"Okay, I've cleaned your room, remember to love to be clean, you live alone, no one will clean it up for you." Xiao Rong said. Yan Buwen glanced at it, Xiao Rong had already washed Yan Buwen's dirty clothes, and the room had been cleaned, very tidy, I have to say, Xiao Rong is really good at running a house, and Yan Buwen wants Xiao Rong to cook. So he specially left Xiao Rong to cook vegetables.

"You let your fiancée burn you!" Xiao Rong said angrily, complaining while going to get vegetables and cook vegetables.

"Well, it's a good dish, I like it, it's just amazing." Yan Buwen tasted it and praised it. Xiao Rong smiled beside her: "I thought you would eat delicious food when you went to Beijing, but I didn't expect you to be like this." ”

"How can you make it delicious."

After Yan Buwen finished eating, he took the newspaper and read it. Recently, on May 1, the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing Government issued a short-term bond of 30 million yuan with a monthly interest rate of 7%, and the principal and interest were repaid within 30 months from June 1927. The bonds issued, with denominations ranging from $10 to $10,000, are secured by government revenue from a 2.5% surcharge from Shanghai Customs. And it was not as peaceful as the newspapers said, and the Nanjing government resorted to a lot of high-pressure measures to force the Shanghai capitalists to buy. However, the capitalists are not willing to buy, although there is a written contract, but the government is not allowed to collapse, and the money will be wasted, and although some people believe that the revolutionary army can win, they do not believe that all the money they have invested can be returned, and judging from the current means of the government, it is very likely that in the future you will be charged with a trumped-up crime and your property will be confiscated.

Then the Chang Guild personally came to Shanghai, a treasure of feng shui and a place where the rich gathered, and at that time, these capitalists would be rectified by high-pressure means. It's not enough to just cooperate with capitalists, businessmen are profit-seeking, and if they don't make money, they won't invest, and Chang Gong also understands this. The previous cooperation with the Shanghai capitalists was not pleasant, although they assisted them in exterminating other party members who often launched general strikes, but the money donated by the capitalists after that could not meet the demand, so Chang Gong directly tore his face and prepared to come to Ming to rob him.

During this time, government officials went from store to store to factory to collect funds. For example, the member banks of the Shanghai Association of Banks were designated to purchase 1.65 million yuan of 25 taxable treasury bills of the Jiangxi Customs; Zhabei Hydropower Company was designated 250,000 yuan, Sincere Company 250,000 yuan, Commercial Press 200,000 yuan, and Xinxin Company 250,000 yuan......

The terrifying storm swept many businessmen into the whirlpool. Recently, it appeared in the newspapers, the most famous is that the son of Shi Baoshun, a rich pigment merchant in the French Concession, was arrested on the charge of ***, and was released only after Shi promised to donate 200,000 yuan to the state. Rong Zongjing, the cotton yarn and flour king of Shanghai and Wuxi, was arrested on charges of profiteer and had financed warlords, and the order was cancelled after he donated 250,000 yuan to the government treasury. Zhao Zhiyong, a well-known wine merchant, was arrested by the military authorities and then donated 200,000 yuan before being released. The newspapers all advertised that these people had been arrested under various names, but in fact the capitalists understood that it was only for the sake of money.

Later, there was also the kidnapping of the young owner of a large company, and the three-year-old son of Ou Bingguang of Sincere Company was kidnapped and demanded 500,000 yuan. Another wealthy man, Xu Baozhen, a son of the owner of a cotton spinning factory, was arrested on charges of *** and asked for 670,000 yuan. The extortion of money from merchants and gentry by means of arrest and the threat of arrest was a veritable reign of terror among the wealthy classes.

And in the same month after Yan Buwen married Duoduo, in May, another way to grab money appeared.

The Tokyo government sent the Kwantung Army into Shandong in late May, fearing that the Northern Expedition would harm its interests in Shandong. This action led to huge demonstrations and boycotts of Japanese goods in several cities in China.

The Shanghai Party Department also began to take advantage of this, first forming the "Great Alliance Against Japanese Products". The people's concern for Japan's invasion of Shandong and their spontaneous boycott of Japanese goods was a sign of patriotism, but the Shanghai Party Department regarded the refusal to buy Japanese goods as a convenient means to extract more donations from Shanghai businessmen.

The "Anti-Japanese Goods Alliance" assigns inspectors to inspect Japanese goods in various Chinese products. From millionaires to small shopkeepers, as long as they dare to sell Japanese goods, they will be charged with "helping Japanese imperialism", and if they do not want to be caught, they will have to pay a fine. Some wooden cages were set up at the border of the public concession to lock up those merchants who sold Japanese goods and sold the country, and the stickers posted "wooden cages rented to foreign slaves" were posted to intimidate the merchants in the public concession. The Grand Alliance's Statement: It is necessary to arrest those merchants who violate the boycott of Japanese goods or hold opinions that disagree with the Grand Alliance!

Secondly, under the auspices of the military authorities, the "Grand Alliance for the Breaking of Economic Relations with Japan" was formed, which embarked on a plan to arrest businessmen and detain them and impose fines.

The "Great Alliance Against Japanese Goods" sent people to inspect and then the "Great Alliance for the Severance of Economic Relations with Japan" was responsible for arresting them.

At this point, many businessmen were arrested and kept fines, and the arrested people will not be released until the requirements are met.

Duo Yunxuan also has a lot of Japanese paintings, so he can only ask someone to take them out and keep them, or if he is too late, he will burn them directly to avoid trouble, Rao is so, Duo Yunxuan was still fined a lot of money. Lin Yuan and they are the same, department stores, Japanese goods are all off the shelves, and they take the initiative to donate a large amount of money to maintain business operations.

When it was close to July, Huo Ting, a welfare company, approached Yan Buwen and asked with a smile: "This is the new business world you expect?" There is no future, following the government so blindly, our own company can't sustain itself, and now Shanghai is a place of right and wrong, we can only put a small part of our assets here, and most of them have to be sheltered in the name of foreigners, so it is safe, what, do you want to go to a foreign country with me? ”

Yan Buwen refused: "I have more important things, so I won't go with you." ”

"Hehe, you're still so unkind, but don't forget that we have a third agreement, and when I ask you to do it, don't be embarrassed." Huo Ting smiled, not reluctantly, in her opinion, it was stupid to ignore it, what are you doing in the country? Now domestic capital is very unstable, the government controls everything, one is not careful, and everything is lost, so Huo Ting directly flows most of her assets to the United States or the United Kingdom, in this kind of capital country, the government can collapse, but capital will not.

"I won't do what makes me embarrassed." Yan Buwen said with a smile.

Huo Ting then scolded: "Stupid." "I'm going to go to the United States, take care of the funds she shipped out, and plan her new chamber of commerce.

At the end of May, Yan Buwen suddenly thought of something, and immediately sent a letter of resignation to Tsinghua University, and told him that it must be sent to Mr. "Wang Guowei".
