Chapter 688: Financial Battlefield
I guess it's these dog things! After Meng Xiang received the information handed over by Rat Er, he couldn't help but say indignantly, "It is said that there is their shadow behind the two world wars", and sure enough, "where there is war" and "huge profits", there must be the shadow of capital at work! โ
When Meng Xiang first heard Zhou Bai's report that someone was attacking Shi Xianjun's financial system, "I was still taken aback." Meng Xiangshi, who has accumulated experience in later generations, is not uncommon when the storm born with the word "finance" is not unusual, "as soon as I hear the interference of foreign forces", I naturally think of Wall Street.
Before World War II, "the world's financial center was still in Europe such as London", and even France was known for its usury.
But capital has a risk-averse instinct, "although war can bring huge returns", but war is mainly controlled by those capital predators, "those capital shrimps with a keen sense of smell have already started to run as soon as they hear the wind and grass." At this time, Europe was under fire, and "those financial capitals fled one after another" to find another place of safety. At this time, the United States was singing and dancing, "just in time for the inflow of capital." It was at this time that New York became a real world financial center "as an alternative to London".
Of course, capital will never lack the courage to pursue huge profits and take risks.
Switzerland and other places are also absorbing the essence of European capital, "bringing about the post-war prosperity." Even in those war-torn places, "there are windfall profits of capital circulating and sharing the spoils." Not to mention the peaceful land of China.
The capital rushing out of Europe is also pursuing better habitats and targets for capital plundering "while seeking stability insurance". And after the rapid expansion of capital in the United States, "it is also extending its tentacles to the whole world." No matter which side it is, "China, where industry and commerce are booming", naturally falls into their eyes.
The intelligence department of the Pioneer Army operated quickly, and it was "quickly found out" that it was a bunch of European and American capital fish in troubled waters.
"It's still Ribai's far-sightedness" has already decided on Shanghai's chess! Zhou Bai also sighed as he looked at the comprehensive intelligence.
Zhang Jiali next to him couldn't help but ask curiously: "Could it be that Lord Meng knew about today's events?" โ
During the time of the First Cone Army, Soviet Russia declared a battle and recovered the foreign army, "one after another, many big cattle came out of the Chongqing government and threw themselves into the First Cone Military Government." One is the prospect of the first cone, with the victory in Soviet Russia and foreign countries, "more and more people are favored" and have a broader room to play, and the other is that the power cake of the new government needs to be divided, and "all forces want to meddle."
This Chinese financial bull originally served as the head of the Chongqing government, and "also came out with this trend."
The Huaxian Bank financial empire that he expanded at the beginning was picked up by Lao Jiang with the help of the financial reform in the stone year, "although it was later left by Lao Jiang's *** long hat", but with the rise of the first cone army, "his *** long is also a little faint."
Lao Jiang was even poorer, "those traffic regulations could only stay on the blueprint", and the original construction of several roads leading to the outside world was also canceled because of the threat of the first cone. Larger funds have become military spending, "barely maintaining the authority of the central government of half four".
Seeing that the industry and commerce on the side of the Xiancone Army were developing simultaneously, and the "economy was booming", he was a little breathless. It was a more suitable stage for him to perform.
It coincided with the official war between Soviet Russia and Russia at the time of the military junta, and "many people were not optimistic", after all, it may be necessary to meet the two major powers of Japan and Soviet Russia at the same time. But he stood up at this time, "Force, tn, first cone army."
Xian Chongjun also voted for Li Yibao and "awarded him the post of governor of the central bank."
Meng Xiangshi's position in the central bank of the national financial and economic baton is cautious, "Shi Yu Zhang Jia thought about it for a long time and agreed.
Behind Zhang Jiabai, there is a huge Zhang family standing, "his eight men, four women and two brothers and sisters", more than half of them are celebrities in Shanghai and even in China. This is also what Meng Xiangzhou is worried about.
This era has not yet experienced the impact of the Red Sรจ storm, and "those big families and old families are extremely powerful" and not only control all walks of life, but also can influence the Chinese regime. If it weren't for the clean foundation of the first cone army, "plus strong strength", I am afraid it would be easy to be swayed by others.
Although the trend of family separation triggered by the subsistence allowance disintegrated many rural families, "the families that had begun to transform to industry and commerce had little impact", and the policy of encouraging industry and commerce in the first army also stigated the birth of a number of new families.
For these, "Meng Xiang has long been enlightened", and even within the Xiancone Army, many new powerful families have been born. As long as there is a union of interests, "there will be the birth of interest groups", and the difference is only superficial, but the essence is still the line of interests. Meng Xiang has no intention of maintaining the power of a single monarchy, "and there is still a need for these domestic folk collectives that have grown up to resist those international predators in various fields", so these families are "only included in the category of power balance" like those righteous parties and factions, and do not take the initiative to suppress them.
The position of central bank governor, which is supposed to maintain economic balance, can easily become a funnel for early leaks of economic policy "if it is not used properly", and "only a few well-informed people are fattened."
Especially Zhang Jiabao has a huge family behind him and a large network of interests constructed, "so that Meng Xiang, who is deeply influenced by later generations, has scruples." But after learning about Zhang Jiabuli's personality, "he had to admire" that many elites in this era are still very professional.
Not to mention the commercial reputation of ancient China, "modern Chinese industry and commerce are also valued by integrity. Only industry and commerce that survived the brutal elimination of society understood the value of rules: "From disorder and spontaneity to order." The unspoken rules that only a few can be tampered with at will are precipitated into industry rules that everyone agrees on.
The rubber crisis at the beginning of this century came out of China's modern financial industry, "after experiencing many runs", pay more attention to the word integrity. Zhang Jiabai, the independent president who is known as a lifetime of walking by the river in his life, "does not wet his shoes, is still admirable", and his ability is not something that can be replaced by those clones under Meng Xiang.
Even the sheep soldiers under Meng Xiang who are in charge of finance and logistics do not have the ability to control the rapidly changing financial market, "so that they can still have meticulous financial supervision", but it is difficult to seize the opportunity in this other form of battlefield.
In the late Qing Dynasty, "the Chinese financial industry fought in a financial storm stirred by foreigners", and even the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan fell on the raw silk trade. It is also the blood and sweat paid by generation after generation that "has made many financial and economic elites in modern Chinese history", such as Wu Dingchang, Song Hanzhang, Zhang Jiajiao, Pei Zuyi, Chen Guangfu and other financial giants, are not old foxes who have been baptized and tempered by the international financial turmoil, "their level and quality are far from being comparable to the red-top elites promoted under different rules in later generations."
Meng Xiangshi, who was deeply affected by the financial turmoil in later generations, naturally took precautions in Huaxia Finance: "I can't rely on the clones in the financial system", and only with the help of these elites can I create a special team that resists international capital predators.
In addition to Song Hanzhang, who was also hesitant in the Chongqing government, "several other big bulls had already fallen to the vanguard army under the influence of Meng Xiangyi".
"Ribai, this person" although he acts a little uniquely in some things, but he is far-sighted, and he has already made up his mind. By the time Shanghai was reclaimed, "he had already turned it into our financial battlefield!" Although Zhou Bai didn't know Meng Xiang's plan to win over people, Shi Yu Mengxiang's positioning in Shanghai was clear.
Meng Xiang is well aware of the harm of disorderly capital, "and is also worried about the plundering and destruction of the Chinese economy when international investment capital", so the financial policy adopted on the territory of the Xian Cone Army is not completely liberalized, "from the beginning, there is a plan to control."
This is clearly not in the interests of the flow of capital and some people. In order to channel the pressure of that part of the "self" capital, "Meng Xiang temporarily created two "self" capital spaces. One is that Tianjin is "limited to the operation of domestic capital." The other is Shanghai.
"Shanghai will be the financial capital in the future", not only in China, but also in the world! "Meng Xiang was determined when he recovered Shanghai.
If it weren't for the first conjuncture, or if some rules of the game were followed, "Shanghai would not be so easy to get." Even if the First Cone Army is strong, "the Chinese and foreign capital predators gathered in Shanghai are enough to set off a headache for the First Cone Army." However, the Pioneer Army was very rule-abiding, "so that those foreign trading companies, in addition to being stripped of many privileges, "stayed in the drunken adventure paradise of Shanghai Tang."
A series of policies promulgated by the Xiancone Army to build Shanghai into a "free port" also caused the huge capital flow lurking under Shanghai to become entrenched day by day, and with the prosperity of the military industry and commerce of Xiancone, it continued to grow.
It is the Xian Cone Army that does things according to the current market rules, "not strong", and can bring real profits, "so the Jiang Xi consortium, which had just begun to challenge the economy of the Xiancone Army under the instruction of Lao Jiang, slowly fell to the Xiancone Army.
The defection of Yu Qiaqing, who served as the chairman of the Securities Commission of the Xiancone Military Government, and Chen Guangfu, the manager of the Taiping Bank, also meant that the hole cards of Jiang Xi's regiment led by Jiang Xi, who had made a fortune from the old Jiang, were taken away, and the medal of victory of the Xiancone Army was recorded on the financial battlefield of Shanghai.
Next, "in the face of the attack of international capital predators", Meng Xiang will hold high the independent spirit advocated by the Chinese financial elites who have experienced the financial suppression of foreigners, and "with the help of the geographical advantages of the magic capital of Shanghai that he has built with great heart", to fight another form of Chinese independence war. ๏ผ๏ผใ
