While Fujiwara and others were running anxiously, there was also a lot of excitement outside. Affected by Lan Weihao's transfer of silver, the price of silver plummeted as soon as the market opened.
However, some people's troubles are other people's joy. Various types of trading products priced in silver dollars have skyrocketed all the way.
The speculators speculating on these trading products were laughing their heads off. Many people wanted to buy firecrackers to celebrate, but were stopped by patrolmen, who were worried about overstimulating other people.
Although their profit, if calculated in foreign currency, is nothing, they did get more silver dollars, and they also spent silver dollars domestically. The price changes of other things are not as rapid as those of these investment products. Calculated
It's still profitable.
As the news of the silver robbery spread widely, the price of silver took another hit and plummeted again. As for the speculators who were deeply trapped in Lan Weihao, they almost fell into despair.
Especially when it was reported that the Japanese were preparing to break the contract, many people who didn't know what was going on were wailing, and they even cursed the intelligence agency regardless.
However, some news is slowly spreading, and a new storm has been quietly brewing unknowingly.
"Gentlemen, it's so early and you're already drinking?" Thin Monkey rushed to a few people gathered together at a bar.
This is a bar that has become popular recently. It is a bar where you add lots of messy things to the wine and then drink it. It is said that it came from Nanjing, and it is quite popular.
Of course, the real bar is not the one in front of you. This is a small shop on the street, a coffin room. There is a table inside, and people are shaking the wine inside, while people are standing outside drinking.
In the past, speculation was very popular, and many people liked to spend it randomly after making some money. However, many people were reluctant to go straight to live and drink, so this kind of simple decoration could be opened, and many small shops with simple decorations were opened.
There is basically no bartending skills, just add some ice, lemon, mint, or even salt to the wine, or mix some fruit wine, foreign wine, white wine, etc. to drink together.
Skinny Monkey doesn't like drinking very much, or he doesn't like drinking, but he often has to drink some. Compared with the white wine that irritates the throat, this mixed with various things is easier to stomach.
However, he heard that real bars served very good drinks, played music, had a dance floor for dancing, and had seating. He had heard people bragging about it, but he couldn't get into a place like that.
"What's your name? From now on! I'm afraid we are far inferior to you!" Each of us drank a glass of wine and looked back at the thin monkey who was already in a trance.
"That's right! You kept quiet and actually bought a house in the concession. From now on, it will be our turn to eat and drink with you!" Another one also spoke slightly drunkenly.
"What! That was the money someone gave me for demolishing my old house, and I bought it on the edge of the concession. I walked out of the city in a few steps. Now I am so poor that I am looking for someone to eat for me all day long."
"Bullshit!" Another person rolled his eyes at him and said: "How much is your old house worth? You added at least two thousand to your family by buying that house. Your dad is an honest man, so he definitely can't save this money. It must be
I don’t know how you saved so much.”
"You guys buy me two drinks, and I'll tell you some news, and I promise you won't lose anything!" Thin Monkey's eyes rolled around and he spoke. He didn't want to talk too much about his own affairs.
"What other news can there be? The intelligence department of Niang Xipi actually robbed the money, and the Japanese even reported that they were going to break the contract. Everything we have is turned into waste paper. This time! All we need is our underwear.
It’s paid for.”
"Just say please or not!" Thin Monkey didn't respond to this, he only asked if he could take it, looking extremely confident.
The man who opened his mouth wanted to say something, but was stopped by another person. The other person hesitated for a moment, but still asked the bartender behind the bar to order a good drink for Slim Monkey.
"Actually, we can't blame the Intelligence Bureau for this matter. The money that was mortgaged no longer belongs to us. Could it be that you still want to pay back the money to redeem it..."
The thin monkey kept talking, and after changing the explanations he heard from Yuan Liu, he told these people who didn't know what was going on.
Several people were sober after listening to it, but they still couldn't help but sigh. Isn't that waste paper? However, one of them figured out something about it.
"So, it's a good thing that the Japanese broke the contract. At least we don't have to pay for it?" The person who was thinking about it spoke up, but he always felt that something was wrong.
"What a beautiful thought! This news is probably released by the Japanese on purpose, hoping that people who don't know the inside story will jump out and object, and then let us pay back the money.
Only by paying back the money can people recover some of their capital. Otherwise, if the money is robbed and we don't pay back the money, won't they lose their wife and lose their troops? Will they be happy?"
He is well-informed and will definitely come into contact with a lot of things. Slim Monkey can still figure out some tricks. At least he can fool the few people in front of him, so it is not a big problem.
"That's right! I can't be fooled by the other party. I have to tell someone quickly, otherwise I will pay with my life!"
"...Slowly..." One of them was so frightened that he woke up from drinking and was about to run away. The thin monkey quickly caught him.
"I haven't finished talking yet!" After appeasing him, Shouhou quickly continued: "This is the matter! We can't let the other party break the contract, and we may even have to jump out and force them to stop breaking the contract."
"What's the point of this?" Taste Taste just now was a little confused, so he quickly spoke up and told him not to be too pretentious.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing if the intelligence agency gets involved, think about it! They have all fought with the Japanese to death, and they will make the Japanese happy. Only with them can things turn around.
And I heard people say that the price of silver may go up again in the future. As long as the Japanese don’t default on their debts, we may still be able to recover our capital and even make some profit.”
This guy is also not honest. He directly exaggerates people's ambiguous statements in more than one category. Unfortunately, people are not willing to buy it.
"What are you talking about? Are you kidding?" Someone couldn't help but raised his voice and questioned Shouhou.
When Shouhou heard this, he immediately jumped up and prepared to defend his news. He pointed directly across the street and let a few people see clearly before speaking.
"Did you see that there are still people collecting deeds now? Can those who dare to accept them now be ordinary people? If there is no improvement, people will accept them with real money?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's suspicions were immediately dispelled. After all, they were indeed collecting real money and silver, and they had seen a lot of them today. At that time, they thought they were stupid! Now it seems that there was an inside story!
"How about you guys raise some money, and I can invite someone over and ask them about it?" Shouhou suggested, and several people were a little moved for a moment.
"Is this possible? We don't have much money left. Can someone reveal it to us?" One of them spoke a little doubtfully, and several others also turned their attention.
"What can't they do? What's wrong with the lack of money? They are doing things for others, and the money belongs to others. If we give it, it belongs to them. How little do they know about this? There is no shortage of us."
After Shouhou said it, several people felt that it made sense. After chatting for a while, they started to collect money. Unfortunately, they couldn't come up with ten yuan.
"Now, what are you still bothering about? What's the use of keeping these money? The important thing is to get the news, not to mention getting rich, but at least to earn back your money, right?"
After hearing this, a few people gritted their teeth and scraped together more than a dozen pieces. There was also a pile of zero coins in it, and they couldn't get any more. It showed that these people were really embarrassed now.
Seeing this, Shouhou wanted to make up for it himself, but the bartender and the boss made up for it and added twenty, saying that he also wanted to hear it. It turns out that this restaurant couldn't bear it and bought the contract, and now he is worried.
It doesn’t work!
Skinny Monkey didn't want to make up for it anymore, but he exchanged those zero coins for a whole coin, so he didn't hesitate. Anyway, after getting the news, he has the ability to earn more.
Taking the money, Shouhou crossed the street to the opposite side, and after nodding his head and saying nice words, he actually invited someone over.
"Here you make a good drink, but don't mess around with it like the one I had, with inferior quality, or we'll beat you to death later."
As soon as he entered the door, Skinny Monkey immediately came to the counter and started to greet him. He heard the boss flipping the silver coin. That's not what you said. If someone buys you a drink, then you can just mess around and fool you. Will you be rewarded afterwards?
The bartender didn't say much. With a pained look on his face, he took down a few bottles of good wine from the cabinet behind him, opened them, and made a glass of his best wine for the visitor.
While making drinks, a few people also chatted with the visitors, mainly interpreting Shouhou's remarks and asking if they were reliable.
"Not bad! He's quite knowledgeable!" The visitor looked at the thin monkey and praised him.
"But it's not very complete. The other party may indeed demand repayment, buy silver from the market at a low price, and then ask the person holding the deed to redeem it at a high price, so as to recoup some of the capital.
But this matter is not that easy to handle, and think about how many contracts the other party offers? If the other party buys silver aggressively, the price of silver will definitely rise, and the price of silver will indeed rise back in the future.
After we buy these contracts, we will definitely not let them default on their debts, and we will wait until the silver price rises back, and then redeem the silver, won't we make a profit by then?
Anyway, what I know and guess is basically this, and it’s worth twenty. What’s the big news? You can’t exchange it for this little money. So with twenty, I might as well try to sell it and make money with the big bosses.
Drink money."
After saying that, the visitor drank the newly prepared wine and was quite satisfied. After a few compliments, he walked back leisurely.
A few people stayed in the store, not in the mood to drink. They peeked in from time to time and found that the other party had indeed bought the contract and put it on themselves.
Shouhou was the first to leave, followed by several drinkers who also hurried away, and the shop owner immediately closed the door. This was not normal business hours, but there was really no money, so he opened early.
Looking at the shops that were scattered and even the doors were closed, the people on the other side didn't say anything. Anyway, the superiors didn't stop them from spreading the news. It was even their mission for a while, but it was just spread a little too early.
Anyway, the plate is big enough that the people behind them can't eat it, and they also need some people to charge at the front.
