On January 14, 1923, the day after the Franco-Belgian coalition entered the Ruhr area, the German authorities declared "non-violent non-cooperation" and the mark exchange rate fell off a cliff, Contini opened fire.

The first fire was to close most of the positions betting on the decline of the mark exchange rate as much as possible, and urgently transfer them to the outside world, which was less than 12 hours before the German government announced the emergency economic control and stopped all foreign exchange circulation.

So far, the game of the entire Ruhr crisis Contini has received a total of 15.08 million US dollars, of which 10 million went to the United States, 5.08 million flowed back to Italy, part of it became a joint industry, part of it became liquidity, and there were about nearly 600,000 US dollars in Germany that could not go anymore, but the Weimar government did not dare to offend the propertied people, only restricted circulation, redemption and withdrawal, and did not order confiscation or forced exchange, in other words, the balance can continue to lie on the bank accounts in digital form, Unless you're willing to actively convert it into a mark, it won't be used at all, it's just a string of numbers – and if you're unlucky enough to catch up with the bank's failure, the number will eventually disappear.

But for Contini, it doesn't matter whether the money can be turned into dollars or not, he has already made a lot of money, not to mention that the dollars can be exchanged for marks to pay for the transportation of engineers and technicians who left BMW to Italy, and it will not be wasted at all. Originally, Contini had only dug up about 20 people, but as the Ruhr crisis was brewing and erupting, many engineers and technicians felt threatened, and they were persuaded by friends or colleagues to leave BMW and join the ranks of the gold rush south to Italy.

Antonio, who was in charge of the management of these affairs, sent a telegram saying that more than 50 people had agreed to go south to work in Italy, and that there were even engineers from MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and other companies asking him if he wanted to think about it. Contini was overjoyed, saying that as long as the technology is excellent, he will not refuse to come, even in addition to engineers and technicians, the best skilled workers will be a group - he is now planning to carry out a major clean-up of the Wanguo aircraft, and those who work in the mechanical, power, vehicle, and aircraft industries will not refuse.

He told Antonio that single German engineers are especially welcome, as long as they do have a skill and are willing to come to Italy for long-term development, he can help them solve their personal problems in Italy - Italian girls are very enthusiastic, more open and lively than German girls, and they are not easy to deal with engineers? As for the house, tickets, and cars, as long as the banner of the United Group does not fall, there is absolutely no need to worry, and he will talk about it first - there is ready-made land, how much does it cost to build a family building?

Antonio is very strange that he would have such an idea, which is incompatible with the traditional Italian capital operation system, where would the capitalists worry about these personal private affairs? However, Contini has his own considerations, on the surface, this increases costs, but it improves employee loyalty and satisfaction, which is beneficial to the long-term development of the enterprise - the United Group does not want to be a nouveau riche who will take a handful of money, and is ready to engage in multi-format joint promotion.

The second fire was lit by the newspaper "Youth", and all the other newspapers reported on the Ruhr crisis in a long way, but the front page of the "Youth" newspaper was very brief about the Ruhr crisis, but the editorial article was shocking, and a long commentary written by Contini entitled "On the Hypocrite, the Representative of Duplicity and the Representative of the Two-Faced Character Mr. Matteotti - Thought of by the Ruhr Crisis", not only the headline is strong enough, but the content is also very hot:

“…… Mr. Matteotti is the typical and master of a group of social activists and even some parliamentarians, who claim to be public intellectuals and representatives of public opinion, who are willing to find fault and flaunt themselves as flawless saints......

At the beginning of the war, the Socialists vigorously advocated neutrality, opposed the participation in the war on the side of Britain and France, and even expelled Mr. Mussolini because of this disagreement. After the end of the war, it was these old men who jumped out and accused Italy of reckless military force, labor and money, and Italy had nothing to gain...... They are the ones who advocate neutrality, they are the ones who advocate going to war, and they are the ones who oppose going to war afterwards.

In terms of opposing the former government, you make a noise every day, saying that the government is incompetent and must be reformed, otherwise there is no hope for Italy, but when you really wait for the fascists to rise up and launch a people's revolution and refresh the politics, you can't wait to jump out and say that this kind of behavior is illegal and is essentially mob politics. Only you are allowed to rise up in revolution, but we are not allowed to rise up in revolution? What kind of reasoning is this?

In criticizing the current government, you are even more spittle-free and short-sighted, saying today that the government is corrupt and incompetent, tomorrow you say that government officials are corrupt and inefficient, and the day after tomorrow you say that cronyism and nepotism are ...... After Prime Minister Mussolini formed a cabinet, except for the change of cabinet ministers, more than 99% of the administrative officials of the remaining central and local organs were retained, if the government really has what they call this kind of unbearable, that is the matter of more than two months, did these acts not exist before, just because of the change of prime minister, the original group of honest and honest government officials suddenly became villains?

I do not deny that the government has problems of one kind or another, but in the final analysis it is a problem of people, these problems are not new now, they are already there, it is not that the Socialist Party has never come to power, it is not that no one has ever been prime minister, the people have given you a chance, and you yourself have not done a good job and even exacerbated this evil. Now, you are asking the new prime minister to solve problems that have not been solved for more than 10 years and 20 years to solve them in just over two months, except for making it difficult for strongmen, engaging in double standards, and engaging in political speculation, I really don't see any other intentions!

Among them, Mr. Matteotti is the most prominent, he writes articles against the government from time to time, and from time to time makes public speeches criticizing the government and the ministers of relevant departments, but as for himself, in order not to wronged Mr. Matteotti, our youth union deliberately conducted a field investigation for more than a month, and came to a very surprising conclusion:

Mr. Matteotti is the leader of the so-called administrative inefficiency: they counted the attendance records and commuting times of the last 45 days, and Mr. Matteotti was completely punctual for only 4 days, and the rest of the time was either late or left early;

Mr. Matteotti is also a particularly prominent example of the so-called serious waste: they analyzed the expenses he reimbursed through the channels of Congress, and his expenses were more than three times the average, and many of them were the activities, entertainment and administrative expenses of the Socialist Party, which he cleverly placed under the name of the parliamentarians for reimbursement, to the detriment of the public and private interests;

Mr. Matteotti is also not far behind in the so-called corruption and depravity: the members of the Youth League found that Mr. Matteotti has been in and out of the red light district three times in the last two months during their social investigation, although we understand the value orientation of a man in terms of physiology, can he take care of the things in his crotch before he is sanctimonious and accuses others?

……”

The next day, newspapers including Le Mass, Corriere della Sera and other newspapers followed up in full and the Socialist Party immediately countered in the media controlled by the party, and the verbal battle of loud and amplified debate quickly escalated......
