The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Why did Zhou Hexuan agree to do business with Song Ziwen without asking clearly?

Just a cliche.

Song Ziwen's answer was high-sounding: "If you want to issue paper currency in China, it is impossible to rely on the central bank alone. The Bank of China and the Bank of Communications must act together. But the Bank of China has too many private shares and must be further nationalized. Otherwise, there will definitely be trouble during the currency reform. After the nationalization of the Bank of China is completed, these three banks can be used to rescue the market, restructure other local banks that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and restore the national banking system to normal."

"This is what it should be. Roosevelt's first step in solving the economic crisis was to restore the U.S. banking system." Zhou Hexuan nodded.

Song Ziwen added: "When the banking system returns to health, the currency reform will be half successful. However, large companies across the country have suffered heavy losses and they lack funds, so we can provide funds. I heard that Brother Mingcheng's business is very big, so he must have funds too." If there is no shortage, why not use some money to provide relief and help our national enterprises tide over the difficulties?"

"This is a good thing, I will definitely help." Zhou Hexuan said righteously.

In fact, Zhou Hexuan was already furious!

Song Ziwen spoke like a savior, and the insidiousness in it was fully exposed.

Haha, further nationalize the Bank of China? This is tantamount to using the government's administrative order to forcibly acquire the shares held by bankers. In the current era of tight money, it is no different from an open robbery.

As for helping local banks and large enterprises to tide over the difficulties, at best it is called a bailout, at worst it is taking advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of the financial difficulties of banks and enterprises, making acquisitions at ultra-low stock prices is completely equivalent to getting nothing.

The most shameful thing is that the four major families definitely don't have that much money, so they will definitely use state-owned assets to "rescue the market." With a few more twists and turns, those state-owned assets used to "rescue the market" can easily become private property.

As long as you do it beautifully, this behavior is completely "legal" and you can't find any loopholes.

Song Ziwen obviously wanted to bring Zhou Hexuan into the group and give Zhou Hexuan some benefits. This was not only out of guilt, but also probably at the behest of Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Zhou Hexuan could not let his trip to the United States go in vain.

From a personal point of view, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen were very particular about what they did, and they felt that they were kind enough to Zhou Hexuan.

Zhou Hexuan has no sympathy for those national capitalists who have been robbed. Let's put it this way, nine out of ten people who can make a big business these days have the shadow of bureaucratic capital. Chiang Kai-shek's attacks on those people are purely dog-eat-dog.

If it were just like this, Zhou Hexuan would be happy to "complicit" with Chiang Kai-shek. After all, if you have money, you won't be a bastard.

What really made Zhou Hexuan angry was the way people like Lao Jiang acted. The banks and companies they have their eye on must be big guys making money every day. If they want to rob these big guys at the bottom, they have to wait until China's economy deteriorates further.

Thinking again of Chiang Kai-shek jumping into Roosevelt's trap, why didn't Zhou Hexuan react? Chiang Kai-shek was deliberately stalling for time, waiting until the situation was ripe before taking action, allowing China's silver crisis to worsen.

In the end, it is ordinary people who suffer!

As far as this matter is concerned, Lao Chiang's structure is too small. He can indeed reap benefits and even completely control the Chinese economy and fundamentally consolidate his dominance. But what he lost was the support of the people, especially the support of businessmen. From now on, Chinese businessmen will regard Chang Kaishen as a tiger or a wolf.

To put it more clearly, Chang Kaishen wants to take this opportunity to overdraw China's private financial resources, feed the four major families in one fell swoop, and enrich the national treasury that has bottomed out - the Nanjing government's private advance loans have reached 100 million Most of the 60 million yuan was borrowed from banks and businessmen. Through bailouts and currency reforms, these debts can be wiped out directly and a lot of money can be made.

When the four major families are rich, they will support Chiang Kai-shek more wholeheartedly; when the national treasury is rich, Chiang Kai-shek will be able to control the army and officials more firmly.

Money, money!

Lao Jiang only has money in his eyes now. He is driven crazy by money because he has to support his millions of troops. Historically, after making a lot of money from the currency reform, Chiang Kai-shek was still not satisfied and directly established the Agricultural Bank of China to raise military expenses. At this time, even Kong Xiangxi felt guilty. He was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would fail again, so he admonished: "The Agricultural Bank of China has issued so many debts, which is not in compliance with the regulations."

It is really difficult to be the Minister of Finance of the Nanjing government. No wonder Song Ziwen resigned from office again and again. Kong Xiangxi, who took over, was sweating on his forehead while making money. His heart almost couldn't bear Chiang Kai-shek's wanton behavior. If he didn't follow through and resign, he could only be regarded as awesome.

China's current silver crisis, in Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, is a good opportunity for him to get rid of the financial crisis.

As for the life and death of Sheng Dou Xiaomin, haha...

Of course, if the publicity campaign is done well, Chang Kaishen can also use the bailout and currency reform to greatly enhance his prestige and make the ignorant people grateful. The capitalists dare not say anything when they are suffering, and the common people even applaud them for being cheated.

Zhou Hexuan suddenly discovered that he seemed to be unable to do anything, and that Chiang Kai-shek had fooled the people of the whole country into it.

The only solution for now is to persuade Britain quickly and help earlier so as not to let China's economy collapse too completely and make the poor people feel a little better.

As for those domestic capitalists who have been cheated, Zhou Hexuan has no mercy. No one has a clean foundation these days. Even Zhou Hexuan would get involved and take advantage of the situation to benefit himself.

Mr. Zhou is not a saint.

Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Brother Song, if you have any good projects, please introduce them to me."

Seeing that Zhou Hexuan was willing to join the team, Song Ziwen was in a happy mood and said: "Guangdong Bank is about to be unable to survive and must be rectified and reorganized. Brother Mingcheng can get 3% of the shares. Jane's Nanyang Tobacco Company, Rong's Shenxin Company, Mingcheng Brother Mingcheng can also hold less than 3.5% of the shares. If Brother Mingcheng is interested in other flour, cotton yarn and other manufacturing factories, he can also choose a few for investment."

Damn, what a big deal. Whether it's Nanyang Tobacco or Shenxin Company, they are both leaders among national enterprises.

If the four major families want to annex these companies, they will definitely not be able to do so, but they will definitely invest heavily in them. Chiang Kai-shek wants to tie these big capitalists to his chariot. This is not only a financial consideration, but also brings a lot of political convenience. There is no doubt that as long as Chiang Kai-shek controls these enterprises, his rule in China will be more consolidated.

At this time, Zhou Hexuan was convinced that Song Ziwen's invitation to join the company must have come from Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, and he had even determined how many shares he would be given.

This can be regarded as a reward for Zhou Hexuan. After all, he helped build momentum in the United States and successfully brought Britain, the United States, and Japan into the game, which made it easier for Chiang Kai-shek to harvest capital at home.

Although he could make money, Zhou Hexuan still felt unhappy. He always felt that he had become Chiang Kai-shek's lackey. He has decided that he must convince the British side as soon as possible, even if he does not hesitate to give up some of his shares in British pharmaceutical companies, at least to add more trouble to Chiang Kai-shek.
