On the east coast of February, Chen Jia, director of the Yanbu Railway Command, met the latest group of railway investors in the back garden of the office.

These investors and the financial power behind them are highly valued by Director Chen Jia and Chen, who is now raising funds for railway construction. Therefore, he specially contributed his treasured top tea and held a tea party in the backyard to communicate with everyone and contact each other. If the money is not enough in the future, I have to beg for alms with them.

There were more than ten investors attending the tea party, and the threshold was not low. The least one also bought a railway construction bond of 5,000 yuan, and the most representatives from the Almeida family purchased a ten-year bond of 50,000 yuan (the face rate is 4%). More than ten people injected about 250,000 yuan in total. Although it was still a drop in the bucket for the construction cost of the entire railway, it was already very good.

"...All investors have undoubtedly played a great positive and positive role in the railway industry on the East Coast. You have injected a lot of funds into the railway under construction through borrowing, buying bonds and buying Yanbu Railway stocks in the primary market. Here, I, Chen, must sincerely say thank you to everyone." Chen Jia said solemnly: "With your help, the construction progress of Yanbu Railway can continue to move forward and eventually continue to give back to everyone's investment. Here I want to mention solemnly that you can laugh it off and ignore it. I think anyone with a little strategic vision can see the importance of Yanbu Railway, and the country has set a decision early on.

The major policies of the Pampa Plain east of the Salt Bu Railway, how can you really let this railway be ignored in this situation? The Salt Bu Railway project lacks funds now, but the government's deployment has not been adjusted for a while. When the new tax system is fully launched across the country and various taxes are collected, the situation will definitely change a lot. At that time, you don't have to worry about your investment losing money, especially Mr. Nareshkin. You invest by buying stocks. I can guarantee that as long as you can continue to invest a certain amount of funds in the future, this investment will bring you extremely rich returns. Please believe me, your compatriot Mr. Goshkin can testify."

Mr. Nareshkin mentioned by Chen Jia, who is about in his early twenties, and his name is Oleg. Perhaps because he traveled across the ocean and then came to a very strange place, you should know that although the United Province is far away from Russia, it is still in Europe. It took him more than a year to arrive at the east coast. The young man seemed very reserved. At this time, he was holding the crocodile leather briefcase he had just bought in his hand, which was probably filled with registered stocks of the salt cloth railway. No wonder he was so nervous.

Seeing him so nervous, people smiled kindly. No one thinks that investing in the Yanbu Railway stock is a good business. These people may have confidence in the reputation of the East Coast government and are willing to buy some bonds or provide loans, but are you sure the Yanbu Railway can really make a profit? I'm afraid it may not be possible? The railways that can make profits on the East Coast are now, and one hand can count them. The Nanci Liangyang Railway, Qingmei Railway and Forest Railway. The rest of the railways are basically in losses. The Yanbu Railway will not be exceptional in the future, if they can be repaired.

Goshkin would sit next to the young man with a smile on his face, but he was actually quite opposed to Oleg Nareshkin's direct use of the huge sum of 30,000 rubles to buy shares of the Yanbu Railway. The reason was the same as others, and there was no hope of profit.

He is really worried now that if the Nareshkin family in Moscow knew that he could not help their young master to invest correctly, it would have an adverse impact on his business. You should know that although the Nareshkin family is now at a disadvantage in the political struggle and is suppressed very much by the Miroslavsky family. Old Nareshkin (the father-in-law of Tsar Feodor) was once expelled from Moscow, but they are old Russian aristocrats and their family background is still very solid. It is not difficult to deal with characters like him, such as Goshkin. Of course, considering that Goshkin is now from the East Coast, the identity of foreign Russians will more or less bring him some protection.

However, after taking the La Plata Star train, the little Nareshkin suddenly became very persistent and insisted on using all the money in hand to buy the shares of the Yanbu Railway. He even borrowed 5,000 rubles of cash from Goschkin and wrapped a large piece of land in the weeds near the Buenos Aires Railway Station. He planned to build a batch of commercial buildings in the future, specifically for selling Russian specialty goods.

Goshkin was a little surprised at Oleg's idea. He did not expect that the young man who came out of the backward place in Russia would dare to spend a lot of money to invest in commercial facilities in railway affiliation. There were only a few people doing this on the east coast, and it has been less and less since last year. Goshkin himself only bought a small piece of land here, intending to set up an office for the winery he invested in, so that he could sell red wine to the Pampa Plain in the future.

This is actually a normal business operation, but Oleg's current investment is too blind in his opinion. What is there at the Buenos Aires Railway Station? The Spanish livestock sheds, burdock fields and thick meadows are sparsely populated, and there is no value for investment, unless the East Coast government spends a lot of money to build infrastructure here and relocate personnel, but there is no hope in the short term. Goszkin is very sure of this.

However, Oleg Nareshkin insisted that he had nothing to say. Anyway, the money belongs to others, and it is not his business to lose. He has fulfilled his obligation to persuade him, but he doesn't listen. The Nareshkin family can still afford it. But Goshkin felt it was a pity. This money could have been better invested.

Speaking of Oleg, the Nareshkin family's investment in the East Coast was actually promoted by Kang Youdao, Ambassador of the East Coast to Moscow. This aggressive diplomatic practitioner took the initiative to contact and make political investments when the Nareshkin family was suppressed very much, because he saw that Tsar Fedor was in poor health and could die at any time. The other princes were either weak and sick, or had some IQ problems. Only Prince Peter was smart and healthy, and he was likely to directly inherit the Russian throne in the future, so he made a considerable political investment in the Nareshkin family.

After a while, the relationship between the two sides gradually became closer. Under the influence of Kang Youdao, the Tsar's father-in-law Nareshkin had the idea of ​​sending people to the east coast to invest to diversify risks. You should know that his old friend, Matviev, was also a political ally, had been exiled to Siberia by Miroslavsky. Their family's current life is very sad, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Therefore, sending young children of the family to invest overseas was originally sorted out. They had already sent people to London and Amsterdam to invest, and it is very common to send one person to the east coast. After all, the reputation of the east coast is getting louder and louder, and it has gradually become a new place for investment or learning.

So, under such a background, Oleg Nareshkin successfully transferred 30,000 rubles of funds through the banking system located in Arkhangelsk on the east coast and then invested on the east coast. This idea was originally excellent, but in Gosshkin's view, he did not choose a good investment target, which is a pity!

But now that things have come to this point, what else can I do? Goshkin has already planned it and persuaded him again in a few days to learn from the Murat Sheikh from the Ottoman Empire. That wise man, I don’t know which Ottoman powerhouse, invested in many industries on the east coast. In Goshkin’s opinion, those industries have great profit prospects. Although they may not make a big profit, they will not lose money. There is also a businessman who is said to be a Huguenot in France. I don’t know who ordered it to invest in the shareholders.

The well-known messenger liner company, although it has few shares, is also a promising industry, which is amazing. Of course, there are several merchants from Bruges and Antwerp, South Nederland. They also invested in the Yanbu Railway, but they are more reasonable and conservative. They purchased bonds issued by the Yanbu Railway Project Command. Speaking of which, the bond sales cannot be blamed entirely on others. The issuing entity seems to be just a temporary institution, but it also discourages many people. Although the iron company promises to guarantee it, who can tell this kind of thing correctly?

Speaking of this, we have to mention that from the source of funds of the Yanbu Railway, an interesting phenomenon is that more and more foreign capital is gradually entering the East Coast Republic of China and began to invest in industries approved by the East Coast government. These funds have a very obvious risk aversion nature, such as the Nareshkin family who encountered a political crisis, such as the Huguenots who were in a worse situation in France, such as the South Dutch merchants who were in danger of war at any time, such as the Honors who had a low domestic investment yield, and so on.

These foreign funds will definitely not be left to them. They can only invest in some projects that look less excellent, such as bonds from Yanbu Railway. The East Coast is also cautious and welcomes the entry of these capitals. As long as they do not disturb the market, do not cause excessive inflation, and do not involve sensitive industries or technologies, there will be no problem. And these safe-haven funds are encouraged to enter the East Coast, even if they deposit it on the East Coast bank, it is the most welcome. Of course, if these safe-haven funds purchase all kinds of goods needed on the East Coast in the old continent (including labor resources such as contract slaves) in the old continent and then transport them to the East Coast for funds, it will be even more welcome, and certain preferential measures will be given, such as tax exemptions, etc.

Okay, let's get back to the point. Chen Jia praised Little Nareshkin and solemnly talked about the future of Yanbu Railway. He said that the State Administration of Railways currently has an idea to package assets including Yanbu Railway, Nancone Liangyang Railway (after the transfer of the South Railway Company in the future) and the Patagonia Wool Transportation Special Line Railway that may be built in the future. They even thought of the name, called America Railway Company, which is the second railway operating company under the State Administration of Railways (the major shareholder of Nanbu Railway is the Ministry of Army, not the State Administration of Railways). Amtrak and Railway, the two railway companies compete with each other. This is actually what the Executive Committee officials are willing to see. In the long run, it is also a good thing for the East Coast Railway Transportation Industry.

At this time, Chen Jia mentioned the matter of the American Railway Company, which suddenly made the investors who were originally a little lazy straighten up. Foreign investors including Goshkin, Rodriguez, Almeida, Doria and other foreign investors were surprised by the sudden news and were also very excited, because if an American Railway Company was really established, it actually means that the Yanbu Railway, as the main asset of this state-owned enterprise, is likely to not lose its fortune. The East Coast government has gritted its teeth and insisted that it should also complete the railway and

The official operation should be a major benefit for all the investors here. They believe that when the news of the official establishment of this company is made public, the enthusiasm of the outside world for the Yanbu Railway should rebound a lot. At that time, it is generally unlikely to invest in stocks at a discounted price, buy bonds at a discounted price, and provide loans at relatively high interest rates. Therefore, in general, they are fighting for this vote correctly. There is no need to worry about losing bonds and loans. As for whether the stock is worth investing, we need to see again.

Goshkin was also a little surprised by the news because his partners had not told him about this, which means they had not had time to get the news. But no matter what, once this company was officially established, the situation of Yanbu Railway was in a mess, and the investment prospects of the railway would also rise rapidly. In this way, the country is really a matter of saying that it is necessary to focus on developing the Pampa Plain. Goshkin was a little suspicious before, but now it seems that it is not a joke.
