The shares planned to be issued by 'Mondesny Co., Ltd.' were all subscribed within a week, and the stock price increased from 1 dinar per share to 10 dinar per share. However, after the subscription ended, there were still nobles waving their wallets to buy!
If Li Ang hadn't already told them to close the subscription as soon as it was done, maybe the executives who were immersed in the pleasure of counting money couldn't help but make another fortune...
The businessmen of Long River Town were even more enthusiastic. They even followed Lesley all the way to Wheat Fragrance Territory, crying and shouting that they must 'learn advanced experience'!
--They don't want to join the gold mining project, but they want to have a deep understanding of this company's fundraising system. These businessmen know that gold mines are something that ordinary people cannot get involved in.
Long River Town businessmen are indeed more sensitive to new corporate behaviors, and they are more aware than those nobles of what the subscription operation of this joint-stock company means.
They want to learn.
But Baron Godric couldn't talk to them - established nobles generally wouldn't talk to civilian businessmen.
So all those businessmen gathered around Lesley. After all, Lesley also did business with Long River Town before, so he was considered an acquaintance of them.
Now that Lesley has transformed into a "listed company General Manager", and is handling high-end projects such as gold mines, businessmen are naturally envious and jealous. They have been trying to find out how to operate it, but they can't get rid of it.
Lesley is very tired from being harassed. These businessmen refuse to leave, and this scam cannot be exposed casually...
Besides, she only listened to 4 hours of private lessons in the lord's tent... Even if she could be exposed, she actually didn't have the ability to teach these businessmen.
And she was busy counting money and had no time.
So Lesley said very politely, "I'm just a professional manager who obeys the boss's orders. I don't know anything else. The legal person of our company is Kloze. Why don't you go find Kloze and ask?"
Lesley doesn't tell lies - Company General Manager usually doesn't tell lies outside.
But those businessmen dare not deal with Kloze, who has a face as fierce as an ox - that guy has a bad temper at first glance, and his arms are thicker than his own waist. If he gets angry...
Businessmen are really keen. Based on their understanding of Lesley, it is indeed unlikely that this Coconut Wine businessman can figure this out.
Since this listed company is located in Wheat Fragrance Territory, the businessmen decided to settle for the next best thing.
"Miss Lesley, we know that we can't get involved in things like gold mines. We just want to meet the lord behind you. Maybe we can cooperate in other business areas. Can you make an introduction... Or you can take us to Wheat Fragrance Territory to visit and learn..."
Lesley was of course non-committal, and the lord did not specifically explain how to deal with the merchants who came to his door...
But as a qualified businessman himself, Lesley naturally knows that a large number of caravans going to Wheat Fragrance Territory will definitely be beneficial to the territory - at least all the loot can be sold...
Therefore, Lesley said happily, "Everyone was a colleague of Long River Town, so naturally we should support each other. Although I, Lesley, am a low-key person, I am willing to do my best to introduce you to everyone... But the lord is very busy, and I am not sure whether you can get satisfactory results..."
For businessmen, this is enough.
So a large number of businessmen came to Wheat Fragrance Territory with Lesley...
Businessmen are always like this. Once a lot of big businessmen go to a certain place for "inspection and study", other businessmen will follow - this is true no matter what era or where.
As a result, most of the Long River Town businessmen followed, and the vast inspection team looked like an army.
What prompted Godric to end the fundraising and rush back to Wheat Fragrance Territory was actually not just the completion of the subscription of shares, but also another news.
"Li Ang, His Majesty the King declared war on the Bacchus Empire. Get ready for war!"
Although he returned home with a full load, Godric still had some caution on his smile.
Declare war?
War with the Bacchus Empire?
"Ha! This is a good thing! Lord Godric, this is simply an explanation delivered to your door!"
Li Ang couldn't help but look at the wooden statue again.
Godric also saw the statue of Eunomia. Of course he understood what this 'explanation' meant. "It seems that Goddess is protecting you... but you also have to go to war-this time the marshal is His Majesty the King himself."
There's going to be a war.
This is not a surprise.
After all, Godric mentioned it before in White Deer Fortress.
Maybe Baron White Deer Fortress's judgment relies on experience, but Li Ang can also understand the reason why King Ulrich declared war from a logical level...
Lionheart Kingdom has just formed an alliance with Fieltzwe, and the west is safe for the time being;
Gatu people has just withdrawn from the army. It is estimated that he will not come to the Lionheart Kingdom again this year. The Northeast is probably quite safe;
Raven Kingdom needs to comprehensively deal with Misty Mountain Savages who may invade in winter. If we can't spare any effort, the north is safe;
In other words, the kingdom's rear is basically stable.
In addition, the harvest had just been harvested in the autumn, and the lords had just collected taxes, so there was no shortage of money and rations, and the military rations were sufficient.
This is of course the most suitable time to attack south - the winter in the southern continent is not too cold, but the summer is unbearably hot.
So go south in winter and north in summer. This is the correct strategy for the Lionheart Kingdom located in the center of the continent.
As an aspiring Pioneer Baron, Li Ang naturally wants to join His Majesty the King's group army.
But before preparing for war, the lord needs to reasonably distribute the results of this 'financing' - referred to as dividing the spoils.
The executives' trip to Long River Town was very impressive.
The listing of Mondesny Company's shares brought back 120,000 dinars to the lord...
Lesley It took ten large boxes to pack them all, and they were divided into two carriages to pull them-otherwise they would easily overturn.
According to the shares agreed in advance, plus a 10% "financing commission", Li Ang handed over two of the boxes to Baron Godric.
However, after sending the partner away with satisfaction, the lord felt that something was wrong.
He hugged the box again - now he was sure that the weight of the box didn't seem to be enough...
Logically speaking, such a box with twelve thousand gold coins should weigh almost one hundred pounds, but he always felt that it was less than eighty pounds!
So all the golden coins were poured out, covering Li Ang's bedroom.
The lord decided to test the quality.
After the ground was filled with gold, the lord saw the difference.
The gold coins are indeed gold coins, and the sizes look the same, but the thick ones are thicker and the thin ones are thin - the thinnest ones are almost no different from razors, and you worry about scratching your fingers even if you fiddle with them!
It seems Pande Continent there are quite a few 'engraving artists' who dig gold out of gold coins...
