New Warlords 1909

Hua Fei watched all this calmly. Although he had never been to Shanghai, the prosperity in front of him was, to be precise, the last life of a country.Both Shanghai and China will face decades of deep suffering.

But now that I'm here, everything will change.

Arriving at the residence, it was an abandoned factory area.The housing facilities are simple, but it is better to have a large yard and a towering wall, which can form a good protection defense.

Before he had time to remove the dust from his clothes, Hua Fei took newspapers one by one, searched for information about rubber stocks, and began to study.Although rushing to catch up, but in Shanghai in October 10, the heat of rubber stocks has begun to heat up rapidly.

Although the organization in the previous life had been deeply involved in stock market finance, these specific matters were not handled by Hua Fei.Even though he understood that 30 silver dollars might not have much impact on the stock market, he was still extremely cautious.

Whenever he saw new shares being offered for sale, he would send a team of servants to line up to buy them.The preferred key purchase is the stock issued by the Foreigner Rubber Company.Although there will be more leather bag companies, the degree of price hype will inevitably be more powerful.

The real craze for rubber stocks this time is still from the end of 10 to the beginning of 110.The more than 40 million financing shares of more than 500 rubber companies in Nanyang were sold out within a few months in the first few months of 110.

Stock trading at this time is not like later generations staying in front of the computer exchange, staring at the K-line chart and constantly calculating and trying to figure it out.Basically line up to buy stocks, unless you want to sell, otherwise there is nothing to do.

The stock boom has just begun, and Hua Fei certainly would not choose to sell at this time.It's just to let people keep an eye on the stock price, and then report it back to Hua Er Liu Butler and the others for calculation.

On the other hand, he led Hua Da Hua San to continue to conduct strict military training for the servants.For formation, physical fitness, tactics, and shooting, Hua Fei fully used the recruit training methods of the later generations of the army to further strengthen the military literacy of these servants.In addition, several teachers were hired from Shanghai to provide illiteracy education to all the servants.Hell-like hard training and boring study made these servants complain endlessly, and dreamed every day that they would have new shares for sale tomorrow.Then they would have a chance to be sent out to line up to temporarily avoid the young master's inhumane torture to them.

"Young Master, Young Master, it's gone up again, up again!" Steward Liu held the latest quotation that he had just copied from the foreign firm, and the expression of excitement on his face was beyond words.

"Oh, how much has it increased?" Hua Er was almost numb to the increase these days.Now, the trace of dissatisfaction in his stomach has long since dissipated.It is worthy of being a young man who has studied new studies, been to Shanghai, and seen the world. He has such a vision, such a decision, and such a boldness.Think about any point about the young master, even Hua Er can't match him.

"Two yuan and eight! My God, my master, it's only one day, and it's only one day, and it's two yuan and eight. Crazy, all crazy, the whole Shanghai is crazy."

"Quickly calculate, how much is the total now?" Hua Da, who was not interested in these things at all, now also smirked and pushed Hua Er's arm, urging.

The abacus on Hua's second hand started to move rapidly. After half a stick of incense time, Hua Er stopped and looked at the expectant Liu Steward and Hua Dao, "Initial estimates, the total value of all stocks has exceeded 100 million silver dollars." .”

Quiet, incomparably silent.Although it was already severe winter, both Huada and Butler Liu couldn't help sweating profusely on their foreheads. 100?It's only been more than two months, and the speed of stealing money is not so exaggerated.

Hua Er was filled with emotion once again.More than two months, just over two months, 30 silver dollars has turned to 100 million. 100 million silver dollars, what concept?Mr. Hua has worked hard, worked hard and saved his whole life, and the total property of his family is only 30 silver dollars.But the young master...in just over two months, he tripled the property left by the master.If I had known this before, why bother to work hard in the town to tinker with those two broken factories. If I had come to Shanghai earlier, I would have been sitting on a mountain of gold and silver.

"Shanghai is really full of gold. This money... is so fucking easy to earn!" Butler Liu uttered dirty words very rarely, but these words did reach the hearts of several other people.

"Although Shanghai is full of gold, under the gold, there are countless invisible bones!" Hua Fei put down the notes in his hand and stood up.This note was left by the original owner of the body, and was taken as a token by the ship bandits and sent to the Hua Mansion, so there was not much damage.This allowed Watson to learn many stories and memories of this body before.

"Master, there are often strangers peeping in outside the courtyard recently!" Hua San took Hua Fei's words very briefly.

Well, this abnormality was actually noticed by Hua Fei himself.Turning the stock to 100 million silver dollars so quickly seems to have attracted the attention of interested people.Conceived as a crime, how to continue to stay safely in Shanghai, an unfamiliar place, is indeed a test.

"Hua Er, how much cash can we transfer?"

Hua Er quickly glanced at the account book, and immediately said, "Master, the remaining cash is only enough for us to spend for one month!"

Hua Fei touched his chin, thought for a while, then turned to Hua Er and Liu Guanjia and said, "You take our stocks, go to the biggest banks in Shanghai to mortgage them, get cash loans, and continue to buy newly issued rubber stocks! "

"In addition, Hua San, the training of the servants is carried out in batches. The day and night sentries must not be sloppy."

Use the stock as collateral, borrow money from the bank to buy new shares, and then use the stock as collateral for the loan.As long as the stock market keeps rising, in theory, anyone can make unlimited capital with very little money.

The most important thing is that once the stock is mortgaged to the bank, it will form a short-term interest alliance with these banks.This will help Hua Fei's financial security.After all, he can gain a foothold in Shanghai and open a bank in such a hurry, which one is not a person with some means.

"Stocks? Mortgage? Loans?" Although Steward Liu felt that his ability to resist attacks was strong enough, he was shocked by Hua Fei's words again.This, this stock can also be mortgaged?Crazy, not only the whole of Shanghai is crazy, even the young master seems to be crazy.Already earned so much, still not satisfied?

Seeing Hua Er and Liu Butler running out with weird expressions, Hua Fei couldn't help laughing. 30 rose to 100 million, but it was only three times.A three-fold increase is absolutely nothing to any rubber stock in this stock wave.

In this stock market boom, the stock price of Lange Zhi Tuozhi Company, founded by an Englishman named McBian, even rose sixteen or seven times.However, after the bubble burst, all of this showed its prototype.In the end, these gringos returned to China after collecting a large amount of cash, and they never returned.Although Hua Fei can't prevent all this from happening, he hopes to minimize the loss of private capital of the motherland.

"Hua Da, it seems that we need to visit some friends today, you can go with me." Although the stock was mortgaged, Hua Fei was still worried.The water in Shanghai Beach is too deep, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.It seems that we have to create some smoke, the thicker the better, it is so thick that people who care about it can't figure it out.

4 Large-scale purchase of arms

Smith is an American. He and his friends opened a new foreign firm in Shanghai, mainly dealing in some machinery and equipment, and secretly doing a small amount of arms trading.

Due to the chaotic situation in the Qing Dynasty, his arms business has always been good, and it has indeed earned him a lot of wealth.It's just that in the past few months, the rubber stock market has suddenly exploded, and funds from the whole of Shanghai seem to have poured in frantically, making his business extremely bleak all of a sudden.

Smoking sadly at his cigar, Smith wondered if he, too, should start a rubber reclamation company and issue shares to make a fortune.

"Mr. Smith, someone is visiting!" the former store employee walked in.

"Huh? You go and receive them. I'm not in the mood to receive guests now."

"Sir, someone here said that they want to... buy 'red goods'."

"Huh? Red goods?" Smith's eyes lit up and he asked immediately. "Ask them to come in quickly, no, I will meet them myself."

"Nicetmeetyu, Mith." The moment Hua Fei opened his mouth, it was a relatively intimate greeting, and his pure accent immediately made Smith feel extremely intimate, and the distance was virtually shortened a lot.

"Nice to meet you too, my friend, this way please!"

Smith has been in Shanghai for almost half a year. He has met many Qing people who can speak English, but their pronunciation is so natural, and they even have a local accent from the west coast of the United States. Hua Fei is definitely the No. 1 he has encountered.

The two chatted politely, and when they heard that Hua Fei had studied in San Francisco, Smith suddenly realized.It's just that the two of them talked in English occasionally, so Huada didn't know that his young master went to the United States to "study abroad".

"Mr. Hua, I heard from the front employee that you want to buy a batch of red goods?" Closeness is closeness, but business is still the most important thing. Smith quickly turned the topic to business.

Hua Fei smiled and nodded, "Yes, I need the M103 7.62mm rifle produced by the Springfield Armory, and the Browning M103 pistol produced by the Colt Gun Manufacturing Company. Has Mr. Moses Browning designed and produced a heavy machine gun? If not, I will order the Maxim heavy machine gun!"

rifle!pistol!Heavy machine gun!With such complete requirements, Smith subconsciously guessed that he might have met a big customer.

"Mr. Hua, rifles and pistols are not a problem. It's just that Mr. Browning really designed a heavy machine gun. It's just that my party is not interested in it, so it hasn't been mass-produced, so there may be problems with the supply of goods. In addition, no Know how much goods you need?"

Hua Fei is aware of the famous Browning M117 heavy machine gun, but judging from the model, it only started to be finalized and produced in 117.As for what he purchased were all American-style equipment, he not only had the consideration of standardization, but also planned to use the transaction to get closer to the Americans.

"I need 103 M103 rifles, 20 Browning M150 pistols, and [-] Maxim heavy machine guns! In addition, I need [-] rifle ammunition, [-] pistol ammunition, and [-] million machine gun ammunition. Twenty more wireless telegraph receivers are required."

Smith jumped up from his chair in fright, two thousand rifles?What is this concept?You must know that since he started operating red goods, the total number of goods sold has not been two thousand.This amount is definitely not something his small foreign firm can eat in one bite.

Who is this young man who has studied in the United States at a young age?Could it be the nobles of the Qing Dynasty?Or a cronies of the governor of a certain place?He has the ability to swallow such a large amount of red goods in one gulp?Or do you have other purposes?

Smith was a little uncertain. Out of caution, he couldn't help asking, "Dear sir, please allow me to ask the doubts in my heart. In your country, neither Springfield nor Browning 103 The most excellent weapon, why did you choose this instead of the Mauser which is very popular in your country?"

Hua Fei smiled, and the Browning 103 is fine, but the Springfield 103, also known as the Springfield rifle, is definitely one of the best rifles of the twentieth century.It became the standard equipment of the U.S. Army before World War I, and it was used until 138 years, until it was replaced with an M1 Garand automatic rifle.However, due to insufficient production of Garand rifles, the M103 was still the main equipment of the US military during World War II.This Mauser imitation rifle has served the U.S. military for more than 100 years, and has produced many improved models. It is well-deservedly called the first U.S. rifle.

"I like the United States, is this a good reason?" Hua Fei skillfully avoided this question.

"Of course, of course, the United States of America is indeed a country that is easy to like. But to be honest, our shop is too small to take on such a large order. If you don't mind, I can introduce you to a big company. How about it?"

"Which company?" Hua Fei didn't mind which company took the order.He only needs to obtain weapons, and he can use this to trade to build a thread with foreigners.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, foreigners were often more in control than the emperors in Beijing.

"Citibank!"

Hua Fei was startled. Having a clear understanding of the American social structure, he understood that the rulers of the entire United States are not the so-called political parties or parliaments, but bankers, or the big financial groups behind the bankers.

Hua Fei has also heard a little bit about Citibank's secrets in China.From the beginning of its establishment in China, he was the treasury agent of the United States in China, that is, the bank that accepted the boxer indemnity, from which we can see the government background of Citibank.

With a registered capital of only US$50, Citibank opened branches in China, issued banknotes indiscriminately, resold silver, speculated on foreign exchange, and robbed huge profits without capital.In addition, they smuggled cultural relics and sold arms in China.And before and after the founding of New China, they closed down one after another.The deposits of a large number of depositors have become suspenseful.It can be said that foreign banks are the most powerful gold-absorbing device for looting and looting in China's chaotic period.
