Chapter 404: The Calm Before the Storm
The residence of Chen Yunqing, the owner of Zhengyuan Qianzhuang, is located on the main road and is a Western-style villa. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Yunqing is not only the proprietor of Zhengyuan Bank, but also the comprador of Yankee Lihua Bank. Because Lever Bank has a new big class, it is not compatible with him, because in recent days, his main energy has been working in the bank, and Qianzhuang's career cannot be taken care of too much, so it is handed over to a confidant Luo Fengchun to do.
Luo Fengchun is very capable and loyal, and he can be regarded as Chen Yunqing's right-hand man. When he ran to the Chen family's villa sweating profusely, no one dared to take it lightly.
The Chen family has three daughters and two men, and the two daughters are married without mentioning it, the eldest of the two sons, Chen Bailu, is obsessed with opening up the wisdom of the people, saving the souls of the people with civilized dramas, and ignoring the general affairs. Therefore, although Luo Fengchun repeatedly expressed his anxiety, no one could receive him.
It wasn't until an hour later that Chen Yunqing hurried back from the bank, took Luo Fengchun to the secret room and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you in a hurry to call me back? ”
"Master, I know you're busy, so I shouldn't alarm you. But if you hand over such a business to me, I want to be worthy of the trust of the owner. You paid another banker note yesterday to collect stocks, I took inventory in the store today, and found that our capital chain has reached a very tense point. The banker's ticket was issued with more than six million taels, far beyond our ability to pay. All our belongings combined, there is still a deficit of more than 1.5 million. Among them, the recent banker bills that were redeemed at sight exceeded 2 million. However, all the cash on the cabinet did not add up to more than 400,000, which was too dangerous. ”
Chen Yunqing listened attentively, "Then how many stocks are on our counter?" ”
"If you count stocks, there's no problem. Our Langezhi stock, if calculated in value, currently has a market capitalization of more than 11 million taels. I dare to suggest that the owner should sell some of the shares to cash out, otherwise...... It's so unsafe. You know, we even embezzled 2 million taels of money from Master Shi's money in our bank as a reserve for the issuance of bank bills, and then paid it to Citigroup and Lever Bank. As soon as the wind blows......"
Chen Yunqing smiled slightly, "Fengchun, you don't have to say it, the situation you mentioned, in fact, I have already considered it." But have you ever thought about it, what is the economy? ”
He pulled Luo Fengchun to the side, in this secret room, there was a mahogany chessboard, on which were densely packed with black and white chess pieces, a game of chess was in the middle of the game, black and white were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat. Luo Fengchun's chess strength is very high, and it can be seen that this game of chess is very dangerous, and if he makes a wrong move, it will lead to the overall defeat of one side. If you play against others, no matter which side you hold, it will be difficult to decide in a short period of time, and you don't know how to settle down.
Chen Yunqing picked up a white seed from the chessboard, "Feng Chun, you see, in the current situation, a white child seems to be insignificant, but if I take this white child away, what do you say?" ”
"Black wins."
"So what if I put it down and get another one?"
"Black will also win. At present, the situation between the two sides is a matter of comparison. No pawn can be easily given up, and every piece may affect the final outcome of the game. ”
"That's it. If you understand this, the rest will be easy to say. We are in the same situation as this game of chess. We have rubber stocks worth more than 10 million yuan, of which Langezhi's accounts for more than eighty percent. Now the whole Songjiang people are talking about one thing, when will the rubber stock rise on a large scale next time. I know that rubber stocks have been rising more slowly recently, but slowly, they are also rising. The speed of anything will change, and if it rises fast, it will stop and adjust, or even fall temporarily, which is called technical adjustment in the foreign stock market. It's like our martial artist boxing, punching too fast all the way may not necessarily be a good thing, but we have to stop and rest. But this time of rest is also the most dangerous time. Ordinary people don't understand the economy, they only know how to follow the trend, what are they? It's sheep. What are we? It's the shepherds, and we're going to walk with these sheep to a straight path. ”
He put the chess pieces back in, "Although my Zhengyuan can't be compared with the two big money houses of Yuanfengrun and Yishanyuan, but in Songjiang, I can also rank in the Sanding Jia." I don't know how many people, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, using me as a lantern. The red light illuminates the way, and wherever I go, they follow. What happens if we sell the stock at this time? Everyone will think that if the rubber stock is not good, it will be thrown out, and the stock price will go all the way out, and that is the real disaster. At that time, even if we want to sell, we can't find a buy. What are the consequences of that? ”
Luo Fengchun's forehead broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, he knew that the owner had staked all his life this time, and he wanted to gamble a lot of money. Success can be rich and rich, but once you fail, you will lose all your money. If it is really as Chen Yunqing expected, his own suggestion is tantamount to digging a pit and committing suicide, and there is no place to bury him.
Chen Yunqing said again: "You don't have to be afraid, I'll figure out a way for the funds, besides, except for foreigners, not everyone will come together to redeem the banker's bills." The three words of my Chen Yunqing are still useful in Songjiang, and everyone believes in my old Chen, and they will not come to collapse my platform together. When the stock rises again, I will ship it slowly and release the stock little by little, and then all the problems will be solved. I believe that this time will not be too long. ”
He has been in business for many years, his eyes are vicious, and he works as a comprador in a foreigner bank, so he is more well-informed than local businessmen, and when he speaks, it is natural for people to believe it. He said: "I am a money bank, and what I admire most is my predecessor Hu Guangyong. What was the most majestic thing about him back then? It's not a red-topped yellow coat and a horse ride in the Forbidden City, but that he can fight against foreigners and set the price of silk. Even if you lose, you are still honored. This time, we Songjiang Qianzhuang formed a line, adjusted positions with each other, and jointly held shares, which is to fight with Maibian and let foreigners know that we Chinese are powerful. He is engaged in finance in Songjiang to attract gold, so we have to dig a pit and bury this foreign devil in it, and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he knows that the money of the Chinese is not something that he foreigners can earn. The revenge of the Eight-Nation Alliance does not have to be avenged by swords and guns, but also by the economy. All of our money industries in Songjiang join forces, I don't believe it, we can't win a group of foreign devils. ”
Chen Yunqing's gaze is firm and high-spirited, and he has the general spirit of sweeping away the countries of Europa with a division of tigers and wolves. Luo Fengchun was also full of enthusiasm, and said with his chest straight: "Master...... I'll help you. ”
Both of them are good experts in the financial industry at this time, and they are also quite confident in this stock war. Although the stock market has risen slowly recently, it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning, and some foreigners have also begun to ship. But they believe that with Songjiang's huge financial resources, it is enough to hold the stock market and let the foreigners collapse here.
The wind blows gently outside, and the wind at the beginning of summer is very hot, which makes people's hearts restless. The wind swept all the way from Songjiang to Albion. On the streets of London, pedestrians look hurried, well-dressed gentlemen, and there are many dignified expressions on their faces. Financiers, bankers, and speculators, all stared at the newspaper in their hands with full attention, and repeatedly calculated on the calculation grass beside them, and they all realized a problem, although the rubber stock is rising, but the increase is really a little slow.
In Songjiang, on Yangshupu, Zou Xiurong, who was wearing a long skirt with a waist and mopping the floor and showing his arms, and held a parasol in his hand, tightly held Su Hanzhi, who was wearing a silk satin jacket, and pointed to the Shenghua Textile Factory on the side of the road with emotion as he walked. "Siyuan and I originally wanted to build such a textile factory. Only after the textile mill reaches this scale can it be possible to fight against the foreign cloth of the foreigners. It's a pity that the current Shenghua is also like this. ”
The gate of the factory was closed, and several guards were lazily leaning against the door, not hearing the roar of the machine, nor seeing the vehicles entering and exiting to transport raw materials and finished products, let alone anyone to negotiate business.
The reason is not difficult to analyze, the Shenghua factory is an official supervision and business office, and the main power is in the hands of the businessman directors. The price of Chinese cloth is high, and it is inferior to foreign cloth, and the business of the factory is not good. Now the stock makes a lot of money and the effect is fast, and the money from the bank is used to speculate in the stock, and the position is tight, resulting in no capital turnover in the factory. The directors of the merchants themselves are ineffective, some of the textile mills are already in arrears of wages, and the factories are half-dead. There are also some owners of small textile factories who simply learn to make stocks, or give money to Qian Zhuang to run on their behalf, play mahjong at home and drink flower wine, and wait for tickets to enter the door.
Two quite beautiful women, walking in an industrial area, is actually a very dangerous thing. But if it is followed by more than two dozen Cao gang thugs, it is a different matter. At first, the guards turned their eyes to the beautiful women dressed in two colors, but then, they quickly lowered their heads, and no one wanted to taste the taste of the short sticks and iron rulers in the hands of those Cao gang disciples.
Zhao Guanhou walked over from behind at this time, "Second sister-in-law, you can't take a fancy to Shenghua's machine, right?" I'm not sure I'll be able to talk about this business. ”
"I'm not confused, I naturally know that the machines here can't be bought. Your performance is already good, this time Songjiang did not come in vain, purchased a batch of textile machines for Shandong, and ordered a batch of low-cost raw materials, which is enough. ”
"Yes, Songjiang people have used their funds to speculate in stocks, all industries are sluggish, we only need to be willing to pay cash to buy machines, of course they like it. Besides, the raw materials of those suppliers cannot be sold when they are transported in, and the backlog is very lossy, so they can revitalize the funds by selling them to us. ”
Su Hanzhi said: "I think, it's more useful for you to borrow two apprentices from Boss Shen to support the field." As soon as they came out, it was easy to talk about any business. ”
The three of them laughed, and they all sighed with emotion, the harvest of this trip to Songjiang. Since the entire Songjiang capital has been invested in the stock market, the funds in the market have dried up, and the operation of all walks of life has appeared in one way or another. The payment cannot be settled, and the things cannot be sold. While countless people are dreaming of making a fortune, some people are suffering the cruel blow of reality and don't know what to do.
Zhao Guanhou was willing to buy them with cash, which was equivalent to saving the lives of these people, and he naturally had to bear the bargain price. What's more, there are still Cao Gang people standing behind them, and some people can only accept it with tears considering the power of Boss Shen.
Shen Baosheng's face really can't be saved, the problem is not with Zhao Guanhou, but with his juniors. Zhao Guanhou's foreign guns have been contacted and shipped at a price of 30 yuan per spear, but he has already dispatched all the guns here, but he can't get the money there. It is said that it was the entire payment, and it was bought into a stock by his little brother.
This time, Shen Baosheng was caught in the middle, losing a lot of face, although Zhao Guanhou didn't say anything, but was kind enough to appease, but the more this happened, the more he felt unhappy in his heart. What lives on the rivers and lakes is face, the other party gives himself face, and he can't give the other party face, so how can he mix it up, what kind of snake is it called?
Moreover, Zhao Guanhou's strength had already made Shen Baosheng a little afraid. Originally, Songjiang had its own system, and because of the relationship between the earliest opening of the port, it was deeply entangled with foreigners, and it was not necessarily too afraid of Daikin officials. Especially Zhao Guanhou, a governor of Shandong, Shen Baosheng may not care much.
But as a few days passed, the news he got had already dazzled him a little bit, and Cai Huang of Songjiang Province and several consuls in the concession were all good friends of him. In the wheat side of Songjiang, which is in the limelight, I have a hot fight with him. Even Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, is also his old acquaintance, and the two are said to have a very good personal relationship (in fact, Yuan Weiting has a good personal relationship, and Shen Baosheng's news is wrong).
As long as you open a strip in the concession, hundreds of thousands of yuan can be dispatched at any time, play cards in the poker room for one night, lose 50,000 or 60,000 eyelids without blinking, and win back 70,000 or 80,000 the next day. Such a character is not something he can offend.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Guanhou intended to buy some things in Songjiang, he sent his disciples to follow him throughout the whole process and act as temporary bodyguards. These Hu are notorious, they are not big in the gang, and they are all at the level of the little boss, and they are invincible when they come forward.
Shandong's initial contract to foreigners has now recovered its costs, and in the long run, there is still a large surplus. In particular, Zou Xiurong believes in industry to save the country, and he is also very satisfied with this harvest.
She looked at the Shenghua factory and sighed with emotion, "Compared with stocks, these machines are the real wealth." Those skilled industrial workers are the real priceless treasures, but it is a pity that people's eyes are only fixed on the stocks, but they cannot see these real treasures. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Second sister-in-law, since you like these machines, workers, I will find a way to help you get them." Be a gift for you and your second brother to get back together, and I'll give it to you when you have a happy event. ”
Zou Xiurong raised his foot, made a kicking motion, and said to Han Zhi on the side: "Which pot is not opened by the fourth child, what do you say?" ”
"Hit him!"
Two women chased after the man, and the three of them laughed as they ran, laughter spreading in the air. The guards and thugs were all surprised and unimpressed by this sight, but it was not long before they finally realized that this was the case
How precious is carefree laughter. (To be continued.) )
