"Your Excellency, we now own 327,000 shares of Mitsui Bank and 102,500 shares of Mitsui Department Store. The company owns 85,000 shares www.biquge.info Iwasaki Shipping Co., Ltd. 50,000 shares each for Nichigan Trading Co., Ltd. and Nihongmaru Trading Co., Ltd., 73,000 shares for Nomura Trading, and 50,000 to 100,000 shares for Iwai Co., Ltd., Itochu Co., Ltd., and Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. ......"

In front of Tang Feipeng, a samurai with the head of the moon generation told Tang Feipeng about the shares they were holding now. It's something that took millions of yen and a lot of hard work to get it.

The shares that others threw out like waste paper were carefully received by Tang Feipeng, and now they have made a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, according to the shares of Mitsui Bank, it can be a ten-point ratio, and it is definitely a shareholder. Mitsui Bank is not all shares of the Mitsui family, but it is headed by the Mitsui family. The overall shares held by the Mitsui family are estimated to be more than half.

With the repeated changes in diplomatic relations between Chen Han and Japan in the past month or two, Tang Feipeng's shares are increasing. He released it, relying on a prescient vision, and threw it in and out of the stall of several diplomatic repeats, and the profit was really not as rich as ordinary.

For example, the 227,000 shares of Mitsui Bank stock he currently holds in his hands are less than 7 yen on average. After the Mitsui family set fire to the stock exchange, the stock price of Mitsui Bank plunged back and forth again, and the trading price in the tavern fell to the point of four or five yuan.

If it weren't for the news that the emperor's pro-Laozi seppuku soon came from Kyoto, which stabilized the "military spirit", it would not be unusual for the price to fall to two or three yuan. Of course, this is also because Tang Feipeng mobilized all the people under his command to pull Mitsui Bank back, sent people to spread rumors, and walked the news that the stock price of Mitsui Bank continued to plummet in one tavern after another, and shouted at the price of two or three yuan to buy Mitsui Bank shares, and also pulled down the overall average price of his own income Mitsui shares.

For more than a month, bilateral relations have been back and forth, and Japan's stock prices have been in the red, but not all of them have fallen without rising. But this turning point is not something that anyone can control, and Tang Feipeng also took advantage of the convenience of communication over there to help him like a god, and he didn't know how much benefit he had from it.

Even Wang Pingbei made a lot of money during this period.

Especially in recent days, the Japanese stock market and economy, which had just fallen into hell, have suddenly risen to heaven. Because the little emperor's own father had a seppuku, several damned ministers either retired or became monks, and the island of Kyushu, which had been cut very hard, became the island of Kyukoku, and China and Japan were peaceful.

This beauty came so quickly and so suddenly that many Japanese people couldn't believe it.

Now that the official peace proclamation had been proclaimed, the Japanese finally believed it. The recovery in the Japanese stock market came vigorously and suddenly. No one thought about the imperial court in Kyoto.

Of course, the little emperor is still the emperor, but it is uncertain whether he will survive to adulthood. There are four major palaces in Japan, and it's not only the Xianyuan Palace that is qualified to inherit the throne? Although the other three families are more distant from the emperor's bloodline.

In addition, Emperor Guangge was also 'represented' to express his apologies and condolences to the families of the Chinese mission members who were killed, and the Tokugawa shogunate then asked for 300,000 yen as compensation, but the Chinese side did not accept it. On the surface, China has corresponding regulations, and only 5,000 yen is taken according to the level of three people, and the three families also have domestic pensions and support. In fact, the rules were formulated by Chen Ming, and if each of the three damned guys could still end up with such a large sum of money, it would make Chen Ming, who made the rules, feel too angry. The next 295,000 yen was donated to civilians who were damaged in the Battle of Edo. This gave Edo a small prestige to China.

But Kagoshima is not so good. Kagoshima is in turmoil right now, and the branches of the Shimazu clan are eyeing the throne of the Shimazu clan.

There is no way, Shimazu Shigehao is hanging like this, and his son Shimazu Qixuan, a little kid who is only three years old, is also dying in a daze. The main line of the Shimazu family is gone! Who made the head of the Shimazu family extinct?

Although the current Satsuma Domain is a puddle of mud, it is difficult to wipe off the shit on its buttocks. But there are still countless people rushing to enjoy the torment of being forced into debt.

Chen Han didn't have the slightest desire to do anything about Kagoshima, and the southeastern sailors who returned south sent Tanegashima and Yakushima back. But if you think about it on your toes, you can figure out that the Tokugawa shogunate will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. This is a great opportunity for them to split the Shimazu family, and it is also an excellent opportunity for them to infiltrate the island of Kyukoku.

But in any case, with the seppuku of the second generation of a certain prince, with the retirement and ordination of the head of the first minister, the culprit of the assassination of the members of the Chinese mission has also been concluded, and even many Japanese themselves feel that this is a shit done by the prince and the stupid ministers who can only rub fat and powder.

The reason is for only one purpose, to kidnap Japan, to kidnap the Tokugawa shogunate, to divert the pressure in order to relieve the burden that comes on themselves these days......

This final 'definition' is still debated, but there seems to be no doubt about who the mastermind of the murder is. The Japanese themselves believe that the public is the murderer.

With the end of a series of events in Kyoto, the tension between China and Japan disappeared at once, and the two sides returned to the old pattern, except that the Japanese opened a new port in Osaka, and this port could only be docked by Chinese merchant ships, and the Dutch could only retreat to the outer islands of Nagasaki.

With the contact of the Sino-Japanese war alarm, I don't want to say what the reaction of the Japanese people is, but only talk about the business community, in the taverns in the streets and alleys of Edo Castle, and then meet the stock merchants who sell Mitsui Bank, and whoever gives an offer that is less than seventeen or eighteen will not be able to open their mouths. The Mitsui family has announced in the newspaper that the Edo Stock Exchange will be rebuilt on the site of the past, and it is absolutely safe to say that a new round of explosion of the Japanese economy is about to begin.

This is the power of war, this is the effect of war.

If before the Sino-Japanese conflict, the Japanese did not have much fear of war, but after such a conflict, the deepest impression left on the memory of the Japanese may not be the tragedy of Kagoshima, but the darkness caused by the bank run and the volatility of the stock market.

How much did this war, which is not a war, cost Japan?

So, when a country's economy is active to a certain extent, don't go to war if it's okay. Unless you can guarantee victory, and promise not to let enemy ships reach your own coastline. Otherwise it would be a tragedy!

The Japanese are now in the right way to prove this truth.

Look at the Netherlands after that? Amsterdam is now the financial center of Europe, firmly surpassing London. But after the end of the North American War, the British pressed the Dutch windmill to the ground and rubbed it steadily for a while, and immediately withered.

Of course, Tang Feipeng wouldn't think of this now, but he knew that he was digging into the corners of Japan, and the yen in his hand had quadrupled in a month, and he believed that the imperial court had buried an inside line in Japan by no means just him. Therefore, the income of the imperial court this time will be an astronomical amount.

"Pay close attention to stock price changes in the market. Feel free to report back to me! ”

"Hello." The head warrior of the Moon Dynasty said respectfully to Tang Feipeng.

Of course, he also knew that Tang Feipeng was harvesting Japan's hard-earned money, but Japanese bushido is like this, they only pay attention to loyalty to their own monarch or group, not their own country. How to judge the superiority of a samurai's behavior is not to give a positive or negative evaluation based on the samurai's behavior that is beneficial to the country.

Japanese bushido is very narrow-minded, a class that values commonality, rather than individuality like European knights. But this commonality of the Japanese samurai is actually much narrower than the knightly spirit of European knights. The spirit of the group nurtured by this 'commonality' is different from the spirit of solidarity in the ordinary sense, and it is by no means a patriotic spirit, and the Japanese samurai are neither loyal to the monarch nor patriotic, they love the samurai group to which they belong.

Including all the Japanese, they evaluate the samurai and reverence for the samurai never by whether they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but by whether they are loyal to their samurai groups, such as the Sanada warriors in the Warring States period and the samurai group that opposed the emperor in the Meiji period, and the Japanese have given very positive evaluations. They were judged not by whether their actions were beneficial to Japan, but by the fact that they were a group of samurai who were loyal to their group and carried out the spirit of bushido.

Just like a puppy, this one is determined to visit the Pure Country Shrine, whether the Japanese are against the worship or in favor of the worship, many people only have political hostility to the dog, but they have some respect for their personality. This is because of the influence of Japanese bushido, because of the values of Japan as a whole. In the eyes of many Japanese people, the dog's behavior is because of his own interest group, and he would rather risk the disapproval of the world, and would rather end his political life after realizing the ideals of his political group. Just like in the modern history of Japan, Kishi Nobusuke and other right-wing figures behaved when they broke through the restrictions on Japan's military in the "Peace Constitution", they directly dissolved the parliament and passed their own proposals, and after passing it, they also fell because of public anger, but after their downfall, many Japanese people respected their personality more and fell themselves, but the right-wing groups represented by the Kishi Nobusuke faction and the Hashimoto faction became stronger, which also made Japan's right-wing figures more daring to break through various restrictions. Nobusuke Nagishi was Ampere's maternal grandfather.

In this philosophy of the Japanese samurai, there is a perverted idea of 'sacrifice' for beauty. The Japanese believe that the most beautiful time for cherry blossoms is not when they are in full bloom, but when they wither, and the cherry blossoms do not bloom for a long time, but one of the characteristics of withering is that all the cherry blossoms in the mountains wither overnight, and not a single flower is nostalgic for the branches. This is the spiritual realm advocated by the Japanese samurai, reaching the peak of their lives in a moment of dazzling beauty, exerting their greatest value, and then ending their lives without nostalgia.

So the 'guts' of these people are generally very great.

They take risks to 'go down', they take risks to gamble, and they commit suicide by breaking their stomachs after failure, not just to atone for their sins or to escape anything, but because they have nothing left to remember in their lives.

It would be like a duel, a duel with an enemy.

They practiced hard to face the duel, and after years of preparation, they finally had this opportunity, and the Japanese samurai would regard this duel as the most glorious moment of their lives, and their lives were to survive by waiting for this duel. Regardless of the outcome after the fight, the defeated samurai committed suicide not because he felt regret and humiliation, but because he felt great satisfaction, felt that his life's goal had been achieved, that he had worked hard, that he had given off the opportunity, and that his life had the greatest brilliance in the duel, and that his life should come to an abrupt end after this brilliance, and there should be no more nostalgia.

This is a kind of awareness that comes from oneself about one's own life, a kind of judgment that oneself has reached the peak, and it is a kind of satisfaction. I have done my best, my wish has ended, and my life can not have greater glory, at this time, it should be like a cherry blossom withering without nostalgia, which is a kind of poignant yearning for the instant withering after life is sublimated to the extreme.

Of course, this kind of 'emotion' is only the purest concept of Japanese samurai. There are hundreds of thousands of samurai families in Japan, but how many of them have such extreme ideas? No one knows. I can only say with certainty that it is not much. Don't think of thousands of samurai as noble. In Japan, the samurai who failed the contest broke their stomachs, and there was not a single 'pure' person out of ten people, more for shame, for escape, and to make their reputation better.

This is the same as the Confucianism passed down by Confucius is benevolent, and the Confucianism passed down by Master Meng is righteous, but in the current era, there are always very few Confucian protégés who have benevolence in their hearts and righteousness in their actions, and there are fewer than rare animals. The same goes for Japanese bushido.

But the Japanese samurai class has this kind of thinking, Tang Feipeng solved people's urgency, saved people from fire and water, and relied on smashing with money, and really found a lot of loyal dogs among the low-level and lower-level samurai in Nagasaki, Osaka, Edo and other places.

For example, the current moon generation head is one of them.

He has a knife in his hand, he knows that Tang Feipeng is just an ordinary person, he knows that Tang Feipeng is colluding with the Chinese government to earn the hard-earned money of the Japanese people, but the higher Tang Feipeng's income, the happier he will be, and he will not have endless anger in his heart, splitting Tang Feipeng in half with a knife.

There must be the reason for China's influence on Japan since ancient times, and there is also the factor of real money and real interests. But in any case, you can't erase the cause of the 'foolish loyalty' concept in the bones of the Japanese samurai. Maybe that's an opening!

In China, these people are 'dogs'. But in Japan, it's called loyalty to the Lord. In a word, the Japanese may not have as much psychological fusion as the Chinese about being a foreigner's dog. The Japanese may have an innate advantage in this regard in their national culture. Hehe, that's my opinion.

Anyway, I heard that the sea lord in the Ming Dynasty, including the Zheng family at the end of the Ming Dynasty, had a large group of loyal Japanese samurai around him, isn't this just a group of dogs.

"Master, if all these stocks can be sold, according to the current market price, they will definitely exceed fifteen million."

How could there be no account room around the rich man, not long after the head of the moon left, the account room around Tang Feipeng was settled. The yen in Tang Feipeng's hand has increased in value by at least tens of millions of yuan so far. More than two months ago. Before entering the market, he had raised four or five million yen on hand, but now fifteen million is less. In the case of Mitsui Bank, the current price is more than 10 yen out of thin air, and Tang Feipeng has more than 300,000 shares in his hand, which is more than 3 million yen. If these tens of millions of yen are exchanged for pure gold, it will be 200,000 taels. A quarter of it belonged to Tang Feipeng's team, and he could get at least half of it himself. The harvest is gratifying.

"Let Qingtian pay attention to the yen exchange ...... in the black market"

The exchange of the Bank of Japan is too cheating, and if Tang Feipeng exchanges the banknotes of Hongguoguo back for a handful of silver, it will be a wretch. But with such a large sum of money, he will not hold it all in his hands. Especially which part of himself he must be exchanged for gold and sent back to the country. And if you want to exchange gold, it is still the most convenient in the black market.

Not only is the amount preferred, but it can also be kept confidential.

Tang Feipeng had a bright smile on his face, "You go and write a report well." I believe that our work will be very recognized by the imperial court. "200,000 taels of gold is only a very small percentage compared to the entire Japanese economy, but Tang Feipeng can earn back so much gold from the stock market, and the chaos in the Japanese stock market can be seen. It is difficult to estimate how many companies have been greatly damaged by themselves in such a chaos, and how huge the specific losses of the Japanese themselves are.

When a country's economy enters a period of vigorous development, whether the country has a number of leading enterprises, the influence is very huge.

For a country, when the torrent of economic development washes over, it would rather have 10 large-scale high-quality enterprises than 100 1,000 small and medium-sized ordinary enterprises.

Among the losses of the Japanese this time, many of their first-class enterprises, represented by the Mitsui family, suffered heavy setbacks. It's hard to say how long it will take to recover. Moreover, the bank run frenzy has affected the entire nascent banking industry in Japan. Not only the Bank of Japan and the Bank of Mitsui, but also the local banks of the local powers. This will greatly dampen Japan's monetary reform, and it will be difficult to avoid whether the Japanese will rekindle their 'nostalgia' for gold and silver coins after the turmoil......
