Originally, one Albion pound was converted into seven taels of silver, but after Gengzi's indemnity, Albion shorted a large amount of gold and silver in order to earn the difference in pounds, and the price of silver fell, and now one pound can be exchanged for nearly eight taels of silver, three million Albion pounds, worth about twenty-four million silver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is Huabi or Shandong, if it fails in the bet, it may face the crisis of financial bankruptcy.

"Mai Bian has great powers, as soon as I made a move, he found out that I was going to do this business, and then someone from Daosheng Bank came to the door." Jensen shrugged his shoulders, "Grand Duke Andreyev, our old friend, his son Andrei, he is the one who commanded the troops outside Xuanhua City. Because of his defeat and escape, he was exiled to Siberia to build a railway, where he contracted tuberculosis......"

"That's unfortunate. But Grand Duke Andreyev, where did he get such a big authority, mobilize such a large sum of money, and bet with us? ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at the contract proposed by the other party and showed a smile. is really a generous Tiele man, and he actually opened a high price of 24 million taels of silver to bet on Langezhi stocks with himself. At present, the par price of Langezhi is more than 700 taels of silver per share, and according to the contract, Daosheng Bank will allocate 24 million silver to Huabi Bank, which is equivalent to more than 34,000 shares of Langezhi's stock. A month later, Warby had to repay 34,000 shares of the bank, or enough silver (or the equivalent in Albion pounds) to buy them.

At present, as soon as the shares of Langezhi on the market are released, they are eaten, pressed in their hands and waiting to make a big profit, and it is not easy to buy more than 30,000 shares. If converted into currency, according to the analysis of Daosheng Bank, Langezhi's stock can also rise to 900 to 1,000 taels after a month, and if it is entered and exited, Huabi Bank will lose 6 million to 10 million silver.

With the share capital of Wallby Bank, the evaporation of such a large amount of property at once is likely to cause the capital chain to break, and bankruptcy is imminent. The relationship between Jensen and Zhao Guanhou has obviously been figured out by Tie Le, and this bet is actually revenge by economic means. In addition to the revenge of losing a child, Zhao Guanhou's Siheng operated a money business in the Northeast and robbed business with Daosheng Bank, and Zhao Guanhou robbed many Daosheng branches outside the customs, these are the accumulation of contradictions, and at this time it is the general ledger.

Daosheng Bank has a great influence in China, and has the right to issue loans, issue currency, collect taxes, operate, build roads, and open mines, but its registered capital is only about 10 million taels. Even if it has been in business for many years, the share capital has increased significantly, and 24 million is a huge amount of money. In other words, this bet is about the lives of both parties.

Zhao Guanhou couldn't believe that the other party's branch in Songjiang could store so much cash, and he couldn't believe that he had so much power. It was Mrs. Jenson who explained:

"Grand Duke Andreyev, who was once the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Tsar Nicholas II, is now a favorite of the Tsar, although he is the chairman of the Dowsson Bank, and his personal wealth is considerable and his power is also great. The VAM agreement, which included arms worth 2.3 million taels, was stored in the Capetian concession and could be withdrawn at any time. Military equipment worth one and a half million silver. The other cash part is made up of reserves deposited in the vaults of Daosheng Bank, as well as bank loans from HSBC, Teckwah, and Zhengjin. Including the gold bricks, the silver and the Albion pound, I specifically point out, not rubles. There is no problem with the funding part, and once the contract is signed, it can be allocated immediately. ”

"Since the funds are fine, we promise to receive the money, then you can sign."

"But it's your business, and it's up to you to decide." Jensen smiled softly, "You are the hostess, you have the final say, this is an oriental tradition, isn't it?" Power. Moreover, Benjamin, the Yankee's consul general, has always wanted to dissuade me from participating in this gamble, because I have a negative attitude towards Langezhi, which is not in their interest. Obviously, Benjamin is also a beneficiary of this McBian scam. ”

"What is the stock market in Songjiang now?"

"Crazy." Jensen was silent for a moment, and struggled to come up with the word to describe it: "The market has been completely chaotic, and most people in Jinguo don't know what stocks are, and they buy them as a tool for fighting." The ladies and wives of those big families sold their jewelry, bought stocks in every possible way, and even sacrificed their bodies for it. ”

Zhao Guanhou was stunned, "No, right?" For the sake of a few stocks, why get to this point? ”

Sai Jinhua took over and said, "Langezhi stock, the par value is fifty taels, and the current price on the exchange is seven hundred taels of shares." Fourteen times, fourteen times. You should be like everyone like you, in front of Futai, Shandong, millions of dollars, and you can raise it immediately. Those ladies and ladies are glamorous on the surface, but they are actually very short of money. Now there is more money and less stocks, and if you want to buy stocks, you have to trust favors, what are those compradors and foreigners? Taking the opportunity to blackmail, and even blackmailing many people, some women have to sacrifice their innocence in order to buy stocks, accompany their bodies, and exchange a few stocks to come back. In short, these days, there are a lot of bullshit things in Songjiang, which is really hard to say, and since the opening of Songjiang, this situation is rare. Guan Gutong, the judge of the public court, was given a little stock in order to fight a lawsuit, but a group of foreigners guarded the gate every day, holding a checkbook, waiting to buy stocks. The foreigners bought the stocks, resold them and sold them to the Chinese, and they did not keep them. ”

"A stock market crash, such a crazy stock market, is often a stock market crash." Jenson poured three cups of coffee, one in front of him. "Originally, I thought that this was Wall Street's harvest of the gold economy, but now it seems that it is more serious than this, and the scope of the impact may be far beyond China. All those who want to speculate on rubber stocks, will suffer. Daosheng Bank, also one of the victims, they also believe in the myth of rubber stocks, poor Grand Duke, I am afraid that this time it will go bankrupt. ”

This reason is not difficult to understand, the stock price of Jin Guo comes from London, and the news lags much behind Tessie. Once there is a change in the Taixi market, you can throw the pot on the big gold head at any time and let the gold country digest it.

Jensen has its own dedicated staff overseas to quote the price, and the news is very fast. Now Langezhi's shares are not listed in London at all. Other rubber stocks of the same type are only about 80 taels of silver a share in London, and his price has exceeded the normal trading price by nearly ten times, which is obviously a game to attract gold.

"The question now is when he will absorb it before he leaves. If we do it too late, will we let him slip away? Do you want to do it now and deal with him? ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "My dear, I have an experience. When everyone is in a state of madness, smart people are the least likeable. If you want not to be ostracized, you have to go crazy with everyone, and don't be the sober person. Now we will clear the scene, and in the end, all the responsibility will fall on us. Those who keep their inheritances will not hurry us, they will only curse us, saying that we have ruined their lives. Rather than that, why don't we just watch him collapse? After the catastrophe, when I came out to open a porridge field, people would call me a good person, and before the catastrophe, people would only say that I was a cool official, and they would not be sympathetic to the people's strength, this is the human heart. Since we know what people's hearts want, we should not fight against them, make choices that are beneficial to us, and do not make mistakes. Foreigners like to send me money, I don't have to refuse, bet with him, sign the contract tomorrow, but I must receive the money. ”

Jensen's money has all left, but there is no pressure. She pointed to the neighborhood, "Mrs. Cheng's brother is still trapped in the stock market, do you want to remind her?" ”

"Reminders don't work. If you say it now, they won't believe it, so they can only do him a favor in the future. On our Shandong side, although I strictly guarded it, there were still hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing into the Songjiang stock market. It can be seen from this that this game is very big, and Mai Bian will not leave the game so early. Unless there's any movement on Tessie's side, he'll continue to suck in gold. I happened to have some fun in Matsue and waited until he decided to leave, and then I had a good talk with him. ”

Jensen smiled, "Over there is the Ministry of Industry Bureau, I have already contacted you, you can go to meet with a few directors of the Ministry of Industry at any time, and you can also go to meet with several consul generals." The status of the consul general in Songjiang is second only to the ambassador, and if you have a good relationship with them, your court will not be able to do anything to you. ”

"I'm not afraid of what they will do with me now, if I want to do it, I will play with them, and it's a big deal that everyone will break up. I want to see if they have the courage to force my tens of thousands of horses. ”

For this income, Zhao Guanhou is quite satisfied, the arms and machinery of the Tiele people, Jensen has sent someone to inspect it, and there is no problem with the quality. After the war outside the Guan, the Tiele people were deeply aware of the impact of the war situation, and purchased a large number of guns and medicines, new cannons, and military equipment in Songjiang to prepare for the improvement of the arsenal, and this time they were all bet.

It is inconvenient to carry weapons in the concession, and the people brought by Zhao Guanhou have to rely on Jensen to find a way to help them with weapons and equipment, and after receiving these three warehouses, it will be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. The people led by Huo Qiu are well hidden in Songjiang, but there is no need to be alarmed, this step of the chess piece is not yet the time to use.

Since Zhao Guanhou made a decision, Jensen did not delay, immediately called a taxi, and went to Daosheng Bank to sign a contract and transfer accounts.

Located in the Capet Concession, the Bank is a three-storey bank with white tiles and granite inlays, and a three-storey eaves and column tops decorated with sculptures of the heads of Tessie mythological figures. Jenson looked at the façade and nodded, "The architecture of the Tieler people has always lacked beauty, but here, it is an exception. ”

"Honey, do you like it here?"

"Of course, I think after this business is done, I can decorate my bank like this."

The two of them were talking, and they had already walked into the bank. The guards outside the door did not stop them, but instead had staff in front to lead the way. The interior of the bank is luxuriously decorated and splendid, and the three-storey building also has an elevator. Zhao Guanhou looked at it and said in a low voice: "The layout is good, but there is a fly in the ointment, there are things and no one." The staff only have VIPs in their eyes, and there are no ordinary guests, which is not the reason for doing business. ”

"Tieler's business is different from Daikin, and they are not aimed at ordinary depositors."

At this time, the elevator had stopped, the iron fence was separated, and the staff led the way in front, and the two of them were carried all the way to the VIP room, turning around and exiting. After a short time, a strong voice was heard from outside, "Mrs. Jensen, Lord Zhao, you are finally here." ”

Walking in from outside the door was a tall old man Tiele, about sixty years old, but he did not look old at all, his steps were steady, his eyes were firm, and he was very full of energy. The two exchanged names, and Zhao Guanhou realized that the old man in front of him was the chairman of Daosheng Bank, Andreyev? Ilyich? Grand Duke Kutuzov.

The death of the only son of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer because of Zhao Guanhou can be said to be as deep as the sea, but Zhao Guanhou does not think that the other party will be stupid enough to use force with him here. Therefore, with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to ask, "How is everything at your house?" Judging by your appearance, you must be a person with many sons and many blessings, according to our Jin Guo point of view, this is the appearance of great blessing. ”

Andreyev's face was gloomy, "Thank you for your flattery." But I don't think you're here today to talk this nonsense. Have you already decided on the VAM? ”

"That's right, it's been decided." Zhao Guanhou leaned back on the sofa and sneered disdainfully, "The Tiele people have a small pattern, especially in the three eastern provinces, and even their courage has become smaller. The dignified duke came out, and he just played so little, which was not interesting. It's a shame to have such a little bit of silver. Since you want to play, do you dare to bet a little bigger? ”

Andreyev's eyes froze: "Sorry, I don't understand what Your Excellency means?" ”

"I mean very simply, I'm going to raise." Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "I think this VAM agreement needs to be revised, and we should add this office building of your Daosheng Bank to our bet." Mrs. Jensen said that she liked it very much, so I thought it would be better to take it with me. Anyway, after you lose this time, this building may not be saved, so it's better to be single, and bet on it. How much is your building worth, quote a price, let's add it. ”

"Mrs. Jensen, whose mean is this?" Andreyev looked at Jensen: "Are you sure you want to add this building to the stakes?" You should understand what this means. ”

"Lord Zhao is my partner, and his opinion represents my opinion. Since he made this request, I would not have objected. Of course, I can understand the hardships of His Excellency the Grand Duke, this building is the property of the Tiele Empire, and you can't call the shots, since this is the case, I won't embarrass Your Excellency. ”

"Nope! You are wrong, Mrs. Jenson. As Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank, I have the authority to dispose of any of the Bank's assets, including the building. Since you're willing to gamble, I'll add it, but that means you'll lose everything you have, including your Warby Bank building, when the peace expires. ”

"Well, in a word, I think you should prepare a peace treaty, and tomorrow, hand it over to the consul generals of various countries for justice, and then start settling accounts."

"I think it's Mrs. Jenson, it's time for you to start preparing the stocks. As far as I know, Warby Bank has sold all of its shares in Langezhi, and you don't have a single stock in your hand! ”

"I think this is my problem, and you only need to worry about whether your silver will be delivered on time."

Daosheng Bank has special legal personnel, and it is not difficult to prepare the contract, and Zhao Guanhou and Jensen know that after checking it, they are also correct. At that moment, the two signed together, one was in the capacity of the governor of Shandong, and the other was in the capacity of the chairman of Huabi Bank, and signed a VAM agreement with Daosheng Bank. One month later, Warby Bank was obligated to return 35,000 shares of Daosheng Bank's Langezhi shares, or repay the equivalent value of silver.

and covenant into one, one show two copies, and there is no room for change to each other. After Andreyev sent the two out of the bank, he looked at the backs of the two and said coldly: "Andrey, in a month, you will see the corpse of your enemy on the street." I want them to lose their wealth before they lose their lives, and when they become penniless, I will kill them with my own hands and avenge you. ”

After getting out of the bank, Jensen looked back at the Daosheng Bank building and asked Zhao Guanhou, "Why do you want to add this place to the gambling contract, it won't do you any good, and you can't sell it here." ”

"Because you like it, I haven't given you anything for a long time, and when it is given to you, do you like it?"

"Oh...... God, you must be crazy. Because I like it, you're going to bet on it...... Should I say I like the Forbidden City in your country......" The two held hands tightly, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows got closer and closer, gradually merging together. (To be continued.) )
