Chapter 374: Layout Even Fighting the Idea of the Japanese (2)
Jia Jiying mentioned in his plan:
In 1923, the "Great Kanto Earthquake" dealt a serious blow to the economy of the capital, and when its economy had not yet recovered, the current economic crisis of the world's surname occurred, and then the Great Depression, which was far away and had no end in sight, which made the economy that had been depressed for a long time and had no strength to revive even worse, and this crisis was called the "Showa Crisis" in the capital, which completely pushed the economy into the abyss of the crisis, and dealt a heavy blow to all aspects of the society.
Jia Jiying said in the report that the information he has collected shows that the current prices and stock prices have fallen sharply by at least 30 percent compared with before the crisis. The decline in agricultural products has been particularly serious, for example, the good rice, which was originally more than 40 yuan a load, has now fallen by 17.7 yuan. Because of the market depression, a large number of banks, enterprises, and farmers have closed down and gone bankrupt.
In order to alleviate the crisis caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake and restore the economy as soon as possible, the Minister of the Hamaguchi Cabinet of Samoto Inoue, before the world economic crisis occurred last year, agreed to change the system to the gold standard from January 1, 30 years in order to boost the economy.
But what he never expected was that he immediately encountered the economic crisis of the world's surname, which also made the yuan, which is now on the gold standard and the value of the strong currency rise sharply, immediately fell deeply, and now it is much lower than its proper value.
Jia Jiying believes that because the Yuan adopts the gold standard, the economy is now not inflationary, but deflationary, and the current decline of the Yuan is only temporary, and it will soon return to its original value as the crisis eases.
In particular, although industrialization has developed greatly since the First Sino-Japanese War, agriculture still accounts for half of the country's fiscal revenue, that is to say, at least in the strict sense, it cannot be called an industrialized country, but can only be regarded as a semi-industrialized or agricultural country, and semi-industrialized, or agrarian countries, in the crisis based on industrialization, recover far faster than industrialized countries.
Therefore, he judged that Yue Yuan would return to its true value in about a year, and now is a good time to invest in Yue Yuan.
This is because since the First Sino-Japanese War, taking advantage of geographical advantages and unequal treaties, while vigorously dumping industrial products into China, it has also seized a large amount of China's natural resources, especially in the northeast.
As a result, the volume of trade in China was huge, and the Yuan was also used extensively in foreign trade transactions at the major trading ports of Northeast China and the southeast coast of China, which of course needed to be exchanged at the bank. Therefore, it is very convenient to invest in domestic speculation.
Song Zhewu is not very clear about the content of Jia Jiying's plan, and Song Zhewu has no research on the difference between the economic crisis in this book and the crisis in Europe and the United States, whether in his past life or in this life, and it can even be said that he has almost no understanding in this regard.
However, from the perspective of China, an agricultural country, it is basically unaffected by the economic crisis of the world surname, so Song Zhewu has reason to believe that Jia Jiying's judgment is correct.
It's just that what makes him a little sweaty is that he, a traverser, didn't think of this? But just focus on Europe and the United States?
Moreover, Jia Jiying's suggestion also made Song Zhewu suddenly remember one thing.
In the memory of Song Zhewu's previous life, he remembered that Yan Xishan, who ran to Dalian with 6 million oceans to take refuge, after arriving in Dalian, in addition to taking out 3 million yuan to buy a villa and leaving enough living expenses for their group, the remaining 3 million yuan were invested by him. Before "918", when Yan Xishan threw out Yue Yuan and returned to Shanxi, he actually made a lot of money.
Although Yan Xishan only stayed in Dalian for less than a year, he often spent a lot of money because he had to communicate with Yue himself, but the 6 million he took away was not only a lot less when he came back, but on the contrary, it was much more, which was almost equivalent to Yan Xishan going to Dalian for more than half a year for a free vacation.
For this reason, in Song Zhewu's previous life, when he saw this information, he admired Yan Xishan, a shrewd warlord, for a while.
Moreover, after Song Zhewu read Jia Jiying's plan, he believes that Jia Jiying's investment strategy is more than a step higher than Yan Xishan's.
Jia Jiying is not like Yan Xishan, who simply invests, and his methods are still very similar to the crazy speculation methods of those "predators" in the Chinese stock market in later generations, which are very fierce and spicy, and they even have to do a few back and forth before the appreciation of the yuan.
Although Yan Xishan is shrewd, Song Zhewu believes that Yan Xishan's talent in finance will definitely not be able to catch up with Jia Jiying, Yan Xishan can make money by simply investing, and Jia Jiying will definitely be able to earn more, not to mention that the appreciation of Yuan in a short period of time is still a sure thing, and a fool will not do it if he makes a profit without losing money!
However, Song Zhewu was also a little strange in his heart: "In his previous life, he didn't see the information about Jia Jiying's investment in Jin Banknotes, I wonder if it was because of his own crossing that it caused a change in history?" ”
But Song Zhewu thought about it, and felt a little relieved. You must know that Jia Jiying is far less famous than Yan Xishan in later generations, and it is impossible for him to easily take out 3 million to invest at once like Yan Xishan. Moreover, even if Jia Jiying really invested, not many people would remember that he made hundreds of thousands, let alone have information to record.
Moreover, Song Zhewu also believes that those who dare to invest in Yueyuan at this time will not be only Yan Xishan and Jia Jiying in China, but no one knows. However, now that Jia Jiying has a huge amount of money, it is difficult to say what the final result will be.
Thinking of this, Song Zhewu, who was extremely excited, rubbed his hands and gloated: "Okay! Junchen, just do it according to your plan, as for how to do it, you are solely responsible for handling it, I am a layman in financial investment and speculation, you don't have to ask me for instructions on everything, all the investment decisions about Yue Yuan, you can report to me after you decide. ”
"Xiao Yueben has taken advantage of us since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, this time we should also bleed it and make my own money, the more the better, you just let it go."
Saying that, Song Zhewu couldn't help but be excited and laughed.
Jia Jiying knew that Song Zhewu did not fully understand this matter, and said with a bitter smile: "Commander, this time we can't earn too much money from Yu himself, mainly from Chinese merchants who have trade with Yu himself and Chinese who buy and sell Yue Yuan, of course, this will also make Yue Ben merchants need to pay more when buying our goods for a period of time." ”
"Oh!"
Song Zhewu thought for a while, and then figured out the origin of the matter, now there are fewer international financial derivatives, far less than the later generations, so complicated, and not so convenient and developed, if you want to be like the international financial predator Soros in the previous life, arrogantly triggering the "financial tsunami" in Southeast Asia and impacting the pound, not to mention that there are no available financial tools and channels now, even if there are, with his current money, it will never be possible.
His current strength can only set off a little wind and waves in the domestic financial market.
Song Zhewu, who figured it out, took out a cigarette in disguise, lit it, and then smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Anyway, no matter whose money it is, it is the money of the rich anyway, and the ordinary people have no spare money to do this, we have to earn anyone's money, and our subsequent large-scale construction needs a lot of money, so you can do it." ”
The problem of the depreciation of the Jin banknotes was properly resolved, which not only made Song Zhewu make a lot of money, but also made a great increase in his prestige in the hearts of the people of Shanxi and even the people, and even he got the absolute control of the most elite Taiyuan region and Suiyuan in Shanxi, which he longed for very much.
What made Song Zhewu particularly happy was that at the same time, he also dealt a severe blow to Yan Xishan's image in the minds of the people of Shanxi, and even affected Zhang Xueliang's image in the hearts of the Chinese people, which was very beneficial to his future development. Sorting out the Jin banknotes is really a wonderful chess to kill birds with one stone.
As the saying goes, "when people go, horses go fat, camels walk alone on stone arch bridges", people are going to come to luck, which is really unstoppable.
During this time, Song Zhewu's happy events responded to this sentence, which came one after another, and almost did not let Song Zhewu take a breath and rest.
As soon as the Jin money turmoil ended, Pang Bingxun sent his chief of staff, Wang Shouwu, to meet Song Zhewu secretly in Taiyuan, and expressed Pang Bingxun's intention to take refuge in Song Zhewu in person. This made Song Zhewu both surprised and very surprised.
What surprised Song Zhewu was that in the original history, Pang Bingxun was first attached to Zhang Xueliang after the Central Plains War, and after Zhang Xueliang went into the wilderness, he completely surrendered to the central government, and therefore participated in the famous Battle of Taierzhuang. And now Pang Bingxun wants to take refuge in him Song Zhewu, which really surprised him.
What surprised him was that Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang went into the wilderness, and the Jin Suijun Army and the Northwest Army were already leaderless, and this was a good opportunity to win over these troops, and he had already transferred Li Wentian and Zhao Fengwu back, ready to let the two of them and Zhao Pilian work together to use the old relationships between their superiors and subordinates and colleagues and old friends to lobby the Jin Suijun Army and the remnants of the Northwest Army to return to the Fourth Route Army. As soon as he wanted to pay attention to them, Pang Bingxun took the initiative to take refuge, but as soon as he fell asleep, someone sent a pillow, which couldn't help but surprise Song Zhewu.
Moreover, Pang Bingxun not only has outstanding personal ability, but also is a very good general. In particular, his troops are very combative, and such troops are exactly what Song Zhewu needs.
Although Pang Bingxun's troops are the miscellaneous cards of the Northwest Army and their equipment is not as good as the main force of the Northwest Army, their combat effectiveness is not worse than that of the main force of the Northwest Army, and many of the advantages of the Northwest Army are also very obvious in this army.
It's just that Pang Bingxun's attachment conditions made Song Zhewu unacceptable......
