Chapter 571 The Nature of Capitalists!
"Then I want the lion to open his mouth." Ye Luo winked at them, acting like a profiteer.
This actually reassured the principal and others. Being able to continue joking meant that Ye Luo felt that his conditions were not excessive.
We are all people of high status, and if we really fall apart because of interests, no one will look good.
Especially when facing a rich man like Ye Luo, the principal will try his best to avoid antagonizing him.
"Go ahead, I will agree to your request directly, no matter how much you ask." As the top leader in the south, the principal still has this power.
Moreover, the high-level members of the Kuomintang Party from the principal's faction are basically gathered here. Even if it is something that he cannot express in public, people here will acquiesce and it can be passed smoothly within the Kuomintang.
"First, all the silver I acquire in the market must be deposited in my bank vault. I don't want to use dispensable paper agreements to protect my own interests. I hope you can understand this, principal."
Ye Luo raised his finger and started to say,
"If it's one to two hundred million, I can still bear this risk, but with 1.2 billion, if something goes wrong, Ye's Investment will really go bankrupt."
"I can agree to this. But you must also ensure that this silver will never flow into the wallets of Americans. However, it will arouse people's imagination, lead to a decline in consumption and deflation." The principal nodded. He was very afraid of what happened in Japan during the Republic of China. of the Great Depression.
Now is the time for him to climb to the highest power, and there is no room for any mistakes in the process!
After Americans acquire silver, they will continue to raise the price of silver crazily, and the monetary system of the Republic of China with the silver standard as its core will inevitably collapse. What should he do then?
Historically, due to the influence of the Silver and Gold Act, the monetary system of the Republic of China gradually collapsed. However, at first, the bill proposed by Franklin did not cause much destructive power, and no one thought that they would become the second Japan.
Until, in order to resist the financial crisis, Britain, France, and Japan began to gradually cancel the gold standard system, ban gold exports, and devalue their currencies to increase international trade volume. At this point, a trade and financial war over currency rights quietly started.
After the world monetary system was severely damaged, the Republic of China was unable to support itself. In 1932, it could no longer prevent the outflow of large amounts of silver. In 1933, it "abolished the two and changed the yuan". In 1935, it officially canceled the silver standard system and began to issue legal currency to replace the original currency.
At this point, the monetary system of the Republic of China collapsed.
The principal did not prevent the impact of the Silver and Gold Act, and the financial system of the Republic of China plummeted and never recovered.
So at this time, Ye Luo paid the 1.2 billion. It seemed that the principal and the others had taken a big advantage. In fact, what was supposed to come would still come. Ye Luo just helped to create a beautiful dream for the principal, and at the same time relied on short-term loans. This 1.2 billion comes to win a series of preferential treatment in the country.
Therefore, Ye Luo attaches great importance to the movement of the silver exchanged by 1.2 billion oceans. If you only give me an IOU, who will I ask to exchange these silvers for oceans?
Whether you admit it or not is a question.
Moreover, the domestic situation in the Republic of China was complicated. Unlike Japan, the younger brother of the United States, the relationship between China and the United States would be very tortuous in the future. After the principal went to the treasure island, he gradually wanted to escape from the control of the American empire. Let alone the country, you have Franklin's guarantee. Go and change money. Do you think the people in the underground organization will be happy to give it to you?
Ye Luo wanted to maximize the value of the 1.2 billion ocean in the past few years, and did not want to really spend the money on the principal to work for his life.
"Of course, as long as it enters the vault of my bank, it will not flow to the hands of Americans. At least within two years, I can guarantee that deflation will not occur." Ye Luo vowed to make the guarantee.
Upon hearing that it had been two years, the principal felt relieved.
Even if the Silver and Gold Act had a huge impact, it couldn't last for two years, right?
As long as he stabilizes the current situation, waits until he takes over Yan Xishan's territory and troops, eradicates the underground organization, and then fights with Zhang Hanqing, he will become the third person in the great Republic of China after Mr. Sun and Yuan Datou. A real president!
"That's no problem." The principal nodded.
"Second, Ye's Investment purchased a large amount of silver at a premium price. We suffered a loss on the price and lost interest during this period. The 1.2 billion yuan could have been used to do a lot of things, but now it has become a pile of silver sitting in a warehouse. "Ye Luo said and glanced at them. These people did not dare to look directly into his eyes because they knew that they had suffered a big loss to help them solve their problems.
As long as you feel guilty, it's easier to set conditions like this.
Ye Luo paused for a moment and continued: "I don't ask the National Government to return the benefits to me. After all, I am also a Chinese and a member of the motherland. It is my duty to have the power to save the people from the fire and water, but I don't want to Do good deeds without leaving a name.”
As soon as the big hat was buttoned, the principal and others could only applaud.
"I will let the official newspapers of the Kuomintang such as the Republic of China Daily and the Central News Agency publicize this matter. If you suffer a loss of money, Ah Luo, you will naturally gain fame and fortune." The principal is familiar with this kind of thing, and then arranges a position for Ye Luo A high-power and low-key position may give him some privileges in all walks of life in Shanghai. Getting a few titles like "Justice of the Peace" is a way for Ye Luo to gain huge social fame.
If the Kuomintang wants to promote a person with all its strength, there is no need to worry that he will not be famous throughout the country.
After the principal said these words, Kong Xiangxi and others understood that Ye Luo, who was only 23 years old, would most likely secure his position as the number one businessman in the Republic of China.
This is the reputation that those consortiums and businessmen have spent their entire lives trying to gain.
It is something that will be written into the history books in the future and will leave a strong mark on the history of the Chinese people.
This will be a gold medal to avoid death, and a high hat that can be used in the future.
Ye Luo didn't know if this thing was useful, or whether the future person in power would recognize this high-hat, but it was enough to leave a sum.
Later generations will be able to comment.
Anyway, it is impossible for him to continue to live in China with Ye's investment.
At the end of the war, he retired after becoming famous.
"Third, as long as the silver is still in my treasury, I hope that during this period, Ye's investment business at home and abroad can go smoothly, especially from the National Government. I don't want anyone or any force to be concerned about my Ye. Invest and do things to stop me.”
Ye Luo looked specifically at Kong Xiangxi and the principal.
He just lacked the ability to respond with insults and name Dai Li.
"There's no problem at all." The principal agreed happily. He didn't know what would happen in the future, so he felt that Ye Luo was one of his own, so why not give him more money?
Could he still take the money and run away from the Republic of China?
Could it be that one day he would let Dai Li kill him?
"Fourth, I can't give up the salt tax and customs tax in the past few years. I also want some industries in Tianjin City and some of the conveniences after tariff independence." Ye Luo looked at Song Ziwen again.
He is the biggest competitor in these businesses.
This sentence is equivalent to the principal personally admitting that he, Ye Luo, will take the first share of the benefits brought by independent tariffs and stand aside for the rest.
When it comes to business issues, Ye Luo will show his fangs and have a different style than before.
This made Song Ziwen feel slightly uncomfortable.
After all, you are your own family. No matter how awesome your Ye family is, they can't compare to our Song family.
So blatantly taking food from a tiger's mouth, the other party is Ye Luo. He understands Ye Luo's character, and Song Ziwen can only swallow this breath.
For another person, Jiang Keting's fate would be his fate.
Ye Luo's sharpness made the Chen Guofu brothers look sideways and Zhang Hanqing was slightly surprised.
The principal still agreed readily.
At this time, in his eyes, Ye Luo is Song Ziwen's future successor. Even if the Song family and himself part ways in the future, Ye Luo will be the first to be promoted to the position of Minister of Finance.
So the principal doesn't mind these things at all.
"Finally, principal, I have to say something that is a bit outrageous and unpleasant. I hope you and everyone else don't mind." Ye Luo smiled.
The principal smiled and said: "You, you have said all the unpleasant things, is there anything else that I should mind?"
"In case, I mean in case the above things you promised to give me are discounted or not given, or you go back on your promise. If there is not a penny left of the silver in my vault, I will sell it all to the Americans."
Ye Luo smiled and said the cruelest words. (End of chapter)
