1. The first stock exchange in the world: AEX Amsterdam Stock Exchange) 1609 was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, becoming the first stock exchange in the world history. The Bank of Amsterdam was also born in this year, about 100 years earlier than the Bank of England.
2. The first joint-stock company that can be listed and traded is the Dutch East India United Company. 1602 the Dutch joint east India company was established, which is the first joint-stock company in the world. By financing the whole society, the East India Company successfully transformed the scattered wealth of society into its own capital for external expansion.
The purpose of establishing the East India Company is to send merchant ships to Nanyang in exchange for goods that were not available in Europe at that time, such as porcelain, spices and textiles. These goods could be sold at a high price in Europe at that time, but no one could provide huge funds for the fleet to prepare for sailing and trade alone, so people raised the necessary funds by issuing stocks. For those who buy the shares of the East India Company, the profits can be paid in the form of gold, currency or payment, or directly by spices. Because the goods trafficked back by the fleet may be more valuable year by year, and they have considerable profits, people actively buy a large number of shares of the East India Company. The first stock exchange and the first stock in the world thus began their historical mission.
