Chapter 897: Two Wars on
This is Tianjin, the most important commercial port in northern China, Hebei, Rehe, Chahar, Zhixi, Henan and other provinces of native products and industrial products are re-exported trade by Tianjin, in the same way, foreign goods imported from Tianjin are also transferred to various places by Tianjin Railway Station, Tianjin is the commercial hub of North China, economic hub.
As a commercial city, Tianjin's exhibition is quite fast, the vitality of the city is very vigorous, and it is adapted to the modernization of municipal construction, in order to build a new modern commercial city, the central government spared no expense to recruit urban construction planning, various municipal construction blueprints at home and abroad for this commercial city in North China to outline a fascinating modern picture, the current Tianjin has been a few years ago Tianjin is completely two concepts, low and old houses are gradually replaced by high-rise buildings, Narrow, damp alleys are gradually being replaced by wide, well-drained modern roads, which illuminate the increasingly "foreign" city with its long line of bright lights every night.
It is undeniable that many Tianjin people are somewhat nostalgic for the old Tianjin, but in the face of the rapid changes in the city, most citizens are also willing to accept new things, such as new traffic rules, new health facilities, new cultural and leisure methods, new ways of interpersonal communication, in the face of many new things, innovation finally defeated conservatism, advanced finally defeated backwardness.
This is a new era, people in this era must also learn to adapt to this rapid modernization, people who can't keep up with the times can't change their situation, this era, whether rich or poor, have seen the dawn ahead.
As a new Tianjin. Tram stops, which are an important part of municipal regulations, are now ubiquitous, and where there are tram stops, you can see newspaper vendors, and in such crowded places. As long as you're smart enough and follow the rules, you'll be able to find a way to make money.
At a tram stop, several newspaper vendors are soliciting business, selling freshly printed newspapers.
"Extra! Extra! The South Seas War broke out! ”
"Extra! Extra! The Chinese fleet and the Dutch fleet fought fiercely in the South Seas! The South Seas War broke out! ”
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs table announcement! Strongly condemn the atrocities of the Dutch colonial authorities in abusing and killing expatriates! ”
"The central government has officially severed diplomatic relations with the Netherlands!"
"The Italian government has announced a mid-war situation between China and the Netherlands
"The German government regrets the start of the war between China and the Netherlands. And decided to bureau
Amid the shouts of newspaper sellers, whether it was passengers waiting for the train at the tram stop or pedestrians passing by, they all stepped forward, felt out the banknotes, and bought a freshly published daily newspaper, and the Chinese of this era are also more and more concerned about the current situation. Because we have understood that the current situation is not only related to the interests of the country, but also related to the interests of individuals, and the more people who deal with business, the more important they are to this situation. A middle-aged man in a long shirt and a top hat walked up to a newspaper vendor, bought a newspaper from the vendor, then turned and hurried away, crossed the street, walked back to a Chinese car, and handed the newspaper through the window.
Sitting in the back of the car, he took the newspaper from the butler's hand and eagerly studied the eye-catching headline on the front page, which was the news of the war between China and the Dutch fleet.
The butler, who had gone to buy the newspaper, then got into the car. After closing the car door, he said to the Ministry Tingbi: "Master, as soon as this Nanyang war, I am afraid that the price of rubber will rise again." ”
Ministry Tingbi nodded, quite proud.
"Fortunately, we paid attention to rubber futures yesterday. This time it's a big profit again. ”
The butler said, "Thanks to the clever young master. The old man handed over the futures business to the eldest young master to take care of, which is considered to be the right person. ”
"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, last year he made a lot of losses in rubber, and now he has grown a little bit, but he can't be praised too much, this futures business is about three points of talent, seven points of luck, and family background is also very important."
When Bu Tingbi said this, he instructed the driver to drive, and the car quickly left the tram station and headed for Xujia Garden, followed by several escort cars full of bodyguards.
Bu Tingbi came from the stock exchange, but he didn't participate in the transaction in person, so naturally the agent did it for him, he was purely there to see the excitement. When the market opened this morning, a thrilling stock war was immediately staged in the stock exchange, and well-informed businessmen immediately sold off those stocks that might fall, and at the same time bought a large number of stocks that might rise. There is no doubt that all stocks related to the war industry are bullish, and all stocks that will be affected by the war are bearish. Between this rise and fall, I don't know how many people have become poor in an instant, and how many people have become rich in an instant.
As early as late last night, the Belli Ocean naval battle between the Chinese fleet and the Dutch fleet had just ended, and Gang Tingbi learned from his partners that China and the Netherlands had officially started the war, and the person who told him the news was none other than the former President of the Republic of China, Xu Shichang, who was the spiritual leader of the Beiyang Foundation, and the relationship network of the Beiyang Consortium was very huge. So I was able to get relevant news from the Admiralty as soon as possible
The decisive battle on the stock exchange is just ten minutes after the market opens, who has the inside information. Whoever has mastered the secret of financial speculation.
It is undeniable that this kind of insider trading undermines the principle of fairness in financial transactions and is also expressly prohibited by the Central Committee, but after all, it cannot be completely eradicated. The Beiyang consortium has also done a very clever job, so it is legally difficult for the businessmen involved in this morning's stock war to be convicted.
The stock exchange, in a sense, is a legitimate place for financial gambling, and certain merchants can also gain an advantage by cheating. Bu Tingbi participated in this morning's gamble through his agent, and in just half an hour, the net worth of their Bu family increased by at least 20% between the coming and going of equity. And he was able to withdraw in time and get out of the "battlefield" Now, he is ready to rush to Xujia Garden, personally visit Xu Shichang, and when he passed by the tram stop, he saw that the newspaper seller was finally shouting the news of the war between China and the Netherlands, so he specially ordered the driver to stop. Asked the housekeeper to get out of the car and buy a newspaper for him, to see how far the information Xu Shichang had and the official news announced by the center was, and to re-estimate the influence of the Beiyang Consortium in the political circles, so as to find out the truth for further cooperation in the future.
Now it seems that the intelligence held by Xu Shichang and the Beiyang Consortium is very accurate, and they even know that the Nanyang Detachment sank at least four warships of the Dutch Navy in the naval battle last night, obviously. The insider of the Beiyang Consortium in the Admiralty should be a high-ranking general, at least he can get in touch with the relevant battle reports at the first time.
Although the Ministry of Ting Bi didn't know how much benefit the Beiyang Consortium had given to the insider, at least he knew one thing very well, the insider was already suspected of leaking military secrets, and if someone was caught, the military court would not spare him, no matter how high his military rank was.
However, Zou Tingbi also understands that since Xu Shichang dares to send someone to give him a message, it means that the Beiyang Consortium has made proper arrangements, even if the insider is exposed, he will not pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and Xu Shichang will definitely not be implicated, otherwise. The glorious image of the former president as "away from politics" may fall short.
There is no way, no matter how far away from politics it is impossible not to be affected by politics, Xu Shichang is now wholeheartedly running the industry, transferring all his political enthusiasm to the industry, and when he encounters a big deal that makes money, he will naturally not let it go easily, and he also deliberately pulled the chaebol with the extraordinary relationship with President Zhao, the intention is also obvious, that is, to share the risk.
This point, Ministry Tingbi is also very clear, but he still decided to rush to Xu's garden to set up a set with Xu Shichang, and now the coal war between the Beiyang Consortium and the Hannagen Consortium is already tense, at this time. It is indeed necessary for the financial junctor of the Ministry of Finance to personally explore the truth and decide which side to stand on in this coal war.
The reason why Xu Shichang deliberately sent someone to send inside information to the ministry is only afraid that one of the reasons is also the purpose of showing goodwill, and now the Southeast Industrial Group with Zhang Han as the head of the group is between the Beiyang consortium and the Hannagan consortium, and no one knows what the idea is, so Xu Shichang simply pulled the ministry over, although theoretically speaking, the ministry also belongs to the southeast chaebol, but the problem is that his relationship with Zhang Han is very general, and the two are rivals in the competition in the banking industry. Therefore, the Beiyang Consortium will win over Zou Tingbi through Xu Shichang, and the benefits will be sufficient, and he is not afraid that the Ministry Tingbi will not appreciate it.
Ministry Tingbi really understands it, but he hasn't decided which side to support yet, anyway, when the time comes.
The car quickly arrived at Xujia Garden, parked in the parking lot, Bu Tingbi got out of the car, looked left and right, and saw several other cars, including Zhongyang, two of which are owned by the owner of the Ministry Tingbi is also clear, but it seems that there are not many people who come to Xujia Garden to gather today, and they are all really big
gram
The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion led Zou Tingbi to the living room, and Xiao Xu Shichang personally greeted him, and the guests who came to the party also joined in the fun, including two Japanese.
One of the Japanese is named Kamezo Nishihara. The two men rushed to Xujia Garden with Wang Yitang, president of the Association for the Promotion of Sino-Japanese Friendly Relations, in order to hand over a contract to Xu Shichang, according to which the Beiyang Foundation would receive the full support of the Japanese chaebol in this coal war.
However, Xu Shichang has not yet decided whether to sign this contract, he needs to convene several brain figures of the Beiyang Consortium to negotiate, and the few people who rushed to the Xu Mansion today are the brains of the Beiyang Consortium, Feng Guozhang, Zhou Xuexi, Zhu Qifeng and others are impressively listed, and the wealth in the hands of these people is enough to affect the entire strategy of the Beiyang Consortium. In the Beiyang Consortium, these people are the ones who speak the most
Measure.
Although in terms of total wealth, the Ministry of Tingbi can not be compared with the Beiyang Consortium, but compared with the Beiyang forces that are still being monitored by the center, the Ministry of Tingbi has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the relationship with the Presidential Palace, so, for the arrival of the Ministry of Tingbi, all the Beiyang chaebols are very honored, in their opinion, as long as the Ministry of Tingbi shows its support position, the Beiyang Consortium can be in this coal with the hostile consortium
A Nanyang war, a coal war, both wars, the Beiyang consortium wanted to see the news of victory.
