Chapter 154 The Capital Power of the Sect Landlords
Wang Bosi and Huang Xiucheng were indeed honest for a while after Zheng Yun's warning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the class represented by the two men did not give up the struggle for dominance.
At present, in addition to the agricultural economy, 80% of the economic activities of Green Water City are related to Huaxia City.
Originally, Zheng Yun controlled the railway station, logistics and other large infrastructure, while the sectarian class controlled agriculture, capital and the official system.
The two are balanced, which is unthinkable in cities other than the Huaxia Alliance.
In the case of Xuanwu City, for example, the lord of the city was the ruling representative of the Wei king, with military power, political power, and tax power.
It seems to be powerful, but the local sects and gentry control the high-quality population and land, that is, the literati and monks, and in fact the restrictions on the city lords are very great.
And because of Huaxia City's intervention, a steady stream of high-quality people came to help Zheng Yun fill the vacancy, so the balance could be achieved.
This has already caused dissatisfaction among the sectarian class, and now Shang Weiyang has forcibly given the trade rights to the exclusive monopoly of the Green Water City government, and provided a large amount of interest-free loans, which has broken this balance.
Of course, Wang Bosi and Huang Xiucheng will not sit idly by and become pawns in Zheng Yun's hands.
After hibernation for a while, I finally figured out some questions.
Force is definitely not counted on now, with the support of Huaxia City, even Sun Xiao has been destroyed, not to mention them.
But money still has to be earned, and if you want to make more money, you have to take the lead, in the more than a year of dealing with Huaxia City, they found that Huaxia City values the rules the most, as long as they are allowed to interfere within the rules.
In this case, it really made them figure out something.
At first, when the Huaxia Bank branch was just established, when it was still called the Blackstone City Bank, it proposed a policy of paying interest on deposits, and the interest rate was as high as 10%.
In the past, they were undoubtedly rich people who built secret rooms and dug cellars to store silver.
And the interest of the bank is like a fortune from heaven, don't do it in vain, anyway, the credibility of the prince of Wei is still trustworthy.
In this way, Huaxia Bank quickly opened up the situation in Green Water City, not only popularizing the renminbi rapidly, but also absorbing a large number of deposit gold coins?
Now that Huang Xiucheng and the others think about it, they are simply fooled and fooled.
Most of their money is lying in the bank to eat interest, and occasionally they use bank checks to buy goods with Huaxia City.
This is equivalent to saying that Huaxia City only used checks and renminbi and the 10% interest to treat them as free labor, and spread the goods of Huaxia City all over the fiefdom of King Wei.
The most hateful thing is that the gold coins they have worked hard to earn from other cities have also been exchanged into a number of bank accounts by Huaxia Bank with a high exchange rate.
And now, the bank has lent their deposits to the government of Greenwater City without interest, which is tantamount to using their money to hit them, which is simply too deceitful!
After thinking about this, Wang Bosi and Huang Xiucheng hurriedly gathered people to discuss countermeasures, after all, they are the richest group of people in Green Water City, if you don't have money, I see what kind of monopoly do you Zheng Yun take?
They knew that Huaxia City would not directly supply Green Water City, so it would break the rules, and there was no need to make such a show.
Therefore, after discussing for a long time, the sectarian landlord class headed by Wang Bosi and Huang Xiucheng began to withdraw and run on a large number of cash.
The first is withdrawal, after this wave of withdrawal, the turnover of Huaxia Bank Green Water City Branch quickly shrank to 3 billion.
This made Zheng Yun and Tian Hu urgently ask Shang Weiyang for help.
And then there is a run, two months, Wang Bosi and others have accumulated a large number of gold coins, this one-time exchange, to see the situation to the bank silver short.
In this regard, Tian Hu and Zheng Yun urgently issued a decree to start the daily exchange limit, and constantly raised the exchange rate of gold coins to RMB.
Although the result was short-lived, the consequences were terrible.
As a result of the bank's actions, the value of the renminbi began to rise sharply, and due to the exchange limit, the private exchange rate has exceeded the bank exchange rate.
And Wang Bosi, Huang Xiucheng and others began to take the opportunity to speculate on the yuan, and quietly released the gold coins in their hands.
Originally, the appreciation of the renminbi was a good thing, but such a rapid and abnormal appreciation has turned the renminbi into a kind of commodity, and everyone can live in a strange commodity.
This has led to a very serious problem, the investment value of the renminbi has been noisy to the point that it is greater than the circulating value, and no one in the market is stupid enough to use the renminbi to shop.
The gold coin market has resurged, with underground banks and the exchange rate black market beginning to rise.
Although the trade between Green Water City and Huaxia City continued, the RMB paid by Zheng Yun to the civilians was exchanged by Wang Bosi and them at a good exchange rate.
Then, the next day, these civilians took the gold coins and went to line up to exchange for yuan.
"Damn, this group of people actually created a foreign exchange black market. "I thought it was just an ordinary run on the problem, but after Shang Weiyang allocated several batches of funds from the head office, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem and came to Green Water City in person.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to be slapped in the face now, a few days ago, I said that let these old hats see what it means to be a capital predator, I didn't expect this group of old hats to play to such a point!"
In Shang Weiyang's self-deprecation, Zheng Yun couldn't sit still, "Secretary Shang, when is this still the mood for you to joke?"
"Don't worry, these people are really talents, I didn't expect that there was already a prototype of the financial market, if the officials of the Qin Dynasty had this half of their minds, the RMB would have died long ago. ”
"What's the use of them being smart? After all, they're doing the right thing with us, I'm running out of liquidity now, and I just said that I would give priority to buying goods, but now I don't have any money, so I'll give them priority. ”
"Don't worry, I've got a leg up, I just want to see where they go. ”
While Shang Weiyang and Zheng Yun were discussing countermeasures, Wang Bosi and Huang Xiucheng were also brewing a new plan with others.
"I knew that we were playing so much money, why did we work so hard to go south and north?" Wang Bosi said happily with a lot of money in his hands now.
"It's different, those goods in Huaxia City are fundamental, if it weren't for Huaxia City to forcibly link the goods to the RMB, the RMB would be a piece of waste paper, and we would have to get the right of first refusal to buy the goods after all.
So that the game can continue to be played. We are also going to have a showdown with Zheng Yun, if he doesn't agree, then we can only break the net. ”
Huang Xiucheng's proposal was supported by many people, and without further ado, he and Wang Bosi went to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare to negotiate the matter that day.
And Shang Weiyang, who was in the City Lord's Mansion, also attended the negotiations together by the way, which surprised the two, but they did not change their plans.
"It is impossible to give up the right of first refusal, and I will accompany you to the end. After listening to Huang Xiucheng's conditions, Zheng Yun was furious.
"Hehe, if you can't buy and sell, why be so angry? But then again, City Lord Zheng, can you still choose?"
Two months ago, Zheng Yun had just obtained the right of first refusal and a loan, and at that time, Huang Xiucheng and Wang Bosi were very low-profile.
But now that Shang Weiyang doesn't make a move, he really has no choice but to ask for help and look at Shang Weiyang.
Shang Weiyang also knew that it was time for him to change his words: "Master Wang, Huang Yuanwai, our Huaxia Alliance is also established for the cause of all mankind, I hope the two of you will give face not to disturb the financial market, and be a good law-abiding citizen." ”
"Is this the owner of the mall going to be strong? In this way, what is the face of your credit in the world, you must know that we have not violated any laws and regulations. ”
"Of course I didn't mean that, to be honest, I already admire you for being able to resist this step, I just can't bear to see you suffer heavy losses, and now there is still salvation for a smooth return. ”
"Hmph, don't be ashamed, just use any tricks, let's all continue. "This financial battle, speculating on the renminbi made Huang Xiucheng extremely confident.
He already believed that he was in control of the overall situation, Shang Weiyang just bluffed, and left with Wang Bosi.
"Alas, it's a talent, but it's just a talent, so don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Zheng Yun and Tian Hu knew that Shang Weiyang had a trump card, but they didn't know the specific situation, and they were still a little worried in their hearts, after all, they were developing in Green Water City, not Huaxia City.
If Zhang Zhiping was here, he would definitely know that Shang Weiyang was going to be ruthless this time.
