1088908 Far Eastern madman

There are too many mysteries in this era, many of which are artificially created, and for whatever purpose, these artificially created mysteries are always smeared with strange colors, which makes the efforts to answer them very futile.

As the mastermind behind a new historical mystery, Zhao Bei was now sitting in his office, with several telegrams in the ashtray in front of him, rapidly turning to ashes in the flames.

Watch as those few telegraphs turn to ashes. Zhao Bei sighed lightly, put the box of matches in his hand next to the ashtray, and then he saw the trademark on the match, this box of matches is made by a match factory in Wuhan, now Wuhan, light industry is developing rapidly, this box of inconspicuous matches is just a footnote to Zhao Bei's support for industry and commerce.

Now Zhao Bei doesn't have the heart to care about the development of industry and commerce, he is just sighing, feeling this era, feeling human nature, and feeling the conspiracies and tricks planned by him.

Perhaps, this era is not suitable for righteous men and gentlemen, and this era is an era of reverse elimination, which can also explain why the morality of this society is on the verge of collapse.

In order to save this society, in order to change this era of reverse elimination, Zhao Bei had to formulate some shady action plans, and also had to order to "solve" those people and forces that blocked his progress, which inevitably required the use of intrigues.

Compassion is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not guarded with money, these Taoist people's hearts, the predecessors have seen clearly. In the past, Zhao Bei was just a small clerk and a small person in society, so naturally he didn't have much understanding of this. But since he held the military power, Zhao Bei really understood this truth, this society is a stage, if you want to sing the leading role on the stage, you must do your best, otherwise, you will only have to play tricks.

After walking for a while, Zhao Bei quickly put aside those distracting thoughts in his mind, he picked up the phone on the table, shook the general staff, and inquired about the situation of the troops in Zhili, but before he could say a few words to Lan Tianwei, an adjutant from the attendant room had walked into the office and handed over a telegram to Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei pressed down the phone, took the transcript of the telegram and looked at it, it was a secret telegram taken from the presidential palace in Beijing, the person who took the telegram was Xu Shichang, the acting president of the Republic of China, the content of the telegram was not long, it was to ask Zhao Bei to take office as vice president of the Republic of China as soon as possible, and by the way, he briefly described the riots that occurred in the capital yesterday.

"Call back, I am busy with affairs, it is impossible to go to Beijing to take the oath of office, I can only be sworn in as vice president in Zhengzhou or Wuhan, I am very grateful for President Xu's kind invitation, but I really can't go north, I hope President Xu will understand. Other than that. Send another telegram to express our views on yesterday's riots in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the specific content will be studied by your attendant's room, and then handed it over to me for review. ”

The adjutant turned around and left the office, and Zhao Bei also stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the garden.

"Commander-in-Chief," the Student Volunteer Corps. You're about to return to Wuhan, and they want to invite you to a ball. ”

Hearing the female voice behind him, Zhao Bei turned around with a smile and glanced at the female secretary who walked in, it was Miss Cuiyi, who was still holding an invitation card in her hand and had a smile on her face.

"You tell them I'll make time out of my time to go to them. That's right. If it's a prom, I don't seem to have a dance partner. Cuiyi, can you dance? ”

Zhao Bei took the invitation, glanced at it, said a few words casually, and then raised his eyes, but saw that Cui Yi was already Feixia floating, and Hao teeth bit her lips, looking shy and lovely.

"A little." Cuixuan's answer was as subtle as a mosquito, but fortunately it was quiet here, and Zhao Bei heard it clearly

Finish.

"It's not the kind of solo dance you used to do." Zhao Bei continued to laugh.

Yi lowered his head, as if he had already begun to find a crack in the ground.

"I don't have anything else to do here, you can go with your business, if you have nothing to do, continue to learn your foreign language."

Zhao Bei knew the truth of what was enough, and sent Cui Yi away with a few words, and was about to continue to discuss the next military action with Lan Tianwei, the chief of the General Staff, but before he could sit back at the table, Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, had already led the Ministry of Tingbi into the office.

"Commander-in-chief, the ministry has arrived.

Qin Sihu stood up and saluted, then exited the office with interest and stood at the door.

"I don't know what the commander-in-chief called his department to come over and act?"

The ministry was not restrained, sat down generously, held a cup of tea, and glanced at Zhao Bei, who was sitting behind the desk.

"Mr. Ministry, do you remember what I told you about the issuance of banknotes?" Zhao Bei stood up, walked to Bu Tingbi's side, and sat down on the sofa.

"Yes. The Commander-in-Chief said that the banknotes printed by the despicable Xincheng Bank were of poor quality and needed to be replaced, but was it true? Bu Tingbi nodded.

"It's our Prudential Bank, and it's not going to be called "Prudential Bank." Now, it has to be called "China Financial United Bank" with my support, and this bank will become the largest bank in China in the future. What Bank of Communications, what Citibank, all stand aside! ”

"Yes, yes. The commander-in-chief reminded that. It's our bank. ”

Zhao Bei corrected the slip of the tongue, the Ministry of Tingbi nodded again and again, almost in a cold sweat, although now he holds 51% of the total shares of the bank, is the largest shareholder, but without Zhao Bei's strong support, whether this Xincheng Bank can survive until now is very questionable, not to mention, the future development is inseparable from the commander-in-chief, Zhao Bei is the actual first shareholder.

"Actually, please come over today. Just to tell you, I found a German plate engraving technician for the bank through the German Chamber of Commerce, he just left Japan a few days ago, and now he has arrived in Wuhan, I want to ask him to help our China Financial United Bank issue new banknotes, now, I want to ask you to leave for Wuhan immediately, as soon as possible to complete this matter, in addition, the sample of the silver dollar has also been sent, I have a look, it is not bad, you also give the staff staff, if you are also satisfied, our mint will be able to mass-produce this silver dollar immediately. ”

Zhao Bei took out a few silver dollars from the pocket of his military uniform and handed them to the ministry Tingbi.

"In addition, I want to ask Mr. Ministry's help with one thing, saying that some time ago, the stock exchange in Hankou was opened. In addition to the stocks of steel mills and imitation weaving factories, I have heard that many people on the stock exchange are now trading some rubber stocks. ”

Ministry Tingbi nodded, said: "Rubber is widely used, especially in Europe and the United States, where there are many shipyards and automobile factories, and the demand for rubber is very large, but rubber is only produced in rubber plantations, and the supply cannot meet the demand, the price of rubber is higher day by day, and the people who operate rubber plantations need funds to expand rubber plantations, and many foreign rubber companies have opened branches in China to specialize in trading rubber stocks. Now the stock exchange is open. Some people put the place of trading in Hankow. Now, of all the stocks, rubber stocks are the most sought after, and even I bought some rubber stocks. ”

"So, I would like to ask Mr. Ministry, do you know how many years does it take for a rubber tree to grow? How many years of glue production? How much rubber is in demand in U.S. auto plants? In addition to the cultivation of rubber trees in the South Seas, which other countries and regions grow this crop? ”

Zhao Bei asked truthfully, which made Ministry Tingbi slightly stunned, he understood that Zhao Bei was a soldier and would never suddenly ask about rubber trading for no reason.

"What is the Commander-in-Chief's send? Let's be clear. Ministry Tingbi said.

"To tell you the truth, I would like to ask Mr. Bu to come forward and conduct a financial battle with foreign rubber companies for me."

Zhao Bei stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a document, and handed it to the Ministry of Tingbi.

"Mr. Ministry, you, this is the material I created and organized, which is about those foreign rubber companies in China. The foreign companies have vowed that they will raise money to expand their rubber plantations in the South Seas and Australia, and although I know that rubber trees can be planted in the South Seas, I know that there are no rubber plantations in Australia right now. Investigators are continuing to delve into the backgrounds of these foreign companies and believe it won't be long before their deception is exposed. ”

Hearing this, Zou Tingbi was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Is the commander-in-chief saying that these foreign companies are all liars?" But aren't London rubber stocks also bullish? ”

"Not all foreign companies are scammers, but there are a lot of scammers. As for the price of rubber stocks in London. It is all artificially stirred, which is called the "stock market bubble", and as soon as the wind blows, the bubble will burst and the stock price will fall. Our China can't compare with foreign countries, and the news of our Chinese businessmen can't catch up with the well-informed foreigners, once the rubber stock price falls, we can only suffer big losses in the end. Mr. Ministry. In fact, this stock exchange was established from the beginning. I pay special attention to this bubble problem, our China is a poor country, unlike foreign countries that can withstand the toss, if the original establishment of this stock exchange is just to cheat money from the pockets of businessmen, then it is better not to build, once the businessmen are bitten by snakes, they will be afraid of the well rope in the future.

Speaking of which, Zhao Bei was very emotional, before the crossing, he had worked hard in the stock market for a short period of time, and bought a lot of professional books for this, it was from those books that he saw the stock market crash that should have happened on the eve of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the rubber stock market crash not only made the big Chinese businessmen lose their money, but also further shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule, the reason why the constitutionalists came to the side after the revolution to plane the Qing Dynasty wall, that line, the "imperial cabinet" is a political reason, Many members of the constitutionalist faction are businessmen, and businessmen may not be politically concerned with the imperial court, but if their economy is damaged, they will not be so easy to talk about, although the Qing Dynasty is not directly responsible for the rubber stock market crash, but the businessmen need to vent their anger.

Originally, Zhao Bei may not have been able to think of such a thing, but just a few days ago he stumbled upon this information when he was reviewing the social intelligence briefing sent by the intelligence department, and he immediately remembered the rubber stock market crash in history, so he decided to intervene in history to help Chinese businessmen avoid major losses, so that they can have enough funds and confidence to invest in the industrial construction that China needs most, instead of using this money to buy a few pieces of waste paper from foreign companies.

Rubber stock speculation was overheated, which directly led to poor financing for steel mills and imitation weaving mills, so. This is not only a financial defensive war, but also a financial offensive war, Zhao Bei wants to seize food and concentrate the funds in the hands of Chinese businessmen on the most appropriate industries in China.

But it is not easy to get hot-headed businessmen to stop buying seriously overvalued rubber stocks, which require the full support of the financial community, and economic problems are best solved by economic means, and executive orders are the most clumsy means.

More importantly, many foreign rubber companies are located in the concession in Shanghai, and Zhao Bei does not currently have the power to control the stock trading there. Only the merchants had the power to make a financial blockade against foreign companies in the concessions.

In China, the most important local financial industry is not the bank, but the old-style bank, and in the process of the rubber stock market bubble, these old-style money banks played a very important role, and after the bubble burst, the most serious losses were also these money-banks, many century-old brands collapsed, China's old-style money banks also officially declined, after that, banks can be regarded as the real dominance of China's financial industry.

This person is not only very familiar with the emerging financial industry, but also has a good reputation in the old-style money bank, and this is the main reason why Zhao Bei chose this person to serve as the commander-in-chief of the enemy before the financial blockade war.

Avoiding losses for Chinese businessmen was certainly the main reason why Zhao Bei launched this financial war. But on the other hand, if we can use this opportunity to unite the loose forces of China's financial industry, we may not be able to make a big profit from this international rubber speculation.
