The London rubber stock boom can also be simply called the rubber stock boom...

The results of this stock rush, which began in 1908 and ended in 1910, were enormous. In this trend, which is very famous even in history, although Yan Shao has made a huge profit of almost more than 100 million pounds from the stocks he bought for 10 million pounds, there are not many people who can become winners in this stock storm...

Not to mention London, because of the collapse of stocks, the Thames in Britain has almost become the Ganges in India. On the Chinese side, Shanghai, because Shanghai is the financial center of the Far East, and it is also very close to those plantations in Southeast Asia, so almost all of those rubber stock companies were set up in Shanghai at that time, so the problems in Shanghai have become a serious area second only to London.

Therefore, when the stock crashes, the Huangpu River, like the Thames, becomes a 'floating corpse river'...

And the consequences of this stock boom are also very serious, almost all the achievements of the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty were destroyed, and finally became one of the important reasons for the collapse of the Qing court—————— in this regard, I really don't know if Lu Dao should thank Chen Bangrui and Cheng Dequan and the gang, but those who jumped off the building and the river probably won't thank them anyway...

Originally, this incident in history had little to do with the Japanese—————— at least not much.

Although Japan is also in Asia and the Far East, after all, it is still far away from Southeast Asia compared to Shanghai, so there are no stock companies in Japan at all. Historically, Japan has stayed away from this incident. But this time it's different...

It was precisely because he knew that this incident would hit China's economy hard, so Yan Shao deliberately gave Lu Ying a share worth 20 million pounds of the shares he brought back from the UK. Then she secretly took it to Japan, and as for Yan Shao herself, she went to France with Elaline and them, and went to London to celebrate Bertrand's birthday and secretly sold the stocks in her hand...

20 million pounds, that's more than 200 million yen...

In 1910, that is, in the 43rd year of the Meiji era. At that time, Japan's annual fiscal revenue was only more than 600 million yen, and we all knew how ruthless Japan's taxation was at that time. Japan is already an industrial country, and its tax policy is much more perfect than China's. In such a ruthless situation, there were only more than 600 million yen a year, and all of a sudden, all the stocks worth more than 200 million yen were turned into waste paper, and how hard it hit the Japanese. Even if you can imagine it on your knees...

But at that time, when Lu Ying traveled east to Japan. Those stocks are at least not scrap paper, but some hens that can lay gold...

The Japanese, who didn't know that the stock would collapse soon, kept buying stocks from Lu Ying, which also made Lu Ying earn at least more than 20 million pounds from it.

Naturally, those Japanese also thought of some ghost ideas, such as the more than 20 million pounds in Lu Ying's hands. For more than 20 million pounds, even the Japanese government is involved.

It's just a pity that there is no radar in this era. The plane did not enter the practical stage, so after getting on the ship that had been prepared for a long time. Lu Ying and others were safely evacuated from Japan.

And because Lu Ying is a person who is not very famous, and she was disguised when she was in Japan, no one can recognize her at all...

However, if you don't recognize it, you can't recognize it...

At least before the crash, for the Japanese they had gotten what they wanted, and although it was a pity that the more than 20 million pounds were not recovered, at least they had gotten the shares they wanted, and then they just had to wait for the value of the shares in their hands to continue to double...

And then...

The stock fell...

More than 20 million pounds, or more than 200 million yen worth of stocks, were suddenly turned into waste paper, which was unprecedented in the excitement of the Japanese.

At that time, at least dozens of companies and zaibatsu in Japan had collapsed, and even large chaebols such as Mitsui had been hit hard as a result. After that, there were even more companies and chaebols that could not survive because they were hit hard.

After all, it's more than 200 million yen, and not everyone can afford such a huge loss...

On the other hand, because of the loss so great, the Japanese also began to look for the culprit who made them so miserable—————— the woman who sold them the stock.

Although they were willing to buy it at the beginning, people are like this, and it is easy to get angry with others because of one thing. It's a pity that Lu Ying has returned to China at this time, and then she lives in a simple house, so the Japanese naturally can't find her...

————————————————————

After the stock crash, China was hit hard, and almost all of the New Deal's gains were lost.

Although the Qing court also collapsed because of this, Yan Shao was still very unhappy, and at this time, with Japan by his side, Yan Shao's mood was much better.

At the same time, the Japanese are still looking for the mysterious woman in China, who has caused them to lose countless amounts of money.

However, as mentioned earlier, Lu Ying was originally Yan Shao's personal housekeeper, and she usually lived in a simple house in the manor, and it was not easy for the Japanese to find it even if they wanted to.

Of course, the Japanese were also suspicious of Yan Shao, because there are not many people in China who can afford to come up with such a large number of shares. But at that time, Yan Shao had a strong alibi, so the Japanese had to overturn their guesses.

Until not so long ago...

Around the end of 1912, because Lu Ying had become Yan Shao's woman, she began to follow Yan Shao in front of the public from time to time.

For many people, Lu Ying may just be just a very beautiful woman, but for those who were ruined by Lu Ying, this woman is impossible to forget, even if her current appearance is slightly different from when she was in Japan.

Soon, the Black Dragon Society began to send people to investigate in China—————— and the reason why they would get involved was simple, because their losses in the original stock boom were not small, almost unforgettable.

According to their investigation results, it was found that Lu Ying was indeed very suspicious.

It's just that based on these words alone, it is still impossible to conclude after all, because Lu Ying at this time has changed a lot from when he was Japanese. After all, more than 2 years have passed since then, and Lu Ying was only 17 years old at that time, which was the age of a female college student who had changed into eighteen years, and she had also undergone a certain amount of cross-dressing at that time...

However, in the end, they still got a key piece of evidence...

————————————————————

After a small sip of tea, Ryohei Uchida looked at Murakami Sheng.

"According to the results of our investigation, the woman named Lu Ying used to have a father, a bad gambler, who once sold her into a brothel when she was young, but maybe it was luck, she was just sold in, and she was bought back by Yan Shao, who was kind, to become a subordinate..."

"After that, just like I told you just now, she became Yan Shao's personal butler, and now she is a personal woman..."

"However, according to the information we found, when the mysterious woman in Tokyo was selling stocks, her father was sunk to the center of the Yangtze River because of debts..."

"Jiang Xin?" Murakami was taken aback.

"That's right," Ryohei Uchida smiled slightly. It's strange that Yan Shao's personal butler's father would be sunk to the heart of the Yangtze River because of debts. ”

"At first, we thought it was because Lu Ying hated his father for selling him into a brothel, so we didn't care about him, but then we learned that after Lu Ying became Yan Shao's housekeeper, he would often use his own private money to help him pay off his gambling debts, and even planned to find some serious business for him, such a daughter would not be able to watch her father being done this, even if he was unbearable..."

"Except for one reason..."

"That is, she was not in Anhui at the time..."

"Afterwards, we found a person in Anhui, it is said that he was involved in sinking Lu Ying's father into the heart of the river, according to that person, Lu Ying's father often owes debts, but because he has a very capable daughter, so no matter how much money he owes, the gambling house doesn't care, because the money is always available after the most, but then I don't know what happened, they haven't been able to see this woman named Lu Ying for a long time, and after losing all patience, They sank this man into the heart of the Yangtze River..."

"And we all know that Yan Shao is very hostile to the empire itself, and has played tricks on some foreign companies in Shanghai many times before, and even led to the closure of many cotton textile factories in the empire..."

"Competent, motivated, and testified..."Murakami smiled bitterly. It's almost certain that he did it..."

"That's right." Tou Shanman nodded. "So our main purpose this time is to let him understand what will happen if he is an enemy of the Japanese Empire..."

When he said this, the chill in Toushan's eyes deepened.

In that stock crash, the Black Dragon Society suffered a huge loss, and Toushanman's loss was also not small. No matter how you look at it, his revenge on Yan Shao is justified...

"So what's next for us?" Murakami asked with some curiosity.

"What's next..."Ryohei Uchida and Toyama Mitsuru smiled slightly. It is to help the Kuomintang and completely solve this problem in Anhui. As long as this problem is solved, not only will the obstacles to the Manchurian strategy disappear, but the grudge against the stock incident will also be resolved........."
