Chapter 522: You Deceive Me

Since the next morning, due to the uncertainty of the news, many investors who cut meat in the panic have bought the bottom, and the buying has gradually become active, and there has been a wave of rebound in house prices and land prices, and with the calm of the news, the rebound has evolved into a reversal trend.

Just when the eyes of the trapped were in sight, the bottom copyers made a lot of money, and everyone was happy, three days later, the Jiangsu Provincial Government took the former British Concession into Baoshan County under trusteeship, and vigorously developed low-rent housing and affordable housing in the former British Concession with 2,000 acres of Wen Jiàn officially issued, and suddenly, the second wave of the Shanghai real estate market began to fall off cliffs!

"Two hundred acres west of Suzhou Creek, with beautiful scenery, mixed between Shanghai and the concession, eight folds, eight folds, who wants?"

"Fuck you, dare to sell this kind of rotten land for a 20% discount? Lao Tzu is more dependent on the concession than you, and he will sell it at a 7% discount, who wants whom? ”

"Six-fold, six-fold!"

In the trading hall, the title deed was waving, the heat was smoking, everyone was shouting at the top of their voices, and only the slightest expression of interest was immediately surrounded by a large number of sellers, but at such a time, who would dare to take over?

The price leaked like an avalanche, and then it passed overnight, almost falling back to the original point.

Shanghai county magistrate and land king Xu Maode went bankrupt overnight, more than 3 million taels in debt, jumped the Huangpu River late the next night, this is no way, he used to buy the land, a considerable part of the funds are financed, when the local price plummeted, the owner of the money bank ticket number almost broke through his door, forcing him to only take the property mortgage, and he is not alone on the Huangquan Road, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 investors who committed suicide in various ways.

The losses of the money bank are also extremely heavy, not only can they not recover the principal and interest they lent, but also according to their hands. It's just pieces of worthless barren land, and Qian Zhuang is also the main force involved in speculating on land prices. Deeply trapped!

A large number of small money banks closed their doors in the run, including Hu Xueyan's Fukang Money Bank. Hu Xueyan had no choice but to go out to the beach and go north to find development, he couldn't go if he didn't go, and he still had a million taels of silver tickets in the hands of the Democratic League.

In addition to the Chinese speculators who suffered heavy losses, the foreigners did not run away, and all the foreign businessmen who participated in the speculation were only left with their pants, and for a while, Shanghai Tang scolded loudly. However, in the scolding, there are also applauding, because the price of land has plummeted, housing prices and rents have also plummeted, and the cost of people who really do business and business has dropped a lot.

"Bang!" With a bang, Robertson, the British consul in Shanghai, slammed the table, and he was in a terrible mood since he became consul in Shanghai. In terms of official affairs, not only did he achieve nothing, but he was also forcibly occupied by the Democratic Alliance Army, what he could do. It's just a routine protest, and in terms of private affairs, he is also speculating in real estate and has no return. A full 50,000 pounds of money was invested, and the current market value is less than 20,000 pounds. It's still rich on paper, and if you want to realize it, you have to discount it again.

Look at the piles of title deeds on the table. Robertson only felt his heart twitch, this is his pension money, he is different from the Chinese, the Chinese hold a title deed in hand, at least the land is their own, you can wait slowly, and he must leave China after the expiration of his term, if he can't cash out before leaving, then these title deeds will be equivalent to waste paper.

"Sir, Wang Feng, commander-in-chief of the Democratic Alliance, asks to see you." Just as Robertson's bowels were blue, a clerk appeared outside the house and called inward.

Today's British Consulate in Shanghai is only a lonely building, and there is not a single British armed man, and soldiers sent by the Democratic Alliance Army are responsible for guarding it.

"Is that him?" Robertson subconsciously stood up, and a very bad premonition came to his heart, he didn't think that Wang Feng would be good if he visited him.

Quickly calming down, Robertson called, "Please come in, Commander Wang." ”

"Yes!" The clerk turned around, and after a while, with the sound of laughter, Wang Feng led Sheng Xuanhuai in.

"Mr. Robertson, my old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you alright?" Wang Feng smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Although Robertson scolded a good fart in his heart, out of diplomatic etiquette, he still shook hands with Wang Feng very politely.

After letting go, Wang Feng just saw the title deed on the table, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Robertson is also interested in our real estate in China, I have to praise you for your vision, China's future is bright, investing now will bring you unimaginable returns, I build yì you hold it for a long time." ”

Robertson almost couldn't control the urge to scold, is this a compliment or a loss, this damn Chinese real estate market, that's a loss of money!

After taking several deep breaths, Robertson said with a cold face: "Mr. Wang Feng, your government's crude intervention in the economy is an act that disrespects the market, and sends a signal to the outside world that this is not a responsible government, which will affect investors' confidence in China. ”

"Oh?" Wang Feng was surprised: "Mr. Robertson, shouldn't you lose money?" ”

"This" Robertson's old face turned red, and then he snorted hard: "On behalf of the British businessmen, I lodge a protest to your government and strongly demand that your government compensate the British businessmen for their losses, otherwise, we will consider whether it is necessary to continue cooperation with China?" ”

"Are you threatening me?" Wang Feng's face sank, and a cold glow bloomed in his eyes.

Robertson suddenly felt a chill in his heart, this guy is a master who does not play cards according to common sense, not to mention that after the damn revolution broke out in Britain, the national strength was greatly damaged, and he had no ability to interfere in the affairs of the Far East in a short period of time, and there was a lack of military support behind him, so he didn't speak hard, at this time, he had no confidence to argue with Wang Feng.

"Humph!" Wang Feng snorted coldly: "Mr. Robertson, I haven't settled accounts with you for your sinister intentions of inducing the diversion of industrial funds and sabotaging China's industrialization process, but you blame me first, well, I'm stacking my words here now, whoever wants to leave will not be kept!" ”

was buttoned down by a big hat out of thin air, to be honest, is it really as Wang Feng accused of destroying China's economy, Robertson doesn't care, the dignified people of the British Empire, destruction is destruction, so what? But he dared to swear to God, he and all the British businessmen just wanted to take advantage of the real estate boom to make some difference, and had no other thoughts, he was wronged, after all, with the strength of the foreign businessmen in the concession, it was not enough to control the real estate in Shanghai.

However, Wang Feng can speak hard words, Robertson can't speak, the British merchants in China can basically make a lot of profits through normal trade, if they annoy Wang Feng really do something stupid, the British businessmen will not be able to let him go, and as a proud British citizen, he does not bother to explain to Wang Feng.

Robertson could only hold back his anger and said, "Mr. Wang Feng, if you are here to quarrel, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you." ”

"Of course not, I'm not that boring." Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "I ask the British side to withdraw from Shanghai Customs and hand over the rights and interests of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army." ”

"Impossible!" Robertson refused!

"Why are you?" Wang Feng asked coldly.

yes, why? By force? How can Britain have force at present? Reasonable? Will this guy be reasonable?

Robertson calmed down instantly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and he knew that if this problem was not handled well, not only would his diplomatic career come to an end, but his reputation would also be completely ruined.

The surrender of the customs control is different from the forcible repossession of the concession by the Democratic Alliance, the concession was obtained by deception, and the scope agreed on the deed is only a very small piece of land, and more importantly, the Democratic Alliance army took back the concession, and there was no substantial loss to the British side, and the freedom and security of British expatriates and British businessmen were not affected, on the contrary, the military and defense expenditures were reduced without garrisoning, and hundreds of British troops were stationed in the concession, and if they really wanted to clash with the Democratic Alliance army, it was estimated that they would be the first to surrender.

And the interests involved in handing over the customs control are too great!

Robertson wiped his sweat and spread his hands innocently: "I'm sorry, the decision on this matter is not mine, I'm just a consul"

Wang Feng interrupted: "Mr. Robertson, you said something similar to that to me before I went abroad, and at that time I naively thought that the honesty of the British was matched by his civilized course, but you deceived me, and the citizens of the most developed country on earth would actually deceive me!"

I authorized Sheng Xuanhuai to negotiate with you, but you always procrastinated, did you bully him for being a child? Well, now I ask you, do you want to let the customs control or not? ”

Robertson's sweat flowed down his cheeks again, and Wang Feng's words had a hint of ultimatum, obviously losing patience, and the consequences of letting him be unbearable, but with Wang Feng's identity, if he didn't let it, it was very likely to turn around and leave, and no one knew what would happen next!

The unknown is the most frightening!

Facing a strong and unreasonable opponent, Robertson once again had a feeling of being exhausted when he saw Wang Feng two years ago.

Shaking his head violently, Robertson said without giving up: "I know that you are ready to make a strong move, and with our current British strength in the Far East, we will not be able to stop you, but I must remind you of two things!"

First of all, it will make the United States and France uneasy, they also have the control of Shanghai Customs, I know that for the time being, France and the United States have a good relationship with you, and even help you build shipyard warships, have you considered the consequences of their uneasiness?

Secondly, you're going to build your own country soon, right? I think you should be happy to integrate into the international family, and today's world is a law-oriented, orderly civilized world, the legal provisions are greater than a qiē, if you forcibly seize the right to control customs, it will bring a bad impression of unruly to the countries of the world, just ask in this way, who would dare to associate with you? And even who would dare to establish normal diplomatic relations with you?

Of course, if you insist on going your own way and insist on forcibly taking the control of customs, I have nothing to say, and I will not kick the ball to Mr. Belling again, so you can send troops over. (To be continued......)
