Lushan Zhaoling, on both sides of the Changchong River that meanders and meanders away, a novel Western-style building is hidden in a green shade, looming. ,

Luo Yaoguo's villa is located in it, which is an English-style villa half hidden in the village forest and half exposed to the sun. Because it had just rained heavily the previous day, as soon as the sun came out today, it made the fog steam, and the whole villa seemed to be wrapped in clouds and smoke, which added a bit of mystery.

Lushan Zhaoling is the most ideal summer resort for the rich and noble people in the south in summer, and it is also the so-called summer capital of the Kuomintang.

In the summer, the thousands of well-structured luxury villas around the Muling Changchong Valley will welcome their respective owners. The leaders of the entire southern country gather here in this season.

At this time, Lushan is no longer a summer resort, but also a stage for people to make friends, plan various behind-the-scenes transactions, and show various political skills.

However, Luo Yaoguo did not take this opportunity to conduct a big campaign among leaders from all walks of life in the southern country. Most of the time is spent in his villa, except for a few official duties, that is, to accompany his family, and also to meet some business partners.

This afternoon, the sound of cicadas is like weaving, under the shade of the village in the backyard of the Luo family's villa. A round table was set up with several chilled bottles of Coca-Cola, and several bamboo couches around the round table. Luo Yaoguo wore a silk gown, revealing two muscular wealthy arms, and leaned on the bamboo couch in it. He still holds a folding fan in his hand and shakes it gently. On the other bamboo couch beside him, there were already more than thirty, but the second aunt Taima Jiaoli, who was quite well maintained, was dressed in an Indian silk cheongsam and was sitting in a proper manner. With a calm and stern appearance of looking at the nose and nose and asking the heart, and not squinting, you can know that there are guests at a glance. Otherwise, this woman would have stuck to Luo Yaoguo's side a long time ago, and the guest was Chen Guangfu, the general manager of China International Commercial Bank, and Luo Yaoguo's big treasurer in finance. Chief Adviser Luo, who has a lot of opportunities, doesn't have time to manage personal finance, and most of the Luo family's Wanguan family wealth is managed by Chen Guangfu, and some is managed by the second aunt Taima Jiaoli. Now that the two of them are in charge of money, they are together, and the topic of discussion is naturally inseparable from a Qian Yu.

ļ¼Žļ¼Ž Assistant, I have invested all the money in your account with our Commerce Bank. The main ones are China Military Industry, China Shipbuilding, China Iron and Steel, and our own stocks of Commerce Bank. These stocks were bought at a low price during the private placement, and now there are four or five times the return. These companies have been on the rise since they went public in the United States, but they fell slightly when the prime minister died, but now they have all risen again. Now your total assets in our Commerce & Finance Bank account have crossed 3 million fiat dollars, not including the 5% of Commerce Bank shares held by your family business, which is worth tens of millions of dollars. Chen Guangfu helped his glasses, held an account book in his hand, and was there to introduce Luo Yaoguo to the income of investment and financial management one by one. Of course, every one of them is a big profit, and it is some insider trading and low-cost private placement, if it is placed in any capitalist country in the future, it is almost illegal. However, at present, the laws and regulations formulated by the Nationalist Government do not care much about this, even the laws of imperialism.

ļ¼Žļ¼Ž There is already so much money" Luo Yaoguo muttered softly, with a somewhat satisfied smile on his face, and his eyes turned to Ma Jiali, who was drinking a cold soda on the side.

Ma Jiali hurriedly put down the soda bottle in her hand and smiled at her husband: Although my skills are not as good as Mr. Chen, the houses we bought in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai have also increased by four or five times! And in the past two days, Beijing and Tianjin have been making a revolution again, and all the gods of wealth are going south, which is going even faster. Especially the houses in Hong Kong are rising in price almost every day, and the money you gave me to buy the houses is no less than two million now. At this point, the girl glanced at Chen Da Banker, and seemed to have some doubts about his financial management level.

Really, Chen Da Banker did a good job, but he couldn't stand the blessing of the gods of Chinese G in the second aunt.

Well, the revolution in the north came together, and the rich people in Beijing and Tianjin rushed to the south. I didn't feel safe when I ran to Shanghai, but most of them went to the incense under the control of the British. This house in Hong Kong has almost doubled in just one month, making the second aunt too ruthless to make a fortune, and even crossed a certain genius banker. ,

It seems that the element of luck is still very important in investing in this kind of thing.

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile: .. Guangfu, delicate. Liquidate all the shares in my name by October. The shares of the Commerce Bank, including the shares held by my family's Lingnan Wood Company, and the shares held by the Military Intelligence Agency's Nanhai Industrial, were also sold. In addition, Commerce Bank will also have to liquidate all of its stock investments, and its pledge loans for stocks will also be tightened. Investments are mainly shifted to bonds.

Jiaoli, Hong Kong and Shanghai houses will also be sold by October. The money received is deposited in US dollars in the account of the Bank of Commerce. ā€

Chen Guangfu's eyes flashed, and there was a little more doubt: "Auxiliary Shuai, what is going on?" Isn't it going to be a war again? As soon as Chen Guangfu's words came out, he felt that something was inappropriate, and he shook his hand hurriedly: "I'm not trying to inquire about any military secrets. ā€

"Hmph, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, we just have to do it." Ma Jiali snorted with a pout.

Luo Yaoguo glanced at some of his wives, and arched his hand at Chen Guangfu: "Jiaoli is not sensible, don't be like her." As for what is going to happen. Luo Yaoguo wandered for a while, gritting his teeth: "There are some things to happen, but I can't help it." In short, if we want to realize stocks and real estate, we should also hint at the consortium close to us. It is not a good thing that there will be a big event in October 1929.

Chen Guangfu took a deep breath and solemnly hugged his fist at Luo Yaoguo: "The assistant marshal trusts Guangfu so much, and values our financial community so much, which really makes Guangfu grateful. It's just that if we leak this news, will G be aware of anything? When the time comes."

ā€œgļ¼Ÿā€ Luo Yaoguo was stunned when he heard this, knowing that the other party was thinking about it, he smiled and waved his hand: "This time the matter is and." It doesn't matter at all, if it were them, how would I let them sell the lost Hong Kong property and military stocks? But there must be something big to happen, so we just have to sell it, and we won't keep it. ā€

October 1929 was the beginning of the American financial crisis, which would kick off the Great Depression. However, Luo Yaoguo couldn't refrain from saying it explicitly, so he could only be so vague, pretending to make a mysterious hint. Actually, maybe it's better, right? If those Chinese capitalists can get some inspiration from this and reduce their holdings as soon as possible, it should also be good for China's economy, right?

It was the height of summer, the sun was baking the Zhili Plain like a furnace, and the heat in Beijing was unbearable. The Central Committee of the Central Committee, which has been in charge of Beijing for a period of time, also went to Xiangshan in the west of Beijing for the past two days to escape the summer, and once again lived in a Shuangqing villa hidden in a verdant side.

During this time, tensions in the north seem to have calmed down somewhat. After the Northeast Army, the Jin Army, the Al-Shabaab, and the Mongol Seventh Route Army openly allied, the Zhongg temporarily abandoned any attempt to put pressure on Yan Xishan. Instead, he devoted his main energies to the land reform of Zhili and Chahar, the reorganization of the Third Group Army, the construction of the Baotou heavy industrial base, and the takeover of the two large cities of Beijing and Tianjin.

"Prime Minister, Mr. Zhang Naiqi has arrived." Zhao Cyan didn't know when he walked into the conference room where the meeting was being held, and muttered softly in Zhou Lai's ear. Now that he came up next week, he personally took on the post of prime minister, so the top leaders of the middle 6 called him the prime minister. In addition, he also held the two most important positions in the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the General Political Commissar of the Third and Fourth Group Armies. In this time and space, China G entered Beijing almost smoothly, and naturally there was no Zunyi Conference or the noble prestige of the Long March to establish Mao Chi in the village. Zhou Lai, as in history, became the soul of Zhong G during this time.

Zhou came up and nodded to the head: .. Invite him in, we have something to ask him about this financial expert. ā€

After a while, Zhang Naiqi, who was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, hurriedly walked in under the guidance of Zhao Cyan. "Naiqi, please take a seat, please take a seat." Zhou came up and waved at Zhang Naiqi enthusiastically, motioning for him to sit beside him. The conference rooms of the Central Committee of the Central Committee were not as formal as those of the Kuomintang. It's just a few rattan chairs and a few coffee tables against the wall.

"The prime minister's job has not been done well, I'm sorry everyone." Zhang Naiqi walked to Zhou Lai's side, but did not sit down, but apologized solemnly.

Zhou Lai smiled wryly and waved his hand: This thing is not to blame, if you want to blame it, sail... The right wing of the Kuomintang is reactionary. He originally wanted to blame the Kuomintang for not keeping its credibility, but after thinking about it, it was not right, and now the Beijing government does not recognize the legal status of the Kuomintang Central Committee and the Nationalist Government in Wuhan at all. Now the situation of the two parties seems to be a bit too much, and we should want to communicate with each other on a case-by-case basis.

Zhang Naiqi sighed and sat down on the empty rattan chair beside Zhou Lai. This seat has always been Mao Chi sitting, but Mao Z has been sitting in the past two days. Not in Shuangqing Villa, but went to Zhili to inspect rural work. Until now, Mao Chibu has not changed the hope of the Chinese revolution and the view that the key lies in the countryside, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will be concerned with the rural areas and land reform work.

Zhou came up and took a sip of water from the teacup, and asked: "Naiqi, where are the main difficulties of northern Shaanxi Energy now?" ā€

Zhang Naiqi smiled bitterly: "There are two main problems, one is that the West Extension Railway is delayed and cannot be transported to Tongmu, and the coal cannot be transported; Second, the Armaments Department, controlled by the Kuomintang rightists, refused to purchase oil extracted from the Yan'an oil mines. Now we have to think of refining oil by the moon soil method, and then sell it to the logistics department of your party's Central Revolutionary Military Commission. However, the price is very low, and there is always a loss. Of course, this is not to blame the comrades of the logistics department, but our oil is not up to standard, and the machine is injured when it is used. ā€

came up and glanced at Zhang Naiqi, who was sweating profusely, and his eyes rolled, as if he had an idea:

"The West Extension Railway has been repaired, isn't it?"

ļ¼Žļ¼Ž Yes, just don't give the train. Zhang Naiqi replied calmly. In this matter, it is obvious that the right wing of the Kuomintang is retaliating against the left wing of the Kuomintang.

As soon as the Politburo members in the conference room heard this, they began to discuss a lot of things, and all of them condemned the right wing of the Kuomintang. But what if it is condemned? They can't even hear.

Zhou came up but smiled, waved his hand casually, and the room immediately became quiet again. Zhou came up and smiled:

ļ¼Žļ¼Ž Naiqi, this matter is easy to do, they can intercept the West Extension Railway, and we can also intercept the Jinghan Railway. Yan Xishan's coal has to go there and sell it to the south. However, I have to work hard to make a trip to Lushan and negotiate with them to restore the West Extension and the Jinghan Railway. As a result, we are not in a position to come forward now. "In this way" Zhang Naiqi's eyes flashed, and he already understood what Zhou Lai meant, Zhou Lai wanted to use this incident to let the Northern Shaanxi Energy Company and the southern Cuo go online and act as a bridge between the north and the south.

"Naiqi, there's another question I'd like to ask."

Zhou Lai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face became solemn: "Now the national capitalists in Beijing and Tianjin are fleeing south one after another, especially Tianjin, the largest industrial and commercial city in northern China, is in depression when they see it. Look, what are the national capitalists worried about? Our party has repeatedly pledged through the major newspapers in the north that it absolutely wants to unite the national capitalists. ā€

Zhang Naiqi smiled bitterly: "The investment environment in the north has not been as good as that in the south over the years, and there have been signs of capital fleeing south, but it is not entirely related to your party. And the risk of investment should theoretically be linked to returns. The risks taken in Beijing and Tianjin are far greater than those in the south, but the returns are not as good as in the south. So... These national capitalists..."

Zhou Lai's eyebrows tightened more and more, and his face sank.

Listening to Zhang Naiqi's explanation, Zhou Lai already knew that it was impossible to temporarily preserve the capitalist system in the north, because of the existence of the south, the vast majority of capitalists would no longer stay in the Jinjing area. In the end, there is only the risk of killing the head, and there is no profit from killing the head. It seems that China and G should start socialist transformation in the north ahead of schedule, and only the superiority of the Liyue socialist system can greatly liberate the productive forces.

Wuhan, building of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Sitting, there are two of the third enlisted students of the Naval Officer School on Cheung Chau Island, and there are very big suspicions. One is named Qiao Guanhua, and the other is named Hu Gengshi. ā€

The talk was about Cutkasa, who was the head of the counterintelligence division of the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau. The intelligence that Zhong G recruited agents from Peking University freshmen to infiltrate the Southern Military School has now become the most important thing in the counterintelligence department he leads. project". The sets of the 17th and 18th years of enlistment in the Republic of China in the Central Military Academy and the Navy Military Academy have all been investigated and lost. In the end, two "prodigies" in Yancheng County, Jiangsu Province were locked. One is named Qiao Guanhua, and the other is named Hu Gengshi. Both of them are well-known prodigies in Yancheng, and many people in the local area know that they were both admitted to Peking University! In that era, being admitted to Peking University was no less than making a name for himself in the previous dynasty, and it was natural for the family to celebrate a lot, and the scenery was once again.

Wu Ziliangwei sat behind the desk, reached out to take the account sent by Dai Li, and slowly flipped through it. In recent years, the Military Intelligence Bureau has grown well in intelligence work in the north and against Japan. And also placed spies to apply for G's military academy in an attempt to infiltrate G's interior. However, the Kuomintang's internal counter-espionage work has always been a weakness, because the KMT's composition is too complicated and there are too many veterans and important ministers. No one is active, and many people are clearly half-hearted, and he really can't ask for the leftists of the Kuomintang to leave en masse. As soon as these people left, the Kuomintang's leaky sieve suddenly became much tighter, and these leftist bigwigs were much more difficult to deal with than the students of the two sea schools in front of them! Zhong G and Deng Yanda really miscalculated this time.

Dai Li stepped forward, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face: "Sit, are we going to detain them immediately?" It may be possible to dig out from them the underground party organization of the Chinese G in Guangdong. ā€

Wu Ziliang frowned and shook his head slightly. At the moment, the Kuomintang and G have not officially started a war, and both sides are sensible to keep the struggle to a bloodless scale. Even if the underground party organization of the Central G in Guangdong was dug up, it was only exchanged with the arrested Kuomintang agents in the north, and there was no big deal to do. And now the "hostages" in the hands of the Kuomintang are also better than the GC. Many, so don't rush to catch people.

ļ¼Žļ¼Ž Yu Nong, the value of these two people should not be limited to this, Zhong G obviously wants to put a long line to catch big fish, can they not be a general? Wu Ziliang raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.

Dai Li bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Does the bureau mean that we try to monitor the two of them first, and let them be Jiang Gan when needed?" ā€

Wu Ziliang was noncommittal: "Go and place it, you only need to monitor, don't startle the snake." ā€

"Humble duty understands." The tailor snapped upright, respectfully gave Wu Ziliang a military salute, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Dai Li's departure, Wu Ziliang's corner was slightly hooked, revealing a satisfied smile. He is the most core figure around Luo Yaoguo, and naturally knows that Luo Yaoguo has bad intentions towards the Soviet Union. These two chess pieces should have reached that time, right?
