Chapter 39 Shorting Treasury Bonds
The eldest brother Qin Ying was in a hurry and spoke so loudly that the sister-in-law sitting in the living room came over to ask about the situation.
The eldest brother also realized that he had lost his temper and told his sister-in-law with a smile that nothing happened to the two brothers. Then he asked the sister-in-law, who was still a little suspicious, to leave the study.
Qin Chuan helped his elder brother Qin Ying sit down and said softly, "Brother, do you have today's "Declaration" here?"
The elder brother reached out and rummaged through a stack of newspapers on the desk to find the "Declaration" and handed it to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan pointed to a piece of news on the front page and said, "Brother, have you seen this news? Marshal Zhang flew to Luoyang and presented to the old man, hoping to release the Seven Gentlemen of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Association, and at the same time asked the old man to go to Xi'an to give instructions."<
/p>
Qin Ying nodded and said doubtfully, "I have read this news, but what does this have to do with your loan of such a large amount?"
Qin Chuan looked at his elder brother Qin Ying and said softly, "Brother, if you often read the newspaper, you should still remember that in October, Marshal Zhang made two suggestions to the old man in Xi'an and Luoyang, asking for a war of resistance against Japan, right?"
Qin Ying nodded to indicate that he remembered this incident, and Qin Chuan added, "Look, during this trip to Luoyang, are there any reports that Marshal Zhang continued to demand a war of resistance against Japan?"
Seeing Qin Ying's thoughtful look, Qin Chuan leaned in front of Qin Ying and whispered, "I heard that the two of them had a big quarrel during the two meetings in October."
"Also, I also heard that Jiang Xiongfeng, the head of the Northwest District of the Second Division, reported secretly last month that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were mentally unstable. There were even rumors that Marshal Zhang had secret contacts with HD."
Before Qin Chuan finished speaking, Qin Ying's face changed color and he asked hurriedly, "Is your news accurate? Also, your Director Dai will not fail to report this news when he gets it, right?"
Regarding Qin Ying's question, Qin Chuan had already thought of a countermeasure and said after thinking, "Shao Shuai Zhang and the old man had two quarrels about the war of resistance in October. This news is absolutely accurate. Regarding Jiang Xiongfeng's secret report, I just heard it from others.
Rumors cannot be guaranteed to be accurate."
Although later generations of Qin Chuan had read relevant information and knew that Jiang Xiongfeng's secret report was absolutely true and accurate, their director Dai naturally did not dare to conceal it. It is said that he immediately flew to Luoyang to meet with the old man to report the matter.
But this matter concerns Marshal Zhang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Republic of China. This must be top secret. Even the top officials of the Second Division may not know it. It is incredible that Qin Chuan can hear the rumors. Qin Chuan is deliberately vague. This is because
I have left a foreshadowing here in case anyone inquires in the future.
"As for whether the director reported it, I haven't heard anything, but I think no one would dare to hide such a big thing and not report it."
Qin Chuan decided to keep the story short. If he explained too much, he might make his elder brother suspicious.
"This time, it is said that the old man has made preparations and decided not to use the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army to encircle and suppress HD. He has made up his mind to transfer the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army away from Shaanxi, and is preparing to appoint Jiang Dingwen as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression.
Wei Lihuang is the commander-in-chief of the border area encirclement and suppression campaign in the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shaanxi and Suining. However, Marshal Zhang is uncharacteristic of himself this time and never mentions the imminent war of resistance. Do you think there is no problem in this?"
Regarding the appointment of Jiang Dingwen and Wei Lihuang, this is absolutely true and has happened in history, so Qin Chuan can definitely tell it.
Regardless of whether the rumors Qinchuan received were credible, it was indeed a bit strange that Marshal Zhang did not mention the resistance against Japan during his trip to Luoyang. Qinchuan's subtext was that there might be changes in the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army.<
/p>
In addition, the appointment of Jiang Dingwen and Wei Lihuang is extremely important news.
Qin Ying took a deep breath and decided to end the conversation as soon as possible. He had important things to do right away.
Qin Ying showed a puzzled look and asked impatiently, "These are all national events and have nothing to do with you or me. Tell me, what does this have to do with your loan?"
Qin Chuan saw what his elder brother Qin Ying was thinking and said hurriedly, "Of course it matters. This money, plus the money in my account, already amounts to more than 200,000. I plan to use this money to short public bonds."

“Short Treasury Bonds?”
Qin Chuan's words made his eldest brother Qin Ying look surprised, "Kuanzi, have you ever thought about it. If what you just said comes true, the public debt will naturally fall. But if it doesn't, you will lose all your money this time."
Qin Chuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Even if I lose everything, it's not a big deal. Not to mention that my monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan is just the royalties from the second edition of my book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
There are thirty to forty thousand, and Manager Liu from the Commercial Press told me that they even want to print a third edition."
"And if it comes true, the benefits will definitely be huge. Once the war breaks out, no matter whether you leave Shanghai or not, my sister-in-law and my nephew must leave. I think it is very suitable to go to the United States. What if you don't have money?"
It can be done. If it succeeds this time, the two of them, including you in the United States, will have no worries about food and clothing, and I will feel relieved."
Hearing what Qin Chuan said, the eldest brother Qin Ying couldn't help but get hot-eyed. He didn't expect that his younger brother would take such a big risk for the sake of their family.
Qin Chuan then said seriously, "Since losing the Northeast, Marshal Zhang has been under great pressure. Not only the Northeasterners in exile in the pass, but also the whole country has criticized him for losing the Northeast. This is also true within the Northeast Army. If he does not resist the war, his subordinates will
They will all be separated from him, and he will become a loner. If we transfer them away from Shaanxi this time, I am afraid that the Northeast Army will be dispersed, so I decided to take a gamble this time."
"Brother, my identity makes it inconvenient for me to buy and sell public bonds, especially short-selling public bonds. Therefore, I want to write a letter of authorization so that you can have the right to use the money in my account. Then you'd better go through a foreign bank or company.
, help me short public bonds, so you don’t have to come forward, this is the safest way.”
After drinking two bottles of beer, Qin Chuan had been talking to his elder brother Qin Ying for more than two hours. Everything was arranged. The news he wanted to send to HD was also revealed. He just excused himself as a little tired today and hurriedly
