    The Ministry of Justice audits the accounts¡­.

    Xu Xiujun was about to get out of the car and almost fell down. Isn¡¯t this a trick?  Which of those foreign banks and foreign businessmen is clean?  1.7 billion selling orders, who among domestic speculators dares to play this way?  I don¡¯t know many things from this investigation.  As for withdrawing orders, it is even more vicious. In normal times, this small trick would not work, because foreign businessmen can find ways to maintain international orders, and then exert diplomatic pressure through governments of various countries. It will take a few months at most to open up, but now  When the economic crisis breaks out, even if countries have orders, they will not send them abroad!

    Someone is going to be in trouble.

    Xu Xiujun thought well. After Yang Qiu arrived in Shanghai secretly, a financial inspection storm swept across the country.

    The financial crisis on the other side of the Pacific has made Shanghai feel a bit cooler, but except for newspapers reporting on the financial tsunami day and night and more police on the roads leading to the exchange, for ordinary people, life has not begun to change.  This Far Eastern metropolis is still busy. The neon lights at night are brighter than the stars. The rickshaws and domestic taxis on the banks of the Huangpu River under the cool breeze complement each other. The ancient and the modern complement each other here.

    This is a magical city. It has the largest slum area in China, the Suzhou River that is seriously polluted by excessive industrialization, and the miscellaneous wires that are densely covered over the city like spider webs. There are businessmen from all over the world, and there are countless more.  Clear construction sites and groups of workers.  Maybe this is not the best Shanghai, but it is a vibrant Shanghai!  The two major private industrial groups, Jiangnan and Qiuxin, have become the city's business cards. Emerging radio factories, watch factories, and refrigerator factories are booming. Following the upgrade of Yangshupu Power Plant, Wujing Power Plant, Shidongkou Power Plant, and Jiading Power Plant were erected.

    ¡°The two sentences ¡°China¡¯s Wall Street, Oriental Night in Paris¡± have become synonymous with Shanghai.

    After the "Shanghai Communique", all countries have withdrawn concessions. Except for Hong Kong, there are no longer any special areas on Chinese territory.  From being an aloof and above the law in the past to becoming an ordinary foreign businessman today, some people have long been dissatisfied.

    There were many guests in the banquet hall on the third floor of Swire & Co.'s Shanghai headquarters, and the guests danced to the melodious sound of saxophone.  Next to the window on the left.  William Hamill, who earned huge profits for the Bank during the silver crisis, took out his cigar and stared at the large construction site opposite the Bank.  That is the Shanghai headquarters building of China Gulf Oil Company, which has just broken ground. This upstart Far East company has successively acquired Sumatra oil fields and Saudi oil fields, and has invested in Sino-US Zhanjiang (North Sea) petrochemical plant, Najd refinery and other projects.  We can¡¯t wait to show off the style of a world-class company.  So they hired architects from the United States and Germany and started building this 210-meter-tall skyscraper in Asia!

    But this record may not last long, because just 3 kilometers away, an old city is being demolished, and that land has been bought by another super oil company, China Huachen Petroleum Company.  It is said that Huachen Petroleum Company will start construction of a skyscraper taller than the Gulf Oil Building in a year  As God testifies, there was not a single high-rise building above 10 stories here 18 years ago.  But now there are dozens of 100-meter-high buildings such as Shanghai Hotel, International Hotel, Jiangnan Group and Qiuxin Group Buildings!

    Yes!  No one can change the ancient feudal China to a new look overnight, let alone eliminate the slums overnight, not even the strongest figures in the Far East can do it.  But this change that can be seen every day, this desire and pursuit of heights, makes the most critical political commentators have to admit that Yang Qiu has created a miracle that is almost impossible to replicate!

    However, William Hamill was extremely dissatisfied with this development, biting his cigar and blowing heavily through his nose.  He has always felt that Yang Qiu could succeed except for his early governance methods.  More importantly, it is because of the inexplicable compromise at the last moment of the last silver crisis that China has been able to survive safely for 6 years. Otherwise, how would it have the money to challenge the skyscrapers!

    "William. Why haven't you seen Mr. Jacob?" A German businessman involved in speculation came over.  This Jewish man named Brad used to be an analyst for a trust company in Germany. When Yang Qiu visited Germany last time to introduce Jewish technicians, he moved to Shanghai and opened his own trust company. With his sharp tongue, he attracted people  He received a lot of investment, and he contributed 100 million yuan of the 1.7 billion short orders this time.

    William Hamill withdrew his gaze and said playfully: "Mr. Jacob has returned to England. I think he I'm afraid he doesn't have time now."

    The two of them smiled knowingly. They both knew what was going on with the Wall Street stock market crash and the London short order. Unfortunately, they were all marginal figures and could not participate in such a century-old gamble. They could only pick up small bargains in the surrounding markets.  certainly.  If China falls into a low ebb in development due to the U.S. economic crisis, 1.7 billion can turn into dozens or even tens of billions!

    Brad rolled up his tongue and said with a thick German accent: "William, why don't you think the Chinese have rescued the market until now? I heard last week that their bank??Funds are being mobilized from all over the country¡­.  "

    "Don't worry, the Bank of China's efficiency has been very slow. If it hadn't been last time" William Hamill was just about to mention his great achievements in catching his opponents off guard during the last silver crisis.  But thinking about the final ending, he shut up: "If you want to eat our selling orders, you must raise enough funds and ensure that the stock market cannot continue to fall! So they need a lot of money. Mr. Jacob has already called, and they are in Europe  If the funds cannot be returned to the country, there will definitely be some minor problems."

    Brad nodded, as if he had seen the huge profits, and laughed and said: "That's great! William, do you think that if Mr. Yang Qiu loses this time, he can still come to power smoothly?"

    "Who comes to power has nothing to do with us. I am only interested in money! When this is over, I am going to forcibly acquire some of Mr. Yang Qiu's companies! He needs to pay the price for his arrogance!" William Hamill's suggestion made Brad very tempted.  : "That's right! We can forcibly acquire Jiangnan stocks on the market, and then bribe other shareholders at a high price. After completing the control, we can inject several times of capital to dilute the equity. His company"

    "It's ours! Ha" What's more exciting than acquiring the Chinese President's property?  William Hamill laughed loudly with his cigar in his mouth, but when his laughter reached his throat, he suddenly saw more than a dozen Chinese tax police officers rushing in. Behind the tax police officers were several men in black uniforms.

    "Stop, this is Taikoo Matheson."

    ¡°Get out of here, this is a private party!¡±

    "Where did you come from? I want to sue you."

    The heavily armed tax police disrupted the party, and the bodyguards of Taikoo Matheson immediately stepped forward to stop them.  Seeing that he was about to win, William Hamill didn't want to cause trouble, so he stepped forward and waved his fingers to let everyone disperse, and asked sternly: "Who are you? Why did you come to ruin my party?"

    "Mr. William Hamill?" A man in black uniform came out.  He took out a small red book from his pocket, opened it and waved it in front of William Hamill's eyes: "Investigator of the Economic Crimes Section of the National Security Bureau of China, we now suspect that you and Swire Bank are involved in financial fraud against our country. From this moment on  , everything you say will become evidence in court! We will temporarily freeze all your company¡¯s property in China. Stop all business until the investigation is completed!¡±

    William Hamill was stunned for a moment, financial fraud?  Freeze all funds?  !  Before he could wake up, Brad rushed over and cursed: "Assholes, you yellow-skinned monkeys, Mr. William is an upright man, he"

    "Mr. Brad!" The investigator said with a straight face, slowly turning his head and staring at Brad with sharp eyes: "Herman Trust Company is your company, right? I'm very sorry. You must also go back with us to accept the investigation! Because someone reported that you were trying to disrupt my country's normal financial order and colluding with unscrupulous businessmen to make huge profits, which has violated my country's national security law."

    "National Security Law?!" Brad was furious and said angrily: "I am a German citizen, you are doing this illegally, I want to sue you, I want"

    "I hope you can cooperate in a friendly manner. According to our country's laws, I have the right to kill any suspect who tries to resist!" The man just finished speaking.  More than a dozen tax policemen all pulled open the gun safety, and the sound of Kaka being loaded made the banquet hall suddenly quiet.  The man then got closer to the two of them and said in a serious tone: "I advise you two to cooperate. At this special moment, all countries have begun to crack down on financial crimes, so I don't think Britain and Germany will declare war on our country because of their deaths!"

    William Hamill smoked his cigar and suddenly dropped it to the ground. Brad's hands and feet were even colder.  Shameless, so shameless!  They who were preparing to celebrate just now never thought that Yang Qiu would not be rich in money this time, but would use the simplest method to deal with speculation in the financial market!

    Early the next morning, a series of shocking news suddenly broke out from Shanghai!

    British Swire Bank was shut down due to suspected financial violations!  The famous Hermann Trust Company in the Far East was seized!  The Dutch Mantley Bank was shut down!  American Johnston Trust Insurance Company was seized!  Wait a minute, a full 47 well-known foreign-funded companies in Shanghai and the Far East were all seized and frozen overnight!  By the afternoon, bigger news broke.  The funds of more than a dozen foreign banks in China, including Citibank of the United States, HSBC of the United Kingdom, Standard Chartered Bank, Andres Bank of France, etc., have been temporarily frozen!

    At the same time, the Shanghai Stock Exchange announced that it will temporarily freeze all transaction records before May 30, and will announce whether the transactions are valid after the Ministry of Justice investigates whether anyone has violated regulations.

    On the same day, thousands of companies and buyers across the country suddenly canceled all orders from foreign-invested enterprises in China, even if the cancellation would bring heavy fines.  This round of cancellations is unprecedented.  In just one week, including Newport Huludao Shipyard, Nelson Heilongjiang Refinery, U.S. Steel Qingdao?? Branch, Hankou GE Electric China Branch, All-American Port Company Hangzhou Bay Branch, and more than 400 companies in China that entered China after the silver crisis have all had their orders withdrawn!

    By noon on the third day, the biggest news broke!

    In view of the serious speculation in the domestic financial market and the possible economic recession, the Republic of China Congress authorized the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Justice to use all means to combat financial crimes. At the same time, it also passed a temporary economic bill to stop all exchange operations and strictly ordered all Chinese investors and  All foreign-funded enterprises must use RMB as the only settlement unit, and foreign orders to China must also be settled in RMB!

    ¡­Everyone was stunned and speechless!  How can we recoup the entire US$4.2 billion investment without orders?  The domestic financial crisis in the United States has intensified, and the parent company is still waiting for overseas companies to get through the crisis with blood transfusions. How can it still transfuse blood when all business is suddenly gone?  The most important thing is that with a RMB settlement, it is impossible to even absorb foreign orders!  Okay, I can tolerate this and just settle in RMB, but you fucking stopped the exchange business!

    "Protest! Protest! We want to protest!" Hundreds of foreign businessmen held high slogans and brought technicians from China and hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers facing unemployment to lodge the strongest protest to the Republic of China government. The embassies of various countries in China were even blocked.  Instantly packed!
