Chapter 352 Someone Has Their Eye on Xie Xiu's Shares
Fireworks were not only set off in the palace. Emperor Taihe also issued a special order for fireworks to be set off in more than ten places in the capital, including the city gate tower.
Let all the people in the capital see this grand sight.
Then, everyone saw the four words "Peace in the World" shining on the dark sky, and their hearts were excited.
"Oh my god, there are words!"
“These fireworks are so beautiful!”
"I heard that His Majesty lit these fireworks specially for us. His Majesty is truly wise!"
The people stood in their yards, pointing at the fireworks in the sky and talking about it.
In the Wang family's shabby and narrow courtyard, Wang Ada and his wife Li Xiuer, who had just finished their New Year's Eve dinner, were also watching the fireworks in the sky.
Li Xiuer burst into tears and tightly grasped Wang Ada's hand: "Brother Wang, are we dreaming?"
Wang Ada took a deep breath, smelling the aroma of meat in the air, and said with certainty: "I'm not dreaming, we have meat at home."
When Li Xiuer heard it, she couldn't help but smell it as well.
Yes, they have meat at home now, and the aroma of meat is everywhere.
"Brother Wang, our family is living a really good life now."
They now have meat to eat and are not afraid of the cold in winter because they have honeycomb coal to keep warm.
Peace is so nice.
It would be great if there could be peace in the world.
Wang Ada ate particularly full tonight. As he watched all the fireworks in the sky disappear and no new fireworks appeared, he couldn't help but think of something else.
"Xiuniang, let's go inside. It's too cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."
He pulled his wife into the house, carefully closed the door, then carried his wife to the inner room.
"We are living a good life now, and it's time to have a son."
Li Xiuer blushed instantly, but did not resist. She was just a little worried that she would not be able to get pregnant.
She had suffered two miscarriages before, which damaged her body and made it difficult for her to get pregnant.
But soon, she no longer had the heart to think about it.
At the same time, the coal merchants in the capital were gnashing their teeth in anger.
So treacherous!
unacceptable!
Those four words are definitely related to Taiping Coal Mine Company!
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Are you bullying them because they can't make fireworks with words on them?
They will find someone to study it tomorrow!
The shareholders of Taiping Coal Mine Company were all overjoyed and smiling from ear to ear!
They have already received this year's dividends and will receive more starting next year.
This investment is really worth it!
Thinking of the huge profits, many people even considered increasing their shareholding.
Unfortunately, the number of shares held by each shareholder has already been determined. It is impossible to invest one thousand taels of silver to own one share as before.
If shareholders want to get more shares, they can only spend money to buy them from other shareholders.
But Taiping Coal Mine is now the goose that lays golden eggs. Who would be willing to sell their shares?
What's more, most of the shareholders of Taiping Coal Mine are either rich or noble, and are not easy to mess with.
Some people started to target Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu apparently owns a large number of shares, but his status is only that of a juren, and he has severed ties with his biological father.
It's simply a big fat sheep that is very easy to slaughter.
He alone holds so many shares, so even if he sells them, the loss will not be big for him.
Xie Xiu couldn't be so heartless as to turn against them just for that little bit of shares, right?
As soon as I mentioned this idea to my family, they sternly suppressed it.
"No! Xie Xiu absolutely cannot! We would rather not buy shares than threaten Xie Xiu!
Have you forgotten the fate of Xie Yun and Chen Fang? Chen Fang died tragically in prison, and Xie Yun was tattooed and exiled.
Even Xie Xiu's brother, who was born of the same mother and had distanced himself from him, suffered as a result!
How many lives do you have? Do you want to offend Xie Xiu? Have you forgotten that his youngest daughter is a lucky star?
His eldest son was the little prince's study partner. He went to the palace every day and studied with the little prince.
Aren't you afraid that he will complain to the young prince and the young prince?"
Therefore, those who targeted Xie Xiu had to change their minds, from intimidation at the beginning to appeasement.
We can't force Xie Xiu to sell his shares, but it's okay to tempt him with benefits, right?
So on the second day of the New Year, they asked the younger generation in the family to contact Xie Xiu and persuade him to sell some shares.
When Xie Xiu met these people, he was polite.
However, when they asked about selling shares, Xie Xiu had only one sentence: "Sorry, I don't have any plans to do so at the moment."
Just when they wanted to change their approach and continue persuading, they received warnings directly from the eldest princess and Jiang Er.
They threatened that if they dared to have any bad intentions again, they would buy back their shares at the original price.
This was the contract they signed when they first acquired the shares.
No shareholder may force the mine owner to sell shares, otherwise the company has the right to buy back the shares at the original price.
Although these people did not think that they were forcing Xie Xiu, since the eldest princess and Jiang Er had spoken, how could they dare to continue looking for Xie Xiu?
He could only ask the women in the family to go to the Princess and Concubine Jiang to plead for mercy.
If they don’t appease these two big Buddhas, how would they dare to attack Xie Xiu next?
In the eldest princess's mansion.
The eldest princess played with the glass Ruyi in her hand, without even looking at the other women present. She just said with a half-smile, "The book says that the highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending.
You have already made a lot of money, so why are you greedy and want more?
I also have quite a few shares in my hands. Do you want to take them too?
If Xie Xiu hadn't bought the Chen family's land in the first place with the intention of growing herbs, but was maliciously spread with rumors, many people would have gone out to dig for treasure.
The coal will remain buried in the ground forever, and no one knows when it will be discovered.
As a person, you should not forget your roots, and you should not be greedy. Don’t you agree?
I think you are all good people and I want us to get rich together, so I gave you the opportunity to invest.
But now you have set your sights on the shares in Xie Xiu's hands, and even come to me to complain.
What do you want to do? Are you trying to force me to be ungrateful and help you bully Xie Xiu, a man who was so filial to his mother because of her tragic death?
How could the women sit still?
