104 The Money Village of the Republic of China (2)
Walking on the street, those wearing uniforms are probably the miscellaneous workers of the printing factory, those wearing suits and tunics, most of them are reporters who go out to run the news, eleven or twelve, thirteen or fourteen-year-olds with tattered clothes and big bags, which are the terminal sellers of newspapers and newsboys. Lewen novel w-w.
There is a kind of person who wears a long shirt and does not wear a horse coat, has a calm and calm temperament, and walks with a pace, which is about the editor of a newspaper, or a freelance writer.
There is such a gentleman with a robe and no horse coat, staggering out of a small newspaper, bowing his head all the way and pondering, digging out some hot news releases.
Suddenly, I saw a few newsboys walking by the side of the road, shouting:
"Outside, outside, the tide of bankruptcy at the end of the year, the list of bankrupt textile factories this year is released!"
"Outside, outside, the difficulty of the year, debt-ridden, there is a run on the bank!"
The gentleman in a long gown reached into his sleeve, took out a silver dollar, shook his head again, put it in his sleeve, and paced to a grocery store.
Take a silver dollar and buy a pack of Hardman cigarettes.
Hardmen only needs six copper plates in a pack.
But it didn't matter, the grocery store was also in the business of exchanging huàn currency, and the grocery store owner squinted, took the silver dollar, did not raise his head, and still clicked to the side of the wooden plank, turned around and counted out a pile of copper plates for customers.
Don't think that he doesn't care, but by that little sound, he has already judged the authenticity of the color, and if the sound is dirty, he must ask the guest to change it.
The guests put a pile of copper plates in their sleeves, took cigarettes, and walked out the door, handing them all the way to the newsboys, collecting the newspapers, and cloaking them under their arms.
After studying dozens of newspapers and commenting on various recent popular news, a little spark finally flashed in my heart.
A young master of the Ling family who returned from studying abroad fell in love freely with a new-school female student. In advance, he was engaged to a young lady from a wealthy family, and in order to fall in love freely, he naturally had to resist the arranged marriage and dissolve the marriage.
The literati tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop. Frowning and thinking, this news is worth a lot of hype, combined with the factory bankruptcy and the run on the bank, maybe it can become a hot topic in the near future.
However. If this matter is hyped, it will have an impact on the business of the young master's family, but it doesn't matter, and he has no savings in that bank.
To do a good job in this news, it is not enough to just copy other newspapers, but also to send a few more reporters out to do a detailed investigation of the incident and get first-hand information.
There are more and more customers who come to the door in the bank.
The rumors in the newspapers have gradually risen under the hype of well-intentioned people.
From the beginning, these were unobtrusive.
There are a few things that really hurt Ling's Qianzhuang, the first is that a large number of textile factories that have been loaned out have gone bankrupt. The second is that the family partners withdrew their shares because of the failure of the marriage and the loss of face. Thirdly, the deposit of large customers will be settled at the end of the year. The yamen account is due.
The capital chain is really about to be broken.
The yamen account is a large source of deposits, which means that people who have public funds in their hands privately lend money to money banks and eat interest. The public funds of the yamen are deposited in the bank, and the monthly interest is taken as half a cent. The money was lent to the factory merchants at four monthly interest, and the benefits were so great that those who held the public money would use their brains on it.
The yamen accounts are huge sums of money, often saved for three to five months. The interest will be staggering.
The government of the Republic of China is a grass platform, and the supervision of the accounts is indeed not strict.
Of course, the yamen account is only a general term. Some people who have financial skills in large factories and big businesses often have to find ways to borrow, and this kind of big customers are doing two-handed trading, and they are most afraid of capital risks, and they are a little bit troubled. They are about to withdraw their investment, and this kind of person is often the most well-informed.
Shanghai Money Industry Association Square, the scene of the dismantling of the money industry peers.
The old shopkeeper of the Ling family stood on the thick wooden cash box with iron smacking circles, and made an impassioned speech to his peers:
"Seventy years ago, our Ling's money village of Dong Weng passed away, only orphans and widows in the family, decided to close the money village, but at that time, there were still a large number of Zhuang tickets in circulation, our owner announced the closure of the store, and rented a concierge nearby, did not collect deposits, only redeemed the banker's bills, eighteen years, waited for eighteen years, before the last Zhuang ticket was redeemed. The reputation of the Ling clan is made of iron and copper. ”
"Fifty years ago, the old lady of the Ling family grew up, the family was once again glorious and revived, and it was the proprietor of the Qianzhuang Silver Account who was present for decades, taking care of each other all the way through the wind and rain."
The old shopkeeper of Ling's money village choked in his voice, looked up at the sky, trying not to let the tears fall, and after a while, he continued to speak, listing the history of Ling's money village for decades.
However, his audience was cunning as a fox and as fierce as a hungry wolf, and a merchant who played with money, and jumped up and ran away at the sound of the wind. As soon as you smell the smell of flesh, you can fly over, showing your fangs.
Ling's Clan is coming to an end! Ling's Clan is coming to an end!
Everyone has their own judgment in their hearts.
In the winter of Shanghai, it was dark very early, and the head shop of Ling's Qianzhuang on the main road was busy with a day's work, and the big guys were silently packing up their things, and none of them left on time.
Qian Zhuang Xiangli, who was wearing a dress, was not very old, and cheered everyone up with a smile:
"It's okay, let's take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Ling clan really falls, with your means and skills, you can't eat there with a mouthful of food!"
Xiangli told a joke that was not very timely.
A few of the voices of the tent whimpered:
"Starting from an apprentice, many years of relationship, if it really goes out of business, people's hearts are flesh and blood, how can it not hurt!"
The other guys said something a little different:
"The rules of the past years, the festival at the end of the year, are all with additional rewards and double salaries, our hard work for a year, but also to have a good year, this is really going out of business, how can this big year be lived!"
Xiang Li's sharp eyes swept over the few guys who didn't talk about river crabs, and said more encouraging words:
"Although the old lady of the Ling family has gone, but several old men are honest and honest to guard the city, and there are more than a dozen young masters and Miss Sun, all of whom have gone abroad to study abroad and see the big market, the future trend, Qian Zhuang is to learn from the bank, the future of Ling's Qian Zhuang is far great!"
Xiangli said very well, the development of the money bank is big, that is, the bank. The descendants of the Ling family are also promising, however, for three or five days in a row, the newspapers of the Republic of China are a little too lacking in morality, and the Ling family is on the hot search of the news!
The young master of the family fell in love freely, arranged marriages and divorced, the family of the world exchange withdrew shares, the loan factory went bankrupt, the yamen account expired, and all kinds of things were poked out.
The overwhelming reports have come out, and this is unacceptable, and everyone in Shanghai knows about it.
Ling's Money Village is coming to an end! The Ling family, it's over! (To be continued.) )
