Chapter 42 Everyone Comes to Buy Stocks

  At night, Ye Feng brought Aphrodite and Oola back to the Duke's mansion and told Nia what had happened.

  Diana asked uneasily, "Isn't the risk too great? 200,000 gold coins in assets, but 100,000 of that belongs to Aphrodite. If those merchants find out later that there's only half the money on the account, who knows what they might do?"

  Ye Feng smiled and explained, "So we need to separate the company from the Duke's mansion. This way, the Governor's mansion can use the excuse that the company must provide half of its assets as a reserve fund for borrowing, and then they can take away the non-existent 100,000 gold coins."

  Nina exclaimed loudly: "Great idea!"

  Diana frowned and said, "Won't the merchants object?"

  Nia finally understood Yefeng's idea and explained with a smile: "No, those businessmen saw the governor's office withdraw the preparation gold, they felt that their investment was guaranteed. Instead, they will thank us."

  Take away 100,000 gold coins and instead win the gratitude of businessmen? The rest of the people present shook their heads simultaneously, with a look of confusion.

  Afu Luo made a white wedding dress for someone else, secretly admiring Ye Feng's cleverness while feeling resentful. She coldly laughed and said: "You've just received 100,000 gold coins. Why don't you go rob someone instead?"

  Niya has Ye Feng, this dog-headed military advisor, backing her up from behind, and she's full of confidence. She smiles sweetly and says, "This is wrong, it's much better than robbery."

  Aphrodite was momentarily enraged.

  Yefeng thought for a moment and asked: "Nia, how much grain do we have in stock? While the price is high, it's best to get rid of it quickly."

  Nia heard him say "we two" and was secretly delighted. After a moment's thought, she said: "There are probably still..."

  Ahu Luo was startled in her heart and hastily interrupted her words, asking Ye Feng: "What do you want to do? It's settled that I'll be the one collecting the grain."

  Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. After the abolition of the Flowing Law, I guarantee that you will have enough grain to transport back."

  Three days later, with the arrival of the first batch of grain from the smugglers, the grain price in Xiniya City plummeted. Initially, a standard bag of grain could be sold for 0.9 gold coins, but by afternoon it had dropped to only half that amount. This made Ye Feng's grain procurement plan proceed exceptionally smoothly.

  Although there were malicious hoarders in between, under Ye Feng's operation, the grain price was instantly suppressed again. The businessmen cried and had no choice but to deal with the matter, then rushed to buy shares of that so-called Xiniya Commercial Co., Ltd.

  After they arrived at the company, it turned out that this company was a classic example of official-business collusion to such an extent: the company's headquarters was set up in a room next to the Governor's Mansion. The company's vault and the Governor's vault were even shared. The money from both sides was even piled together.

  Merchants felt more at ease when paying money, and they all said: "With the Governor's Office as a guarantee, this company will not go bankrupt."

  Later on, due to the constant stream of people coming to conduct business every day, the waiting queue formed a long dragon. Everyone was standing for a long time and felt very tired, and several big fat men even fainted from standing, causing everyone to rush to their rescue.

  One day, Miss Niya passed by the side road, saw this scene, and kindly ordered people to bring several benches for everyone to rest. From then on, everyone called this place a bench, and the name that Ye Fengqi had given was no longer mentioned.

  As things progressed step by step, everyone in the duke's mansion was busy with a lot of work, and it was impossible to open the door. Compared to the previous deserted scene of the duke's mansion, a prosperous and bustling scene is now presented here.

  Many people come with big and small bags, hoping to get a share of the shares. The smarter ones even think about getting a position in this company.

  That old gatekeeper received red envelopes every day until his hands were numb, this scene of a bustling market at the door, he had only seen it in Nia's mother - former Prime Minister Qinna's home.

  He couldn't help but be moved to tears, and sighed: The Yuriius family is going to rise again.

  Among them, the city gate official Burina was favored by Nia and entrusted with important tasks, serving as the CEO of a business company (this name was decided by Yefeng, although everyone didn't understand what this word meant, but it sounded very powerful and cool, so they continued to use it. If anyone accidentally called Burina "General Manager", then he would be in for bad luck.)

  Those businessmen who got the stock rights certificates also called each other respectfully: Mo Dong, Zhou Dong, and were extremely delighted to see each other.

  The next day, Brynner hoisted the flag of the Duke's Mansion and started working.

  All those who want to join the commercial company, transport grain to Brynna, clear and count it, calculate its value, and then issue a share certificate with the signature of the Duke and the Great Seal.

  There are only fifty shares in total, each with a number, and the buyer also needs to register at Brynna, which is equivalent to real-name system. In fact, they were all prepared by Nina alone for a whole night.

  Morse, the outstanding smuggler, was the first to get the stock certificate. He was lucky that this time the ship was loaded with grain, and after temporarily buying some more, Morse made up a total of 4,000 gold coins worth of grain, and after transporting it to the Governor's Mansion, he got two stock certificates numbered 001 and 002.

  Decades later, the value of these two pieces of sheepskin far exceeded their face value and became evidence used by everyone to prove that our emperor is wise and powerful, with a broad vision, preserved in a certain large museum for people to admire.

  There were also several big businessmen who bought the stock rights, and compared to them, they didn't think much of the loan function of commercial companies. They thought that was just a trick by Ye Feng, this vampire, to swindle money. What they valued was the priority right when it came to auction trade monopolies.

  But at the same time, businessmen were secretly forming cliques and sabotaging each other. These greedy guys were fighting for that trade monopoly right.

  They waved the money in their hands and continuously bribed relevant personnel at the Governor's Office.

  Merchants with a long-term vision even sent gifts into Oola's hands, so the maids in the ducal palace could see this little prince laughing and playing with all sorts of new toys every day.

  And their main target of attack is still Mr. Ye.

  On one side, someone gave Ye Feng a purebred Aberdeen warhorse, and on the other side, someone sent a Damascus curved knife. Just then, there was a blind guy who was thinking of sending Ye Feng a beauty, but was discovered by Nia and Diana, who said in their own words that they were just passing by, it was a very accidental situation.

  The fellow was immediately thrown out, and his shares were politely returned to him by the Long Bench Company. And this unlucky guy found that his bad luck had not ended, all businessmen retreated from him, he could neither sell nor buy goods in Sina, finally had to leave dejectedly.

  But those merchants who came to offer gifts were not much better off. They were shocked to discover that Lord Ye, the Red Blooded Dragon Rider, was indeed a man who devoured people without spitting out their bones.

  He put away his things and was quite rude. Then he changed the subject, saying that something someone had given him was pretty good, which made these guys want to cry but couldn't. In order to maintain his own advantage, he had to continue spending a lot of money.

  As the day of March 28th in the year 618 of the Bright Calendar finally arrived, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Today was the day the auction would begin.

  Due to the large number of merchants participating in the auction, Chang Daban rented a conference hall from the Governor's Office of Xiniya. At the same time, following Ye Feng's instructions, another batch of musicians was invited, and they played continuously from morning till night, creating a lively atmosphere.

  The sun had just risen above the horizon, and the merchants were already sitting in their luxurious carriages, pouring out from every corner of the city to rush to the conference hall.

  They were dressed in their finest attire, which they only wore on festive occasions, and appeared inside the grand hall, warmly greeting each other with affection that was as close as brothers.

  The hall was suddenly filled with people rushing about, extremely lively.

  As the gong sounded, the hall fell silent. A loud-voiced guard bellowed at the top of his lungs: "Under the protection of the gods, the great ruler of Xynia, Duke Julius Sis arrives!"

  Everyone looked up and saw that the long-lost Duke Xisi was surrounded by Nia, Yefeng and others, stepping onto the podium.

  Everyone stood up and bowed, saying in unison: "Good day, Your Excellency."
