Sun Zhongshan is worthy of being a self-made shrewd businessman, and his daughter's bad marriage could not be changed, so he quickly stopped thinking about it, but pulled Zhou Hexuan to discuss the sale of American silver together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the amount of 100,000 catties of silver per year is considerable, Sun Zhongshan is still too little, and hopes that Zhou Hexuan can get more than 200,000 catties. Zhou Hexuan agreed, the United States has been flooded with silver, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy silver.

According to the self-regulation of the market, the price of a commodity will fall, which will lead to an automatic reduction in the production of that commodity. However, the American silver group ignored the law of market value and still frantically mined and smelted silver despite the sharp fall in silver prices.

This continued until four years later, when the price of silver in the United States plummeted. When the price of silver fell to the bottom, the silver group used political pressure to force the newly inaugurated Roosevelt to successfully introduce the "Silver Act". This bill led to an increase in the purchasing power of China's silver dollar, but it led to a sharp decline in China's merchandise exports, and a large outflow of Chinese silver, which accelerated the Nationalist government's currency reform.

That is to say, by 1934, Zhou Hexuan could still use the "Silver Act" to make a lot of money.

Putting aside the things that are too far away, the result agreed upon by the two sides at the moment is that Zhou Hexuan will buy 20 catties of American silver every year, and after shipping it to Tianjin, it will be handed over to Sun Zhongshan for disposal. Sun Zhongshan could contact the Tianjin Mint and make the silver into silver dollars (minting money is also a good deal).

In the end, everyone will divide the account fifty-fifty, and no one will suffer. Although Zhou Hexuan's remittances are precious, Sun Zhongshan needs to open up the government's joints and use his own bank to smoothly circulate the new money he creates.

Strictly speaking, it is illegal for them to do this, and no dynasty allows the people to make private money. But now it is the turbulent era of the Republic of China, and there are all kinds of coins, and the central and local governments have no time to take care of them, nor do they have the ability to manage them.

According to the current international silver price, 200,000 catties of American silver were shipped to China to mint, plus the impurities of the coins, the net profit was at least 900,000 silver dollars. However, the Tianjin Mint must have some shares, and it has to pay to feed the officials, and Zhou Hexuan can almost get about 300,000 yuan personally.

Even for a banker like Sun Zhongshan, the net profit of 300,000 yuan a year is enough, not to mention that this money can also increase the reserve silver of his own bank (which is very important for the banker).

Sun Zhongshan negotiated a good deal, and the depression caused by his daughter's marriage was also diluted a lot, and he said happily: "Mr. Zhou, please leave this matter to you!" ”

"There is money to earn together," Zhou Hexuan got up and said, "Farewell!" ”

Sun Zhongshan said, "Let's leave after eating." ”

"No, thank you for your kindness." Zhou Hexuan clenched his fists and left.

Miss Sun didn't leave, anyway, the marriage was already done, she just had to wait to get married.

Walking out of the gate of Sun's house, Li Shoumin said excitedly: "Mingcheng, thanks to your help this time, otherwise it will be difficult for me and Jing Xun to do good things." ”

"When are you going to get married?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"At the beginning of next month, I don't dare to delay it for too long." Li Shoumin said.

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "Mr. Sun, I'm afraid I don't want to delay it for too long, right?" ”

Li Shoumin laughed along, Zhou Hexuan was so damaged that he actually said that Miss Sun was pregnant.

The two chatted all the way, and only after passing the racecourse road did they say goodbye and separate. Li Shoumin still had to go to work at the telephone bureau, and Zhou Hexuan took the car back to his home.

In the evening, Liao Yaquan and Cui Huifu went home from work one after another. As soon as everyone was about to start the meal, Meng Xiaodong suddenly came back from Tianjin.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "When you wean your child, you only break it for half a month?" ”

"Half a month is almost." Meng Xiaodong said.

Zhang Leyi smiled: "She must be reluctant to give up her daughter, go home in advance to see." ”

Meng Xiaodong was a little embarrassed when he was said to be thoughtful, and then smiled: "I heard that my sister was born, so come back and take a look by the way." ”

The two women laughed and went to hug the child, Xiao Lingjun cried when he saw his mother, and pulled Meng Xiaodong's clothes with both hands to drink milk.

"Yes, this half a month's milk is gone." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Meng Xiaodong didn't care about that, and picked up her daughter who hadn't seen her for half a month to breastfeed, she asked, "Has my sister's child been named?" ”

"Not yet." Zhang Leyi said.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Take it, it's called Zhou Wu, the martial arts of martial arts." ”

"When did you pick it up? It's too ugly! Zhang Leyi said unhappily.

"I think it's good." Zhou Hexuan said.

"No matter what, you have to get a new one!" Zhang Leyi strongly objected, why did Meng Xiaodong's daughter have a good name, and her son would choose a random name.

Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly, and it was difficult to settle down if there were too many women.

Wanrong interjected: "I also think Zhou Wu is very difficult to hear, at least I have to add a word in the middle." ”

Zhou Hexuan scratched his ears and cheeks, turned his head to Cui Huifu and said, "Hurry up and think of one." ”

Cui Huifu thought for a while and said, "King Yu Huangwu, there is no such thing as a martyr." How about calling Zhou Liewu? ”

"Zhou Liewu's name is too big, right?" Zhou Hexuan felt inappropriate.

"Yu Huangwu Wang, Wu Wei Lie" is a sentence in the "Book of Songs" praising King Wu of Zhou, and "Lie" means "meritorious deeds". If the child's name is Zhou Liewu, he is simply comparing himself to King Wu of Zhou and wants to establish supreme martial arts.

Cui Huifu asked, "That's called Zhou Weilie?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "It's all the same thing." ”

"Zhou Weilie is good, it's called this, don't change it again!" Zhang Leyi suddenly made a decision.

Zhou Hexuan could only raise his hands in surrender, whatever his wife said was what it was.

Zhang Leyi suddenly became happy, touched her son's little face and said, "Wei Lie, you have a name, don't you sound good?" ”

Zhou Weilie's response was to open his mouth and spit out some white liquid-stuffy milk.

When Zhang Leyi was busy wiping her son's milk, Meng Xiaodong said: "Brother Xuan, I went to Peking this time and made a special trip to visit Mr. Yu Shuyan and wanted to learn art from him. But he has no intention of accepting apprentices, what do you think I should do? ”

"What, can't you be idle?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.

Meng Xiaodong said: "From pregnancy to now, I have been bored at home every day, and I want to go out to learn more things. ”

Meng Xiaodong is already very good at singing now, integrating the strengths of various families, but she still feels that she is not proficient.

As for Yu Shuyan, it is an existence as famous as Mei Lanfang, a Peking Opera master (Yu School) who founded the sect. The Yu faction originated from the Tan faction, so it is also known as the new Tan faction, Meng Xiaodong is proficient in the Tan faction, if you worship the Yu Shuyan gate wall, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings.

Yu Shuyan has stopped singing in recent years, mainly because of his throat, and turned to study Peking Opera theory, publishing several theoretical articles in newspapers from time to time, and his status in the circle is even faintly higher than Mei Lanfang.

It's a pity that this Boss Yu rarely accepts apprentices, in history, Meng Xiaodong has been visiting him for several years, and he finally agreed.

Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't I come to the door in person?" ”

"Yes, yes." Meng Xiaodong nodded again and again, she was waiting for this sentence.

Just when the two went to visit Yu Shuyan's house, the stage play adapted from "Titanic" was finally grandly staged on Broadway in the United States.
