Japan's Zhengjin Bank is an important institution for economic aggression. It has also set up a branch in Fengtian, which is responsible for plundering the rich products of the three northeastern provinces and helping the Japanese government carry out economic aggression. In the past, several runs on Fengqin Bank were controlled by Zhengjin Bank. This time
Taro Nomura, the head of Zhengjin Bank, is as always paying close attention to the changes in the votes.
Dominating the Fengtian financial market has always been Nomura's dream, so as soon as he saw an opportunity, he was gearing up to do something big. At this moment, Miki suddenly found him.
During this period, Miki's life finally became more comfortable. Through his efforts, Russia finally began to vigorously purchase Japanese arms, opening up the Russian market and injecting a bit of vitality into Japan's booming industry.
Especially in order to offset the huge payment for goods, Britain and France provided a batch of important military technologies to Japan, which made the Japanese even more crazy. As a result, Miki became a hero of Japan and received domestic awards.
, is extremely popular among the Japanese in Fengtian.
Of course, they didn't know that this project, which seemed to have unlimited prospects, was destined to be a failure. In order to bribe Grand Duke Nicholas, the Japanese purchased 8 million bank bonds. Subsequently, they would need to spend more to bribe the Russians. When the Russians
After the revolution broke out, they were the ones crying.
"Mr. Miki, you are a busy man, why do you have time to come to my place?"
"Nomura-kun, I want to discuss the issue of voting with you. I think there is a big conspiracy here!"
"Conspiracy? Are you saying that Duan Zhigui deliberately emptied his reserves? I think it was completely caused by stupidity!"
Miki shook his head: "Mr. Nomura, of course I am not talking about Duan Zhigui, who is as stupid as a pig, but Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 27th Division. The Chinese people are usually in disarray. This demonstration was extremely fast and organized efficiently, and there was no major incident."
Unexpected, there must be someone behind it!"
Nomura listened to Miki's words expressionlessly. In fact, he and Miki were not from the same group, and they served different chaebols. Nomura looked down upon the pretentious Miki.
"Miki-kun, so what if it is Zhang Zuolin's conspiracy? He just wants to take the opportunity to squeeze out Duan Zhigui. The Chinese people are fighting among themselves. It is a good opportunity for us to completely defeat Feng Piao. The era of Japanese yen dominating Fengtian has arrived.
!”
"No! Mr. Nomura, you can't be so optimistic. I think Zhang Zuolin has a deeper conspiracy. This time he offered to hand over the management of the official bank to Chinese businessmen. I think this is a dangerous signal. Zhang Zuolin has already realized it.
The importance of currency issuance power, we are trying to master this power. Once Zhang Zuolin controls the official bank, his troops will have endless financial resources, which will be even more difficult to control!"
Nomura rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "Miki-kun, what advice do you have?"
"It's very simple. I hope Mr. Nomura can take the initiative to help Duan Zhigui keep his official bank account and prevent Zhang Zuolin from becoming more powerful. This is a dangerous person. He doesn't know military affairs, and he understands economics better. At least he has economics around him.
A genius. From the beginning of the North Market, to the Zongshe Party, and now to today's official bank, Zhang Zuolin has gradually brought the power of Fengtian into his control. If such a person controls Fengtian, it will definitely not be a blessing to the empire."
People often say that a long-term illness makes a doctor, Miki has suffered several losses in a row, and has begun to face Lao Zhang, and no longer regards him as a local warlord, but a real opponent, but obviously Nomura has not yet realized this!
He sneered and said: "Miki-kun, this is all your guess. Even if Zhang Zuolin really understands the importance of economy as you said, so what? Does he still have the ability to compete with the powerful Zhengjin Bank for financial resources? It's simply
Just like a joke, I can tell Miki-kun frankly that I am ready to use this opportunity to severely damage Feng Piao, and even get the official bank account of the Chinese people in my hands!"
Nomura is full of confidence. In order to crack down on the vouchers, Zhengjin Bank has been maintaining millions of dollars in its books. Now Zhang Tinglan has announced that it will suspend the exchange of vouchers for twenty days. Nomura can spread rumors everywhere, cause panic, and then use the black market to sell low prices.
Acquire more votes.
In fact, Zhang Tinglan's estimate was not bad at all. The Japanese were far more insidious and ruthless than imagined. After Nomura got the news immediately, he started to prepare.
"Nomura-kun, I hope you can think twice. Zhang Zuolin and his assistants always pay attention to making decisions before taking action. If they are not confident enough, they will not take over the vote. Any rash action will lead to serious failure!"
What Miki was worried about was that Nomura would do whatever it took to short-sell and gain wisdom. After suffering several dumb losses, Miki was very afraid of Zhang Zuolin.
"Miki-kun, where is your courage to promote cooperation between the empire and Russia?"
"Nomura-kun, if Zhang Zuolin has sufficient reserves, the run will be useless. Even if he cannot cope with the run, the official bank account is officially controlled by the Chinese people. It is even more difficult to get it. This kind of thankless thing, we
Why bother to do it!”
Nomura snorted coldly: "Miki-kun, you should focus on your trading work and not interfere with financial matters. I can teach you a lesson. If Zhang Zuolin is fully prepared, we will just use a pile of blank paper.
In exchange for real gold and silver, based on this, we can issue more banknotes. If we cannot cope with our runs, it means that the Chinese owe the empire a huge sum of money. Do you understand the nature of debt, debt is slavery!"
Borrowing between ordinary people may be for interest income, but loans between countries are not that simple. Creditors often do not want the other party to repay as soon as possible, just like the Boxer Indemnity. As long as one day is not paid back, the great powers will
This can be used as an excuse to control China's economic lifeline, especially international loans in later generations.
Nomura obviously also had this idea. As long as he has a large number of Fengtian votes and the official bank cannot cash them, he can use the power of the Japanese government to put huge pressure on Fengtian and take the opportunity to intervene in the official bank. It stands to reason that Nomura's plan
It's actually very thorough.
Japan has become one of the great powers and has too many advantages over the local government of Fengtian. It can be said that if Zhang Tinglan does not prepare enough backup, Zhengjin Bank will definitely be caught off guard.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan was discussing with Wang Yongjiang how to deal with it. Wang Yongjiang mentioned Daosheng Bank. Zhang Tinglan had a thought in his mind and finally had an idea.
"Mr. Tiegong, we have actually hit the nail on the head. The reserve fund does not necessarily need to be real gold and silver, as long as it has a stable value. For example, when the Bank of Communications issues currency, it uses foreign exchange as collateral."
"Idiot, what you said is right, but this method is very unsafe. It is tantamount to taking the initiative to hand over the handle to the great powers. Moreover, if Fengtian wants to use foreign currency as collateral, is there any other option besides Japanese yen?"
After the Russo-Japanese War, Fengtian was included in Japan's sphere of influence, and large-scale foreign borrowing would definitely not bypass Japan.
"It is true that there are none, but we are very knowledgeable about how to get the yen. Do we have to exchange it for real things? I don't think so. Aren't Russian bonds also very popular!"
When Wang Yongjiang heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, and his thoughts suddenly opened up. He pointed at Zhang Tinglan with his hand and said with a big smile: "I'd like to say that you really have a delicate heart. I'm afraid that something like this will happen."
Come and trick both Japan and Russia!"
"They bite dogs, let's eat meat and drink soup, what's wrong with that!"
"Yes, it's very good, but if you take it out rashly, the Japanese may become suspicious. I also thought of a way to fight fire with fire. I wonder if Zhuo Yan is interested in hearing it!"
"Sir, please clarify!"
"Let's make our own counterfeit coins and print some fake coins. If the Japanese dare to use the black market to absorb coins, then let these fake coins go out."
Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Tinglan smiled at each other. The two cunning figures quickly formulated two sets of action plans and held two trump cards in their hands. Zhang Tinglan was finally full of confidence in dealing with this crisis. If the little devil wants to play, the uncle will do it.
Have fun with you!
"Mr. Tiekou, the Russian side can just inform Fred. As for the issue of fraud, we should first take down the official bank account and replace it with reliable personnel!"
Zhang Tinglan randomly found Zhang Zuolin. Lao Zhang also had a resolute nature. He immediately dispatched a battalion of soldiers and asked Yuan Jinkai to accompany Zhang Tinglan to the Guanyin No.
Of course, just having soldiers is not enough. After all, these big-headed soldiers cannot figure out what is going on in the accounts. Zhang Tinglan also borrowed ten of the best accountants from Liu Shucheng and others. Everyone is very good at abacus. In addition, he
Two more foreigners were borrowed from Fred. They were also responsible for the financial work of Daosheng Bank and had rich experience.
Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang, and Yuan Jinkai led their troops and headed for the Guanyin No. upon arrival. After arriving, Zhang Tinglan immediately ordered the soldiers to take over the Guanyin No. and control all current accounts. At the same time, the accounting clerks and
Two foreign experts started the investigation work.
It is not appropriate to directly use force to take over the official bank account simply and crudely. However, Zhang Tinglan also knows that the ethics of Fengtian officials are almost all corruption-free, especially when guarding a money tree like the official bank account, no one is clean.
"Zhang Zhuoyan, do you want to rebel? It's true that the general asked Fengtian merchants to temporarily take charge of the official bank account, but he must also come up with a charter. How could you be so messy!" Wang Shuhan, who was in charge of the official bank account, saw this.
The soldier rushed in with a ferocious look, and his face suddenly turned livid. After all, he was the number one figure in Fengtian's financial system, and he still had a certain official authority.
"Director Wang, don't worry, I have no choice but to entrust the blood and sweat of millions of people in Fengtian to our hands, so we must be cautious!"
"The general has taken all the money away, what can I do?"
"Director Wang, we both work in the same circle. If it weren't for your problems, the official bank account would only have a reserve of more than one million yuan. It's a joke!" Wang Yongjiang exposed Wang Shuhan mercilessly.
Wang Shuhan's face suddenly turned pale. He also knew Wang Yongjiang's ability, and he was afraid that his method would not be able to hide it.
More than an hour later, the man in charge of accounting ran over with a large stack of account books and said breathlessly: "Master Zhang, I have never seen such a mess of accounts. I treat accounting as a child's play. The official bank account number is
