"Ouch! Look! It's rising again!"

"My God! Another ounce of silver!"

"I said brother, what kind of foreign company does this foreign company? What do they do?"

"You don't know about this? This foreign company is just a rubber drying business!"

"Ah? Rubber... I have to do such a job, but there is a foreign company to do it?"

"Why do you care about that much? Let me tell you! As long as it is a foreign company that has something to do with rubber, you should buy it! That's the price increase! By the way, now it's listed, it's called a company. Don't be a foreign company, show your timidity!"

"Thank you..."

At this time, shanghai, also known as Songteng G House, is performing a lively drama. Simply put, there is a market called the stock market and another market called the futures market. These two markets are basically overcrowded every day.

Why?

Make money!

Last year, at the beginning of 1874, there were two markets in shanghai. At the beginning, it was a small building, the second floor, the first floor was the stock market, and the second floor was the futures market... It was normal to be simple and simple at the beginning of the business.

At the beginning, no one understood what was going on here, but, seeing the foreigners and the nobles entering.

When you go in, don’t care what your face is. When you come out, you will have a smile on your face. Anyone who knows how to see the photos can tell it. That is, a smile that makes money or a lot of money!

In these two markets, there was no news or advertisement, but it was so interesting to make money!

Many people come after looking for the taste. People are like this, and they may react a little slower to other things, but when it comes to money, especially making money, there is nothing to say. It is necessary, and you need to come with extreme enthusiasm.

Not long after, the two markets in shanghai became popular, and the two hot elements in these two markets are what you have to speculate on, right?

Of course it’s just frying rubber!

At first, it was rubber, mainly futures. Later, when everyone saw that just one rubber was enough to play?

saute!

Any company that has something to do with rubber can be taken and listed. After listing, regardless of whether you make money or not, your stock price will be immediately increased!

By the way, the Qing Dynasty may have expanded a little, and the industrial level of the entire East Asia is stronger, that is, Japan, but they have nothing to do with the rubber industry. They have not yet developed this industry, so it should be said that they have not had time.

Therefore, the entire East Asia is actually the rubber-related industry in Southeast Asia, and it still belongs to the primary production stage, which means there are not many tricks, but...

It doesn't matter!

You are the rubber transport company, you take it and it will rise immediately!

So is this situation still necessary?

Cut rubber...

Rubber...

The second-trade rubber dealer...

Needless to mention the companies that grow rubber, those companies are now in the sky!

To be honest, are those so-called industries companies?

But no matter what, it's just a word. Fire!

In such two popular markets, the happiest person is naturally William Cameron.

Yes, he did these two markets. His father was a foreign company from Huili, so he naturally didn't say anything to the Qing Dynasty officials. William Cameron also gave Li Hongzhang a lot of tricks...

The two markets that have been created with green lights all the way are, and the key is that people really want rubber in the American Empire.

So, the market is so popular, won’t the purchase price of rubber in the American Empire rise?

Li Mengyang knew this very well, and he knew that such a thing would not happen!

Why?

Li Mengyang watched a TV series called "The Great Mansion". The protagonist Bai Jingqi in it was learning to do business and saw it in the medicinal materials market... Their family is a big customer, and now they need a medicine. Their family's manager will go to the market to spread the news, which is spreading vigorously, and also raise the acquisition price.

Then it became simple, so naturally many middlemen were investing in this medicine in large quantities. When the demand for this medicine was high, downstream medicinal farmers began to plant in large quantities.

You see, the price is higher now, but what if Bai Jingqi and the others don’t need so many such medicines?

Yes, it was the bargain at that time!

To put it bluntly, Li Mengyang is now the big customer. The price of this rubber is actually the final say. It doesn’t matter if you are a little higher. I will accept it... Actually, he can’t accept it, but if I accept it, you have to produce more, and then...

It's the same, as long as I control this amount here.

Anyway, the American Empire will never lose money. Li Mengyang has this plan, otherwise he would not let William Cameron do it.

So now, this guy Cameron is very happy, and Li Mengyang is also very happy, but what about Yang Guangren?

Yes, he used to monopolize the trading of rubber, but now the market is open, with the futures market and the stock market, many other companies have also come, so...

We'll go on the market too!

Then it seems... Yang Guangren's money for the revolutionary cause of the Basing Party came from the stock market, which is the money of the Qing Dynasty?!

You have to say that Yang Guangren is also very powerful and has done such an interesting thing, but...

This money is a little small!

Who would think that money is too much? Who would think that money is too much?

So how can you make more money? Yang Guangren's business, transportation, planting, and some simple production have already been launched, so...

"Brother Yang, I agreed!" Zhou Zili was naturally shanghai too.

"I've agreed? It's really OK?" Yang Guangren was very happy and excited when he heard this.

"Okay!" Zhou Zili was also happy.

"That's great!" Yang Guangren rubbed his hands, this is going to have a big fight!

Then what did you agree on?

It’s just a listing, but this company that went public this time... has nothing, just a shell. Or there is not even a shell, just a few documents.

The documents are actually fake...

Yes! When the shanghai stock market has only been developing for more than a year, some people have started to play with such shell companies and have committed fraud!

But...what is agreed?

Just after it is approved, someone will come to subscribe to the stock, and everyone will speculate on this empty company!

That can really be fryed?

"Oh! Come on! Another company is going to go public!"

"What is this for?"

"I heard that it was fertilizing the rubber tree!"

"Ah? Isn't that just a... shit and urine company?"

"No matter how much hell it is! Don't you buy it? I buy it!"

"No, I'll just say it."

No matter how the rubber tree is fertilized or how the company operates, it is fertilized, but anyway, it has something to do with rubber, so let's fry it!

So, as the wooden sign representing the stock price began to change constantly...

If we Chinese people, it is really easy to make a fuss. In fact, this is a gambling mentality. But this mentality cannot be said to be completely bad, but there is a place now that let alone this mentality, it is simply lifeless.

Before, Empress Dowager Cixi vigorously promoted reforms, and established an institution, which was the Advisory Council. Naturally, all over the country had such a thing. But this thing was made, but not much action was made.

Simply put, local officials now hold heavy power, and of course they do not want their rights to be reduced or supervised, so these advisory boards were not the same at the beginning.

They are all their own people, so who else can you supervise?

If you want to talk about this, Cixi also knew it. The entire Qing court also knew it, but they did not make any moves at the beginning.

Why don't they care?

It's very simple, they don't have to worry about this matter!

"We need real supervision!"

"Don't occupy the pit and don't shit!"

"The Advisory Council was originally intended for supervision, but when it was established, it became a decoration. Local governors abused their power and interfered with the progress of the constitutional system. It is simply unforgivable! We need to re-election, real election..."

Many people spoke!

In terms of subject, some scholars and juren in the local area are educated. They want to participate in the imperial examinations and sell to the imperial family after learning the arts.

So, they have not seen any results in this local reform at all, so how can they not be in a hurry?

It is obvious that this is not a problem with the Qing court central government, it is just that local officials are doing it perfunctorily.

Therefore, these cultural people began to write articles and attack, including Chen Baozhen's son, Yang Shenxiu, and such people...

There are even many people gathering to make trouble, so let’s just have some violence.

Seeing this situation, many ministers began to submit memorials.
To be continued...
