God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 394: The Convoy Enters Southern Territory

Although Viscount Roster had made up his mind, actually operating it still required time.

Moreover, in his understanding, this should be announced and executed at a pretty key time point.

If everyone felt his companies’ stock prices were undervalued and everyone was bullish, then suddenly splitting—wouldn’t the crisis that splitting might bring be much smaller? Instead, wouldn’t it quickly push prices even higher?

The only thing Viscount Roster was uncertain about was exactly how to split.

Should it be split so one share cost a few gold coins, or split so it only cost a few silver coins?

If you really could invest with just a few silver coins, then basically anyone with a Magic Net who had even a little bit of money would choose to invest. Maybe it would create a new miracle.

For a long time after that, Viscount Roster remained caught up in this dilemma.

Until the magic conductor convoy was approaching southern territory, he finally made up his mind—directly split one share into 100 shares!

This way, the entire Roster Territory Group Company had a full 400 million shares, with over 100 million shares circulating in the stock market.

And the price per share dropped from 30 gold coins to 0.3 gold coins.

Besides that, Southern Development Corporation did almost the same operation, also splitting 1 share into 100 shares.

As soon as this news came out.

It immediately caused a huge uproar.

"What kind of operation is this?"

"Doesn’t that mean the price per share dropped a hundred times? What about the people holding them?"

"Are you stupid? The number of shares holders have also increased a hundred times. It was worth however many gold coins before, it’s still worth that many now. It just went from holding 1 share to holding 100 shares. This is great news!"

"What’s so good about it?"

"Duh, originally one share was 30 gold coins. How many people could afford that? Some small noble territories only produce less than 100 gold coins a year. The money they have left over after a year isn’t enough to buy one share. Who could participate?"

"Besides people who bought it at the start and kept holding, probably only major nobles could participate in this kind of investment, right? Or big merchants, churches and stuff! But now? Everyone can afford it!"

"Got it. Originally I held 1 share. If I wanted to sell, I could only wait for rich people to buy. But now my 1 share became 100 shares. I can have thirty, fifty, a hundred people buy. Forget ordinary small nobles, even people with pretty good jobs can afford it!"

"..."

A lot of people weren’t actually adapted to this sudden change and even found it ridiculous. But News Bird Megan had already received orders.

When this announcement went out, News Bird Megan’s side—whether livestream news or regular article news—almost simultaneously started explaining this.

Besides that, those people hidden in public opinion started explaining deeply and simply to people around them from the audience’s perspective.

Through this method, people who originally had doubts were quickly smoothed over.

In fact, Roster Territory Group Company’s stock price actually started showing an upward trend again.

It quickly rose from 0.3 gold coins per share to 0.5 gold coins.

Don’t think it’s just the price per share increasing by 0.2 gold coins—you have to know the total number is really scary.

Circulating shares exceeded 100 million, total shares exceeded 400 million.

Market value directly reached 200 million gold coins!

200 million gold coins!

It directly made it the number one company by market value, far exceeding any other company.

To put it bluntly, this number already exceeded everyone’s imagination.

In the world of the past, such a number could never appear.

Only recently, with various countries crazily borrowing government bonds, did people have a bit of an idea.

Of course.

The reason it could rise so fiercely was also because everyone knew Roster Territory Group Company could hold onto such wealth!

The Church of Technology’s combat clerics had recently been performing even better outside the watch wall.

Almost all enemies appearing in their attack range would be completely wiped out with lightning speed.

What made people feel even more terrified was that when some people started guessing these combat clerics’ weapons couldn’t be unlimited, they discovered these combat clerics had already established huge self-charging arrays and Magic Power Networks to supply magic power.

And then, in the sky, some kind of special magic conductor appeared. They flew over the watch wall, came over the combat clerics, and dropped countless weapons down.

Finally, under the enhancement of runes, they landed safely on the ground and were received.

Everyone was shocked by this operation.

You could actually do that!

This way, as long as they methodically kept expanding outward and clearing, they couldn’t possibly lack weapons, equipment, and various supplies!

The already invincible tech combat legions suddenly became even more invincible.

Though precisely because they were too invincible and the war was pretty boring, the number of people watching their livestream battles with ice spirits also started dropping sharply, basically maintaining around one to two million people. Most people went back to how they were before.

There really wasn’t any suspense.

Mainly just watching for the excitement.

Not long after the stock split.

The magic conductor convoy officially entered southern territory.

As soon as they entered southern territory, people discovered everything seemed to have changed.

Compared to the western territory of the Kingdom of Dawn, southern territory’s atmosphere was obviously different.

Clean roads everywhere.

Sure, they were only four-lane or two-lane. Even roads leading to some small areas were just single lanes—if two cars met head-on, they’d need to let each other pass by the roadside. But still, clean roads were everywhere.

What shocked people even more was that everywhere along the road was a kind of golden crop.

About 2.5 meters tall!

Dense everywhere.

Like it was about to ripen.

The convoy leader smiled while filming the surrounding scenery and said with a laugh: "The legendary Golden Spike Grain really is amazing. Just don’t know if the yield can actually reach the 1,600 pounds we’re saying internally."

That simple sentence instantly caused an uproar.

"? Per acre?"

"What crop is Golden Spike Grain? 1,600 pounds, that’s way too ridiculous, right?"

"The wheat on my territory only produces about 300 pounds per acre. Wouldn’t this be five times the yield?"

"First time seeing a crop like this. It does look really dense though."

"Anyway, I don’t believe it. How could this world have a crop like this?!"

Most nobles of this era knew a bit about farming, or at least knew roughly how much grain and wealth they could collect per acre. The instant they heard the convoy leader’s words, everyone found it unbelievable!

How could there be a crop like this in this world?
