Chapter 73 Defeated

Or knowing that he always can't escape the control of the man behind him, Sun Xiaoyun asked helplessly: "What do you want?" Even if I'm not at the newspaper anymore, I might be transferred somewhere else. ”

"It's not what we want you to do, but what the revolution wants you to do, and the purpose of your joining the Revival Society is for that Yang Jingcheng. When Yang Jingcheng is gone, your task will be completed. The man looked at the woman's well-proportioned body and delicate face, and said with a smile: "Didn't you find a suitable man in the revival meeting?" ”

Hearing the man talk about marriage, Sun Xiaoyun's face turned blue and white for a while. When she was arranged to come to Shanghai, she just wanted to devote herself to Yang Jingcheng's side, and it was best to be his woman. But this Yang Jingcheng doesn't know whether she is a good woman or not, and she never shows her face. So after she stayed in Shanghai for a while, she slowly got used to this down-to-earth life, the monthly salary of the newspaper is not high, but she still allows him to live in Shanghai, but she doesn't want her to live a stable life, but the second brother who was the general brother before doesn't want her to be stable.

Seeing Sun Xiaoyun's reaction, the man only felt that it would be good to be here today. So he stood up, put on the flat hat hanging behind the door, and before opening the door, he explained: "Remember, the second brother is watching you, and the prime minister is also watching you." Then he opened the door, and as he was going out, he seemed to think of something, and smiled again, and said, "Do you have any money with you...... I forgot to say that the money for this box has not been paid yet, so I will bother you. "That's it, and then I went out.

Seeing that the door was slammed shut, Sun Xiaoyun scolded: "Hooligans! "The box was full of leftovers and fruit snacks. Coupled with the money in this box, it has to cost more than three or four yuan, which is her monthly salary.

The flat hat is out of Danguixuan. Only with the two people guarding outside into the night, in the bright night of the sea loach walk, and finally came to the Gaochang Temple Guiye, flashed into a roadside alley, only at the door of a courtyard for a while, then quickly into the courtyard. At this time, Chen Qimei, who was meeting guests inside, saw him appear. Hurriedly came out and led him to the study, only smiled and said, "Are......, come." Sit down and say, don't be in a hurry. ”

The man named Ah Rui sat down when he heard this, and said, "Second brother, it seems that Yang is no longer in Shanghai." He glanced up at Chen Qimei. I saw him frown slightly. Then he elaborated: "The woman said that she hadn't seen anyone surnamed Cheng in the past few days, and if the surname Cheng was in Shanghai, the newspaper would have been burned, and she would definitely go over to see it." Now no one is there, I'm afraid it's really not in Shanghai. And from the perspective of time, Yang Jingcheng went to Tianjin in April, and he didn't go back to Shanghai after going to Tianjin...... Second brother, we ......"

The burning of the Chinese Women's Newspaper was arranged by Chen Qimei after inquiring about the news from Fang Junying. Yunnan was chased by the Qing army afterwards, and the hundreds of rebels who crossed the border into Vietnam were cornered. was suddenly rescued by Fang Junying from the mines in Nanyang, and this money is not small. After Chen Qimei inquired carefully, she learned that the money was remitted from Shanghai by Cheng Ying Qiu Jinna and several traitors, and all of them gathered in this women's newspaper hall, and then thought that Cheng Ying finally married Yang Jingcheng, so there was such a fire, but I didn't expect that this Cheng Ying was no longer in Shanghai.

"What did Sun Xiaoyun say?" Chen Qimei regretted that she had to ask another thing.

"She, when I inquired about the matter, she didn't want to tell Cheng Ying's whereabouts, and then taught her a lesson before she was willing to say it, and now I asked her to transfer immediately and not stay in the women's newspaper all the time." Ari said.

"You didn't hit anyone, did you?" Chen Qimei knew that Ah Rui was a famous red-faced general and had a bad temper.

"No, no hits." Ari said busily.

"That's good." Chen Qimei said reassuringly, "She can only put a long-term line on her side, and it is difficult to break through from her." As soon as Chen Qimei said this, she saw that Ah Rui was a little slack, and only said: "Killing Yang Jingcheng is not the most important thing in terms of the moment, the most important thing is to act immediately." Now that the revival will be bigger and bigger in Yanzhou, the Manchus have already regarded it as another Hongyang rebellion, and the two sides are afraid that there will be another big war at the beginning of next year, so all localities are increasing taxes and taxes to organize and train new armies. Once the two armies fight, the two vast lands will be extremely empty, and this is a good time for us to do something. At that time, once Guangdong is recovered, then it will be able to occupy Guangxi, and then the southwest will be restored, and when the revival will be almost the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then it will be the time for our Northern Expedition. ”

Looking forward to a perfect future, Chen Qimei looked at the excited Ari and said: "Once the Northern Expedition is completed, there will be a large number of officers, and although there are hundreds of people in the Aoyama School in Tokyo now, it is still not enough. Ari, you must unite a group of comrades in school to prepare for the needs of the revolution in the future! ”

"But ......" Ah Rui didn't mention the others, and he was still very honest in the face of Chen Qimei, "But that Zhenwu School is just a preparatory class." I can't learn much, and besides, I only enrolled this year, and it will take two years to graduate, and then I will be able to enter the non-commissioned officer school. Second brother, can I make it in time? ”

"The students of the non-commissioned officer school, after graduation and returning to the new army, are just a pipe band, even if they join the alliance, they still have to be officials in the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only the students of the Zhenwu School could come to the side of the revolutionary army. Don't underestimate the students here, although this Zhenwu School is only a preparatory school, most of the people in it have attended the Martial Arts Academy in China, and there are still a few people like you who can enter the Baoding Army Accelerated School as soon as they take the exam. Now that the situation at home and abroad is turbulent, there are always some of your classmates who are passionate about revolution, and you must find them and unite them. Even if she knew that Ah Rui in front of her was not a gregarious person, Chen Qimei explained like this. Although there are Japanese people in Tokyo Aoyama School, there are few Zhejiang people in it, either from Liangguang or Lianghu. It is difficult for these people to become his descendants, and only by starting from Ah Rui's side, coupled with his own tossing in Shanghai, can he have a force in the future.

Feeling Chen Qimei's high hopes for him, Ari suddenly became energetic again, thinking only about how to unite his classmates after returning to Tokyo, but he thought about the matter in Shanghai again, and asked again: "Second brother, what should Sun Xiaoyun do here?" ”

"Leave her alone. I'll send someone to keep an eye on her. Chen Qimei said, and then took out a small black bag from the drawer prepared next to him, and said, "There are two hundred foreign yuan in it...... Speaking of money, he only saw Ah Rui get up and refuse with a face full of refusal. smiled: "This money is not for you, your summer vacation is coming to an end, after the start of school, you always have to spend money on entertainment, although the second brother has money here, but it is not much, you take it first, if it is not enough, then ask me." ”

See the funding of the event. Ari then took the money, and then the two talked to each other for a while before he left Katsurano. After Chen Qimei saw off Ah Rui, she returned to the living room. said apologetically to the people in the living room: "Brother Renjie, it's really ......"

Chen Qimei walked away for a moment, but the person who called the masterpiece didn't care, and only smiled: "It's okay." It's okay. The land of right and wrong in Shanghai. Ince, you have to worry! I am actually here for an urgent matter, and now the French are making a bad move, refusing to sell the 10 million franc bonds they had promised before, saying that they would only be issued if the Tongyi Bank had been in business for more than a year, and the shareholders were unwilling to invest any more money in it and wanted to withdraw their shares. ”

Brother Renjie is Zhang Jingjiang, and a large part of the money raised by the League in Guangxi is from him, but the money is limited after all, so he thought of setting up a bank to raise funds. Then he issued bonds on behalf of CrΓ©dit France, but this matter was yellow.

"Then why not find other banks to issue bonds on their behalf?" Chen Qimei heard that there were 10 million francs. Hurriedly asked the following.

"Foreigners have long been in good spirits, not only Huili, but I have also talked to several other French-funded banks, but they are all the same caliber, and they need a one-year business certificate, so that now the shareholders have to withdraw their shares and stop the operation. Ince, if you have any, you can help me persuade them, and if this bank can be completed, then there will be no worries about the funds for the revolution in the future. "Coming to Chen Qimei overnight, Zhang Jingjiang was really anxious, he wanted to intimidate those bank shareholders with Chen Qimei with a red face and a white face.

Seeing what he meant, Chen Qimei hesitated for a while, he is now hanging the signboard of the second hall of the Manchu Military Advisory Office, turning from a revolutionary party to a Qing official, his style is very magnificent, but there are not many people under him. Besides, although Na Liangbi was entrusted with important tasks, he was still wary in private, and many of the staff members of the Seventh Section were die-hard members of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made it very inconvenient for him to act in Shanghai, so he could only enter the concession at night in the name of visiting the kiln.

Seeing Chen Qimei's hesitation for a while, Zhang Jingjiang was afraid that he didn't understand the importance of the bank, and said: "Ince, this bank is extraordinary. The revival will have today's momentum, and those Ningbo people have made a lot of efforts. Now on the surface, this Ningbo businessman has nothing to do with Fuxing, but in fact, all the industries of Tianzihao are Ningbo shareholders. There is also the securities and stock exchange in Shanghai, which is also run by them, and the stock rises by one and the handling fee is charged, which is millions of yuan in a year. This money is much better than smuggling tobacco. Not to mention that the tobacco soil is being planted everywhere, it is authentic foreign soil, and after tax evasion, it is only 40 taels and 1 quintals of income, excluding dots, to earn 100,000 yuan, then it will be sold for thousands of taels ......of tobacco soil."

Zhang Jingjiang chattered, Chen Qimei felt annoyed, but when she listened carefully, her eyes lit up, and she said: "Since that Tianzi and that exchange are so profitable, wouldn't it be able to cut off their food and salary by telling the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

"This Manchu court has known for a long time, but what can it do, the exchange is in the concession, and the Tianzi number gathers the share capital of the major figures, not to mention that the Americans and the British have shares, that is, the prince of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that there is money in it. As long as they don't explicitly donate their money to the Revival Society to rebel, whoever moves them will not be a good deal. Zhang Jingjiang said this and shook his head, only applauding those Ningbo red guys, speculating on the revolution while doing business, and not owing anything, not like him, in order to support the revolution, the shops in various countries were sold, and the real estate industry in Shanghai was also sold several times, which was really a big loss.

"O Ince. If you want to make a revolution, money is the most important thing. Now relying on Mr. Nakayama to raise funds can no longer solve the problem, the important thing is to set up a bank, whether it is a bank to issue bonds, lend money, or even ...... Even if you donate money and run away after bankruptcy, you have to have a bank to make it happen. Zhang Jingjiang was rarely excited, although he had written a telegram of more than 100 words with his ideas and sent it to Sun Wen, but Sun Wen's understanding of finance was still only stuck in the "single tax system" and "price increase to the public", and did not support his Tongyi Bank plan, so he could only come to Chen Qimei.

"Brother Renjie, I have not vain your troubles, and I will try my best to find a way to facilitate this matter. It's just that I'm now a Manchu bureaucrat, surrounded by their people, and it's quite inconvenient to move! Don't be in a hurry. Give me three days, and after three days, I will definitely spare some people to help you persuade the disobedient shareholders. Chen Qimei said.

Seeing that Chen Qimei finally agreed to this matter, Zhang Jingjiang finally put his mind at ease. He took a sip of tea and said, "You told me before that you were going to deal with the Axe Gang, and I always felt that this was not the right way to go. The most effective person to defeat the revival will still shake its industry, how can he buy guns without money? How can I get paid? Therefore, it is one to defeat the Tianzihao, and it is another to defeat the securities and stock exchange. Especially the stock exchange in Shanghai, which is now overcrowded and making money every day. You think, if someone is trading, they throw a fake bomb into it. What will happen? ”

"Fake bomb?" Chen Qimei was surprised, "Bombs have always been real, why do you want to play fake this time?" ”

"There are Chinese people who trade on the exchange, and there are foreigners. It's okay for the Chinese to be dead. If it hurts a foreigner. Then they will definitely track down the murderer severely. Who else would do this today, except for the assassination of the revolutionary party? And in this revolutionary party, who else can throw bombs except our alliance? Zhang Jingjiang understood things very well, and when he saw Chen Qimei bowing his head and thinking deeply, he said again: "The battle in the money market is like a war, but it is different from a war. In addition to the real money in the battle in the money market, the more important thing is to hit the confidence and sharpness of the opponent. Once the opponent loses all his spirit, those retail investors who follow the trend will turn the gun and strike back. If there is a bomb in the exchange, then no one will trade anymore, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be good for us, the Xi family of the Dongting Gang, and the Shaoxing people who opened the bank, plus the French, to also open a stock exchange? ”

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Zhang Jingjiang's words only woke up Chen Qimei, this is completely another way to kill the Revival Association. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingjiang said again: "Besides, I heard that Japan has already studied how to make MSG, if the manufacturing method is bought, then it can completely persuade the Manchu Ministry of Commerce to cancel the MSG patent of Tianzihao." Tianzihao will earn four or five million foreign dollars of profit every year by relying on monosodium glutamate, and when other monosodium glutamate comes out, then they ...... In the past, Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, had raised the price of salt to suppress the Tianzihao, but the salt was only how much a catty, even if it was ten times more than that, it would not move the Tianzihao, but a new monosodium glutamate could really defeat it. ”

With more and more understanding of the Fuxing Society, Chen Qimei also knows that the Tianzi brand is the foundation of the Fuxing Society, this business is really complicated, at the beginning of the collusion with those foreign compradors in Ningbo, so it was able to gain a foothold in Shanghai, and then in order to protect itself, and pull the Americans into the shares, and endorse it, which was not seized and confiscated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty the year before last, and now, it is hooked up with Sheng Xuanhuai's iron factory, last time taking advantage of the US stock market crash, a huge amount of money, so that the Hanyang Iron Works not only completely got rid of the old debts, but also had a huge amount of money to expand the factorySince dealing with foreigners, for decades, China has only taken advantage of foreigners this time.

"Brother Renjie, can we run an exchange? And that MSG, doesn't it mean that something is fished out of the sea and processed repeatedly, I'm afraid that thing is difficult to make. Chen Qimei was skeptical, only thinking about the picture depicted by Zhang Jingjiang, and while trying to realize him, she was worried that it would not be possible.

"When Yu Huizu ran an exchange, few of the gentry in Shanghai knew what it was, although they pulled a lot of people into the shares, but everyone just made a part in Yu Huizu's face. At the beginning, although the exchange was built in style, few people went to trade, and it was only now that they saw the exchange making so much money, and everyone regretted that they didn't invest a little more money in it. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the daily operation of the exchange is handed over to Yu Huizu's Ningbo people, so which stock makes money in many cases? Which stock loses money? What is the volume trading price? There is also the issuance of new shares, but they are the only ones who are close to the water, and others may not know the inside story of these transactions even if they sit in the hall. In this money market, the news is money, they occupy that position exclusively, and make their own money solidly, do you think other people can not be red? Zhang Jingjiang asked rhetorically with red eyes, only seeing Chen Qimei as a wronged leader.

"Now there are many people who are interested in setting up another exchange, especially the people in Shaoxing, who are all opening money banks, and now they are very unconvinced by the people of Ningbo; There is also the Dongting Xi family, who wants to participate in the management of the exchange, and there are also complaints; Not to mention the foreigners, their previous exchange was only for foreigners, and now after the Chinese exchange is popular, it will also be open to the Chinese, but they can't pull new shares to be listed. My plan is to open a bank first. and then issued bonds, and then pulled the Shaoxing Gang, the Xi family, and foreigners. Open another exchange. When the time comes, the two will grab business, then it will depend on Ince you, as long as you can stop the Axe Gang, then our exchange will definitely be hot. After talking too much, Zhang Jingjiang only felt thirsty, took a sip of tea and said: "If there is that monosodium glutamate, I heard that the professor of a Japanese university has already studied it." Just because Tianzihao has a patent, it is not easy to produce. If we buy that recipe and start an MSG factory as well. As long as the government does not strictly investigate, the business will not be bad. When the time comes, don't talk about the price of selling Tianzihao, even if you sell half of it, you can make a lot of money. ”

Zhang Jing was born in the silk family of Jianghu Prefecture. You may know about the money market from time to time. But it's really not easy for industry, but for Chen Qimei, this is completely different, and when she was full of expectations, she discussed the details of everything with Zhang Jingjiang.

Someone was playing the idea of the Shanghai stock exchange, and Yu Huizu beat a few ahs. Looking at Zhang Kun from the side, he hurriedly asked, "Is Mr. Hanzhang okay?" Why don't you see it here today, and it's not too late to visit tomorrow? ”

In the tropical rainforest, it is common for this place to be infected or bitten by poisonous insects, but Yu Huizu still said: "I'm fine." It's just some... It's just a cold. If we leave, those Americans won't think we're softass. Keep going. Rest when you get to the campsite! ”

Seeing Yu Huizu's insistence, Zhang Kun couldn't persuade him anymore, according to the plan, they could only be in Rio and not enter the Amazon rainforest, but after all, this involved tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and they had to come and see it in person.

In fact, they are only carrying out the rubber speculation plan instructed by Yang Rui, and this scale is much larger than the previous two times, and now the rubber price on the London Stock Exchange is only two shillings, and then according to the Ministry of Commerce's estimate of the demand for rubber products in the US automobile industry, in fact, mainly the Ford Motor Company of the United States, the price of rubber will increase more than ten times, or even a hundred times, within two years. Everyone from the Ford Motor Company in the United States has not yet been there, but after a circle in Nanyang, several people have come to Brazil, South America.

The origin of rubber in the world is in the Amazon River basin in South America, where there are countless wild rubber forests, including Brazil and Bolivia border this piece of 180,000 square kilometers, called the Acre region of the most abundant rubber production, in 03 years after Bolivia and Brazil signed a final agreement, the development of this area of the last problem solved, a 227 miles long railway has been planned and built, once the railway is completed, then the wild rubber in the rainforest will continue to be transported to the United States, The trend of Nanyang Rubber's monopoly on the world rubber market will be broken, and it is believed that as soon as this news comes out, coupled with the operation of those bankers and speculators in the United States, then the stock price will fall.

There will be two speculative opportunities for the entire rubber stock, one is to buy up now, and then sit back and wait for the money to be collected, and the other is to buy down in the later stage to harvest the hot money that pours into the stock market. Of course, in addition to the demand for rubber from automobile companies such as Ford in the United States, the railway named Madaila-Mamoree is also the key. To grasp the progress of the railway, it is to grasp the progress of the rise and fall of the rubber market, and in extraordinary times, you can also use some methods to make the railway not be completed on time, or completed early, which depends on the actual needs.

Zhang Jingjiang believes that the defeat of the revival will start from the financial aspect, and similarly, Yang Rui also believes that if the Manchu Qing is to be defeated, it must also be started from the financial aspect. If the whole of China's liquidity is put into it, and then let it go to nothing, then the national economy will be shut down, and then the end of the Qing Dynasty will become the end of the Ming Dynasty, and under the tightening of silver, coupled with the expansion of auxiliary coins caused by floods and indiscriminate issuance of copper dollar banknotes, civil unrest will become more and more fierce in various places. A corrupt Manchu may have a hard time falling, but a Manchu who has lost blood will die of organ failure. Although half of the silver spilled out of the stock boom will be cheap foreigners, the remaining money will be enough to pay for the military expenses of the uprising and the upfront funds for the country's stability.

From the perspective of the Renaissance Society, this is a good thing that harms others and benefits itself, and from China's point of view, this is a bad thing that harms itself and others - if it does not prevent the tragedy from happening, it will also collude with foreigners to fight for the tiger. Yu Huizu heard that this plan was rejected, but Yang Rui's long telegram persuaded him again, Yang Rui's reason was that the annual outflow of silver was more than 200 million taels, and this money could not be made up even if it relied on more than 100 million remittances from overseas Chinese, and now let the foreigners get tens of millions, which is better than them getting 200 million a year. Yu Huizu received the telegram and felt justified, but on the day of the stock crash, he completely denied what he had thought before. (To be continued......)
