In 1921, Shanghai already had more than 70 exchanges.
The speed at which exchanges are being opened is jaw-dropping.
The whole of Shanghai is obsessed with stocks.
The "rubber stock market crash" that happened just a few years ago has long been forgotten.
Among them, there is the Shanghai Securities Exchange.
This exchange not only trades other people's stocks, it also lists itself and trades its own stocks on its own premises.
That year, a businessman named He Wenping was persuaded by a broker from the stock exchange to open an account at the stock exchange. Not only did he put all his wealth on it, he also used real estate as a mortgage at the instigation of the broker. The bank loaned a large amount of money.
That year, Shanghai fell into stock madness.
There are stock traders and stockbrokers everywhere.
Among them was a stockbroker who later became China's supreme leader.
While they were dreaming of getting rich, in September, the banking business began to tighten money and call back loans for the sake of capital security.
Investors are caught off guard and 10% of them go bankrupt.
A chain reaction began, and history repeated itself again in Shanghai.
Among the bankrupts was He Wenping.
Like countless people who jumped from buildings, he also jumped from the top of the building.
However, the broker who instigated him to do stocks fully cooperated with the bank to liquidate He Wenping's property and kicked out He Wenping's wife and children, leaving him homeless.
This is He Wenping’s story.
And this girl is He Wenping's daughter.
"I am his daughter." The girl's face was full of anger: "My mother was sick and handed me over to my aunt that day. She jumped into the Huangpu River by herself at night. When I became sensible, I just found out about this, but unfortunately, my aunt doesn’t know who the stockbroker is. I only know that he later joined Citibank. Shi Meifeng, tell me if that person is you!"
"I really don't remember."
Shi Meifeng turned her head and glanced not knowing where to look: "I worked at the Securities Exchange, and I also helped many people open accounts. There are so many people, and so many years have passed, I won't remember this person."
The girl actually didn't know what to do.
The one-eyed dragon "Uncle Xia" said: "Don't listen to her. Since she did it there and came to Citibank again, it must be her! Kill her and avenge your father!"
"Etc., etc!"
A young man suddenly shouted.
"What do you want to do!" The girl's gun was immediately pointed at him.
"I have something to say, don't shoot." Meng Shaoyuan stood up, came to Shi Meifeng, and looked at her: "She is lying."
"I didn't." Shi Meifeng shouted loudly.
"You lied." Meng Shaoyuan was unmoved at all: "When you said you didn't remember this person, your face moved, and it was connected to the sphincter of the pupil. This expression betrayed you, because it was an obvious Lying reaction.”
"Who are you?" the girl couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a customer here to deposit money, and I'm here to help you."
The girl didn't care about Meng Shaoyuan's true identity and said sternly: "Shi Meifeng, what else can you argue with."
"Don't worry, I said she lied, but she is not necessarily the one who instigated your father." Meng Shaoyuan said quickly.
The girl was a little confused.
Meng Shaoyuan pointed at Shi Meifeng: "She was lying, but the expression she showed was sadness, not guilt. It's easy to confuse sadness and guilt. Another thing is that she didn't feel any guilt.
Only a hopeless person would behave like this. But she was not. When she was identified by her colleagues, I found that she still looked sad, but she did not blame her colleagues. This kind of person is not the kind of cold-blooded person. "
Girls, like everyone else, become more and more confused as they listen: "What on earth are you talking about?"
"I am slowly unraveling the mystery." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "She knew your father, but why did she lie? She could have denied having anything to do with your father's death, but she did not do so. Only One reason is that she is protecting someone.
Because she knows that as long as she admits knowing your father, you will pursue her, and maybe this person will be exposed. Shi Meifeng, am I right? Who are you protecting? "
Shi Meifeng's voice trembled slightly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You know, you know better than anyone else. I just noticed that this... female robber, when the name He Wenping was mentioned, she acted very nervous, and her body shrank back reflexively. This It’s just the ostrich mentality of people, as if if you shrink back a little, others won’t notice you. Moreover, when the female robber told her tragic past, you looked over there, and it was this person you looked at! "
His hand pointed suddenly: "That's him, isn't it!"
Everyone's eyes fell on a middle-aged man.
"He is Zou Kunshun, the chief of our loan department, and he has been here for many years." Xu Jisheng immediately said, "The qualification is older than mine. He was there when I switched jobs from Jincheng Bank to Citigroup."
"Before me too." Thomas muttered.
"You, come out!" the girl said sternly.
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!" Zou Kunshun stood up in a panic: "I've never done stocks, I've never done voting, and I've never been a broker, really."
"Another typical manifestation of lying." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "When Shi Meifeng looked at you, you deliberately avoided her eyes. You said the sentence 'I have never done stocks' twice in succession. The second time For the first time, there was an obvious sense of urgency, and the 'really' purpose was to strengthen the other party's trust. Besides, if you are a person in a bank and say you have never done stocks, who would believe it?"
After saying that, he looked at the girl: "If you ask him that, he will definitely not tell the truth. If it were me, I would pierce his knee first, and if he didn't tell me, I would pierce his other knee." knee!"
"I come!"
Uncle Xia stepped forward and pointed his gun at Zou Kunshun's knee.
"I said, I said!"
Zou Kunshun screamed miserably: "Don't shoot, don't shoot. I, I know your father He Wenping, and I asked him to trade stocks together. But who didn't trade stocks in Shanghai at that time? In stocks, of course there are losses and losses, then I also suffered heavy losses. How did I know that He Wenping would jump off the building!"
The girl raised the gun again, pointing the muzzle at Zou Kunshun: "I know, whether it's doing business or stock trading, if you lose, you just lose, and you can't blame anyone. But why do you instigate Dad again and again?" The house was mortgaged? Why did you help the bank to kick mom and me out as soon as something happened? I wanted to avenge my mom and dad. I have been waiting for many years, and today I finally got the chance!"
"He is guilty, but he does not deserve to die." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "As long as you shoot today, you will become a prisoner."
"I don't care, I just want him to die and avenge my parents!"
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "With me here, do you think you have a chance to shoot?"
