Malacca guards the important sea routes, which can be said to be the lifeline of Ganchao on the sea.

Whoever controls Malacca will catch Gao Huan's eggs.

When many businessmen heard that Luzon had already gone to Malacca, their eyes lit up.

To the west of Malacca is the vast Indian Ocean. The fleet of Ganchao left Malacca, and the Western barbarians could not stop it.

Gao Huan has newly established education, opened up people's wisdom, and introduced disciplines such as geography. A few years old Mongolian students will understand the world through geography.

These merchants also learned the basic situation of the world through other channels.

If a merchant ship can leave Malacca and arrive in India, and trade with the Mughal Empire with nearly 100 million people, then all the goods will be sold out.

The businessmen's eyes turned red when they thought of doing business with nearly 100 million people.

"If the Indians buy a piece of cloth or porcelain each, how long will I have to produce it and how much money will I have to make!" President Qian was shocked and had an orgasm in his skull.

Gao Huan looked at the businessmen talking and did not tell them that although India has a large population, 80% of the population actually has no consumption capacity.

This time, the inventory crisis has been solved, and it is time for merchants to compete, promote the improvement of workshop equipment, and use the steam engine as soon as possible.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone with a smile and finally got to the point, "How about it, is this West India Company going to be a big deal?"

"Your Majesty, if the Luzon Kingdom can occupy Malacca, then we will invest in this West India company!" President Qian immediately made a statement.

"Your Majesty, we are one of our chambers of commerce!" Many merchants agreed.

Gao Huan nodded, put down the teacup, leaned against the chair and waved: "Since that's the case, Xia Aiqing, please send the company's articles of association and prospectus, so that everyone can take a look and learn about the company."

Xia Wanchun immediately asked someone to pick up a stack of files and send one to everyone, while Gao Huan drank tea and waited for them to finish reading first.

This file is the prospectus of the West India Company. The court provided protection for the company's operations, solved the troubles encountered by the company overseas, and supported the policy. The court held 51% of the shares and was determined to be state-owned, but the court did not participate in direct operations.

This 51% of the state-owned assets will be controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of several major departments such as the Ministry of Revenue, Zhili, Songjiang, Guoan Department, and Jiangnan Yinhao.

Businessmen and chambers of commerce who are sitting can subscribe to 10% of their shares, and the remaining 39% will be raised from the private sector.

After everyone subscribes 10% of the share capital, they will not sell shares to the outside world for one year. After unlocking, they can be transferred freely.

After seeing the similar view, Gao Huan and others smiled and said, "Today is an internal raising. I will give you an internal price, one silver dollar per share. In a few days, the issue price per share will be set at one or two yuan! I promise to let you make at least twice the profit!"

Now everyone is familiar with state-owned companies.

West India Company is definitely making money, but the premise is whether it can take over Malacca.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, everyone calmed down for a moment.

After a while, President Qian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you have to subscribe now?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Of course, if you don't subscribe, how can the company have the money to buy? Everyone has a pile of goods? This is to save yourself. Do you understand?"

All the merchants are smart people. Now the British have cut off the ocean trade. If no one buys goods, the price will definitely collapse.

By then, the price of goods will plummet, not enough to pay the raw material merchants' materials, nor will they pay workers' wages, and everyone will have to go bankrupt.

Now we have formed a West India Company and purchased goods on the grounds of trading in Mughals. When we see that the goods are still sold in the market, the economy of Jiangnan can still operate and there will be no panic.

Of course, there must be a prerequisite, that is, Luzon can take over Malacca, otherwise they will lose all their money and be in debt. They can jump directly into the Huangpu River to pay attention in the next life.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, everyone talked for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "Okay! Let's subscribe!"

Gao Huan smiled slightly, "Sign the agreement, and then you organize your own sensible committee, recruit managers, and release news to purchase goods!"

After Gao Huan finished speaking, he stood up and left the reception hall. The rest of the matter was left to them.

In the following days, the newspaper announced the case that the imperial court took the lead in establishing the West India Company, which immediately sparked heated discussion among the public.

Various newspapers immediately began to hype the topic of doing business with the Mughal Empire of 100 million people, which made merchants in Jiangnan go crazy.

For a time, the fantasy of buying cloth sold his own cloth to one person. The fantasy of buying matches, and every Indian buys his own box of matches and how much can he earn.

The uneasiness in the Jiangnan land, as the establishment of the West India Company stabilized, an Indian fever arose.

When the gold rush comes out, you need to go overseas to participate. However, the current Indian craze can stay in Jiangnan to produce goods and can also participate in it and gain benefits.

At this time, news of the West India Company's public offering of shares came out, which immediately triggered a bigger craze.

After all, West India Company has a basic foundation and a story to tell.

The people saw that Dutch Public Indian companies and British East India companies had made too much money, and the advertising slogans of West India companies doing business with 100 million Mughals also gave people enough room for imagination.

Therefore, as soon as the stock was sold, it caused Jiangnan Capital to rush to buy, and the price quickly rose from one piece, two piece to more than three piece.

In the palace, Gao Huan worked in the study, and Xia Wanchun came in after reporting.

"Your Majesty, this is the situation of the issuance of West India Company's stocks!" Xia Wanchun said.

Gao Huan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but frown and said, "So hot?"

Xia Wanchun nodded and smiled and said, "Isn't this what Your Majesty wants to see? According to my understanding, many private lending funds have entered!"

After the land was nationalized, a large amount of silver was released, resulting in a lot of hot money in Jiangnan.

If this money is not attracted, it will lead to soaring housing prices and prices in Jiangnan.

Previously, Gao Huan used a method to roll up land, but with the failure of Jinshan County, land coupons suddenly collapsed when Gao Huan conquered the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that at that time, there were rich people who jumped into the water every day in the Huangpu River.

Now Gao Huan has launched the stock of West India Company, hoping to attract hot money to cool down both handicrafts and real estate.

Gao Huan threw the documents on the table and pondered for a moment, "Release some news and talk about the issue of Malacca. Don't let the West India Company stocks be too hot. I don't want anyone to jump into the river again!"

Xia Wanchun nodded when he heard the words, bowed and said, while Gao Huan stood up and stood in front of the chart, staring at Malacca, "Damu, don't let me down!"
Chapter completed!
