Chapter 1053 Laughing at the Storm

In the face of the snowflakes of congratulatory telegrams and the endless stream of congratulatory visitors, no matter how humble An Yi is, he can't hide the smile from the bottom of his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, after listening to Yang Bin's words and bringing Gong Qian over, plus Ye Qing, who came to cover the five meetings together, helped on the side, An Yi, the youngest executive member of the Central Committee, finally spent three days to usher in the officialdom social career that he was sent to.

During the meeting, more than a dozen newspapers, including Ta Kung Pao and Oriental News, whose boss had just been assassinated by the Military Command Bureau, and Bao Bao, whose boss had just been assassinated by the Military Command Bureau, jointly sent five telegrams to the meeting protesting against the central government's press control and restrictions on the rights of journalists, and demanding legislation to protect press freedom and protect the legitimate rights and personal safety of journalists.

Naturally, An Yi was a strong supporter of this, and twice readily agreed to the requests of Chinese and foreign reporters during the break of the meeting, clearly expressing his support for the legitimate rights and interests of journalists, and for this purpose, he submitted his first formal proposal to the Fifth Central Committee meeting since he became a member of the Central Executive Committee.

An Yi's move was immediately supported and praised by almost all the news media in the country, and under the behind-the-scenes impetus of He Jing, the National Press Association, the Press Association, and the Young Journalists Association immediately launched a huge publicity and petition campaign, forcing the Fifth Conference to make a solemn promise: to enact the "Press Bill" within three months.

Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei saw all this, and the two of them were extremely envious of An Yi's good relationship with the press, so they were secretly vigilant and paid close attention to it.

Chiang Kai-shek had already known through the intelligence agencies in his hands that the "Oriental Bloc," which was funded and registered by Americans, and jointly managed by three newspaper and film giants of the Chinese-Americans, He Jing, Zhuang Fengshuo, and Liu Hong, had a very close relationship with An Yi, but Chiang Kai-shek still believed that An Yi's relationship with the "Eastern Bloc" was purely an economic cooperative relationship, and An Yi, who was in a high position and was pervasive in making money, and had endless means, did not seem to have any need to cooperate with the "Eastern Bloc" in many aspects other than political economy There are too many connections.

For a long time, one of the main newspapers and magazines of the "Oriental Bloc" and the two magazines with the largest circulation in the country have scrupulously adhered to the principle of neutrality and basically acted objectively and impartially on the facts and issues that have occurred in any political party or any group, including the Beijing branch of the "Oriental News," and from time to time published the contents of interviews conducted by reporters stationed in Peiping with officials of the Japanese embassies and consulates. This newspaper will publish it, and it will also offer the highest remuneration in the newspaper industry, and eight big characters are printed in the eye-catching place of the column page all year round: A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom!

In addition, An Yi now has his own radio station, with the "Sanjiang Daily" with a rapidly rising circulation and the "Southwest Business Daily" with a national circulation focusing on industry and commerce. On the contrary, influential newspapers such as "Declaration", "Times", and "Ta Kung Pao", and even the government-affiliated "Central Daily" praised An Yi more often, and were more keen to publicize the various achievements of southern Sichuan and every righteous act of An Yi. For a long time, An Yi never wrote an article in any newspaper criticizing the experiences of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, and the central government, nor did he pat anyone's sycophants, but only published one or two military analysis articles under the pseudonym of "Yi An" for a long time, and these articles usually attracted the attention of Chinese and foreign military circles, and were also deeply valued by Chiang Kai-shek.

Therefore, Xu En twice reported to Chiang Kai-shek that An Yi's relationship with the "Eastern Bloc" was very complicated and needed to be closely monitored, and Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to make a big fuss, and compared with those political enemies with ill intentions, as well as the generals and government officials under his command who tried to boast about themselves, An Yi had done a very good job. Therefore, even if Chiang Kai-shek knew the real relationship between An Yi and the "Eastern Bloc", he would not do anything to him, and Chiang Kai-shek did not want to see those newspapers with a clear-cut position full of gunpowder scolding articles.

From this point of view, the newspapers and magazines of the "Eastern Bloc" seem to be more to Chiang Kai-shek's liking, unless An Yi opposes him through public opinion.

On the afternoon of 14 December, after the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee of the Kuomintang finally came to an end, and after the declaration of "resolutely following the right political track, seeking reunification and peace, enriching national strength, and saving the country and trying to survive," Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, Sun Ke, Yu Youren, Dai Chuanxian, Ding Weifen, and Ju Zheng, eight members of the presidium, took a group photo with nine members of the Central Executive Committee, including Yan Xishan, Zhu Peide, and An Yi, and 56 members of the Central Committee.

On the third day of the meeting, that is, on 11 December, the Central Red Army fought to the end with more than 80,000 people, as An Yi had predicted, and only more than 30,000 people were left to break out of the encirclement and plunge headlong into the deep mountains of the Liping area in eastern Qiandong.

On the twelfth, Xue Yue's eight divisions marched into the first line of Huang County (now Xinhuang), Yuping, and Tianzhu north of Liping, and Liu Jianxu's six divisions pursued unhurriedly and slowly, firmly sealing the way for the remnants of the Red Army to go north and to the east again, forcing the Red Army to fight a way out of the west, and for a time there was a lot of rumors in Guizhou, and the rich and big landowners from all walks of life rushed to flee to the two cities of Xufu and Kunming, which were the safest in their minds, and even Zhu Peide, who was sitting next to An Yi during the meeting, couldn't help but quietly ask twice:" Do you think the Red Army will run into our territory and toss? ”

After a group of prominent politicians who dominated the fate of the Republic of China finished taking pictures, Chiang Kai-shek immediately received a report on the war situation from his proud disciple Yu Jishi, and happily, loudly reported the victory to everyone:

"Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Anhui border areas suppressed bandit army Yu Jishi's department broke the Red Bandit Seventh Army Fang Zhimin and other troops in Tanjiaqiao, Taiping County, southern Anhui, and the commander of the Red Bandit Tenth Army Xun Weizhou was killed by Wang Yaowu's brigade!"

Wang Jingwei excitedly said that tomorrow he would organize another 10,000-person celebration meeting and call on all parts of the country to join the central government in celebrating the victory of the crackdown on bandits and the complete success of the Fourth and Fifth Sessions!

Everyone immediately echoed the voice, and Chiang Kai-shek said that he would give Yu Jishi and meritorious soldiers a telegram of commendation.

An Yi looked at it with a smile on the side, but did not say anything, he suddenly felt that all this in front of him was so unreal, just like sitting on the rostrum for five days of the meeting and looking down on hundreds of deputies and committee members, it felt like an old black and white movie he had watched in the past, and there was a trace of irony and funny in the illusion.

The next celebration dinner was very lively, and the two amorous beauties around An Yi, Gong Qian and Ye Qing, were invited guests to the banquet, but Gong Qian is now a special representative of the cultural, educational, scientific and health circles in southern Sichuan, and Ye Qing is a special guest of the press.

The party-state veterans in the banquet all knew the sister-brother relationship between Gong Qian, the girl and An Yi, and saw Gong Qian caring about helping An Yi block the toast and let him drink less, they were very understanding, and thought that this was a matter of course.

Ye Qing is different, this mature and sexy Jiangnan girl, as long as she is with An Yi, she will attract many people's ambiguous smiles, so Ye Qing is calm on the surface, but secretly annoyed in her heart. In the past few nights, she and Gong Qian have lived in the special villa of An Yi of the Nanjing headquarters of An Jiajun in Houzai Lane, and every night she saw An Yi, who had been busy all day, still in the study on the second floor, talking with Zhao Rui and other generals in the fourth hall in the second half of the night, she was very dissatisfied and distressed, but when she remembered that An Yi quietly lay down beside her with a bad smile when she was drowsy, and hugged herself with his strong and warm arms, all the resentment in her heart disappeared, and it was too late for love to be angry.

Zhang Jingjiang, the head of the party-state who was not in good health, was also invited to attend the dinner today, the veteran of the Kuomintang who was excluded from the Central Executive Committee more than five years ago was very calm and indifferent, and saw An Yi finish walking around, returned to sit opposite him again, nodded with great satisfaction, and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Yi, you are the youngest member of the Central Executive Committee in the history of our party! What do you think? Stressed? ”

An Yi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he sat on the sofa on Zhang Jingjiang's right hand, smiled at Gong Qian, who was accompanying Zhang Jingjiang in the conversation, and then said in a low voice:

"Don't talk about the pressure, I don't even feel it, to be honest, when several deans and President Jiang made work reports, the juniors fell asleep with their eyes open, but they were tired and panicked at night."

Zhang Jingjiang was stunned for a moment, then pointed at An Yi and laughed heartily, Gong Qian pursed her lips happily, and carefully supported Zhang Jingjiang, and several old guys around saw Zhang Jingjiang and the young political upstart An Yi smiling so happily together, they all showed an envious smile, and nodded to An Yi and Zhang Jingjiang.

Zhang Jingjiang wiped his eyes after laughing: "You, you, you are very similar to what I felt when I was young, haha!" Let's stop talking about this boring topic, let's talk about something else. I heard from my subordinates that you plan to sell all the properties in the Shanghai Concession, including your Yiyuan, is there such a thing? ”

"Well, there is such a thing, but now it is the first to release the wind, causing a high degree of attention from the capital market, and if you really want to sell, you have to wait for the second half of next year, and the younger generation estimates that the real estate in Shanghai will rise to the highest peak in ten years at that time, and then make a sale, and the profit will be greater." An Yi answered truthfully.

Zhang Jingjiang bowed slightly, without any surprise on his face, he knew that An Yi, a genius who was rare in a century, could not be measured by common sense, so he very much believed that An Yi had a good reason to do so:

"I have also heard that you have made Liu Chengfu, who almost unified Sichuan last year, angry, and that Liu Chengfu took the opportunity of suppressing bandits and announced the issuance of 120 million yuan of public bonds for the suppression of bandits without the consent of Liu Wenhui, the provincial chairman, but on the second day of his announcement, in the name of the Southwest Bank of China, you raised the deposit interest rate by 1.5 percentage points, causing a large amount of silver dollars to flow into the Southwest Bank, and even Shanghai and other places were shaken by it.

"I know that you are doing this for the good of the people of Sichuan, but I don't know if you have thought about it, this move not only offended Liu Chengfu and those generals in Sichuan who are bent on making a fortune, but also seriously affected the country's financial market, making Yongzhi and Ziwen so worried that they don't know what to do. Have you thought about this beforehand? ”

An Yi smiled disapprenosingly: "The current financial market, even if I don't make a move, it will naturally go into chaos." Since the passage of the U.S. Silver Act at the end of May, the outflow of silver has become a grim reality, and if I do not raise the deposit rate appropriately, it is estimated that my Southwestern Bank will also close its doors...... However, this is not all from my idea, but the result of collective efforts, not only repeated consideration and confirmation, but also a series of countermeasures for possible negative impacts, I believe that the younger generation and Yongzhi and Mr. Zi Wenji will discuss in detail tomorrow, they will also support it. You can rest assured that you can always do this! If you don't believe me, my sister has attended several meetings. ”

Zhang Jingjiang was slightly surprised, turned his head and saw his goddaughter Gong Qian nodding gently, and immediately understood that her goddaughter had an extremely important position in An Yi Group, and she was not just helping her younger brother do chores as the outside world thought. Zhang Jingjiang then laughed, not dwelling too much on this issue, but asked An Yi happily: "Okay, you give me an idea, in the recent period, what is a good way to make a fortune and maintain value?" ”

An Yi looked at Gong Qian, and then looked at Zhang Jingjiang: "You are old ...... Got it all? ”

"Alas! As early as two months ago, Gong Yatou asked me to help pay attention to those national treasure-level antique calligraphy and paintings, and I guessed it. Boy, don't you have confidence in the monetary reform carried out by the central government? Zhang Jingjiang asked.

An Yi shook his head: "I have confidence, the younger generation just wants to do a little business with my sister, and use idle funds to recover antique calligraphy and paintings, especially the national treasures that have fallen into the people." You have also seen it, Yu Lao (Yu Youren) lost his temper at the meeting this time, and even the former director of our Palace Museum fled to the Japanese, you can imagine how many national treasures have flowed into the hands of the Japanese, and the younger generation will not make a move, and I can't bear it! Making money and maintaining value is secondary, the main thing is to preserve the historical, artistic and cultural treasures handed down by the ancestors as much as possible. ”

Zhang Jingjiang gave a thumbs up with relief: "Okay!" Boy, I'm not mistaken, keep doing it! My old bones can still move, and there are still a few thin noodles in various places, so I will quietly mobilize new and old friends to help you with this, and put these hot things on your territory, and I am also relieved. ”

"Thank you for being old, come, the younger generation will give you a drink...... You drink tea, juniors drink! Dry! ”
