Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci sent a greeting card to Gu Jiu.

He was a little apprehensive, wondering if Gu Jiu would like to see him.

If he is unwilling, it means that Gu Jiu refuses the Zhu family's investment in cement roads.

The concrete road is a hen that lays golden eggs!

The cement road from Beijing to Luozhou pays dividends every year.

Although the money is not very much, it is also a long-term and stable business, which is better than any other business.

If he is alive, the Zhu family will not fail, and the business will continue as usual.

After he died, no one could say for sure what would happen to the Zhu family.

However, as long as you hold the shares of Cement Road in your hands, future generations will not have to worry about eating. And you can also make some connections, so it's not impossible to make a comeback.

The taste of waiting is hard.

He sent the housekeeper to deliver the greeting card, but the housekeeper did not come back for a long time.

Whether things will work out or not, at least come back and tell me.

After waiting from morning to afternoon, the butler finally came back.

How's the situation? Did Madam Zhao accept the invitation?

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci knew that he should be more stable, but when he spoke, he still revealed his inner tension.

The housekeeper nodded, Mrs. Zhao accepted the greeting card, and met the little one to ask how the uncle is doing.

what do you say?

The little one told Mrs. Zhao that Uncle is in good health and can eat a bowl of rice for every meal.

Cheng Enbo Zhuci was relieved.

The housekeeper continued: However, Mrs. Zhao has changed the time and place. We will meet at the office of the Xinmin County Fair tomorrow afternoon. Please come to the appointment on time.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci was surprised, Why did you change the time and place?

Madam Zhao said that she has been quite busy these days. She is only free tomorrow afternoon.

The old man knows. Tomorrow, you will accompany the old man to see Mrs. Zhao.

Little one obeys!

...

Xiaozhu,

Gu Jiu threw Cheng Enbo's invitations aside, and asked Ah Qing, How many invitations have you received in the past few days?

At least there are thirty or forty. These people all come for the concrete road. The concrete road only earns some tolls, at most a hundred thousand taels a year, and it is only a few thousand taels of silver for each person. How can these people come together in such a swarm that this little money can get into their eyes?

Ah Qing didn't understand why these nobles and rich people valued concrete roads so much.

When raising funds for house repairs, I have never seen them be so active.

Gu Jiu smiled, The cement road doesn't pay much dividends every year. There are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and only one or two thousand taels of silver. But the advantage lies in stability, and the income in the next few decades can be seen. This is better than that of the farm. , Shops must be reliable. Some people are rare for this kind of visible stability, so it's no surprise that everyone will flock to it.

Madam, do you want to accept their investment? Sihai can repair the cement road by himself, there is no need to cooperate with these people.

Gu Jiu shook her head, That's not what I said. My wife never likes to eat alone. If you have money, everyone earns it, and they will support it together. If something happens, there will be someone who will help you run errands and find connections.

Ah Qing asked: Madam, do you mean to accept investment from these people?

Gu Jiu smiled, but didn't answer directly.

...

In the afternoon, Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci came to the Xinmin County market office on time.

He thought he was the only one with sharp eyes who saw the benefits of cement roads and was eager to invest money in road repairs.

As a result, when I went to the public house, I saw that they were all familiar faces.

You don't need to talk to know that everyone is here for the two concrete roads.

This, this, this...

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci was a little dumbfounded.

The point is, the Hou Mansion is in the mourning period, so they come to join in the fun no matter what.

Gu Rui, the eldest son of the Hou family, appeared in the public house, which attracted everyone's attention.

It's not hot yet, it's not appropriate to run to this occasion.

Gu Rui had no expression on his face, he didn't talk to anyone, and exuded a cold aura that no one should enter.

All those who inquired about the news were dismissed by his cold face.

Butler Zhu secretly asked Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci, Old man, what should we do in this situation?

Wait and see!

Cheng Enbo Zhuci was very upset.

We are not fools.

Everyone wants a share of the visible benefits.

If the cement road was built under the auspices of the imperial court, everyone would not bother to think about it.

The imperial court set up toll booths, and it is thankful that they do not lose money. Counting on making money, earning back the principal and making profits, just dream.

Only when Sihai presides over the construction of cement roads can everyone participate so actively.

Sihai is indeed domineering sometimes, but it is undeniable that Sihai is very good at doing business.

If you invest money in the world, you don't have to worry about losing money. It's nothing more than the difference between earning more and earning less.

Everyone looked at the hourglass, a little anxious, why Mrs. Zhao hasn't arrived yet.

I won't stop coming.

Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao's reputation has never been a problem.

It's because we came early. It's not yet the time agreed by Mrs. Zhao.

I didn't expect to see you here today.

Everyone tacitly, but also dislike each other.

I don't see people being so active on weekdays.

Whenever there is an opportunity to make money, they run faster than anyone else.

I don't know if Mrs. Zhao will agree to our request.

This is the question that everyone is worried about.

This time, two cement roads were built at the same time. There was no fundraising or publicity in advance, and Four Seas started the construction by itself.

So panic!

Is Sihai planning to eat alone?

Everyone was uneasy.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci sat down next to Gu Rui, My condolences!

Gu Rui hummed first, then opened his mouth and said, Uncle, you are welcome.

In the early years, I was an official with the old Hou Ye, and I also had some friendship. I didn't expect him to walk ahead of the old man.

Cheng Enbo Zhuci's tone was sad, feeling that no one could hide from life, old age, sickness and death.

Gu Rui was slightly moved.

Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci changed the subject, On this occasion, it is enough for the prince to send a confidant subordinate over here.

Gu Rui shook his head and didn't say much.

Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci secretly figured out Gu Rui's meaning.

It's not just a matter of one sentence for the Hou Mansion to invest in the business of the four seas. Why does the prince need to come forward in person?

At this moment, Gu Jiu came to the public house in the market by carriage.

The entire lobby on the first floor was almost full.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: Everyone is here. The place is simple, please forgive me.

Ma'am, you are welcome!

Gu Jiu smiled lightly, and sat down on the main seat as a matter of course.

Everyone also found their seats and sat down one after another.

During the shuttle, the maid poured tea and served refreshments to the guests.

Gu Jiu knocked on the table, and the hall fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting on the main seat, waiting for the next sentence.

I know everyone's reason for coming here. The cement road from the capital to the northwest, and the cement road from the capital to the west of Hexi, were started at the same time, and it cost a lot. The four seas are responsible for the construction, and the construction period is very tight, so the pressure is really great. You are willing to donate generously. , to help the world, I would like to thank everyone in advance.”

Madam is too polite!

We can trust Ma'am.

How to calculate the shares, madam, just tell me. As long as we don't let us lose money, everything is negotiable.

Everyone was chattering, yelling to hurry up. I am afraid that if I am slow to give my money, I will get less shares than others.

Gu Jiu knocked on the table, and the hall became quiet again.

Everyone wants to invest in Cement Road, and I welcome it. But the way of investing must be changed.

Huh?

Are you going to play new tricks?

Gu Jiu gestured to Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong waved his hand, and the staff below brought out a basket with colored printed receipts inside.

bill?

Everyone was surprised.

What are you doing to bring out the bills?

Gu Jiu picked up the color-printed receipt. The workmanship was exquisite, especially the color-printed part, which was absolutely anti-counterfeit.

In this day and age, no one has the technology to imitate similar bills.

This is the advantage of printing technology monopoly.

Today, even the Shaofu Bank has to cooperate with the printing workshop under Wenqing Bookstore to produce new types of anti-counterfeit bills.

Gu Jiu said: This is not a bank note, it's a bond. This is the first batch of bonds issued by our Sihai Commercial Bank, and it is supported by Shaofu Bank. One bond is 10,000 taels, and the annual interest is 10%. Two years. After two years, Sihai 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 50,000 taels of Sihai bonds and invest in a cement road. Buy 100,000 Two Sihai bonds can invest in two cement roads.

boom!

The crowd exploded!

buzz buzz...

In the hall, everyone was discussing.

First of all, I don't understand what bonds are.

After understanding that the bond is equivalent to an IOU, it can be transferred to anyone in the family, wife and children. With the bond, after the maturity date, the money can be withdrawn from the Four Seas Bank with the principal and interest.

After that, everyone had new questions.

Why does Four Seas issue bonds?

Is Sihai borrowing money from everyone?

Is Si Hai out of money?

Is Four Seas going bankrupt?

Sihai asked everyone to borrow money, is it for a big project? Is it going to repair a house somewhere?

Is Four Seas rich or not?

Too many questions.

There was a lot of noise in the hall.

Gu Jiu had no choice but to take out the small mallet and hit the table hard.

bang bang bang...

After several loud bangs, the hall finally gradually quieted down.

Gu Jiu said loudly: Everyone here is well-informed. You should already know that the imperial court has 20% of the shares of the two cement roads under construction. I will take out another 40% of the shares for everyone to subscribe. Pre-order Hurry up, first come first served.

Also, let me say one more thing. 40% of the shares are divided into 1,000 shares. Each share counts as one thousand taels. Well, Mrs. Ben has to go to the next hall. All the wealthy businessmen who came to Beijing from other places are waiting for Mrs. Ben in the next hall.

boom!

When these wealthy families in the capital heard that the wealthy businessmen from other places were next door, they immediately panicked.

Wait a minute, Ma'am, why are wealthy businessmen from other places here?

Could it be that they also want to get a piece of the pie and buy shares in Cement Road?

No, no. This is the interest of our people in the capital, how can we let it go to wealthy businessmen from other places.

Madam Zhao, please think twice. Rich businessmen from other places are all cunning people, so it's better for me and the locals in the capital to know everything.

Yes, yes. Madam must not let foreign wealthy businessmen get involved in cement road shares.

Isn't it just a bond? I'll buy one hundred thousand taels.

I'll buy 50,000 taels.

The enthusiasm for buying bonds is at an all-time high.

Gu Jiu knocked on the table with a small gavel, and when everyone quieted down, she said: To tell you the truth, wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan, Southwest and other places have organized a delegation to Beijing to see Mrs. Ben. Mrs. promised to give them a chance and leave !

After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu didn't stay any longer, went through the small door and went to another hall.
