Chapter 251: The Wrath of Yi-Xuan
(1st Update)
Yesterday, he listened to the bitter water of Foreign Minister Liang Dunyan for a night, and the French Minister Marsley went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and said that he was visiting on the surface, but he was under pressure on the ground, and his attitude was very arrogant as soon as he came up, and bluntly said that Liang Dunyan was the biggest shame in the diplomatic history of the two countries, and if the Chinese government does not resolve the crisis as soon as possible, the French will act according to their own solutions, such as sending a fleet to Vietnam to the north to protect the diaspora, and maintaining local order.

The foreigner was angry, although it sounded particularly unpleasant, but Liang Dunyan could only take it, weak country and weak diplomacy, all he could do was to relay the attitude of the French to Yi Xuan, in other words, this ball is too slippery, and it can only be kicked to you.
Yi was furious after hearing this, this anger has been accumulating in the past few days, he has never been at ease with Ye Kai, can Shanghai Tang have no eyes and ears for him? The sporadic news came into his ears one after another through private channels, and there was only one conclusion to sum it up: Liangbi alone turned Shanghai Beach upside down, maybe something else happened, Yi-Liang was not so angry, and the bad thing was that he provoked foreigners.
Yi worked hard to get the throne of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, no matter how long his hand is, it can't reach the foreigners, and even if he stretches out, maybe he will be beaten, this is where his depression lies.
Therefore, even this official telegram exudes a bit of faint anger.
Although it is an official document, the wording is very harsh: "The agreement between the two countries is in advance, and the governor has no right to violate it without permission, and the governor of Liangjiang should strictly abide by the terms of the agreement, and from the date of the order, no private court shall be set up in Shanghai, the government shall not disturb the concession, and no foreign nationals shall be arrested without permission, and anyone who has a conflict with a foreign country shall be at his own convenience, and the governor of Liangjiang shall not make decisions on his own, so as not to delay the major affairs of the two countries." ”
Looking at this telegram, the content can be summed up in one sentence, listen to foreigners, don't make trouble, and be your governor of Liangjiang.
Of course, Ye Kai doesn't think so, if he doesn't make a little trouble, can his goal be easily achieved?
"Ignore him" Ye Kai put the telegram aside, and said to Li Guangben as if nothing had happened: "Inform Shen Shoukun, the commander of Jiangfang, that from today onwards, all passenger ships leaving Shanghai, regardless of Chinese or foreign, will be boarded and inspected, and as long as they are people on the wanted notice, they will be arrested immediately." ”
Ye Kai set up ambushes outside the concession one after another, which will naturally create a feeling to the people inside that the concession is not safe, and in this case, those criminals with huge sums of money are likely to sneak away, leave Shanghai, and take refuge in foreign countries.
Ye Kai wouldn't let them leave like this, not to mention that this was a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Li Guang's ability to go down, Ye Kai breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, the actions of the past few days made him slightly tired, and the situation went on according to his expectations, but it was far from the time to rest, and it was the turn of those money bank owners who were waiting to be fed.
....
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the general meeting of the Federation of Banks and Merchants began to kick off, because of the early release of the news, so this time people from all walks of life arrived, bank bosses, reporters, media, including many industrialists, gathered here, the scene was very grand.
Chen Yiqing arrived at the earliest, and before the conference started, he sat at the front early, trying to play himself as a loyal defender of the "Ye Kai line".
The venue for the meeting was chosen in the auditorium, and most people were very impressed by this.
Chen Yiqing looked left and right and saw a very familiar face.
"Boss Yan, why are you here? The righteous and benevolent family has a great cause, and they are also interested in the federation, isn't it rare to have that little relief silver? ”
The person who came was none other than Yan Yibin, who was ridiculed by Chen Yiqing as soon as they met, his old face suddenly turned blue and red, but he was full of anger but could only hold it in his heart, who let him take the lead in rejecting the federation's proposal, now I really regret thinking about it, but, looking at Chen Yiqing's triumphant appearance, he scolded secretly.
"Little old night!"
Yan Yibin's arrival has aroused a lot of public opinion, after all, his source of righteousness and goodness is one of the two golden pillars of Shanghai, although he took the lead in refusing, but now he can't help but come, first, Cai Naihuang in order to get rid of his involvement, constantly ordered him to return the official silver, and secondly, the arrest of Shi Dianzhang shocked him too much, so that he had to consider his own situation, in addition, the more important Ye Kai's wrist, just imagine a feudal official who even foreigners dare to provoke, are you still afraid of him a small silver businessman? After several suppressions, Yan Yibin understood that only by joining the federation and embracing the thick leg of the governor of Liangjiang could he have a glimmer of life.
"It seems that everyone has to go through this kind of experience..."
laughed at himself, Yan Yibin looked around, but found that there was no place for him, and the eyes shot around him were very dazzling, and many bank business bosses stared at him with disdain, Oh, at the beginning, it was you who refused to join, and now you are rushing to participate in this inaugural meeting, should it be because you want to eat alone, this person is really shameless.
Nervous, Ye Kai arrived.
The whole audience saluted, only Yan Yibin stood on the edge of the seat alone, the six gods had no owner, such a scene, it was not embarrassing, and this scene happened to be seen by Ye Kai.
"Isn't Boss Yan a giant in the silver money industry, why is there such a 'no place' in Shanghai Beach?" Ye Kai said.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Yan Yibin's face was pale.
"Boss Yan is a big businessman, a big businessman should have the appearance of a big businessman, come and come, Boss Yan will sit next to the governor."
The governor commanded, how dare Yan Yibin not go, he sat tremblingly and majestically Cai Naihuang, who immediately moved away, looked ahead, and didn't look at him.
The tree fell and scattered, and Yan Yibin finally understood his "position".
.....
Fang Cai is just a small episode, everyone's interest is soon not on this, the purpose of their coming is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to relieve silver.
The previous reading of the articles of association was boring, and the bankers let it go, their focus was not on this, and they fell asleep for a long time, until Ye Kai's speech.
"You are all businessmen in the silver and money industry, and naturally you understand the rules of commerce very well, and the Governor does not need to say much, after the establishment of the Federation, each member will receive the corresponding relief silver, and the relief silver will be distributed in three batches, in view of the limited amount in front of you and the too many audiences, so the Governor has considered it, and these relief silvers will be converted into the corresponding amount of relief silver according to the amount of capital of the members."
The words made the atmosphere of the audience suddenly lively. (To be continued.) )
