Beiyang reactionaries

Wang Yitang is very good at talking.

Although he is a senior, when Duan Xun was still teaching in the military academy, Wang Yitang was already a general of the Beiyang Army.But in the political arena for a long time, Wang Yitang didn't play tricks with Duan Xun at all.

Because Wang Yitang knew that the future of the Anhui Department depended on the young general in front of him.Even whether Duan Qirui has a chance to return to Beijing depends on Duan Xun's future development.

"Where is such an easy thing."

Duan Xun sighed, and said: "Mr. Shenwu (Wang Yitang), the anti-Japanese sentiment in China is so high now, we are all condemning it. You have seen what happened at my inauguration ceremony, so you should know what it is now situation. If we don’t solve the current problem, we will be unable to move forward in the future.”

"A bunch of nerds, what do these people know."

Wang Yitang pouted.

All they know is that this is wrong and that is wrong.How do they know the difficulties of the government.Since the founding of the Republic of China, the Beijing government has been short of money, clinking poor, and it is very cautious to even spend hundreds of thousands.

Without borrowing money, government spending is not enough.

And who can borrow money?

The most generous in Japan.

Japan has many requirements, and other countries also have many requirements, but borrowing money from Japan is still the fastest and easiest.It's all about borrowing money, there is no loan required.If you borrow some money, you will scold, if you borrow some money, you will scold, and how the government will do things in the future is too funny.A group of nerds with elm heads, who don't know the difficulties of being in charge of the family.

"Mr. Shenwu, the public opinion is so, we must solve it."

"What do you think, General?"

"Some ideas."

It must be resolved.

Looking at these people who were unanimously identified by public opinion as leaders of the pro-Japanese faction, Duan Xun understood that something must be done.Yang Yongtai's suggestion is very good.If he can take back the control of Han Yeping Company at this time, it will definitely be of great benefit to Duan Xun.

So Duan Xun said: "Mr. Shenwu, I have thought a lot. If we want to get rid of the current unfavorable public opinion, we must do something. I am thinking about the issue of Han Yeping Company. If we can negotiate with Japan, we will get back Regarding the control of Han Yeping Company, I think public opinion will definitely change."

"Han Yeping Company? General, do you want to take back the control of Han Yeping Company?"

Wang Yitang frowned.

Many people here are aware of the affairs of Hanyeping Company.In the past, Yuan Shikai also thought about taking back the control of Han Yeping Company, but in the end the amount involved was too large.At that time, Yuan Shikai had no money himself, so how could he be responsible for such a heavy debt for Han Yeping Company.So things were over at that time.

"I am fully responsible for the debts of Hanyeping Company, and I also recognize the low-price iron ore and coal mines that Hanyeping Company promised to Japanese companies. And all the new coal mining enterprises I will build in the next five years, all the machines will be imported from Japan Buy."

"General, it's not worth it."

Wang Yitang spoke immediately.

Giving way too much.

A Hanyeping company is really not worth that much money.Yuan Shikai originally wanted to take back Han Yeping Company, but after hearing that Han Yeping Company owed nearly 3000 million yuan, he immediately withdrew from Han Yeping Company.

Because it's not worth it.

I owe so much money and want the government to pay the bill. How can there be such a good thing.It is not worth so much money to sell Han Yeping Company, how could Yuan Shikai be taken advantage of by such a person.

"I know. It's not economical, but if we can really get back the control of Hanyeping Company, then we can quickly change the current public opinion situation. This is even more important."

"General Duan, do you know how much it is?"

Chen Jintao asked Duan Xun very seriously.

Chen Jintao was born in the Revolutionary Party and was the Chief Financial Officer of the Nanjing Nationalist Government after the Revolution of [-].The reason why Chen Jintao was appointed as the chief financial officer is because Chen Jintao is known as the person who understands the economy best in China.

He studied sociology and mathematics at Columbia University in his early years, and later went to Yale University to study political economy and was a doctoral student at Yale University.Returned to China to participate in the second study tour graduate examination organized by the Department of Qing Government, ranked No. 1, and was awarded Jinshi of Law and Politics.Subsequently, he successively served as the supervisor of the Bank of Great Qing, the deputy director of the Printing and Casting Bureau, the director of the Statistics Bureau, the director of the Budget Department, the chairman of the Currency Reform Committee, and the deputy supervisor of the Bank of Great Qing (deputy governor of the Central Bank).

Later, when Yuan Shikai became president, Chen Jintao continued to be reused.Including after Yuan Shikai's death, Duan Qirui was in charge of the Beijing government, and he also attached great importance to Chen Jintao, appointing him as the chief financial officer.In the Beiyang government, Chen Jintao served as the chief financial officer twice.

It's a pity that Chen Jintao offended Xu Shuzheng two years ago, was kicked out by Xu Shuzheng, and lost the position of chief financial officer.He was even involved in a bribery case and was thrown into prison.But after only staying in there for a few months, it came out.Because although he was involved in the bribery case, he was still an economic talent that Duan Qirui was very optimistic about.And many people think that he is involved in the bribery case. It is not that he has a problem at all, but that someone deliberately threw him into prison.The spearhead was directed at Xu Shuzheng.

It is precisely because Chen Jintao is an economic talent that Duan Qirui values ​​very much, so Chen Jintao's name was on the wanted list after the Zhiwan War.

Chen Jintao is more familiar with Han Yeping Company than these people here.Because when Sun Yat-sen was the interim president in Nanjing, he really had no money, not even tens of thousands of silver dollars.So Sun Yat-sen could only choose to mortgage Hanyeping Company to Japan, and borrowed more than 200 million from Japan, and also agreed to some unreasonable demands of Japan.Han Yeping Company fell into the hands of Japanese businessmen, and Sun Yat-sen was more or less responsible.

As the chief financial officer of the Nanjing government at that time, Chen Jintao was very familiar with the internal affairs of Han Yeping Company.

"I know the general situation."

"General Duan, this amount of money is too huge, and the general's current financial strength cannot afford it."

Chen Jintao spoke directly.

Chen Jintao studied economics, and he can roughly judge Duan Xun's financial situation.And since he defected to Duan Xun, he has been working with Wang Yongjiang.Wang Yongjiang did not hide Duan Xun's financial situation, so Chen Jintao knew Duan Xun's financial situation.With Duan Xun's current financial situation, he simply does not have the strength to pay off his debts.With so much money, plus interest, even if Duan Xun was killed, he would not be able to pay it back.

Not to mention repaying the money, even Duan Xun had borrowed so much money before, and given Duan Xun's current financial situation, it would be difficult to pay it back.After defecting to Duan Xun recently, Chen Jintao was greatly surprised by learning about Duan Xun's financial situation.

Duan Xun is crazy, and everyone under Duan Xun is crazy.

Given Duan Xun's current financial situation, he dared to borrow so much money.When the money is not cleared in the future, the minerals, railway operation rights, and Yangtze River shipping rights under Duan Xun's control will all fall into the hands of foreign countries and banks.

too bold.

He borrowed more money than Duan Qirui.

"I know the question of money well."

Hearing Duan Xun's answer, Chen Jintao frowned.

Money problems on your mind?

Chen Jintao really didn't believe it.If money can come out so easily, starting from Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, including Sun Yat-sen after the Revolution of [-], why should they bear the infamy and borrow money from foreigners.

Do you have a count?

How many do you have for a warlord who has just risen.

"Mr. Shenwu (Wang Yitang), I think you will act as the negotiator with full authority to discuss the matter of Han Yeping Company with the Japanese side. As long as the matter of Han Yeping Company is negotiated, things will be much easier."

The pro-Japanese faction, the reason why they are pro-Japanese faction is because these people here have a lot of connections with Japan.Either with the Japanese political circles, or with the Japanese military circles, or with the Japanese business circles.

With them, it will be much easier for Duan Xun to deal with Japan.

Wang Yitang still said cautiously: "General Duan, have you really thought about it?"

"kindness."

"it is good."

Wang Yitang nodded.
