Beiyang reactionaries

When the old transportation system was strong, the issuance of public bonds was ideal.Many business groups and many banks are rushing to buy.In fact, it is another kind of voting certificate.Now Zhou Ziqi is issuing public bonds not only on behalf of some people in the old transportation department, but also on behalf of the Beijing government, with Cao Kun's support behind him.Is there no one in Shanghai who wants to join Cao Kun?

After all, Cao Kun currently controls the Beijing government.

The dignified Jin Yunpeng cabinet also said it would fall when it said it would fall.Taking refuge in Cao Kun, the Beijing government, and Zhou Ziqi, they can give a lot in return.

"This is the second reason I want to say. Before you came, someone in Shanghai's financial circle and business circles had spoken out that no one was allowed to buy Beijing government bonds."

"Who?"

Gao Enhong was taken aback.

Who the hell is so courageous to directly challenge the Beijing government, directly with the old transportation department, and directly with Cao Kun, the patrol envoy of Zhiluyu.

Although Qiu Jinyuan was at his own home, he still whispered: "Kang Xinru of the Southwest Commercial Bank, Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing of the Ningshang Chamber of Commerce. They have already spoken to the Shanghai financial and business circles. If anyone buys Beijing government bonds, they will refuse to cooperate in the future." .We will be enemies when we meet in the future.”

"Damn."

He remembered how he met Zhu Baosan, Yu Qiaqing, and Kang Xinru before.These people were all smiling and treated themselves so attentively. They never thought that they were the ones behind the scenes.

"why?"

"Brother An Ding, you didn't even understand these things clearly, so you came to Shanghai?"

"I didn't intend to come to Shanghai at first. It's just that Gong Gong suddenly asked me, so I hurried south. I really don't know much about the situation here."

"Then let me tell you. I guess you know Southwest Commercial Bank, that is the property of General Duan, the supervisor of border defense. As for Zhu Baosan, Yu Qiaqing and the Ningshang Association, they have already cooperated with General Duan. Who do you think this is?"

"Duan Xun, Superintendent of Frontier Defense."

"kindness."

Gao Enhong shook his head.

Duan Xun is completely cutting off the Beijing government's way of life, and he is also forcing Cao Kun.

"You don't know. Now the Southwest Commercial Bank has a large amount of money, which is the customs duties of the thirteen provinces. With this money, how many people in Shanghai's financial circles and business circles hope to get the financial support of the Southwest Commercial Bank?" Support. Who would dare to offend the Southwest Commercial Bank at this time? Not to mention Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing speaking, how could those people support you."

"The same is true for your Huzhou Chamber of Commerce."

"of course."

Qiu Jinyuan nodded without hesitation.Then he said: "You should know that it used to be said that the tycoons in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in Huzhou, and the tycoons in Huzhou are in Nanxun. But most of our merchants in Nanxun are from silk merchants. But since the raw silk from Britain and Japan began to enter China, there has been a serious blow. Many of the Nanxun silk merchants that dominated China's raw silk business went bankrupt. Although most of my lake merchants have switched to other businesses now, the current momentum of my lake merchants is no longer comparable to that of tide merchants (one of the Cantonese merchants) Chaoshan merchants) and Ningbo merchants (Ningbo merchants). Especially Ningbo merchants and Yushang merchants (Chongqing merchants). Both of them are latecomers, and they are well-known in the banking circles of Shanghai and even the whole country. How dare we offend at this time? Southwest Commercial Bank, and people from the Ningshang Chamber of Commerce. We still need their support in many aspects."

Qiu Jinyuan shook his head.

Lake merchants, the most important ones are Nanxun merchants, they are not living well now.The main reason is that the rise of lake merchants relied on raw silk and silk.They monopolized China's silk business back then, and their silk could be sold to Europe.All of them were extremely rich, and even the Liu family of Nanxun rich man claimed to have 2000 million assets in the late Qing Dynasty.No less assets than the red-capped businessmen back then.

It is a pity that as the machines of the British and Japanese merchants entered China, their raw silk was cheaper and the quality was not inferior to that of China.In addition, at that time, the country did not collect taxes on foreign products, but collected taxes on domestic products.Various reasons led to the closure of raw silk factories in Zhejiang one after another.A large number of Nanxun merchants went bankrupt during this process, and the influence of Lake merchants was also greatly reduced.

It can be said that the Shanxi merchants and Lake merchants who were the most arrogant in the late Qing Dynasty, although their foundations are still there, their influence is no longer comparable to that of the newly emerging Ningshang Association and Guangdong merchants.It is not even comparable to the Chongqing businessmen who have just risen for a short time.

At this time, Lake Merchants need to keep a low profile. How dare they offend the upstart Southwest Commercial Bank and Ningshang Association in Shanghai's financial circle.

"No way?"

"Brother An Ding, I'll also tell you something you don't know."

"Please."

"Do you know what Lu Yongxiang, the Governor of Zhejiang Province, told me about the lake business representative?"

"how?"

"Lu Yongxiang's people just said it directly. Whoever buys the government bonds of the Beijing government will have trouble with Lu Yongxiang. If anyone has trouble with Lu Yongxiang, he will make people unable to gain a foothold in Zhejiang."

"Too domineering."

Gao Enhong was a scholar, and he was very dissatisfied when he heard Lu Yongxiang's bandit-like style.Issuing public bonds, whether you buy or not is a personal economic behavior.You, a local warlord, even gave such an order directly.

Totally lawless.

"Which of the current warlords is not overbearing. Not only Lu Yongxiang, but He Fenglin, the Songhu Army Guard, has also spoken. Anyone who dares to buy Beijing government bonds, then don't even think about doing business in Shanghai."

Gao Enhong's face became very ugly.

Now warlords like Duan Xun, Lu Yongxiang, and He Fenglin are all involved, and none of them allow Shanghai to buy Beijing government bonds.If things go on like this, the government bonds of the Beijing government really cannot be sold.

If Zhou Ziqi cannot raise money, the result will be the same as Jin Yunpeng.

"Do you think there is any other way?"

"Anyway, there is nothing I can do here. Maybe if you ask General Duan Xun, the supervisor of the border defense, it may be possible. But Brother Anding, you really don't understand why Duan Xun, the supervisor of the border defense, Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and He Fenglin, the envoy of the Songhu Army so?"

"Of course I know."

Gao Enhong is not suitable in the political circle.

But of course he understands these things.How long did it take for the Anhui War to end.Although Duan Qirui went to the field, the relationship between the Zhiwan and Anhui factions has not been good, and the two sides have not completely determined the outcome.

It's normal to pull each other's hind legs.

It's just a pity for China.

Because of the internal friction of these warlords, it has seriously affected China's development and China's construction.Take a look at the downfall of three cabinets within one year this year, and Zhou Ziqi is already the fourth cabinet.

If Zhou Ziqi falls again, it will be really chaotic.

These warlords only consider their own interests, who will consider the development of the country and the construction of the country.Thinking of Gao Enhong, he could only heave a long sigh.Compared with when Yuan Shikai was here, these warlords are more arrogant and domineering now, and they don't take the Beijing government seriously at all.

But it is.

Cao Kun fought against the central government as a local governor, defeated Duan Qirui, and currently controls Beijing.

They're all raccoons of the same species.

"Brother An Ding, actually I suggest you not to wading into this muddy water. Times have changed now, and it is no longer the era of Liang God of Wealth. Although Zhou Ziqi is the prime minister of the cabinet, it is very difficult to raise funds in the country. With you The ability is not suitable for these things."

"I also understood."

These are the things that Gao Enhong is not good at.

In the past, of course he would not have come to do such a thing.But Zhou Ziqi has no helpers around, so Gao Enhong will help him no matter how difficult it is.

"However, Mr. Zhang has been so kind to me. I have to help him as the Prime Minister of the cabinet this time."

"You'd better think about it. If you want to raise funds in Shanghai, don't say it's you, even if Liang Caishen comes here in person, the current situation is not very sure."

"it is good."
