Whether the rubber financial resistance war can be won is directly related to the development plan of Shen'er in the next few years, Zhao Bei attaches great importance to this, he does not dare to be careless at all, after all, the opponent is not an ordinary businessman, but an international financial speculation group, the United States, Britain, Germany, France "The power of international capital is amazing, Zhao Bei does not intend to confront them head-on, all he has to do is to organize the financial power of Chinese businessmen, and follow this group of financial speculation giants to fish in troubled waters." To a greater or lesser extent, we should reap some benefits from this rubber speculation, exercise the practical skills of China's financial circles, and broaden the horizons of Chinese businessmen.

Zhao Bei's bottom line is also very clear, to avoid this rubber financial speculation affecting his industrial investment plan, although he clearly remembers the approximate time of the bursting of the "rubber bubble" in history, but considering the fluctuations and impact of his crossing on history, he still needs a professional to stand in the front desk to command, this professional is the Ministry of Tingbi in front of him.

When Zhao Bei revealed his plan and discernment, Bu Tingbi did not agree, but fell into contemplation.

Now that the domestic political landscape is gradually becoming clearer, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the United Front will replace the Beiyang Group to rule the country, as a small speculative businessman and financier, the Ministry of Ting Bi is very satisfied with his wise choice, and now. He will only further strengthen his ties with the United Front and Zhao Bei, and now Zhao Bei has decided to ask him to go out of the mountain to preside over this financial blockade war, which is of course the trust of the commander-in-chief and the chairman of the committee in his family. At the same time, it was also a test for him by the commander-in-chief and chairman of the National People's Congress.

To be honest, he really wanted to take this opportunity to further gain Zhao Bei's trust and appreciation, but on the other hand, as a cautious speculator, he also knew very well who the opponent of this financial war was. That's a real foreign company, not only with deep pockets. Moreover, with the backing of foreign governments, Chinese businessmen are at a disadvantage in this financial contest in every way.

When the Qing court did not arrive, whenever there was a commercial dispute between Chinese and foreign merchants, it always deliberately favored foreign merchants, which was of course the instinct of the foreign slave court. But there may not be no factor of national strength, in such a catty. In the era of "might makes right", foreigners only value this strength.

Now, although the Qing court has arrived and the republican government has been established, the national strength is still so weak. Although the military governments in various places, especially those in the south, have sworn to support the development of industry and commerce and protect the interests of businessmen, as long as those unequal Sino-foreign treaties are not completely abolished, foreign businessmen will always have an all-round advantage in the competition between industry and commerce. This advantage is by no means offset by a few revolutionary slogans or protests from diplomats, but depends on the strength of the state.

Bu Tingbi saw the disadvantages of Chinese merchants. He does not have absolute confidence to win this financial war, which is the main reason for his hesitation.

"Commander-in-Chief Jun Jian. For the trust of the commander-in-chief, the contemptible people are grateful, even if they are broken. However, our businessmen are short-sighted and closed to information. Most businessmen have always been only foreigners, foreigners say east, they will never go west, foreigners say west, they will never go east, since the country opened, the Qing court always suffers every time it negotiates with foreign countries, which not only makes foreigners see the weakness of our country, but also makes our businessmen see the weakness of our country, otherwise, there will be no "master Yi long skills to control the country, the saying."

Zou Xibi first sighed with emotion, then paused, changed the conversation, and cut to the chase.

"In the eyes of the contemptible people, this financial war. The stakes are too high for businessmen to do alone. It must be recommended and the government fully supports, but with the current national situation, although Beiyang is dying, it still holds the central power, and behind Beiyang stands the great powers, and the main opponents of the commander-in-chief's financial war are businessmen and consortia from various countries. Now the commander-in-chief is being elected vice president. However, if our businessmen are frustrated in the financial war in the future and need the support of the center, the commander-in-chief cannot support it as the head of the center. ”

These words are the truth, and they are also from the heart. However, the Ministry of Ting Bi also understands that it is not that Zhao Bei and the United Front do not want to enter the center, but because there are too many external ties, especially the attitude of the United Front, which directly affects the confidence of the United Front in seizing the power of the center in one fell swoop.

As a member of the United Front, he was also very worried about British and Japanese interference. The "Eight-Nation Alliance" of those years was a lesson from the past.

Zhao Bei understood the meaning of the Ministry of Tingbi's words, in the final analysis, the Ministry of Tingbi was still not confident, he was afraid of losing the protection of the government at the critical moment of the financial war, but this can't be blamed on Zou Tingbi, this catty. The country is indeed too weak, and now it is terminally ill. You have to take strong medicine to be cured, but strong medicine must also be well grasped, which is very important, if you are not a traverser, this proportion is absolutely not good.

"Mr. Ministry's concern is very reasonable, but there is still a bit of unfounded worry. I'll tell you the truth, I'll give you my full support in this financial blockade, as long as you can organize the Chinese businessmen and make them work together and want the same thing, you don't have to worry about other things at all. The United Front and I will give you our full support. We want to have funds, and we want talents to have talents. Even if you need machine guns and bombs, I can meet your needs! In a word, I am a soldier, but also a Chinese, in order to save this weak country, I will do everything I can to use all means, whether this means is righteous and bright or despicable and shameless, and the tricks of the gentleman and the villain will become my choice.

Zhao Bei's words were too explicit, which surprised Bu Tingbi, and he immediately remembered it

He didn't dare to speculate on how many of the political assassinations that had occurred since Duan Yi were planned by a few people.

With this sentence as a guarantee, the Ministry of Tingbi can only bite the bullet and give his life to the commander-in-chief.

"Since the commander-in-chief is so honest, the contemptible man will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. However, China's businessmen have always paid attention to one identity, and although they have some prestige in the money industry, they are still white. If you want to convince the public, you need a name. ”

The Ministry of Ting Bi cautiously opened a condition, this is of course a realistic need, but there may not be no "official standard" thinking in the trouble, he did have a top in the past, but it was bought with Prince Qing, now the Qing court has arrived, the four-grade official hat is worthless, and now, he needs a new official hat to protect himself.

Zhao Bei can also understand the small abacus of the Ministry of Tingbi, after all, this country has never been a society governed by the rule of law, and for the rich, the official hat can indeed play some protective role.

"Mr. Ministry, don't worry, I have arranged it for you, yesterday Song Yuchu sent a telegram, wanting to make some changes on the issue of the choice of the chief financial officer, please make a decision, I also agreed, but I also made a condition, that is, to appoint Mr. Ministry, as a senior adviser to the Ministry of Finance, although he is not an official, but he is also named in the cabinet."

Zhao Bei's arrangement made the Ministry of Tingbi very satisfied. However, he was more curious about the question of the choice of the financial director, so he asked, "I wonder who is the chief financial officer?" ”

"The United Front nominated Mr. Huang Xing and Mr. Huang Keqiang, and Beiyang nominated Xiong Xiling, and finally decided that Huang Keqiang would serve as the chief financial officer, but the day before yesterday Huang Keqiang called and insisted on resigning as the chief minister. Xiong Xiling is the chief financial officer, although this person is a constitutionalist, but in fact he has too close relations with Beiyang, I originally disagreed with him as the chief financial officer, but Song Yuchu tried his best to help him, considering that this person is indeed familiar with finance, I finally agreed. But the Undersecretary of Finance was a member of the United Front. ”

Zou Tingbi nodded, Xiong Xiling has a relationship with him, and his impression is not bad, and it seems to be a more secure arrangement for him to be the chief financial officer.

"I heard that there was a riot in the capital yesterday, and the flag men carried the dragon flag all over the city to make trouble, and the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane was also attacked, and several Japanese diplomats were killed and injured. Moreover, the Manchu Emperor was also robbed by the Eight Banners outside the Guan. The commander-in-chief must have heard about this, right? ”

Ministry Tingbi solved the problem of his official hat. began to care about another issue, whether Zhao Bei cared about this issue or not, he had to "care" about it.

Zhao Bei was very surprised by the well-informed information of the Ministry of Tingbi, there was no detailed report on the riots at present, and the Ministry of Tingbi actually knew about the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai and the abolition of the Manchu Emperor, which really made him very interested.

"Mr. Xi, you are well-informed. I just don't know, who revealed this news to you? Can you tell me? Zhao Bei asked.

Zou Tingbi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not a secret, this news was told to me by Yuan Xiangcheng's eldest son Yuan Keding late yesterday night. ”

"Oh? Are you connected to Yuan Keding? Does he know you're in Zhengzhou? ”

Zhao Bei was even more surprised, Bu Tingbi actually had a connection with Yuan Shikai's side, which really made him a little

。

Ministry Tingbi was afraid that Zhao Bei would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Contemptible people and Yuan Keding met in Qingwangfu in the early years, and the last time Xincheng Bank was squeezed, I also sent a dog to the capital with money to carry out activities, which was to go the way of Yuan Keding, but in the end nothing was found, if it wasn't for the commander-in-chief's righteous rescue." Prudential Bank has long since collapsed. The contemptible people didn't have much contact with Yuan Keding anymore. However, the dog often communicates with him, and my incident in Zhengzhou was also told to Yuan Keding by the dog. ”

"Why did Yuan Keyu suddenly send you a telegram?"

Zhao Bei asked casually and pondered for a moment. But he couldn't grasp the key to it, and in the end, it was the words of the Ministry of Tingbi that made him suddenly.

Ministry Tingbi said: "According to the dog, after Yuan Xiangcheng became seriously ill, the First Army of Beiyang Southward Advance planned to support Yuan Keding as the acting president of the Republic of China, but because Xu Shichang strongly opposed it, the matter ended without a problem, and Yuan Keding was very dissatisfied with this. usually complains about Xu Shichang. ”

Although the Ministry of Ting Bi did not say it explicitly, Zhao Bei quickly figured out why Yuan Keding suddenly sent a telegram to the Ministry of Ting Bi about the riots that occurred in the capital yesterday, and he also understood why the Ministry of Ting Bi suddenly "cared" about the situation in the capital.

Yuan Keding didn't want to tell the news to Bu Tingbi, the person he really wanted to tell was Zhao Bei. Because he knew that Zhao Bei was also in Zhengzhou now. And Bu Tingbi is a person who is very close to Zhao Bei. He is likely to relay the news to Zhao Bei. Yuan Keding is falling into the well against Xu Shichang.

As for why Yuan Keding knew the relationship between Zou Tingbi and Zhao Bei, it is likely that the son of the Ministry of Tingbi told him, but it is more likely that the Ministry of Tingbi personally told him, Ministry Tingbi is a very speculative businessman, and he will never just put his feet on a boat, and when he joins the United Front to follow the commander-in-chief, he may not pull another political backer, Zhao Bei has a clear understanding of this.

However, the current Zhao Bei didn't have the energy to pay attention to the matter of the Ministry of Tingbi stepping on the two boats, and he had now put all his energy on Yuan Keding's side.

Yuan Keding was at odds with Xu Shichang because of the matter of the acting president of the Republic of China, and this may be an opportunity to take advantage of.

Ironically, before the riots in the capital broke out, Zhao Bei had already mastered the details, and Yuan Dagongzi was a little too clever to fall into the hole for Xu Shichang like this.

As for how to use Yuan Keding, Zhao Bei was also hesitant for a while and fell into deep thought.
