Chapter 379: Copper Round War
"It's also that I'm doing ghosts?" Meng Xiang said with a calm face. He still underestimated the blind obedience to the surname in the state of the assembly. Some experiences in later generations made him somewhat indulgent in those rallies and marches, but when group activities were used by others, it was easy to set off a storm.
This time, fortunately, Meng Xiang had already received the information and made arrangements in advance. When the gunshots at the guards in the square rang out, the surrounding guards did not shoot blindly, but cooperated with a large number of prepared police officers to separate the young people who were causing the confusion. After checking one by one, two young men with guns were caught.
Shu Liangnan, the intelligence staff major who came to threaten and arrested, immediately seized the opportunity and pushed everything on the head of Yu himself, calming the students who were a little panicked and indignant.
These have not wronged them, and the two people are indeed agents who have not been activated by themselves. Those agents who are constantly active have been targeted to death by the Vanguard Army, and if they had been active, they would have been groped by the Vanguard intelligence officers. It was Kenji Dohihara who enabled these two cannon fodder newcomers, but it almost made the vanguard army suffer a big loss. If it weren't for the fact that the guards in the square had been notified in advance and trained to deal with internal crises, once the guns were fired, it would definitely not be the situation now.
On the other hand, the workers' march in Tianjin was better solved, and the ruffians and hooligans who had mixed in were arrested by the armed police force before they could toss half a block.
Meng Xiang intended to ease the tense atmosphere of the trial of many Han annihilators in the Beijing-Tianjin area some time ago, and deliberately transferred all the troops out of the city, but left the armed police force. Even the warning signs were lowered to green, and even the fighting in Datong and Zhangjiakou did not affect the escalation of the alert in Beijing and Tianjin. This move actually made many people feel that without the suppression of the army, they could fish in troubled waters, so the shrimp soldiers and crab generals jumped out under the seduction of himself.
"Do you think the bayonets of the vanguard are not bright enough?" Meng Xiang sneered in his heart, in order to appease Xia Jingjin as quickly as possible, the main people dealt with were Han Jian. But at this time, Yue's strength had not yet expanded to the point where many people were desperate in later generations, so many Han Jians had not yet taken refuge in Yue, and he was driven away by the vanguard army.
Don't look at the vanguard army that dealt with thousands, this is only a small part of it. Meng Xiang also has a chance to make others reform in his heart. Because not all Han annihilation is voluntary, forced to be helpless, tired of the family, and weak national consciousness, many people choose blind obedience. That kind of country didn't give me any benefits, and the idea of why I should be loyal to this country is also very popular. At that time, because of the puppet regime, many people just thought that it was just a change of political axe. As for the collusion between the puppet political axe and himself, how much can the people below know. A lot of insider trading at the top is not what the rumors below outline.
But when he let go of many unformed Han anniversaries, he also let go of many lurking people with heinous crimes. Meng Xiang is in line with the strategy of settling down the interior first, which is to fish them out again through a series of activities. If they are safe and stable, if they are ready to move, they are looking for death. Beijing and Tianjin also need to ease up for a while. As soon as it was tightened and loosened, a lot of shrimp generals who thought they were lucky to avoid ran out.
"The clouds of war are growing. It's time to clean up. Meng Xiang's words were not salty or light, and the rat who was familiar with the whole plan and understood what he meant should go.
"Announce the news that the army is going to carry out a counteroffensive. Raise the level of each region, at least the non-war zone is on yellow alert. Border alert raised to orange alert. Meng Xiang and Tang Pharmacist said.
Wartime vigilance has a great impact, and it has a great impact on the economy and life, and it is not necessary to be fully vigilant in the slightest battle. So even at the time of the battle between Datong and Zhangjiakou, most of the area was still marked in green in peacetime, and life was carried out at the usual pace. According to the latest information, his army has already begun to move. It is also time for the people to be prepared in advance, so as not to panic when war strikes all at once, and not to be nervous for a long time because of the early start of the vigilance or to relax because there is nothing unusual.
"The copper circle has risen to 8 for one silver dollar! How did I sell so early! At least 10,000 oceans less. A mustachioed rich man repented. The silver dollar he spoke of was the small silver dollar of the Vanguard. The price of the small silver dollar and the ocean is already slightly higher than one to two.
"Young man, hold your breath!" An old man in a tuxedo glanced at him with a civilization stick, and slowly looked back at the new price marked on the blackboard.
"You see, it's broken through eight. It's 7.9 in a blink of an eye! He lifted his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said to himself.
The stock exchange in Peiping was already dying, and it was originally caused by the indiscriminate issuance of public bonds by the Beiping political axe. In 27 years, the capital of the New Deal was Nanjing, and the center of public bond issuance also moved south, and the largest securities company became a Chinese businessman in Shanghai. The public bonds operated by Peiping have lost the advantage of the political axe background in the past, and their operations have deteriorated and come to a standstill, and they were supposed to be closed down at the beginning of a few years. However, the Vanguard's military ticket business was speculated with huge sums of money, allowing the futures market here to flourish again.
At this time, although there was no stock exchange in Tianjin, there were many securities banks, and there were many banks in Tianjin, and their securities department and trust department were engaged in various securities transactions. For stocks, bonds, etc., there is also a large trading volume.
The Vanguard's metal stamps are also considered a type of bond, and they are often traded. But it is far less than the transaction amount during this period of time. During this period of time, the funds for financial operations in the Beijing-Tianjin area seem to have been concentrated here.
There are many banks in Tianjin, rich businessmen, and many people who are clinging to a lot of spare money, and they are also keenly aware of this hot speculation atmosphere, and they have jumped in with foreign funds. Most of them are profit-seeking behaviors of capital, so they are naturally optimistic about the appreciation of the copper yuan and join the queue of the capital corps of Yu himself.
The turmoil of the people's exchange is just a small disturbance, and the real battlefield is still here. Although there is no smoke of gunpowder in the battle of the financial war, it is just as fierce as the sword and the sword.
"Have you heard? The central government is ready to issue a circular to temporarily suspend the payment of principal and interest on public bonds. All of a sudden, those public debts will become worthless. "There is a lot of gossip in securities companies.
This news is indeed true, it turned out that when there were money bags in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the public debt of the central government axe could still maintain a good reputation, but with the long battle for more than a year, the central government's finances have been emptied, where to repay the money? War is a gold-swallowing beast, and if it weren't for the frenzied plundering of war to feed war, I would have been dragged down financially, not to mention the central political axe that feeds the huge central army.
Knowing the financial difficulties of the central political axe, Meng Xiang also lamented their difficulty, and at the same time congratulated himself on the luck of having a base. Military spending alone has been saved. All fiscal revenues are invested in economic and social investment, and economic investment and development in peacetime can be maintained during wartime. These are all incomparable to other forces.
Hearing this gossip, the metal military tickets of the vanguard army set off another round of price increases**.
"Oh my God! 7.6 up! The rich man exclaimed, "Fortunately, I have collected a batch, and this time I have made a lot of money." Earn 50,000 yuan a day. Great, Liu Fu, after a while, I want to celebrate when I go home, eat the bowl of flags, and remember to ask the cook to give more ......" The rich man paused, stretched out two fingers, and bent back again, "Add an egg!" I heard it clearly, it was to add one, there were two in total. If you add more, go back and deduct double his salary. ”
Behind him, the butler who was carrying a towel and other items nodded busily.
The old man next to him sat down with him again, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pout, and after glancing at it with disdain, he touched the bow tie under his neck and continued to sit and watch.
"The Vanguard issued an announcement reprimanding those who speculated on metal military votes and repeatedly warned that the securities market was at risk. We should ask people not to blindly follow the trend, and work together to assist the political axe to stabilize the financial order. Hmph, but what's the use of these? Kobayashi sneered, so far, the vanguard army has been weak in the financial market, and they are just a strong warning. The copper circles that had been thrown in were like raindrops dripping into the scorching desert, and they quickly evaporated.
Kenji Dohihara smiled silently, his first plan was chaos. Based on the financial chaos, lurking agents began to create all sorts of other chaos in various places, disrupting order on the territory of the Vanguard. At present, most of the troops of the vanguard army are concentrated near the border, and in many areas there are only police and reserves. They will not be able to effectively stop that series of chaos. When the people are panicked, the army in front of them will inevitably be affected.
At this time, the chaos is only the beginning, and with the attack of his own army, the turmoil in the rear will be more intense. To a certain extent, chaos will shake the foundation of the vanguard army. In particular, this financial turmoil is more likely to cause economic damage. Without money, the army cannot be sustained.
"Although the prices of goods have not changed much, people are consuming less. The copper yuan for the payment of wages has begun to be delayed, and even the payment for the goods purchased outside, others have designated copper yuan. Many people started trading fiat currency in private, and the copper yuan was kept. Zhou Bai said a series of changes: "Want to fight finance? If you play this trick when you first start in Beijing and Tianjin, maybe I'll have to scramble for a while. But now, you shouldn't give me two more months. Meng Xiang sneered in his heart. At the beginning of this small financial storm that started half a month ago, it was noticed by Meng Xiang, and the currency fluctuation that later generations heard of was even more thrilling than this.
"The devil is going to attack, and it's time to close the net." Meng Xiang instructed, "The copper yuan in reserve can be thrown out, I didn't expect to make a fortune this time!" At the beginning, Meng Xiang didn't plan to let go of this opportunity.
After some crises come, blocking is not the best way, using grooming to release the contradictions, homeopathic and completely cut off the root is the most cost-effective, and you can also get some unexpected gains.
"Mr. Salmen said that we can wait a little longer, this is not the best time, and we will earn more in a while." Yang Yi reported. Shamen is Jewish, and Jews are good at playing these financial games, and this time, Meng Xiang invited several Jewish financial experts led by Shamen who had taken refuge in the SAR to help him do this.
"Our purpose is not to make money, but to stabilize the financial market and order the economic market. If the political axe is to make money, there is no need to adopt this method. Meng Xiang directly refused, those Jews think about the maximization of capital interests, and he needs to consider all aspects of things, the stability of metal military tickets, the formation of a stable order, more conducive to the development of the economy in the war zone in the future.
February 5th, the seventeenth day of the lunar month. Spring.
Although it was still bitterly cold outside, the air inside the Peking Stock Exchange seemed to be filled with summer-like heat.
"It's going to break seven today. Seven up and eight down, keep going up! The bearded rich man took the towel from the butler's hand, wiped his sweat, and shouted along with the people in the hall. The bow tie of the old man in the tuxedo next to him had been loosened, but the old man still tugged at the neckline.
"Break seven! Break seven! Break seven! Everyone shouted loudly, but the 7.0 transaction volume on the blackboard remained unchanged for a long time.
The zero behind it is like a black hole, no matter how much you need to buy copper rounds, it is swallowed.
"Let's go up together, and today we must break the fucking seven." A sturdy man with red eyes and open arms, stepped on a chair and shouted loudly. The four black-clothed younger brothers behind him also raised their hands and shouted together, and a cold light appeared on their waists. Many gangs are also hot, and they are also involved. There are not only big fish in the net that Meng Xiang has spread, but also a lot of small fish and shrimp.
"Go up, break seven!" The bitter cold outside could not stop the heat wave in the hall at all, and the continuous climb made everyone's heart beat a few more times, and the blood flow that made people red-faced and red-eared released more heat.
"The vanguard finally came to the fore. I have expected it for a long time, continue to increase the buying! Buy another five million! Kobayashi Koji is calm, the vanguard army has been too weak before, he has carefully studied the main figures of the vanguard army, Zhou Bai is a figure who has studied the economy, and there are also many financial talents in Taiping Bank, according to the background of the vanguard army, it is impossible not to have a trace of counterattack ability.
"The other party has a lot of appetite!" Shamen laughed beside him. At the beginning, he took out five million to suppress it, and tens of millions of copper yuan made it very difficult. Of course, this is not an immediate transaction, even if the final transaction is not so much, and it has been converted into gold, silver, foreign exchange, etc. to pay by then. The competition between the two sides is not only the copper round, but also the financial support behind it. When the time comes, if you can't take out so many copper yuan, you will have to exchange it with the raised price, which is not a small amount.
"Give it to him!" Zheng Tieru's face was as usual. He is the commander-in-chief of this copper round financial war.
Kobayashi Koji looked at the zero who hadn't moved at all, and said easily: "Add another five million!" ”
"Give it to him!" Zheng Tieru said calmly, but his eyes searched for all kinds of information that was constantly sent.
After experiencing the silver incident in the past few years, Zheng Tieru is already familiar with this method.
The silver bill promoted by the deep-pocketed United States directly crushed the silver standard system in China, and the vanguard army with copper yuan as the main currency is also facing such a huge impact.
"If you want to destroy your country, you must first mess with its currency!" A regime's currency appreciates and depreciates dramatically is not a good sign. The most direct cause of currency appreciation is deflation.
The consequences of deflation are no worse than inflation, and it seems that the people can buy more things with a small amount of money, but the factories lack the money on hand, and the things they sell are cheaper, so they have to reduce production, and if it is foreign trade exports, foreign trade will be greatly reduced. In later generations, the appreciation of the renminbi made a large number of factories unable to sell their goods, and their competitiveness declined, and they went out of business one after another.
If we add to this the rise in prices, the double growth of stagflation, in fact, the people will lose more all of a sudden.
"Buy 10 million!" Looking at the zero behind him who was still not moving at all, Kobayashi Koji said in a deep voice with the same expression. This time, the upper limit of what he could do was 50 million US dollars, and the verbal quotations were all in the small silver dollars of the vanguard army, which was more than 200 million after exchange. At this time, although there are not so many financial derivatives that use financial leverage, there are hundreds of millions of follow-up funds on his periphery, and these greedy and huge funds will quickly defeat any blockers.
Their team had already blocked the fiat currency of the Central Political Axe several times before blocking the metal military tickets of the Vanguard Army. Following the 10 percent establishment of the fiat currency in August last year, the central government has just made a decision in the past few days to depreciate the fiat currency by another 30 percent. But the smoke of gunfire continues on this front. In order to stabilize the fiat currency, the central government is in urgent need of foreign exchange, not only for loans, but also for exporting a large amount of gold and silver. Gold was sold to the British, and silver continued to fulfill the contracts it had at the time of the Silver Act and sold to the Americans. Coupled with continuous borrowing, the fiat currency has been supported for 40 years.
It is thanks to these foreign currencies that the fiat currency, although it has depreciated slightly, is still strong. Even the people in the occupied areas have more trust in fiat currency.
Although fiat currency is not banned on the territory of the Vanguard, people trust metal military tickets more. The depreciation of the fiat currency and the expansion of the strength of the vanguard army have made the fiat currency squeezed out. This is also the background of the copper round rise, everyone is optimistic, the impact can not be big?
"Give it to him!" Zheng Tieru continued to look through all kinds of summarized information, and said without raising his head. Meng Xiang had already prepared enough gold, silver, and foreign exchange for him to deal with this crisis. Selling a number of Nagato-class ships in a row has already made Meng Xiang enough money to deal with this kind of crisis, although most of them are bartered, but the remaining large amount of foreign exchange also makes his money bag bulge.
This confrontation is equivalent to the vanguard army alone against many speculations. But Meng Xiang was not afraid at all, except for the reserves of gold and silver foreign exchange, the value of the copper yuan itself alone was enough to offset part of the pressure.
In order to stabilize the copper circle, Meng Xiang accumulated a large number of copper circles. The mint worked around the clock to make it, and almost all the recovered bullet shells were converted into this, and hundreds of millions of ammunition were produced at the base. This is also his dependence. Moreover, at this time, the cost gap of copper yuan has not reached the level of silver. The biggest beneficiary of the Silver Act that time was the one who used smuggling for profit, and this time he wanted to make them all spit out.
"Add another 30 million!" Kobayashi Koji pursed his lips and said. Seeing that 7.0 still didn't move, he was a little impatient in his heart. Half of his more than 200 million yuan has been invested in the coaxing some time ago.
Everyone on the Peking Exchange cheered in unison when they saw such a buy order.
"I came from Shanghai, and I finally caught up." A soft-voiced man in a suit also raised his voice at this time and shouted, "I'll buy 500,000 copper yuan!" ”
"Next." Zheng Tieru said with a solemn expression. And with that comes more than just the money.
The 7.0 threshold is also a psychological threshold for many people. The conflict at this juncture is extremely intense, and once it is broken, more people will follow suit. When the time comes, the pressure on the vanguard will be even greater. Moreover, the metal military tickets that have skyrocketed for a week on the territory of the vanguard army have aroused the attention of other forces, from Shanghai and other places, and even foreign banks and commercial banks have also participated.
This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang is in a hurry to solve the problem in advance. There are too many unstable factors, and the news of the financial problems of the central political axe has made the pressure on the vanguard army even greater, and to resist the pressure of almost everyone who is optimistic about the appreciation of the copper yuan at the same time, Meng Xiang also feels that the strength in front of him is not enough, and it is only suitable for a quick solution.
The number of trading figures reported by traders is constantly climbing, and the number is so large that many people are dumbfounded. The game above is no longer within the reach of these small retail investors, they can only wait and see.
"This is my own conspiracy, and I am trying to mess up our economy!" At this time, some news was circulating everywhere. Well-informed exchanges have naturally known about it for a long time.
"Myself? Is this a trick I am playing? The fat rich man with the beard hesitated.
But he looked at the old man in tuxedo, who was still shouting about breaking seven, and the frenzied crowd around him. The big order of 30 million fell down, and the data has fallen from 7.05 to 7.01. Interests make people forget about the other.
"I'll only earn this once, and I'll stop after breaking seven!" He eventually decided to continue.
Not many people have withdrawn, but there are also people who have figured out the taste and taken the opportunity to quit and wait and see.
Meng Xiang's messages for people to walk are just a warning, a reminder to those who follow blindly. He has already done the duty of reminding, and if there is any loss for the rest, he can only blame himself.
"Buy another 30 million!" Kobayashi Koji saw the data floating on 7.01 and said decisively. Breaking the psychological threshold of seven, you can't hesitate.
"Pick it up!" Zheng Tieru also did not hesitate at all, staring at the data and said in a deep voice.
