Zhang Tinglan took the opportunity of Zhengjin Bank being hit hard to quickly develop the official bank, so that Fengbao entered a spring. But according to the nature of the Japanese, it is absolutely impossible for them to accept defeat, so a counterattack is inevitable, and knowing that the Bank of Korea has replaced the Jeongjin Bank, Zhang Tinglan knows that the good days have passed and he must be ready.

Therefore, he first won the support of Zhang Zuolin and launched an action against the official bank, first transferring the reserves to the newly established Fengtian Bank, and then selling the power to issue currency to the Fengtian bank, so that the official bank became an empty shell.

The golden cicada shelling has been completed, but everything is a secret operation, for fear that Japan will get the news in advance. When everything was arranged, the Japanese really came to the palace and demanded that the official silver number be handed over, and Zhang Tinglan simply sold this empty shell to Katsuta.

As soon as Katsuta Nakamichi looked at the documents, he immediately knew that he had been deceived and spent a lot of money, but he only bought an empty shell, this guy was furious, and immediately went to Zhang Tinglan to settle accounts.

And Zhang Tinglan has arrived at the headquarters of Fengtian Bank at this time, although it has just been listed, but the preparation is already very thorough, the main person responsible for the preparation is Wang Yongjiang, because of Tang Yulin's matter, Wang Yongjiang asked Zhang Zuolin to resign several times, and Lao Zhang also agreed in order to calm the turmoil.

Wang Yongjiang did not leave Fengtian, but helped Zhang Tinglan in the affairs of Fengtian Bank, just before he took control of the official bank, Zhang Tinglan confided that he wanted to take the bank into his own hands, at that time Wang Yongjiang was still skeptical, and did not believe that this young man could do it.

After all, the power to issue currency is the lifeblood of the government, and Zhang Zuolin can't pass this hurdle. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pressed forward step by step, but Zhang Zuolin made up his mind, threw the official silver horn, and fell into the hands of the industrial group. And the industrial group is in the hands of Zhang Tinglan, which means that this young man has become the king of finance in Fengtian.

This kind of calculation ability made Wang Yongjiang feel a trace of fear, if in a few years, I am afraid that no one will be able to compete with Zhang Tinglan, and the appearance of such a demonic figure will be a blessing or a curse for Fengtian and even the whole of China, and it is really a little uncertain.

"Humble words, did you see it today? It's laid out early for today. ”

"Mr. Yongjiang, how can I have that ability, I just think that the Japanese have to make inches, and sooner or later they will attack the official silver number. The government's Liliang alone could not compete with the Japanese, so it was better to bring in as many allies as possible. Letting Fengtian businessmen take shares is a last resort. ”

"And what's the deal with getting Americans into the market?"

"Naturally, I am also looking for a backer. Do you fight raze with raze? ”

Since robbing the train. Zhang Tinglan re-evaluated Japan's shili in the northeast, the Japanese are far stronger than imagined, with the current strength of the Feng army, there is no capital to deal with the Japanese, Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to let Japan do whatever it wants in the three eastern provinces, and it becomes imperative to introduce Shili from other powers.

The first choice is the Americans. The United States, which was not affected by the First World War, and whose strength was strong, and the Japanese were fighting for hegemony in the Pacific, were absolutely willing to prop up a pro-American shili in the Far East.

The last time the parties agreed to produce the stock and magazine, it was a start. They were all testing each other, and this time Zhang Tinglan felt the strong pressure from Japan, and had to pull the Americans in and use them to fight against Japan, and he had 15 percent of the American shares in Mukden Bank.

"To put it mildly, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, they are all the way, and when using them, you must be careful of being calculated by them."

"Mr. Yongjiang, now is a race against time to see if the great powers have annexed us, or if we have Liliang enough to protect ourselves first."

Of course, Zhang Tinglan knew that the Americans were unreliable, and that they could only be a stopgap measure, in order to gain valuable development time. Wang Yongjiang also understood his thoughts, so he said: "To put it mildly, there must be a sense of urgency in Fengtian, walking a tightrope between the great powers cannot guarantee safety, and even the slightest carelessness will cause you to fall to your death." Wang Yongjiang still repeatedly reminded Zhang Tinglan to be careful.

While they were talking, there was a commotion outside, and several Japanese rushed in, led by Katsuta Nakamichi, who was grim-faced, limping and looking very funny.

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly won over, and asked with concern: "Mr. Shengtian, you were okay when we met just now, what's the matter now, do you need to see a doctor?" ”

Katsuta completely tore off the disguise of the past, his eyes were full of resentment, this guy saw the official silver number documents, knew that he had bought an empty shell, so he was ashamed and angry, flew up and kicked on the hardwood coffee table, it happened that the Japanese like to wear clogs, and the toes had no protection, and the toes were split at that time.

Blood was dripping down, the so-called ten fingers were connected to the heart, the toes were injured, and Katsuta's face was distorted. No matter how serious the physical pain is, it can't compare to the wound in his heart, he has been a genius since he was a child, and he has always been smooth sailing, and he has never suffered this kind of loss.

Therefore, Shengtian didn't care about the pain in his feet and directly found Zhang Tinglan.

"You dare to deceive the Japanese Empire, you must bear the wrath of the Empire, and you will never let you go!"

"Mr. Katsuta, how brainless are you saying this, we have enough respect for Japan, when have we been deceived, and there must be evidence for everything you say, isn't it good to spread rumors."

Katsuta grabbed the document, threw it in front of Zhang Tinglan, and shouted angrily: "Isn't this evidence that you deceived the Japanese Empire?" The official silver has been bought by you, and then sold to the empire, are you brushing children? ”

"Mr. Katsuta, you are ignoring the facts. As we said earlier, this is just a commercial transaction, it does not involve the government, and even if it is a fraud, it is a fraud of the North Korean bank, and it has nothing to do with the Japanese Empire, and if you can't even tell the difference between the government and the bank, we won't be able to communicate. ”

Zhang Tinglan then said: "You took the initiative to ask for the purchase of the official silver number, didn't you carefully inspect it before buying it?" I made a hasty decision, we can blame us, the mall is like a battlefield, you won't understand, right! ”

Katsuta was so angry that he didn't expect it. The excuse for Japan's annexation of the Guanyin Horn has in turn become a rhetoric for others to gag their mouths, and Katsuta's depression is indescribable. However, Katsuta also adhered to the usual arrogance and unreasonableness of the Japanese.

"Mr. Zhang, we just signed a draft contract, and I paid you a million yuan, which can't be counted."

"You don't want to continue to fulfill the contract, then you can hand over the remaining 1.5 million to us, it's really impressive that you can do this!."

"Dreaming!" Katsuta Nakamichi popped out these two words from between his teeth, and then said in a dark voice: "I mean the agreement has not been implemented. We have the right to abolish it, and I demand that we renegotiate it, and this time we are talking about the Mukden Bank, and also the right to issue tickets, and you must hand over these powers. Only this can appease the anger of the Empire, otherwise our army will take action. Get your hands on what belongs to Japan. ”

"I'm sorry sir. I want you to say it again! Someone said in half-baked Chinese, and Katsuta Nakamichi followed the voice, only to see a few Westerners walking over quickly, and it was a short and fat old man who said this.

He is dressed in a tuxedo, with a top hat on his head and a civilization stick in his hand. Dressed as a typical English gentleman, he walked up to Katsuta Nakamichi and said, "This gentleman, you threaten to use force against Mukden. Does it represent the attitude of the Japanese government? ”

Although Katsuta Nakamichi was angry, she hadn't lost her mind yet, and the sudden appearance of so many Westerners suddenly overwhelmed her, and she was afraid that things would be complicated again.

"This is my personal opinion, but the Imperial Government will also firmly safeguard our business interests, and will never allow the Imperial merchants to be tricked, and it is necessary to take decisive action to teach some of those who don't know what to do."

The British gentleman shook his head again and again: "I think you need to make one thing clear, Mukden is an important production base for munitions of the Entente countries, we have just carried out in-depth cooperation, and Mukden Bank has shares of our British businessmen." The British government will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Japanese rob, and such behavior will be spurned by the entire civilization. ”

"That's right, Mr. Alexander has a point, and the attitude of the American side is the same." A Westerner in his thirties, Sven Wen, also said: "The Cleveland consortium in the United States has just reached a cooperation with the Mukden Bank, and we have also taken a stake in the Mukden Bank, and the Japanese side must be clear that the factory in Mukden is producing gun parts for the United States, and we will never allow Japan to disrupt normal business exchanges." ”

With the Americans and Britain coming forward, Katsuta's arrogant momentum suddenly weakened a lot, after all, the current Japan is not strong enough to ignore Shijie, and Katsuta is not clear about the current situation, and does not dare to express his position casually, for fear that it will cause international disputes.

In addition, there is another name that makes Katsuta fearful, that is, the Cleveland consortium, which is one of the top ten consortiums in the United States, has a very strong strength in steel, oil and railroads, and the Cleveland consortium controls cotton exports, and Japan's textile industry has to import raw materials from the United States.

There is a handle in the hands of others, Katsuta does not dare to be arrogant, this American is called Kerry, he understands the situation, and then said to Katsuta: "Since Mr. Katsuta thinks that the agreement is just a draft agreement, then I suggest that the money you paid be returned to you, so that you have nothing to lose, but do not fight the idea of Fengtian Bank again, otherwise the United States reserves the right to take further action." ”

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Originally, we should have charged liquidated damages, but for the sake of the friendship between China and Japan, we will return all of them." ”

Someone generously returned the one million advance payment to Katsuta, and Katsuta Nakamichi was full of anger at this time, and he was actually tricked by the lowly Shina people, but he didn't know the situation and couldn't argue with the representatives of the United States and Britain, so he could only leave angrily.

However, after leaving Fengtian Bank, Katsuta Zhongdao suddenly woke up, he only got back one million, he had already prepaid Duan Zhigui two million before this, and now Fengtian Bank can't buy it, this money must not be cheap Duan Zhigui for nothing.

How stingy the Japanese are, Katsuta calculated, Duan Zhigui had been away for less than a day, and he should be able to intercept it, so he immediately sent a telegram to Feng Delin to ask him to take action, and Katsuta also promised that as long as it was intercepted, Japan would provide them with a loan.

After the poor and crazy Feng Delin got the news, he immediately took action, mobilized the army, intercepted the special train of His Royal Highness Duan, and found a total of more than 3.5 million in the car, Lao Feng made a windfall, Duan Zhigui scavenged all the money fell into Feng Delin's hands, Lao Feng was simply happy, but he didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that his image in Lao Yuan's heart was completely ruined, and it was simply worth the loss.

withstood the pressure of Japan, Zhang Tinglan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, but trouble came to the door again, the opium seized from Tang Yulin last time was from Rehe, and several batches of opium trafficked from Rehe were seized one after another, Lao Zhang was furious, and immediately decided to send troops to strictly investigate the border between the two provinces and completely eliminate drugs in Rehe, Zhang Tinglan's troops have also been training for several months, and it happened that Lao Zhang handed over the task to him.
