Chapter 217: Railroad Bank
Well, all the issues have been basically solved, and there is only one southbound tourism activity left, that is, Lao Chiang's "appeasement meeting", which was held in Lushan, Jiujiang, and the time was the 25th year of the Republic of China, April 8, and the means of transportation, Liu Xiang temporarily designated the Hongfei I passenger plane in western Sichuan.
Only the specific personnel attending the meeting still need to be considered, Jiang Weizuo was very generous, and sent three invitations, namely Liu Xiang from Sichuan, Liu Wenhui from Xikang, and Liu Yun from western Sichuan.
Liu Yun was also stunned, isn't it set in Nanjing, how to change it in Jiujiang, what is there to say about this, there is really something, Liu Wenhui explained, saying that Lao Jiang thinks that the air in Nanjing is dirty, the weather is wet and cold, and there are hot springs in Jiujiang Lushan, so it is recommended that everyone go there for a spring outing.
The three major forces of Chuankang are all in charge of the old Liu family, how can they let outsiders get separated, Liu Xiang decided to change it to everyone's public discussion, discussing who can go or not, of course, the three family members can't change, otherwise Nanjing Lao Jiang will be embarrassed, and the remaining places are also very expensive, and he will be bloody for a while.
For this kind of boring farce, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui both felt annoyed, so they immediately announced the dismissal of the meeting, well, as soon as the participants were attended, they could go to the big canteen at the airport for dinner, they themselves were old and frail, so they would go first, and they hoped that everyone would be one or two, so they pulled Liu Yun and left.
Commander Liu was also dizzy, he wanted to pull Pang Xuezhong and mention the matter of the deputy mayor to Liu Xiang by the way, but he didn't dare to open his mouth indiscriminately, and he didn't wake up until he was on the road.
The two Chairman Liu really had something to do, and the convoy didn't go far, and stopped at a villa near Phoenix Mountain, but after the people got out of the car, the convoy continued to move forward, presumably driving into the urban area, and the rest of the group ate something casually, and was about to get ready to talk about business.
What can be the right thing, is the question of how to divide the spoils, 20 million oceans, is not a small amount, Liu Xiang means the division of 631, he himself accounts for 60 percent, Liu Wenhui accounts for 30 percent, Liu Yun accounts for 1 percent, Commander Liu can be regarded as an eye-opener, you can divide the money like this, it is too straightforward.
Liu Wenhui doesn't do it, he only accounts for 30 percent, is he going to ask for food, no, he has to account for at least 40 percent, too, an achievement is as high as 2 million oceans, it is indeed not a small amount, and finally discussed for a long time, it was still deadlocked, Liu Yun had to come forward by himself to solve this contradiction.
"Two uncles, Yicheng has an idea", Commander Liu is not a person who talks nonsense, he also thought about it repeatedly, and then came up with a clever plan, at least to make everyone's income bigger, "It's better for us to make the bun bigger and use this money to build a railway bank."
"Railway Bank", Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui looked at each other, what kind of thing is that, I have only heard of the Central Bank, the Construction Bank, the Bank of Communications, the Agricultural Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, this railway can also establish a bank, Liu Yun made an explanation, in fact, the full name is "Sichuan Railway Investment Bank".
The establishment of the bank has three intentions, one is to promote the good deeds of private fundraisers, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are quite appreciative, they have profits, they should let these investors get names, and the second money is not swallowed by people, but the establishment of a bank, so that the fundraisers can rest assured that they can personally supervise.
Let people supervise, this, the two Chairman Liu were a little hesitant. Liu Yun told them that the people who really control the bank are not Lao Liu's own people, these fundraisers know what they do, even if they are told to squat in the bank 24 hours a day, it is useless, but they can also win a good reputation.
This is true, didn't Liu Xiang himself engage in any "squire participation in politics", when they really participated in the discussion, they were just decorations, well, this is good, and Liu Wenhui is a little uncomfortable, how good it is to share the money directly, and to supervise something, isn't it taking off his pants and farting.
Liu Xiang and Liu Yun both smiled bitterly and were silent, your sister, doing this kind of black thing is so direct, who dares to let you be in charge, no wonder the more you get mixed up, the more miserable it becomes, and you run to Xikang Province, where birds don't shit, to be the king, you really have little knowledge, your head is simple, forget it, it's not clear for a while, the minority obeys the majority, shut up.
As for the third layer of intentions, that is, to take advantage of the boom in railway construction, to reunify the currency value of Sichuan, Liu Yun has noticed an abnormal phenomenon in recent years, the gold and silver in Sichuan have gradually lost outward, in the early years of the Sichuan warlords scuffle, and did not pay attention to reputation and influence, all kinds of white counterfeit coins flew everywhere, resulting in today's Sichuan army layoffs, many of the soldiers who have been laid off are very miserable among the people.
Therefore, reorganizing the reputation of the Sichuan army is a top priority, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are also a little awe-inspiring, and even want to discuss with Liu Yun, whether to do it in one step, and let the railway bank issue Sichuan currency on behalf of the bank.
"Iron coin", Liu Yun was also stunned, this is a good idea, in addition to the gold, silver and copper coins as the mainstream currency in ancient times, there are indeed iron coins, cloth coins two kinds of auxiliary coins, especially in the remote Xishu, so the issuance of iron coins in the name of the railway, there is really a certain social foundation and feasibility.
Is it difficult to issue currency? It's not difficult, as long as the issuer's reputation and strength are high enough, there is still a certain range of circulation, and it is best to effectively prevent counterfeiting, that is, the golden currency, if the three major forces of Chuankang are united, it is indeed not a problem, and there is black technology to help, everything can be solved.
Of course, there is another way, which is to take the initiative to discuss with Lao Jiang, so that Chuan Kang can also obtain the right to issue legal tender, then this purpose can also be achieved, and it will be effective in the short term, but Liu Yun is worried that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the financial attack of the devil, the depreciation of the legal tender will be caused, and then the disaster will affect Sichuan.
In the territory of Chuankang, the government of Chuankang does not support or oppose the adoption of fiat currency, only in large transactions, iron coins must be measured by iron coins, iron coins are mainly small banknotes, such as one yuan, five jiao, one dime, five cents and one cent, etc., the largest denomination of which is 10 (pick) yuan, the value is equivalent to ten silver dollars.
Of course, the specific issue of setting up a railway bank has to be discussed with the Ministry of Finance in Nanjing. The two Chairman Liu also knew that the relationship between Liu Yun and Kong Caishen was naturally tacit, so they entrusted him with full authority to operate and implement, and Commander Liu had to do it himself for the sake of the construction of the rear.
Liu Yun proposed that the headquarters of the railway bank be located in western Sichuan, which would be more convincing, while in the early days of the bank's establishment, it was only opened in major cities along the railway, such as western Sichuan County, Maozhou City, Fucheng County and Chengdu City.
Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui have no opinions, they only care about the problem of money, when Liu Yun explained the operation of the bank in detail, it dawned on them that it can not only solve the employment of demobilized soldiers, but also absorb the idle funds of the people, so that investors can get a certain return, thus forming a virtuous circle, resulting in the long-term construction of railways and banks.
As for the issue of equity, it is also very easy to handle, with the two Chairman Liu each contributing 10 million oceans, and then using the reputation of the Sichuan Army as a guarantee, and then distributing 10 million oceans of dry shares each, and Liu Yun also plans to raise another 10 million US dollars, and at the same time use the reputation of the Sichuan Railway as a guarantee to make up the total amount of 100 million oceans.
After deducting the seven folds and eight deductions, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui did take a big advantage, but at present, they are shy in their pockets, let alone 10 million oceans, that is, 1 million, they have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, otherwise they will not want to embezzle the private fundraising. It's easy to do without money, Liu Yun thought of a good way for them.
For example, the auction of mining rights. Liu Yun's meaning is very simple, the various minerals along the railway, the statistics are registered, the whole country is attracted to attract investment, and the auction and registration are carried out in the city, so that in the future, not only can the auction funds be obtained, but also the economic development of Sichuan can be stimulated, and the tax revenue of factories and mines can be increased.
It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, the previous Sichuan was full of fighting, and it was located in a remote area, these minerals were not given away in vain, and no one came to invest. But now it is different, not only the train has been opened, but also the passenger plane is about to be opened, which is a new big gold mine for many investors.
Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are princes of one party, and their acceptance of new things is still above ordinary people, and they are even more clear about speculation.
can still do this, Liu Wenhui is convinced, the private fund-raising slightly changed hands, it is still 20 million oceans, and it is easily in the bag, and it is impeccable and blameless, but they owe the bank 20 million debts, don't forget that they are major shareholders, the stock alone is as high as 40 million, and they can afford to lose completely, if they carefully calculate the accounts, the bank will have to lose 20 million.
Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui know that it is very powerful, the heads of scholars are easy to use, they are a group of big and coarse, they really can't play these university questions, they get up early and are greedy for darkness, and pull up hundreds of thousands of troops, and now they can't afford to raise them at all, they have to lose money every day, they just want to rob people, they don't know how to rob people, ordinary people can have a few dollars, and large families, which have no background.
By the way, Lao Jiang's Central Army can have today's momentum, isn't it all up to Minister Kong, the God of Wealth, to collect money, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are suddenly open for a while, they are also running now, and they also have their own God of Wealth, well, Liu Yun is still the son-in-law of Kong God of Wealth, and he is really rich and rooted.
Commander Liu's image instantly became taller, and the two Chairman Liu also thought about it, Liu Yun will be the third master of the Sichuan Army in the future, in charge of finance and construction, well, the status is definitely higher than Kong Caishen in Nanjing, and even closer than their own children, otherwise they will not show their attention to talents.
From then on, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui would emphasize Liu Yun's status in various places, so that Chuankang's generals and gentry would all respect Liu Sanye, obey the orders and dispatches of the third master, and offend the third master, that is, offend the two Chairman Liu, or the kind with serious consequences.
Liu Sanye didn't feel anything about himself, after talking with the two Chairman Liu, he took Pang Xuezhong and flew back to Maozhou City, as for the deputy mayor and other things, Liu Yun was not interested, because he thought of a better way out, and let Pang Taishi personally serve as the president of the Railway Bank in the future.
To be the president of the bank, Pang Xuezhong is a little unbearable, and he also has to issue "iron coins", with a total registered capital of up to 100 million oceans, is this also what he can do? He has been a master for a few years, and by the way, in Shanghai, he engaged in black market trading, how can he know any kind of bank and the like.
Of course, Liu Yun is not untargeted, the funds in the names of Pang Xuezhong's father and daughter are as high as more than 10 million US dollars, but they are only temporarily placed with Kong Yuling and have not been withdrawn, followed by Liu Wenhui's staff, and now he is eating under Liu Xiang, so he is the best candidate.
