Chapter 135 'Silver Purchase Act'

Thanks to the starhouse brothers for the 10,000 starting coin reward. This is already the fifth helmsman. Brothers support me. Of course I have to work harder to write it. This excessive chapter ends today, and tomorrow another big "gaochao" will be

start.

Thanks to Brother Envision§Future for the reward.

Thanks to Dark World for watching..., ‘Little Fire’, ~Ya~, starhouse and other brothers for their monthly support.

Han Peacock couldn't go out even though he was watching, so he simply stopped leaving just to watch the excitement.

As soon as Bai Xiaoyi heard this mean voice, he immediately started to have a headache.

Yue Muling got angry when he heard this: "Luo Mingming, are you free with nothing to do? What does it have to do with you whether we pay the rent or not?"

At this time, a professional woman in a white shirt, black short skirt, and high heels appeared behind Roshan. This was definitely Luo Mingming.

Luo Mingming looked at Yue Muling and sneered: "What? If you don't have money, move away. If you don't want to live on the street, put aside your pride and find a way to make money."

"Even if we want to make money, we won't go to your insurance company. Your conscience is dark? Are you trying to make people buy useless insurance? Those people who have lost their conscience will one day be punished.

"Yue Lingshan said with a hot temper.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore. Brother Ma, please come in and talk. Luo Mingming, you have nothing to do here, so you should leave! We will not pimp your insurance company, please don't disturb us in the future." Bai

Xiao Yi said to Luo Mingming angrily.

Han Peacock saw that the excitement was gone and wanted to leave. As soon as he walked around the meat mountain, he was held by a soft little hand.

Han Peacock turned around and saw Bai Xiaoyi: "What? Is there anything else?"

"Boss Han, can you wait a moment? You saw our strength just now. Maybe there is something else you forgot to ask us to do. Why don't you think about it again?" Bai Xiaoyi said with a pleading face.

"Is there anything else I need your help with? No, you are an information consulting company. Apart from providing me with some information, you can't do anything else, right?" Han Kongque looked at Bai Xiaoyi in a funny way.

Bai Xiaoyi had no choice. They started their own business after graduating from school. The plan was very good at that time, and it didn't cost much to do information consulting. But they had no foundation, so even if they were capable, they didn't get much business.

After a year like this, the rent, water, electricity, office expenses, etc. all added up. Their last savings have been exhausted, and now they can only barely support themselves.

Today they were chased by the landlord, and they were at the end of their rope. Fortunately, Han Peacock came today and made them a fortune, which also gave them hope. They saw the hope of persevering.

"Do you have other things that need help? You can leave it to us. If you don't tell us, how do you know we can't do it? You just saw our capabilities."

Bai Xiaoyi didn't seem to hear Han Kongque's rejection, but directly listened to the news he wanted to hear. Han Kongque really wanted to find someone to help! Thank God and the Queen Mother. Bai Xiaoyi prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky,

Pulling the Korean peacock.

"I need someone to help me process the information you provided. Can you do this too?" Han Peacock looked at the beauty pulling him funny.

Bai Xiaoyi said: "If you can do it, why don't you just process information? Yue Muling, your job is here. Just do whatever Boss Han asks you to do. Be obedient and wait until the elder sister buys you delicious food in the evening."

"Sister, what are you asking me to do? I have to be obedient." Yue Muling said with an unhappy look.

"This girl is not happy. I don't even know how to grasp the opportunity to get in touch with the big boss. Don't mind, Boss Han. This girl is smart and obedient. I'm sure she will do whatever you ask her to do." Bai Xiaoyi said with a dogged face.

Han Peacock was speechless. He watched Yue Muling come over with a face full of reluctance, and Han Peacock's arm was still being held by Bai Xiaoyi. He could only helplessly walk into the gossip company again.

Luo Mingming, who was outside the door, was full of disbelief: "Are you guys planning to sell your bodies? You are really bitches. Letting you be an insurance broker is like pulling out your skin, but now you are doing this shamelessly.

things."

"Are we willing to let you take care of it? Selling oneself means earning a living based on one's ability. We don't want to cheat with you. You'd better go wherever you like. We don't have time to talk to you now." Bai Xiaoyi handed Han Peacock over.

After grabbing Yue Muling, he turned around and pushed Luo Mingming out and closed the door of the company.

"Brother Ma, please wait a moment. We have a big business deal here that is about to be finalized. After the negotiation, we will have money to rent your house. Don't worry, this gentleman just gave you a deposit. The deposit is only fifteen thousand, which is enough for you.

The rent is paid." Bai Xiao also finished dealing with the foreign enemies and immediately began to deal with the meat mountain.

"Big business?" Ma Roushan was already dazzled by Bai Xiaoyi's actions.

Bai Xiaoyi looked at Han Peacock with bright eyes and said: "Yes, big business, Yue Muling, why are you standing here stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and serve Mr. Han."

Han Kongque was helpless: "Ms. Yue, you should be clear about the information you just provided me. Then take a look at this information. Through this, you can analyze for me where these ships are most likely to sink."

When Yue Muling began to look through the information, Han Kongque said again: "From these information, you can find out the missing ships in the records of Japanese merchant ships departing from Qinhuangdao from 1934 to 1936, and combine these two years.

Meteorological and water pattern data are used to find the possible locations where these sunken ships sank. Of course, as long as there is a general inference, it will be enough."

With such a simple information, Han Kongque did not allow Yue Muling to deduce accurate information. If the location of a sunken ship can be roughly determined, then he should be careful to verify it.

However, at this time, it is targeted. At this time, if we search for all the information about the sunken ship in detail, we will get more information, and the information that can be inferred will naturally be more accurate.

"This is..." Yue Muling looked at Han Peacock with strange eyes.

"What? What is this? Can't you do it?" Bai Xiaoyi became nervous when she saw Yue Muling's expression. If this business didn't last long, they would really have no money to pay the rent.

Yue Muling looked at Han Peacock strangely and said, "Mr. Han wants to hunt for treasure? But with this analysis, don't you think it's like finding a needle in a haystack?"

Han Peacock said with a smile: "With the records of shipwrecks, it shows that these ships did indeed sink, but no trace of them has been found yet. This gives me the opportunity to compare the ocean currents on the ship's route based on the weather conditions at the time.

Given the situation, it shouldn’t be difficult to analyze some valuable information.”

"The idea is good, but the information you provided is incomplete and it is too difficult to analyze. Moreover, the results of the analysis will not be too accurate. Even if you are right, it will take time and money to salvage the sunken ship. There is no guarantee that the sunken ship will be recovered."

It's valuable." Yue Muling quickly analyzed the loopholes in Han Peacock's plan.

Han Kongque was not unhappy after hearing this, but rather a little excited: "It seems that you are really good at analysis. What I asked you to do naturally has my own reasons. You first analyze these ships to see which one can be locked by you."

sunk position."

Yue Muling thought for a while and said: "The information is incomplete. You should at least provide the approximate sinking time of these ships, their destination at that time, and their frequent routes. Only in this way can we analyze the possibility of it based on the weather conditions and ocean conditions at the time."

Sunken site."

Han Kongque smiled and said nothing more. If he had obtained all the information he needed, would he still need Yue Muling to analyze it?

Whose does the data analyzed like that belong to?

Bai Xiaoyi also saw the information provided by Han Peacock at this time: "Is this a ship that was smuggled through the port of Qinhuangdao when Japan occupied Qinhuangdao during World War II?"

Yue Muling said: "By the way, from 34 to 36. These two years should be the period of the US Silver Act. During this period, the ships shipped to the United States should be smuggled in silver."

In November 1932, U.S. President Roosevelt came to power and began to implement the "New Deal" to save the U.S. economy, one of which was to raise the price of silver.

By June 1934, when all countries around the world were struggling with the economic crisis, the United States passed a "Silver Purchase Act" to promote the appreciation of silver, which severely damaged the Chinese economy across the ocean and pushed China to the brink of collapse.

In May 1933, the U.S. Congress passed the Agricultural Relief Amendment Act, which stipulated that the president had the power to dispose of silver. In December, the United States began to purchase newly produced domestic silver. In June of the following year, it passed the Silver Purchase Act to purchase silver in domestic and foreign markets.

Extensive acquisition of silver.

As a result, world silver prices skyrocketed. The market price of silver in New York rose from 4.5 cents an ounce in June 1934 to 5.4 cents in December, and then to 7.4 cents the following year!

The most direct impact of the "Silver Purchase Act" on China's economy was the outflow of silver. Because silver in China was cheap, Chinese and foreign businessmen shipped large quantities of silver dollars to London and sold them in New York to make huge profits.

The Nanjing and Beijing governments panicked and promulgated various measures to restrict the outflow of silver, but they could not stop it at all.

China was originally a semi-colonial country, and its silver was mainly controlled by foreign banks. The Nationalist government was unable to interfere at all.

From 1934 to 1936, China lost approximately 64,531 ounces of silver, equivalent to approximately 1.29 billion yuan.

The Japanese government took advantage of the situation and smuggled large amounts of silver out of the country. In the first nine months of 1935 alone, 144 million taels of silver were shipped out.

In the words of the U.S. State Department: “We have drained China of all its money.”

Many banks had to declare liquidation or collapse due to the run on silver.

When the silver trend passed, China was forced to abandon the silver standard that had been used for nearly 400 years since the Ming Dynasty and implement "legal currency reform". It no longer used silver dollars as currency and switched to banknotes, which continues to this day.

From the perspective of the United States, it is encouraging Japan's power and seriously damaging the interests of the United States in China, including the interests of the Silver Group.

For a long time, the American silver group has been worried that China will cancel the silver standard, leading to a further reduction in global silver demand. However, it was precisely the "Silver Purchase Act" that they tried so hard to fiddle with that finally forced China to abandon the silver standard. This is really a

What a huge irony.

Han Kongque's purpose was to find a treasure ship that was escorting silver, and it was a treasure ship that sank and disappeared off the coast of China.

These treasure ships have small targets and weak influence. If operated properly, they are the most easily captured treasure ships.

At that time, Japan's shipbuilding technology was not strong in resisting wind and waves. As long as it encountered some big waves, it might sink.
