Respectfully

The seventh year of the Republic of China, mid-August 1916 in the Gregorian calendar

The Huaxia coalition government formally promulgated the "Securities Law" and "Securities Market Management Regulations", and ordered the federal and provincial governments to conduct rectification and investigation of the financial securities market in the province according to law.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, although it is an edict to the whole country, but which provinces and places are mainly targeted, you can see clearly at a glance.

The military government of the six southern provinces moved very quickly. Song Zhou directly ordered to investigate the newly opened exchanges in the six provinces, and all those that did not meet the requirements of the laws and regulations would be shut down and banned. Song Wu was ordered to deal with No. .20 Sun Qingquan, commander of the second division, jointly implemented this order.

Strictly speaking, this operation in the six southern provinces is not "legal", but under the rule of the warlords, even if it is not legal, it will become legal.

The businessmen were dumbfounded. Except for a very small number of people who were agents of foreign banks in China, and the funds for setting up the exchange were also provided by foreign banks, most of the funds for setting up the exchange were almost all of their net worth!

Song Zhou didn't care about these, and Song Wu was even worse. Sun Qingquan directly sent troops to seal up twelve exchanges, and found that three of them were just hanging signs and did not conduct actual transactions, but the stocks were all the way up.It is clear at a glance what such an exchange is for.

The actions of the military government of the six southern provinces were very sudden, without any warning in advance, and no news was sent back from the nails planted by foreign forces in the government. By the time they reacted, Sun Qingquan's troops had already sealed off no less than twenty exchanges.Those who were well-informed immediately sold all the exchange stocks they held in their hands after learning about the actions of the military government.Those who don't know it yet continue to dream of getting rich.

Greed will surely sow bitter fruit.

Ren Wuchu glanced at the watch on his wrist, closed his bloodshot eyes, and pinched the base of his nose. He had only slept for less than two hours for three consecutive days, including the five people he invited, even those who paid the most attention to clean appearance Yes, now his face is full of stubble, and his clothes are wrinkled like dried pickles.

Playing securities and stocks, they accompany them, but these foreign banks and speculators probably did not expect that Huaxia wanted to "play" with them not just these.

It's against the rules, but who cares?The economy is inseparable from politics. It was their negligence that they did not anticipate that Huaxia would not play the cards according to the rules. No wonder anyone.

Robbers go to their own homes to rob things, who will talk to them morally?The robber with the knife is tough enough, but a shuttle of bullets sweeps past him, no matter how tough he is, he will go to see God.

Ren Wuchu opened his eyes, stood up, stretched his waist vigorously, and moved his neck, only to feel his neck bones cracking.

"Everyone," Ren Wuchu slightly raised his voice, "The big fish is about to enter the net, and it's time to catch the net!"

The actions of the governments of the six southern provinces must have disrupted the plans of foreign banks and speculators. Even if they can control the wind and rain in the financial market, they still have nothing to do with the state apparatus, especially when they talk about doing things according to the law, but they don’t follow the law at all. State apparatus.

Before, Ren Wuchu and others were throwing money against each other, and the two sides had a tie. Now the situation has reversed, and the government intervened. If one is not careful, these foreign banks and speculators will fall directly into the pit they dug themselves.

They can only save themselves by trying to pass on the losses before the Huaxia speculators "wake up".It's a pity that someone won't let them have their way.

Hearing Ren Wuchu's words, the tiredness on the faces of the other five people immediately disappeared. Is it time?

"It's time." Ren Wuchu laughed, "If you don't do anything, the biggest fish will probably run away."

"The funds in our hands are almost spent." The man with two beautiful mustaches said: "If we want to collect the net, this amount of money may not be enough."

"Don't worry." Ren Wuchu took out two money orders from his jacket pocket, which were sent by Li Jinyan and Boss Song from Tianjin, plus the previously reserved funds, it was enough.

Even if it wasn't enough, there was nothing he could do. In order to support them, Li Jinyan had almost emptied his pockets. If Ren Wuchu spoke again, he would "smash the pot and sell the iron".Song Wu also tried every means to get another million, some of which came from Ichiro Imai and others.For Imai and others, doing such a thing is quite risky, but they have no hesitation.

There are two Japanese banks in the Federation of Foreign Banks. Imai Ichiro, who was appreciated by the senior management of the Taihei Group, once met with the principal of one of the banks and had a short conversation.Imai Ichiro knows better than anyone how bad Japan's economic situation is today. Even the big chaebols are not easy to live in. They are all relying on borrowing to survive. How comfortable can life be?

These two Japanese banks are backed by the Japanese royal family and big chaebols. As long as they can be defeated, the Japanese economy that is on the verge of collapse will definitely be worsened.

On April 4, after more than a month of "prosperity", Huaxia speculators finally suffered a blow to the head.

Except for the exchanges and trust companies that were forcibly banned by the military government, most of the remaining exchanges reported that they could not conduct transactions and the whereabouts of investors were unknown.By the 21st, there were less than three exchanges that were able to operate normally, and only one trust company left, and the rest were all shut down and closed down.

After the news came out, the stock price of the exchange was leaked thousands of miles away, and the trading floor was deadly silent.There was a short-term rise in the price in the middle, but it was only a flash in the pan. Soon, the stock price fell even more severely, not only the exchange stocks, but the prices of all stocks were falling at an alarming speed.

Everyone was in a panic, and there was a lot of noise, which was in stark contrast to the cheers of the previous few days.The few pieces of paper that were tightly held in the hands before have all become hot potatoes now.

The foreign banks and speculators who drove up the stock price have chosen to give up. Their main purpose is to make money, and it is only incidental to serve politics. A market that is destined not to allow them to continue to make money makes no sense to continue to maintain it.If those exchanges were not blocked or closed down, they can still think of a way, but the Chinese people's actions are too fast and the methods are too "thorough", and they have suffered quite a lot of losses. How to avoid further losses is their first priority now. something to consider.Otherwise, they will not be able to explain to the shareholders at all. What awaits them is either being fired, becoming impoverished, or a bullet.

Ren Wuchu and the others were also watching all of this, the chaotic trading hall, crying out in panic and despair, with numb expressions.

"Brother Lieyang, I won't do such a thing again." The man with the mustache leaned on the sofa, pulled off his collar, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The ashtray on the table was already full. cigarette butts.

Even if the result was expected to be like this in advance, no hard-hearted person could turn a blind eye to so many desperate faces.

Ren Wuchu didn't speak, he just leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, his expression very calm.Since the cause is planted, the fruit must be swallowed, and people are always responsible for their actions.

Guanbei

"Speak less, call from Shanghai."

Ren Wuchu's telegram came very quickly. Li Jinyan fell silent after reading it.

"Speak less?"

"It's nothing."

From the few words in the telegram, Li Jinyan can fully guess what the trading hall looks like at this time. If those foreigners suffer losses, the losses of Huaxia speculators will only be greater than theirs.

How many people will be destroyed and displaced?

Even if he knew the situation would be like this, Li Jinyan would still support Ren Wuchu in doing so.Pustules and malignant tumors always have to be pierced to survive. China's financial market is too unregulated, and it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Speculators who only want to make money will bring greater opportunities to those who take advantage of loopholes.This time, they took precautions in advance to minimize the loss and impact, but what about the future?

The economic crisis in the 20s, the Great Depression in the 30s, and even the Southeast Asian financial crisis in later generations... Li Jinyan is not a god, and neither are Bai Baoqi and Ren Wuchu. They cannot eliminate all the dangerous factors that will affect China's economy.

What should you do if you encounter a more dangerous situation than this time?

Li Jinyan lowered his eyes, still puzzled.

but.After the efforts of Bai Baoqi, Ren Wuchu and others, the financial shock in Shanghai this time is nothing compared to the previous rubber stock market crash.

After all, rubber stocks have been "prosperous" for nearly two years, but this time the exchange stocks controlled by foreign banks have only been "red" for two months.Moreover, it is not only Chinese speculators who lost money this time, but also foreign banks and speculators.

On April 4, the Shanghai Stock Exchange stock myth was completely shattered.

These stocks, which once brought huge wealth, turned into pieces of waste paper overnight.A large number of Chinese speculators went bankrupt, and after waking up from their dreams of getting rich, they realized that they had nothing.

Li Jinshu stood on the side of the street in a daze, until a car horn sounded, and then saw Xu Yiwen looking at her from the car window.

"Jin Shu, get in the car." Xu Yiwen pushed open the door, waited until Li Jinshu got in the car and sat down, then told the driver to drive.

His wife has arrived in Shanghai with their son and settled in a bungalow in the French Concession.His wife's natal family was also a big family, so Xu Yiwen didn't want Li Jinshu and his wife to meet.

"Jinshu, shall I take you to Suzhou to relax?" Xu Yiwen put his arms around Li Jinshu's shoulders, "The scenery there..."

Before Xu Yiwen finished speaking, Li Jinshu was already lying in his arms and weeping bitterly.While crying, he said something vaguely.

Looking at Li Jinshu who was crying so badly, Xu Yiwen's heart had long since lost the pity of the past, only boredom remained.Send her to Suzhou, leave a sum of money, stabilize her first and then find another way... Even if the relationship is severed in the newspaper, Xu Yiwen is still quite afraid of Li Jinshu's natal family, because he is opposed to the government and warlords , but he also understands these people. Once the bottom line is touched, their methods are beyond what a mere businessman can bear.

If he had known from the beginning that she was a girl from the Li family in Guanbei, he wouldn't have gotten into this trouble...

On April 4, two Japanese banks in Shanghai suddenly broke into a group of Chinese soldiers armed with live ammunition, and arrested the person in charge of the bank without saying a word.

When the Japanese consul came to protest, the answer he got was that they had received a secret report that the heads of the two Japanese banks were involved in a bribery case and needed their cooperation in the investigation.

bribery?Cooperate with the investigation?Even so, is it necessary to seal up the bank while arresting people?

The Japanese tried to "reason" with the military government personnel, but unfortunately, the other party did not intend to reason with him at all.

In today's Japan, the back is no longer as tough as it was after the Sino-Japanese War. Not to mention them, even Western European countries, the extraterritorial rights in China have become useless.Before the Chinese occupied the territory of the British colony in Southeast Asia, didn't the British just recognize it by touching their noses?

What's more, the Japanese consul didn't believe the so-called "bribery" that the Chinese government officials said at all. The only thing he could think of was that the bank association's affairs in Shanghai were revealed and the Chinese people took advantage of it.

The Chinese people must know the mastermind behind this incident, they are retaliating, and Japan is their first target!

Even if he doesn't want to, the Japanese consul has to admit that compared to European countries, Japan is really a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch...

Negotiations were fruitless, and the Japanese consul had no choice but to return without success. He immediately reported the situation to the Minister Plenipotentiary in China, Higaki Masaru. After receiving this telegram, Higaki Masaru also had a headache. Now, the only way is to lose the car. Baoshuai, as a last resort, he can only admit to the crime of "bribery" that the Huaxia people said. If Huaxia is allowed to use this to get involved in the Bank Federation, the "enemy" of Japan may not be only Huaxia.

In the telegram sent back to the Japanese consul by Masayuki Hiki, there was a taste of "begging for perfection" and "bearing humiliation" between the lines. After the telegram was sent, he visited the British Minister Zhu Erdian. Please" get out.

Zhu Erdian understood the reason for Rizhiyi's visit, and he also knew what the Huaxia people were doing.

Wan Quan's plan failed. For the needs of the war, Britain still needs to maintain its "friendship" with China, and there must be a "victim" to let the Chinese people breathe.Japanese is the best choice.Chinese people should think so too.

Zhu Erdian folded his hands on the cane, looked at Hiki Masaki's eyes, and became "friendly".

The soldiers from the six southern provinces blocked the news of the two Japanese banks, and the newspaper saw it the next day. Li Jinyan also learned from the intelligence department that this operation was mainly advocated and planned by Song Wu, and the executor was Sun Qingquan.They not only arrested people, sealed the bank, but also broke down the door of the vault... The Japanese did not respond more violently to this except for two protests.Perhaps because there is no money in the vault?

After all, Japan is already poor enough...

This series of actions was inexplicably familiar to Li Jinyan. He raised his head to look at Young Marshal Lou who was sitting opposite him, and understood.

"how?"

"Young commander, we should collect money from Song Wu."

"Collect money?"

"Yes." Li Jinyan pointed to the information in his hand, "This way of robbing the bank is clearly a follow-up!"

Young Marshal Lou: "..."
