Chapter 87 Economic frenzy
If Hong Jinyang didn't jump off the wall in a hurry that night, then with General Du's face-loving personality, most of them would have helped him cover up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info However, the development of events later was what Mu Junyan liked to see the most - General Du handed over the military power, and no one below dared to come out again, and the situation of the Dongguan army was very good.
A month later, the Dongguan army launched an attack on Minzhou.
In fact, before this, Minzhou had already suffered a crazy economic shock.
As the current helmsman of the Yun family, Yun Ziqian is very busy. A few days ago, foreigners once again engaged in dumping, using cheap cloth, alabaster, and some daily soap, fire, smoke, candles, and oil to impact the economic market in Minzhou. It's so cheap that the average person can afford it.
Those who have been wearing coarse cloth clothes, this time they have bought a lot of foreign cloth, hoarded foreign cloth is enough for a family to make clothes for a few years, and will not buy cloth again in the short term, even if your cloth is of good quality and exquisite, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not as cheap as foreign cloth.
And those women who have never smeared alabaster in their lives have also bought several bottles at one time and smeared with fragrant alabaster, and the yellow-faced woman has become white and beautiful in the eyes of men. Many families replaced kerosene lamps with high-end foreign candles, women took foreign soap for laundry, men smoked foreign cigarettes, and everyone no longer used flint fire sickles, but used convenient and trouble-free foreign fires.
The Yun family has also been hit hard by this economic wave, because the Yun family is engaged in the cloth business, and there is a lot of cloth backlog in the warehouse.
When the foreigners began to dump, others did not think that Yun Ziqian had stayed abroad and knew the economic trend of capitalism. Sensing the danger of a monstrous wave approaching him, he contacted his friend Dr. Smith to sell some of the cloth he had hoarded in the warehouse to foreigners, taking advantage of the fact that the dumping had just begun.
Unfortunately, Smith didn't know the consulate very well. And this matter is a combination of several countries to carve up the market in Minzhou, which has been planned for a long time, and will not change at all because of a certain person. In the end, although the foreigners promised to buy cloth from the Yun family, they were originally used to dump and impact the Minzhou market, so the price was very low. In the end, Yun Ziqian and the housekeeper Yun Fu discussed that this method would not work, and wanted to sell the fabrics in the Yun family's warehouse, in addition to making ready-to-wear clothes, to sell them to the mainland. However, because the foreign cloth in Minzhou is cheap, people from some surrounding places also rushed over to buy a lot.
The only benefit brought to the Yun family by this economic tide was that in order to seize the market in Minzhou and carve up the thirteen shop wharves, the foreigners re-injected a batch of funds into the Weilianggang wharf, so that the construction of the Weilianggang wharf, which was suspended due to the flood season, was resumed. And Yun Ziqian embezzled a small part of the funds to pay the workers' wages.
Taking advantage of this foreigner's dumping campaign, Yun Ziqian asked to see Jiang Shixun and analyzed the pros and cons to him. The foreigners are now selling things to the Chinese people at a very cheap and almost cost-effective price, which seems to be giving the Chinese people great benefits, but with their dumping, Minzhou's national enterprises will inevitably be crushed, and then Minzhou's economy will be paralyzed, and everyone can only rely on foreigners to survive, and when the foreigners will inevitably burst prices, causing inflation.
Jiang Shixun didn't know what inflation meant, but at this time, Jiang Lizhi helped Yun Ziqian say a word, and made a simple analogy with his father, saying: "It's like a piece of ocean can buy a lot of things now, but if the foreigners crush the economy of Minzhou, when the time comes, if we want to buy what they have, they will carry it to ten oceans, or even more." At that time, we could only buy a piece of straw paper for a piece of ocean. ”
Yun Ziqian didn't expect Jiang Lizhi to have such insight, the explanation of inflation is perfect, and it seems that he is not an embroidered pillow who doesn't know anything as rumored by the outside world.
However, Jiang Shixun was able to stay in Minzhou for such a long time, which was naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, his face was silent, as if he didn't know the severity of this economic crisis at all, and ordered someone to send Yun Ziqian out, but in fact, he also drove Yun Ziqian out in disguise. But when he went out, Jiang Lizhi suddenly made a lip shape to him, and he kept pondering on the way back, like the word "rest assured".
By the evening, the dumping campaign of the foreigners had intensified. Where have the directors of those Chinese chambers of commerce seen such a formation, they are all at a loss. At this time, Yun Ziqian stood up and put forward the slogan of "boycott foreign goods, resist dumping", and mobilized everyone to post advertisements extensively, but because he was too young, those old guys in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were all human spirits, who didn't know how to protect themselves at this time? Didn't listen to him at all. This kind of thing is half the effort, so Yun Dekai still has to do everything.
The old illness that Yun Dekai had suffered from days of meetings and running around had recurred, and his health deteriorated.
In the face of such days, Mrs. Yun often kneels in front of the Buddha statue for a long time.
Yun Ziqian faced such a big event alone, and he didn't even have anyone to discuss, so he could only send a telegram to Mu Junyao, who was far away in the mountain city. At Mu Junyao's suggestion, he went to the school to give a speech, encouraging the students to go home and lobby their parents to boycott foreign goods together, but the effect was not great, because no matter how good the rhetoric was, it could not compare with the benefits brought by the actual benefits.
However, a few days later, these radical ideas finally brewed into a wave of learning in colleges and universities, such as Minzhou University, Minzhou Jiaotong University, Minzhou University of Political Science and Law, and Guanghua Public University...... Almost all the university students in the Minzhou platoon took to the streets, holding up slogans and demonstrating.
Many private enterprises that have been affected by the economic shock have begun to suspend work and lay off employees, which in turn has led to large-scale workers' strikes.
This time, the dumping of foreigners was without warning, and no news came out. Minzhou finally set off its first huge tsunami under the ten-mile ocean field and singing and dancing, with a fiscal deficit and economic paralysis.
The bank door is crowded with people every day, but the pile of deposit tickets in their hands now has all turned into waste paper.
At this time, Mu Junyan's ten divisions quietly arrived at Min and launched the first attack on Minzhou. The Donglai people, who also had the idea of occupying Minzhou with him, also took advantage of the fire to rob at this time, and began to station troops in Minzhou in the name of protecting Minzhou and protecting the concession, and at the same time, with the help of Jiang Shixun's troops, they launched a desperate fight with the Dongguan army.
And the people of Minzhou are really in dire straits.
