"The currencies of the U.S. and British governments use gold as collateral. Does the Republic of China government have a huge amount of gold?" Lu Ming asked confused.
"The government of the Republic of China is stupid. All it has are guns, but even if they have guns, they can't rob openly. The government wants to use US dollars as the anchor for banknote issuance, but the government doesn't have US dollars or pounds." Sheng Muyi is indeed very proficient in finance.
The process of circulation.
"Didn't they say that the government wanted to borrow US$100 million from the Bank of America to serve as an anchor for the issuance of banknotes?" Lu Ming suddenly thought about it.
A few months ago, when he first heard about the currency reform, Sheng Muyi seemed to have told him.
"The government wants to borrow US dollars, but the borrowed US dollars must be repaid after all. If you have 100 million US dollars or even 200 million US dollars, then you don't need to borrow them." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"So the government has set its sights on our Sheng family, right?" Lu Ming suddenly realized.
"Well, you are not stupid enough yet, and you understand now. In the current domestic financial layout, the Kongsong family and our Sheng family are at the top of the pyramid, and there are also alliances composed of many wealthy families represented by the Yan Xiaohui family. These
It’s the basic foundation, but the money of the Kong and Song families cannot be touched by the government, so they can only start with the Sheng family to dig into the capital of private consortiums.”
"Why can't the government touch the Kong and Song family's money?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
"The Kong-Song family is the starting point in the game between the government and local financial groups, and it is also equivalent to the collateral for Mr. Chiang to borrow money from us. Now that the currency reform is to be implemented, the Kong-Song family does not want to be the collateral for US dollars, and it is very likely to instigate Chiang.
Sir, you created an opportunity to short-sell the Sheng family and cut off a piece of meat from our Sheng family. Now you are the introduction to the medicine for that piece of meat."
"Ah, I've become a bait? I'm covered in iron and can't hit a few nails, right?" Lu Ming felt helpless. What the hell, he didn't expect that he would become a human flesh bun.
"If they can really do it, those elite families can make a small fortune, and the government can also take advantage of this opportunity to earn one to two billion U.S. dollars. In the blink of an eye, there will be an anchor for issuing banknotes, and there will be no need to borrow money from the U.S. government.
Yes. Can one kill multiple birds with one stone?" Sheng Muyi sneered.
"I'm just asking casually, does our Sheng family really have so much meat that they can carve it up?" Lu Ming was surprised.
"Let's put it this way, the background of our Sheng family is beyond your imagination. Even I don't know it, but the part I know is enough to drive them crazy. Although our Sheng family has a lot of meat, we will not let them
If you cut off a piece of it, they won't even get a hair on it." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
Lu Ming felt that her smile was a little sinister, but he felt at ease.
"This is how I judged it. First, the two major families of Kong and Song joined forces with the financial consortium to launch a short-selling campaign against our Sheng family. Then the Japanese consortium joined in, hoping to make a huge profit. Don't look at Japan's arrogance and unreasonable treatment of us.
In fact, they are so poor that they themselves are almost too poor to take the blame, so of course they will not let go of such a good opportunity."
Based on the fluctuations in securities transactions in the past few days, Sheng Muyi judged the inflow of domestic funds and foreign funds in batches and came to the above conclusion.
"The domestic financial consortium has joined forces with the Japanese consortium. Isn't this traitorous?" Lu Ming said angrily.
"It's irrational for you to say that. Capital has no national boundaries. The only purpose of capital is to pursue more profits. It does not belong to any country, but only to the people or consortiums that own it. It's just like when people go to higher places, water
It's like flowing to a lower place. You can't say that the water itself has the problem of hating the poor and loving the rich."
"Well, the water in China is the same as the water in Japan. They flow according to their own rules and not according to human will." Lu Ming said to himself.
"Yes, this is like a head that has read books." Sheng Muyi praised.
"Then what does all this have to do with catching me?" Lu Ming still couldn't understand the connection.
"You are the agent of Sheng's family. Everyone thinks that you are the brand of Sheng's family. If the government arrests you, it will send a signal. Then those financial consortiums will think that Sheng's family will be suppressed by the government with all its strength and even fall into ruin. Isn't this right?
When the wall fell and everyone pushed, was it the best opportunity for everyone to share the meat? So they did not hesitate to start shorting our Sheng family."
"Judging from the current situation, do they think they have a chance of winning?" Lu Ming said.
"They knew that they could not win this battle with their own financial resources, so they started various public opinion wars in newspapers, creating the illusion that the Sheng family was about to die. Then the Japanese consortium, as well as some local consortiums such as the United States and the United Kingdom, also began to follow suit.
, they all pounced towards our Sheng family like evil wolves." Sheng Muyi said.
"The evil wolf smelled the smell of blood in the air. Regardless of whether there was a trap under its feet, it rushed towards him, ready to drink blood and eat meat." Lu Ming smelled the smell again.
"Well, it's coming so fiercely, I'm afraid I'll miss the chance to have a big meal." Sheng Muyi sneered.
"Then can we withstand it?" After hearing Mu Yi's words, Lu Ming became a little worried again.
"You should use affirmative sentences, not questions, and don't have doubts about Sheng at any time." Sheng Muyi waved her hand and said with great confidence.
"No wonder Old Man Sheng is not anxious at all. I was deposited in Nanjing like a deposit to confuse my opponent." Lu Ming felt that participating in this financial war with his own money was also a special life experience.
"You won't suffer a loss if you stay in Nanjing for a few more days. In fact, they have been planning to short-sell our Sheng family for a long time, but they have never found the opportunity. Just now this arms case has appeared, and they have a reason to arrest you, and then
It triggered this financial war." Sheng Muyi added following Lu Ming's words.
"Are you saying that the alliance between the domestic financial consortium and the Japanese consortium has been planned for a long time?" Lu Ming asked.
"Of course, without the Japanese consortium joining in, how could the domestic financial consortium dare to have such big ambitions? But are the Japanese necessarily reliable?" Sheng Muyi said disdainfully.
"A bunch of traitors and scum." Lu Ming cursed angrily.
"Don't think so, little brother, the war on the financial battlefield does not recognize friends or relatives. As long as there is money to be made, capital will never look back. There are no political factors involved here."
Sheng Muyi has a purely business thinking and has her own logic, but she also has intolerance.
Lu Ming shook his head. He could not accept this view. He believed that no matter at any time and no matter what happened, the Japanese always had a conspiracy against China, and it was definitely not as simple as making some money.
Of course, cooperating with the Japanese to deal with the Chinese is an act of betrayal, and this issue needs no further discussion.
Lu Ming appreciated Sheng Youde's attitude: He would not cooperate with the Japanese, and he would not give me any money.
"How long will this financial war last?" Lu Ming asked.
He had to care about this issue, because it was likely to be related to how long he would be detained here.
"It's hard to say, you have to be patient." Sheng Muyi looked at him with some sympathy.
"You won't lock me here for a year and a half, right?" Lu Ming's heart felt a little cold.
"That's not the case, but the result won't be available within a few days." Sheng Muyi said.
"Okay, I'll just cultivate myself here." Lu Ming said with a helpless smile.
"By the way, this is 20,000 yuan. What your father gave you should be enough for you to spend here." Sheng Muyi opened the suitcase she brought and took out a stack of banknotes from it.
"No, I brought enough money. You just returned the money to Liao Zhengwen. There should be some left," Lu Ming said.
"Take it if it's given to you, and you'll be jailed here and used as your salary as a meat ticket." After Sheng Muyi finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.
"I didn't expect that I would be in a wealthy prison, and my salary would have doubled several times." Lu Ming accepted it with a bad smile.
"Father wanted to give you more, but I stopped him. I can't spoil you. Just enough is enough." Sheng Muyi said, pretending to be a big sister.
"Well, is there such a possibility that we won the financial war, but the government and the financial consortium suffered a loss, and in order to vent their anger, they continued to frame me or kill me?" Lu Ming suddenly thought of this,
My heart skipped a beat.
"It's very possible. The money just now may be the money for selling one's life." Mu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Sister, let's be serious." Lu Ming said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, silly brother, such a day will never happen. Don't worry, just stay here. If there was any danger, my father would have used various methods to get you back. Besides, the US government would still protect you."
It's yours, no one will dare to touch you casually." Sheng Muyi said and pinched his cheek again.
