    In late October 1910, the financial crisis caused by the rubber stock turmoil in Shanghai had reached its climax.

    The entire market is surging with people, and there are crazy stock investors everywhere. The rubber stocks that countless people have invested in have lost their money and have now fallen to the bottom and turned into a piece of waste paper.  Affected by this, many banks went bankrupt, and the bank notes held by many people became worthless.  Countless people lost their fortunes and mourned all over Shanghai.  A crazy wave of bank runs ravaged the Shanghai Yangtze River and other places. At this point, the national bourgeoisie of the entire Qing Dynasty was already in a precarious state due to internal and external conflicts.

    Under such circumstances, many big bosses who were watching in secret were overjoyed. It was time to harvest the fruits of victory, and many people were secretly celebrating.

    However, the sudden development that followed made him feel like he was hit in the head!

    ¡­¡­

    "Ada! Ada! You don't need to jump into the Huangpu River anymore. God has opened your eyes. We are finally saved this time!" A young man shouted, rushing into a courtyard in the alley like a whirlwind.  !  It attracted the attention of a group of neighbors in the alley!

    "We're saved, what's going on? Has God really opened his eyes?" A group of people gathered around to watch!

    "What? Yuan Fengrun actually opened a shop and started redeeming banknotes! Is this true? Don't think that Ala is illiterate, just try your best to fool Ala. If something happens, the third brother Huang Ya in the neighborhood  But I will stand up for Allah!¡±

    The young man A Guang was dissatisfied, "That rare fool, look at this note," A Guang took out a wad of francs from his body like a magic trick and shook it, his voice was clear and loud, "That's a loud foreign note!  You can slip away when you play with it, but listen, how can it still make a sound when you smoke it?"

    Neighbors in the street came up to take a look. The foreign notes in Aguang¡¯s hand had just been redeemed from Yuan Fengrun¡¯s shop. They were not all rare foreign notes in the past. They praised him repeatedly:

    "Foreign banknotes are good, and foreign banknotes are good! Those foreign banks run by foreigners are very rich, and they will never collapse no matter how much money is squeezed! In a season like this, foreigners' things are better!"

    The people in this alley are illiterate, but they have the shrewdness that is passed down in the bones of the Chinese people. Nowadays, the foreigners have strong soldiers and horses, strong fists and loud voices. Naturally, this banknote has more credibility than the imperial court!  At this age, Shanghainese who are accustomed to using foreign currencies from various countries are well-informed, and they naturally know this truth!

    So, just like that, the news spread quietly in the streets and alleys of Shanghai,

    The time-honored brand Yuan Fengruncai is so powerful that it opened up the banker's bill redemption and took over all the orders with a large number of foreign bills. All redemptions in the past few days were paid in full without any loss. Compared with other Chinese companies that went bankrupt one after another  For a business firm, its reputation is as good as heaven!  Such news made people who were frightened by the financial turmoil extremely excited, as if they had finally found a lucky straw, and they transferred their funds one after another!

    ??????????????????????????????????????.

    As soon as the news spread, the situation immediately changed drastically, and various businesses that were struggling in the crisis came to ask for help.  Want to save the last coffin before diving!  For a moment, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, and used all kinds of tricks. The threshold of the Yan Mansion in Shanghai was almost broken through!

    "You must save your life! Boss Yan! We are all fellow villagers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still attached. I am the great-nephew of your second aunt's uncle's brother-in-law! Can you  You must not wait until death to save someone!" This was so emotional that it moved people. His voice was so loud that it could shake the entire patio of Yan's mansion!

    But the other one treated him politely, "Boss Yan, we have been operating in Shanghai for many years and have dealt with each other a lot. You can't just ignore death. We don't ask for anything else. What's in your hand?"  , 50% off, can I sell it to you at 50% off!

    Then he saw that the expression on Yan Yibin's face opposite him had not changed much. He was shocked and knew that there was nothing wrong with him. He quickly changed the price, from 40% off to 30% off, to 20% off to 10% off. At this time, everyone was rushing to escape.  , he is willing to sell the waste paper that everyone has in hand, even if it is slightly discounted, it cannot be lost!

    As a result, Yuan Fengrun almost effortlessly acquired a large number of industrial shares and high-quality national assets from various commercial banks. Those commercial banks that had tight liquidity and had to sell them almost asked for these.  Putting the shares in, for commercial banks, it was okay to hold these extremely illiquid things in their hands at ordinary times, but now they are in urgent need of liquidity to save their lives.A complete hot potato.  Everyone is eager to take action immediately. If Yuan Fengrun dares to take action, it is almost like saving a life.

    So Yuan Fenggun's move at this time actually resulted in a double gain of fame and fortune. He made both good fortune and profit. He solved the liquidity crisis of a lot of Chinese-funded financial companies, and what he got was a real promising future.  thing.  Those cotton mills, cloth industries, lumber shops and even department stores all over the country are all really good businesses!  It's just that other people are looking at it with greed, but there is really no way to get a share of the pie. No one has as much financial resources as Yuan Fengrun at this time. This is almost like one person is saving the market!

    At this time when everyone is unloading and running away like a lost dog, and is in urgent need of cash liquidity support, the flow of tens of millions of taels, and the scale of industrial shares of hundreds of millions of taels, if it is replaced by another company, who can afford it!

    Yuan Fengrun¡¯s reputation soared like a rocket in Shanghai, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from the leader in the past to the Lafayette it is today!  He has become the life-saving Guanyin Bodhisattva for hundreds of companies throughout the Yangtze River Basin in Shanghai. Under such circumstances, everyone is grateful to Yuan Fengrun, and even whoever stands up can only give a thumbs up!

    It¡¯s just that when people admire and praise Yuan Fengrun, they can¡¯t help but ask one more question,

    Where did this abundant money come from?

    ¡­¡­

    "Damn it, damn it! This damn Yuan Fengrun, is he deliberately going against the British Empire? He dares to snatch the fat meat that has already been eaten by us." Charlie, the executive director of Swire Pacific in Shanghai, walked back and forth in the hall  As he walked around, his face was ashen.  Originally, the harvest season had arrived, and the harvesting operation jointly carried out by several major business houses was about to bear fruit. Who knew that such a disaster would happen? Who can bear it? The Shihuai Ya family, the controllers of foreign companies, have recently seen the harvest coming.  Someone is going to be sent to inspect. I originally thought that Shanghai Beach would be able to survive the crisis and make a lot of money this year. But in this situation, it can't be said to be a profit. It's already good if it doesn't make a loss!  After all, planning the sell-off in advance also costs a lot of money.

    "Someone must have injected capital into it!" Dalton from Jardine Matheson continued next to him. He was not as restless as Charlie. He was still sitting there peacefully, but the tone of his mouth showed it.  His heart was not at peace either:

    "Otherwise, with Yuan Fengrun's capital at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive the second round of the October crisis and would fall under the wave of bank runs! A deficit of tens of millions of taels would have concentrated the wealth of everyone in the Ningbo Gang  It is impossible to repay the debt, not to mention, as far as we know, this time Yuan Fengrun not only did not ask his friends from the Ningbo Gang to help him pay off his debts, but instead helped many of his friends to tide over the difficulties! I'm afraid this  It¡¯s no longer just a matter of tens of millions of taels! There must be something fishy in this!¡±

    "Hmph! Not only that!" Williams, who is from the United States and represents Citigroup, said with a grim smile, "Yuan Fengrun not only made up for the shortfall and withstood the run, but also gave us all the fat we wanted.  Taking it away, I am afraid it would cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver! According to the previous net worth of Yuan Fengrun and the Ningbo Gang, it is absolutely impossible!

    According to intelligence, Yuan Fengrun paid for the exchange in full with cash from our powerful countries. In transactions with many other commercial banks, he also used a large number of banknotes from various countries. As far as we know, pounds, francs, marks, rubles and US dollars  There are, and the amount is huge. It is impossible to have such a large amount of cash reserves in Shanghai or even in China. The only explanation is that external forces intervene and steal our prey.  "

    Foreign forces!  who is it?  A group of people were suspicious, and they shot at the faces of everyone in the seat one by one, Russia's Sino-Russian Dowsing, America's Citi, Mobil, France's Yongxing, Britain's Jardine, Swire, Wheelock

    No one can believe that the other party did not participate, but no one believes that the other party will actually participate!

    Although the benefits of secretly cooperating with the Chinese are indeed considerable, they have to bear the wrath of all the foreign-funded foreign companies sitting here. As the spokespersons of the interests of various powers in the Qing Dynasty, these directors of foreign companies sitting here actually represent  If we take action together, no one will be able to bear the price!

    Who is so stupid that he did such a thing? It was an investment of hundreds of millions of taels. Even if everyone here joined hands, it would be difficult to create such a big momentum in a short time!  Aren't these people worried about angering the major powers in China and losing all their money in the end?

    These people were suspicious of each other, and there was no conclusion to the quarrel until the end!

    It¡¯s just Yuan Fengrun, who has undoubtedly become the enemy of the aggressive forces of all the commercial banks in China - destroying people and money!  To the businessmen, this move was more vicious than killing his father and seizing his wife. At this time, Yuan Fengrun had to face the combined wrath of all foreign firms in China!In the end, the directors of the foreign banks unanimously decided to take collective action against the Chinese-funded commercial banks headed by Yuan Fengrun, urge repayment, speed up the execution of the plan, and use a flood-like liquidity tide to defeat the Chinese-funded banks that Yuan Fengrun had supported.  Dyke!

    No one believes that at this time, the Qing Dynasty still had enough financial reserves to withstand the wholesale selling of all foreign banks!  The force behind Yuan Fengrun is naturally impossible!  (To be continued.
