"Fugong, Lu Zongyu is about to come to Shanghai from Yanjing."

Early in the morning, Luo Yaoguo had just finished washing up under Lin Yiyao's service, dressed up, and was having breakfast. Dai Li, the future spy leader, hurriedly ran in and sent the information that Yanjing had just sent.

Lu Zongyu? Isn't it one of the three unlucky guys on May Fourth? One of the bosses of the new transportation department, who has long been a notorious figure, came out to do something?

"What?" Luo Yaoguo was stunned when he heard this, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and frowned slightly: "What is his identity now?" ”

Dai Li replied: "Lu Zongyu has just taken over as the premier of the Bank of Communications, and his visit to Shanghai this time may be related to the departure and stay of the Bank of Communications. ”

"Oh." Luo Yaoguo nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "This person has always been a pro-Yue faction, and he also presides over the China Huiye Bank, which is jointly established by the Chinese People's Republic of China, and it is not surprising that he has now taken refuge in the same pro-Feng faction, by the way, Cao Rulin is also in Shanghai now, right?" ”

"Yes, Cao Rulin is still in Shanghai in the name of filial piety." Dai Li nodded, and said: "In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, Cao Rulin's father died, and he went south to protect the coffin, and has been living in the Shanghai Concession since then. This time, the Anhui system retreated north to Shandong, and he did not follow. ”

"Okay, I got it." Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly and began to eat breakfast again. However, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and it was obvious that Lu Zongyu's purpose of going south must be related to the fiat currency turmoil and run on the currency this time. It seems that it is necessary to make a quick decision and take down the Bank of China as soon as possible, it is the current boss of the Bank of China, and with it remaining in Shanghai, even if the Bank of Communications retreats north, it will not affect the status of Shanghai's financial center.

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo hurriedly ate some snacks, and asked Lin Yiyao to stay at the headquarters to contact the youth party in Yanjing and ask them what information they had. Then he drove to the Kong Xiangxi Mansion in the French Concession to discuss countermeasures with the two gods of wealth.

……

When Luo Yaoguo arrived, there happened to be a guest in the Confucian Mansion. It turned out to be Mayor Zhang Jingjiang and Chen Guangfu of Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank. After Chen Guangfu came into contact with Zhang Jingjiang, he made up his mind to defect to the Kuomintang rightists. Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank will be the first to announce today that it will accept fiat currency deposits and loans.

"Here comes the text. Let me introduce you to Mr. Chen Guangfu, a well-known banker. Zhang Jingjiang, who was in a wheelchair, was in a good mood, and as soon as he saw Luo Yaoguo walking into the living room, he enthusiastically introduced Chen Guangfu to him.

"Mr. Chen, it's a good thing, it's a good luck." Luo Yaoguo saw a man with a high head and fair skin standing up to greet him, and knew that he was Chen Guangfu, so he stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and said: "Sir's Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank is famous, and it has developed from a small bank of 70,000 yuan to a first-class big bank, which is really admirable." ”

Chen Guangfu nodded at Luo Yaoguo and smiled slightly: "I have admired the general's name for a long time in Xia, and it is really a blessing to see him today, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." ”

As soon as Luo Yaoguo sat down, before he could mention Lu Zongyu's coming south, Song Ziwen preemptively opened his mouth: "This time, Guangfu's Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank has decided to be the first to implement fiat currency in Shanghai, so we have decided to vigorously support the Commercial Savings Bank and make it the first largest bank in China." ”

"However, the number of places supported this time is limited after all." Kong Xiangxi continued Song Ziwen's words, and he said: "Now the five South China and Nanyang Chinese Commercial Banks in Guangdong, East Asia, Hefeng, Huaqiao, and Zhongxing each have a capital of more than 20 million legal currency, and they can be ranked among the largest banks in China without our capital injection, and now they have taken up five places. ”

"Oh." Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly, and said in his heart that these banks were originally only two or three million capital, but he didn't expect to raise ten times the funds from overseas Chinese in Nanyang in a short period of time, and surpass the Bank of China in an instant. It can be seen that the overseas Chinese in Nanyang are not without money, nor are they unwilling to come back to invest, but the chaotic situation in China over the years has indeed not been able to give them a stable environment. Now that the war in the south has just subsided, and their capital has been flowing back, it seems that there is still some hope for the country.

"Fuwen, now there are only five banks left to support." Zhang Jingjiang looked at Luo Yaoguo and said with a smile: "Bank of China and Bank of Communications must be on the list, and there are many influential banks left, such as the South Third Bank, the North Fourth Bank, the Small Fourth Bank, etc., the competition for three places is a bit fierce, I wonder if Fuwen and Guangfu are interested in cooperating?" ”

"Jing Lao means to merge China Commerce Bank and Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank?" Luo Yaoguo understood what Zhang Jingjiang meant, and nodded slightly: "I have no opinion on this matter, I don't know what Mr. Chen is doing?" However, I would like to state one thing first: The China International Commercial Bank now has the capital of the Military Intelligence Bureau in it, and it is inevitable that there will be some shady fund transfers in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo looked at Chen Guangfu again, and saw that he was silent, so he smiled again: "In addition, all operations can be handed over to Mr. Chen, and we soldiers and spies will never ask, and we can't manage this bank." I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks? ”

Chen Guangfu was obviously mentally prepared, and he said with a smile: "I, Chen Guangfu, don't care who the shareholders are, I only know how to serve the shareholders." There is no problem with the passage of the CIA's funds through our banks, as long as they do not harm the interests of shareholders and other depositors. ”

"Well, in that case, I would like to ask Mr. Chen to take over the business of Commerce Bank as soon as possible, and Mr. Chen will also be responsible for the accounting cleaning and settlement of the merger of the two banks." Seeing that there is said to be the best banker in China to take over, Luo Yaoguo is naturally happy to be the shopkeeper, in fact, his original plan was to find a professional manager in the banking industry to manage.

Next, Luo Yaoguo, Chen Guangfu, Zhang Jingjiang and the two gods of wealth discussed and formulated the general method of merging the two banks.

The first step is to check the accounts and calculate the actual total and net assets of the two banks. This is then used as a basis to determine the shareholding ratio of both shareholders. The next step is to merge the management and business of the two banks. The initial idea is that the commercial shares will be expanded to 5 million yuan, and the Ministry of Finance will inject another 5 million official shares, so that the new bank will become a large bank with a capital of 10 million. At the same time as the merger and the increase of capital and shares, the new China International Commercial Bank will also fully implement fiat currency and accept large fiat currency deposits from the central bank.

……

After sending Chen Guangfu away, Kong Xiangxi saw that Luo Yaoguo did not leave, so he knew that something was wrong. He smiled and asked, "Fuwen, is there something going on in the north?" ”

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said in a low voice: "Lu Zongyu has become the prime minister of the Bank of Communications, and he is ready to leave south to find trouble for us." ”

"Lu Zongyu?" Kong Xiangxi shook his head, in fact, he didn't take this guy who had already passed the anger seriously in his heart. Kong Xiangxi squinted and smiled: "What can he do if he comes to Shanghai now?" Could it be that with his old face, the shareholders of the Bank of Communications will fight with us to the end? ”

"What does Mr. Ziwen think?" Luo Yaoguo did not answer Kong Xiangxi, but turned his head and asked Song Ziwen, who was speechless, and he said, "Is it still possible for them to prevent the issuance of fiat currency now?" ”

"Blocking fiat?" Song Ziwen smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid this is no longer realistic, but he must have a conspiracy when he came south, and it is impossible that he came to support us." ”

Zhang Jingjiang, who was sitting on the side at this time, suddenly snorted, he shook his head and said, "I think Lu Zongyu is not here to stop the fiat currency this time, he is here to cheer us on." Sometimes the power of praise is greater than fighting, and when they saw that it was impossible to suppress us, they changed it to praise. Didn't we kill Feng Yuxiang a while ago, but now we have put Feng Zhang in the furnace? Now people should give back to others in their own way. ”

"Tick bell—" The phone rang.

Kong Xiangxi hurriedly picked up the microphone and asked, "I'm Kong Xiangxi, who are you, oh, what?" What did you say? Bank of Communications and North Fourth Bank Announce Support for Fiat Currency Reform? Yanjing Zhengaxe announced the injection of capital into the Bank of Communications and the North Fourth Bank? Do you want to advance together between the north and the south, and the middle is said to carry it out? ”
