Chapter 179 Chapter 179 [The Qing Dynasty is dead] Wan Geng Subscribe
"Kawamoto-kun, my condolences!"

Soichiro Fujii's face was gloomy, but he could only comfort his friend.Kazuki Matsushima is his subordinate and a friend of Daiki Kawamoto, so there is no need to talk about their friendship.

Now they couldn't even find a complete body, only a pair of broken bones and some broken underwear. How could they feel relaxed?

"Fujii-kun, have you found the gangster who killed Matsushima?" Kawamoto Daiki asked.

Although he was the one who threatened Chang county magistrate, but because he went to a different place to deal with business, he just came back and didn't know how the matter was handled.

Soichiro Fujii took over the matter for him, took out a silver note of [-] oceans and pushed it in front of him, comfortingly said: "Mr. Kawamoto, the speed of Chang County Magistrate is still very fast, the bandits who robbed and killed them all It has been brought to justice.

The thirteen heads have been hung on the city gate tower, Kawamoto-kun can go and have a look if you are free.In addition, the county magistrate Chang took out a thousand oceans as a pension to settle the incident.You also lost a lot of goods, these are your compensation. "

This is money from the dead, Kawamoto Daiki wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse.It cost him more than 300 yuan to buy that batch of mountain goods and leather, plus the purchase of horses and horses, the property he lost was more than [-] yuan.

At that moment, one-fifth of his personal property was gone, and it was difficult to continue the business in Yuanbao Town.

The idea of ​​self-interest still prevailed, and he pretended to push it away, but Fujii couldn't persuade him, so he just accepted the money with a smile.

Thinking of Kazuki Matsushima's secret mission, Kawamoto asked again: "Fujii-kun, have you found the notebook where Matsushima-kun recorded information?"

Soichiro Fujii shook his head, "Unfortunately, all of this was handled by the Qing people, and there is no record. I will arrange other people to do it later, Kawamoto-kun, don't worry about it."

In fact, he was also relieved to find no book recording the surveying and mapping map.Because this is a handle, if it is really put on the table, it will be very detrimental to them.

Of course, he would not fully trust Magistrate Chang's words. When he dispatched a new surveying and mapping team, he would definitely arrange a mission to inquire about the news to ensure that this matter did not spread.

Yuan Pengfei, who directed and acted all of this, could not know what the Japanese were thinking. As he said, this would be a case without a head, and no one would be able to find out the tricks in it.

……

In a blink of an eye, it came to 1909, the first year of Xuantong, the second year of Puyi's accession to the throne, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the death of a woman.In 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi, the de facto ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, passed away on November 11, having stayed behind the curtain for half her life.

The day before her death, Emperor Guangxu died, and she chose Pu Yi, who was only three years old, to be the new emperor.She has been the empress dowager for a day and is gone.

Although many people scolded Cixi severely and wished to curse her for an early death, it has to be said that Cixi, an old witch, has extraordinary methods.

In the long history of China, there have been several periods when women were in power, including Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, Liu E in the Song Dynasty, Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Lu in the Han Dynasty.

In a patriarchal society, it is not a good thing for a woman to hold supreme power.

Cixi was in power for a long time from 1861 to 1908. Her political skills were very capable, and she was especially good at manipulating the balance of power among her relatives and courtiers to maintain her absolute authority. It can be said that the Qing Dynasty lived for decades because of her ability. Year.

Without such strong men, the corrupt elements, three- and four-year-old children, ambitious careerists, and some political imbeciles in the Qing Dynasty were left to handle the government affairs. If the Qing Dynasty did not fall, it would be considered blind.

However, those things are still too far away from him to have nothing to do with him.If you can't participate in this general trend of the world, then play a financial carnival.

Stock trading is the only way to get rich in modern times, and it makes more money than doing business.Similarly, speculating in stocks during this period is also a good way to make wealth roll up.

However, the market maker has to find a gimmick to raise the stock price to harvest leeks.If the gimmick is not good, the leeks cannot be harvested if no one buys them.But if the gimmick is found well, the people who sit in the village can wake up laughing from their dreams.

Natural rubber is an excellent gimmick. This kind of thing is very important, cannot be stored for a long time, and the output is very rare.

More importantly, there are more powerful dealers targeting it, and they don’t have to do much at all, but they can hitchhike and harvest leeks together.

Needless to say, this more powerful bookmaker is Wall Street, and the reason why they are eyeing rubber is simple, because rubber is a necessary material for manufacturing airplanes, warships, cars, etc.

Simply put, a car can be built without leather seats, but can it be driven without rubber tires?

What's more, for a car, there are dozens or hundreds of rubber parts needed, and most of them have no substitutes.

This provides an excellent opportunity for hype. Americans have eaten a lot of rubber since 08. That year it was 0.57 million US dollars, and in 09 it reached 0.7 million US dollars.

This is not something ordinary investors can do. During this period, an acre of land in the United States is only $1. If they can spend so much money on rubber, even large consortiums have to unite.

The overall general trend has risen.

In Shanghai, as early as 1903, Mr. McBenley, a British rubber businessman, opened a colony company called Langerzhi.

Boasting that its business scope includes opening up rubber plantations, digging oil, logging timber, etc., and then began to raise shares, but falsely advertised for five or six years, but there was no business.

In 09, the Americans raised the price of rubber, and the owners and investors of rubber plantations successfully developed by foreign countries reaped huge profits. As a result, the number of Chinese people buying rubber stocks gradually increased.

Just like a big sale in a shopping mall, no matter what it sells, there will always be people swarming around it, so everyone scrambles to be the first, and everyone is brave, not to be outdone.

McBenley and other rubber merchants took advantage of this great opportunity to raise prices crazily, and even Langezhi Company made a solemn promise that the rubber stocks issued by Langezhi Company had the right to mortgage cash at Shanghai Foreign Bank according to the face value.

However, the European and American banks that "keep their promises" even jointly promised that the rubber stocks issued by Langerzhi Company have the right to mortgage cash at Shanghai Foreign Bank according to the face value.

That is to say, the company's stocks are the same as banknotes, and have unlimited guarantees from foreign banking circles.

In this way, the only difference between holding Langerge's rubber stock and holding banknotes is: when it is equal to the face value, it can be equal to banknotes, but if the stock price rises, the holder can still make money.Isn't this a guaranteed business?

Who will let go of the opportunity to pick up money, just like modern stock trading, houses, cars, jewelry, jewelry, gold, whatever is valuable, and then borrow a large amount of money from the bank, buy it like crazy, and wait to get rich.

The same is true for people in this period, they sell all the things that can be realized, and then buy and buy like crazy!
In April of this year, the par value of 4 taels per share was raised to more than 60 taels a year later, a 1450-fold appreciation.

It can be said that at this time, the price of rubber has risen to almost the same price as silver of the same weight, and the price bubble has reached its limit, and the bubble will be burst after the profit is made.

Just like Mr. Jia's return to China next month, Mr. Mai Bianli, the owner of Langezhi's rubber company, sold all his stocks at the high price, then returned to China to do some personal business, and has not been heard from since.

It didn't take long for the bubble to burst. With this wave of cutting leeks, international speculators made about 0.45 million taels of silver in the land of the Qing Dynasty.

The money banks in the Qing Dynasty, because they were greedy for interest and lent a lot of money, all the money in their hands was drained.What can happen if the debtors are forced to jump the Huangpu River?The money cannot be recovered.

As for the guarantee from European and American banks, that's a fart.The efficiency of the law is no greater than a fist. Seriously, you are a fool.

And just at this time, the time came for Gengzi to ask for money for indemnity, and the Qing government ordered Shanghai Daotai to withdraw the money stored in Yuanfengrun, so as not to offend Mr. Yang.

In the middle, there was a little nonsense. The Qing government dug a corner of its own grave, and Shanghai Daotai, which refused to withdraw money, was dismissed.A total of several million taels of silver were withdrawn from the big and small banks in Shanghai, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In that short period of time, a large number of banks that assumed the banking function closed down and went bankrupt.It even spread to the whole country, and an unprecedented financial crisis broke out.

The finance and economy of the Shanghai City are completely paralyzed, and its liquidity is completely exhausted. As a result, basic shops cannot be opened, and there is no money to open the doors. It has become a commercial "dead" city with no transactions and no commercial activities.

What's interesting is that this financial crisis has become the fuse of the revolution. In order to build the railway, the Sichuan-Han Railway Company collected the so-called "rental shares" like farmers in Sichuan.

By 09, 700 million taels of funds had been raised. It goes without saying that officials were involved in corruption. Governor Xiliang regarded Chuanlu Company as his own small treasury, embezzling a total of 300 million taels of road funds in the past few years.

To make things worse, the Qing court sent a man named Shi Dianzhang to be the financial director of Chuanlu Company's total revenue and expenditure.

Not long after this person took office, he allocated 350 million taels of funds from Chuanlu Company, which was equivalent to half of the company's raised share capital at that time, and went to Shanghai to invest.

He probably doesn't know the wise saying that the stock market is risky and investment needs to be cautious.

There is no doubt that he was a leek in this carnival, and even lost his underwear.

Later, the Qing court came up with tricks one after another, and a series of coquettish operations triggered a major event-the road protection movement.

The new army was mobilized to suppress it, which gave birth to the Revolution of [-], and the subsequent Wuchang Uprising sounded the death knell of the Qing government.

The flames of war quickly spread across half of the country, and after Lao Yuan regrouped and took office, the Qing Dynasty fell.

Died by a financial crisis, by a brain-dead court official, by serious corruption.

Everyone shouted to be loyal to the imperial court, but their psychology was all their own little calculations.

It dies without resentment.

Yuan Pengfei was also the one who made a fortune in this financial crisis and helped the Qing government dig the grave.But if you want to ask Yuan Pengfei how much he made from it, he can't figure it out himself.

In advance of the layout, two of his rubber companies in London have issued stocks, and there is another one in Shanghai. Except for those big consortia, he has the most money.

Now he suddenly wants to say: I have never touched money, I am not interested in money, playing this hand is just an interest.
