In the first two years of the twenties, it was really the hottest time in the stock market, and even the aunts in the vegetable market were discussing the vegetable gold that made a few oceans of vegetable gold after the stock rose yesterday.

Who would have thought that two months later, Ouyang Anna's prophecy came true, and God's boots fell. The buyer of the Shanghai Securities Exchange defaulted on insufficient funds, and the bulls collapsed and went bankrupt. The stock market crash broke out, the bubble broke, chicken feathers in one place, and the stock was almost waste paper. This is the "ten-year trend of information exchange in the Republic of China" in the history of Chinese securities.

On the morning of Christmas Eve this year, Chang Kaishen sat in front of Anna for the second time, and complained in despair: "Miss Anna, Kaishen regrets not listening to your advice, not only did he withdraw from the market as soon as possible, but also added a lot of leverage to the stocks, and the position was liquidated overnight, and millions of belongings were wiped out, so that the debt was 600,000 silver dollars!" ”

This number was terrifying to hear, and Qi Yuanshan jumped up from his seat on the spot: "This ...... Mr. Chang......"

"My life is also in danger!" Chang Kaishen almost knelt down on the spot, "She'er goes to school in Shanghai, and he can't even afford to pay a few yuan for school uniforms, so he thinks sadly......"

"There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and the sea is like the sea."

Ouyang Anna replied meaningfully, after all, she had worked as an intern in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government, participated in the Treaty of Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference, and had met the most powerful men on the planet today. The "Earl of Dharma Mountain Fund" she mastered only made a steady investment, and never touched the current popular stocks, and the stock market crash, instead of a loss, bought a dip and bought the properties of many bankrupt companies and businessmen.

"Miss Anna, you're right." Chang Kaishen was not polite, and reflected sincerely, "Chinese businessmen, snobbish, too bureaucratic, and their cunning state are the first to be seen!" I am extremely disgusted with Chinese society, and I vow to completely transform it! ”

"Mr. Chang, you didn't come to the Humble House to discuss social transformation, did you?"

"Shame! Ashamed! Kaishen owes a huge debt and leaves Guangzhou today, not only to avoid disaster, but also because the revolutionary cause in the south is in full swing, and Mr. Zhongshan is recruiting talents from all over the world. ”

Qi Yuanshan couldn't help but almost burst out laughing when he heard this, obviously he was hiding debts, and he was involved in some revolutionary cause.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Ouyang Anna is an understanding person, so she won't go around the bend with him, and asked bluntly.

"This ......" Chang Kaishen originally wrote the script for a long time, but was interrupted by Anna's straightforwardness, scratched his head and said, "I can't hide it, Mr. Yu Qiaqing, the God of Wealth in Shanghai and the chairman of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, has given me 60,000 yuan." But compared with the huge debt of 600,000 yuan, it is still a drop in the bucket. Kaishen has no selfish motives in stock speculation, only to raise funds for the revolutionary cause, and can move north as soon as possible to overthrow the Beiyang warlords. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qi Yuanshan timidly, after all, this person was still wearing the blue army uniform of Beiyang, and he could be sent to Wusong Fortress at any time.

Qi Yuanshan sneered: "Mr. Chang, this is my home, not the War Department in Beijing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"yes, can you give me a number?"

Anna asked a second time.

Even in the winter of Christmas Eve, the living room was filled with the white breath of three people, Chang Kaishen still took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead: "Miss Anna, I only borrow 60,000 silver dollars from you!" ”

"Sixty thousand?" Qi Yuanshan's face changed, this is a huge amount of money, enough to buy this small bungalow, "Mr. Chang, I have no relatives and no reason, just because you were Mr. Ouyang's disciple?" When the Ouyang family was in trouble, and Anna needed help from the Qing Gang brothers, why didn't she see you people running out? What international jokes? ”

"Distant mountains, ashamed! Ashamed! How can I, a superficial disciple of the Green Gang, but actually a revolutionary, be able to be you, Mr. Ouyang's closed disciple. ”

"Sending off!"

"Oops...... I'm also desperate, ashamed......" Chang Kaishen got up and hugged his fist at Ouyang Anna, "Miss Anna, I wish you a happy Christmas, Kaishen has taken his leave." ”

"You're going to Sixteen Shop Pier?"

"Well, but not on the boat, but into the river. So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong! Chang Kaishen dusted off the dust, and his eyes showed the domineering spirit of a hero, "My fellow countryman, Zhou Junyan of the exchange, owed 200,000 yuan in debt after arbitrage failure, and was forced to jump into the Huangpu River twice; The trader Hong Shanqiang committed suicide last night and has not yet been buried. ”

He staggered to the door, touched the black cat, and sighed slightly: "Westerners say that seeing a black cat is a great bad omen, and next year's Christmas Eve will be Chang Kaishen's first anniversary." ”

"Mr. Chang!" Anna rushed outside, put her hand on his shoulder, and said, "Sixty thousand silver dollars, I'll lend it to you." ”

"Miss Anna!"

Chang Kaishen himself couldn't believe it, he thought that people might not dare to open the door when he visited in the middle of the night. Even if he were to let him in, he would throw two pieces of meat and bones like a flower or a wild dog.

Ouyang Anna pulled him back into the living room and took out the four treasures of the study. Qi Yuanshan was embarrassed, but there was no sound after all. The financial power of this family is completely controlled by Anna. After all, the "Earl Fund of Dharma Mountain" does not belong to the joint property of husband and wife, but belongs to Qin Beiyang.

At this time, Anna thought carefully - this Chang Kaishen, although she is not very good in her impression, has some status in the revolutionary party, and is the brother of Chen Qimei, the "governor of Yangmei", and also has the same hatred as the pen of the revolutionary party. If Chang Kaishen invested in the Huangpu River, it would not be of any benefit to Ouyang Anna, it would be better to lend him the money and let him owe him a favor, and there would always be something useful. 60,000 oceans, although it is a huge amount of money, but for the one million taels of silver of the "Earl of Dharma Mountain Fund", it is only a drop in the penny, even if it is a long-term investment!

Chang Kaishen was grateful on the spot, trembling and holding a brush to write an IOU, and he would return it with interest within three years.

Then, Ouyang Anna personally wrote a check for 60,000 silver dollars to him with a fountain pen.

"Miss Anna, save your life! There is no retribution, Kaishen should be the work of dogs and horses in this life! ”

"Mr. Chang, you're welcome, when you arrive in Guangzhou, please pay tribute to Mr. Zhongshan on my behalf!"

She and Qi Yuanshan sent the guests to the door. It happened to be snowing. Snow on Christmas Eve. There was a French family across the street, and the sound of Christmas singing could be faintly heard.

"Wait!"

Anna's words made Chang Kaishen's soul fly out of the sky, thinking that she had a temporary repentance? Unexpectedly, she took out a woolen scarf from the house and wrapped it around Chang Kaishen's neck with her own hands.

Suddenly, there was a spring-like warmth.

Chang Kaishen's eyes almost contained tears, but he couldn't say anything, and rushed away with a life-saving check. Although the money is not enough to pay off the debt, at least it will keep him alive until tomorrow morning.

Half a century later, when he spent the rest of his life on the island, he still will never forget Christmas Eve in 1921, the coldest moment of his life, a beautiful woman with glass-colored eyes, the scarf wrapped in his own hands - it is still preserved in the deepest part of the wardrobe in Yangmingshan until death......
