Volume IV: Prosperity 26 How should this be?

At the beginning of November 1921, Shanghai's stock exchange market had gone crazy, junk stocks were speculated inflated, and those who had a few money in their hands saw that the stock market was doing well and threw their money in. Little did they know that a great crisis would befall them.

Lin Yimin has been paying attention to the Shanghai stock market, secretly directing the traders of the Meihua Company to close the net little by little, and a large number of junk stocks have been sold to those crazy Shanghai businessmen from the channels that have already been established.

"How's the goal?" Lin Yimin called Liu Zhiying.

"The fish has taken the bait and has just swallowed the bait. It was very greedy, swallowed 3 million goods, I deliberately left it for him, and I was reluctant to sell it to others when the price was high, a bit of a loss, hehe. Liu Zhiying thought.

"Come on! You're just holding a beautiful shell, it's only worth a few dollars, look at the way your heart hurts, you can really pretend, and you've really been mixed up on Wall Street. ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile, piercing Liu Zhiying's thoughts.

Liu Zhiying smiled and calmly accepted Lin Yimin's compliment. The experience of Wall Street has long since hardened his heart, and he has no sympathy for those who are about to suffer the losers. There is only success and failure in the capital market, and there is no such thing as emotion.

In mid-November, when Lin Yimin saw Liu Zhiying, Liu Zhiying was sitting on a recliner on the balcony, looking at Erlang's legs, looking at the seemingly prosperous Shanghai below, humming an out-of-tune tune, squinting his eyes, shaking his head slightly, and looking self-absorbed. He should have done so.

"Coming? Hehe, I'm looking for you! ”

Liu Zhiying took out a stack of account books, patted them, and said: "Our funds have all been withdrawn, and the preliminary results have also come out, this time we have earned a total of 32 million, more than I expected." Hehe, I didn't expect them to be crazy beyond my imagination. ”

"Okay, half a year's work has finally been in vain." Lin Yimin quickly browsed the accounts, and after confirming that they were correct, he was overjoyed and said: With this money, you can buy the flour and textile industries in Shanghai.

"By the way, remember to pay my team a tenth of it." Liu Zhiying reminded.

30 million yuan is not much for him, he has operated more funds, and the income in half a year is a little better than the income on Wall Street.

As a senior manager of Robles Securities, Liu Zhiying has participated in a lot of speculative projects that are much larger than those of Shanghai Xinjiaochao, and this time is just a relatively special task for him. He was sent back by the big boss Situ Nan to assist Lin Yimin.

"No problem." Lin Yimin said briskly.

"By the way, I want to remind you that in addition to us, there are two other groups of people who are also involved in this incident, they only entered the market later, but it has no impact on us, but they cooperate with each other to manipulate the stock market this time. I looked it up, it should be British and Japanese. Liu Zhiying said.

"No wonder, during this period of time, HSBC has continuously borrowed a large amount of funds, and secretly allocated funds from the south, and it really smelled it.

Not to mention the Japanese, who have been infiltrating all walks of life in Shanghai, will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Lin Yimin looked out the window, not far away was HSBC, and it was not bad to give the British a hard time.

"So, how are they doing?" He said with concern.

"It's still messing around. But it seems to have sensed something, and I'm fleeing, and if I'm lucky, I guess there's no problem, and if you don't let go, it's good. Do you want??????? Liu Zhiying looked at Lin Yimin with a smile.

The British and the Japanese only entered the market later, so naturally they fled lightly after taking away the funds like Lin Yimin and them.

"Alright, ignore them. Now that it's out, don't get involved anymore! Lin Yimin shook his head and pressed the idea of sniping at the British and Japanese.

"Listen to you." Liu Zhiying spread out his hands indifferently, thinking about something, he touched his chin and smiled proudly.

"By the way, at night, remember to help contact, the people below me haven't eaten meat for more than two months." Liu Zhiying sighed. Shanghai, the night Paris of the East, the taste is really desirable.

"Got it." Lin Yimin smiled and nodded, it was rare to be a pimp.

Thinking that Liu Zhiying was about to leave, he was a little reluctant. In the past six months, everyone has been cooperating well.

Back in his office, Lin Yimin called and said Night Paris. "Miss Wu? Yes, I am a people. The plan is about to begin, and you have to keep your eyes on the goal. Well, there's ?????? It's tonight that I'm going to borrow one of your sisters from the docks, the Harmony. ”

Putting down the phone, Lin Yimin was a little distracted. Then he sent a telegram to Guangzhou, informing the Guangzhou side that it was ready to do it.

There is no telephone connection between Shanghai and Guangzhou, but Lin Yimin has always maintained close contact with Guangzhou. After receiving the telegram from Shanghai, Situ Meiden came to Chen Jiongming's office.

"It's almost done in Shanghai. , this time, the gang of gamblers in Guangzhou couldn't escape. Situ Meiden laughed.

Not only Shanghai, but also Guangzhou, Tianjin, Hangzhou and other big cities have also seen a wave of credit exchanges, and a large amount of idle funds have been invested in the stock market.

The situation in Guangzhou is much better, and the government and the Meihua Company have continuously invested in large-scale projects such as transportation, iron and steel, and coal mines, attracting some idle funds from the society to invest in related projects; in addition, the Meihua Company has the Bank of Guangdong's financial supervision and control over the whole province, and the general situation is still under control, although there are also some speculators who have made some small moves in the securities market, unlike in Shanghai, where all the companies that have opened brothels and tobacco houses can be listed.

"Okay, let's go according to the plan, and this time we must teach those profiteers a profound lesson." Chen Jiongming said firmly.

"Don't worry! After this battle, the merchant groups could no longer threaten the government. Situ Meiden stroked his long beard and smiled like a good fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

Similar to Lin Yimin's set up a set for those fanatical speculative businessmen in Shanghai, Situ Meiden also set up a complete set for some businessmen in Guangzhou, preparing to deal a fatal blow to those businessmen who were close to the British, and to co-opt the merchant groups by means of economy as the mainstay, supplemented by political and military means.

There is always a lot of peace before a storm, and a lot of madness before you die. At a time when the company has washed its hands and gone ashore, a large number of speculators are frantically pouring into the stock exchange market, and the number of new stock exchanges opened in Shanghai in November alone reached 38!

Not to mention large green gang companies like Sanxin Company, more small gangs also joined in the fun, followed suit, and took the meager income obtained by extortion to speculate in stocks. At a time when junk stocks are flying, it's hard to estimate how much money is going into the big gamble.

Too much speculation on exchanges and securities has disrupted the order of the market economy, resulting in increasing risks in the operation of exchanges and securities transactions, and people of insight from all walks of life have questioned it.

Song Ziwen got home, picked up the newspaper in his hand, glanced at it, and it was full of reports on the stock market, which was boring and immediately thrown away.

"Meiling, why is your "Shanghai Ta Kung Pao" also blindly coaxing, always reporting on the stock market, isn't this misleading?" Song Ziwen said. It is true that the media is also contributing to the controversy, and although opinions vary, the frequent occurrence of the term stock market in newspapers is also a subtle impression of people.

"Brother, what you said is not right. Ta Kung Pao warned of the risks of the stock market and called on those who were fanatical to stop speculating. Is there anything wrong with that?" Song Meiling retorted.

But is this admonition useful? Isn't there a growing number of people flocking to it? I see, this turmoil is coming, and I don't know how many people will die in Shanghai by then. "Song Ziwen is a little compassionate. The situation in Shanghai made him feel bad, out of sight and out of mind, and he went back to Wuhan the next day.

In the midst of this turmoil, many people of insight have encountered a crisis, and the Money Industry Association and the Banking Association in Shanghai have also realized that if no measures are taken, a major crisis will spread.

It is a pity that many of their members are engaged in speculation, and with the special circumstances of the concession, it is even more impossible to supervise financial speculation.

As time went on, the problems exposed became more and more severe, and the Beiyang government and the Shanghai Concession authorities also set about rectifying them, so the frenzy finally led to the collapse of the zhì, and from November of that year, the stock prices of the exchanges fell sharply and trading stalled.

The first to do it was Guangdong.

The Guangzhou government issued a strict order not to approve new exchanges, and ordered the Ministry of Finance to strictly supervise the securities trading market and crack down on speculation.

The Bank of Guangdong then issued an announcement to cooperate with the government's financial supervision to prohibit the issuance of loans to banking companies engaged in financial speculation and to recover the relevant loans.

For a time, Guangzhou's stock market transactions fell to the surface, a large number of junk stocks were paid to the surface, and speculators fled the stock market in a hurry, but unfortunately it was too late. A small number of people were lucky and stubbornly resisted, but as the bubble burst, they were unable to support it.

The stock market bubble in Guangzhou also affected Shanghai, which was much more severe than Guangzhou.

"Ta Kung Pao" immediately published a report on the Guangdong stock exchange market, and looking at those speculative businessmen who jumped the Pearl River, the speculators in Shanghai began to be afraid.

After dormant for more than half a year, the gang of the Axe Gang poured into Shanghai's teahouses and shopping malls, and according to the arranged words, spread the stock market crisis throughout Shanghai, and rumors spread all over Shanghai's large and small stock exchanges, and they were shocked several times a day.

Speculators, aware of the crisis, began to sell stocks in a hurry, one, two, three, and more and more stocks were abandoned, as if a hole had been broken in a dike, and countless seawater rushed in, raging, and destroying all the ones in a frenzy.

By December, the stock market bubble had completely burst. Even large exchanges such as the Shanghai Securities Exchange, the Shanghai Huashang Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Huashang Gauze Exchange, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the Shanghai Exchange for Flour and Flour in China, and the Miscellaneous Grains and Oilcakes Exchange have also stagnated trading, and a large number of junk stocks are rotten in their hands and no one cares about them.

They may be better, but those cautious exchanges simply don't have the ability to resist risk.

A large number of exchanges are waiting to be liquidated, and countless evaporated funds can never be recovered. Broken, scattered, ran.

"Huh. It's finally coming. Lin Yimin stood on the roof of the Meihua Company, looking at the exchanges in the concession not far away, and there was a commotion from time to time.

One by one, the spirits of the destroyed people came out of the exchange in a dejected manner, as if they were mourning, because the shares they had bought in high spirits were now worthless. The day before, it may still be a 10,000 yuan household, but after a while, it will become a poor egg. Not only the poor bastard, but also the poor bastard who owes a big ass.

Maoxin is one of many speculators, but what is shocking is that in the past month, Maoxin has gambled the hardest, and of course, fallen the hardest.

Jiang Weiji and Chen Guofu sat in the office and looked at each other, they were all frightened by the sudden collapse, and what made them even more frightened was that they had invested all their net worth, 1.5 million yuan was all in vain, and they still owed millions of debts.

"How can this be? What should I do? Chen Guofu kept muttering.

Jiang Weiji sat on a plate, although he tried his best to keep his composure, but the blank, frightened eyes had betrayed him. At this time, he was very remorseful in his heart, and he would have accepted it if he had known it.

He moved his mouth with difficulty, trying to say something, but when the words came to his lips for no reason, he was speechless.

After a long time, Chen Guofu glanced at Jiang Weiji and said tentatively, "Uncle Jiang, otherwise, let's run!" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Weiji nodded and shook his head again. The brow is furrowed, noncommittal.

As if Chen Guofu's words were fulfilled, bang! There was a panicked footsteps, and more than a dozen people with red faces and panicked faces broke into Maoxin's company.

"Lose money, lose money!"

"Manager Chen, pay me back quickly, I have the old and the young, and the family depends on you, you can do it." Or, half of it would be fine, I'll just get half back. ”

They all came to ask for money, and a group of people surrounded Chen Guofu and poured out excitedly.

Chen Guofu's face was white and red, his words were incoherent, and he couldn't resist it. More and more people rushed into the office, and it was tightly blocked, Jiang Weiji wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he couldn't find a way out for a while, and the whole building was full of excited people, looking like that, as if he wanted to eat people, which made him panic.

Since the usual business of Maoxin Company was Chen Guofu's appearance, those people didn't know that Jiang Weiji was the last big boss, so they didn't pay attention to him for a while.

At this time, someone in the crowd took out a photo, compared it with Jiang Weiji, and immediately shouted: "Stop him!" He is the big boss of Maoxin! We asked him for money. ”

As soon as this voice shouted, the awakened crowd immediately blocked Jiang Weiji, and those who lost their minds had no discernment, and they rushed over like grasping a life-saving straw.

"Money, money, money, ??????" For a while, countless saliva, Zhang Wu's hands, um, and fists fell on Jiang Weiji. Although he was eight feet tall, he couldn't resist the surging crowd, and he couldn't escape by the way, and he was blocked by people, complaining in pain, so he had to move to the balcony step by step.

"Everyone, listen to me, listen to me." At the critical moment, Jiang Weiji shouted, stopping the excited crowd, and people were stunned and sobered up a little. looked at Jiang Weiji with a look of expectation and a little pleading.
