Chapter 748 Pingzhou Public Debt

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is going to hold a high-quality investor meeting!

The news spread like wildfire among the middle and upper class circles in Pingzhou.

Wealthy families who have cooperated with each other in the past, such as Lan Bingcheng and Geng Yuan, have nothing wrong with them and are high-quality collaborators. This time they all got invitations.

But within Pingzhou, not to mention the newly joined aristocratic 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 letter.

At the beginning, all the invitation letters prepared by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were distributed, but it was still not enough. It was difficult to get invitation letters.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had to print a second batch.

However, this second batch of invitations cost money, about 10,000 Pingzhou fixed notes each. Even so, this second batch of invitations were all bought.

No one who received the invitation was absent.

When the three days came, early in the morning, the first floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Building was bustling with people.

Such a lively scene made everyone who was invited look at each other, and as time went by, the smiles on everyone's faces became less and less.

When greeting each other, the attitude becomes more and more perfunctory.

Except for those who came together, everyone else looked at each other with murderous intent, even if the people looking at each other were acquaintances.

There was no way, there were too many people coming, and I was afraid that there would be too many monks but not enough meat, so we just fought with eyes, killing one would be one, and killing two would be a pair.

Geng Yuan came early with his son. When he saw Lan Bingcheng coming, he couldn't help but stabbed, "Old Geng, I heard that you took away all the money to buy the land? You don't want to buy the land either?"

Lan Bingcheng replied coolly, "Aren't you the same with each other? Those shops don't want to buy it? Have you already negotiated with Lao Yang? If you don't buy it, Lao Yang is confused."

Geng Yuan surrendered, "Okay, okay, we are evenly matched, let's not talk about the other."

On the third floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Qin Sheng accompanied Lu Songli, and Xue Xu, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others were also there.

Refreshments 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 someone so active in lending money out. People's support can be used.

Qin Sheng asked Lu Songli, "Lili, will things really be as you think?"

"Yeah." Lu Songli hummed.

Xue Xu on the side smiled and said, "Sixth Master, we are all here. Whether things are really as predicted by the governor, we will know soon."

When the time came, several high-level officials who presided over the meeting showed up, including Lu Desheng, Wu Ren and Ji Ran.

Wu Ren stepped forward, and after a brief opening statement, he went straight to the topic, "I am calling everyone together this time to raise funds from you."

“With this fund-raising, we in Pingzhou will launch three types of Pingzhou public bonds.”

Someone asked below, "Mr. Wu, what are Pingzhou public bonds?"

Wu Ren replied, "The so-called Pingzhou public debt is the debt relationship through which Governor Lu Songli raises funds from the public based on Pingzhou's credit."

"These three Pingzhou public bonds include one-year bonds, two-year bonds and three-year bonds."

"One-year bond means you pay to subscribe for a certain amount of bonds. When they mature in one year, you can go to Pingzhou Bank to get back your principal and the agreed interest with the bond certificate."

"The same is true for two-year bonds and three-year bonds, except that the interest on two-year bonds and three-year bonds will be higher than that on one-year bonds."

The person below asked again, "Mr. Wu, can you tell me the total amount of the three Pingzhou public bonds this time?"

Wu Ren replied, "These three Pingzhou public bonds have been issued for a total of 200 million yuan."

Two hundred million yuan!

When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath.

Because Pingzhou Baobao is still very valuable, comparable to gold.

This time, as the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Wu Ren raised a lot of funds on his behalf.

Wu Ren ignored everyone's shock after hearing that 200 million yuan had been raised, and continued, "The interest rates and subscription conditions for these three Pingzhou public bonds are 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.

Wu Ren waited until everyone got the instructions for Pingzhou Public Bonds before continuing, "Pingzhou Bonds can be purchased at the counters on both sides. Everyone can buy them by themselves after considering it carefully."

After saying that, he sat down.

This time, the heads of big families such as Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng and Liu Hongwen who were sitting in the front row did not move.

Gao Mei stood up first and walked towards the counter nearby. As a loyal supporter of the governor, of course she would support the governor's decision-making with real money.

Next came Qin Jia. This time Qin Jia came too. She came on behalf of the Qin family and held the funds that the Qin family wanted to invest.

Then there are Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others...

They are all celebrities in Pingzhou. When 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, and they were in tandem.

Lan Bingcheng was in front. While he was filling in the subscription amount, Geng Yuan stepped forward and looked over.

Lan Bingcheng quickly held down the amount he had just written down and turned to glare at him, "Go, go, do you still have basic respect? Is this what you can see?"

"I saw it." Geng Yuan smiled, "Why did you subscribe for so much?" Based on his understanding of Lan Chengcheng, he didn't have that much money to embezzle.

Lan Chengcheng ignored him. Can he say that he had used all the betrothal gift for his son's marriage?

Lan Bing admitted that he had finished shopping and stepped aside, but he did not leave.

Geng Yuan stepped forward and glanced at him, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"I won't leave. You looked at mine just now, and I want to look at yours too."

Geng Yuan was speechless, then stopped talking to him and started to go through the subscription procedures.

Lan Bingcheng also craned his neck to take a look at the amount filled in on his list, and said, "You subscribed for a lot."

Geng Yuan said nothing. He had already used his daughter's dowry, could he take less? However, he has already promised his in-laws that the part of the dowry and the proceeds will belong to his daughter. This is a rare opportunity.

While others were busy subscribing for Pingzhou public bonds, Pei Ruowang, as a representative, stepped forward to talk to Wu Ren, "Shopkeeper Wu, we want 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 wealthy family heads looked at each other in confusion. The governor is currently on the third floor?

Before they could react much, Wu Ren walked at the front.

They had no choice but to follow, but at this time Pei Ruowang and others were not very calm. Could the governor be on the third floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building? In other words, were their actions always expected by the governor?

As they moved and moved, many people noticed.

For a time, everyone had different thoughts.

There is no other way. All the people who came here today are smart people and no one is stupid.
