Guo Yu instructed Zhou Wu to collect the information of the current Bank of Communications, and at the same time he inquired about the relevant situation of the Bank of Communications in the information of the Republic of China stored on the computer, as Xu Shichang said, the Bank of the Republic of China is not only the Bank of Communications so indiscriminately issued banknotes, but other banks also have different types of indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, but among them, the Bank of Communications is the most strict.

Historical records: "After Xinhai**, Yuan Shikai took power and regarded the two major banks of China and Communications as his own. Whenever the Government's finances were exhausted, they were ordered to advance money to them and issue paper money indiscriminately. "In 1916 there was indeed a large-scale run and exchange stoppage, which caused a sharp rise in the prices of grain and various commodities, and caused great losses to the people.

However, Guo Yu also saw the Bank of Communications to attract his own places, first of all, he is one of the four major banks in the Republic of China, his exchange business is very developed, the bank business department throughout the country, although there is no comparison with the banks of later generations, but it is already the leader in the banking industry of the Republic of China, which shows that the foundation of the Bank of Communications is relatively good.

There are precious metals worth 8 million yuan in his vault, Guo Yu simply converted, according to the current gold and silver price comparison of the Republic of China, there are about 5.6 tons of gold, or 8 million Yuan Datou, which is 200 tons of silver. These precious metals would be worth much more than they are now if they were brought to modern times.

And if you take out 25 million US dollars, you can get through the ownership of this bank, the business department of more than 100 big cities across the country, and you can also get half of the tax revenue of Shanghai Customs, just a little happy in my heart, only to find that the tariff in Shanghai is about 700,000 taels of silver a year, that is not about a million oceans a year, and it has to be divided equally with the government of the Republic of China, what is this enough, according to this rate, it will take 100 years for his $25 million to return to the capital, Guo Yu is also drunk.

And Zhou Wu also reported the latest information of the Bank of Communications, since Liang Shiyi fled, now the Bank of Communications has changed its prime minister, but the current business is basically in a semi-stagnant state. Guo Yu thought to himself, how can he start a business without money.

It seems that I still have to make some real requests, I have to think about this, since the bamboo pole is sent to my own hands, I have to make good use of it.

After two days of consideration, Guo Yu put forward his own request. One is to allow the Huafu Association to work in the form of a legal organization throughout the country, this article is mainly to correct the name of the Huafu Association, now the Huafu Association is open all over half of China, although many people know this organization, but the Huafu Association has not been reported and registered in the central government, in the final analysis, it is still an illegal organization, but now the Republic of China no one cares about this matter, even many religious organizations and guild organizations do not have the habit of registering with the government, but Guo Yu thinks about the long-term, If you register with the government, it will become reasonable and legal to act, and you can have this identity as a cover for other situations in the future, and this condition is very simple, I believe that the government will not be too embarrassed to agree.

The second is the establishment of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and Guo Yu recommended himself as the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, based in Shanghai. The third is the establishment of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, which Guo Yu still recommends himself as chairman, also in Shanghai.

Among Guo Yu's several conditions, the first one is just a formality, and now the strength of the Huafu Association has surpassed that of other domestic organizations too much, and it is also necessary to report to the government for registration. Of course, if it is another organization, the government will examine it in many ways to establish its legitimacy, but Huafu will be much simpler.

Although these two organizations are only coordinating and supervising organizations at this stage, if these two organizations are used well, Guo Yu is confident that he will be able to gradually control the economic construction and bank operation of the Republic of China, and when these two organizations are really developed and strengthened in the future, it will have a profound impact on the economy of the entire Republic of China. After all, the economy determines the superstructure.

Xu Shichang was very surprised to hear that Guo Yu really agreed to take over the Bank of Communications. Guo Yu has always given people the feeling that he is the kind of character who does not suffer losses, although he does charity, but he is by no means a bad person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and now he has agreed to take over the mess of the Bank of Communications, which is a big hole involving 50 million oceans, if it is not solved well, I am afraid that Guo Yu will lose a lot of money, although Guo Yu has money, but it is not spent like this.

"Hanyang, you have thought about it clearly, the Bank of Communications is a big hole, and it is impossible to plug this gap without 50 million oceans." Xu Shichang didn't care for any reason, but he still reminded Guo Yu.

"I thought about the Bank of Communications for a while, and it can still be operated, after all, as one of the four major banks in the country, his status in the country is there, it is the issuing bank approved by the government, and the business is also all over the country, if the Bank of Communications is rectified, he will be rejuvenated in a short period of time and become the best bank in the Republic of China." Xu Shichang could hear that Guo Yu was full of confidence when he said these words.

"Since you have this determination, then my uncle will not persuade you, after all, your net worth can still support this stall, I also hope that the Bank of Communications can get rid of this crisis, after all, if the bank once there is a run or dishonesty in the case, it will affect the whole country, causing panic among the people in the short term, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time, it is estimated that there are not a few people who jump into the river, Hanyang, you can be regarded as doing a good deed." Xu Shichang said this, with a lonely look on his face, he already knew these problems when he was the secretary of state, in order to support the country, Yuan Shikai's last approach was a bit of a drink to quench his thirst, but he left such a disaster for future generations, if it were not for Guo Yu, the Bank of Communications would definitely have a run, causing heavy losses to the ordinary people.

"Old Xu, do you think the other two conditions I put forward, will the government agree to them?" Guo Yu is more concerned about the two conditions he proposed, after all, this is related to the overall layout of the Republic of China in the future.

Regarding Guo Yu's request to establish the 'All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce' and the 'All-China Banking Regulatory Commission', Xu Shichang wondered for a long time after hearing it, and couldn't figure out what Guo Yu's intention was to put forward such conditions.

"What are you putting forward these two conditions for, and I don't see any benefit to you here." Xu Shichang also didn't work, so he asked Guo Yu.

"In fact, the establishment of the 'All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce' and the 'National Banking Regulatory Commission' for myself, the benefits are not great, but also to work hard, but now the country has ushered in a critical stage of development, a variety of foreign advanced machines emerge in an endless stream, a large number of industrial products into the domestic market, some of the domestic traditional handicraft workshop-style factories will be greatly impacted, and to think of development and growth, it is necessary to buy expensive foreign machines, and later it will also involve domestic goods and foreign goods to compete for the market, goods exported abroad, Problems such as fighting with foreign goods, and even the unequal treatment of our goods abroad, need a department to solve, and our government of the Republic of China lacks such an organization. The All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce can become a bridge between the country's business organizations and the government of the Republic of China. ”

Xu Shichang listened to Guo Yu's explanation, and suddenly figured out that this Federation of Industry and Commerce is really a necessary organization, "Hanyang is really worthy of being a great talent who has learned from China and the West, it turns out that this National Federation of Industry and Commerce is actually doing such a thing, if it works properly, it can really play a very huge role in the future, the United Nations is unified inside and outside, and there is no need for those businesses to face the oppression of the great powers alone, this organization should have been established a long time ago." Xu Lao said a little excitedly, and then urged Guo Yu to say: "What about the National Banking Regulatory Commission, hurry up and tell me about the doorway here." ”

"Now the chaos of domestic currency, Xu Lao, you also know, there are dozens of currencies on the market now, the former Qing Dynasty's silver ocean, copper yuan and even copper, the silver ocean of various countries, the paper money issued by the four major banks, the paper money of various countries, the various silver coins and copper coins minted by the provinces themselves, the bills issued by the bank, vouchers, etc., not to mention those ordinary people, even I am confused, so many currencies circulating in the market will only make the financial chaos Strict zhòng affects the normal economic exchanges between merchants, so I want to set up this national banking regulatory commission to prepare to unify the currency, so as to greatly alleviate the chaos in the domestic economy. ”

"The idea of a unified currency is good, but not to mention the attitude of the southern government, even the provincial overseers will not agree to it for their own money jars, this matter is too difficult." After listening to Guo Yu's words, Xu Shichang felt that Guo Yu had taken it for granted, the idea of unifying the currency was not unthought about by the government, but it was difficult to do, after all, it involved all aspects of things, as well as the interests of the provinces, and the southern government would not agree to it.

"I didn't think about it overnight, take your time, is it man-made." Guo Yu naturally knows that this matter is difficult, but if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge, and is there a more powerful business than controlling a country's finance, just look at the Federal Reserve in modern time and space.

"Since Hanyang has made up your mind, I won't say anything more, after all, if you can solve the matter of the Bank of Communications, I think the central government will consider your request, in my opinion, your three demands are very reasonable, and they are also for the interests of the country, I think those people in the government will seriously consider it." Xu Shichang said seriously.

Although Guo Yu's words are for the sake of the country, but with Guo Yu's style of acting, after all, there are deep meanings, but these are not what Xu Shichang needs to consider, after all, if Guo Yu really does these two major things, it will be very beneficial to the country, as for what benefits Guo Yu can get, then it doesn't matter what I Xu Shichang does.

"Old Xu, the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce invited Mei Lanfang, a famous Peking Opera artist, to come to Suzhou from Shanghai to sing the drama "Daiyu Funeral Flowers" in He Yuelou, Mei Lanfang's performance in Shanghai this time caused a sensation, so the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce moved to invite him to Suzhou, I know that you are from the north, how about listening to the play together at night." Guo Yu intended to let Xu Shichang relax, so he invited Xu Shichang to listen to the play together.

"Okay, I've heard a few of his plays in the capital, and now this Mei Lanfang is famous in Beijing, so I just want to enjoy it in the evening." Xu Shichang replied happily. Although he also likes to listen to the Kunqu Opera reviews in Suzhou, he is a northerner after all, and he still loves Peking Opera more, and he also knows that Mei Lanfang is not very old, but now he is a famous Peking Opera artist, and this time it is a new opera, so he naturally readily agreed.
