    The table suddenly became cold, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Although the career of this old man named Chen was not as big as Liu Zhiping's Houde Bank, he was more prudent and down-to-earth, and he was also a first-class big shot. After his reminder, everyone  I immediately thought of Liu Zhiping's ruthless tactics. Could it be that this time he gave them a little sweetness first, and then set up a trap for them to take advantage of?  "Haha, Mr. Chen, you are still so careful. Anyway, I will explain the whole thing clearly, so that everyone will not worry in vain!" Liu Zhiping said with a smile: "You should know that the Japanese sent troops to Ryukyu not long ago.  The Ryukyu royal family detained all of us, the supervisor of Dashun, in an attempt to annex them, right? " "Of course you know. I heard that the imperial court has sent envoys to ask the Japanese to withdraw from Ryukyu and release the royal family.  You won't agree!" "The Japanese are so bold in a small country, how dare they resist destiny?" A middle-aged man was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.  "Think about it, I heard that this time the Japanese army had more than ten ships and thousands of soldiers, and it cost a lot. If they were withdrawn with an edict, wouldn't all these expenses be thrown into the water?" Liu Wu interfaced  Said: "That's true. We have also dealt with the Japanese. It's just a word - poor. For a dozen taels of silver, he would even sell his own sister! If such a large sum of money is lost like this, what's the point?  I felt so distressed that I had to cut myself in the belly!" Liu Wu's words immediately caused the whole table to burst into laughter. Even the old man surnamed Chen, who had been sitting upright, burst into tears and pointed at Liu Wu out of breath.  "Well, you narrow-minded Liu Wu, the Japanese don't take their own girls as seriously as you said, right? I'm afraid you are the only one who can tell such an immoral joke all over Shanghai!" Liu Wu said loudly: "Mr. Chen  , that¡¯s not necessarily the case! Look at the brothels in Shanghai and Guangzhou where there are no Japanese bitches. Even in Southeast Asia, Luzon, Sabah, Sarawak, and Annan, there are even local ones everywhere!  We can't beat them, everyone is well-informed, Liu Wu is not making this up, is it?" This was a black-faced man who said: "Liu Wu, we are not as well-informed as you in this regard, or are you?  Please explain to us the activities of Japanese women!¡± ¡°Yes, you, Liu Wu, are the best in this regard!¡± There was a burst of laughter at the table. It is not surprising that since Japan¡¯s Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government  They began to spend a lot of money to subsidize domestic enterprises, introduce technology, and encourage exports.  At that time, Japan's more competitive industries, such as the silk and cotton textile industries, all overlapped with Dashun. Over the years, the trade war has been a life-and-death battle. Naturally, these bankers had nothing good to say about these bitter enemies.  Liu Wu was also having fun, so he imitated the storyteller and emphasized: "In that case, I will show my shame. If all the judges are satisfied with what I heard, I will give you some tea money!" At this point, he said to everyone  They bowed together and said loudly: "These Japanese women, in terms of figure and appearance, have nothing to offer, they are better than the barbarians in Luzon and Sabah. Their faces are painted as white as dead people. If it is midnight,  Li suddenly saw that she was frightened to death. Her only advantage was that she was gentle and carefree, and she had no temper at all. "At this time, someone else interrupted: "Brother Liu, you are so understanding.  , I must have seen a lot!" "That's natural, if any brother is interested, I will show him the way!" Liu Wu was already proud when he said this.  Suddenly, he glanced at Liu Zhiping's face, and found that there was already a bit of color on the other person's face, and he couldn't help but scream secretly.  This old man mentioned that the Japanese invaded Ryukyu and clearly had other motives. He said so many nonsense, which clearly messed up his situation. He was a man of shame and jealousy. No one who offended him in the business world would not be ruined by him.  Don't try to talk happily and cause yourself an unreasonable disaster.  "Okay, everyone, don't forget about business. Please continue talking, Mr. Liu. After today's event is over, any brother who is interested can come back and become my boss!" Liu Wu spoke to Liu Zhiping.  Flattery.  "This guy knows what's going on!" Liu Zhiping sneered in his belly, but with a smile on his face: "That's fine, I'll finish the story quickly and let this guy come up and talk about something more interesting!" He coughed.  He said: "Everyone, just now Liu mentioned that the Japanese invaded Ryukyu and seized the Ryukyu king. The imperial court will definitely send troops. And the money spent on sending troops is like running water. Everyone knows the financial situation of the imperial court.  There is no money left, so the imperial court will definitely issue debts on a large scale. Everyone understands it!" Everyone at the table showed a knowing smile. What Liu Zhiping did was a serial plan. He first sold off the national debts in his hands and sold them.  The price was set low, and then the low price was used to secretly earn money, making a huge profit.  At the same time, as a result, the price of government bonds on the market has fallen miserably, and the court hasWhen new government bonds are issued, if they buy them at a lower price, the profits will be lost.  Liu Wu was the first to jump up and shouted loudly: "Liu Gongduan's good plan, who has the most money in Shanghai, it's not us. Let's do it, let's settle the plate here tonight, 30% off, the imperial government's national debt  The highest number is this, and it¡¯s up to each company to keep it lower! "It turns out that the imperial government does not issue government bonds directly to the public, but jointly issues them through several large banks, and usually there is a discount as the bank's reward.  .  For example, if one million silver treasury bonds are issued at a 15% discount, the court will actually only receive 950,000 taels of silver.  In the past, the highest discount on Dashun's government bonds was 25% or 20% off. Liu Wu suddenly raised the discount to 30% off, which was really evil.  "Yes, the court is in a hurry to spend money at this juncture. They don't have the confidence to compete with us on discounts. Besides, the price on the market is this, so it's not our fault." "Exactly, I think the 30% off price is still a bit high. In the end,  How about lowering the price, like 40% off?" Another fat man's face showed a greedy look.  "Don't be too greedy. This is the debt of the imperial court. If you offend the adults in Hanjing, you will be in a lot of trouble!" "What's wrong with the court? Doesn't the court want to use money? If you offend, you can still ransack our house."  ? If nothing else, once we close down, the whole of Shanghai, no, at least two-thirds of the factories south of the Yangtze River will have to close down. Millions of workers will have no food and no jobs. Will the government pay for them?  That¡¯s right, the imperial court is a piece of shit, adults are a piece of shit, they come up with moths all day long to torment us. The edict banning the import of grains not long ago is nonsense. Now the price of rice in Shanghai has doubled. When the price of rice rises, wages will rise.  They have to follow the increase. Colleagues who run factories complain that if the price of rice goes down, they can¡¯t bear it. If the price of rice goes up, the workers deserve to die. How much more wages will be paid every year at this price of rice?¡± said the speaker!  He also had a share in Yuxing Cotton Mill. The fat on his face trembled, and he was obviously extremely heartbroken.  "There is no result if you argue like this. Why don't you let Mr. Liu say something and decide on the tone!" "Yes, let Mr. Liu speak!" "I agree, Mr. Liu's words have the most weight at this table!" "  Since your colleagues have trusted Liu, let me say it shamelessly!" Liu Zhiping picked up the tea cup and drank some water to moisten his throat, and said solemnly: "As Liu said, just take this plate!  "40% off!" "What?" "How can this be done?" The people at the table are all well-known figures in Shanghai's financial world. They have extraordinary faces and hearts. But hearing that Liu Zhiping offered this price is a big deal.  I couldn't help but be stunned.  If it is according to what he said, if the imperial court issues five million taels of national debt, it will actually get only two million taels. As soon as these banks change hands, they will already have three million taels in hand. Even if no one buys it, the banks will take the national bonds.  In hand, based on the national debt interest rate of 5% per year, the actual interest rate is 12.5% ??annual interest, which is considered a pretty good deal.  Although this profit is huge, it is still a bit soft.  While sipping his tea, Liu Zhiping replied: "Why not? The price of government bonds on the market is less than 50% off now. We must make some profit through the first hand, and 40% off is considered a conscientious price!" "That's true.  , but the current Xianggong Wang Qinian is a strong leader, and he will definitely not agree to it. " "Since he doesn't agree, we will hold off. The court is waiting to send money, and we are not waiting to spend money.  When the price comes up, we just have to agree!" Liu Zhiping sneered: "Everything in the world can't be left to that Mr. Wang!" The table fell silent, and people exchanged glances.  There was excitement in both shrewd eyes.  Liu Zhiping put the tea cup on the table and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I, Liu Zhiping, don't have a loyal and patriotic heart, and deliberately made things difficult for the imperial court on the matter of national debt. But everyone has also seen the ban on grain imports this time. The imperial court  Some of them don't care about the life and death of our industrial and commercial community. They maliciously raise the price of rice for the benefit of the rent-collecting landowners. If we don't drive these people out of the court and let people who really know how to govern the country take power, the future will be ruined.  This kind of thing will only happen more and more. I, Liu Zhiping, am saying this. This time, I am not only trying to make money, but I also want to get rid of that Wang Qinian. Who agrees with me without him?  ? Who objects?" At this point, Liu Zhiping slowly raised his right hand.  "I agree too!" Liu Wu looked at the people around him, gritted his teeth and was the first to raise his hand.  "I agree too!" "I agree!" Everyone at the wine table raised his right hand. Finally, the old man surnamed Chen looked at the arms on the left and right, sighed, and raised his own arm.  "Very good, since everyone can work together, then things can be done!  "Liu Zhiping raised his glass and said: "I won't say more. As long as everyone works together, Dashun will definitely be our world!  " Hanking, train station. The train station was heavily guarded. Passengers in a hurry looked at two rows of guards armed with rifles in surprise, isolating a corner of the platform from the rest of the station. A few curious passengers just poked their heads over there.  An officer carrying a sword came over and shouted loudly. The passengers ran away in fear, creating a small whirlpool in the turbulent flow of people. "Hu Gong, Mr. Shen!"  "Wang Qinian picked up the wine glass on the tray beside him and raised it to Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao: "I wish you all the best on your trip and come back as soon as possible to raise funds!  " "Don't dare!  Hu Keqin hurriedly raised his glass in response: "My dear husband, I'm so old!"  " "Yes, the envoys to Japan have already set off, but the military affairs must be prepared, and the warships and soldiers must be prepared, so that the envoys can successfully negotiate!  So you must pay close attention to money matters!  "Wang Qinian whispered, with a rare look of worry on his face. "I understand!  Hu Keqin nodded solemnly: "It may take up to ten days, or it may take up to seven days. I will definitely get this done!"  "    "Well!  Wang Mou will send you two off!  " At this point, Wang Qinian took a step back and bowed deeply to Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao, forcing the two of them to get out of the way quickly, not daring to accept such a great gift from him.
