The year 1908 was a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, with a total of 366 days and 53 weeks. The year of the monkey in the lunar calendar had 355 days in total. 34 years ago.
The failure of the reform of 1898, the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the signing of the Xin Chou treaty had led to the Manchu Dynasty, which was already on the verge of collapse, reaching the last moment of its life.
On February 2nd, New Lunar New Year was published. It was a fortnightly magazine.
On February 2, the Qing court appointed Prince Chun Zaifeng as Minister of Military Affairs.
On February 11th, the inventor, Thomas Eden, was awarded the patent for the invention of the movie projector.
In the long river of history.
If nothing unexpected happened, in three years, the entire Huaxia would welcome a complete change, and the Manchu Dynasty would also enter its final decline.
However, this had nothing to do with the Jiang family of Jiangnan Province. The Jiang family, which was just a small landlord, was destined to be a wave that went with the flow in the storm of the times.
Jiangnan Province, Jiang family.
"Dad, listen to me and buy rubber immediately.”
"With the advancement of science and technology, the production technology of cars has become increasingly developed. The price of cars has also become less expensive with the improvement of production technology. At the same time, because cars have a good carrying function, both personal demand and corporate demand have increased significantly. The demand for rubber has soared, and it has become an indispensable industrial product at that time.”
"The supply of natural rubber is limited, and rubber trees take a long time to mature. It is impossible to obtain rubber in a short period of time. Moreover, the demand for rubber in the international market has increased rapidly, and the price of rubber will inevitably soar!”
In the huge distance, Jiang Qingyuan looked at his youngest son, who seemed to be only 11 or 12 years old, in a daze.
His thoughts were unable to react.
If it weren't for the fact that he heard these words from his son, Jiang Qingyuan would have thought that he had met those young people who had returned from studying abroad.
After all, no one would have imagined that such a clear understanding of the international situation and products would come from their youngest son.
"Little Chen, who taught you this?"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qingyuan still frowned and said,
At this moment, he could not help but worry. Was someone trying to use his son's mouth to lie to him?
After all, he did have some money now.
And it was a lot of money.
As the old man had just split up, his elder brother had inherited all the assets, and he had undoubtedly obtained some money.
It was about 5,000 silver coins.
This was definitely not a small number.
"Little Chen, tell me, did your aunt teach you?”
As if he had thought of something, Jiang Qingyuan became solemn again.
He knew what kind of personality his sister-in-law had.
This kind of thing might not be impossible.
"No, it's not. Dad, if you don't believe me, you can take a look. This is the increase in rubber in recent days.”
Jiang Xiaochen was speechless.
Fortunately, the assist came at this time.
"Just listen to your son. He's not wrong. Our precious son is very powerful!”
The crisp voice was pleasant to the ears. A beautiful middle-aged woman walked over and looked at Jiang Xiaochen with a smile.
"Qingxia, why are you messing around too? How can you buy the stock market so casually?”
Jiang Qingyuan frowned again. He did not expect his wife to start talking about it too.
"This isn't nonsense. Your son bought some before, and now it's almost 2,000 silver dollars.”
Lin Yulian said with a smile, then handed over a copy of the report and stock certificates.
Looking at the report, there was evidence.
As a businessman, Jiang Qingyuan calculated the price almost instantly. This made his eyes widen.
"You, you guys!"
"You bought it for 100 silver coins before?"
It was filled with disbelief and trembling.
As one of the few open-minded people in this era, he naturally understood some new things.
That was why he was so shocked after calculating.
"That's right, Father. If you join now, you still have a chance. It's 60 pence now, but I think he can raise it to 180 pence.”
Jiang Xiaochen said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Qingyuan's heart could not help but pound.
No matter what era it was, no one did not like money.
No one disliked profits.
Not to mention merchants.
When this kind of profit reached 300%, or even more, no one would be able to resist this temptation.
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Qingyuan's breathing quickened.
"I'm sure, Dad. I said before that the demand for rubber increased sharply, and it became an indispensable industrial product at that time. The supply of natural rubber is limited, and rubber trees take a long time to mature. It is impossible to obtain rubber in a short period of time. Moreover, the demand for rubber in the international market has increased sharply. What do you think will happen?”
Jiang Xiaochen repeated himself.
Of course, he didn't say anything deeper. There was no other way. After all, his father was only a person of this era. It was enough to say this.
At this moment, the Chinese merchants were still stuck in the supply relationship.
Jiang Xiaochen's words cut right into this.
Jiang Qingyuan's expression kept changing.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I know!"
"Let's go, we'll set off immediately!"
He spoke.
Then, he hurriedly picked up the banknotes and brought Jiang Xiaochen to the stock market.
As businessmen who dared to venture out in this era, they naturally did not lack the spirit of taking risks. Or rather, they were all gamblers.
He dared to bet everything on it.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyuan was undoubtedly like this.
