- "It's over, it's over! It's all over this time!" On the Huangpu River on Nanjing Road, a guy dressed in a suit and wearing the popular 46-parted haircut said to himself, walking towards the river step by step. At this time, only one of the enviable shiny leather shoes was left, and the whole person was so lost that he limped onto the embankment with bare feet!
"Ah!" A shrill scream came from the river bank! "Someone is about to jump into the river! Hurry! Stop him, he is about to jump into the river!" A fashionable girl in a dress and carrying a parasol had just been helped off a rickshaw. When she raised her eyes and saw this scene, she was immediately shocked. Shout!
It¡¯s just her shrill scream that woke up the pedestrians on the riverside. They all looked up feebly and then lowered their heads again! It¡¯s as if you haven¡¯t seen everything in front of you!
"Hmph! Erwuzi! Our ancestors don't have any hair anymore. Such people would have died long ago!" A man passing by the girl cursed fiercely.
Then, there was a splash, and the people on the embankment fell into the water, but the pedestrians around them didn't even pay any attention to it!
"How can this be done? How can this be done!" The fashionable girl cried tremblingly, then suddenly went crazy and ran towards the shore. The young man with oily hair and pink face next to her hurriedly shouted and followed behind. A follower also quickly followed!
When she got close, the fashionable girl suddenly stopped and was stunned for a long time. Then she bent down and held in her strength, and let out a scream that broke the sky. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be shaken by the sound. It seems to be a little scattered.
A group of people slowly gathered around the girl, looking at the Huangpu River, but they fell into a long silence without making any sound!
I saw that on the river at this time, the water was carrying waves, and there were more than a dozen floating corpses floating in various directions, mixed with the large piles of various things on the river. The corpses swollen by the river water expelled gas after rotting, and their bodies were covered with gas. Her clothes were stretched out, inflating like a balloon, floating downstream. In the distance, on the broad river surface that cannot be seen clearly downstream, among the steamboats passing by, more floating objects can be vaguely seen, rising and falling on the river surface, dotting the monotonous gray water surface of the Huangpu River.
"How can this be done? How can this be done?" The girl finally regained her composure and cried with the support of the boy beside her, making a choked sound with incomprehensible meaning!
"This is Shanghai! This is Huangpu!" The rickshaw driver beside him sighed, pulled up the rickshaw, got up, and left!
Time: 1910, the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty!
¡¡
The flower hall in Cai Naihuang's backyard in Daotai, Shanghai, was crowded with people. Several industry leaders who could be called big names in the business world were sitting on their seats. They tilted their heads and seemed to be admiring the decoration of the Chinese and Western flower hall in Cai's mansion, but their ears were like antennas. He stood up and kept listening to the noise coming from the hall door.
Footsteps sounded, the moment Cai Naihuang and Zhou Jinzhen, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, walked in! A group of people suddenly stood up and gathered around.
"Cai Gong, Cai Gong! Something big is going to happen in Shanghai this time! You can't just die without saving me!" The voice was as miserable as a cuckoo crying with blood! At this time, no one cares about manners or anything else, they just hate that their performance is not infectious enough! These court officials could not be impressed.
The owner of Zhengyuan Bank, Chen Yiqing, was a comprador of Maohe Bank, Xinqichang Bank and Lever Bank. In addition, he also owned Qingyu Foreign Trade and Zhengyuan Bank. In addition, he also had shares in many other banks. At this time In Shanghai, the power is intertwined and the wealth is huge. It can be called a leading figure in the financial world. It's just that this time, even he suffered particularly heavy losses. The loss of millions of taels has already overdrawn his income for the next few lifetimes. If there is no rescue here, he will be forced to become one of the floating corpses in the Huangpu River. Become a member!
In addition, there are Dai Jiabao, the owner of Zhaokang Bank, who is also the comprador of Yuxing Foreign Bank, a German businessman, and Lu Dasheng, the owner of Qianyu Bank, and others. At this time, they combined to dominate the Chinese financial industry in Shanghai. Half of them got the same result, they all came to Cai Naihuang for help.
"What's the situation like? Is it really like this? Even Zhengyuan Bank can't sustain it?"
"More than that, not to mention the eight major banks like us, even Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan, if the imperial court does not rescue the market, they will end up in the same fate. This time, the disaster of rubber stocks has swept across England, and even the British Empire has been littered with corpses. , we are also affected by the disaster!"
Chen Yiqing¡¯s words completely awakened Cai Naihuang. This gentleman was quick-thinking and had always been praised for his flexibility in official circles, so he was sent to take charge of Shanghai, the leading trading port of the Qing Dynasty at this time.The importance is no less than that of the first-rank official of the imperial court.
He also knew some of the origins of the rubber stock turmoil. It caused quite a stir in the past few years. Countless people thought they had discovered a cash cow and invested in it like crazy. However, they never expected that what would happen now would be such a result! How could it evolve into something so big and deadly! The entire business circle in Shanghai collapsed in an instant, and there were bankrupt speculators everywhere who jumped into the river to die! According to the rumors spread by the officials in the Yamen, it is said that the Huangpu River is blocked by corpses!
Employees of financial institutions throughout Shanghai are lying dead everywhere, starving and in a mess! If all the banks and banks in Shanghai fail, then it is not just Shanghai that will be unlucky. I am afraid that inland along the Yangtze River, countless national enterprises across the country with Shanghai as the financial center as the core will be in trouble!
What's more, there are Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan mentioned by Chen Yiqing. Of these two banks, one was headed by the Ningbo Gang Yan, who was the leader in the business world in the Qing Dynasty at that time, and the other was headed by Li Hongzhang, the former pillar of the Qing Dynasty. The old prime minister's family business, two banks, is as strong as the central bank of the country. Even the customs transactions between the Qing Dynasty's treasury are handled through these two banks, and the huge number of shares in their hands involves most of them. This is a gray asset of the officials of the Qing Dynasty. If these two families failed, there would be problems with the Gengzi compensation, and even the royal family of the Qing Dynasty would be in trouble. However, this must never happen!
Within a few words, everyone already understood the seriousness of the current situation. Several people agreed to work separately. Cai Naihuang and Zhou Jinzhen went to Nanjing to ask for instructions from their superiors. Chen Yiqing and others continued to contact each other, trying their best to delay as much time as possible! Waiting for the court's rescue.
Who knows that God will not obey people¡¯s wishes in the end!

Standing higher and seeing farther, people with different levels of strength will naturally view the crisis differently and act differently. Although the stock trend is a financial crisis caused by a global speculative boom, it has great consequences for many investors in the market. It is said to be a bolt from the blue, but for the powerful financial giants in the market, it is another gluttonous feast to plunder small and medium-sized capital.
Although the major foreign banks in Shanghai suffered heavy losses themselves, they immediately passed on the crisis to the small and medium-sized banks downstream, causing frequent bankruptcies of small and medium-sized banks. Then the market shrank and the market was cleaned up. Although their strength was damaged on the surface, they The reshuffle of the market has resulted in an increase in the market share of the foreign companies themselves, which is also a small supplement to future development, and can even be said to be a small profit. The so-called crisis is a danger to most people, but if it is managed properly, it may be an opportunity for some people.
What¡¯s more, in recent decades, the vigorous development of Chinese-funded national assets and the Westernization Movement in the Mainland has created a prosperous and prosperous situation that has already made these foreign capitals eyeballs. If due to the total bankruptcy of Chinese-funded finance, these national assets that had just been developed by the Qing Dynasty were hit hard and went bankrupt one after another. This created opportunities for bargain hunting and countless national industries that should have a promising future. Will become the fat in the mouths of wealthy foreign firms!
As a result, the stock crisis that occurred in Shanghai quickly evolved into a large-scale harvesting operation by foreign banks secretly plotting against Chinese-funded enterprises. The major foreign banks, as if they had discussed it in advance, stopped targeting Chinese banks one after another. They borrowed money and demanded repayment. Suddenly, the upstream trend hit, and the debt crisis hit like a scourge. Small Chinese banks in Shanghai became insolvent and collapsed one after another, setting off a series of bankruptcies!
On July 21st, Zhengyuan Bank finally failed to survive until the court rescued the market and declared bankruptcy. Immediately afterwards, Qianyu Bank collapsed. Then, on the 22nd, Zhaokang and Senyuan Bank collapsed; on the 23rd, Yuanfeng Bankruptcy. On the 24th, Huitai, Xiefeng, and Jin University collapsed. The dominoes of Shanghai's financial industry collapse have officially begun!
The aftermath* has spread to the mainland, and industrial and commercial disasters are imminent in various places! The six major economic towns of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo were all hit hard. Taking Zhenjiang as an example, affected by the Zhengyuan trend in Shanghai, in August, four major businesses in Zhenjiang, Dasheng Hengmu Store, Zhenjiang Yuanxiang Silk Co., Ruihe North Goods Co., and Ma Zhenji Silk Co. were all washed away. Although many of the remaining industrial and commercial businesses can barely support themselves, they are already struggling.
By October, the large loans from foreign banks raised by the imperial court failed to save the market, and Yuan Fenggun and Yi Shanyuan fell into crisis one after another. The two companies together lost tens of millions of taels of silver, their banks were empty, and they were in debt for the Gengzi indemnity. Things have settled down to the last minute. Industry and commerce across the country are eagerly watching, watching helplessly as Shanghai Beach, the nation's financial dam, is about to be breached, and the torrential floods are coming in an instant!
¡¡
Yan Yibin, the big boss of Yuan Fengrun, the leader of the Ningbo Gang! At this time, I was in the lobby of my home, sitting on the imperial chair, barely putting on the so-called graceful demeanor I usually put on, but my eyes wereHe stared blankly at the door of the hall opposite, waiting for the footsteps of someone coming. This time, this is his last hope. With a deficit of tens of millions of taels in front of him, and under the pressure of various forces at home and abroad, even if it is just a life-saving straw that is hard to count on, he must seize it at all costs. . Otherwise, if Yuan Fengrun, who is in charge of the country's private financial industry, goes bankrupt, the abyss of hell is right in front of us!
He knows that the other party is not a good choice. After all, if you can contact him through a force like Zhi Gongtang, the coefficient you can count on is definitely not big. Although Situ Meitang is a person with great loyalty and is well-known throughout the country! But after all, they are overseas rebels, and behind them are the rebel forces in Nanyang, and he, Yan Yibin, is a real red-top businessman and the money bag of the court officials! He is incompatible with someone like Situ Meitang! This contact with Situ Meitang was already a big taboo for someone like him!
It¡¯s just that he really has no choice!
¡¡
Step, step, step, step! The unique crisp sound of the Western leather shoes hitting the marble floor struck Yan Yibin's heart like a bell or a drum! Awaken Yan Yibin from his hellish nightmare!
From the screen wall directly opposite the lobby, several people turned around. The man in front of them, an imposing man in his prime, was none other than Situ Meitang from Zhigong Hall. Behind him, a young man in a suit, dozens of meters away, At a glance, Yan Yibin's eyes collided, and a series of sparks suddenly appeared, which shocked Yan Yibin's mind.
