Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Everyone hurriedly asked: "What can you do, tell me quickly!"

Matsumoto Yunqing said: "Our problem is lack of money, so we should ask for help from other big banks in Shanghai. Among the foreign banks in Shanghai, there are relatively large-scale foreign banks in France and Deutsche Bank in Germany. They borrowed funds to stabilize the depositors first, I wonder if it is possible?"

The president of the bank said helplessly: "I thought you had some clever method, but it turned out to be this. No matter how much funds are transferred, it will be useless!"

At this moment, a staff member suddenly came in and said to the president: "There are several big merchants who want to withdraw cash!"

The president said to everyone: "Did you see that? Big merchants are coming to withdraw cash. This time we are really doomed. What should we do?"

Meritz said firmly: "No matter what, they can't let them take the cash away. We have to transport the silver back to England!"

Matsumoto Yunqing frowned, and said thoughtfully: "You must not do this. What you should do is to give the depositors the money they want as quickly as possible!"

As soon as Matsumoto Yunqing said this, everyone murmured in their hearts: "Matsumoto Yunqing, who the hell are you, and how can you help Lin Yuan speak!"

Charlton said: "Mr. Matsumoto Yunqing, why do you want us to hand over the silver to the depositor?"

Matsumoto Yunqing said with a smile: "Lin Yuan has stated his position many times. He will not just watch the Chinese people's money being taken away by foreigners, and he has found the location of your warehouse. If you do not agree to withdraw the cash , gave Lin Yuan an excuse to attack the bank warehouse, as far as I know, the silver deposits in the warehouse are not only from Chinese firms, but also a large part of your foreign firms.”

"If Lin Yuan captures the warehouse, he will definitely not let go of a piece of silver, and then you will have nothing, so I said: If you let Chinese merchants withdraw cash, you will lose the Chinese merchant's silver, but if you do not allow merchants Withdrawing cash, you don’t even have any silver left in your foreign bank!”

Charlton laughed, and said: "Mr. Matsumoto Yunqing is too worried, our bank warehouse is located in the concession, Lin Yuan will never have the guts to attack our warehouse, and our warehouse is very strong, Lin Yuan can't beat it at all." Come in!"

Facing the doubts from the crowd, Matsumoto Yunqing smiled lightly and said, "We have built many strong fortresses, and we thought that Lin Yuan would not be able to break in, but in the end, he led the troops to break in!"

Klein said disdainfully: "Mr. Matsumoto Yunqing, please don't compare our British Empire with your Japan!"

Charlton and Meritz felt that Klein's words were really impolite, so they couldn't help coughing. Matsumoto Yunqing didn't care, and said, "Let's continue to talk about the method I proposed to ask the banks of various countries for help. Will it work?"

The president of the bank said: "What's the use of asking for help from banks in various countries! Without the trust of depositors, we still can't turn the situation around. Not only will we fail, but other banks will also fail! What can we get by asking them for help?"

Matsumoto Yunqing said as steadily as Mount Tai: "Time, we can get time!"

Klein asked, "Time? What use do we need time for?"

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said: "Don't you remember? The Bank of England's expert team has arrived in Beijing. With our help, they are having secret talks with people from the Qing court to prepare to establish the Bank of Great Qing. When the Bank of Great Qing is established, they will Will Lin Yuan still issue currency? Don’t you remember what I said? The faster Lin Yuan’s banknotes circulate, the sooner he will die!”

Matsumoto Yunqing went on to say: "Now our mission in Beijing is still fighting for the two key figures, Weng Tonghe and Yuan Shikai. We have to win them over, and we can ask them to help us to force the imperial court to ban Lin Yuan's bank! Once the bank far away falls, won't the crisis in Shanghai be unraveled naturally?"

Charlton's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this what the Chinese often say, 'surround Wei and save Zhao'?"

Matsumoto Yunqing nodded with a smile, and Meritz said: "If that's the case, I'll go to the consulates of several other countries to negotiate and get over this difficulty first!"

After the meeting was over, Meritz quietly invited people except Matsumoto Yunqing together, and said to them: "Matsumoto Yunqing is a foreigner, he will not be of one mind with us, and the silver of our British Empire must never be handed over. For the stupid Chinese!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Meritz continued, "Klein, go to the foreign firm immediately, find their person in charge, borrow their merchant ship, and transport all the silver in the warehouse to Hong Kong!"

Klein said: "There are several 10 taels of silver in the warehouse. We can't ship them out in a flash! Wouldn't it be suspicious to ship them slowly?"

Meritz said: "Don't big merchants in China want to withdraw cash? Well, we use the excuse of delivering the silver to ship the silver out of the warehouse, but the destination is not the bank, but the wharf. If you are lucky, Lin Yuan will definitely become suspicious, so you first transport the money to the bank, and then use other names to transport the money to the dock!"

Klein said in admiration: "The consul is still brilliant!"

Meritz said to the bank president: "During this period of time, if you go to see those big merchants who want to withdraw cash, first of all, it is to dissuade them and restore their confidence in us. They may not obey, and then you agree. They request to withdraw the cash, but you have to tell them that the cash is in the warehouse and cannot be withdrawn for a while, so please wait patiently! In short, we must buy time for the transfer of the cash!"

Of course, Lin Yuan knew that the big businessman asked to withdraw the cash. He was secretly happy, but suddenly got the news that the British were transferring the cash out of the warehouse. Lin Yuan suddenly thought: "Do the British want to withdraw the cash?" What about transshipment?"

So he asked the investigator: "Where did the British transporter go?"

The scout said, "To the bank!"

Lin Yuan nodded silently, thinking: "It seems that the British are going to use the cash in the warehouse to pay the withdrawal requirements of big merchants." At the same time, Lin Yuan received another situation: HSBC is putting What's in the bank is shipped to the port.

Lin Yuan immediately asked: "What is it? Have you heard about it?"

The investigator said: "They said that the things on the car were all personal belongings, and they were going to be transported to Hong Kong, but we observed that the cart pulling things was very heavy, definitely not personal belongings, and it was covered with a thick sheet of tarpaulin. You can't even see inside!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Could it be that the British are playing tricks with me? They want to transfer the cash in the warehouse secretly! No, I can't watch them transfer the cash and remain indifferent, regardless of whether he transports the silver. What do I want to do, I'd better just take down the warehouse to be safe."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately called Fade Chen and said to him, "Let the soldiers get ready to attack the bank warehouse!"
