387 The thief became a big landlord
"Oh my God, that's a big deal! I don't know any news! Song Ziwen was a little angry, but also a little glad that Absinthe and those people in the Intelligence Bureau were quite effective and didn't leak the news.
"It's good that the news hasn't leaked! But digging people's ancestral graves, this thing ......"
Song Ziwen didn't know how to evaluate it, frowning slightly, a little troublesome.
There are still many Manchurians in the north, and many of the old and young are rich and powerful, so let them know that the imperial tomb has been stolen, and the turmoil will definitely not be small, and it may affect the rule of the Zhi Gong Party in the north in the future.
He didn't know how big a trouble Sun Dianying had made in history by digging up the imperial tomb unorganized and undisciplined, and the emotions of the Manchurians were certainly a problem, but the problem was not big, but it was a pity that those illiterate bandits destroyed Qianlong's funeral calligraphy and paintings, and the loss was much greater than losing a few pieces of gold, silver and jewelry.
However, under the instigation of the intelligence bureau behind the scenes, organized, disciplined, and premeditated tomb robbing, the losses were much smaller.
Most of the treasures were preserved, undamaged, and not sold abroad, but only transferred to the vault of the American-Chinese Bank, not far from the vault at Soong's feet.
Although he was a little angry, Song Ziwen also thought that the deal was done well, but it was not easy to say it.
"It's also in the vault of the American-Chinese Bank, I'll show you there later." Lin Yimin said with a smile.
He added, "I have already obtained the right to dispose of the treasure of the Imperial Tomb, if you do not object, I am ready to give a part of the treasure to Nanhua to offset the gold owed to them." ”
"Good! I agree. Song Ziwen nodded.
"Today you have given me a lot of knowledge! The harvest is not shallow, the harvest is not shallow! The next time I meet Situ Nan, I'll ask him. He didn't tell me what other treasures he was hiding. ”
He smiled and complained about Situ Nan. Meilu is also good. Kadoorie Gardens too. is still worn by Situ Nan on weekdays, Song Ziwen can't imagine that this guy has so many treasures hidden in private.
If Lin Yimin hadn't mentioned it, Song Ziwen would still be in the dark. Since Lin Yimin told himself, he naturally got Situ Nan's authorization. Thinking of this, Song Ziwen was not angry again.
In addition to being surprised, Song Ziwen also had to go back and reacquaint himself with Lin Yimin.
"You've been so calm all these years!" Song Ziwen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Yimin, he had a face younger than himself, and his height and appearance were not outstanding.
"I didn't want to be greedy. If you don't like to wear gold and silver, what's the pressure? Do you think those so-called treasures are comparable to a machine production line, a refrigerator made in China, and a small county town with several factories? ”
Lin Yimin shook his head and said disdainfully. Lin Yimin was deeply influenced by Situ Nan, and did not learn Situ Nan's art appreciation level, and he was no worse than Situ Nan in terms of industrial party tendencies.
"Hmm."
Song Ziwen nodded, he is not a greedy person.
In Lin Yimin, he once again strongly felt Situ Nan's breath.
Yes. Lin Yimin has been learning and even directly said that he is imitating Situ Nan, low-key and profound. As a result, people's eyes are focused on himself, the glorious prime minister, but they often ignore Lin Yimin, the finance minister and central bank governor.
Originally, public opinion should not ignore Lin Yimin, a high-ranking and powerful guy, but this guy did it, Lin Yimin's news can't be seen in the general newspaper media, and folklore also discusses more about his Song Ziwen's new policy, how many things he has done, how much limelight he has made, and Lin Yimin's appearance is mostly in the name of the Ministry of Finance and bank official institutions, and his personal performance is rarely discussed.
Therefore, when people talk about Lin Yimin, in addition to knowing this person's name, he has a lot of power, but more gossip news can't be said, and it is not as dazzling as Song Ziwen and their Song family, and it is easy to make news and make headlines.
"Be a low-key person, how can a transactional official like me steal the limelight from Ziwen? It's not that the people are blind and uninformed, it's just that they are of a low level, they don't have much access to information, and they can only understand the information that is widely disseminated in society on the surface, and their perception is very important to the people who represent the face of the government as a leader in doing this, but an official like me who manages finances and formulates policies is mainly about how much can be done to show them the scene you depict.
Ordinary people only see the results, how many people can understand the operating mechanism behind the decision-making and the people who execute it? Don't you also say that I have too many secrets hidden? It's only going to push you to the front and cover us who are not very tolerant of the sun. ”
"With this gold, I have the bottom in my heart, the government can issue more fiat currency, there will be enough funds for domestic construction projects, and there will be enough foreign exchange to import foreign machinery and technology."
Song Ziwen nodded, reached out and touched the gold brick, feeling heavy and very thick, which made him feel at ease. For ordinary people, gold means temptation, and it is easy to lose their minds. To rulers beyond wealth, this gold is just a resource, a force that allows them to do more.
The international gold price is less than 30 US dollars per ounce, a ton of gold is worth more than 100,000 US dollars, about two or three million legal dollars, and 100 tons of gold is only more than 200 million and less than 300 million legal currency, which is not enough to make Song Zi Wenlin and his people crazy.
But gold is gold after all, and the meaning of representing is far more than two or three billion fiat currency. With this amount of gold, the Ministry of Finance can issue several times more currency, build thousands of kilometers of railways or build a few more steel complexes such as the Hanyang Iron Works, and increase domestic steel production by another 1 or several hundred thousand tons, which will be reflected in GDP by at least 20 or 30 percent.
Isn't the power of finance just a dollar worth ten dollars?
"Although we still have to pay back the borrowed things, Nanhua really helped us a lot this time, and we owe a lot of favors." Song Ziwen said with emotion.
"So, we also want to repay them as much as possible, and it's better that they pick up all those old antiques, so that we don't have to return their gold." Lin Yimin said with a smile.
"Do you have any requests from the Chinese Bank and Kadoorie Jr.?" Song Ziwen asked.
……
Song Ziwen was really not at ease, and he was also a little curious, after coming out of the vault. I went to the underground vault of the American-Chinese Bank again. Sure enough, I was stimulated a lot there.
In a teahouse in Hankow. A big man with a pockmarked face in a black robe listened leisurely to the opera on the radio, twisting peanuts and drinking a sip of wine from time to time.
He is Sun Dianying, and he is in a good mood because he has recently made a deal and made a lot of money.
He still remembers that his father was arrested and killed in prison for arguing with the Manchus for the township, and this hatred has never been forgotten. This is not? I just avenged my father's murder.
The imperial court is gone, and the Manchurians who used to be high in the past have not been used indiscriminately, who dares to theorize with Sun Dashuai?
Sun Dianying took a sip of the spirits, it was hot, and she was very relieved.
However, this is Wuhan, and the Wuhan government pushed the front line into the Central Plains and took Henan, which is Sun Dianying's hometown, as a warlord of little fame. He is stationed in Hebei, how can he not worry about his future?
In case you don't pay attention one day. The southerners fought the Yellow River and occupied Hebei? Where do you go from here?
To be honest, he has never understood what the Wuhan gang thinks?
If it is himself, he will not cross the Yellow River while the soldiers are strong and strong, and destroy Zhang Dashuai, Feng Dashuai, and Yan Dashuai in the north, so that he can be the king and hegemon?
Mother-in-law and mother can't do anything!
Sun Dianying pursed his lips, very disdainful, but as soon as he saw Dai Chunfeng's feminine and white face come in, his attitude immediately became enthusiastic and he bent his waist.
"Director Dai, what do you think of this?" After three rounds of drinking, Sun Dianying opened his mouth and asked, not forgetting to open his heart to show his heart, "Brother, I am honest and sincere for the revolution, and my old grandson was the first to take the lead for Wang Shi, so I have nothing to say." ”
"Okay, Sun Dashuai, don't say such polite words! You also know from our side that the establishment is too rigid, and if you are really co-opted according to our rules, I guess you will not be happy. ”
Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and pierced Sun Dianying's thoughts, just those people under Sun Dianying still want to hold the jobs of the revolutionary army? Isn't it a disgrace to the revolution?
"It's over, Director Dai, my grandson is a revolutionary-minded person, didn't he listen to the orders of Lord Ku (Absinthe) last time? Lao Sun didn't give a little discount to the revolutionary government! ”
Sun Dianying was unhappy, so she pretended to be unhappy.
"It's better for you to rot in your stomach in that matter, and you should be optimistic about the people below, otherwise you will be the first to be unlucky!"
Dai Chunfeng glared at Sun Dianying, his eyes were cold, and he warned this guy not to look for trouble.
"Yes! Listen to you. Lao Sun will never talk nonsense. Sun Dianying assured. As he said, once the matter breaks out, the unlucky one must be himself, at least his reputation is notorious, in case these grandsons in Wuhan unload the mill and kill the donkey, he will be uncomfortable.
"Last time, your performance was good, Shangfeng was satisfied, and I also followed suit, but I asked you for money and guns, and I didn't treat you badly at all. The arms we gave you are enough for you to be on the loose for a long time. ”
Dai Chunfeng said with a smile, and after beating Sun Dianying, he smiled at him again, but he never agreed to compile it for Sun Dianying. In other words, Sun Dianying has no way to take refuge.
Dai Chunfeng told Sun Dianying that the government has taken a fancy to Henan's coal and iron, and has no intention of continuing to expand northward, so that he can rest assured, even if he listens to Zhang Dashuai's words in the north and fights the revolutionary army with Zhang Dashuai, it doesn't matter, the revolutionary army has enough shells, let you come and stay as much as you want.
Sun Dianying was surprised and delighted by what he said, and he was half convinced.
But he didn't suspect that Dai Chunfeng was blowing the cow, he had been to the Hanyang Arsenal in the past few days and saw that the southern Yankees were very good at making weapons.
Sun Dianying also gained a lot, not to mention the updated equipment of the troops, he himself also saved 10 million yuan in the Bank of the United States!
It's a pity that tomb robbery can only be done once, otherwise his Sun Dashuai will have a fat life.
"There's another thing, a good thing, are you happy to see it?" Dai Chunfeng squeezed his eyes at Sun Dianying, and his smile was a little mysterious.
"Speak!" Sun Dianying smiled slightly and leaned his face over.
"You know Nanhua, right? There is a shortage of manpower and a lot of land, and last year 100,000 people in your hometown of Henan went to Nanyang to work, and many of them were divided into land. There is a lot of land over there, fat and cheap, and recently those people in the south have robbed a lot of land from the natives, and I know a friend in Nanyang, who has tens of thousands of hectares of land in his hands, and is looking for a domestic buyer? ”
Dai Chunfeng said.
"Tens of thousands of hectares? How many acres does that get? I don't read much, can you help me do the math? Sun Dianying's eyes widened, very surprised.
"One hectare is 15 acres, and 10,000 hectares is more than 100,000 acres." Dai Chunfeng said lightly.
"Oh my goodness! In the past, the banner man didn't rob the Han people so much land! ”
Sun Dianying secretly calculated in his heart, he knew that the Han people went to Nanyang to farm, but he didn't know much, and he was startled by the news brought by Dai Chunfeng, Sun Dianying, a ruthless man who could rob hundreds of thousands of acres of land at a time, wanted to see and understand! Ordinary people can't do this.
I also want to send someone to take a look, and if the land is good, then buy some.
"Lao Sun, I see that you are very righteous, brother, I will give you a piece of advice, you should leave a way back for yourself. Whether we win the world or others win the world, we will not have your share in the future, after all, those people under you are too rude, and if you don't speak well, you can't get on the stage. If I hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on it last time, I would have almost messed up the coal digging thing. Why not take advantage of the opportunity now to buy yourself some property? ”
Dai Chunfeng said earnestly, secretly paying attention to Sun Dianying's expression, seeing that he was tempted, he thought: Introducing this deal, I can also earn a lot of commissions.
Making money is not the main business, but it does not prevent Dai Chunfeng from doing things that kill two birds with one stone.
Under Dai Chunfeng's line, Sun Dianying saw Jiang Weiji, and began to be surprised by Jiang Weiji's identity, and after learning about Jiang Weiji's deeds of suppressing bandits, he admired it even more.
Hello me, hello everyone!
Jiang Weiji was very enthusiastic in the face of Sun Dianying, a big customer, and worked part-time as Sun Dianying's investment consultant, explaining to Sun Dianying the most popular and potential rubber plantation for land investment in Nanhua.
Sun Dianying was not polite, and after sending someone to Nanhua to investigate, he really ate 10,000 hectares, that is, 150,000 mu of land, in one go, and became a veritable big landlord.
His subordinates were no exception, and they also followed Sun Dashuai to buy real estate in Nanyang, sending old family members and friends to Nanyang to manage the estate.
"Brother, after this transaction, Lao Tzu's money in the bank was empty in a few days, and even the hearts of those bastards under his command were scattered, and the brothers' troops have been reduced a lot, what do you call this?"
When they met again, Sun Dianying held Dai Chunfeng's hand painfully.
"Isn't this very good, your grandson doesn't want to be a king, what great feats to do, don't you just want to run a rich family business with a life? You also made a living for your brothers, and now you've done it. ”
Dai Chunfeng smiled and said, "Just do an apartment in Wuhan and Shanghai, and go abroad to see the harvest when you have time, how good your life is!" To tell you the truth, the warlords of Beiyang and the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have all set up a lot of industries on our side and in Nanyang. ”
"Brother, you can talk about dead people, I know that you have bad intentions, how can I listen to it comfortably." Sun Dianying pointed at Dai Chunfeng and said with a smile, give up the army and become a rich man? He was not willing to give up.
When the revolutionary army went north to "annihilate" itself, he was convinced, and maybe he gritted his teeth and went to Nanyang to be a landlord. (To be continued.) )
