A gentle breeze caresses the face. Asahi 4 Dongsheng. The sun shines all over the earth. It makes people feel warm all over their bodies

A small Ford car was blowing in the wind, and the tail of the car was curled up with a faint dust, and it was bouncing along the potholed road, followed closely by a group of knights, but they were not wearing military uniforms.

On the hood of the Ford car was a radium-gold flagpole more than a foot long, with a five-sè flag on the top, a thousand symbols that simply and plainly identified the passenger in the car: he was a high-ranking official of the republican zhèngfǔ.

And this person is of a very high rank, because now there are not a few cars in the entire Wuhan area.

Li Yuanhong sat in this car, he is not only the speaker of the Hubei Assembly, but also the identity of the chief of civil affairs, now there is a saying, it is said that in the future, the military and the people will be separated, and the chief of civil affairs will be the chief in the future, and the original governors of the provinces will be renamed "overseers" and only take charge of the military, and this civil affairs will be handed over to the provincial governor.

However, as a person in the bureau, Li Yuanhong scoffed at this rumor, because this method of "division of military and civilian rule" was put forward by the North-South Peace Conference, and at present, Provisional President Yuan Shikai has not yet expressed his position, and many powerful factions in various places do not agree with this proposal, and Zhao Zhenhua, the governor of Hubei, is also noncommittal about this method, and in Sichuan, he proposed "division of military and civilian rule", but it is only a temporary measure. According to the commander-in-chief's view, the current period of "military administration" has not yet ended, and it is too early to talk about the division of military and civilian rule, and it is still necessary to concentrate power more efficiently.

As the chief of civil affairs, Li Yuanhong really wants to divide the military and the people, so that he can become a veritable civil affairs chief, but at the same time, he also knows very well in his heart that without the support of the commander-in-chief, there would be nothing about his Li Huangling, including this Ford car.

This car was sent by Zhao Bei to Speaker Li, and now among all the civil officials in Hubei, only Li Yuanhong is equipped with a car, and he is inexplicably grateful to the commander-in-chief's beautiful head Speaker Jǐng, sitting in the car, every time he recalls the feelings when he commanded the Qing army to fight against the republican army, he secretly rejoices that if he was not a person who knows the times as a handsome man, then he Li Moulu would not have the scenery he has today. %%Browser Input-8.%%

All this is thanks to the commander-in-chief, the Li family has nothing to repay, so they can only try to support the commander-in-chief in terms of civil affairs, but it is a pity that those young ladies in the Loei province are too young, otherwise, the speaker of the Li parliament would not mind further getting closer to the commander-in-chief, and Weng son-in-law will jointly take charge of the military and political affairs of this province in the future. That's also a political story.

As a lifelong event of the commander-in-chief, Speaker Li is also powerless. There is no way, the commander-in-chief can't look down on those vulgar fans, and others can't climb high if they want to.

In fact, the requirements of the commander-in-chief are not high, literate, virtuous, talented, beautiful, and young" It's just that there are really few such women in today's China.

I remembered the condition that the commander-in-chief had put forward when he joked with his subordinates in the officers' club. Li Yuanhong just smiled bitterly, the request of this revolutionary is special, and he, the real political chief, can't help.

Gathering his thoughts, Li Yuanhong noticed that the car had slowed down, and when he looked forward, the dock was already a black and oppressive area, and they were all provincial officials and their horses who had arrived in advance, and they saw the speaker's car coming, and they had consciously straightened their waists.

This car was only responsible for Wu Shi bite, and after crossing the river to Thirsty Hill, Li Yuanhong had to take a carriage, and the last period of rì guidance. Speaker Li was quite busy, on the one hand, the affairs of the House of Representatives in Wuchang, on the other hand, the reconstruction of the commercial port of Hankou, and now the commander-in-chief was busy with the reorganization of the Revolutionary Guards, and this civil affairs were completely left to the House and the Speaker, and only the financial power was still firmly grasped in his hands and refused to relax.

Today rì crossed the river to Hankou, just to attend the opening of a stock exchange, one

This stock exchange is the first stock exchange in China's history, and in today's China, even cities like Shanghai do not have formal securities trading institutions, and the shares held by Shanghai businessmen are usually held in teahouses.

There is no doubt that in terms of finance, Wuhan is ahead of the country.

This stock exchange was personally ordered by the commander-in-chief to be established, not only to set a precedent for the times, but also for an extremely practical purpose: to complete the restructuring of the Hanzhiping Company through this securities trading institution, to extract the value of Hanye Jiang's shares to the greatest extent, and the shares of the Sigang Salt Industry Trust can also be issued here, and if it is necessary to issue public bonds in the future. It is also possible to go through this institution, and if this stock exchange can develop. This in itself is also a fiscal revenue, and can even be used for financial cāo longitudinal.

Since taking the Hanyeping Company from Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhao Bei has become the largest shareholder of this Die-Iron Complex, of course he can't take this company for himself, that would damage his prestige and image, this company is actually entrusted by the Military Minister's Finance Department, and the specific reason for the operation is that the Finance Department entrusts a committee composed of heads of various departments of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, but due to the company's financial problems, it is currently only maintained with the minimum output to protect the blast furnace.

Zhao Bei has always planned to liquidate Han Yeping's shares to solve the financial problems of the army. In the previous paragraph, the situation was unstable and could not be sold for a good price, compared to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the end of the war between him and the Chengguo. Seeing that it seemed to be about to be peaceful, coupled with the Republican Army's pro-industry and commerce's stance, many businessmen inquired about the expansion of Han Yeping's company. In the past, the Qing court planned to turn Hanye Jiang into a complete commercial enterprise, but it was taken advantage of by the insects in the officialdom and turned it into a detrimental business to the public. Thankfully, the IRA moved quickly, otherwise. I am afraid that this enterprise will become the private property of a few compradors.

Since the businessmen were so enthusiastic, the commander-in-chief also pushed the boat along the river and officially published a notice in the newspaper in the name of the army, announcing that the continuation of the work of expanding the shares of the Hanyeping Company would be carried out, and that businessmen from any province would be able to become shareholders of China's largest iron and steel company and enjoy all the rights of shareholders as long as they were willing to pay money.

According to estimates, if the share expansion is completed, Han Yeping Company will earn at least 20 million silver yuan for the Republican Army, which is a conservative estimate, in fact, in Zhao Bei's view, if Cāo does well, it will not be a problem to earn 40 million silver yuan.

Before crossing into this era, Zhao Bei also worked hard in the stock market for a short period of time. Although the stocks he bought were finally trapped, but it also let him see the **** means in the financial market, the stock exchange is a good place for financial giants to feast on white wolves, and because of the "above board" of this investment method. "Those who enter the market can only be willing to gamble and lose.

Hence the emergence of the stock exchange in Hankow.

Duo Guo Zhao Bei does not intend to plunder Li Hanyeping's shareholders through this stock exchange, he just wants to sell Hanyeping at a good price as much as possible, after all, this company is China's few vertical industrial base, and the road to a strong country in the future is inseparable from steel and coal. "Industry to save the country" cannot just stop at slogans. All the military has to do is protect those who are willing to invest in the industry and recommend that they provide a place where they can compete on a level playing field.

There is competition to make progress, the stock exchange is a suitable place for industrial competition, through which not only can promote the flow of capital, but also can be used to carry out the restructuring of industrial enterprises, change the conservative thinking cake in the traditional business of Zhongxian County, so that the horizons of Chinese businessmen are broadened, in order to meet the fierce competition in the world.

Considering that he is not a financial expert, Zhao Bei sensibly chose an agent to manage and operate this securities trading institution, after the first meeting of Han Yeping's stock red meeting a few days ago, those shareholders did not leave, but immediately set up a catty, preparatory committee, while liquidating Han Yeping capital. While sending telegrams from Shanghai, many foreign businessmen and compradors were invited to discuss the preparations for the stock exchange, and the Hankou Money Association soon joined the preparatory committee, so that the preparatory work went smoothly.

Yesterday the Preparatory Committee handed over to the Commander-in-Chief a letter of resignation. It was thought that a stock exchange could be established, and that the first stock to be traded was the shares of Han Yeping, according to their proposals. The shares held by the Treasury Department should be divided into 500,000 shares, and each share should be preliminarily set at 50 yen, for a total of 25 million yuan, which is exactly equal to the present total capital of the Governor of the Lord.

Although this IPO was a bit different from Zhao Bei's expectations, the commander-in-chief, considering the urgency of the current financial issues, quickly approved the IPO plan and suggested the establishment of a stock exchange immediately.

The General Reserve Committee completed all the preparation work with rare efficiency, and because of its simplicity, the Manchūn Tea Garden in Hankou was bought by the Hankou Money Industry Association and became the office and trading place of the Securities Moyi Exchange. On the opening day, celebrities from all walks of life are invited to watch the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will be presided over by the commander-in-chief himself.

For such a new thing as the stock exchange, Li Yuanhong is also a little foggy, and the only bit of knowledge comes from the conversation between the former Duan and the preparatory committee, but since the commander-in-chief is very interested, he can't be left behind as the chief of civil affairs. Therefore, when he learned that the commander-in-chief would personally cut the ribbon for the stock exchange, he issued a decree in his capacity as the chief civil officer, ordering all civil officials to gather at the scene to cheer for the commander-in-chief.

However, when Li Yuanhong led the civil officials to the stock exchange, they found that the commander-in-chief had not come. Only Jiang Fangzhen, deputy chief of the general staff of the Republican Army, came, and there were almost senior staff officers, and there were only a few representatives from military circles.

"Speaker Lai, the commander-in-chief is busy. If you don't come here, you will order me to give a message, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony of this stock exchange will be done by the speaker of the Li parliament. Jiang Fangzhen walked to Li Yuanhong's side with a smile, and handed over this task to Li Yuanhong with a few words.

Li Yuanhong was stunned and said, "The establishment of China's first stock exchange is really a feat that opened a new era in the financial industry, how can the commander-in-chief not come?" ”

Not only was Speaker Li puzzled, but everyone at the scene was at a loss, for the sake of the stock exchange, the commander-in-chief has been busy recently. Even foreigners' newspapers praised him as "China's No. 1 financial company." "But now that the stock exchange is about to be officially established, why should he give up this opportunity to open a new era to others?

Ran Wei is the commander-in-chief and has more important things to do.
