The trip to Sichuan left Zhang Shusheng with many emotions. Both the anxiety of returning home and the cruelty of reality.
Although my hometown in Sichuan in my memory is relatively poor, the land of Bashu at this time can be described as more than just poverty. It is not an exaggeration to describe the land full of hungry people and the devastation of life. The warlords fought every year and imposed excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Stronger than other southwestern provinces, it seems to be a land of fertile land and self-sufficiency. In fact, it can't even drink gruel. After paying rent and taxes, what is left is just a little bit of chaff, which can't even be called food.
superior.
At a vigorous public trial held in Chengdu, people from all walks of life came on stage to conduct a public trial against the defeated cruel warlords, corrupt officials, and good capitalists who hoarded money. As before, Zhang Shusheng did not
If you are soft-hearted to those defeated warlords, you will not be able to escape what kind of trial you should accept. It does not mean that you will be fine if you lose. The old and new accounts must be settled by yourself. It is not that you are sorry for Zhang Shusheng, but that you are sorry for the people.
Yes, it must be paid back.
In addition to settling old accounts involving warlords, evil officials and criminals, social reform and rural reform, the first thing the new "government" established also included social assistance. The first batch of 100,000 tons of rice and wheat were shipped from Yunnan and Guizhou respectively.
Entering the land of Bashu and adopting new seeds, modern fertilizers and modern planting methods, the grain output of the three southwestern provinces has increased significantly in the second five-year period.
A surplus was achieved in the 2016 plan, and it is expected that a total of 300,000 tons of rice will enter Bashu in batches to provide emergency relief to the poor people who were unable to eat in 1929. Of course, the autumn emergency organized by the grassroots "government"
Wheat planting, sweet potato planting, and vegetable planting are also being carried out to ensure a healthy harvest in the coming year.[
After returning to Kunming, more than two months later, Zhang Shusheng called for Liu Dengke.
"I'm admitted, sit down." "Director, this is the financial report you want."
Zhang Shusheng roughly flipped through it. It was a simple financial report that he asked Liu Dengke, the Finance Minister of the Southwest Government, to prepare. The main purpose was to understand the financial situation of Southwest.
"Our current financial situation is basically normal. This is mainly due to the gradual improvement of the new financial system. The Southwest People's Bank has also achieved more than expected achievements in exercising its monetary functions. In Shusheng Company and Xinhe Industrial
Under the joint borrowing of the two companies, the performance of the new currency is very stable..."
"If Shusheng Company withdraws this gold inventory now, will it have an impact on the newly established People's Bank of China?" Liu Dengke's words were easy to understand, and Zhang Shusheng, a non-economic professional, could also listen to it thoroughly. Southwest Like
There are still too few economic talents like Liu Dengke. Li Chunyang, who serves as the deputy manager of Pan American Ken International in the United States, can compete with him, but one is more focused on macroeconomic control, and the other is more focused on capital market operations.
If Liu Dengke grew up from an accounting talent to a macroeconomic talent step by step, Li Chunyang was a talent that Zhang Shusheng selected and cultivated in his early years.
"Under normal circumstances, it will not have much impact. First of all, gold is only the last means of payment for banks, used to stabilize the currency value. To put it simply, an open or very immature monetary system will not
Its dependence is very high. The value of currency is also reflected in the credit of the government, a stable political environment, and a sustainable economic environment.
, can also promote people's confidence in currency. Moreover, in the past two years, our southwest "government" has introduced a ban on the direct circulation of gold and silver and other precious metals, and has stored a considerable amount of precious metals. If Shusheng Company will use this amount
I think it’s okay to withdraw the deposit and use it for other purposes. Of course, in the event of an emergency, the general manager must be prepared to raise rescue funds.”
"Okay, I will notify Laixi to find you to deal with the deposit issue." It's not that Zhang Shusheng doesn't have financial problems, it's just that the most serious world economic crisis in a century is about to begin, and it does require the use of an extremely large amount of funds.
Come to pick up the leaks, and if circumstances permit, the huge sum of money placed in the bank as a deposit will also be used.
"Chief, this is just analyzed, the US stock market report yesterday, as well as the stock market trend line chart for the last week and month."
Zhu Zizhen was a graduate of Southwest University in 1920, and was regarded as an early top student in economics at Southwest University. After graduating from her undergraduate degree, she worked as a lecturer in international finance at Southwest University for one year, while studying for the newly launched graduate program. In two years, she passed
He graduated with excellent results in the joint examination of several well-known Western economists at Southwest University. It can be said that he has done considerable research on economic issues in China and the West. At the end of 1927, he entered the Southwest "Government" and became the "Government"
One of the consultants of the Economic Advisory Group.
Opening the slide, Zhu Zizhen began to comment on the latest changes in the U.S. stock market from a professional perspective with a simple narrative.
Letting experts solve problems has always been Zhang Shusheng's approach. He is not omnipotent and can only play a role at critical moments.
"Overall, the trend is good." Zhang Shusheng glanced at the calendar on the table inadvertently. Today is September 27, 1929, less than a month before the stock market crash.
In connection with some previous medium and large historical events, the shadow of the butterfly effect flashed, so he would never wait for the news of the US stock market crash. During the previous securities storm that spread throughout the West, he not only ordered Li Chunyang to mobilize
A large amount of Pan American Ken International's reserved funds were invested in the stock market, and like other speculative capitalists, they secretly acquired some factories at low prices, made large-scale loans from major banks, and then entered the stock market through loans. In just two years,
As money rolled in, the U.S. stocks controlled by Zhang Shusheng through various channels had reached an appalling level.
“What is the total value of our current holdings of U.S. equities?”
"Three days ago, the total value of stocks was $9.4 billion."
Although Zhu Zizhen did not go to the United States to participate in the stock market operation in person, he was still fully involved in the entire process. He and Li Chunyang, one domestic and one foreign, cooperated with each other to carry out the matter without leakage.
.
The two of them are rare yellow geniuses in the economic field, and they also feel frightened during the operation. If it were not for Zhang Shusheng's forced order, they would not dare to implement such a huge capital operation plan.
Regarding the world financial market, especially the U.S. stock market, the mainstream view in the entire West is optimistic and bullish. This has led to speculators going crazy, spending all their money to borrow loans from banks, and then entering the stock market to buy
stock.[
The two people also believe that the stock market in the West will definitely rise for a period of time, but the current situation is somewhat dangerous. The entire U.S. stock market has shown a pathological development, and judging from the economic intelligence sent back by intelligence personnel
, the U.S. economy already has a latent crisis.
Therefore, they recommend investing in speculation capital, but they believe that investment should not be too large to avoid excessive losses.
However, Zhang Shusheng believed at that time that there was still more than a year before the stock market crash, and the butterfly effect should not be that huge. Moreover, based on the stock market analysis conducted by Dream Machine, the crash should be roughly half a month to a month earlier. At that time,
The stock index is still far from the value of a crash in later generations.
During the period, Zhang Shusheng told the two of them a simple example. Assume that the total assets, savings and loans are 1,000 yuan. After entering the stock market, the market value rises to 5,000 yuan. Then, he will feel that he is rich and will go
Pay in installments to buy new products. Assuming the product price is 1,500 yuan, then it seems that there is still 3,500 yuan of wealth. In fact, this number is only based on the rising stock price.
Once it collapses, his actual wealth may not even be 1,000 yuan. Then, due to installment purchases, bank debts will eventually lead to debt.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons for the economic crisis. Blind expansion of production, lack of powerful products, and market saturation are also reasons.
After making a simple analysis for the two of them on the inevitable coming of the economic crisis, the three of them also reached a consensus that they should take advantage of the opportunity to enter the stock market, buy low and buy high, and choose the opportunity to get out.
It can be said that Zhang Shusheng's actions are very big. Unlike those capitalists, they have to wait until they are bullish for a period of time before increasing their investment. After repeated losses, it is not as much as Zhang Shusheng's investment at one time.
By registering a leather bag company, acquiring factories, etc., Zhang Shusheng obtained a huge loan from the bank. In more than a year, the entire stock market capital has reached an astronomical figure of nearly one billion US dollars.
Now, even Zhu Zizhen couldn't sleep, for fear that someone would wake her up during the night, for fear that the artificially high stock market would suddenly collapse.
"What do you think?" Zhang Shusheng asked Zhu Zizhen the question. He thought the current harvest was enough. Although the total stock value of US$1 billion is not as good as the work of some large consortiums or capital tycoons behind the scenes, as a
As part of the economic crisis plan, I also made money after deducting the start-up capital.
"I think we can sell it. By selling these stocks in installments, we can escape safely." Zhu Zizhen suppressed her excitement and analyzed: "According to the plan, in Wall Street's Glory Operation, we will sell some overvalued factories
When the company pays off its debts to the bank, only a small part of the loan needs to be repaid. After deducting costs and capital losses, our actual surplus funds will reach 600 million."
"It's still a little bit missing." Zhang Shusheng frowned slightly. If he wants to gain absolutely enough benefits in this global economic crisis storm, he must not shrink back. He must concentrate his superior funds and attack decisively. "October 1st is a day
On a good day, let's sell off the stocks we hold in an orderly manner. It doesn't matter who triggers this economic crisis. As for the bank's debt, let's wait until after the disaster."
His meaning is very simple. If the bank has not collapsed, I will definitely pay back the debts that need to be paid.
"Yes, Chief." Zhu Zizhen was very excited when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Chief had such a method. Instead of waiting for the expected stock market crash, it would be better to create it with her own hands. If Zhu Zizhen had doubts about the coming super economic crisis before,
Once these nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars of stocks are sold, it is very likely to become the trigger for a stock market crash.
Zhang Shusheng stopped Zhu Zizhen who was about to go out and said, "Zizhen, please prepare yourself and go to the United States next month to assist Chunyang in handling the second step of this plan."
