【309】 Exchange opening(1/2)

After the lesson from the last luncheon, their carriages were decorated very luxuriously, with gold hanging on jade, and the horses pulling the carriages were replaced by purebred horses, with high spirits and smooth fur.

Although he is not as good as the Earl of Beihai who sent 12 luxurious carriages in one go, he can't be compared too much by him, right?

The little rich all think so.

Especially today is the first day of stock listing, and your own pomp and appearance directly or indirectly affect the opening price trend!

It is related to face and inner self (the money earned by stock price), and you cannot show weakness.

However, the next appearance of Long Hao and Carnegie once again slapped the little rich man with a loud slap in the face: two dark and atmospheric four-wheeled cars, dressed in red ribbons, carried low and high-end engine sounds, slowly drove from the end of the passage, like a king's patrol, which attracted the attention of all the audience present.

Unsightly amazement: What are these two iron boxes? Four wheels, wow, can you start without the rails underneath?

I was shocked by the knowledge: Is this a car? But it seems that no steam appears, and the top is sealed like a train! Such a car looks very high-end, must be very expensive, right?

Two cars with the typical Mercedes-Benz "Three-pointed Star" logo stopped at the door of the exchange, opened the door and walked down two groups of people.

Long Hao, who was wearing a famous zss brand, made a stunning appearance with Yuan'er and Ai Shili in his hand. He was handsome and beautiful, leading the trend and immediately aroused a lot of applause.

Carnegie, wearing a simple and domineering outfit, held the exquisite and cute Seagate, one old and one woman, causing a burst of sucking: The King of Steel has such a strong aura, that likable girl is his daughter, right? Wow, so cute. I really want to go back to raise...

This way of appearance immediately made the people around you forget the little rich people. Tsk, compared with these two high-end, atmospheric and high-end cars, your carriage is simply weak!

Long Hao did not forget to promote DMG: "Dear citizens of San Francisco, before the exchange opens the ribbon-cutting. Please allow me to thank you for providing transportation vehicles for Mr. Carnegie and me...Mr. Daimler and its DMG Automobile Company!"

"This is the latest product developed by DMG, named after Princess Xianlu - Melissa Mercedes-Benz brand car!"

"Unlike the traditional steam engine push, it adopts the latest internal combustion engine technology, fueled by gasoline, and can reach a maximum speed of 75 km/h..."

"This car is still being improved and will be put on the market soon... I quietly asked Mr. Daimler and his team that the cost of this car costs $1,500. The price I gave is $2,000. This price is definitely worthy of a successful person. Just $2,000, it can make a noble person travel freely without considering whether the coachman is going to take a vacation, whether the horse will get sick, and whether the coachman will have to keep a confidentiality fee after returning home..."

"Hahaha!"

When you hear this, many wealthy and nobles will smile: You can own such a beautiful car for $2,000. It is really not expensive.

Daimler's face was as red as the rising sun. He was both excited and guilty: The cost of this car is less than $300, and it will be sold for 2,000...will it be too high?

This episode of promoting cars is over soon, because ten o'clock has arrived, and we will give way to today's protagonist: the San Francisco Exchange.

Under the auspices of Mayor Stevenson, Long Hao, Carnegie, Princess Aishi, T.K. Morgan and several other highly respected people stood side by side at the door of the exchange, put down scissors together, and cut the long red ball of ribbon into dozens of segments. When the ribbon fell, the deafening sound of firecrackers also rumbling, and the iron gate of the exchange was slowly opened: the first stock exchange in the western United States has officially opened!

At 10:10, under the protection of San Francisco police, the exchange began to release people into the venue one by one in an orderly manner.

At 10:20, Ancelotti squeezed in the middle of a long line, tiptoing impatiently, cursing the people in front of him, why is it difficult to buy Mr. Carnegie's stock when it's his turn to enter the exchange? What if he can't buy Mr. Carnegie's stock?

Ancelotti is an Italian-born small workshop owner. He is a loyal fan of Carnegie. When the exchange announced that 13 companies under Carnegie were listed, he took out $3,000 in savings and decided to come here to make a try. He would naturally be happy if he made a profit. Even if he lost money, he could fulfill his dream of "chasing stars".

But there is nothing to do if you are anxious. The police are guarding the door. Whoever dares to jump into the line or get confused will be expelled.

Speaking of which, the San Francisco City Government attached great importance to the opening of the exchange this time. It was announced five days ago that on the first day of transaction, only by opening a certificate of residence and tax payment certificate with the city government can you successfully enter the exchange.

Although such regulations have caused a lot of complaints, people with insight applaud, because in this way, people who have no money to come to the exchange to make trouble can be excluded as much as possible.

Ancelotti complained for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked at the Chinese man behind him.

This Chinese man has dark skin, strong and capable, and he is looking like he is working hard in a dock and warehouse. Ancelotti despises him very much: Yellow-skinned pig, do you have a piece of money to enter the exchange? You can't just make trouble on purpose, right?

The coolie Chinese was holding a piece of paper covered with red marks, shaking excitedly, and a happy smile appeared on his honest face, just like waiting for the boss to settle his wages in the evening.

Ancelotti couldn't see it, so he pinched his nose and turned around and said, "Hey, have you brought money? With this piece of paper, you can't buy stocks."

The Chinese coolie was wearing a short jacket. Ancelotti looked at him for a long time and couldn't see that he had a pocket to hold the dollar.

The Chinese Kuli grinned: "No money, this contract was issued by Hongmen. It can be exchanged for ten shares. I heard that it can be doubled in three days after holding it in your hand!"

contract?!

Ancelotti was confused with a hint of disdain. He looked at the stained paper and asked, "I said, you won't be deceived, are you? I have been traveling around for so many years, and I have never heard of a gang's 'contract' that can be exchanged for stocks!"

Ancelotti's good material was covered with elegant taste. With that white skin, the coolie Chinese Park Sanfei suddenly hesitated. He put away his excitement and carefully handed the contract to Ancelotti: "Sir, look, this is the seal of the Hongmen boss. There will be no mistakes, there will be no mistakes... right?"

Ancelotti glanced at it and didn't even get the dirty contract. It was covered with square characters. How could the noble Italians understand it!

While following the team forward, he smiled and said, "You must have been cheated. The securities on the exchange have never been as good as you Chinese. Your team is in vain!"

Master Yang said that he had been cheated. Park Sanfei immediately drooped his face and muttered: "How could he cheat me? Many of my brothers have taken this contract, saying that they can exchange stocks as soon as they enter, and it is money to exchange stocks... How could he cheat me!"

Park Sanfei still didn't leave after all. He folded the contract and put it in his palm. While moving, he prayed to Zhoutian God and Buddha: Hongmen must not lie to me. I have been joining you for more than a year!

At 10:36, Ancelotti and Park Sanfei finally entered the exchange. The entrance was a hall with a dome open and a height of at least 10 meters. On the first and a half floors, there were more than ten large blackboards erected. On the blackboard, a row of English names and Arabic numerals were written in white chalk.

The English name is the name of the listed company.

Arabic numerals are naturally records of changing stock prices and large amounts of transactions.

At the corner of the lobby on the first floor, a group of staff wearing green vests sat behind rows of tables, listening nervously to the readings of the transmitter, recording data like enclaves, and tearing off the paper from time to time. They handed it off to the little brothers in black waiting beside them... Behind them, there were several senior staff wearing red vests, standing up, holding black receivers, covering their ears, and shouting at them.

Ancelotti has a lot of knowledge and recognizes the black objects with earpieces called telephones. They are magical things that can be used to talk long distances. They were only sold in the eastern United States, but unexpectedly, the San Francisco Exchange also has several units!

The black guys took the paper and ran to the first and half a floor as a cradle, lifted up chalk and board erases, and wrote down new data on the blackboard. Such actions often attracted screams and curses from some people in the hall.

The first floor hall of the exchange is large, at least thousands of square meters, but even so, Ancelotti felt very crowded, the air in the inhalation mouth was turbid, the noise from the ears was harsh, and all the discomfort made his chest feel very stuffy.

There are so many people!

On the left side of the hall are staff receiving quotations, and on the right side is the window for buying stocks. There are quite a few people there. When the gate was opened, investors who came in to buy stocks almost squeezed out the counter there. If there were no police officers who were waving batons viciously to maintain order, there would be stampedeships.

Ancelotti rubbed her chest and squeezed to her right. As mentioned earlier, his target was the stocks of 13 companies under Carnegie. While squeezing, he turned his head to look at more than ten large blackboards at a height, as if he wanted to see through the mystery inside and find the one with the highest profit rate!

"What are you squeezing? Walking in the middle of the iron railing. By the way, have you brought the money? If you are joining in the fun and not buying stocks, someone will curse you!"

A white policeman yelled at Ancelotti fiercely.

After squeezing into the crowd, Ancelotti discovered that there was a circle of iron railings turning back and forth in front of the window. Those who wanted to buy stocks had to line up inside. At the end, there was a thick policeman with bright eyes standing beside him. When he found that the trouble was caused, he knocked them down with a few sticks, and dragged them out of the trading hall like a sack.

"Yes, yes, sir, I brought the money!"

Ancelotti quickly took out the $3,000, a thick stack. He blinked his little eyes and rubbed the dollar on his face, as if he was hesitating whether to bribe the fierce policeman.

"It's all right after taking the money. Don't you follow me, are you looking for a beating?"

The policeman's eyes softened a lot when he saw the banknotes. With a wave of his hand, he ordered Ancelotti to get into the iron railing.

call……

Ancelotti covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: It would be good if she could not bribe her.

However, Ancelotti walked along the team a few times, and when she turned around, she felt chest tightness again: Your sister, why is this Chinese coolie still in dispersed? She is following me again?

It turned out that behind Ancelotti was the one who happened to be Park Sanfei with a honest smile.

Ancelotti asked, "You brought the money? How did he let you in?"

Ancelotti was surprised and secretly pointed to the white policeman guarding the iron railing, as if he believed that Park Sanfei was cheating: Didn’t he say that he would not be allowed to line up in this line without money? How did this yellow pig get in?

"I have this!"

Park Sanfei smiled proudly and put the contract sent by Hongmen on his chest: "That commander recognizes this, I have no money, so I'm also putting it in!"

Thanks to the police's recognition, Park Sanfei's energy has returned to its original state, and he stomped his feet back and forth, and was so excited.

This broken paper can really be exchanged for stocks?!

Ancelotti's heart was thrilled: What is this? The new way to play the San Francisco Exchange? Hey, why haven't I heard the rumor?

But soon, Ancelotti didn't want this anymore because he still had to "see through the mystery" and choose the best Carnegie stock for himself!

At 10:50, Ancelotti finally arrived at the stock sales window. He handed in $3,000 and said loudly: "Buy all Carnegie Steelmaking Factory No. 1, yes, it's the one with a stock price of 19.9!"

"Sorry, this stock has no extra stock. It's sold out."

Inside the window, there was a very mechanical and cold sound.

None?

Ancelotti's heart was as if he was twisting his head. Because he turned his head and found a black guy rubbed under "Carnegie Steelmaking Factory No. 1" and wrote the words 20.5.

"Then buy me the stock of Carnegie Bridge Infrastructure, the $8.50-dollar one!"

"Only 200 shares are left, can you buy them all?"

"purchase!"

"Wait a minute, the transaction is successful. You have $1,300 left, do you still want to buy it?"

"Of course, I have to buy Carnegie Railway Factory 2..."

After a long delay, Ancelotti spent all $3,000 to exchange for a bunch of colorful stock warrants.

Ancelotti held the stocks. She was like a child in old age, and she was so happy that her eyes narrowed and her mouth couldn't close. She didn't know how happy she was.

These Carnegie Enterprise stocks are money to buy!

Although Ancelotti was still a little regretful, because someone bought all the stocks of Carnegie's four best steelmaking companies, so he had to settle for the second best and bought the stocks of 5 Carnegie's "second-tier" companies. However, Ancelotti was very open-minded: at least I bought it, hum, the people behind must have money to buy stocks!

As soon as Ancelotti looked up, he saw that one of the companies belonging to the "Carnegie section" on the big blackboard had the words "So" written on it, and his mouth couldn't help but open it wider.

"Sir, sir, you see, I've also switched to stocks!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Ancelotti's ear. He turned his head and saw that it was Park Sanfei.

Park Sanfei's purple-red face radiated red light. He shook a colorful stock warrant and showed Ancelotti as if he was offering treasures: "Sir, look, do you see, do you write ten on it? Are they ten stocks of the 'China Association'?"

Because he had had two dealings with Ancelotti before, Park Sanfei subconsciously felt that this foreigner was easy to talk to.
