It would have been fine if Chen Shou had faked his own death and escaped, but he actually set fire to the house!

If the rescue had not been timely, who knows how many people would have been burned to death!

It's worse than a beast!

It’s a pity that Chen Shou escaped and his whereabouts are unknown now, otherwise he would have cut that man into pieces to relieve his hatred!

Seeing his grim expression, the princess stood aside quietly, not disturbing him. After he calmed down, she took out the name she had chosen yesterday and asked Emperor Taihe to give it to him.

Emperor Taihe was delighted and wrote a piece of calligraphy as the future signboard of Taiping Coal Mine Company.

Not only that, he also waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about the plaque. I have someone make it and send it to you."

The princess was even happier now. She asked Emperor Taihe to write another vertical word "Taiping". After thanking him, she couldn't wait to leave the palace and prepare to hold a meeting with future shareholders.

Ever since coal was dug out of the ground, many royal relatives and officials’ wives have come to pay their respects and want to buy shares.

Although she did not agree directly, she did not refuse directly either. She only told them the minimum investment amount, let them consider it themselves, and then sent them back.

Now that everything is almost ready, it's time for her to meet these people and see how much money they are willing to give.

In order to save time, the eldest princess sent someone directly to notify the female relatives who had come to see her before.

Those who want to buy shares can come directly to the Princess's Mansion to discuss. If they change their minds, they don't need to come.

Finally, everyone came.

These people dared to approach the eldest princess directly, so they must be of high status.

The eldest princess had previously told them that each share would be paid one thousand taels. Although the amount was not small, these people could afford it.

After everyone arrived, the eldest princess explained the recruitment requirements, employee benefits, including the canteen and dormitory matters, and asked these people to consider whether they still wanted to buy shares.

She reminded him, “I didn’t open this company to make money, but just to benefit the people, so the net profit is likely not high.

So you have to think carefully. Don't invest money now and then complain that the income is too little or even lose money in the future.

If something happens to the miners, the company will provide them with compensation and ensure they have enough food to eat every day.

If you are reluctant to part with this money, it is better to stop now to avoid regrets in the future."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

However, I still chose to pay money to buy shares.

The princess looked at the silver they took out and began to think: As expected, most people are still unwilling to invest more. But this is also good, if they invest more, won't they get a bargain for nothing?

While the princess was looking for someone to hold a meeting, Xie Xiu and Jiang Er were not idle either.

Xie Xiu also held a meeting with the students in the Imperial College.

When the coal mine was first discovered, some students came to him and wanted to buy shares.

Many people also came to find Jiang Er, but Jiang Er later got a job in the Ministry of Works and never came to the Imperial College again, so these people had to come to Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu called them to a meeting this time also to discuss the issue of shareholding.

Like the eldest princess, he had announced the amount of one thousand taels per share long before so that the students would have time to consider it on their own.

If there is something you can’t afford, you can decide whether to just give up or pool money with your classmates and friends.

In this way, we can save face for these people and avoid embarrassment on the spot.

This time, Xie Xiu did not notify everyone one by one to attend the meeting. He just asked someone to spread the news. As for whether they still wanted him to invest in the company, he let these people choose for themselves.

As a result, quite a few people came to find me.

Some of them took money from their families, and some of them pooled money together, and all chose to invest a share.

However, these partners can only choose one person to become a shareholder and attend future shareholders' meetings.

The rest of the people cannot be counted as shareholders of Taiping Coal Mine Company and can only participate in the profit distribution within their small group.
