Section 1 Legal Tender (4)

Kong Xiangxi's mansion is in Building 11, Tietangchi, where the Ministry of Finance is located, and the Ministry of Finance is on this road.

After getting out of the car, Mei Yuntian pushed Zhang Jingjiang into the living room under the guidance of the servant, and a middle-aged woman with a luxurious temperament greeted her, and she smiled before she could speak, like a spring breeze blowing across your face: "Brother Ade, Mr. Jingjiang, please, please." ”

Of course, these three people will not be confused by her smile, and they will never treat her as an ordinary high-ranking lady, this woman's eyes in the shopping mall are ruthless and spicy, and in recent years, Shanghai Beach has inexplicably fallen in her hands, and most people don't know whose hands they are planted in. Mei Yuntian saw that her eyes turned to herself, so she smiled first: "Auntie, every time I see you, I feel that you are young again." ”

Song Ailing smiled slightly, in the end, she came back from the United States, and even complimenting women is American: "You kid, every time you don't invite, you don't come, come in." ”

"My aunt and uncle are very busy, so I don't dare to disturb them easily," Mei Yuntian explained with a smile: "Besides, I am in a hurry every time, and I don't have much time to stay in Nanjing and Shanghai." ”

Kong Xiangxi got up from the sofa, and his face seemed to always have a smile on his face: "Brother Ade, Mr. Jingjiang, Shaoqing, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

"I said Ai Ling, you have been amazing in the past few years, Seven Star Company is getting more and more prosperous, Shanghai Beach; The old brothers are envious of Yongzhi having a good daughter-in-law. Zhang Jingjiang said with a smile.

The behind-the-scenes leader of the Seven Star Company is the graceful and noble Song Ailing, and before Kong Xiangxi could speak, Song Ailing was the first to laugh and said: "Mr. Jingjiang said that it was funny, my small company has your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, you see that it has only been less than two years, and your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China controls half of Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles." ”

"Mr. Jingjiang, you fought beautifully in this battle of Siming, and I am convinced to lose." These people are not outsiders, they are very familiar with each other, so Kong Xiangxi did not shy away from it, and directly told the body protection.

"Yongzhi, I'm just doing Brother Ade a favor in the matter of Siming." Zhang Jingjiang said half-truthfully.

"This is true, I came forward to persuade my fellow villagers in Ningbo to pay for Siming Bank, and now most of the shareholders are still Ningbo villagers, they found me, I can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, so I found Jingjiang, I don't have so much money to fill this hole." Yu Qiaqing also easily rounded the topic.

"Oh, hehe, so that's the case, I still thought it was the one in Yucheng who was happy to see the hunt and couldn't help but intervene on the beach." Kong Xiangxi seems to be always smiling when he speaks, but if you take his laughter as sincere, then you may be fooled, the implicit flavor in his words is too strong, and you have to think about it carefully.

"Cultural Revolution, he didn't know about it, I told him afterwards." Zhang Jingjiang knows very well that Shanghai Tang looks quite big, but he can't hide anything from a real top person, and his relationship with Zhuang Jihua is not a secret at all.

"It's strange to say, Kai-shek and Meiling both admire Zhuang Wenge, I'm becoming more and more interested in him, I have the opportunity to go to Yucheng to meet him, is Youlan still in Yucheng?" Song Ailing's smile was still the same, but her words were sharp and implied, Zhuang Jihua unceremoniously rejected Seven Star Company several times, and finally although he handed over the sales right of penicillin in Shanghai to Seven Star Company, the share began to decline, North and Liangguang, and finally even Central China was also stripped out, which made Seven Star Company's income drop significantly.

Mei Yuntian knew very well that the Seven Star Company exported most of these penicillin, and the one who bought these drugs was actually the Ito Trading Company, which had a close relationship with the military, which made Zhuang Jihua very dissatisfied, and he issued a warning to the Seven Star Company, but the Seven Star Company actually quibbled, Zhuang Jihua was angry and wanted to cancel their qualifications directly, but in the end they were dissuaded by Li Zhilong and Yu Peidi, they thought that it was not the time to turn their faces with Kong Xiangxi, so they dissuaded Zhuang Jihua, but the share was definitely going to be reduced, And once again, they were reminded that penicillin was not allowed to be exported.

"She is now more and more interested in running a newspaper, working as a reporter and editor-in-chief, and occasionally fighting pen battles with others, so busy and happy." Mei Yuntian said with a smile.

"It's really hard for this kid." Song Ailing sighed.

Mei Yuntian also smiled bitterly, no one could talk to her about this issue, it would explode as soon as she touched it, but she ran to the base more diligently.

After a few people talked and laughed at dinner, no one asked them what they were invited to do during this period, as if they were here to eat, and Kong Xiangxi and his wife didn't say a word.

After eating, a few people sat in the living room drinking coffee, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing exchanged glances, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Ade, Mr. Jingjiang, everyone sitting here is your own people, let's tell the truth, what other thoughts do you have about the implementation of fiat currency?" ”

Yu Qiaqing and Zhang Jingjiang glanced at each other slightly, the decades of friendship between them, this glance knew each other's thoughts, Zhang Jingjiang pondered, and then said: "What is the purpose of implementing fiat currency?" I thought it was to unify the domestic currency and put an end to the chaotic currency value. But this is only one aspect, and the deeper reason is the preparation for war, which was drawn in the economic discussions organized by the Committee on Resources. Starting from this broad topic, it is necessary to consider the impact of wartime on finances and the fiscal policy during war. ”

"The biggest possibility of war is inflation, currency depreciation," Mei Yuntian interjected at this time, Zhang Jingjiang frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, he was too anxious, but now he couldn't stop it, Mei Yuntian continued: "There is another problem in this, the enemy is strong and I am weak, we will inevitably lose many places, including the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where wealth is most concentrated, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in national fiscal revenue, but a significant increase in expenditure, so the most common mistake we make is to issue more currency, which is also the easiest means to obtain funds to support the war." China said that the war will be protracted and arduous, and if the amount of additional currency issued is too large, the consequences will be very serious. If the fiat currency is allowed to depreciate, it will inevitably deal a great blow to the credit of the political axe, which will then affect the confidence of the people in supporting the war of resistance, so I think we should design a set of risk prevention mechanisms from now on. ”

Kong Xiangxi's smile disappeared, and he pondered, putting aside political factors, Kong Xiangxi is not incompetent. He is a serious Yale University economics master, by no means a Claydon University graduate, in that era can be regarded as an elite, he immediately understood what Mei Yuntian meant, what is this prevention mechanism? It was to guard against Chiang Kai-shek, and it was by no means a mechanism to guard against him Kong Xiangxi.

Although Song Ailing is shrewd, she is still a little worse in terms of political sensitivity, she didn't think of this, so she frowned and said: "This is too far, no one can say when the war will be fought." Although Foreign Minister Hirota has openly claimed that there will be no war between China and China during his term of office, and Prime Minister Okada is also suppressing the forces of the military department, I think that relations will ease up, and there should be no fighting within five years. ”

Mei Yuntian said lightly: "If you can't fight within five years, then thank God." To be honest, I really don't want to go to war in five years. ”

"It is not up to us to decide whether to fight or not, if we want to fight, we have no choice," Zhang Jingjiang said lightly, the development of the situation in North China in the past two years has made Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing more and more convinced of Zhuang Jihua's words at the beginning, they only have five to eight years to prepare, and now the fourth year is almost over, if it is fast, war will break out next year.

"Estimate the worst, work for the best." Mei Yuntian said: "The Cultural Revolution in the 21st year of the Republic of China has a judgment, the fastest five years, the slowest eight years, the outbreak of the war, now three and a half years have passed, that is to say, we still have two years to prepare at the earliest, and only five years at the slatest." ”

"It seems that the Zhuang Cultural Revolution has had a deep impact on you," a smile appeared on Kong Xiangxi's face again, and he said slowly, "Then how do you think such a mechanism should be established?" ”

"You can imitate the United States," Mei Yuntian said in front of Zhang Jingjiang again, but Zhang Jingjiang interrupted him this time and said slowly: "China has a situation in China, don't think about the United States in everything." ”

Yu Qiaqing also immediately said: "Jingjiang is right, we don't know what to do, but there is such a concern to you, if you think it makes sense, report to the chairman, and then come up with a way, we three stinkers can't be Zhuge Liang." ”

"Hehe, Brother Ade is modest, they are all his own people, what do you have to say, do you have any concerns?" Kong Xiangxi persuaded with a smile.

Song Ailing was a little unhappy, Mei Yuntian used Zhuang Jihua's words to refute his five-year view, which made her feel very uncomfortable, which was usually touted by Guan, at this moment she snorted softly, Kong Xiangxi immediately reined in enthusiasm, Song Ailing said lightly: "Yuntian, finish speaking, say half hide and half hide." ”

Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing's words had already alerted Mei Yuntian, and he felt a little reckless today, so Song Ailing didn't dare to say more at his urging: "This is my personal idea, I am thinking about whether I can learn from the American system and set up an institution similar to the Federal Reserve to control the issuance of currency." ”

"You grew up in the United States," Kong Xiangxi shook his head lightly and said: "Yuntian, the Federal Reserve also issues currency according to the order of the American political axe, he has no way to restrain the American political axe, and the only thing that can restrain the American political axe is the Finance Committee of the U.S. Congress. ”

Mei Yuntian smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "Uncle is right, I think it's wrong." ”

But he didn't let him go when he was free, and still asked in the conversation, but Mei Yuntian refused to spit out half a point, and Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing helped in time, and it was easy to fool the couple over.

After leaving the Kong family, Mei Yuntian's mood was a little low, and after a long time, Zhang Jingjiang said to him lightly: "Do you know what mistake you made today?" ”

To make up for yesterday's update, this section is a bit difficult to write, and I feel like I'm being trapped.
