On Lin Mo's side, progress was going smoothly. A few people bumped heads a few times and wandered outside for a few hours. Until the crowds on the street gradually thinned out and ordinary citizens returned home, a few people gathered together and ended today's operations.
I found some information and got personal experience of the actual situation in Shanghai, but I didn't find much information worth talking about. It was all routine and ordinary situations.
After returning to the hotel, they bluffed the boss again on the first floor. They returned to the guest room listlessly, hunched over, and looked tired. They closed the door. They immediately came back in high spirits and checked. There were no signs of entry. There were no signs of entry.
It was not lost or moved, so a few people felt relieved.
They walked behind the window without leaving a trace, looked at the streets and surrounding buildings, and waited patiently for half an hour in turns. Nothing unusual was found. A few people sat around together and began to summarize the information, sort out the situation, and conduct some simple analysis.
Research, judgment and organization work.
After handling these matters properly, the time has been set to a new day. Several people said hello to each other and turned off the lights directly to rest. Although the temperature during the day is high and it is more suitable to stay indoors, the temperature is not suitable for rest, so it is still necessary to
Take advantage of the cooler nights, try to get a good rest and refresh yourself.
The risk of them coming to explore the road is not low. They may engage in firefights with the enemy at any time. Once the battle starts, they will most likely be on the weak side and will be beaten. If they don't rest well and the high temperature during the day is added, they will definitely be in a daze.
In such a greatly weakened state, once faced with the fierce pursuit of fierce enemies, the consequences can be imagined.
They slept until the next morning without much sleep. Around seven o'clock, several people got up one after another. After finishing washing, they tidied up, put away their things, and put on slightly more formal clothes. Lin
Mo and Zhu Sanbao, one of them took a leather handbag, and the other took a leather handbag. Then the four of them put on the sunglasses they bought last night and went downstairs together, but separated when they went out the door.
This morning the two groups completely separated. Zhu Sanbao took Song Jinwei to learn about several more formal exchanges in Shanghai. They mainly learned about silver trading, but other transactions such as stocks, bonds, futures, gold, etc.
You also need to have a general understanding of it.
This kind of formal place may not have a big impact on actions. It can be regarded as a test and training for the two of them! After all, neither of them are familiar with or understand this thing. It is a completely new field and a blind spot of knowledge. It is impossible for people to know everything.
He knows everything, and the probability of encountering an unfamiliar field or industry in future tasks is not low, or even very common.
In this situation, how to deal with and deal with it reasonably and properly is a big knowledge... Well... Lin Mo didn't understand this knowledge, so he took this opportunity to let the two of them explore it. Although the two of them had some of this knowledge,
Although they have some shortcomings, they are still worth cultivating. Their shortcomings can be made up for and they can be learned. However, they have some advantages that others cannot learn even if they want to.
As for Lin Mo and Wang Yousheng, they went to investigate less formal trading places, mainly the silver houses that have recently emerged to provide silver trading and speculation, as well as money dealers and other businesses that exchange silver coins for loans.
.
The price of silver has risen so sharply. It is not just the Japanese who are involved in this kind of business. For example, many well-known forces in Shanghai have intervened in this business and opened numerous large and small banking houses.
However, due to limited capital and lack of foreign exchange supply for transactions, most of them are operating on a small scale, and few have truly reached scale.
Other foreign banks, foreign businessmen, etc. have also openly opened or secretly supported such trading venues. However, due to concerns about the risks and other influencing factors, they are far less crazy than the Japanese, and the scale is far behind.
In Shanghai now, the two most popular things in society are: one is the hot weather, surrounded by a lot of people, which is not affecting people's livelihood, but praying for rain, cooling off, etc.; the other is the hot silver
Speculation and speculation, they naturally need to conduct in-depth investigation and understanding of these.
These places are basically opened in the concession. Lin Mo has basically sorted them out from the information he got from the Lin family yesterday. The two changed rickshaws twice on the way and arrived at the door of the first destination.
This place was founded by a big gangster from the Youth Gang, in partnership with some domestic banks and several foreign businessmen. The Chinese businessmen and foreign merchants were responsible for the operation, while the gangsters from the Youth Gang were responsible for maintaining order and cracking down on violations and breach of contract. The business was okay, but far from crazy.
The hype should be as hot as it should be.
The two of them pretended to be newbies who wanted to trade, and entered the trading floor, looking around in circles. They behaved nervously, dazed, and seemed a little at a loss, but their faces were flushed with excitement.
After looking around for a while, and after being noticed, the two of them were a little embarrassed, shy and cautiously rejected the exchange staff who came to introduce the sales. Fortunately, the other party was just doing procedural work and did not get entangled, because the two of them were so
No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a big customer.
The name here is an exchange, but the official name to the outside world is a tea club, which is where traders come together to drink tea and trade and pump money. Although the form and function are the same as those of an exchange.
However, the first is the lack of legal protection, the second is the lack of effective normative restrictions, and the third is the lack of safe and orderly transaction protection. It is a three-deficiency situation, commonly known as 'three lacks and one'.
As for why it is not as good as the exchange, but there are still many people coming to trade? Because the exchange has guarantees but also has many restrictions. Many speculative trading methods are restricted and prohibited, and they want to use these methods to gain more profits.
Although informal exchanges are more chaotic and disorderly, and the risk of losing everything if something goes wrong is greater, the three shortcomings are not the three nothings. They just have fewer guarantees and fewer restrictions. Moreover, formal exchanges are perfect and there is nothing
No one would believe these violations, right?
In fact, the formal exchanges are not much better. It's just that ordinary speculators like them are not involved in the so-called illegal things. The wealthy and powerful people have more fun than those in informal places. Even something happened in such a place.
, they dared to shout a few times, but in formal exchanges, facing those wealthy and powerful people with high positions and powerful eyes, they may not be able to make a splash even if they die, so there are so many irregular trading places.
.
The two of them hung around for a while, and found a kind-hearted and enthusiastic person of the same age. Well, this was on the surface. In fact, the two of them dressed up in clothes to appear to be less than thirty years old, while the other person was in his thirties.
He looks like he's in his early teens but not more than half his age.
As for the kindness and enthusiasm, Lin Mo didn't care about it. He found the other party because he observed that he was cheerful, outgoing, and liked to brag, and he also liked to be a teacher. This kind of person is generally loose-spoken, has many contacts, likes to join in the fun, and likes to be a teacher.
Listen to the bad news and blindly follow others, let alone whether it is reliable or not, just whether the information is good or not, is it too much?
Zhu Sanbao and his two friends on the other side also arrived at their destination. This kind of formal trading place is not like Lin Mo's place. Trading in it is usually done by licensed traders and trading companies. Although
There are people behind the scenes who are stirring things up, but under normal circumstances, it is relatively fair and orderly, with more guarantees.
The first place the two came to was near the Shanghai Gold Exchange on Erma Road. Although silver was not traded directly there, because the trading currency was silver dollars, the sharp changes in currency value and exchange rate caused by the rise and fall of silver prices, along with
Gold prices also fell rapidly.
The situation is similar for other formal exchanges and trading categories. Changes in currency value will inevitably be accompanied by changes in the prices of various items priced in silver dollars. Some speculators will indirectly participate in silver speculation through these non-silver investment targets, and even
Some use the time difference in price fluctuations between the two to carry out various arbitrage activities. Anyway, the current situation of these formal exchanges and non-bank exchanges is also chaotic, with speculation and speculation running rampant...
The Shanghai Gold Exchange was reorganized from the Shanghai Gold Industry Office. It was established on September 12, 1921 (the 10th year of the Republic of China) and opened on November 13 of the same year on Erma Road. Erma Road, now Jiujiang Road, was known as China's
The fact that Wall Street can gain a foothold in such a place shows its strength and status, and the Shanghai gold market is almost centered on it.
In addition, according to the "Exchange Law" promulgated by the National Government in October 1929 (the 18th year of the Republic of China), exchanges for the same kind of goods are limited to one district and one office. It has been in effect for five years and it is estimated that it will be difficult to delay it any longer.
With its large scale, single trading categories, and extremely high industry status, there is a high probability that gold trading in the surrounding formal exchanges will be incorporated into it, and it will inevitably have greater influence and higher status.
It is also because of the regulations of one district and one institute, but Shanghai is also a gathering of forces from all sides, with huge divergence of interests and demands, and no one party can exercise strong jurisdiction over the whole area. Once silver becomes hot, or any thing becomes hot, all parties will be affected.
Conveniently, for the purpose of pursuing their own interests and planning, they set up a bunch of informal exchanges and carry out various speculative activities.
Of course, they generally do not publicly advertise that they are an exchange, but rather call themselves some kind of tea club or trade house. But anyone who knows a little bit will know where it is. These are the types of exchanges that have appeared in Shanghai.
, a trading situation before the emergence of formal exchanges, and now the general public has become accustomed to calling it an exchange.
Zhu Sanbao and his wife did not step into the Shanghai Gold Exchange. They even just walked around outside. Then they left the second road and walked into the surrounding alleys. They followed a man who had just come out of the Gold Exchange.
A trader walked into a slightly secluded teahouse.
A formal and long-term financial industry gathering place like this will definitely be surrounded by a bunch of people and industries that make a living and serve it. Therefore, when you enter a formal place, what you will find may only be some unnutritious people.
Mandarin, cliche, but there must be an antidote nearby.
Of course, the two of them definitely didn't have this kind of experience, but when Song Jinwei was in Shanghai, his friend treated him to a treat. His friend's friend was engaged in these things, and he used them to brag about them. The bragging made him salivate, so he still remembers it.
Some.
They had indeed found the antidote. As soon as the two of them entered the door, the waiter looked unfamiliar. When he was leading the way, he came over and asked quietly if he wanted to invite someone. Although Zhu Sanbao didn't understand what he heard, he still ordered.
head.
They probably saw that the two of them were not very knowledgeable, but the waiter obviously encountered this situation frequently, and he handed over something like a post or a small menu without taking it seriously.
The two sides of the post were made of exquisite gilded cardboard. Apart from the gold trim, there were no words or logos. The style was similar to ancient memorials. After opening the folded post and taking a look, the two of them understood.
