Chapter 748 Pingzhou Public Debt
Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is going to hold a meeting of high-quality investors!
This news spread quickly among the middle and upper class circles in Pingzhou.
The wealthy families with whom we have cooperated in the past, such as Lan Bingcheng and Geng Yuan, who have no problems and are considered high-quality partners, all received invitations this time.
But in Pingzhou, not to mention the newly joined families, there are countless wealthy families who have moved to Pingzhou before.
In short, there are still many rich people, and they all need this invitation.
At the beginning, all the invitation letters prepared by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were distributed, but it was still not enough and invitation letters were hard to come by.
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had to print a second batch.
However, this second batch of invitations cost money, about 10,000 Pingzhou banknotes per letter. Even so, all the second batch of invitations were bought out.
No one who received the invitation was absent.
As soon as the three days were up, early in the morning, the first floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building was bustling with people.
Such a lively scene made all the invited guests look at each other in bewilderment, and as time went on, the smiles on everyone's faces became less and less.
When greeting each other, attitudes are becoming more and more perfunctory.
Except for those who came together, the eyes of the others looked at each other with murderous intent, even if the people they were looking at were acquaintances.
There is no way. There are too many people coming, and I am afraid that there will be too many people and too little meat. Anyway, they just fight with their eyes. Killing one is one, killing two is a pair.
Geng Yuan and his son arrived early. Seeing Lan Bingcheng, he couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Old Geng, I heard you took all the money for the land purchase? You're not going to buy the land anymore?"
Lan Bingcheng replied coldly, "It's the same for you, isn't it? Those shops won't buy? You've already discussed this with Old Yang, right? They still won't buy, and Old Yang is completely confused."
Geng Yuan surrendered, "Okay, okay, we're both equally matched, so let's not criticize each other anymore."
On the third floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Qin Sheng was accompanied by Lu Songli, Xue Xu, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others.
The tea and snacks were served and they ate slowly.
"It's so lively downstairs." Dong Jichuan sighed.
Guo Chong nodded secretly in his heart. He had never seen anyone so enthusiastic about lending money. The people's hearts could be used.
Qin Sheng asked Lu Songli, "Lili, will things really turn out as you imagined?"
"Yeah." Lu Songli hummed.
Xue Xu, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Sixth Master, we're all here now. We'll soon find out whether things are really as the governor predicted."
As soon as the Si hour arrived, several senior executives who were to preside over the meeting appeared, including Lu Desheng, Wu Ren and Ji Ran.
Wu Ren stepped forward and, after a brief opening statement, he got straight to the point, "I'm calling you all together this time to raise funds."
"During this fundraising, we in Pingzhou will launch three Pingzhou bonds."
Someone asked, "Manager Wu, what is the Pingzhou public debt?"
Wu Ren replied, "The so-called Pingzhou public debt is a debt relationship in which Governor Lu Songli raised funds from the public based on the credit of Pingzhou."
"These three Pingzhou bonds are one-year, two-year, and three-year."
"A one-year bond means you pay money to subscribe to a certain amount of bonds. After one year, when it matures, you can go to the Pingzhou Bank with the bond certificate to get back your principal and the agreed-upon interest."
"The same is true for two-year and three-year bonds, except that the interest on two-year and three-year bonds will be higher than that on one-year bonds."
The people below asked again, "Manager Wu, can you tell me the total amount of the three Pingzhou bonds this time?"
Wu Ren replied, "These three Pingzhou bonds issued a total of 200 million yuan."
Two hundred million yuan!
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
Because Pingzhou Baochao is still very valuable, comparable to gold.
This time, as the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Wu Ren raised a large amount of funds on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.
Wu Ren ignored everyone's shock at hearing about the 200 million yuan fundraising and continued, "The interest rates and subscription conditions for these three Pingzhou bonds are all on this piece of paper. You can take a look."
At Wu Ren's signal, two rows of neatly dressed waiters distributed the papers in their hands one by one.
After Wu Ren and everyone had received the instructions for the Pingzhou bonds, he continued, "Pingzhou bonds are now available for purchase. They can be processed at the counters on both sides. Everyone can purchase them after careful consideration."
After saying that, he sat down.
This time, Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and other heads of major families sitting in the front row did not move.
Gao Mei was the first to stand up and walk towards the counter. As a loyal supporter of the governor, she would of course support the governor's decision with real money.
Next came Qin Jia. This time, Qin Jia also came. She came on behalf of the Qin family and held the funds that the Qin family wanted to invest.
Then came Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others...
They are all celebrities in Pingzhou. Once they move, others will follow suit.
Coincidentally, when Lan Bingcheng and Geng Yuan went to subscribe for bonds, they happened to be at the same counter, one in front and one behind.
Lan Bingcheng was in front. When he was filling in the subscription amount, Geng Yuan stepped forward and looked over.
Lan Bingcheng quickly pressed down the amount he had just written down, turned around and glared at him, "Go away, do you still have any basic respect? Is this something you can handle?"
"I saw it." Geng Yuan smiled, "Why did you subscribe to so much?" Based on his understanding of Lan Bingcheng, he didn't have that much money to embezzle.
Lan Bingcheng ignored him. Could he say that he had used up all the betrothal gifts for his son's marriage?
Lan Bing admitted that after the purchase, he stepped aside, but he did not leave.
Geng Yuan stepped forward and glanced at him, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"I won't leave. You just saw mine, and I want to see yours too."
Geng Yuan was speechless, then he ignored him and started to go through the subscription procedures.
Lan Bingcheng also stretched his neck to take a look at the amount filled in on his order and said, "You've subscribed to quite a lot."
Geng Yuan remained silent. He had already used up his daughter's dowry, so how could he possibly spend less? However, he had already promised his in-laws that the portion of the dowry he used, along with any proceeds, would belong to his daughter. This was a rare opportunity.
While others were busy subscribing to Pingzhou bonds, Pei Ruowang, as a representative, stepped forward and spoke to Wu Ren, "Manager Wu, we would like to talk to the governor, is that okay?"
Wu Ren didn't seem surprised. He stood up and nodded, "Everyone, please follow me to the third floor."
Third floor?
Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and other heads of major families looked at each other in confusion. The governor is currently on the third floor?
Before they could react much, Wu Ren walked in front.
They had no choice but to follow, but Pei Ruowang and the others were not entirely at peace. The governor was actually on the third floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building. In other words, had their actions been within the governor's expectations?
As they moved and acted, many people noticed.
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts.
There's no way. Anyone who can come in here today is smart, no one is stupid.
