Chapter 274: Financial Weapons
(1st Update)
"Lord Maker, you... What do you mean by that? ”
After a long time, the three of them reacted at the same time, and their hearts were filled with horror, until now they still can't believe that the cabinet lowered such a big face to show favor to the master of Taiwan, and was actually rejected by force, which is really unexpected, but after thinking about it, the character of the good governor will never be so good, if it is accepted so easily, doesn't it prove that the previous dismissal order is not at fault?
They knew that the good governor would never give in, even to the cabinet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I really admire the people who control Taiwan, if this matter is changed, then it is not enough to rush to thank you." Cai Naihuang was patting on the side, and Ye Kai naturally didn't bother with it.
"Let's go, the Governor has a lot of things to do."
After inspecting the front line of the concession, Ye Xingzhong was already greatly relieved, and now the situation has been greatly eased, he said that he should not worry too much about the British and French forces, don't look at the two sides on the position are still bayonets against gun barrels, where to get to this point, everyone knows that this battle can't be fought, and the rest depends on who can't survive and evacuate first, to put it bluntly, it is from a military problem to a face problem.
The next main problem is to concentrate on the economy.
The three of them didn't dare to ask more about Ye Kai's plans, and after inspecting the seaside, they followed Ye Kai back to the governor's office.
.....
The three of them and Ye Kai had a small meeting in the office, and the topic revolved around this monetary reform, which was basically Ye Kai's question, they answered honestly, and then explained the next step, and there were not many elements to discuss.
"Commissioner Zhou, how is the recycling of old coins going?"
Ye Kai compared the list of reforms listed on the paper and asked the three people in the seat one by one.
"The recovery of old copper coins is very smooth, starting from the beginning of last month, nearly a month and a half, a total of more than 300,000 strings of copper coins have been recovered, and more than 20 million small banknotes have been exchanged.
Zhou Jinzhen, as the vice chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission, is in charge of the recovery of old coins, followed by supervising the orderly progress of copper money exchange, and the reform of auxiliary coins is a monetary pathfinder, Ye Kai also listed him as a first-class event, according to Zhou Jinzhen, this round of old currency recycling is quite effective, and he can be regarded as a reassuring pill, of course, Ye Kai will not listen to his words, he has his own news channels.
"Commissioner Cai"
"Humble Duty"
"How's the work of overseeing the minting of silver dragon coins going?"
Cai Naihuang was overjoyed, and replied: "Back to Liangdu, the new coin minting is going well, Dashuai also went to the mint last time to see it, the silver dragon coin we made is indeed a good thing, the whole body is snow-white, the weight is constant, the silver content is roughly the same as the imitation of Yingyang, or even a little higher, it is really necessary to replace the old silver coin." ”
Cai Naihuang is responsible for the minting of new coins, which is the top priority of monetary reform, and is directly related to future transactions and circulation.
It seems that he is doing a good job in this position.
Ye Kai nodded, everything he is doing now is paving the way for the future, so there must not be a little sloppy, although the silver dragon coin has not yet flowed to the market, but within the Federation of Silver Merchants, it has begun to circulate on a small scale, and the Federation will one day take the lead, and let them be familiar with the varieties, details, and business of the new currency one day earlier, then they will occupy the future market one day earlier.
Only in this way will the Federation's signboard sound, the entire Shanghai money industry will become bigger and stronger, and one day, it will have enough power to shake foreign banks.
From ancient times to the present, monopoly is the only way to get rich overnight, and the federation has to enter the fast lane from here.
"Commissioner Li, what do the shareholders of the Federation think about the Governor's monetary reform?" Ye Kai turned his head to Li Pingshu.
"The shareholders are very supportive." Li Ping wrote.
Ye Kai smiled, he didn't want to listen to these dry bureaucrats.
"Okay, support or not, not just by one mouth, after the establishment of the Financial Supervisory Commission, the governor has several times more miscellaneous matters on hand, so let's go to each bank to choose a good choice, pick out fifteen people, and set up an advisory committee under the Financial Supervisory Commission, the chairman of this committee is also the special vice chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission, brainstorming, it is always good to have more people."
"Okay, I'll do it if I go down." Li Pingshu hurriedly agreed.
Ye Kai nodded, and then said: "Generally speaking, you are very satisfied with what you have done, you are all local officials in Shanghai, the people's food and clothing, and all aspects are much clearer than Liangbi, and the future affairs, success and failure, good and bad, still depend on the people listed." ”
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, they have been busy with Ye Kai these days, and they have suffered a lot, at first they did this, and they did have selfish intentions, but who wants the money banks to go bankrupt, if Shanghai collapses, who among them can get out of it, if the good governor can really turn this stock crisis into a disaster, they are also worthy of the hard work of these days.
"It's all the duty of the lowly people..."
Ye Kai pressed his hand, got up and said: "Originally, there was another plan, but let's not talk about it today, and after this stock turmoil, I will discuss it with the three of you." Starting tomorrow, the recycling of old silver coins will officially begin, only the money bank that joins the federation has this right, you have to do a good job of supervision, remember, the steps can be bigger, don't be like a woman with small feet, you have to do it in a hurry, thick and fine, you know? ”
"As the Good Governor commands."
The three of them looked at each other and answered in unison.
.....
The silver coin recovery work was officially launched the next day, the old silver coins mainly include the Eagle Ocean that is widely circulated in Shanghai, surprisingly, the recovery work turned out to be unusually smooth, a long queue gathered in front of the money village, one of the reasons is that the Eagle Ocean is mainly held by foreign businessmen, and the current situation is tense, the Chinese and foreign armies are opposing each other in the concession, and the people are naturally disgusted with foreign currency, support the new national currency, and actually promote the currency reform work to a certain extent, which makes everyone unexpected, has to be amazed.
Also on this day, Ye Kai received a second telegram from the cabinet.
The above still changed the soup but not the medicine, and ordered the official to be reinstated, but a sentence was added at the end, "I heard that there is a financial crisis in Shanghai, and the cabinet will discuss and allocate 5 million taels of official funds for relief", and there is no mention of the withdrawal of troops.
