Chapter 263: Counting Heroes
Subtitle of this chapter: If no hero draws his sword, it will be another calamity.
………………………………………………………
These four words in our Master Yuan's heart are......
Time, none, English, male.
Of course, the heroic view of history is not necessary. But on the other hand, without the leadership of heroes, the people's self-awakening is not easy.
In 1921, Seris was full of firewood and oil. At this time, the world is looking forward to it.
They waited for Prometheus, who had stolen the fire from heaven, and hoped that he would light a fire and burn a new Seris!
However, Yuan Yanqian is the only one in the world who knows that this Prometheus is not yet in the climate.
In the next few years, there will be several big names who are unstoppable. However, Master Yuan naturally knew that they were spinning and extinguishing, and they were not even the precursors of the king.
The one who is the precursor of the king will not come to the throne until six years later.
By the way, what does this kind of historical common sense that you only need to know after nine years of compulsory education have to do with Master Yuan's inability to join the Morgan Consortium?
Of course it matters.
Excuse me, what is the real business of the Morgan consortium?
Two words, borrow money.
Of course, this is not a campus loan where you can borrow money by taking off your clothes, taking an ID card, and taking a photo, but a large loan that can easily cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Moreover, the repayment period of this kind of loan starts at least 10 years, 20 or 30 years is not unusual, 50 or 60 years is normal, and hundreds of years are not nothing.
For the Morgan consortium, the biggest obstacle to doing business in Seris is that they can't find anyone to lend money to.
To be honest, Yuan Yanqian couldn't help this, because he really couldn't think of who he could lend money to.
The problem with the Beiyang warlords is that they are obviously feudal towns, but they want to be the central government.
Is the center of the year so good?
Once you become the central government, you will have to bear all kinds of foreign debts that you have owed since the Qing Dynasty, and at this time the customs are still in the hands of foreigners.
Caesar-Yuan didn't understand this truth until he died, virtue is not worthy, whether it is called the president of the Republic of China or Emperor Hongxian, it is useless.
Octavian-Duan of the Anhui dynasty not only did not have a modern concept of finance, but also did not even have the concept of "ancient finance".
Do you still remember the big loan from Xiyuan, the "Dog of the North Seas" Octavian Duan actually said to the "Tiger of the North Seas" Marco Anthony Feng that Lao Tzu never thought about how to repay this loan at all.
This kind of person can't borrow even if he is on stage, let alone he has stepped down.
The direct family claims to have a British and American platform, but in fact, it is a tragic role that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love.
In fact, the British and American governments did not like the direct line, and during the two years they were in power, they borrowed the least amount of foreign debt of any previous Beiyang government.
Because they feel that the direct discipline is too high and they refuse to obey. These imperialists did not reflect on the betrayal of China at the Versailles Peace Conference, and blamed all the xenophobic popular sentiments of the time on the head of the immediate government. Of course, being able to reflect on it is not called imperialism.
In addition, the direct family always wanted to increase tariffs, but Britain and the United States of course did not agree to it, and it dragged on until the second direct war, which was the two-five tariff increase plan that died abruptly.
For example, in 1923, the direct government introduced a special tax on tobacco, and in the same year, the US imperialist State Department, at the request of the British American United Tobacco Company, pressured the direct family to cancel this tax.
For another example, in 1924, under the instruction of the British and American governments, the British Anglian, the General Taxation Department of China, withheld tens of millions of silver dollars from the "Guan Yu" and "Yan Yu".
Reading history so far, I can only sigh and sigh for the "Emperor Twin Heroes" Oscar von Rochenthal Cao and Wolfgang Midamaia Wu.
After the Second Zhifeng War in 1924, there was a coaxing commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces in the direct line and Anhui lineage, "Xiangshuai" - Sun Chuanfang......
Well, it's really a bit unaccustomed to switching from space opera to Chinese martial arts style at this time.
However, his old man was not Chu Liuxiang after all, and he was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army in just one year (from the end of 1925 to the middle of 1926).
As for the Feng system, it is simply the forbidden belly of the Japanese. It is better to lend money directly to the Japanese than to lend money directly to the Japanese.
It is not a big deal for the Japanese government to kill a prime minister, and the next term will pay back the money in the same way.
If "Xuefu Five-Car Zhang Dashuai" is blown up in the car, can "Zhang Shaoshuai" really be a light lintel?
History proves that Xiao Liuzi is simply a 100-pound steamed longevity peach - a waste snack.
And what about the Guangzhou government, with gold rubles and water beads (Russian-made Mosin?). Nagant rifles), the real Kuomintang who wanted to be a branch of the Comintern also wanted to borrow money from the Morgan consortium...... It's definitely a good joke.
What else is the Jin line, the Gui line, the Sichuan system, the Yunnan line, the Western Regions Yiyang (Yang Zengxin), and the Northwest Erma, which are not as good as the previous ones
Our Master Yuan photographed all over the railings of the wall and street, and several heroes in the world, and I really couldn't find a hero who could still repay the borrowed money.
See, how aggrieved it is to be a 1921 Seris.
He had four more words in his heart, and that was ......
Sell, country, none, door!
Yuan Yanqian played with the wine glass in her hand, turned her head to "the most successful president in the history of the Morgan consortium" and asked, "Mr. Lamont, I heard that you went around East Asia last year. ”
"Hmm......" The tall and thin middle-aged man was taken aback, but he nodded, "Dr. Yuan, you are really well-informed." I did go to your home country in my capacity as chairman of the Chinese syndicate, as well as to Japan. ”
In 1910, the four banks of Citigroup, HSBC, Dehua and Crédit Agricole formed a four-country banking group, and then in the Qing Dynasty, there was a "railway state-owned" movement, which led to the Xinhai Revolution......
In 1913, Citibank withdrew. However, in 1920, the United States, Britain, France, and Japan formed a new four-nation banking group.
Among them, the American banking syndicate is called the "China Syndicate", and the first chairman is the aforementioned Harry Davidson.
However, he was not in good health, so Thomas Lamont took over as chairman of the Chinese syndicate and made a trip to China and Japan last year.
After this trip, he had no affection for the former, but he was very interested in the latter.
To be exact, Thomas Lamont is quite fond of China, but as a banker chairman, he doesn't think the Morgan consortium is suitable to invest in this huge country.
Lao La is also a wonderful person, after he arrived in China, he completely followed the local customs, and did not take a car but eight large sedans. Seris antiques were bought as long as they liked it, and the prices of real and fake antiques in Panjiayuan increased at that time.
However, because of the handling of the Shandong issue at the Versailles Peace Conference, there was a kind of xenophobia in Seris's society, both official and non-governmental, Lamont was touched, and even students who got the news went to the Six Nations Hotel where he stayed to protest.
In addition to the turbulent situation and the atmosphere of discord, the Japanese also came to cause trouble.
I have to say that Little Japan knew the importance of the Morgan consortium better than the Seris people at that time. When Lao La was in China, the Japanese were always with him, and Japanese intelligence officers followed him wherever he went.
The Japanese also opened a room next to him, and the agents leaned against the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation next door.
Once, Lao La was reading a telegram on the train, and found a Japanese man staring at the telegram in his hand behind him, so he simply handed the telegram to this dedicated Japanese spy.
