Why did Zhou Hexuan agree to do business with Song Ziwen without asking clearly?
Just a cliche.
Song Ziwen's answer was high-sounding: "If you want to issue paper currency in China, it is impossible to rely on the central bank alone. The Bank of China and the Bank of Communications must act together. But the Bank of China has too many private shares and must be further nationalized.
Otherwise, there will definitely be trouble during the currency reform. After the nationalization of the Bank of China is completed, these three banks can be used to rescue the market, restructure other local banks that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and restore the national banking system to normal."
"This is what it should be. Roosevelt's first step in solving the economic crisis was to restore the U.S. banking system." Zhou Hexuan nodded.
Song Ziwen added: "When the banking system is restored to health, the currency reform will be half successful. However, large companies across the country have suffered heavy losses and they lack funds, so we can provide funds. I heard that Brother Mingcheng has done a lot of business, so he must have funds too."
If there is no shortage, why not use some money to provide relief and help our national enterprises tide over the difficulties?"
"This is a good thing, I will definitely help." Zhou Hexuan said righteously.
In fact, Zhou Hexuan was already furious!
Song Ziwen spoke like a savior, and the insidiousness in it was fully exposed.
Haha, nationalizing the Bank of China? This is equivalent to using the government's administrative order to forcibly acquire the shares of bankers. In the current era of monetary tightening, it is no different from an open robbery.
As for helping local banks and large enterprises to tide over the difficulties, at best it is called bailing out the market, at worst it is taking advantage of the situation. When banks and enterprises are in financial difficulties, acquisitions at ultra-low stock prices are completely equivalent to getting nothing.
The most shameful thing is that the four major families definitely don't have that much money, so they will definitely use state-owned assets to "bail out the market." With a few more twists and turns, those state-owned assets used to "bail out the market" can easily become private property.
As long as you do it beautifully, this behavior is completely "legal" and you can't find any loopholes.
Song Ziwen obviously wanted to recruit Zhou Hexuan to join the gang and give Zhou Hexuan some benefits. This was not only out of guilt, but also probably under the instruction of Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Zhou Hexuan could not let his trip to the United States go to waste.
From a personal point of view, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen were very particular about what they did, and they felt that they were kind enough to Zhou Hexuan.
Zhou Hexuan has no sympathy for those national capitalists who have been robbed. Let's put it this way, nine out of ten people who can do business big these days have the shadow of bureaucratic capital. Chiang Kai-shek's attacks on those people are purely
Dog bites dog and has a hairy mouth.
If it were just like this, Zhou Hexuan would be happy to "collude" with Chiang Kai-shek. After all, he is a bastard who doesn't want to make money.
What really makes Zhou Hexuan angry is the way people like Chiang Kai-shek act. The banks and companies they like must be big guys making money every day. If they want to rob these big guys at the bottom, they have to wait until China's economy deteriorates further.
.
Recalling that Chiang Kai-shek jumped into Roosevelt's trap, why didn't Zhou Hexuan react? Chiang Kai-shek was deliberately stalling for time, waiting until the situation was ripe before taking action, allowing China's silver crisis to worsen.
In the end, it is ordinary people who suffer!
As far as this matter is concerned, Lao Chiang's structure is too small. He can indeed reap benefits, even completely control the Chinese economy, and fundamentally consolidate his dominance. But what he loses is the support of the people, especially the support of businessmen.
From now on, Chinese businessmen will regard Chang Kaishen as a tiger or a wolf.
To put it more clearly, Chang Kaishen wants to take this opportunity to overdraw China's private financial resources, feed the four major families in one fell swoop, and enrich the national treasury that has bottomed out. The private loan advance of the Nanjing government has reached 160 million.
Ten thousand yuan, mostly borrowed from banks and businessmen. Through bailout and currency reform, these debts can be wiped out directly, and a lot of money can be made.
When the four major families are rich, they will support Chiang Kai-shek more wholeheartedly; when the national treasury is rich, Chiang Kai-shek will be able to control the army and officials more firmly.
Money, money!
Old Chiang Kai-shek only has money in his eyes now, and he is driven crazy by money, because he has to feed his millions of troops. Historically, after making a lot of money from the currency reform, Old Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied, so he directly made another
The Agricultural Bank of China came out to raise military expenses. Now even Kong Xiangxi felt guilty. He was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would collapse again, so he advised: "The Agricultural Bank of China has issued so many debts, which is not in compliance with the regulations."
It is really difficult to be the Finance Minister of the Nanjing government. No wonder Song Ziwen resigned from office again and again. Kong Xiangxi, who took over, was sweating while making money. His heart could not bear the wanton behavior of Chiang Kai-shek, so he did not continue to resign.
I can only call him awesome.
China's current silver crisis, in Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, is a good opportunity for him to get rid of the financial crisis.
As for the life and death of Sheng Dou Xiaomin, haha...
Of course, if the propaganda campaign is done well, Chang Kaishen can also use the bailout and currency reform to greatly enhance his prestige and make the ignorant people grateful. The capitalists dare not say anything when they are suffering, even if they are criticized.
It's a trap, but the people still applaud and applaud.
Zhou Hexuan suddenly realized that he seemed to be unable to do anything, and that Chiang Kai-shek had fooled the whole country into it.
The only solution for now is to persuade Britain quickly and help earlier so as not to allow China's economy to collapse too completely and to make the poor people feel a little better.
As for those domestic capitalists who have been cheated, Zhou Hexuan has no mercy. No one has a clean foundation these days. Zhou Hexuan will even get involved and take advantage of the opportunity to buy the bottom to gain some benefits for himself.
Mr. Zhou is not a saint.
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Brother Song, if you have any good projects, please introduce them."
Seeing that Zhou Hexuan was willing to join the team, Song Ziwen was in a happy mood and said: "The Bank of Guangdong is about to be unable to survive and must be rectified and reorganized. Brother Mingcheng can get 3% of the shares. Jane's Nanyang Tobacco Company, Rong's Shenxin Company, Mingcheng
Brother Mingcheng can also hold less than 3.5% of the shares. If Brother Mingcheng is interested in other flour, cotton yarn and other manufacturing factories, he can also choose a few for investment."
Damn, that's a big deal. Whether it's Nanyang Tobacco or Shenxin Company, they are both leaders among national enterprises.
If the four major families want to annex these companies, they will definitely not be able to do so, but they will definitely invest in large amounts of shares. Chiang Kai-shek wants to tie these big capitalists to his chariot. This is not only a financial consideration, but also brings many political consequences.
Convenience, there is no doubt that as long as Chiang Kai-shek controls these enterprises, his rule in China will be more consolidated.
At this time, Zhou Hexuan was convinced that Song Ziwen's invitation to join the company must be at the behest of Lao Jiang, and he even determined how many shares he would be given.
This can be regarded as a reward for Zhou Hexuan. After all, he helped build momentum in the United States and successfully brought Britain, the United States, and Japan into the game, which made it easier for Chiang Kai-shek to harvest capital at home.
Although he could make money, Zhou Hexuan still felt unhappy. He always felt that he had become Chiang Kai-shek's lackey. He had decided that he must convince the British side as soon as possible, even if he did not hesitate to give up some of his shares in British pharmaceutical companies.
