Han Peacock couldn't see it, so he simply didn't leave, just to see the excitement.
As soon as Bai Xiaoyi heard this mean voice, he immediately began to have a headache.
When Yue Muling heard this, he became angry: "Luo Mingming, are you idle and have nothing to do?" What does it matter to you whether we pay rent or not? ”
At this time, a professional woman in a white shirt and black skirt with high heels appeared behind Roshan, this must be Luo Mingming.
Luo Mingming looked at Yue Muling and sneered, "What? If you don't have any money, move out, and if you don't want to live on the streets, let go of your high school and find a way to make money. ”
"We just want to make money, and we won't go to your insurance company, your conscience is black? Those who change the law let people buy some useless insurance, and those who lose their conscience will be punished one day. Yue Lingshan said with a fiery temper.
"Okay, don't say it, Brother Ma, please come in and speak, Luo Mingming, there's nothing for you here, you better leave! We won't pimp your insurance company, so please don't bother us in the future. Bai Xiao also said to Luo Mingming angrily.
Han Peacock saw that the excitement was gone, so he wanted to leave. As soon as he walked around the Roshan, he was grabbed by a small soft hand.
Han Peacock turned his head to look, but it was Bai Xiaoyi: "What?" Anything else? ”
"Boss Han, can you wait a while, you also saw our strength just now, maybe you forgot to let us do something, why don't you think about it again." Bai Xiao also said with a pleading face.
"Anything else I want you to help with? No, you're an information consulting company, so you can't do anything other than provide me with some information, right? Han Peacock looked at Bai Xiaoyi with amusement.
Bai Xiao also had no choice, they came out of school to start their own businesses. At that time, the plan was very good. And it doesn't cost much to do information consulting, but they don't have a foundation, so even if they are capable, there is not much business to come to.
And so it goes down for a year. Rent, utilities, office expenses, etc. Miscellaneous add up. They have exhausted their worst savings, and now they can only barely support themselves.
Being chased by the homeowner today is already a dead end. Fortunately, Han Peacock came today, allowing them to earn a fortune, which also made them see hope and hope to support it.
"Do you have anything else that you need to take care of? You can leave it to us to do it, if you don't say it, how do you know that we can't do it? You just saw what we're capable of. ”
Bai Xiaoyi didn't seem to hear Han Peacock's refusal, but directly listened to the news he wanted to hear, Han Peacock really wanted to find someone to help! Thanks to God and the Queen Mother, Bai Xiaoyi prayed to the gods and Buddhas while pulling Han Peacock.
"I need someone to help me with the information you provided, and you can do that too?" Han Peacock looked at the beautiful woman pulling him funny.
Bai Xiaoyi said: "If you can do it, won't you just process the information?" Yue Muling, your work is here, you will do whatever Boss Han tells you to do, be obedient, and wait for the eldest sister to buy you delicious food in the evening. ”
"Eldest sister, what are you asking me to do? Also be obedient. Yue Muling said with an unhappy face.
"The dead girl is not happy, I don't know how to grasp it if you have a chance to contact the big boss, don't mind Boss Han, this girl is smart and obedient, she will do whatever you ask her to do." Bai Xiao also said with a dog's face.
Han Peacock was directly speechless, looking at Yue Muling, who was full of reluctance, and Han Peacock's arm was still being pulled by Bai Xiaoyi, he could only reluctantly walk into the gossip company again.
And Luo Mingming, who was outside the door, was full of disbelief: "You guys are planning to sell yourself?" It's really cheap, let you be an insurance broker, it's like pulling your skin, and now you are doing such a shameless thing. ”
"Do we want you to take care of it? Selling yourself is also based on your ability to eat, we don't want to lie to people with you, you better go where it is cool, and now we don't have time to deal with you. After Bai Xiao handed over Han Peacock to Yue Muling, he turned around and directly pushed Luo Mingming out of the city, and closed the door of the company.
"Brother Ma, wait a minute, we have a big business here that is about to be negotiated, and after the negotiation, we will have money to give you rent, don't worry, this gentleman has already given a deposit just now, and the deposit alone is fifteen thousand, which is enough for your rent." Bai Xiao also finished dealing with the foreign enemy and immediately began to deal with Naroushan.
"Big business?" Ma Roshan has been dazzled by Bai Xiaoyi's actions.
Bai Xiaoyi looked at Han Peacock with bright eyes and said, "Yes, big business, Yue Muling, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Don't hurry up to serve Mr. Han. ”
Han Peacock was helpless: "Miss Yue, you should be clear about the information you gave me just now, then you look at these information, through these, you can analyze for me where these ships are most likely to sink." ”
Waiting for Yue Muling to start looking through the information, Han Peacock said again: "From these materials, you find out the missing ships in the records of Japanese merchant ships that departed from Qin and Huangdao from 1934 to 1936, and combine the meteorological and water pattern data of the past two years to find the locations where these wrecks may have sunk, of course, as long as there is a general inference." ”
It's just such a simple piece of information, Han Peacock didn't let Yue Muling deduce accurate information, if the location of a sunken ship can be roughly determined, then it will be carefully verified.
However, at this time, there is a target, and then you can search for all the information about the wreck in detail, and the more information you get, the more information that can be inferred, the more accurate the information that can be inferred.
"This is" Yue Muling looked at Han Peacock with strange eyes.
"What? What is it? Can't you do it? As soon as Bai Xiaoyi saw Yue Muling's expression, she became nervous. If the business doesn't last long, they really won't have the money to pay the rent.
Yue Muling looked at Han Peacock strangely and said, "Mr. Han wants to hunt for treasures?" But don't you think it's a needle in a haystack? ”
Han Peacock said with a smile: "With the record of the shipwreck, it means that these ships have indeed sunk, and no trace of them has been found until now, which gives me the opportunity to analyze some valuable information in combination with the weather conditions at that time, and then compare the current conditions on the ship's route." ”
"It's a good idea, but the information you provide is incomplete, so it's too difficult to analyze. And the results of the analysis will not be too accurate. Even if it is correct, and the wrecks are salvaged at the expense of time and money, there is no guarantee that these wrecks are valuable. Yue Muling quickly analyzed the loopholes in Han Peacock's plan.
Han Peacock was not unhappy when he heard this, but was a little excited: "It seems that you are really good at analysis." I asked you to do things. Naturally, I have a point. You first analyze these ships, which one can be locked by you to the general sinking position. ”
Yue Muling thought for a while and said, "The information is incomplete, you should at least provide the approximate sinking time of these ships." The destination at that time, the route often taken, so that according to the weather conditions and sea conditions at that time, it is possible to analyze the location where it may sink. ”
Han Peacock smiled and didn't say anything more, if he got all the information he needed, he still needed Yue Muling to analyze it?
Whose data is analyzed like that?
Bai Xiaoyi also saw the information provided by Han Peacock at this time: "This is the ship that was smuggled through the ports there when Japan occupied Qin and Huangdao during World War II?" ”
Yue Muling said: "By the way, three or four to three or six years, these two years should be the period of the American Silver Act, and the ships shipped to the United States during this period should be smuggling silver." ”
In November 1932, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt came to power and began to save the US economy with a "New Deal", one of which was to raise the price of silver.
By June 1934, when all countries in the world were struggling with the economic crisis, the United States passed a "Silver Purchase Act" to promote the appreciation of silver, thereby severely damaging the Chinese economy on the other side of the ocean, pushing China to the brink of collapse.
In May 1933, the U.S. Congress passed the Agricultural Relief Amendment Act, which stipulated that the president had the power to dispose of silver, and in December, the United States began to buy new domestic silver, and in June of the following year, the "Silver Purchase Act" was passed to purchase silver widely in the domestic and foreign markets.
As a result, the price of silver in the world rose sharply, and the market price of silver in New York rose from 4 jiao 5 cents per ounce in June 1934 to 5 jiao 4 cents in December, and then to 7 jiao 4 cents the following year!
The most direct impact of the "Silver Purchase Act" on China's economy was the outflow of silver, because of the cheap silver in China, Chinese and foreign merchants shipped large quantities of silver dollars to London and New York to sell them for huge profits.
The governments of Nan and Beijing panicked and issued various measures to restrict the outflow of silver, but they could not stop it at all.
China was a semi-colony, and silver was mainly in the hands of foreign banks, and the Nationalist government was powerless to interfere.
From 1934 to 1936, China lost about 64,531 ounces of silver, or about 1.29 billion yuan.
The Japanese government even took advantage of the fire to loot and smuggle a large amount of silver out of the country, transporting 144 million taels of silver in the first nine months of 1935 alone.
In the words of the U.S. State Department, "we drained China's money."
Many banks had to liquidate or fail because of the silver run.
When the silver trend passed, from the Chinese side, it was forced to abandon the silver standard that had been used for nearly 400 years since the Ming Dynasty, and implement the "fiat currency reform", no longer using the silver dollar as the currency, but using paper money, which continues to this day.
From the perspective of the United States, it is fueling Japan's power and seriously harming the interests of the United States in China, even the interests of the silver group.
It is a great irony that the American silver group has long feared that China's abolition of the silver standard will lead to a further reduction in global silver demand, but it is precisely the "Silver Purchase Act" that they have worked so hard to make that finally force China to abandon the silver standard.
Han Peacock's purpose is to find a treasure ship that escorts silver, and it is a treasure ship that has sunk and disappeared off the coast of China.
These treasure ships have small targets and weak influence, and if they are operated properly, they are the easiest treasure ships to capture.
At that time, Japan's shipbuilding technology was not very strong in resisting wind and waves, and as long as it encountered some big wind and waves, it could sink. (To be continued......)
