  Chapter 1032 1028【Stock Broker】

  In another time and space, Zheng Sen has died of illness for three years.

   Now he is still alive and well, with two sons and one daughter, no concubines, and his official position has come to an end. As a son-in-law, he serves as the left chief envoy of a province. If he is transferred to the central government in the future, his rank will drop instead.

  On this day, Zheng Sen took his wife, Zhao Zhenfang, out of the city to visit Guandi Temple on microservices.

  Because there are too many scammers, private stock trading has naturally formed rules.

  Everyone goes to the Guandi Temple to buy and sell stocks, and the same kind get together, which is convenient for buyers and easy for sellers. If there are liars, they will be beaten up collectively, and then turned over to the government.

  Zhao Zhenfang didn’t bring her maid and guards with her. She followed her husband in a rich car and got off a few dozen feet outside Guandi Temple. From afar, I could see crowds of people in front of me. Ever since the rise of the open-air stock market, Guandi Temple seemed to be attending a temple fair every day.

   "It's lively." Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile.

   Zheng Sen sighed: "The more lively it is, the more difficult it is to manage. The government has caught more than 30 liars."

   The couple strolled over and saw many young people sitting on the small horses on both sides of the open space in front of the hall.

  Zheng Sen walked up to a young man and saw a cardboard next to him. The card said: My surname is Xie Mingsheng, and my name is Daguang. Proficient in mathematics, he worked as an apprentice in a shop accountant. It can buy and sell stocks on behalf of you, provide stock letter consultation, and help identify true and false...Honest and trustworthy, innocent and innocent.

   "Are you taking money?" Zheng Sen asked.

  The young man named Xie Sheng immediately became full of energy when he saw the business coming: "Master, madam, but you want to buy stocks? The stock letter consultation is free, and a commission is charged for buying and selling stocks."

  Zhao Zhenfang asked: "If I have stocks in my hand and I ask you to sell them on behalf of me, how can I guarantee that you will not partner with the buyer to cheat?"

Xie Sheng said with a smile: "The commission is charged in proportion, it's a convention, and everyone takes two thousandths. The higher the selling price of your stock, the more commission I will charge. Every day the stock price is about the same, there is not much difference between high and low. If you lie to you too much, it will be easy to be discovered; if you lie to you too little, I will not be worthy."

   "You won't take the stock and run away?" Zheng Sen asked.

"Large-amount stocks, you keep them yourself. Just leave an address. After I find a buyer, I will bring the buyer to you." Xie Sheng took out two documents, "If you can trust, small-amount stocks can also be deposited in the Here I am. This is my household registration booklet and high school graduation certificate, and my address is also on the household registration booklet. I also have a family and a family, and I am afraid of lawsuits, so I will not do such deceitful things."

  Zheng Sen glanced at his secondary school graduation certificate: "With your degree, why don't you take the official examination? Even if you don't pass the exam, you can find a regular business student."

  Xie Sheng said with a smile: "I used to be an apprentice accountant in a shop, and I didn't have a good relationship with Master, so I didn't bother to be bullied by him. Later, I started a small business by myself. Now that the stock market is booming, I can make more money doing this."

   Zheng Sen said: "I want to buy stocks. I heard that they have been rising, but I am afraid that one day they will fall."

  Xie Sheng immediately reassured: "You can rest assured, based on the current market, look for a few big stocks, and they will definitely only rise and not fall."

   "There are many kinds of stocks?" Zheng Sen asked in surprise.

Xie Sheng said like a few treasures: "The most famous one is of course the Indian trading company, commonly known as Tianzhu stock and old stock. The second is Xie Yuan, the boss and I are still in the same family. This Xie Yuan is a time-honored iron smelting company in Foshan. Others use steam engines instead. , He also artificially fried iron and forged steel. Now he finally wakes up and plans to buy some steam engines and expand the iron factory, so he issued shares to raise funds. This stock is commonly known as iron stock, and it is also selling well at present.”

   "Aside from old stocks and iron stocks, are there others?" Zheng Sen asked again.

Xie Sheng said: "There are also sugar stocks. The owner is in the sugar business and plans to recruit people to open up wasteland in Java Island and plant sugar cane. To open up wasteland, you have to fight with the natives. The natives in Java Island are very fierce, and you need to buy a lot of soldiers. Okay. Land reclamation also requires people to ask for money. Don’t you want to raise some money by issuing stocks? This sugar stock is not issued much, and only 5,000 taels of par value have been issued, but it has risen sharply in the past two days... "

  Xie Sheng named seven stocks in a row, and also introduced the background of the stocks in detail.

  Zheng Sen was extremely surprised, because in the past two months since the Indian trading company issued shares, so many types of stocks have appeared.

   "I want to take a look at sugar stocks." Zheng Sen said.

   There was a wooden box by Xie Sheng's feet. The box was locked, and a rope was tied around his ankle. He took out the key to unlock it, carefully took out a stock, and said, "Don't get dirty or wrinkled."

  Zhao Zhenfang came over and examined it carefully with her husband.

   Except for the paper material, which is different from the official stamps issued by the imperial court, the rest of the anti-counterfeiting signs are all imitating official stamps. Moreover, there is a serial number on the face of the ticket, and there is half a seam stamp on the front of the ticket. As for the other half stamp, it should be on the bottom ticket of the stock issuing company. Only when the compilation and the seam seal can be matched will it be recognized by the stock issuer, which is convenient for cashing out dividends every year.

   "How much has this stock risen?" Zheng Sen asked.

Xie Sheng replied: "The denomination of the leaflet is one yuan, and today it has risen to one yuan and fourty-eight cents. The employer I helped to sell on behalf of me said that it would only be sold for one yuan and fifty cents. If you want to buy it, you can take it for one yuan and five cents. If you come back tomorrow, you will definitely buy it at this price not."

  Zhao Zhenfang was a little strange: "The owners of these stocks, why don't they come to sell them themselves? They insist on letting you sell them."

  Xie Sheng said with a smile: "People have to do things every day, so they can't stay in Guandi Temple every day and do nothing else just for a few yuan in stocks."

   At this moment, a person came by: "Do you have sugar stocks?"

   "One piece and five." Xie Sheng said.

  The man said: "The market price is only 1.48 cents."

  Xie Sheng said: "Whether you like it or not."

  The man asked: "How many do you have?"

  Xie Sheng said: "A total of fifty-three shares."

  The man took out a ticket: "The bank note of Xinlong bank, the ticket value is one hundred taels, you check it yourself."

  Xie Sheng took the bank note and carefully checked the anti-counterfeiting mark. After confirming that they were correct, he took out fifty-three sugar stocks and said, "You count it."

  The man also began to check the authenticity and quantity of the stock, and nodded with satisfaction: "The goods are right."

  Xie Sheng took out two stacks of large silver dollars from the bottom of the box, and gave another small silver dollar: "Twenty and fifty cents for you."

  A stock transaction was completed in front of Zheng Sen and his wife.

  Xie Sheng put away the bank notes and asked, "The sugar stocks in my hand are sold out, do you two want to buy other stocks?"

   Zheng Sen said: "I'll go around again."

Xie Sheng wasted a lot of talking, but he was not angry at this time, and said with a smile: "Those two go slowly, you can come to me when you buy and sell stocks in the future. I have been in this business for a month, and I have never had anything wrong. Fake it."

   "Fake tickets, there are fake tickets!"

  Suddenly there was a shout, Xie Sheng quickly picked up the wooden box and ran towards the direction of the sound.

  The nearby stockbrokers are all in action. They rushed forward spontaneously, and soon surrounded the scammers selling fake stocks.

"kill him!"

   "Don't beat him to death, you will face a lawsuit."

   "As usual, he was beaten to death and dragged to see the official, and he beat his mother. Finally, he managed to make money and make a living. We can't let these crooks ruin the business!"

   "..."

   Since Xie Sheng was too far away, it was too late to rush over, so he could only yell around outside.

   When the crowd dispersed, the liar was already dying.

"it is good!"

  Seeing the miserable end of the scammer, whether it is a stockbroker or an investor who came to buy stocks, they all laughed heartily.

Zheng Sen took Zhao Zhenfang away, and said as he walked: "Although these people have established their own rules, they still have many problems. Stocks are just a piece of paper. Buying short and selling short is ultimately vain. Especially the old stocks of Indian trading companies, I heard that they have gone up. From 12 to 2 shares, in just over two months, it has doubled by 12 times. How much money can I get when I hold the stock for dividends next year? How much it has risen this year, it will fall much next year. Buyers at high prices, I'm afraid it will be a terrible loss."

Zhao Zhenfang said: "Indian trading companies are still reliable, but I am afraid that some small shops will also issue stocks. If they lose money and go bankrupt, wouldn't those who bought stocks lose their money? There are also those who help buy and sell stocks (brokers) , but if there is evil intention, there will be many troubles."

  Zheng Sen said: "This matter must be handed over to the Guangdong Commercial Office. First, any trading company must report to the Commercial Office for issuance of shares, and you cannot issue it yourself."

"There must be a threshold," Zhao Zhenfang helped to add, "It must be an old trading company that has been in business for more than ten years, so as to prevent someone from setting up a new trading company and issuing stocks to cheat money everywhere. When the time limit is reached, the status of the trading company must be reviewed. It’s not about how much debt you have, how much cash, shops, factories, ships, etc.”

   Zheng Sen said: "Accounts still need to be checked, and trading companies that have been losing money are not allowed to issue stocks."

  Zhao Zhenfang smiled and said, "That's right."

Zheng Sen also said: "Secondly, those who help buy and sell stocks are called 'squat teeth'. All of them must be reported to the commercial office, at least they must have a high school diploma, and there is no previous history of committing a crime. There must be parents or wives and children in the family, and those whose parents are dead and have no wives and children are not allowed to buy or sell stocks for others.”

  Zheng Sen pondered carefully: "I only think about these for the time being. If there is any trouble in the future, I can add it later."

  Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile: "My husband forgot the most important thing."

   "What's the matter?" Zheng Sen couldn't figure it out.

   "Taxation!" Zhao Zhenfang said.

   Zheng Sen clapped his hands and said, "That's right, deed tax is charged for buying and selling houses, and of course tax is also charged for buying and selling stocks."

Zhao Zhenfang said: "I see different papers, different inks, and strange patterns for each company's stocks. You can ask the finance department to make stocks specifically, so that no matter which trading company's stocks are in the same shape, leave blanks at key points, and wait for the issuance For stocks, fill in the specific company name and other content. This will not only allow the stock to be regulated, but also give the government a reason to collect taxes.”

  Zheng Sen frowned again: "But stocks are not like houses. They can be bought and sold on the street. How can the government collect taxes?"

"Give them a material, and stocks can only be traded there," Zhao Zhenfang said. "All street transactions are not approved by the government. If someone is cheated, the scammer is guilty of fraud, and the victim is guilty of tax evasion. And , Gu Ya can only buy and sell stocks for others in official places. Once Gu Ya trades privately, if he finds out, his license will be revoked."

   "This method is feasible," Zheng Sen said, "The imperial court prohibits the collection of exorbitant taxes. If you want to collect taxes on stocks, you must report to the imperial court for approval. I will write a secret report to His Majesty when I get home."
