Chapter 106: Feng Shui Rotates
"Humble words, I heard that after Nomura Taro knew the news, he passed out and died, and he is still in the hospital. I don't know how life and death are, this is called evil retribution, this guy thinks about the official silver number every day, and he gets into trouble first! ”
After Nomura received the news of the collapse of the Slavic Bank, he suffered a stroke and passed out on the spot, foaming at the mouth and unconscious. Wang Yongjiang has always been calm, and with his cultivation, he will not gloat, but when he heard Nomura fall, he still couldn't stop being happy, this ambitious poisonous snake was finally finished.
This is not only as simple as taking down an opponent and striking at Zhengjin Bank, but also shows that Zhang Tinglan's strategy is initially successful, if it can send the Japanese into the trap as envisaged, the pressure on China's shoulders can be instantly reduced, and it can also avoid losing power and humiliating the country.
"Mr. Iron Niche, no matter how powerful the external enemy is, it is not terrible, and the most terrible thing is the inner ghost. This time, fortunately, the Russian side launched it in time, otherwise the official silver would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. ”
"It's not just the official silver number, the Japanese also want the right to export trade, if the Japanese really get their wish, I'm afraid that all the factories and workshops in Mukden, including the farmers, will have to work for the Japanese! Duan Zhigui is not only mediocre, but also has no backbone, let him guard the three eastern provinces, Yuan Shikai is really dizzy! ”
Zhang Tinglan had already placed people around Duan Zhigui, so his conversation with Lost Field was told to Zhang Tinglan word for word. After knowing the plans of the Japanese, a cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tinglan's head, the Japanese were too ambitious, but they seized the most favorable opportunity, Zhang Tinglan really did not dare to confront Japan head-on.
Therefore, the only way to get the issue of bonds out is to make Russia chaotic as soon as possible, and then involve the energy of the Japanese. In fact, according to Zhang Tinglan's assumption. I didn't want to betray Grand Duke Nikolai, after all, this guy was in a high position and was an ally in some way.
But the Japanese are so ruthless, Zhang Tinglan can't be polite, the dead friends are not the poor, at this time, it is necessary to make a loud enough noise to have a fatal impact.
Zhang Tinglan bribed the palace attendants to deliver the evidence of Nicholas smuggling arms and smuggling gold to the empress. Along with the account records of the irregularities of the Slavic banks, they were also sent.
The Tsar drove the expedition in person, and the empress sat in Petrograd, she obeyed the words of the demon monk Rasputin, and she had long looked down on Nikolai, who relied on the old and sold the old, so she seized the handle. The empress immediately ordered Nikolai to be placed under house arrest, and then a thorough investigation of Nikolai's property. At the same time, Slavic banks were seized.
In just three or four days. Russian politics has changed dramatically, and the once hot Slavic banks have closed their doors. The bonds that were issued turned into blank paper in an instant, worthless, and almost all investors were considered miserable.
Nomura got more than 3 million ocean bonds from Zhang Tinglan, and now all of them are waste paper, if you add the losses caused by counterfeit money. The total loss was more than 5 million yen.
The total assets of a Zhengjin bank were only 3,000 yen, but as a result, one-sixth of them were lost all of a sudden, which was equivalent to squeezing out all the liquidity of Zhengjin Bank, and the bank was on the verge of life and death in the blink of an eye.
The larger the enterprise. The ability to take risks is not necessarily greater. Large companies also mean big expenses, and day-to-day expenses alone are astronomical, and if cash flow suddenly breaks, it can immediately fall into crisis.
The reason why Nomura fell ill and didn't improve at all was probably because of fear, he caused such a big loss to the bank, and if he woke up, I am afraid that there would be only one way to disembowel.
If Nomura can survive for a long time, then Miki is really at a dead end, in order to promote the arms trade between Japan and Russia, he bought a full 8 million Slavic bank bonds, and it is with this money that Nikolai finally spoke for Japan and facilitated the arms trade.
Now that Nikolai has been arrested, Miki has lost more than 8 million yen, and may even threaten the arms trade between Japan and Russia, which is really fatal! Therefore, after Miki got the news, the world turned around at that time, and he had been working for the Mitsui chaebol, and he was used to seeing the ups and downs, and he knew the characteristics of the Japanese very well.
The people of the island country are cold by nature, worship the strong, despise failure, don't look at the glory of Miki, they all bow and worship, once they fail, just the indifferent eyes around them are enough to kill them.
Miki is actually a very paranoid and arrogant person, he definitely doesn't want to live in humiliation, this guy chose to commit suicide without hesitation.
Blood was dripping down the blade, and Miki died like a reptile, and no one cared if he lived or died.
Japan had even greater trouble to deal with, and the collapse of the Slavic Bank, in the eyes of many, was just a victim of the infighting in Tsarist Russia, and no one could have imagined that it was actually a magical butterfly with wings stirred up and a storm brewing in the Far East.
Miki committed suicide and Nomura fell ill, these two guys were originally the vanguard of Japan's economic aggression in Mukden, and after they fell, Japan's economic deployment in Mukden was briefly chaotic, and the pressure on Mukden suddenly decreased.
As the main buyer of Slavic bank bonds, the news of the heavy losses of Zhengjin Bank also came out, and the bonds of Zhengjin Bank were sold off in large quantities. During World War I, in order to promote industrial development, Japan issued a large number of bonds and provided loans to factories, and the common people also had a lot of bonds in their hands, so they also joined the ranks when they saw a large number of sell-offs.
It was only then that the Japanese government felt the slightest bit uncomfortable, but they did not take it seriously, but severely condemned the bond sell-off in the newspapers, accusing it of betraying the country, and at the same time the Japanese tried to prove that the bank was still strong and there were no problems.
But their action was too late, and what they initially sold was only the capital in Zhang Tinglan's hands, and his capital was not strong, even if they were all pressed up, it would only reduce the bond by three percent. But that was enough, and the Jewish consortium, which had long been poised for a long time, randomly launched an action, and Pandora's box was opened.
These conglomerates aggressively sold the bonds of Zhengjin Bank and even shorted the yen. Immediately after that, the Japanese people, out of panic, no longer ignored the government's warnings, and began to sell bonds in large quantities. Not only the bonds of Zhengjin Bank, but also banks and corporations such as Mitsui Bank, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Nagasaki Shipyard were all blindly sold.
For a time, Japan's financial market was facing the danger of collapse, and this situation was also related to the numerous contradictions in Japanese society, and the gap between the rich and the poor became more and more serious. However, the Japanese government also asked the people at the bottom to buy a large number of bonds to support the country's development, and as a result, these Japanese could no longer sit still after seeing that their hard-earned money could become a pile of waste paper.
In the face of the sudden wave of sell-off, although the Japanese government was caught off guard, it still has enough ways to deal with it, and it is completely possible to use the sufficient capital in its hands to stabilize the financial market.
However, the Japanese thought things simply, the major banks were unstable, and even the yen began to depreciate, and a series of things were like dominoes, one fell and the next could not be saved.
The depreciation of the yen has exacerbated the rise in prices in Japan, grain, vegetables, and daily necessities have begun to grow wildly, and the burden on the Japanese people has suddenly increased significantly.
At this time, when those consortia saw the soaring price of grain, they actually engaged in hoarding, hoping to make up for the loss of bonds with grain, and it was their move to add fuel to the fire and completely detonate all kinds of contradictions in Japanese society.
In Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, and other places, there was a trend of rice grabbing, and hungry people smashed through various grain stores to snatch the rice from the white flowers, and Japan's social order was greatly impacted.
These things happened less than a month before and after, and the Japanese government was completely passively beaten. Originally, the Japanese were gearing up and even clamoring for the use of force against China, but before they could transfer their troops, they became confused.
There was trouble in Japan, and the Japanese soldiers along the South Manchurian Railway could not toss it anymore, although the Japanese minister Nippon Zhiyi was still constantly putting pressure on Yuan Shikai and roaring at President Yuan, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a bluff.
This month has been a kind of torment for the whole Feng army, especially Zhang Tinglan, he doesn't have many chips in his hands, except for providing information to get the Grand Duke Nicholas, he intervened in the early stage of selling bonds, and he can only wait stupidly for the rest of the time.
In addition to reading the newspaper every day, I found Fred and learned about the first movements of the consortium through him. The safety of the entire three eastern provinces is all on the front line, if Japan is not chaotic, then the unlucky ones must be the three eastern provinces, as long as the Japanese rely on intimidation, they can make Yuan Shikai make concessions.
Fortunately, everything was deduced according to Zhang Tinglan's script, and the contradictions in Japan broke out in advance, and the rice riots spread to dozens of cities in Japan, and trade union organizations and left-wing political parties also took the opportunity to join in, organize demonstrations, snatch rice warehouses, attack the government, and stir up a miasma in Japan.
"Mr. Iron Shrine, the Japanese government has used force to suppress the people who are revolting, it seems that the island country is going to be full of corpses, and our pressure has finally disappeared!"
Wang Yongjiang nodded with emotion: "Humble words, your calculation ability is far better than that of Zhuge Wuhou, which is admirable!" ”
"Mr. Iron Shrine, don't praise me, this is just atonement for my sins, if the Japanese really use force against Mukden, I will become a national sinner. Fortunately, now that the danger is basically lifted, the Japanese were arrogant and domineering some time ago, and now it is time for them to suffer a little. ”
Zhang Tinglan showed a smug smile on his face: "We made a small profit from selling bonds this time, and we also have more than two million yen, since Zhengjin Bank can run us, then we can also run back." Sooner or later, only the tickets can be circulated on the surface of the heavens and the earth, so let the Japanese get rid of the golden tickets and bank bills! ”
"Feng Shui takes turns, this is also a courtesy, I raise my hands in favor!"
ps: vomiting blood five watches, please reward a few monthly passes, the small ones will be desperate this month, thank you first!
