On the deck of the steamer, Zhou Hexuan crossed Erlang's legs and drank coffee leisurely.

Song Ziwen was a little uneasy, he thought about more things. For example, before he left the United States, he received a secret telegram from Chang Kaishen, in which Lao Chiang asked him to go back and take over the Bank of China and forcibly nationalize the bank, so as to facilitate the smooth implementation of the currency reform.

Historically, Song Ziwen's infamy came from this. His control of the Bank of China was too ugly to be described as cunning and plundering, and since then Song Ziwen has become the spokesman of "bureaucratic capital".

The predecessor of Bank of China was the "Daqing Hubu Bank", and later became the national bank of the Beiyang government. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Beiyang period, the central power declined, and most of the equity fell into the hands of merchants, with the official shareholding ratio far below 50%.

At this moment, the president of the Bank of China is Xu Zhimo's former brother-in-law and Zhang Youyi's fourth brother Zhang Jiaxuan.

From the time when Chang Kaishen had just started the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains War, Zhang Jiaxuan helped raise a lot of military expenses before and after, and the credit and hard work were very great. However, as long as Song Ziwen returns to China this time, Zhang Jiaxuan will be asked to get out of the country immediately, and the Bank of China will be "surnamed Song" from now on.

The silver crisis of 1935 was like a feast for China's national capitalists, but in the eyes of the "four families".

Countless banks have collapsed and countless factories have gone bankrupt, but the "four families" can take advantage of this opportunity to easily seize those banks and factories and turn them into private or public property.

Perhaps, Chang Kaishen and Kong Xiangxi may not be unaware of the trap set by Roosevelt. But they are willing to dive headlong into it, the Americans want to delay time, the British want to delay time, and the four major families probably want to delay time. When China's economy continues to deteriorate, they will be able to come out and pick up the bargain and take the numerous banks and factories into their hands.

Such an insidious mind should have been figured out by Lao Jiang recently, and perhaps there is also the result of Kong Xiangxi's pouting behind it.

Because in Lao Chiang's view, now that the Japanese have entered the game, and the British also want to help, it is impossible for the Americans to ignore it, and the Chinese silver crisis will definitely be able to get through, it is only a matter of time. Now that there is no danger, now that the overall situation has been decided, why not take the opportunity to do something else?

This is just like Roosevelt's New Deal, at the beginning everyone worked together, and when the US economy eased up a little, the major consortia immediately came up with other ideas.

Lao Jiang must have been very panicked at the beginning, and it was also sincere to invite Zhou Hexuan to the United States to do something, and he really wanted to solve the silver crisis. But Zhou Hexuan did a good job and successfully stirred up the three countries of Britain, the United States and Japan, so Lao Jiang felt that he had no worries and could cut wheat without hurrying.

If Zhou Hexuan goes to the UK this time and can persuade the British to help as soon as possible, Lao Jiang is probably still very unhappy in his heart, thinking that Zhou Hexuan is nosy with rats.

Lao Jiang is really not a fool, people are very good at calculus. Zhou Hexuan could see Roosevelt's scheme, how could Lao Jiang really be fooled? It's just a hand-to-hand push.

The current development of China's economic situation is very much in line with the interests of the US Government and is also proceeding in accordance with the British Government's plan, which is even more conducive to Lao Chiang and Kong Xiangxi's abuse of power for personal gain. Only the Japanese were tricked from beginning to end, while Chinese entrepreneurs, financiers, and the general public were also miserable.

Song Ziwen asked Zhou Hexuan for a cigarette, lit it silently and smoked, he has never smoked, but he seems to have become addicted to smoking recently.

Yes, Song Ziwen is struggling. He felt that Chang Kaishen and Kong Xiangxi's calculations were too dirty, so dirty that they couldn't be put on the table, more disgusting than ever, and even more disgusting than the previous indiscriminate issuance of military debts.

At the same time, Song Ziwen couldn't help but be tempted again, and the demon named Greed crawled out from the depths of his soul and began to gradually dominate his thoughts. According to Chang Kaishen and Kong Xiangxi's plan, as long as nothing happens, the "four families" will completely control China's economy in the future, and they can easily own countless banks and factories.

Song Ziwen in history did not embezzle, but his behavior was worse than corruption, which is called completely legal forcible seizure.

Song Ziwen's conscience was throbbing, and the sense of shame was all over his body, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Why did Song Ziwen resign last year? Because he didn't have the face to see the business people again.

Song Ziwen once lowered his face again and again and promised to get money from businessmen, but Chang Kaishen broke this promise again and again.

He swore that as long as I Soong Ziwen was in office, the government would no longer borrow money from various business groups for civil war and government expenses.

After saying this, Song Ziwen went abroad to investigate, and when he came back, Chang Kaishen was issuing bonds again. This is tantamount to slapping Song Ziwen in the face, making him exhaust the last trace of credibility in China's industrial and commercial circles, and no businessman dares to believe what Song Ziwen said.

Now, if he follows Chang Kaishen's plan, Song Ziwen must raise the butcher's knife against the merchants he once treacherously trusted.

Song Ziwen's entanglement is that he has to do this. In private, he can't resist the temptation, the temptation to lie down and pick up money; Yu Gong, China's economy is in chaos, and he must also come out to clean up the mess.

Well, having said so much, in fact, Song Ziwen has completely agreed with Lao Jiang's plan, but he is a little embarrassed, because the means are too dirty.

I'm embarrassed, I'm sorry, when Song Ziwen started to move, he didn't have any softness, and he killed many businessmen.

In 1935, China officially entered the "Chiang Dynasty", and the "bureaucratic capital" completely controlled China, and the "four families" began to reach their peak.

Song Ziwen was smoking a cigarette, and while he was entangled, he was already thinking about how to get rid of Zhang Jiaxuan, the president of the Bank of China.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Song Ziwen asked, "Brother Mingcheng, how do you plan to persuade the British Minister of Finance?" ”

Zhou Hexuan asked rhetorically, "Do you know anything about Montague Clay Norman?"

"The King of Finance?" Song Ziwen was a little surprised, and said with reverence, "I was fortunate enough to see him once, but I was far away and didn't have a chance to talk to him." I've heard from friends that this Mr. Norman is a bit neurotic, extremely egotistical, and a hard-nosed conservative when it comes to finances. ”

"Do you think I can convince him?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Song Ziwen smiled: "I don't know if you can convince Mr. Norman, but as long as you convince him, you will definitely be able to convince the British Chancellor of the Exchequer." And as long as Mr. Norman does not agree, even if you convince the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Britain will not necessarily come to China's aid. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Zhou Hexuan didn't know anything else, but he knew one thing. Historically, the currency reform of the Republic of China was initially promoted by the British government, and according to Song Ziwen, then Montague Norman must have been a supporter of it.

Zhou Hexuan didn't speak again, only thinking about how to meet Norman.

Song Ziwen saw that Zhou Hexuan was trying his best to run for the silver crisis, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was really embarrassed, Zhou Hexuan was trying to solve the problem, but he was thinking about how to reap the benefits.

Well, it's still the same sentence, I'm sorry to be embarrassed. Song Ziwen will definitely not be soft in the face of huge interests, at most...... Give Zhou Hexuan a little compensation.

Song Ziwen suddenly asked: "Brother Mingcheng, I have a few good businesses, do you want to join a joint venture?" ”

Zhou Hexuan looked at Song Ziwen in surprise, such an abrupt question made him feel very bad - Song Ziwen definitely had something to hide from him, and most of them still had Chang Kaishen's shadow in it.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Okay, let's make money together." ”
