New Warlords 1909

Soon, in the major newspapers in Shanghai, the keywords that appeared the most were stock market, stocks, crash, and crisis.And once overwhelmed the main themes of the times such as revolution, democracy, constitutionalism, and freedom.

Countless critics and contributors have submitted manuscripts to newspapers, talking about their understanding of the stock market.However, the stock market is a new thing after all, and everyone's articles stay at a superficial level.Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, the Shanghai stock market is still rising!As a result, more people came to the conclusion that An Tong was scaremongering and intentionally creating panic in the stock market for profit.

However, Shanghai citizens soon discovered that the stocks issued by many foreign businessmen began to fall.Reminiscent of An Tong's prophecy on a piece of waste paper, this can scare the common people.Coupled with the historical distrust of foreigners, many people began to scramble to sell the stocks of foreign merchants, which exacerbated the decline of foreign merchant stocks.

In a foreign firm, the Englishman McBian was furious.With the help of this stock boom, the stock price of Lange Zhituo Value Company, which he established a few years ago, has soared to [-] to [-] times the issue price.Due to his ignorance of Chinese newspapers, he was not aware of the article published by An Tong.

But one day, his stock was suddenly sold off intensively, and the stock price fell slowly.McBian didn't pay much attention to this drop.But soon, a huge disaster came.People in the whole Qing Dynasty seemed to be crazy, and they were scrambling to sell Langezhi stock. The urgency was many times stronger than when they bought it.

What happened!Maibian was completely dumbfounded, and he turned around when the stock price had almost fallen to the issue price.Roaring and jumping, "Quickly check for me, check, who stopped us first?"

"Mr. McBian, I'm afraid it will take ten days!"

"Damn it, then you should know why our stocks were sold off so wildly?"

"Sir, I think it should be because of this article!"

After reading An Tong's stock price prediction article, Mai Bian collapsed on the seat in an instant, and said in a daze, "Damn, damn, who can tell me who this An Tong is, who actually named me in the newspaper and attacked me? .I want to sue him, this is slander, this is malicious framing!"

As a 'news figure', Hua Fei turned a deaf ear to the disputes outside.It's almost June, and his stocks are about to be sold out.If history does not deviate too much, the London stock market at this time has already begun to plummet.The Shanghai stock market, which had delayed the outbreak of the crisis due to the stagnation of information, fell into chaos ahead of time because of Hua Fei's disruption.

Hua Fei has already done what he should do. His concentrated selling and blocking the stocks of some foreign businessmen and the stock market crash prediction caused him to lose at least nearly [-] silver dollars in income.

However, Hua Fei does not regret it. If those greedy foreign businessmen can take away less of China's wealth, and if the people of the country can be less likely to commit suicide due to stock bankruptcy, then even if Hua Fei loses some silver dollars, he will never lose money. Do not hesitate.

7 Banks and investment banks

In July, the whole society is still struggling violently in the dusk.Since Wang Jingwei failed to assassinate Zaifeng in April, the whole people fell into a terrible silence.And this kind of silent brewing will surely reach the climax of explosion in the coming year.

Kyle has already shipped a batch of rifles, pistols, heavy machine guns, and most of the ammunition in advance, while he himself remains in the United States to contact the purchase of ammunition factory machinery.The rest of the goods will be delivered at the same time as the next batch of machinery.

Stocks have been sold out and most of the weapons ordered have arrived.But Hua Fei had no intention of returning. Instead, he took people to a garment factory and ordered thousands of new black and green military uniforms.

After more than half a year of brutal training, the momentum and demeanor of the two hundred family members are no longer the same as before.Put on the newly ordered black and green military uniform, and put on the uniform Springfield rifle.The whole team seemed to be unable to meet the requirements Hua Fei had in mind.But Hua Fei is sure that such a team can definitely be regarded as the elite of the elite in this era.

Liu Chuanhai is out of his mind these days, he always finds an excuse to sneak out, and then runs over with a smile on his face.But in July, his smirks became less and less, but the wrinkles on his brows became more and more.

Finally one day, as soon as Liu Chuanhai walked into the yard, he fell to the ground and cried loudly, regardless of his image as a housekeeper.

"Master...Master, I am finished. Why didn't I listen to you, all my stocks have become waste paper. My three thousand silver dollars, my pension money!"

It turned out that Steward Liu secretly bought all his savings into stocks when he saw the stock market was booming.Later, when he saw the young master selling stocks, he was puzzled.Seeing that the stock price is still booming, it keeps rising.He took a chance and did not sell Hua Fei's shares together.

Later, when the stock price dropped, Steward Liu was even more reluctant to sell it.I always think that one day it will suddenly rise again, make up for the loss and then throw it away.However, today, that foreign firm suddenly closed down, and the stocks he owned instantly turned into waste paper, worthless.

After learning about the plunge of rubber stocks in London, many foreigners know that it is difficult to continue to make profits here.Immediately swept away all the stocks and property, and fled back to the country, never to return.Many stocks immediately turned into waste paper overnight.At the same time, due to the large-scale collapse of the stock market, the major banks in Shanghai began to fall into crisis one after another, and many of them went bankrupt.

An Tong's terrible prophecy has indeed become a reality.

At this time, many people began to think of the stock market crash prediction more than a month ago, and then think of what happened today.They discovered painfully that if they had believed this prophecy at the beginning, they would not have lost today.Unfortunately, there will never be an if in the world.

People tend to go from one extreme to another, especially when they are at a loss.Therefore, Hua Fei's stock market prediction, from the initial disdain and doubt to today's decree, countless stockholders gave up the mentality of waiting to see and get lucky, and began to sell their stocks in an all-round way, thus accelerating the stock market's plunge. unexpected.

Numerous banks went bankrupt and closed down, exacerbating the panic in the entire market.The bankruptcy of the Qianzhuang caused many commercial factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which were closely related to the Qianzhuang, to be in trouble because of the break of the capital chain.

The owners of Zhengyuan, Zhaokang, and Qianyu's three banks, Chen Yiqing, Dai Baojia, Lu Dasheng, and several owners of the banks who came and went, gathered together and sighed.

"Hey, there will be today sooner rather than later. I should have believed in the prophecy of Master An Tong back then. How did I expect such a loss today?"

"Don't mention it, anyway, my bank has no cash to mobilize. Many depositors broke through the threshold and want to cash out. If you don't help me, my bank will be ruined."

"Old Chen, a few days ago, a deputy manager from Pacific Bank came to our door and proposed to organize our branches in various places."

One word from this person immediately aroused the support of several other villa owners.It seems that this Pacific company has not only found one.

"Pacific Bank, which country is behind it?"

"This is very mysterious, and it is still unknown."

"Don't care which country he is from, survival is the most important thing! If there is no other way, go talk to this Pacific Bank."

In Shanghai's most famous concession on the Bund, in an ordinary high-rise building, the conference room was full of people.If you are familiar with the banking industry in Shanghai, you will find that most of them are excellent financial talents who have just lost their jobs.Among them were several deputy managers of foreign banks who were laid off due to operating difficulties.

Everyone stared curiously at the young man sitting on the chairman's seat. They didn't understand his origin, didn't know his name, and didn't even know what method he used to bring together these elites from many industries in Shanghai.

"Gentlemen, the talents of Pacific Bank and Galaxy Investment Company are gathered here today, and I am the chairman of the two banks. However, in terms of business, I am not as talented as you. I will not interfere with your work, everyone. The position has been appointed, and I should do my best to live up to my expectations."

It was Hua Fei who sat on the chairman seat and spoke.I saw him wearing a clean black tunic suit with a stand collar, which was quite different from the mandarin jacket suits present.

"I am here today, and I would like to make a few requests for your work. Mr. Xu Fu is responsible for the daily operations of Pacific Bank in Shanghai. I hope you will open ten branches within a year. Among them, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou , Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuhan and other important towns, priority will be given to opening.”

"As for the reorganization of Zhengyuan, Zhaokang, Qianyu and other banks, we can continue. The only requirement is that we must have absolute control! And accept our bank's management and system."

"The branch business is mainly to absorb deposits and savings, supplemented by banknote business. The Shanghai head office takes the overall situation and promotes the bank's credit banknotes at the fastest speed. I have a few suggestions for Pacific Bank. I hope you can refer to them. First, strengthen Confidentiality system, no one is allowed to interfere with the customer's freedom of deposit and withdrawal, no one is allowed to inquire about customer information. Second, open an anonymous account. If the customer needs, you can open a number account or a specially agreed secret insurance account. Third, handle financial risks for customers Investment business, entrusted investment in foreign exchange business."

"Galaxy Investment Company is under the charge of Mr. Zheng Da. Affected by the tide of rubber stocks, there are many factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that are in trouble. I hope you can take this opportunity to look for high-quality factories, or participate in shares, or purchase, regardless of category, It mainly focuses on investment and equity participation that does not participate in the management. Of course, these are my immature opinions, and if there are any omissions, please give me your advice.”

Xu Fu, the first general manager of the Pacific Bank, quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead when he heard this. Is this also called being unfamiliar with banking business?Is this also called immature opinion?Xu Fu has worked in HSBC Shanghai Branch for more than ten years, and he thinks he is very familiar with banking business.But after hearing Hua Fei's few suggestions, the huge waves in his heart were simply indescribable.

Everyone made promises, and their respect for their young boss was undoubtedly stronger.

Whether it is a confidentiality system, an anonymous account, or even foreign exchange investment, it is not uncommon in banks run by foreigners.But this Mr. Chairman, who is obviously from the Qing Dynasty, actually confessed these three points in such a serious manner, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary laymen to see so thoroughly.It is conceivable that as the situation in the Qing Dynasty becomes more and more chaotic, these striking features of the Pacific Bank will surely attract a large amount of deposits.

It's not that Hua Fei is familiar with the banking industry, but that he knows the success stories of Swiss banks in later generations.In a sense, the reason why Switzerland has become the world's largest offshore financial center and manages one-third to one-fourth of the world's private wealth is not unrelated to their strict confidentiality system.

Making money in stocks is only a temporary measure.And the bank, the gold absorber of wealth, is the top priority of Hua Fei's trip to Shanghai.Banks can absorb a large amount of private wealth, but purely gathering financial wealth is, after all, a bubble-like existence.The fundamental task of economic society is to develop production and generate consumption circulation.Therefore, Hua Fei established Yinhe Investment Company, so that the high-quality factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not stop production due to lack of capital chain.

The planning and layout of Shanghai before the big change has been basically completed.If these two companies can develop smoothly, it will not only bring sufficient sources of funds to Hua Fei, but also allow him to affect the layout of industry and commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even affect the future of the entire country.

Although he can rely on his historical advantages to take an unlimited advantage in the stock market boom, he cannot manipulate these two companies to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai.After all, in his previous life, he was just a mercenary.All he can do is to give the two companies sufficient funds and recruit a large number of outstanding talents.

It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen.

(New week, hard work 2 update~ I hope everyone can support it, if the position of the new book list is high enough, the possibility of three updates is not ruled out~haha~)

8 Local Guards

Inside the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Assistant Ambassador Okada Koji frowned as he looked at the information he had just received.

"After the investigation, there is only so much information?"

"Hey! We don't know what kind of means this young man named Hua Fei used to steal a lot of wealth in the stock market. According to preliminary calculations, it will not be less than 400 million. Many foreign firms, especially those in the Great Japanese Empire The foreign firm suffered heavy losses."

"It is believed that this Hua Fei is quite well-known in the social circle of Shanghai people, especially with the Americans. He is very close. I don't know how many transactions he has made secretly. Moreover, he has more than 200 guards, and he has a military temperament. According to preliminary estimates, The combat power is in the Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as an elite."

"Reliable news, many forces in Shanghai are very interested in this young man. Some people suspect that this young man may be related to Mr. An Tong, who was very popular in the newspapers before, because all his actions in the stock market are related to An Tong. The timing of Tong’s commentary article is very suitable. The only thing we don’t understand is that the stock market crash commentary written by Antong’s social commentator did not make him earn more silver dollars, but lost a lot of money. Some underground forces tried to attack Their station, but suffered heavy losses. Later, foreigners intervened in this matter, and the disturbance quickly subsided."

"Leaving Shanghai this time, I didn't bring much cash with me. Moreover, the fleet has gunboats escorted by the Americans. Preliminary estimates suggest that he should have made an arms deal with the Americans. The quantity is unknown, the price is unknown, and the purpose is unknown!"
