Chapter 185: How much is Wang Maoru's assets?
?? Fee Chapter (12 points)
Zhao Jiacheng was surprised, our handsome man is really not dead-eyed, and he thought that a righteous person like him who wrote "The Rise of a Great Power" must have hated this opium, and prepared a lot of words of persuasion in his mouth, but he didn't need it. Zhao Jiacheng smiled and said, "It's good that the handsome man is not dead." Actually, Dashuai, we still have a way to make money, you didn't think about it. He took out a dollar in his arms and said, "What's the point of growing big cigarettes to make money?" The most profitable thing is to print your own money and spend it. ”
A word woke up the dreamer, and Wang Maoru actually forgot that the most profitable thing is not a company, not a monopoly production, but a bank, and the bank that prints money is the most profitable. What does money stand for? It is just a symbol, it represents a country's gross national product and productivity, and controls the issuance of currency, that is, the wealth of the entire country. Wang Maoru slapped his face and said, "Lao Zhao, your uncle, I said that you are not my military government's financial director, you are very capable." But this bank president, you must be. ”
Zhao Jiacheng nodded and said Okay, the bank president can be the president. So the two discussed and decided on the name of the bank, to be atmospheric, must have momentum and courage, Zhao Jiacheng said that it is better to call it the World Bank, Wang Maoru glared at him and said that even if you have courage, you don't have to be so big, after thinking for more than ten minutes, it was decided to name Huaxia National Bank, referred to as Huaxia Bank. What is Huaxia? Huaxia refers to the oldest ancestor of the Han nationality, which is different from the meaning of today's Han nationality, the origin of the Huaxia ethnic group is after the merger of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, with the dragon and the phoenix as the totem, after the fusion of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty for 1,800 years, the main body of the Asian yellow race gradually formed. Whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or the Korean Peninsula, or the ancient Xianbei, the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Mongolian Hu people, they all claim to have started in China. The Han nationality is naturally the main body of the Chinese nation. Wang Maoru takes this meaning, which is taken from the meaning of the great integration of China.
Naturally, this Huaxia Bank can only issue currency on its own territory, that is to say, Wang Maoru will promote the currency there no matter how much territory he wants, and now, there is only a small Hulunbuir with a population of 250,000. Two years ago, Yuan Shikai had instituted a unified currency throughout the country, replacing the chaotic silver dollar system in China with a one-yuan Yuan Datou, but with little success in remote areas, and Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang Province, had supervised the creation of the currency, but it was discontinued due to a lack of silver taels.
Wang Maoru immediately asked Zhu Qinglan to transport the mold workers and materials to Hulunbuir, who supervised the production of silver dollars, and he continued to supervise the production of Yuan Datou. Yuan Datou supervised by Huaxia Bank is also in strict accordance with the government's regulations of silver nine bronze one, the front of Yuan Shikai's head, the back of Jiahe "one yuan" pattern, in addition to the front of the word "Republic of China four years Huaxia Bank made" words. It is not the goal to win the right of Yuan Dayang to supervise the creation of Heilongjiang Province, and it does not make much money to build Yuan Dayang, but the change below one yuan is the place to make money.
Hua Xia Bank produced six types of change coins, including five jiao, two jiao, one jiao, five cents, two cents, and one cent, in addition to five jiao to one cent banknotes were issued at the same time as the change coins. Because an ocean roughly corresponds to 1,000 copper coins, Huaxia National Bank also issues a small banknote of one penny, which corresponds to a penny of copper coins, and the recovered copper coins can be recycled and reused to make copper ingots that will be cast into bullet shells in the future.
Don't look at the small denomination of change and banknotes, but the value of five oceans is the food cost of a family of five in Beijing today.
As for the name of the banknote, it was shamelessly plagiarized by Wang Maoru and called it RMB, which is red in hue and supplemented by other colors. Chinese love red, which symbolizes wealth and festivity. The size of the banknote is similar to that of later generations, the left side of the front of the eight currencies is the amount indicated in four words, namely Arabic numerals, Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian, and the right side is President Yuan Shikai, and the back of the currency is a unified 10,000 horses galloping on the Hulunbuir prairie, both sides are marked with the words of Huaxia National Bank, in addition to the currency code and anti-counterfeiting watermark. However, the money printing machine has to be imported, and the best money printing machine is made in the United States, and the printing plate also needs to be customized to the United States. Wang Maoru was very active in the issuance of currency, and he went to the Overseer's Mansion in Qiqihar to personally recommend the use of RMB to Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang Province.
Unexpectedly, without much persuasion, Zhu Qinglan immediately agreed. It turned out that Zhu Qinglan had long wanted to reform the currency, but now the monetary mechanism in Heilongjiang Province is chaotic, the Russians have depreciated the gold ruble strictly, but they have deceived the Chinese goods, the Japanese have also followed the storm, and the loss of silver is also very strict.
He had long wanted to reform the currency, and had already raised 2 million oceans to establish the Heilongjiang Provincial Bank. After hearing Wang Maoru's thoughts, it was exactly what he wanted, if he mastered the economy of Hei Province, how could there be Xu Lanzhou's troubles.
So the big and small foxes hooked up and became traitors, and the plan jointly initiated by Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang, and Wang Maoru, the envoy of the Hulunbuir army, to protect the property of the people in Heilong Province and support the local banks began, and to promote Yuan Dayang's activities, starting from Hulunbuir first.
The Heilongjiang Provincial Government invested 2 million Dayang to account for 10 percent of the shares, and Wang Maoru contributed 20 million Dayang to account for 80 percent. However, there were very few applicants, and in the end, the society only raised 500,000 yuan, accounting for only 2 percent of the shares. Moreover, most of these 2 percent were subscribed by wealthy businessmen with government backgrounds, and most of them came from Zhu Qinglan's disciples.
After the formulation was completed, Zhu Qinglan and Wang Maoru reported to Yuan Shikai that in order to unify the financial affairs of Heilongjiang Province, stabilize the people's hearts, enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and prevent foreigners from using foreign currency to fool the people of Longjiang, they would promote Yuan Dayang and unify the currency. They specifically refer to the Russians, because because Russia participated in the European war, the Russian gold ruble was strictly devalued, and Russian businessmen took the opportunity to use the depreciated gold ruble to buy goods purchased by Chinese merchants who did not understand currency transactions, and deceived the Chinese people. Huaxia National Bank is responsible for issuing two kinds of currency in Heilongjiang Province, namely coins and banknotes, the first issue is coins, when the people get used to it, and then issue banknotes to replace small transactions.
However, this move was secretly blocked by Xu Lanzhou, and he himself strongly opposed the monopoly of the Huaxia National Bank, because Heilongjiang already had the Bank of Communications of China, the Far Eastern Bank of Russia, and the Kwantung Bank of Japan, which were subordinate to the Beiyang government, and did not need another bank to "hurt the people". At the same time, Xu Lanzhou also knew that this Huaxia National Bank was Wang Maoru and Zhu Qinglan's money bag, and they held the money bag, so it was naturally better to seize the military and political power in Heilongjiang Province.
Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang Province who tore his face with him, immediately released the news that the government was ready to introduce a policy that silver from the black province should not be outflowed, and a new version of Yuan Dayang would be used to trade and ban the chaotic currency market. The two once again jointly explained to Yuan Shikai that now China and Russia in Jiang Province are using the devaluation of gold rubles to extract the wealth in the hands of the ignorant Chinese people, and the banks know the international exchange rate, so they will not let the people suffer in the first place. In order to protect the money of the people of Heilongjiang Province, all the people of Heilongjiang Province specially requested His Majesty the Emperor to reorganize the monetary system in Heilongjiang to replace the ruble, yen, ocean, silver, and other goods.
Yuan Shikai originally hoped that the whole country would use Yuan Datou to trade, so he agreed to Zhu Qinglan and Wang Maoru's request, which made Xu Lanzhou breathe a sigh of relief. In addition to the supervision of the Bank of Communications, the Beiyang government delegated power to the local superintendent in the three years of the Republic of China, but it must be strictly in accordance with the requirements, no adulteration and no inferiority, and the right to issue currency in Heilongjiang Province was handed over to the Huaxia National Bank of Heilongjiang Province.
In order to cooperate with Yuan Dayang's promotion, Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang Province, put all officials in charge of publicizing the information to the people, and issued a rule that all people in Heilongjiang Province must exchange huàn silver dollars at the Huaxia National Bank for two years, after which it was illegal to use silver and other currencies for transactions. It is free to redeem huàn within two years, but after two years, you will have to pay 30% of the handling fee when you go to Huaxia National Bank to redeem huàn Yuan Dayang. Only coins or banknotes known as the renminbi were allowed for all transactions, and within three years, the currency reform was officially completed.
Wang Maoru was even more ruthless, he announced a strict order in the 11th Banner of Hulunbuir, within one year, all regions must use silver dollars and renminbi, and any other currency must not accept buying and selling transactions, otherwise heavy fines will be confiscated.
The U.S. government soon sold a currency printing press to the local government of Heilongjiang, which represented China, and made six currency plates for it, which cost $100,000 or nearly 500,000 yuan for Yuan Dayang.
On 1 September, the Huaxia National Bank was officially established in Qiqihar, with a registered capital of 25 million oceans, and borrowed 5 million oceans from the Bank of Communications as collateral for all the gold mines in Heilongjiang to form the largest bank in northern China with a registered capital of 30 million.
Of course, here the Bank of Communications nominally said that it would invest 5 million oceans, but it did not contribute a dime here, so how could they lend 5 million oceans to the Huaxia National Bank, which was just a nominal IOU to get the benefits of 1 million oceans. , Chinese Bank is just using Bank of Communications to establish an orthodox image for itself.
Wang Maoru, on the other hand, has mobilized his own liquidity in the United States, and he does not care at all whether the bank battle will fail, because he can afford to lose. Now his capital consists of three parts, in the United States EAT Group, under the jurisdiction of the arms company, machinery research company, hotel, retail, fixed total assets after three years of accumulation of 11 million US dollars, in the domestic Huaxing Group, involved in manufacturing and processing industry, total assets of 2 million US dollars, in addition to fixed investment, he has spent 3 million US dollars over the years, at this time he still has 39 million US dollars in deposits in the United States Morgan Bank. It can be said that Wang Maoru's money is enough for him to start a small war. He only used $5 million in deposits to set up the bank this time, and it didn't matter if it failed, of course, he didn't think that in the context of World War I, he couldn't make money when the whole world except Europe was making money.
