Chapter 186 Extraordinary Share Expansion
Since Mao Geng's new technology, Zhao Ling's monarch and ministers immediately realized that some of the technologies created by Mao Geng should be strictly confidential. The monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty were both familiar with the "Salt and Iron Theory" and were well aware of the benefits of the government's monopoly on profits, so they specially set up restrictions on bans, among which cement and time tables were the first batch of projects that strictly prohibited technology leaks from the court.
Later, gunpowder, mine manufacturing technology, and of course, cannon technology were naturally included in the imperial court's list of prohibited leakage. Later, lead printing equipment was added.
The imperial court included lead printing equipment on the list of prohibited exports. It is completely understandable that this lead printing technology is so magical. It originally required printing in monthly calculations, and it can be completed in two or three days. It is even more incredible that such a machine can print a newspaper every day. It is understandable that Zhao Xing, the monarch and ministers of the Jin Dynasty did not want the Jin Dynasty to have such a magical tool.
However, since Zhao Han believes that exporting lead printing machines is nothing special, Zhao Han submitted a memorial request to lift the ban as a positive breakthrough and do some work on the side, Han Tuozhou is confident that he will lift the ban soon.
For Han Tuozhou, the price of the flying scissors suddenly increased by 50%, which must be retrieved in other aspects no matter what. Han Tuozhou made up his mind that once the lead printing equipment is lifted, it is necessary to cheat the buyer.
Han Tuozhou left a little depressedly.
As soon as Han Tuozhou left, Zhao Yan came to the study. Jiang Ang and Zhao Yan's other aide, Tang Yushi, had been waiting there for a while.
Zhao Han asked:
"How? Tell me about the situation of subscribing to shares."
Tang Yushi, among Zhao Han's aides, is good at managing accounts and has good eloquence, so he was appointed by Zhao Han as the prospectus head of Oriental Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
"Reported to Duke Guo, 500,000 shares, 30% of the shares, 150,000 shares, and 150,000 shares were issued. He was worried that it would be difficult to subscribe in full, but now it seems that the subscription is very enthusiastic and is almost a rush to buy. If it were not for the requirement that a company can only subscribe at most 10%, the Wu family alone could subscribe to 20%. Dashi merchants were also rushing to subscribe. The remaining 20% were not enough for them to subscribe. According to the instructions that the shareholders of the Duke Guo should disperse, they would only give Dashi merchants 10% and the other 10% were mostly subscribed by Quanzhou merchants. 150,000 jin was temporarily planned to be distributed like this. Whether it is OK or not, please let the State make an announcement."
Oriental Shipbuilding will expand its shares after the New Year and adopt a public offering method. This was decided before the New Year. Seventy percent of the shares are accounted for 30% of the shares, the Song Dynasty government accounts for 20%, Taiwan-Song Hai Trade accounts for 20%, the SAR Group also accounts for 20%, and the other 30% are public offerings. Now it seems that the subscription market is very popular.
When Tang Yushi said this, Jiang Ang seemed very happy. Since the clipper was built, Jiang Ang has received unprecedented attention, and most of them came for the clipper.
Zhao Han nodded. But after noticing Jiang Ang's proud expression, Zhao Han asked:
"Gou Chang, do you think the subscription of shares is so enthusiastic, is it because of the flying boat scissors?"
"That's of course, Duke of the State, this flying scissor is sailing like a flying boat. Only we can build it exclusively, so it will naturally be sought after."
Zhao Han shook his head and said:
"Captain Gu, this is a bad word! I tell you, no matter what ship we build, iron ships or clippers, even if it is an ordinary old ship, 300,000 of our stocks can still be sold well. Let's put it this way, no matter which kind of ship we build, or even whether it is built or not, I have seen their faces clearly. They believe that as long as they can be listed on the SAR Stock Exchange in the future, they can make a lot of money. Captain Gu, think about it, is this true?"
Jiang Ang thought that this is true. At present, the three stocks listed on the SAR Stock Exchange have increased by at least several times. People will naturally think that the next one will definitely increase by several times. In this way, no matter whether they can build a fly-scissor ship or not, people will rush to subscribe to the shares of Oriental Shipbuilding.
Seeing Jiang Ang a little discouraged, Zhao Han felt that the blow was almost done, so he smiled and said:
"With that being said, however, building a fly-scissor is the icing on the cake. For subscribers, the better we build a boat, the more profit we make, the higher the stocks rise, and the more they make. Therefore, building a fly-scissor is a great thing after all. Our stocks are so pretty, and you have a credit for your long-term stock."
Tang Yushi quickly flattered:
"The Duke of the Kingdom is no better, and Luo Jian and his subordinates have the same statement, but it is not as clear as the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom."
"Oh, does this Luo Jian say the same thing! I'll invite Luo Jian to come tomorrow, and I want to listen to his opinion."
Jiang Ang is a practical talent and doesn't like speculative things like the Stock Exchange. Luo Jian is famous for talking big. The Duke must not be fooled by him. So Jiang Ang advised:
"Duke of the Kingdom, Luo Jian's words are not true, and the Lord of the Kingdom should not believe his words easily."
Zhao Han laughed:
"Gou, do you know what I want to do! I'm thinking, since the subscription is so enthusiastic, it's better to take the opportunity to raise more shares. My initial idea is that 500,000 shares are still not enough, only 500,000 guan, and the money is not enough to spend. I plan to build a shipyard of the same size as Kaohsiung in Taipei, and the additional 300,000 shares are planned to be used to build a factory in Taipei. I'm looking for Luo Jian to find out if there will be any disadvantages in the public raising of 390,000 guan."
Zhao Han has been thinking about how to make arrangements these days. After all, Taipei is the capital he chose, and Kaohsiung is just a headquarters. It is impossible for him to stay here all the time. That's how it would be! So it was natural for Zhao Han to plan to build a new shipyard in Taipei. When he went to Taipei in the future, he would not delay himself from arresting the important matter of shipbuilding. He would also be able to come to the Special Administrative Region in the future, but at that time he could only stay for a while in the name of inspection. It would be obvious that he would not be able to stay for a long time.
"Yes, yes! The Duke of Guo is really far-sighted. It is of course better to build a new shipyard in Taipei. Of course, more speedboats like the Clippers should be built. The more they are, the better. The Duke of Guo has set up a plate of 800,000 shares. According to his subordinates, there is no need to worry about subscribing at all. Not to mention 390,000 guan, even if it is one million guan, his subordinates dare to make a guarantee and can subscribe in three days."
Tang Yushi was also worried about the development of hunger in Taipei. Obviously, almost all people who come to Taiwan now come from the Special Administrative Region, and there are people in Taipei, but most of them go to the gold mining industry. However, the gold mining industry is currently the official business, and the main force of the gold mining industry is still the original wing army. Most of the immigrants who went to pick up gold were disappointed soon and turned to the special administrative region.
Therefore, Wang Jiren's suggestion is to let go of private gold mining, and Taipei will probably become popular. But this matter must be approved by the court, and it is not something that Zhao Han can say.
Another way is to set up some well-profit factories that can drive popularity, among which the shipyard is an ideal choice.
"But, the Duke of the National People's Republic of China may not have such good conditions in Taipei!"
Jiang Angke was unwilling to leave the Special Administrative Region. After leaving the Special Administrative Region, he would not receive Mao Geng's personal guidance.
Zhao Yan smiled and said:
"Captain Gu, don't worry, you don't have to go to Taipei, you still do it here. I have my own arrangements for Taipei.Captain Gu, when we build ships, we must pay attention to confidentiality. Although there is patent protection, no one dares to plagiarize or imitate our new ships within the Song Dynasty, the Jin people and overseas sub-countries have no taboos, so we have to take good care of everything. The Special Administrative Region is good, but merchants gather and the fish and dragons are mixed. The shipyard happens to be in the port, which is not convenient to keep it confidential! If you set up a shipyard in Taipei, at least in terms of confidentiality, it is much better than here. I have decided, so you don't have to say much."
Chapter completed!
