steadily, but as soon as he spoke, he still revealed his inner tension.
The housekeeper nodded, "Mrs. Zhao received the greeting card, and met with the younger one, asking about the current situation of the uncle."
"how do you say?"
"The little one told Madam Zhao that the uncle is in good health and can eat a bowl of rice for every meal."
Cheng Enbo Zhu's speech was relieved.
The steward went on to say: "But Mrs. Zhao changed the time and place. We will meet at the public house in the market of Xinmin County tomorrow afternoon. Uncle please be there on time."
Cheng Enbo Zhu was surprised, "Why changed the time and place?"
"Mrs. Zhao said that she has been busy these days. Only tomorrow afternoon will be free."
"The old man knows. Tomorrow you will accompany the old man to see Mrs. Zhao."
"Small obey orders!"
...
Xiaozhu, Gu Jiu left Cheng Enbo's invitations aside and asked Ah Qing, "How many invitations have you received in the past few days."
"If you say nothing, there are thirty or forty. These people are all coming to the cement road. The cement road earns some tolls, and it costs more than one hundred thousand taels a year, and it is only a few thousand taels in everyone's hands. How come these people swarm together so that this little money can get into their eyes?"
Ah Qing doesn't understand how these nobles and rich people pay so much attention to cement roads.
When raising funds for house repairs, I have never seen them so active.
Gu Jiu smiled, "The annual dividend of the cement road is not much, the more is ten thousand and two silver, the less is only one or two thousand. But the victory is stable, and the income in the next few decades will be visible. This is more than a farm. , The shop must be reliable. Some people are rare for this kind of visible stability, so it is not surprising that everyone will rush to it."
"Does the madam accept their investment? Sihai can build the concrete road by himself. There is no need to cooperate with these people."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "That's not what I said. This lady has never liked eating alone. If you have money, everyone makes money. Let's take a place together. If something happens, there will be someone who helps you run errands to find relationships."
Ah Ching asked, "What does Madam mean, to accept investment from these people?"
Gu Jiu smiled and did not answer directly.
...
In the afternoon, Cheng En Bo Zhuci came to the public house in the market of Xinmin County on time.
He thought he had sharp eyesight and saw the benefits of cement roads, and he was anxious to invest money in building roads.
As a result, when I went to the public house, I found that they were all familiar faces.
You don't need to talk to know that everyone is coming from two concrete roads.
This this this...
Cheng Enbo Zhuci was a little dumbfounded.
The key is that the Hou Mansion is in the period of mourning, so how come to join in the fun.
The eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, Gu Rui, appeared in the public house and attracted the attention of everyone.
It's not a hot filial piety yet, it's not appropriate to go to this occasion.
Gu Rui had no expression on her face, did not talk to anyone, and exuded a cold air that no strangers should enter.
All the people who snooped on the news were dismissed by his cold face.
Steward Zhu secretly asked Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci, "Master, what should we do in this situation?"
"Watch the changes!"
Cheng Enbo Zhuci was very heartbroken.
Everyone is not a fool.
Everyone wants to get a share of the visible benefits.
If the cement road is built by the imperial court during the whole process, everyone will not bother to think about it.
The imperial court runs toll booths, and it's thank good for not losing money. Counting on making money, earning the principal but also making profits, dream.
Only the construction of cement roads by the four seas can make everyone participate so actively.
Sihai is indeed domineering sometimes, but it is undeniable that Sihai has a great deal of business.
If you invest money in the world, you don't have to worry about losing money at all. It's just the difference between earning more and earning less.
Everyone looked at the hourglass, a little anxious, why Madam Zhao hasn't arrived yet.
"It won't stop coming."
"Don't worry, Madam Zhao's reputation has never been a problem."
"We came early. It is not the time appointed by Madam Zhao."
"I didn't expect to see you here today."
Everyone is tacit and disgusted with each other.
I don’t see everyone being so active on weekdays.
Whenever there is a chance to make money, one by one runs faster than anyone else.
"I don't know if Madam Zhao will agree to my request."
This is a problem that everyone is worried about.
This time, two cement roads were built at the same time, without raising funds in advance, and without letting out the wind, the whole world started construction by itself.
So panic!
Is Sihai planning to eat alone?
Everyone was uneasy.
Cheng En Bo Zhuci sat down next to Gu Rui, "Sorry!"
Gu Rui gave an um, then opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, you are welcome."
"In the early years, I was an official in the same court as Lao Hou Ye, and I had some friendship. I didn't expect him to walk in front of the old man."
Cheng En Bo Zhuci had a sad tone, feeling that no one could escape.
Gu Rui moved slightly.
Cheng En Bo Zhu resigned, and said, "On this occasion today, it is also acceptable for the world to send a confidant."
Gu Rui shook his head and said nothing.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci secretly figured out what Gu Rui meant.
The Hou Mansion’s investment in businesses across the world is not just a matter of one sentence. Why do you need Shizi to come out in person?
At this moment, Gu Jiu took a carriage to the market public house.
The entire lobby on the first floor is almost full.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Everyone is here. This is simple and simple, please forgive me."
"Madam, you are welcome!"
Gu Jiu smiled lightly and naturally sat down on the main seat.
Everyone also found their place and took their seats.
During the shuttle service, the maid served tea and snacks to the guests.
Gu Jiu knocked on the tabletop, and the hall instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting on the main seat and waited for the following.
"I know your intentions. The cement road from Beijing to the northwest, and the cement road from Beijing to Hexi are all started at the same time. It costs a lot to start construction at the same time. All over the world undertake the construction responsibility, and the construction period is very tight, and the pressure is really great. You are willing to give generously. To help the world, I would like to thank you all in advance."
"Madam is so polite!"
"We can trust my lady."
"How to count the shares, madam, let's just say it. As long as we don't let us lose money, everything is easy to discuss."
Everyone babbled, yelling faster. I'm afraid that my money will be slow, and I will get fewer shares than others.
Gu Jiu knocked on the table and the hall became quiet again.
"You all want to buy shares in Cement Road, I welcome it. But the way you buy shares has to change."
Huh?
Are you going to play a new trick?
Gu Jiu motioned to Bai Zhong.
Bai Zhong waved his hand, and the guy below lifted out a basket with color-printed receipts in the basket.
bill?
Everyone was surprised.
What do you carry out the bill for?
Gu Jiu picked up the color-printed receipt, the workmanship was exquisite, especially the color-printed part, absolutely anti-counterfeiting.
In this era, no one has the technology to imitate similar bills.
This is the benefit of printing technology monopoly.
Now even the Shaofu Bank has to cooperate with the printing workshops under the Wenqing Bookstore to produce new anti-counterfeiting bills.
Gu Jiu said: "This is not a bank note, this is a bond. This is the first batch of bonds issued by our Four Seas Commercial Bank, and it has the support of Shaofu Bank. A bond is ten thousand taels and the annual interest is 10%. Two years. Two years later, Four Seas Commercial Bank will redeem these bonds with principal and interest. My condition is that if you want to invest in two cement roads, you can. Buy fifty thousand four seas bonds and invest in one cement road. Buy one hundred thousand. Two-four-sea bonds can invest in two cement roads."
boom!
The crowd exploded!
Buzzing...
In the hall, everyone talked.
First, I don't understand what bonds are.
When you understand the bond, it is equivalent to an IOU, which can be transferred to anyone in your family, wife, or child. With the bonds, after maturity, you can go to the Four Seas Bank to withdraw the money with the principal and interest.
After that, everyone had new questions.
"Why does Sihai issue bonds?"
"Is Sihai borrowing money from everyone?"
"Is there no money in the world?"
"Is Sihai going bankrupt?"
"Sihai asked everyone to borrow money, is it for a big project? Is it where to go to repair the house?"
"Is the Four Seas rich or not?"
Too many questions.
The hall was almost noisy.
Gu Jiu had to take out a gavel and slammed on the table top.
Bang bang bang...
After a few loud noises, the hall finally calmed down.
Gu Jiu said loudly: "All of you here are well-informed people. You should already know that the two cement roads under construction each have 20% of the shares of the court. I will give out another 40% of the shares for everyone to subscribe. Pre-order First come first served.
In addition, let me say one more thing. Forty percent of the shares are divided into 1,000 shares. Each share counts as one thousand taels. Well, my lady has to go to the next hall. The wealthy businessmen from other places in Beijing are waiting for my wife in the lobby next door. "
boom!
When these big capitalists heard that foreign merchants were next door, they were immediately anxious.
"Madam wait a minute, why are foreign merchants here?"
"Do they also want to get a share of the pie and buy cement road shares?"
"No, no. This is the benefit of our people in Beijing, how can it be given to foreign businessmen."
"Mrs. Zhao, think twice. The wealthy businessmen from other places are cunning, so it's better for me to wait for the locals in Beijing to know the basics."
"Yeah, yeah. Madam must not let foreign businessmen get involved in cement road shares."
"Isn't it a bond? I'll buy one hundred thousand taels."
"I bought fifty thousand taels."
The enthusiasm of everyone to buy bonds is unprecedentedly high.
Gu Jiu took a small mallet and knocked on the table. When everyone calmed down, she said, "Don’t hide it from you, rich merchants from Jiangnan, Southwest and other places, this time they organized a delegation to Beijing to see my wife. My wife promised to give them a chance and leave. !"
After speaking, Gu Jiu stopped staying, went through the small door and went to another hall.
