Chapter 237: The Dilemma and the Solution
(Everyone rest assured to read, the harem stallion Wen and this book have no fate, by the way, help the end of the Qing Dynasty to vote for a recommendation, the data is a little ugly, thank you... )
"See the Governor!"
The person who came was Zhou Jinzhen, the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, a tycoon in the business world, wearing Western-style clothes and braids dragging behind his head when he entered the door, which reminded Ye Kai of the title of "fake foreign devil", but it has long been commonplace in and around Shanghai to dress up like this.

"President Zhou, sit down." Ye Kai waved his hand.
Zhou Jinzhen sat down, and he didn't do anything more to be polite, Cai Naihuang and Li Pingshu had asked him before he came, this new governor doesn't like to listen to people's nonsense, just say anything straightforwardly.
Zhou Jinzhen cleared his throat and replied slowly: "The stock trend is getting worse and worse, affecting the major banks in Shanghai, in the past few days, the money village has closed down more than ten companies one after another due to the inability to make ends meet, with assets of more than 7 million taels, in addition, there are dozens of companies are also in debt, if there is no foreign exchange charge, bankruptcy is just around the corner, Shanghai is in great trouble!" Your Excellency can know that the financial exchange is the foundation of Shanghai, if the bank merchant falls, then Shanghai will not be far away, just at this time of internal and external difficulties, please ask the Lord of Taiwan to ask the imperial court in Beijing, dial the silver to save the city..."
Zhou Jinzhen said and spoke, his words became excited, as a businessman who has been in business for half a generation, he has encountered the Shanghai financial disaster not once or twice, but if it is really compared with this time, it is really a small thing, whether it is scale or scope, it is unprecedented, if there is no outside help, it is difficult to survive by relying on the support of Shanghai's local capital alone, and once these big money banks, foreign banks will take advantage of the situation to completely annex the Chinese market and control China's financial lifeline, which brings harm, He knows much better than Cai Naihuang.
Of course, Ye Kai didn't know it, but he was a little disappointed, speaking of which, he was still here to pour bitter water, counting on the imperial court to open his pockets and scatter silver, don't even think about it, the reason is also very understandable, the disaster is your own fault, why do you want the central court to pay, at least, it will be difficult to survive this pass.
"These governors know that they are nothing more than borrowing money to make money, borrowing from the central government, borrowing from the local government, borrowing from foreigners... No, it's still borrowed? Ye Kai said this deliberately, testing his tone, "If you can borrow two million pounds from the British, French, American, and Japanese banks in Shanghai, won't the difficulty be solved?" ”
"My lord, don't borrow from foreigners!" Zhou Jinzhen suddenly said loudly, "Finance is not as good as railways and factories, but it is a sharp weapon for making money, a profitable business, if you are greedy for temporary enjoyment now, you will definitely be controlled by others in the future!" You can't sell finance by selling anything! ”
Zhou Jinzhen danced with his hands, his emotions were abnormal, Cai Naihuang and Li Pingshu were all shocked, and he was busy hinting with his eyes that he should not make a mistake in front of the governor, but Zhou Jinzhen couldn't take care of it so much, he was already an old man in the sixtieth century, and he could tell what priorities were in Shanghai for decades.
"Well said!"
Ye Kai patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, "These two sentences are really insightful, President Zhou, the governor you said has long been clear in his heart, the people are rich, the country is strong, this economy is to put it bluntly, it is business, and finance is a business in business, when the governor was in the capital, he once said to the regent that finance saves the country, urges the reorganization of Shanxi ticket number, and prepares for the establishment of Shanxi Banking Head Office, and now he has met a bosom friend." ”
"Shanxi Bank Head Office?" Hearing this, Zhou Jinzhen was shocked again, "Is it advocated by adults?" ”
"Exactly!" Ye Kaidao.
Listening to Ye Kai's guarantee, Zhou Jinzhen couldn't believe it, he was still thinking: who had the foresight, and actually revitalized the ticket number that was on the verge of bankruptcy, it turned out that Ye Kai's vision was very old-fashioned, according to the route he planned, Shanxi ticket number fully shrunk the business force, but the Yangtze River, concentrate on doing big things, and march towards the central and western regions and northeast where foreign capital is weak, under the management of Zheng Guanying, in less than two years, the bank turned losses into profits, and at the end of the year, it surpassed the China Merchants Bank under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Bank of Communications of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Become the second largest state-owned bank after Daqing Bank, those old ticket number owners have also become one of the most powerful capital groups Who would have thought that the declining Shanxi Pingyao City turned out to be radiant and became the premier financial metropolis in central China, these are only temporary, according to Ye Kai's next plan, Shanxi Bank Head Office must break through the geographical limitations, and after the development and growth, it may be able to compete with foreign bank groups, of course, this point in time is still far away.
Zhou Jinzhen already knew in his heart that this governor was by no means a general person who did not understand finance, so he had a little hope in his heart, "Then the lord also agrees with the method of saving the market?" "As it stands, there is no other way but to ask the central government for help.
"Well, I'm thinking about it." Ye Kai hesitated.
"Your Excellency..."
Zhou Jinzhen wanted to speak and stopped, and said in his heart, what else is there to think about, the local money bank is on the verge of life and death, and the huge debt owed will have to increase the interest one day later, which is equivalent to saying that the difficulties have increased, and in desperation, he is anxious on his face.
Naturally, he wouldn't know Ye Kai's thoughts, now that Yi-Liang is the prime minister of the cabinet, not to mention that Ye Kai has a deep personal grudge with him, even if it has nothing to do with it, when it comes to the interests between the court and the businessmen, Yi-Liang will definitely stand on the front side.
"President Zhou, don't be in a hurry." Ye Kai glanced at the two people next to him, "Cai Daotai, Director Li." ”
"The lower official is here!" When the two heard this, they replied in unison.
"Then inform all the money banks involved on one side, if you want to get relief, you must come to the Governor's Office Ceremony Hall at three o'clock in the afternoon, the owner, the manager will come, if you wait and see, after the bailout official money comes down, there will be no penny from them." Ye Kai gave the order to die.
"Yes!" The two of them glanced at the faces of the master of the stage, and they both shuddered a little, thinking that they were really angry, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Also..."
Ye Kai stood up, looked at the three people in the living room, and said with a hint of mystery: "At the meeting, the governor has to announce a major event, don't be too surprised when the three of you come." ”
Event? What kind of big thing would surprise people?
The thoughts of the three of them flew over in their hearts, and when they guessed, they saw that the master had already hurried upstairs. (To be continued.) )
