Chapter 489
Mr. Xiao's father was sitting in the living room drinking tea, thinking about things. Mr. Xiao's wife came over and said to her father-in-law, "Father, what should I do in the future?" These two people don't look like what you said they said at all, young master, they're just a moment of freshness. The woman was not a person without a little ink in her breast. Every answer can be answered to the point. And I've seen the world better than I, and I can dress up. The young master doesn't look down on me at all. Mr. Xiao's father also knew that his daughter-in-law was just asking for his own help, and he was not really there to leave.
The reason why I came to Tianjin from my hometown is not because my hometown can no longer stay. And the daughter-in-law's maiden home has completely disappeared, where can she run away from her own home.
Moreover, now that the law and order in the Tianjin Concession is getting worse and worse, it cannot be said that the police are ineffective, but it can only be said that there are too many criminals and they are too busy.
If it weren't for the guards who escorted him all the way to Tianjin, he might have died in the last refugee shock.
Although it was finally suppressed by the army in the concession, the people who died in the conflict are still gone.
Her daughter-in-law can be regarded as handsome, how can a woman survive in such a chaotic era?
Isn't it dependent on men, on the family? The daughter-in-law's maiden family is gone, so she can only rely on her man.
Originally, Mr. Xiao's father should have given a positive response immediately. But after Mr. Xiao's father met the six girls, he found that this woman was not as bad as he imagined.
It seems that this person named Wang Wenwu still has some taste. Mr. Xiao's father also found out from the conversation with the sixth girl that this woman wanted to be the eldest wife.
This may be the reason why she is someone else's concubine now. As for the candidate for the future wife of his family, Mr. Xiao's father did not choose his current daughter-in-law as firmly as before.
Of course, he didn't show it in front of his daughter-in-law. After sending his daughter-in-law away. Mr. Xiao's father plans to wait for his son to come back and talk to him properly.
Now the Tianjin Concession is like a lonely boat, whether it is dealing with the aggressiveness of the Japanese, all kinds of internal problems.
Mr. Xiao's father has to plan well for his family. On November 3, the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Nationalist Government announced the implementation of a fiat currency policy.
The policy points out that the banknotes issued by the Central Bank, the Bank of China, and the Bank of Communications are used as legal tender, and silver dollars are no longer allowed to be used in the market.
It also stipulates that banknotes issued by other banks shall be exchanged in fiat currency within a time limit, and that the statutory reserves, new banknotes that have not yet been issued, and old banknotes that have been recovered shall be entrusted to the issuance reserve management committee for safekeeping.
The statutory reserves here consisted of large quantities of silver dollars, which were initially deposited by the Commission with the Central Bank and later by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications.
Since the offices of the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in Tianjin are both in the French Concession, and part of the inventory of the Bank of Communications is still stored in the basement of the old Daosheng Bank in the British Concession, and the cash inventory of the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in Tianjin is also under the protection of the British and French.
Tianjin fell. Subsequently, the Japanese army imposed colonial rule on Tianjin, and under various pretexts, they forced the British and French concessions to prohibit the circulation of fiat currency, and demanded that they hand over the silver stored in the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in the lease.
The British and French concessions were unimpressed by the demands of the Japanese army, and continued to circulate fiat currency in the concessions, refusing to hand over the silver stored in the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications.
Now, with the continuous negotiations between Britain and Japan, the Japanese troops who invaded Tianjin now set up roadblocks around the British Concession.
When Wang Wenwu came into the concession, he also used the space to transport a lot of materials, and made a small fortune by the way.
The reason why the Japanese paid special attention to this cash was that the amount was particularly huge. In addition, it is necessary to achieve the goal of feeding war with war.
After the Japanese occupation of Pingjin, the puppet China United Reserve Bank was established and issued on a large scale
"Union Bank Bills", vainly trying to use them
The "Union Bank Bills" replaced the fiat currency, thus seizing the Chinese fiat currency in disguise. Because
"Union Bank Notes" are illegal currencies and cannot be used in the international foreign exchange market. Japan can only exchange foreign currency and purchase wartime materials only by wantonly collecting and plundering China's fiat currency.
In addition to fiat currency, the cash silver can be directly sold in the foreign exchange market to achieve the purpose of purchasing military supplies.
In addition to the problem of white flowers, what also made the Japanese army nervous was that there were various anti-Japanese forces lurking in the British and French concessions.
Most of these forces operated in the shadows, destroying the warehouses, factories, shops, and foreign firms of the Japanese army, especially several assassinations and traitors that shocked the whole country.
But all these made Mr. Xiao's father find that hiding in and out of here does not seem to be as safe as he thought before.
And if you want to buy an industry, otherwise you will always sit on the empty side, and no matter how much family property you have, you can't stand it.
However, there has been little progress in the matter of purchasing industries. When Mr. Xiao's family was in his hometown, he relied on the first introduction of Western machinery to open a factory.
This made the old man eat with a mouth full of oil. But this is different in Tianjin, where there are not only Chinese businessmen, but also no less powerful than their own.
In addition, there is competition from foreign firms. If one is not good, not only may the capital not be returned, but it may even become a bottomless pit.
Of course, this is also the same as Mr. Xiao's factory in his hometown, which is only the worst factory, not only does it not have any technology, but all the equipment is purchased from the West.
Even the maintenance of the equipment depends on foreigners. Mr. Xiao's family is in his hometown, relying on his own local power.
It's a unique business. Naturally, I won't bother with those gods. Mr. Little and the Sixth Girl returned to the back street of the barbershop.
The six girls did not return to the barbershop immediately. Instead, like going to Mr. Xiao's house, I first tidied up Mr. Xiao's clothes, which were a little wrinkled because of the rickshaw.
The little gentleman looked at the woman in front of him, and she was such a gentle and lovely woman. I know the meal just now. How aggrieved it is to eat.
My sweetheart, the person I can't wait to hold in my hand and love. In his own home, he even needed to please those servants.
This made Mr. Xiao quite remorseful. The little gentleman said, "My father, you don't need to be so embarrassed about yourself. And as you can see, there are quite a few guards in my house. Don't be afraid. You can leave that person with peace of mind and start a new life with me! The six girls stroked the handsome face of the little gentleman.
looked affectionately into the eyes of the little gentleman. "That's your father." How can I alienate you father and son because of me? The sixth girl laughed, and then said, "And when I left, I found that your father didn't hate me as much as you thought!" ”
