The directors of Xishan Company will not expand and look down on the profits of grain shipping. Instead, in this world, the risks and benefits of doing something must be proportional.

If the risk is too high and the benefits are not enough, even if it is the order of the boss, people subconsciously want to avoid it.

Moreover, Zhao Hao is not the boss of Dingguo Duke and others. Everyone is an equal shareholder, at least in the view of Dingguo Duke.

But when Mr. Zhao threw out the "Jiangnanhai trade monopoly", everything was different.

When I arrived at the level of directors of Xishan Company, I naturally understood that these seven words contained the top wealth of the Ming Dynasty!

Although Xishan Company's fun digging coal is compared with the sea business that Jiujiu was originally controlled, it is a small witch and only worthy of Jiujiu's shoes.

Who in the world doesn’t covet the wealth door of the nine great masters? Now that Zhao Hao helps them open the door, there is no reason to hesitate anymore. Of course, he has to rush in!

The atmosphere in the conference hall became warm, and the directors asked Mr. Zhao one after another, saying that if you want to know the details of this matter, what they need to do, and most importantly... what they can get.

Zhao Hao answered patiently one by one.

He told the directors that all ships are provided and shipping are all under the responsibility of Jiangnan Group. Xishan Company only needs to help Jiangnan Group obtain "grain shipping" and "legal sea trade". These two complementary rights are met even if the conditions for cooperation are met.

In the future, you only need to be responsible for public relations in Beijing and ensure the smooth flow of the section from Dagu to Beijing.

As for the distribution of interests, Jiangnan Group proposed that the two parties invest to establish a "Donghai Maritime Transportation Company" based on the Jiangnan Shipping Company.

In this "East Sea Shipping", Jiangnan Group holds 50% of the shares, Xishan Company holds 30% of the shares, and Jiangnan Shipping holds 10% of the shares. Another 10% is left for the beloved Emperor.

This distribution plan can be said to be extremely generous, so that the directors of Xishan Company were embarrassed to bargain. By helping to win a handful, they could get 30% of the nine masters. Even if they were lanterns in the world, they could not find such a good thing.

So the board of directors agreed unanimously to the Jiangnan Group's proposal and decided to make every effort to promote the sea transportation of grain!

Even the chairman of the Supervisory Board, who said he shouldn't speak, could no longer hold back.

"Whoever dares to stop the grain transport will be my husband's enemy who killed his father!" British Duke Zhang Rong jumped up and raised his arms and shouted. He was not afraid that his devil's father Zhang Lu would come to settle the score with him in the middle of the night.

Although others are not as unconventional as him, they all compete to express their determination to overcome all difficulties and to get the grain transport done!

Seeing that the morale was available, Mr. Zhao smiled with relief. Then he assigned tasks to the directors, asking them to seize the time to connect the activities, and how much energy there is to build momentum for the shipping of grain.

Although the shareholders' meeting cannot be held because the struggle for the right to trade in the sea is not openly publicly, the members of the board of directors and supervisors should still actively contact the major shareholders and let them all join the battle.

The board meeting was held all day and it didn't end until dusk. The directors yelled to welcome Mr. Zhao tonight.

"You guys should go on another day. Young Master is too tired today." After all, Fatty Tang is the person who knows Zhao Hao the best. He hurriedly blocked him with a smile: "He traveled across the ocean to Beijing, but he hasn't come to rest yet."

"We have considered it wrong." Everyone said with great care: "Then let's go another day. When the young master comes to rest, we will gather together."

In fact, they didn't want to waste time today, and they were all anxious to go home and raise money quickly. Fortunately, before the news spread, buy as much stock as possible.

Even fools can think that as soon as the news spreads today, the company's stocks will definitely soar.

"A word is determined." Mr. Zhao responded with a smile.

Everyone was about to disperse, but Zhao Hao suddenly called them and said, as if he had just remembered something:

"By the way, according to Article 7 of the Articles of Association, the board of directors and its members shall not harm the interests of shareholders and the company. Therefore, from tomorrow, the trading hall will suspend stock trading until the company releases an announcement. During this period, the company will not support all private transactions."

"Hey..." The directors immediately smirked. As expected, no one can beat Mr. Zhao...

~~

When Zhao Hao got down from the upper floor, he saw that the trading hall had already closed and only the guys were cleaning.

Seeing the guys taking off the water sign, dipping it with a rag, and erasing the brush words on it, Zhao Hao was full of interest in this ancient securities trading hall. He walked to the counter lightly, looking at the manager who was quickly dialing the abacus and counting today's transaction accounts, and suddenly he was a little dazed.

If you are not careful, Mr. Zhao seems to have occupied the world's number one again - the world's first stock exchange. The original first, Amsterdam stock exchange, will not be established until forty years, so it can only be ranked second.

But unfortunately, it cannot be said to be the world's first stock exchange. Because more than 30 years ago, the Netherlands established the Antwerp Stock Exchange, but it was a bond market.

While his thoughts were floating, Mr. Zhao smiled at Tang Youde and Sun Dawu around him and said, "It is said that insider trading is as old as the securities market, and it seems that this is true."

The two fat men looked at each other, wondering who said the young master?

Fatty Tang hurriedly smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is a young man who has a far-sighted vision, so no one can make a profit by relying on insider trading."

"This kind of thing is inevitable." Mr. Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Now we have two companies. In the future, more companies will be listed and will be too difficult to supervise."

"We also considered this issue, so we never agreed to the entry of other companies' stocks." Sun Dawu said softly.

"So that's it." This answered Zhao Hao's previous question. He said to Sun Dawu: "You can't give up because of the choke. You have to put a high-quality company in the market, otherwise you will be replaced as a trading center sooner or later."

"Yes, young master." Sun Dawu quickly lowered his head and responded.

"If you are worried, you can strengthen the review, improve the access standards, and formulate regulatory rules. You can also build another exchange elsewhere and put stock trading here, which will also affect the normal operation of the company." Zhao Hao finally visited enough and turned around and walked out.

"This idea is good! The young master is worthy of being a young master!" Tang Youde said in his eyes: "Lao Sun was actually worried before, what if someone else's stock collapses or the company goes bankrupt, and those small shareholders will rely on our Xishan Company again? Just set up an exchange that has nothing to do with Xishan Company!"

"Yes, this is a good method." Sun Dawu also said excitedly: "Why didn't I expect it before!"

"Because you are not a young master." Only the senior brother can compare to Fatty Tang's flattery skills.

"Think slowly, I will always think of it." Mr. Zhao smiled shamelessly and ordered Sun Dawu to say, "Press the suspension announcement tomorrow morning."

"The lively scene here will be unavailable for a while." Sun Dawu was quite reluctant to leave and opened a glass door for Mr. Zhao.

"You'd better take this time to replace the door with wooden or iron." Tang Youde sent another fan to Zhao Hao. "I'm worried that it will be crowded when it reopens."

"That's right." Sun Dawu deeply agreed with this.

The next morning, people who came to Xishan company lobby to buy stocks as usual found a prominent notice called "Suspension Announcement" posted at the door of the company.

People curiously thought: "Because the company is planning a major event, given the significant uncertainty of the matter, in order to ensure fair information disclosure, safeguard investors' interests, and avoid abnormal fluctuations in the company's stock price, the company's stock is hereby suspended. In addition, Lugouqiao Company has a major relationship with the company, and has suspended its trading together."

"During the suspension period, the company's stock will be stopped from trading. During this period, the company will not admit any over-the-counter transactions. The company promises that once this matter is appropriately disclosed, it will immediately hold a shareholders' meeting and disclose relevant details, and then resume stock trading..."

After reading the notice, people's curiosity became even stronger.

"What's the matter? It's mysterious?" A merchant from Tianjin said depressedly: "Okay, it's a waste of time."

"This is responsible for you." But more people expressed their understanding: "Those big guys are so well-informed. If they rush to buy and sell the stocks, they will suffer losses, and we are the little shrimps who are both eyes and dislike."

"Oh, that's right." The merchant nodded and said relievedly: "Anyway, the money is still in his hand, so he can't suffer any loss."

Buyers like him who have not bought stocks yet will naturally be relieved.

But those small investors who have stocks of two companies are now feeling a little nervous. They don’t know whether this so-called “major matter” is good or bad.

"There won't be any bad news. I'm afraid we'll sell the stock." Someone muttered pessimistically.

"It must be a good thing, not a good thing to plan." Those who can buy stocks in this era are very economically savvy. Naturally, they can read deeper information from this seemingly normal announcement.

"That's true. If it's a bad thing, those major shareholders will not have time to sell, so how could they be suspended?" Everyone agreed.

"That is, Xishan Company has thousands of coal mines placed there, and you can make money without any trouble. What makes them worry and do their best to plan is definitely a more profitable thing!"

The more people say this, the more they want to know the truth. So they flocked into the company hall to inquire with the lobby manager about what happened.

The lobby manager had already received an order and replied to everyone: "Dear, it must be good news here, but I don't know if the matter can be done. We are here, so we will suspend transactions for everyone's sake. Please be careful not to be impatient..."

Now those who have stocks in their hands are very happy. According to this statement, the stock price will not fall at least, and it is very likely to rise.

"Oh, that's a pity. Yesterday it rose to fifty-seven. I thought it was expensive and I didn't take action." A staff member wearing a unified hat felt like he had missed the opportunity to rewrite his life, and he was so upset that he hit the counter with his head.
