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, the entire Huaxia would welcome a complete change after three years. 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 Yuanhua 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 he hadn't heard these words from his son, Jiang Yuanhua would have thought that he had met those young people who had returned from studying abroad.
After all, no one would have imagined that the words that were so clear about the international situation, the understanding of the products, and the structure of the words would come from the mouth of his youngest son.
"Little Chen, who taught you this?”
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuanhua 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 auntie teach you?”
As if he thought of something, Jiang Yuanhua became solemn again.
He knew his sister-in-law's personality.
This kind of thing might not be impossible.
"No, that's not it. Dad, if you don't believe me, you can take a look. This is the increase in rubber in recent days.”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Fortunately, the assist came.
"Just listen to your son. He's right. Our precious son is very powerful!”
The crisp voice was pleasant to the ears as a beautiful middle-aged woman walked over and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Qingxia, why are you messing around too? How can you buy the stock market so casually?”
Jiang Yuanhua frowned again. He didn't expect his wife to also talk about it.
"This isn't nonsense. Your son bought some before, and now it's almost 2,000 silver dollars.”
Lin Qingxia smiled and handed over a copy of the stock certificate.
Looking at the report, there was evidence.
As a businessman, Jiang Yuanhua calculated the price almost instantly. This made his eyes widen involuntarily.
"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 Chen smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Yuanhua's heart started pounding uncontrollably.
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 Yuanhua's breathing became a little hurried.
"I'm sure, Dad. I said before that the demand for rubber soared, 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 Chen repeated his words.
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 in a supply relationship.
Jiang Chen's words cut right into this.
Jiang Yuanhua'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 quickly took the banknotes and brought Jiang Chen 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 he had.
Jiang Yuanhua was undoubtedly like this.
