The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn Chen Dajin seems to understand, but he understands a truth, that is, if he cannot enter the East China Chamber of Commerce, he may be 'encircled and suppressed' by this organization at any time.

From this day on, the three words 'nation', 'management' and 'encirclement and suppression' were deeply imprinted in his mind.

When Chen Dajin came to Shanghai Huadong Hotel, he realized that the most luxurious floor of Shanghai Huadong Hotel is not open to the public.

This floor is only open to members of the East China Business Association, and it is specially used for the business association to hold banquets.

As soon as he entered, Chen Dajin saw several armed soldiers, they politely invited Chen Dajin aside, and took out a document for him to sign. [

It was a confidential document, requiring Chen Dajin not to disclose any content of the East China Chamber of Commerce to any non-members of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise he would be secretly arrested.

The soldier repeatedly asked Chen Dajin, "Do you understand?"

Chen Dajin nodded vigorously, then signed his name on the document, and then was released.

As his father-in-law entered, Chen Dajin saw a large restaurant with various snacks, fruits, and drinks on the tables.

There were many figures inside, and everyone was wearing Hanfu. I immediately understood why my father-in-law asked him to wear Hanfu.

People are holding wine glasses, talking and laughing in groups of three or four.

Chen Dajin's father-in-law explained to him: "Wearing Hanfu is the rule of business associations, but banquets are sometimes held in Western style."

Suddenly Chen Dajin's eyes bulged, because he saw a person, and that person was actually a big gangster in Shanghai——Du Yuesheng.

What made him even more unbelievable was that Du Yuesheng nodded and bowed to several people, looking like a slave. How could this have the style of a Shanghai gangster?

"What's so interesting." Chen Dajin's father-in-law patted him on the head angrily.

"Father, look, look, that..." Chen Dajin secretly pointed at Du Yuesheng.

"Which one?"

"That's it, Du Yuesheng."

"Cut, who am I talking about! That young gangster from the Green Gang, to put it bluntly, is a dog raised by the business association. Even if he hides in the concession, the president can crush him to death at any time, like that Huang Jinrong, who died last year. He was slaughtered by the president. So this kind of person can't get on the stage and is not worthy of your attention. But the one next to Du Yuesheng is Mr. Chen Guangfu, the president of East China Bank, and you have the opportunity to get along with him."

"Oh!" Chen Dajin responded, but his mind was very confused, who is the president?It has such a huge energy.

At this moment, Chen Guangfu looked over to Chen Dajin, then left Du Yuesheng who was flattering at the side, and walked towards Chen Dajin with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, you are welcome to come to participate in the activities of our East China Chamber of Commerce, my lord, Chen Guangfu." Chen Guangfu greeted Chen Dajin after walking over.

Recently, Chen Dajin has really been in the limelight, and has been established as a typical figure by public opinion for publicity.

Chen Dajin was at a loss when facing this Chinese financial authority, he didn't know what he was talking about.Chen Guangfu asked Chen Dajin: "I wonder if you are interested in joining our East China Chamber of Commerce?" [

"Yes, yes." Chen Dajin nodded quickly.

"Well! Come with me! I'll handle membership procedures for you." Chen Guangfu smiled and said to Chen Dajin, with a very kind attitude. Chen Dajin's father-in-law was dumbfounded when he saw it. What's the situation?

For ordinary people to join the association, there is no need to ask Chen Guangfu to go through the membership procedures in person. You must know that Chen Guangfu is a senior member of the business association.

……

Two days later, people saw a breaking news in the newspaper: "Chen Dajin, the railway investment tycoon, fought against the Shanghai Stock Exchange again, and invested a huge sum of 200 million yuan in railway stocks."

200 million!

"East China Daily" also published a photo of Chen Dajin's exclusive interview. In the interview, Chen Dajin said: "I regret selling railway stocks. In fact, railway investment is a long-term investment. Short-term price fluctuations are not important. The most important thing is that I firmly believe that the future of railway transportation can bring me long-term and stable dividends. However, I used to regard railway investment as a short-term investment, but it was a crooked way, so I have to adjust my route in time to serve the motherland. contribution to the construction of the railway.”

"Mr. Chen Dajin, as far as I know, you only have about 100 million yuan in property. Where did you raise another 100 million yuan from?" the reporter asked.

Chen Dajin replied: "This is the money I borrowed from the bank."

"What collateral was used?"

"It is the property of my father-in-law's family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very supportive of me. They say that the construction of the railway is a great cause related to the rise of the nation. It is very wrong to withdraw capital from the stock market."

"Then aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"Even if it is a loss, it is only a superficial price loss, because what I do is long-term stock investment, and I don't value the stock price, but only the future profit of the railway company. In terms of the current economic environment in China, the future The prosperity of railway transportation is completely predictable, and the railways built today are the main lines connecting the provinces, which are completely different from the branch railways." Chen Dajin replied confidently.

Chen Dajin's heroic feat immediately infected many investors. At the end of August, China's railway investment boom reached its peak, all the way to the peak price of 8 yuan per share in 1914.

At this time, Jiang Yu's consortium has successfully withdrawn from the stock market. After a series of operations, it was originally expected to withdraw only 30 billion from the stock market, but now it has withdrawn 52 billion.

Zhou Ziyue called Jiang Yu very excitedly, and reported to Jiang Yu: "Now we have nearly 60 billion funds in hand, and there are still 50 billion railway loans outside."

This is the income after selling most of the railway shares. At this time, China Railway stocks are indeed a bit inflated.

You must know that the cost price of the 68 kilometers of railways completed is only nearly 60 billion, and the money originally used for these railways was borrowed by Jiangyu.

At this time, the total amount of funds in China was about 200 billion. First, Jiang Yu borrowed nearly 12 billion pounds, which was 120 billion yuan. A small half of this money was spent abroad, and at least 80 billion domestically.

Since Jiang Yu returned to China for 10 years to develop agriculture, industry, and commerce, China's export volume has increased significantly, and a large number of people have been invested in industrial production. The total output value of the first few provinces alone has reached 100 billion.

So one after another, the total amount of money in China (silver dollars) has grown to a scale of 200 billion.

The scale of private funds calculated by Chen Guangfu before is only money stored in banks such as East China Bank and Northwest Bank, but at this time in China, only Jiang Yu can open a bank. [

There are many foreign-funded banks, as well as the Bank of China established by Sheng Xuanhuai. At the same time, there are still many banks that are surviving tenaciously.

The withdrawal from the stock market this time directly enabled Jiang Yu to obtain 60 billion in cash, and also borrowed 50 billion in foreign debts for railway investment.

"Let's start harvesting!" Jiang Yu said, getting the money is not the end of the matter, the problem is that the railway is no longer in his hands, and what needs to be done now is to get the railway back into his hands. (to be continued)
