Chapter 1877 bowing his head and admitting the monthly ticket)
Kong Lingkan said in a stern tone: "Xu, what do you mean? What are the four families?"
Wang Husheng next to him said quietly: "What other four families can there be? Of course they are the four families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen."
"That's nonsense." Kong Lingkan said angrily, "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."
"What lies?" Xu Rui said coldly, "In the 24th year of the Republic of China, the silver crisis broke out. The United States passed the Silver Act and purchased a large amount of silver, which led to China's monetary tightening. Major domestic banks fell into an unprecedented money shortage. Tens of thousands of
The small national enterprises were in dire straits because they could not borrow working capital."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "What did you, Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen families do at this time? As the de facto ruling group of China, at this time, not only did you fail to assume your responsibilities and obligations, control silver
outflow, stabilize the domestic financial order, and help national enterprises in desperate situations tide over difficulties, but..."
Wang Husheng went on to say: "Instead, he helped the tyrants to do evil and madly added fuel to the flames. First, the Kong family made a huge profit difference through the silver trade, then the Chiang family did nothing and allowed the domestic financial order to deteriorate, and then the Song family used a method that was almost plundering.
They forcibly took control of various domestic banks, and finally the Chen family purchased national enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy."
Xu Rui took over the conversation again and said: "Through this crisis, you Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen families have been full of food, but under your throne, the corpses of China's banking industry and industrialists have fallen.
You said I look ugly when I eat, haha, compared with the four of you, I really pale into insignificance."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know what to say." Kong Lingkan was frightened when he heard this.
As the eldest son of the old Kong family, he naturally knew the inside story of the Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen families who took advantage of the silver crisis to make a fortune from the national crisis, but few outsiders knew about it because it was very difficult to understand.
Even the domestic financial and industrial circles have placed this account on Americans.
Kong Lingkan really couldn't understand, how could Xu Rui, a soldier, know so much?
Xu Rui added: "Also, when it comes to trampling on stock trading laws, don't think that I don't know the plans of your Kong family and his son. You have never thought about holding Baotou Tea Trading Company for a long time, but just want to increase the stock price, and then
I fled from the highest position, but in the end I left the stockholders in a state of chaos. I have not wronged you, have I?"
Kong Lingkan said in panic: "I don't even know what you are talking about."
"It's useless for you to deny it." Xu Rui said with a cold smile, "Since your old Kong family dares to trample on the stock trading law, then don't blame me for trampling on the stock trading law. Since the four families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen are so ugly,
Then don’t blame the newly established Baotou security company for its ugly appearance. Compared to you, the security company at least knows how to do things after taking the money, and it won’t leave a lot of chicken feathers for innocent stock investors to take over, right?”
Kong Lingkan naturally couldn't take this issue and quickly changed the subject.
Kong Lingkan took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xu, are you saying that there is no room for negotiation about the security company's investment in the Baotou Tea Trading Company and its 90 million shares?"
"It's not that there is no room for negotiation." Xu Rui shook his finger and said, "But I can only give you two options: First, make up for the price difference of three million original shares according to the previous verbal agreement between the two parties; or as it is now, you admit Baotou
The shares of the tea trading company have been expanded to 100 million shares, and there is no third option."
Kong Lingkan's face immediately fell because he couldn't choose any one.
There is no need to go into detail about the second option. If we really follow this approach, the Kong family and his son will spend a long time making wedding clothes for others. This will definitely not work! The Kong family is willing to do the first option.
The problem is, my uncle can't pass the test at all. My uncle hates Xu Rui to the core, so he won't agree to this condition.
Seeing Kong Lingkan's dilemma, Yao Dahai immediately helped: "Captain Xu, haven't you ever thought about the consequences if the young master doesn't choose either of them?"
Xu Rui said cooperatively: "I wonder what the consequences will be?"
Yao Dahai snorted and said: "I really offended the young master so much that he just slapped his ass and left. The loss is nothing more than the more than 3 million yuan in stock purchase money paid before. But from now on, Baotou Tea Trading Company will no longer be able to buy from Shaanxi."
I bought a pound of tea, but I don’t know who suffered the biggest loss at that time?”
Kong Lingkan's heart moved and he sighed: "It seems that this is the only way."
Kong Lingkan was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment, hoping to use this to tease Xu Rui.
It’s a pity that Xu Rui didn’t accept this idea at all. Xu Rui said suddenly: “Since the National Government and Mr. Kong want to do this, there is nothing we can do. After all, now that the Baotou Industrial Zone has been built, we can already use fuel and be subdued.
As well as the trade of industrial products such as canned beef and mutton with the Soviet Union, profits continued to be made, and the tea trade was no longer important."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "However, I want to remind Mr. Kong that the tea trade is not only related to the vital interests of thousands of businesses in Baotou and even Suiyuan, but also related to hundreds of thousands of people in southern Shaanxi and Huguang.
Even the wealth and lives of millions of tea farmers, as well as countless taxes and fees along the way, haha."
At the end, Xu Rui just chuckled twice, because there was no need to say more.
All in all, the tea trade affects the whole body, and the interests involved are too wide. Even Chairman Chiang could only hold his nose and acquiesce, and did not dare to stop the tea trade rashly. With the energy of the old Confucius family,
I don't even dare to do it anymore, so Mr. Kong only talks about it, but he absolutely doesn't dare to do it.
Mr. Kong Dagong and Yao Dahai, a loser, walked away in despair.
Wang Husheng asked Xu Rui again: "Old Xu, is the silver crisis true?"
"Of course it's true." Xu Rui said, "How can I lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"Then the four families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen are really bad." Wang Husheng said, "Isn't this stealing food from the people and making it difficult for the country to make money? As the ruling class, how can we do this?"
Xu Rui said: "Is it possible that you really think they are any good things?"
Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "But, Lao Xu, do you think Lao Jiang will give you money?"
Although the nominal head of the bidding committee is Kong Lingkan, everyone knows that Kong Lingkan wants to listen to Kong Xiangxi, and behind Kong Xiangxi stands Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, so their Chahar Independent Group has to get the price difference of 72 million
, it would have been absolutely impossible without Chairman Chiang’s nod.
Wang Husheng did not think that Chairman Chiang would compromise.
Xu Rui sneered and said: "Chiang Kai-shek can give him this money, even if he doesn't. The situation is no longer up to him! We used to beg him, Chiang Kai-shek, but now it's his turn to beg us!"
…
In Chongqing, Chairman Chiang's official residence.
Chairman Chiang once again summoned a group of close aides for a meeting, but this time it was not a military meeting, so it was not senior generals such as Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, and Bai Chongxi who were convened, but Chen Bulei, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Lifu, etc.
A group of economic and political aides, Dai Jitao, were also invited by Chairman Chiang to make an exception.
Since the Xi'an Incident, Chairman Chiang and Dai Jitao have no longer been as close as before, and they no longer ask Dai Jitao for advice on everything as before, but this time, they made an exception and invited Dai Jitao here.
Chairman Chiang said to Kong Xiangxi: "Yongzhi, tell everyone about the situation."
Kong Xiangxi mentioned both options Xu Rui offered, and then said: "In addition, Xu Rui also offered an additional condition, which is to ask the National Government to immediately lift the economic blockade on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, Baotou and other anti-Japanese base areas.
, because the matter is of great importance, the committee specially invites you to come and discuss national affairs."
Chen Lifu immediately said: "The economic blockade must not be lifted."
Chen Bulei said suddenly: "However, what is very embarrassing is that the economic blockade of Baotou has long existed in name only. As far as I know, it is not only Fu Zuoyi's acquiescence that the farmers and herdsmen in Suiyuan sell beef, mutton, fur and grain to
The Chahar Independent Group, and even Hu Zongnan of Shaanxi, Ma Bufang of Gansu, and Ma Hongkui of Ningxia are selling oil, ore, coal, wood and other resource products to Baotou in exchange for Baotou’s industrial products.”
Chen Lifu said angrily: "Then the economic blockade on Baotou cannot be lifted. Otherwise, Baotou's industrial strength will only become stronger, and no one will be able to control it!" After a pause, Chen Lifu continued
He said sternly, "Brother Yanji, don't forget, Baotou is a complete industrial zone capable of producing military products!"
Chen Brai spread his hands, too lazy to argue with Chen Lifu anymore.
With the current situation, the situation has been completely reversed, why is it still blocked?
If we really want to implement an economic blockade, then the Communist-controlled areas will in turn blockade the Kuomintang-controlled areas. Didn't Fu Zuoyi, Hu Zongnan, Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui all start to fawn over Xu Rui? It's not that they want to ignore the central government's decree, but because
Doing business with Xu Rui can bring them huge financial benefits.
Under such circumstances, even if the central government removes the provincial chairpersons of each province, it will not help.
What's more, local gangsters like Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui cannot be replaced at all.
Chairman Jiang turned his gaze to Dai Jitao and asked harmoniously: "Jitao, what do you think?"
Dai Jitao sighed softly and said: "Now Baotou has established heavy industry, which can produce products that are urgently needed by the party and state but cannot be purchased internationally, such as gasoline, asphalt, etc. In time, Baotou will also push forward textile and pharmaceutical industries.
When the time comes for light industry, it’s our turn to beg them not to impose a blockade.”
"I understand." Chairman Jiang nodded, seeming to have made a decision in his heart.
The situation is stronger than the people. At this point, Chairman Chiang has no choice but to bow his head and give in.
