Republic of China 1927

() After leaving the station, Du Yan boarded a carriage and came to Zhongxin Bank as planned. He had already made an appointment with Qian Zhixin, the shopkeeper of the bank, to discuss matters.

"I can't get through the front." At a crossroads away from the bank, the driver said cautiously, "Can you get off here, sir?"

"Why can't we make it through?" Du Yan asked suspiciously, remembering that there was only one intersection left.

"Most of the banks in the city are unwilling to exchange cash, only the Zhongxin Bank you want to go to is still doing unlimited exchange!" The driver said slowly: "But if you want to exchange money, I advise you to count it out." Well, I’m sure I won’t be able to make it today.”

"Really? I won't exchange the money, so I'll take a look." Du Yan asked thoughtfully, "However, my family is saving money, so I don't know how to exchange it?"

"It's really hard to say. A while ago there was still [-] to [-] percent. Thank God for the achievement of [-] percent in the past two days!" The coachman said sadly, "Fortunately, I calculated the exchange early, otherwise the accumulated family fortune would be ruined." It's trash."

"Isn't the bank just taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the government doesn't care?" Du Yan asked intentionally. He wanted to see how the people would react to this.

"Guest officer, I don't like to hear your words. It's good if the banknote can be exchanged. This banknote is not issued by the banknote. If you want to be wronged, you will be wronged..." The coachman didn't say anything when he saw someone talking around him. Going on, the meaning is very clear. If you want to blame, you can blame those warlords and corrupt officials in Jinan City.

"Zheng Fu doesn't care about it anymore. Many people who work in Zheng Fu come to exchange money." The driver saw Du Yanlai immobile in the car and said impatiently: "If you want to go to the bank, get off here. Hurry up!"

"Okay." Du Yan jumped out of the car with a smile, took out a piece of ocean and threw it to the driver. The driver weighed it in his hand before leaving happily.

The closer you get to the bank, the more people there are. Along the way, the crowd is clamoring and clamoring, pushing forward regardless of everything, and surrounds Zhongxin Bank, even though most people only hold tens of yuan or hundreds of yuan. A single dollar bill, or even just a few one or five dollar bills, though it is likely to be their personal or family property.

At the gate, the order improved slightly due to the presence of more than a dozen silver horn guards and police officers wielding police sticks, and people lined up consciously or unconsciously.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Du Yan yelled as he squeezed in, but there were so many people that he couldn't squeeze in near the gate.Although he repeatedly declared that he was not here to cash in, others simply did not believe his words.

"Young Master Du, Young Master Du!" Just when Du Xin was at a loss, a waiter from a bank outside saw him, so he waved his arms and greeted him.

"You are Xiaotian." Du Yan followed the voice to find the person's location, and squeezed out with great effort.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, you still remember me." Oda secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said courteously: "There is no way to go here, you follow me to the small door at the back."

"Why are there so many people, is it like this every day?" Du Yan straightened his clothes that were shoved into a mess and frowned and asked, "Can the bank handle it?"

"Normally not, it only takes about ten days." Oda sighed and said, "Where are you so busy, the guy at the counter doesn't even have time to eat."

"I don't know what the shopkeeper thinks, even the banks in the city don't dare to accept money, and we are the only ones who open their mouths to eat!" Seeing that Du Yan didn't speak, Xiaotian muttered again.

"The shopkeeper must have his purpose in doing this, let's go in quickly." Du Yan helped to distinguish, even the staff below didn't understand, one can imagine how much pressure Qian Zhixin was under.

"It's only been ten days, and 20 to [-] oceans have already been exchanged from the Guangzong account, so the whole bank account has cost at least [-] oceans." Qian Zhixin said to himself while dialing the abacus in the account room. : "I don't know how long this situation can last. Eldest Young Master hopes that your prediction is correct, otherwise our bank will lose a lot!"

"Haha, what are you talking about, Uncle Qian?" The door was ajar, Du Yan walked in, and said with a big smile, "Are you talking bad about me?"

"Guanghua is here. I just finished the ten days' accounts." Qian Zhixin hurriedly got up and pulled Du Yan to his side, and handed over the calculated accounts.

"The situation is great! It's almost 50 in just ten days." Du Yan just glanced at it and put it aside.

"Guanghua, I'm getting more and more money. I'm in a panic." Qian Zhixin said worriedly. Although he was persuaded by Du Yan to carry out the plan, he still had no confidence in his heart. The first gist of a bank account is the word "stability".

"Don't worry, Uncle Qian, just let go and receive at the end of the month, and gradually reduce the exchange amount at the beginning of next month." Du Yan said with confidence, at least according to the few months he traveled, the big situation has not changed.

What's more, in terms of strength alone, the main force of the Zhi-Shandong coalition army still exists, and the backbone of the Sun army is still there. flank.

"By the end of the month, our head office will have to exchange at least 50 yuan, and the entire bank account may exceed 5000 yuan." Qian Zhixin took a breath and said, "The total amount of provincial banknotes and government bonds in circulation in the market is only [-] to [-] million yuan. , our family only eats about [-]% of it.”

"It's only 50 oceans, and the bank account should be available." Du Yan said lightly, "If you can't, I can still deal with it." The expense and cost are still acceptable.

"That's not necessary. In the previous stage, we started to return cash, and we can still get 50." Qian Zhixin waved his hand and said, "It's just that there is a lack of circulating funds, and other businesses have to stop."

"Stop it, stop it. As long as it operates properly this time, the bank's share capital will at least double." Du Yan said comfortingly: "Other business losses will be lost."

"Guanghua, if the Northern Expeditionary Army comes over, the 50 oceans will be in vain. The money we collect may not be as good as waste paper." Qian Zhixin said still worriedly: "This is gambling. , and it’s a bet against the general trend.”

"Uncle Qian, you are right. We are betting that the dog meat Zhang can not only survive this period of time, but also carry out a large-scale counterattack to regain Xuzhou, and even fight the entire Jiangbei again." Du Yan clicked. He nodded and said, "As long as Shandong is in Gou Rou Zhang's hands for a day, there is still a chance to turn around if you save money."

"But if you look at these newspapers, they all analyze that the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces will soon be unable to survive." Qian Zhixin pointed to several newspapers in the corner and said, just like Sun Jun and the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces who did not believe that the Northern Expedition Army could defeat Jiangbei in one fell swoop. Similarly, now he can't believe that the Zhishan-Shandong Allied Forces, which have been defeated like a mountain, can survive.

"Didn't I say that we will attack and defend the different positions soon. Originally, the Zhishan coalition forces fought on the outside line, the supply line was long, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Now, on the contrary, they returned to the inside line, and the supply line was very short. In order to protect the final base, they had to fight to the death." war." Du Yan paused and said: "On the other hand, the Northern Expeditionary Army won most of the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, and the expansion of the territory will soon leave a place with heavy troops to appease, which reduces the number of troops on the front line, and the offensive has weakened."

"But wasn't the Sulu border also breached by the Northern Expeditionary Army?" Qian Zhixin asked back. It is rumored that the reconnaissance troops sent by the Northern Expeditionary Army have touched the front lines of Tai'an and Linqu.

"It's just some infiltration, so it's nothing to worry about." Du Yan said with a smile. The Northern Expeditionary Army on the East Road has just arrived in the sun, and the Central Road is besieging Linyi, and the West Road is going north along Jinpu Road. The progress is not smooth.

"The most important thing is that the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Nanjing is unstable, and it may be copied by the Wuhan side at any time." Du Yan finally released a blockbuster. An unstable rear is a big taboo for military strategists.

"No? Both are Sun Wen's old ministries, and the possibility of the same room fighting is not very high." Qian Zhixin said suspiciously. Originally, after the "April [-]" purge, the northern newspapers had been clamoring for the internal revolutionaries to fight against each other. The fire merged, but they gave up their previous suspicions and continued the Northern Expedition unanimously.

"Times have changed! Two months ago, the remnants of the Zhilu Allied Army and the Five Provinces Allied Army Chen Bing Jiangbei, Fengjun and the remnants of the Zhijun Army hoarded in the south of Henan. Both Nanjing and Wuhan were at risk. Now both sides have expanded their territories and consolidated their strength. The original territory will naturally focus on fighting for dominance." Du Yan continued to explain patiently: "According to the information I have, the 15th and [-]th armies, the main forces in Nanjing, have been transferred back to the central Anhui area."

"It's a pity that Guanghua doesn't leave the mountain to lead the army with your talent." Speaking of this, Qian Zhixin was completely convinced.

"However, even if the situation changes according to our ideas, it will be quite difficult to exchange the hoarded provincial banknotes and public bonds back to foreign currency!" Qian Zhixin put down the matter of exchange and began to think about the issue of shipping when the provincial banknotes rise.

"This shouldn't bother you, Uncle Qian. I only have one request to exchange it for gold bars and silver dollars as much as possible, and hoard the rest of the supplies that are in short supply, especially food." Du Yan said with a smile. Since the old guy Qian Zhixin agreed and implemented He must have planned the follow-up plan of this plan.

"It's just that the bank's manpower may not be enough." Qian Zhixin nodded and said, the subsequent plan involves the acquisition, resale and storage of various materials, and the bank does not have this kind of manpower.

"The Du family's shops and businesses in Qingzhou are all at your disposal, and you can go to the people from the Xiao family if you have any problems." Du Yan thought for a while and said, "However, transfer the materials and cash back to Linqu as much as possible. "

"Uncle Qian, please don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't trust you, and this Qingzhou city is attracting attention from all sides on the railway line." Before Qian Zhixin could respond to Du Yan, he explained that the most important thing is that Linqu is under the control of the mobile detachment. , more secure.

"I understand. If you don't mention it, I plan to move the headquarter's treasury to Linqu." Qian Zhixin said nonchalantly.

The two of you talked to each other to complete the bottom-buying plan, and before you knew it, it was already dark, the shops outside were closed, and the crowd on the street had dispersed.

"Guanghua, I'll stay at the bank tonight." Seeing that it was getting late, Qian Zhixin came and said cheerfully, "Let's get some side dishes and let's have a drink."

"Next time, I have to go out of the city." Du Yan said apologetically, Qian Zhixin didn't force him to stay after seeing this, and sent Du Yan to the front door.

"Shopkeeper, Young Master Du, there is martial law outside, and the police are arresting important criminals all over the city!" Xiao Tian said in a hurry when he arrived at the door.

"Then I'll go through the back door." Du Yan pondered for a moment and said, he knew who he was looking for outside.

Weeping blood for recommendation and collection.
