Chapter 548: Sign It, Don't Delay My Time!
@@@@@
"The third time, the third time!"
"You can't get it back! You don't understand, you don't understand! For foreigners, what they lose is money, but what we lose is ten years of development, the circulation deflation after losing half of silver, and the complete failure of currency reform! Do you still have to fight? It's been eight years! If you fight again, the country will be finished, and it will be over! No external input, no world capital! The only fate of the closed country is the Qing Dynasty! ”
In the room, the roar was louder than the last, which made Lei Meng and Kuang Xukun stunned, not knowing when it happened inside, and when they saw Yang Qiu coming out, their faces were cold, and they didn't dare to ask the reason.
Pei Zuyi's face was pale, he looked behind him and lowered his head and whispered, "Vice President, do you want to think about it again?" In fact, Minister Zhang is also reasonable, the foreigners are clearly not for money this time, they just want to borrow our currency before the chaotic circulation to extract a large amount of silver, resulting in a run on our currency so that we can not issue currency, without currency can not release purchasing power and market, will cause circulation contraction, this will suppress China's economy and development time we do not have many chips, want to get back the silver can only choose coercive means, which will lead to a comprehensive retreat of foreign capital. ”
"I know, and I know what they want!"
Yang Qiu's eyes were cold, and his heart was like a knife. Zhang Wenjing can be said to be his first real comrade-in-arms after coming to this era, he has unconditionally supported himself since he went to the 42nd bid, and he has no complaints about even holding him to the completely unfamiliar position of Minister of Finance, but now he is dissatisfied because he has repeatedly used his love for the people and is worried that he will betray the interests of the country.
This is not to blame Zhang Wenjing. He was right, it was all his indulgence. In addition to being really helpless at the beginning of the crisis, he has already found that this is a big opportunity! Therefore, pretending to be a failure and nervousness, arousing the public opinion of the whole country, and then speeding up the collection of gold and silver from the people, he called Yan Xishan and Kuang Jingyang, mobilized the two major families with the largest inventory of gold and silver, and then stimulated those who had gold and silver in the country through them. In the name of patriotism, he completed a large-scale looting of domestic folk gold and silver.
Now the central bank has 8,000 tons of silver in its hands, and Hanger has nearly 10,000 tons in his hands, and more than half of the country's silver has been fixed. What needs to be done is to give foreign capital enough benefits to exchange for silver, so that the silver reserves can be doubled compared with before the crisis, which is equivalent to completing the currency reform in one step!
The pain is undeniable. Because he has once again fooled the people who follow him, and patriotism has become a tool for political use! Perhaps decades later the people will find that they have been fooled in this crisis, but by then the country's financial reform has been completed and solidified, and it is nothing more than a matter of blame and infamy.
"You stay here to take care of Minister Zhang, don't ask anything, don't say anything, I won't allow him to leave before I come back, and I won't allow him to have an accident!" He took one last look at the closed wooden door behind him and strode towards the door.
After going out, Xu Xiujun and Cai Gongshi were already waiting outside the door, while Chen Haohui sat in the corner of the car without saying a word. Cai Gongshi was holding a thick layer of papers. He looked up at the window of the study on the second floor and said, "This is all you want." Vice President, Wen Jing him. ”
"Drive!"
Yang Qiu's face was expressionless, making people unable to see through his thoughts.
The wheels slowly drove out of the gate, and the roar behind them faded away. Cai Gongshi retracted his gaze. After opening the folder, he handed it to Yang Qiu: "This is the information you want." A total of 37 major projects are planned. The Ningbo Port hub is expected to invest 150 million yuan, and it will take 6 years at the earliest. The Huludao deep-water port and shipyard project requires an investment of 250 million yuan, and it will take as little as 5 years. Heilongjiang Oil Refinery, with a total investment of 65 million tons per million tons, takes 5 years from completion to production. The renovation of Zhanjiang deep-water port will cost 40 million yuan and take 5 years. The Keelung Port expansion project will take 91 million 5 years. The Songhua River Hydropower Plant costs 120 million yuan. 6 years. The two-way double line from Baotou to Rehe in Fuzhou cost 450 million yuan and took 8 years.
Some of these projects are part of the second five-year plan, and some of them are new plans according to your requirements, and the total investment will need to be about $2 billion to complete them all! The average construction time takes about 5 years. If you start investing from 22 years and will not complete it until 27 years, such projects are huge upfront investments, and it will take 2 to 3 years to make a real profit, that is, these projects will be profitable after 10 years.
It is not recommended to give them shares in the manufacturing industry, you can let them start from scratch and build on their own, although the cycle is short but our country is short of workers, and it will take about 5 years to achieve full capacity on average. There are also mines, which is relatively simple, as long as the strategic mines are not sold, the other shares can choose to sign all the recovery agreements, even if the time is short, these ores will not flow abroad, nothing more than the market will be subject to some control, but we have strategic mines will not be strangled.
In addition, as long as the financial sector you mentioned can complete the currency reform, establish a savings margin system, operate foreign exchange, futures, stocks, trusts, insurance, and bonds, set up a special department for managing foreign exchange, stocks, and block trades, establish a market margin system, and keep the margin vault within the territory of China, you can gradually open up these industries to them. We expect it will take 2 years to complete all these reforms and legislation, but monetary power is something that must be held onto! ”
That's the price to pay, all worth $5 billion! Equivalent to the total value of domestic manufacturing! This is a rather dangerous figure, and it is a test of China's own innovation ability and development speed. If the development is fast, within 5 years can understand the technology contained in the Rhineland plan, develop a number of technologies in the data machine, and so they put into production their own high-end manufacturing industry, compared with manpower and national feelings, the quality of domestic products is also advantageous, foreign capital not only can not become a burden, on the contrary, it can also promote market competition.
Yang Qiu snapped the document and looked at Chen Haohui. The latter nodded slightly: "The people of the Hangel, Morgan and Rothschilds have arrived." ”
Xu Xiujun didn't speak until everyone was silent before asking, "Vice President, why did you deliberately choose these big projects with a long construction period?" The impact and scale of these projects are not small, and I am afraid that opening up to foreign capital will be scolded. ”
"You'll know." Yang Qiu didn't answer. directly closed his eyes and said nothing, which made several people a little worried.
As the convoy headed for the villa in the countryside, Hanger was also hospitably welcoming guests from Wall Street.
Jacob, with his typical Jewish lanky, brown hair, glasses and well-dressed clothes, was the head of the Rothschilds in the Far East, and he was the mastermind behind the silver crisis. He has been following the movements of the Far East for a long time. After the outbreak of the European war, huge amounts of silver, foreign exchange and gold flowed into China, but Yang Qiu did not carry out currency reform because of the need to attract these capital inflows to rapidly expand himself. As a result, silver, gold, banknotes, and even foreign exchange could be used in the market, and he understood that the opportunity had come.
The clearer the lake, the less fish there are, and only turbidity can lurk.
Now all that needs to be done is to talk about the price code, Jacob blows off the coffee foam. Glancing at Morgan's representative next to him, Shu Mitchell, general manager of Citibank's Shanghai branch, he turned his head and asked Hangel, "Have you contacted Yang Qiu?" ”
"I've been contacted, I'm sure he'll be there soon."
Both sat quietly, and to outsiders they looked more like academics than greedy and snobbish capital predators. But Hanger knew very well that this was the person who really stirred up the world, and that the two families were both hostile and inexplicably connected to each other.
Soon the servant brought the news of Yang Qiu's arrival, but to Hanger's slight surprise, he was wearing a military uniform today. "Is he really going to solve the problem in the stupidest way?"
"We meet again, Lord Hangel." Yang Qiu's tone was polite, but his expression was very cold. His gaze lingered on Hangel's face for a moment, then turned to Jacob and Schumitchell.
Hangel was slightly stunned and then pretended to introduce enthusiastically: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Jacob from the United Kingdom, and this is His Excellency Schumchel from Citibank Shanghai Branch. ”
Yang Qiu nodded, took the prepared contract from Cai Gongshi's hand and threw it on the table: "My work schedule is very tight, so I don't want to have any more nonsense." That's what you want to invest in. The total value is $2 billion. I will not sell any of my existing shares in the manufacturing industry, you will choose your own site to set up a factory, and the mining shares are also written on it, and the insurance industry and the financial industry that you want need to give me two years to complete the monetary reform, and I promise that these industries will be opened up in two years. In addition, I will give you the right to know about the central bank's banknotes and deposit reserves. Together, these equate to $5 billion.
The condition is that all investments in China must be controlled by China, with a total of 10% of the shares, and these shares do not interfere with the operation only as a need to supervise whether the construction is qualified and whether it violates local laws! These are all major projects related to the lives of our people, so once the investment has problems such as capital breakage and inability to operate for more than one year, the Chinese government automatically has the right to increase its holdings and redeem all shares!
In addition, you need to close all exchanges in China and recover all the bank bonds you have issued! Return to me all the silver you control in our country at an official price of 1:20, and the necessary funds will be allocated from the land money invested in these investments, and if there is any balance, it will be paid in cash. ”
The straightforward price made Han Ge dumbfounded, he thought that Yang Qiu would negotiate to suppress the price, but he didn't expect to agree to almost all the conditions! This made him secretly feel bad in his heart, with his understanding of Yang Qiu, it shouldn't be this kind of performance in this kind of thing at all! But he couldn't figure out where the conspiracy was. The 2 billion yuan of infrastructure construction and the amount of industrial investment of about 2 billion yuan, as well as the opening of the financial market of about 1 billion yuan, are almost equivalent to the total value of the manufacturing industry in his hands, or one-tenth of the total output value of the country's workers and peasants, which is already very terrifying.
What is it that makes him so confident? Is it really a complete surrender?
Hanger couldn't figure it out, and Jacob and Schumicell were also a little surprised, but the former still pushed it over after reading all the documents: "A central bank governor is also needed, and the right to know about the central bank's banknotes and deposit reserves is not needed, but the right to supervise!" ”
"It can't be!"
Before Yang Qiu could speak, Xu Xiujun and Cai Gongshi behind him were angry, and Pei Zuyi was even more blunt: "The central bank's regulatory power is a symbol of a country's sovereignty!" This must not be given away! Giving you the right to know is already the biggest concession, otherwise go to war! I don't believe that the US and UK governments will be kidnapped by you! ”
Bei Zuyi's words made both of them frown, and secretly noticed that the young man seemed to want to make a note of his appearance. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Unable to talk any further, Schumethell said to ease the atmosphere: "Your Excellency, Vice President, you should know what this silver will mean. Your country needs this silver, and it can help you issue 2 billion of circulating currency. Paper money is not gold or silver, and no one will collect or wear it, and even if you issue it to the people, they will deposit it in banks or buy goods for circulation.
You issue 2 billion. In fact, it has 3 billion or more revolving funds that can be used for investment, and the current market liquidity rate will be increased by 10%, and more money can be made by increasing circulation. A virtuous circle is formed. On the contrary, if we don't take out this silver, it is equivalent to you have a huge bad debt of 2 billion, and the circulation will be greatly reduced. ”
Pei Zuyi is young and vigorous. "We don't need you to come to class, the liquidity is only temporary, and even if we abandon it, we can increase it by other means." What about deflation? The whole world is contracting, and our country cannot escape this law, so the pain is only short-lived, and according to our economic data, it will be recovered in 5 years at most. ”
"But there's not a lot of five years in life to squander, do you? Your Excellency the Vice-President. It should be clear to you that now is the post-war recovery period, and in five years it will enter a period of growth. If you can't grow your economy in these five years, do you think your manufacturing industry will survive when the world's goods and capital flow back to Asia? Of course, you have a way to learn from your neighbors. The consequence of a complete closure of the country and the market is that all foreign capital will leave, the technology you need, the complete set of equipment will be far away, and you will be isolated. ”
"So what does it matter? Are you the only ones who have the technology? We. Bei Zuyi was about to fight, but was interrupted by Yang Qiu: "Your Excellency, I need to talk to Mr. Jacob alone. May I? ”
"Vice President, you?"
"Get out, I know how to measure."
Cai Gongshi was afraid that Yang Qiu would be persuaded to make greater concessions, but when he saw his cold gaze, he had to retreat first. Hangel frowned and always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say that he couldn't say it, so he had to go out and wait with Schumicel first.
After everyone left, Yang Qiu slowly took off his military hat and looked at Jacob.
The two sharp eyes even Jacob, who was accustomed to seeing big people, was secretly frightened and asked, "What does Your Excellency Vice President want to talk about?" I'm not soft-hearted. ”
Yang Qiu pinched his hat and waited quietly for him to finish speaking, and said: "Please tell Lord Walter de Rothschild that the Balfour Declaration is just a piece of toilet paper that can be trampled on and discarded at any time, and no country will abide by it!" ”
Jacob thought he wanted to bargain, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the topic of Zionism! His face changed, he was gloomy, and even his voice was a little colder, and he tried to maintain his calm and said: "Your Excellency Vice President, I don't understand what you mean, does this have anything to do with business negotiations?" ”
"Do you want me to be clearer?" Yang Qiu sneered: "If you don't have friends, the whole world can't find them!"
In Japan, you are called white ghost animals!
In the United States, West Point cadets must be recommended by a senator to get in!
In France, even the worst Marseille military school will not allow Jews to enter!
In the UK, you are just crawlers underground!
In Germany, Jews in the Social Democratic Party are being assassinated!
In Russia, your supporters massacred 100,000 of your compatriots on the Don!
Do you want me to go on? You have money, but you don't have the armed forces, and even what you think is paradise America restricts Jews from entering the military! The restoration of the country is simply a pipe dream! No one and no country will support you, Jerusalem is now a dirty toilet that others trample on at will! And I bet you're hiding the re-** that can't even make up 100 combat teams! ”
These words made Jacob unable to sit still, his body trembled obviously, and he pointed at Yang Qiu's nose, and his tone was never weaker: "Who are you?" Why do you know this? ”
Yang Qiu continued to strike as if he hadn't seen it: "Angry? Angry? Stinging you?! Do you really think that you can control the world by playing the economy and making more money? Can you restore the country? No! You never understand that this is the age of power over money, the age of rule-makers like me! Do you win by controlling half of our silver, creating deflation, forcing our central bank to be unable to issue more banknotes, and causing market circulation to decrease? No! I am the one who makes the rules, and I can easily legislate a ban on private and foreign transactions of gold and silver in the country, prohibit all gold and silver from leaving, and gold and silver can only be sold to the central bank!
As for the war? Go and see the public opinion outside, I'm not afraid at all!
You may think that deflation will cause social unrest, but I can tell you unambiguously, no! Because, this country is not a country where liberalism is rampant! What's more, I have an army! An army that can defeat the Japanese army, defeat the German army, defeat the Russian army, and have the best tactics in the world! Even the armies of the great powers of Britain, France, and Germany wanted to send cadets to study.
That's my capital! Capital that you will never be able to come up with!
I know that the restoration of the country is your highest dream, and you have sacrificed a lot for this! So don't waste time, my final condition is to give you 500 military academy intern places every year, so that you can make up 500 combat groups every year, and in ten years you will have 5,000 combat groups and be able to form 2 complete infantry divisions! I promise to sell weapons and equipment when you need them. But I also need to remind you that I will not admit the existence of these things, and whether you succeed in the future has nothing to do with me or my country! ”
Yang Qiu threw the prepared contract on the table: "Sign it, don't delay my time!" ”…… (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
