Years of the Republic of China 1913

Volume 2, Chapter 9 The Occupation Beyond the Times

() The three of them were taken aback, what?Jiang Zhiqing didn't want to partner with them to sell opium, but instead said he wanted to show them the way?Is there a more profitable business in this world than selling opium?Unless it's an arms business!Of course, with the background of Fang Zida behind Jiang Zhiqing, it is normal for him to really do arms business. The whole country knows that Fang Zida, as the chief financial officer, also controls the most powerful military enterprise in China, and even the famous Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is Fang Zida's. Are you in control?If it is really possible to engage in arms transactions through channels, the money will of course come in faster than opium.

For a moment, the three of them exchanged glances, and the enthusiasm and anticipation in their gazes were obvious.He held his breath excitedly, looking forward to Jiang Zhiqing, waiting for him to continue.

"How much do you three know about finance?" Unexpectedly, when Jiang Zhiqing opened his mouth, it was not the arms deal they had imagined, but instead asked about financial issues. The three of them were all dumbfounded.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't it munitions?" Zhang Xiaolin was the first to lose his composure, fearing that he might confuse the word finance with munitions, he hurriedly asked.

"Arms? What kind of ammunition?" Jiang Zhiqing was a little surprised, and immediately understood their expressions, and laughed loudly: "How could it be arms? Although Jiang and Director Chen are both under the president, both sides are considered There are some friendships, but the president has always personally assigned someone to take charge of the munitions. Although Jiang is deeply trusted by the president, he has never taken over this project because of the different nature of the work."

Zhang Xiaolin was disappointed when he heard that, Jiang Zhiqing was not talking about arms, but finance.He's a rough guy who knows a lot about finance.Maybe he can't even figure out how to write the word "finance". He is good at fighting, killing and killing, and he is good at tricking and swindling.

Huang Jinrong's eyes were blank. Compared with Zhang Xiaolin, he knew what finance was, but it was limited to a few things.But if you ask him to explain it, I'm afraid I can't understand it.Looking at the smile on Jiang Zhiqing's face, Huang Jinrong even wondered if the other party deliberately used this as an excuse to decline, otherwise why would he talk about it.

Only Du Yuesheng thought about it, but actually talked about the level of education.Du Yuesheng seemed to be more refined than Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, but in fact, it was the elder brother who said the second brother—about the same.However, compared to the two of them, Du Yuesheng is good at learning and has a little more knowledge. Although he doesn't know much about finance, he has heard people say that running a bank can make more money than opening an opium den. Why is everyone a banker?Compared with these people, no matter how big the business of selling opium is, he is just an opium dealer.They couldn't get on the stage at all, since Jiang Zhiqing could point out a way for them.Moreover, it is a financial business, if it is not done well, it is really a golden road. For a while, Du Yuesheng felt that this matter might be a good opportunity.

Seeing the three of them at a loss, Jiang Zhiqing had a sense of superiority in IQ. In order to pass the addiction of being a teacher, he took a sip of plain water and eloquently explained the meaning of the word finance. Meaning, for a while, he was spitting and dancing.As for the three people who were listening, their eyes were straightened, and they nodded like chickens pecking at rice. As for how much they can understand, that's God knows.

After talking on the phone for a long time, Jiang Zhiqing felt deeply regretful seeing the three elm heads in front of him still not enlightened, and felt that his professional level was really ruining the cow playing the piano.After thinking for a while, he changed the way of popular reading and said: "Simply put, stocks, exchange rates, bank deposits, loans, and mutual fund lending are all financial aspects."

"Mr. Jiang said that, I, Lao Zhang, will understand." Zhang Xiaolin suddenly realized, patted his thigh excitedly, and said inferences: "It's like Lao Zhang, I put usury. Is this considered finance?"

"Right!" Jiang Zhiqing smiled and nodded.

"So, Mr. Jiang is going to ask us to put loan sharks together? It's a good idea. It's easy to make money if you think about it, but the risk is too great. You have to raise a large group of people to collect debts. If you can't get the money back It's not worth it." Zhang Xiaolin said after thinking about it.

Jiang Zhiqing, who was drinking from a water glass, almost spit out water, no mistake!He, Jiang Zhiqing, explained for a long time that Zhang Xiaolin thought he was going to give us usury?

Du Yuesheng's eyes brightened, and he quickly kicked Zhang Xiaolin under the table, took his words and said to Jiang Zhiqing: "Mr. Jiang, Boss Zhang was joking just now, hehe, just kidding. But Mr. Jiang, to tell you the truth, we The brothers have mastered nine tricks, and they don’t know anything about finance. I’ve heard of stocks and so on, but Du Mou made his debut late, so I haven’t seen it. One or two?"

Huang Jinrong nodded at the side. He had played with stocks in the Qianqing period, but he was just joining in the fun and didn't have deep contact with them.Later, the rubber scam caused the market to crash, and most stock speculators went bankrupt. Fortunately, Huang Jinrong did not invest too much at that time, otherwise there would be no Boss Huang later. Thinking of this, he still has lingering fears.

Du Yuesheng continued: "But it doesn't matter. Mr. Jiang is a big man and has a lot of experience. We are very grateful for being able to take care of the brothers today. In this way, Mr. Jiang, what do you say, we brothers will listen to you Do it, think about it, Mr. Jiang will definitely not let our brothers suffer."

Du Yuesheng's words almost reached the bottom of Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin's heart, they both nodded in agreement, Jiang Zhiqing also laughed immediately, thinking that Du Yuesheng really has two brushes.

"Okay, Boss Du is quick to speak. If Boss Huang and Boss Zhang can trust Jiang, Jiang will talk about what to do and how to do it."

Before coming here, Jiang Zhiqing contacted Fang Zida and offered his suggestion.Because Fang Zida instructed Jiang Zhiqing, all financial derivative products must be paid in hard currency, especially for customers from Russia, Japan and even the Allied countries, and the other party must buy with US dollars or direct real money.Even Fang Zida imposed restrictions on the member states of the Allied Powers, not accepting French francs and less British pounds. In this way, although Jiang Zhiqing has achieved a good momentum in sales, he has also been greatly restricted. , and its sales can even double.

The greater the sales volume of financial derivative products, the more prominent Jiang Zhiqing's contribution will be, and at the same time, the more his personal profit will be as compensation for the sales.In order to do a better job, Jiang Zhiqing spent a lot of thought. When Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng came to visit him for the matter of Ani in Nanshi, Jiang Zhiqing suddenly came up with an idea. After Rong and the others left, he immediately contacted Fang Zida. After a night of waiting, Fang Zida finally called back Jiang Zhiqing, agreeing to Jiang Zhiqing's plan in the telegram, but in any case, Zhongyang Bank or the investment bank, not even Jiang Zhiqing himself could come forward. , this matter must be done in private and confidentiality is guaranteed.

That's why Jiang Zhiqing refused when the three tycoons offered to invite him to sell opium together, but at the same time proposed to cooperate in another business.Seeing that these three people were all smart people, and they were upright in their work, Jiang Zhiqing immediately expressed his plan.

According to Jiang Zhiqing's plan, he is going to use the financially developed Shanghai Beach as a springboard to form a semi-underground foreign exchange market, which will be used to speculate in various foreign currencies on the market, especially for Japan, which is now under foreign exchange control, so that In this way, capital outflow from Japan is leveraged.

China's foreign exchange market, on the surface, the central yang bank is responsible for the formulation of foreign exchange standards. After Fang Zida became the president of the central yang bank, he fully controlled the foreign currency settlement of all private banks and canceled the foreign exchange free exchange rights of private private banks. .However, Shanghai* is an exception. Although private private banks do not have the right to freely exchange foreign exchange, the whole of Shanghai has branches of major banks in almost all countries in the world. It is absolutely impossible to exchange, and the exchange rate of Zhongyang Bank is only the reference exchange rate of each bank, which is slightly different from the actual settlement.

If it is put in a few decades, this kind of situation will inevitably produce the profession of remittance scalpers, just like in the 20s and 80s, there would always be a kind of money called by the public at the gates of Bank of China in Shanghai*Shanghai. The so-called "piling moulds", no matter it is windy, rainy or extremely hot and cold, as long as someone passes by them, they can hear these people repeating back and forth like old monks chanting scriptures, "the foreign exchange has been transferred, the foreign exchange has been transferred." Are there cuts? Foreign exchange certificates, US dollars, Japanese yuan, British pounds, marks... There are cuts."

However, in today's situation of underdeveloped information, this difference in settlement is not known to outsiders, and under the strict control of Zhongyang Bank, not many people can take advantage of this loophole, and most people don't know the world at all. There is still such a business to do on the Internet.

Then, Jiang Zhiqing's plan is to use the method of foreign exchange speculation to convert some unplanned currencies into receivable currencies in circulation in Shanghai*, and use the exchange rate difference to speculate on the currencies of various countries. , this kind of thing can get twice the result with half the effort, it is definitely a good deal.

According to Jiang Zhiqing's calculations, if this business can operate, it will not only be able to make huge profits in the short term, but it can even directly extend its tentacles to other areas.What's more, his suggestion was exactly what Fang Zida wanted. After receiving Jiang Zhiqing's telegram, Fang Zida was surprised at first, then found it funny, and at the same time admired Jiang Zhiqing's mind.It seems that Jiang Zhiqing really put his heart into it, not only learned a few tricks from the counterfeit banknotes messing up the Japanese economy, but also gained his own insights in finance, so he approved his plan without hesitation.
