Ruins of the past

Since buying the shares of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, Luo Binghong's greatest pleasure every day is to go to the exchange to check the stock price.

Every time the stock price rose by 1 yuan, she was overjoyed and kept counting how much money she had made.

Every time the stock price fell by 1 yuan, she would frown deeply and look up at the bulletin board from time to time, constantly paying attention to the changes in the stock price.

After experiencing the shock, Luo Binghong watched the stock price continue to rise. She was so excited that she couldn't even sleep at night. She kept thinking about the days after the stock price was 10 taels... 20 taels... 50 taels.

‘I will go back to Yongzhou after a while and ask the sect to invest more money. ’

‘At that time, all the land, houses, and shops in Yongzhou will be sold…. ’

Although there were vague rumors of leaked drawings, the stock price was still rising, and Luo Binghong didn't take it to heart.

On this day, she came to the exchange to check the stock price as usual, and found that the exchange clerk was climbing up the bulletin board to post the latest stock trading price.

Faced with this scene, bursts of cheers came from the crowd, and the investors shouted in anticipation: "Up!"

"rise!"

"rise!"

Luo Binghong was infected by this atmosphere and started shouting too.

But when the latest stock price was posted, the scene fell silent for an instant.

"Five taels and nine dollars?"

"Why did it fall?"

"Don't panic, everyone, it's just a stock price adjustment!"

But after the next stock price update, more and more people started to panic looking at the price of 5 taels and 8 yuan.

"Why is it still falling?"

"Was it posted wrong?"

"Five taels and five dollars!"

"Someone fainted again! Someone take him out!"

"Don't fall again!"

The exchange that was full of joy not long ago suddenly became gloomy and gloomy.

Luo Binghong stood blankly on the street, looking at the changes in stock prices on the bulletin board with a look of shock.

She quickly ran to ask Chu Qiguang: "Teacher! The stock price has dropped to 5 taels!"

Because she admires Chu Qiguang's stock trading skills, Luo Binghong calls Chu Qiguang "teacher" these days.

"I know." Chu Qiguang said, "Don't be anxious."

"The two major chambers of commerce involve countless aristocratic families in Lingzhou. If they continue to fall like this, it will definitely cause turmoil. The imperial court will not sit idly by and will definitely step in to save the market."

"Hold on to the stock in your hand."

Chu Qiguang's words comforted Luo Binghong.

Then facing the doubts of the leader and believers, Luo Binghong tried her best to explain: "Everyone, listen to me! The imperial court will rescue the market."

But then everyone watched the stock price fall like a waterfall.

They didn't even have a chance to sell, so they saw the exchange finally posted a notice announcing the suspension of trading.

"How could this happen?" Marshal Chen Qingyong murmured: "6 taels fell to 2 taels? The 190,000 taels we invested have now become more than 60,000 taels?"

Another leader said: "Convene a shareholders' meeting? Major business changes? What does this mean?"

"This money is used to buy elixirs for the leader and the saint to practice. What should I do if I lose it now?"

Luo Binghong was also panicked now. She murmured: "It's okay. The teacher said the court will rescue the market."

Everyone was agitated and planned to go to Chu Qiguang to ask what was going on.

Just as they were leaving, on the street in front of the exchange, Yi Siman and several wolf clan warriors were also watching the drop in stock prices.

A wolf clan warrior grabbed Yi Siman and said, "What's going on? Why did the stock price fall?"

"This is money used to buy food for our wolf tribe! What should we do now?"

"Yisiman! It's you who wants to buy the stock! How should we explain it to the prince now?"

On the other side, Luo Binghong led five marshals to look for Chu Qiguang, only to find that the courtyard where the other party rented was already empty.

There seemed to be a thump in their hearts, and a bad premonition came to their minds.

Luo Binghong felt something strange in the eyes of the commanders around her.

"Luo Binghong! Are you with those liars?"

"From the beginning to the end, you were rushing for us to buy stocks."

"It's you who caused us to lose so much money. Come back with us to see the leader!"

Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's stock price plummeted, trading was suspended, and a shareholders' meeting was about to be held...

The series of news did not give all the wealthy families in Lingzhou much time to react, and slowly spread in all directions with the exchange as the center.

Some major shareholders were personally visited by Zhong Shan'e.

…

On the other side, Chu Qiguang was leading his men to prepare for the shareholders' meeting.

Yaoyin Village is helping to copy the picture album and prepare the materials for the meeting.

Wang Cailiang led others to arrange the scene.

Yang Ling went to appease some aristocratic families who wanted to cause trouble.

A mysterious machine was also transported to the conference site and was assembled bit by bit under the busy work of the craftsmen.

Due to the location, the original water power was temporarily replaced by horses.

Seeing the mule machine gradually running after assembly, Chu Qiguang nodded with satisfaction.

…

On the other side... In the Wu family's mansion, Wu Wei smashed the vase directly on the ground, then slapped it with another palm, breaking the desk into two pieces.

In the past two days, he had lost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on his books.

At this moment, Wu Wei's face was red, like a wild beast that chose people to devour.

He turned his head sharply, glared at Sun Bin and said, "Zhong Shan'e made an appointment for us to talk with the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce. What do you think he had in mind?"

"There are rumors that the imperial court will rescue the market? What do you think?"

Sun Bin glanced at the servants around him, and Wu Wei immediately waved them all to leave.

After he and Wu Wei were the only ones left in the hall, Sun Bin said: "It would be nice if the higher-ups don't come to dig out a bite of meat to eat. How can they come to provide money to save the market?"

"In my opinion, this is because Zhong Shan'e is worried that the stock market will affect the overall situation of Lingzhou and hinder him from dealing with Jiubian. That's why we suspended trading. It was just a delaying measure."

"If we do nothing, I'm afraid the stock price will drop to worthless immediately after trading resumes."

"For the current plan..." Sun Bin said solemnly: "The only way is to unite with other shareholders and find a way to increase the stock price together, and then sell the stocks."

"If you want to do this, you have to connect with other shareholders in advance before the meeting."

"Only in this way can we attack the issue together at the conference and make the final decision."

"As long as there are enough aristocratic families united, not even Zhong Shan'e can suppress them any longer."

Wu Wei nodded in agreement, and in the next few days he began to visit the major shareholders one by one.

…

As the date of the shareholders' meeting draws closer, rumors of a bailout by the imperial court are also rampant.

Countless wealthy families holding Qingyang Chamber of Commerce stocks came to Qingyang County in batches, each with different plans in mind.

Waves of people came to Zhong Shan'e in turn, almost stepping through the threshold of his yard.

Everyone wants to ask Zhong Shan'e for news.

There are more and more people in Qingyang County, and there is already a lot of traffic, and the inns and inns are full.

Inside and outside the workshop where the shareholders' meeting was held, there were already people from the Suppression Division. No one knew what the Suppression Division people were preparing.

Finally, the day of the shareholders' meeting arrived, and representatives of the family, the Celestial Master Sect, the nobles, and the clan were welcomed in.

They gathered together according to different regions and factions, and they all wanted to communicate with each other and test the intelligence in front of them.

Wu Wei and Sun Bin also arrived at the workshop. After greeting several acquaintances along the way, they nodded tacitly.
