After the Jiangning War, the relationship between Chen Lenghe and Zhao Guanhou grew by leaps and bounds, unlike at the beginning, only at a fixed time, going back and forth between Shandong and Songjiang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoAs soon as she is free, she will come to Shandong to enjoy the reunion between husband and wife.

But the problem lies precisely in the three words "one is free", in the past two years, her free time has actually become less and less, and the time the two have been together has not increased much compared with the beginning.

For several years, there was no trace left on Chen Lenghe's body, and he was still the same as when Songjiang first met. It's just that on her beautiful face, there is a little more sadness, even if she reluctantly smiles at Zhao Guanhou, she still can't hide the sorrow between her eyebrows.

"This year's account must be ugly to death, whether it is Songjiang or Shandong, it is a mess. The only big profits are with Mrs. Jenson, and my platform has collapsed. ”

The famous female God of Wealth Iron Lady in Songjiang Shopping Mall is as beautiful as a peach and plum, but also as cold as frost. The talented son who learned to be rich and five cars, and the children of the family who looked better than Pan An, had suffered from her and cut face. No one would have imagined that she also had such a pouting mouth and playing tricks, and the appearance of a little bird. Those who are frustrated, if they see this scene, I don't know how many hearts will be shattered into a piece of dregs.

Only in front of her husband will she take off the disguise of a strong woman, be a little woman with peace of mind, and enjoy care in her arms. In the Songjiang shopping mall, she did not move, and she was not shocked, as if everything was under control. It is also because of its calm and capable ability to stabilize people's hearts, and more and more people choose to deposit money into Zhengyuan's account. In fact, only the parties themselves know in their hearts how difficult the operation of the bank is and how weak the overall economic situation is.

Although the economic crisis in Taixi has not yet erupted, the economic depression and the impact on China's finances are like a dark cloud covering the sky.

The export business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and even if there is a business, it is very difficult to collect the payment. Affected by the sluggish sales, the operating rate of factories has decreased, and the number of unemployed people has increased day by day. After the rubber stock incident, China's economy, which had been hit hard, had not had time to recover, and it suffered another heavy blow.

Shandong's economy is already export-oriented, and with the accumulation of goods on the wharf and the reduction of factory operations, the decline has been very obvious. In addition, the dredging project of the Huai River has just been carried out, as well as a large number of buildings in Shandong, resulting in the financial situation of Shandong, which can only be described as miserable. The only reliable income is penicillin.

Although the demand for traditional Chinese goods, especially tea and porcelain, was reduced, the demand for penicillin seemed endless. So much so that Jensen opened two branches to produce penicillin, in addition to supplying orders, but also to set aside enough numbers to supply Shandong Lujun.

Therefore, Jensen's penicillin factory is one of the very few profitable enterprises that are currently swimming against the current. The rest, only Cheng Zhen's film company, business is booming.

Economic depression and the entertainment industry tend to produce a deformed boom. This is the case with Cheng Zhen's film company, relying on Zhao Guanhou to provide the script and remake Su Hanzhi's novel. Although the current technology can only shoot silent films, there are no stunts to talk about. But relying on a kung fu and cheap martial artist, as well as an actress with a good face, the box office is very gratifying.

Cheng Zhen, who has always been considered to be a fool and can't do great things, relied on the Peking Opera Society and the film company to make a fortune in a depressed environment. By the way, he also made news with many female stars. But for the pre-Jin Age clan, isn't it normal to have something to do with an actress?

For this kind of news, Cheng Zhen's attitude is that Han Xin ordered soldiers, the more the merrier, and even took the initiative to come out and say, you write less, who else has slept with the master, what's the matter. Zhao Guanhou is happy to see his attitude towards him, and even Yuqing will not interfere with his brother. Even after Han Rong's son Han Qing returned from overseas, he was also dragged into the water by Cheng Zhen, and the two of them were tired of engaging in movies and actors.

For Chen Lenghe, penicillin or the film company has little to do with her. The physical part of Zhengyuan Bank's investment is not very good in economic form, which really gives her a headache.

In Shandong, there has been an influx of unemployed people, including a large number of foreign workers, which has seriously affected the employment of local people in Shandong. Including the results of running education in Shandong, a large number of graduates cannot find suitable job placement. These problems are all placed in front of us and have become pressures that cannot be ignored. But compared to other provinces, Shandong is already considered heavenly.

"In Shandong, at least people don't starve to death, and in Songjiang, there are already people who commit suicide because they can't find a way out. Shantang is now starting to cook porridge again, but in the peaceful years, it is really unimaginable to release relief to save people. Although the current situation is better than that of the rubber stock market crash, it is just that the people in the lower classes are unlucky, and those gentlemen can still maintain. But when everyone drank tea together, they were saying that business was difficult to do, and the money was not as easy to make as good as the previous two years. Some people are losing money all year this year, and if it continues like this, the gentry will not be able to hold on. The situation of Zhengyuan is okay, and some newly opened small banks are about to collapse again. ”

"Of course, the good news is that labor costs are getting cheaper. In the past, it was not easy to recruit workers at the Women's Bank, but now it is not difficult. More and more girls want to find a job in a bank, so that they don't end up in a happy club. Most of them come from middle-class families, but now these families are struggling to maintain the size and dignity of the past, and they have to lay off their servants and even let their children go out to find work. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "This is only the first step, the second step, I'm afraid that even they will lose their jobs." Things came step by step, first the bottom unemployed, then the middle, the managers. When they are also unemployed, it is the turn of the boss. It can be said that a new round of capital integration is about to start again. Factory closures and business bankruptcies are inevitable. In terms of employment, even if you reduce wages by double and cancel all benefits, there are still people who are willing to do it. ”

Chen Lenghe sighed weakly, "I'm already doing this." When I think of the expressions on those people's faces, my heart is sad. But in order to compress costs, I had to make some decisions that I felt painful for myself. In order to maintain Zhengyuan's prestige, I did not lay off employees, but in order to save expenses, I had to cut wages and cancel benefits. In fact, I'm becoming the kind of person I used to hate. Ruthless executioner, vampire. I didn't even dare to look at the disappointed eyes of those junior employees, I always felt like a sinner. But compared to that, if I insist on not reducing wages, I will have to lay off employees. Those girls may fall into the club. When I think about it, I feel like I should come out and do something. But my power ...... It's too insignificant, and in the face of the general trend, Zhengyuan can only go with the flow. ”

Zhao Guanhou's hand gently stroked her hair, and said steadily: "You can't be blamed for this, it's not your ability, it's not our policy, it's the foundation." It's like letting you fight against a three-year-old child and a strong man, you can't win the fight. Our economy is too dependent on foreigners, and its internal hematopoietic capacity is insufficient, and this is the result. If foreigners don't buy our things, our finances will be in trouble. When Tessie fights in the future, our days will be even more difficult. Therefore, what I am most glad about now is that the dredging of the Huai River has been completed, so that the Yellow River will cause less harm and we will have more food. No matter how sad the days are, when you have food in your hands, you always don't panic. In the future, let's find a way from the domestic market. ”

Chen Lenghe knew that it was actually her husband's decision-making that went wrong. From the very beginning, it has neglected the domestic market, dedicated to serving the overseas market, and taking foreigners as the first service goal. Now, as soon as the foreign market collapses, Shandong will be hit hard. But when I think of my husband's experience of fighting the Huai River and dredging the river for a year, I can't bear to blame. Quite distressedly, he gently stroked his face

"It's a pity that public opinion is not supporting this matter now. In addition to Shandong's own newspapers, in the newspapers in Songjiang, they are all talking about how many people you have sacrificed and how many innocents have died. When I read it, you don't know how angry I am, I really want to rush into the newspaper and scold them. ”

"I know, for my sake, you and your brother also fell out. Actually, it doesn't matter, they can say whatever they like, I just have a clear conscience. The position where I stand is not the same as the position they stand. What they see is different from what I see. So the thinking questions are also different, they oppose me and scold me, it's nothing, as long as you don't lose your temper with me, it's fine. ”

"I've seen you desperately on the construction site, of course I won't mess with you, I can't let you suffer injustice. If it weren't for you, the current finances and the floods, I'm afraid someone would come out to rebel again. It is better for you to exhaust people to death than for them to rise up and kill. Outsiders can not understand you, but they can't slander you, and I can't bear it. ”、

Leng He recalled the fight in the mall in the past two years, and still had lingering palpitations. It is already more difficult for a woman to run a bank than a man, not to mention the economic depression, which has made the competition in the financial industry more fierce than ever. It is not uncommon to be well-dressed today and penniless tomorrow, and a young and beautiful woman is under far more pressure than a man.

Relying on the guards left by her husband and even the telegram code, she turned the corner several times and got out of the crisis. Even in the investment not long ago, not only did he retreat and escape in time, but also cheated the Fuso people by the way. The Fuso bankers, who had always been hostile to him, suffered heavy losses, and in the Tessie market, he lost a large sum of money.

Thinking of the scene at that time, I asked myself, if it wasn't for my husband's guidance, I would have suffered a lot of losses. At that point, there are big questions about whether Zhengyuan can sustain it. In her heart, her husband's image has become extremely tall, and no one is allowed to slander her, and she does not regret it when she turns against her two brothers.

What really makes her depressed now is not the conflict with her family, but the problem at hand. The purpose of Zhengyuan's establishment is to launder money for Zhao Guanhou, and this purpose has been achieved. Another purpose is to raise military salaries for the Lu army and allocate funds for the development of Shandong and northern Jiangsu. At the time of the initial establishment of the Communist Party, Shandong's economic development was very good, although there were many places to use money, but the income was more, and it has been a benign development.

However, as Taixi's economy is getting weaker and weaker, Shandong's decline has appeared, and the originally inconspicuous expenses are now like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring funds. Just looking at the figures that had to be spent, Chen Lenghe already had a big headache, and if it weren't for Mrs. Jenson's penicillin factory, she didn't know how to maintain it.

Those soldiers who returned from Yankee need to be resettled, and the wounded soldiers need to be supported by the Shandong Zhengfu for a lifetime, and even their families have to be taken care of. In the current era, this kind of burden is not light, and hundreds or thousands of burdens in one breath are a big drag on Shandong's finances.

The Yankees, for their part, paid for the soldiers, but like the regular army, they only paid the combatants. Soldiers who are disabled and incapacitated are, in the evaluation of the Yankees' Army, equivalent to scrap and have no value. And the Yankee businessmen will not pay for scrap, and this part of the cost can only be borne by themselves.

According to the current conventional disposal methods, Zhao Guanhou can also let these wounded soldiers fend for themselves, and only take care of the officers, which can be regarded as good governance. But he shook his head:

"But even if it's a drag, we have to feed them. After all, these people went to sea because of my orders. Abandoning the wounded and remnants is not the style of the Lu army. No matter how difficult the situation is, we have to take care of them. Besides, now the Fuso people are eyeing each other, and maybe there will be wars. At this time, we can't let the soldiers chill, if everyone thinks that they are crippled, no one cares, who will die for me? No matter who I was wounded for, as long as it was a brother of the Lu army, I had to take care of it to the end. Leng He, I'm sorry, although it's hard for you. But I'm going to put you in charge of fundraising......"

Leng He used a burst of affection to block Zhao Guanhou's other words, "We are originally one, and raising funds for you is also one of the meanings of Zhengyuan's existence." I'll talk to Mrs. Jenson about how much money we should issue, or how much government debt we should issue. Before we can do that, though, we have to get to Kyori first. I think that the president's invitation to Beijing to attend his birthday banquet must have something to do with the country's economic policy, and perhaps after this meeting, Shandong's economic situation will be improved. After all, Shandong's river engineering or national defense projects are all contributions to the whole country and should be supported by the government. ”

Relative to her self-confidence, Jensen is the opposite. Taixi's economic situation is not good, and she, the de facto financial manager of Shandong, is also having a difficult time.

But it is still glad that it has moved its assets to China, and Belgium has been more affected by the financial depression. Several shareholders of Warby Bank have already had to sell their shares to Jensen in exchange for cash flow. If she hadn't fled beforehand, she would have been in a much worse situation now.

In the past two years, it is not unheard of for the three of them to sleep together, especially now that time is tight, and several women who manage money have to spend a lot of time dealing with the financial crisis. Like a party on the pillow in front of the lamp, it is natural to save time, and if you can do it in three people, you don't want two people.

When the two goddesses of wealth were paralyzed, Jensen said: "If my estimate is not wrong, this invitation from the president is not to help us, on the contrary, he will continue to suck our blood." If Shandong's difficulties belong to tightening his belt, the crisis Zhong Yang is facing is to tighten his neck. From what I know, the finances of the empire are always on the verge of collapse. The throne of the president is certainly very tempting, but the pressure he bears is also more than that of ordinary people. The most important thing here is money. For today's China, money is the most useful and the most scarce material. After all, the area we control is nominally a place of ointment, and perhaps we are in a better position than the president, who wants to control the whole country. ”

With Zhao Guanhou as a barrier, Chen Lenghe, who was at the other end, lazily combed his fluffy hair and yawned, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint him." Whether it is public debt or any other means, Zhengyuan will not intervene. I won't fill the bottomless pit with funds, and I will not help with this favor. If you don't have money, you have to die. Ignore him and sleep! (To be continued.) )
