Liu Bingchong suppressed his smile and put down the tea bowl in his hand. "No need to be too polite. My purpose of coming this time is actually very simple. The Prime Minister knows that Jiangnan has been deeply affected by the Nanping crisis. All industries are in ruins and people's livelihood is suffering. He can't bear it in his heart." , so I specially asked my little brother to come and take a look, and then discuss it with everyone to see if you need the Prime Minister’s help..."
"It's needed! It's so needed..." The businessmen present were so moved that they were about to cry. "Mr. Special Envoy! You don't know the extent of the money shortage in the Suzhou market now. 90% of the workshops and shops are in such a state. Suspension and semi-suspension status..."
"There is no money to buy raw materials, no money to pay salaries. People dare not spend money if they cannot make money. All industries from upstream to downstream are unable to move because of lack of money!"
"Needless to say, everything else is paid on credit every day during this period. We trade privately on IOUs. It's because there is not enough cash and all the banknotes have disappeared. We have no choice..."
"The I-Tiao thing is of no use at all. Business friends who have been good friends for many years lend money and goods to each other. It doesn't matter whether they use I-Tiao or not. As for those small businesses and ordinary people, we don't dare to help even if we want to. It’s really too much, and 70% to 80% of it is money that cannot be recovered!”
"That's right! It's not that small businessmen are untrustworthy, but it's also difficult for them. They have little money, and their ability to resist risks is very weak. If they make a mistake, they won't be able to turn around, and they won't be able to pay back the money. Come on!"
"We still have to solve the problem fundamentally. There will be more money flowing in the entire market, so that everyone can easily get money. Only in this way can all walks of life prosper..."
The crowd talked a lot. They were all top businessmen. Their knowledge was no worse than that of Western businessmen. The crisis in Jiangnan made them hit the point immediately.
Liu Henzhen smiled and listened to everyone's complaints. After the voices gradually became quieter, he sighed, "I understand what you all mean. There is a shortage of money in the world! Do you need banks to release water?"
"Yes, yes! Mr. Hesitation is right!"
"But..." Liu Yunzhen's voice changed, "But if you want to save Suzhou and Jiangnan, the amount of funds required can be one billion or even billions. I don't think there are 200 million yuan for Suzhou alone." It won’t work!”
"With such a large amount of funds released, Jiangnan's economy will be completely controlled by Nanpiao... If someone says that the Prime Minister has evil intentions or something, or that the Prime Minister has a conspiracy... wouldn't I become a sinner? "
With one sentence, everyone present was stunned. Wang Liuyi struck while the iron was hot, "Hey... the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of the Chinese ethnic group after all. This Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Qing Dynasty! In the past, when the Prime Minister issued Nannan invoices, he also provided some convenience to his Chinese businessmen. I didn’t think about issuing tickets to Jiangnan. We have a lot of business dealings with Ryukyu, so why did we choose to accept the tickets because we thought it was more convenient?”
"But just because of our convenience, the court was deeply wary of the Prime Minister, and a serious conflict even broke out! It was only then that the distinction between Beipiao and Nanpiao emerged... You must remember, this is not the case. The Prime Minister took the initiative to come to Jiangnan to issue banknotes! It was our merchants in Jiangnan who voluntarily used banknotes because they were greedy for the convenience of banknote transactions..."
As expected, Wang Liuyi was a businessman with a background as a broker. It was very easy to leave some things to such a person. He understood Liu Heshen's meeting spirit very deeply.
After all, Wang Liuyi said that Nanqiao banknotes were not a conspiracy of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was used by Ryukyu merchants from the beginning. It was us Jiangnan merchants who started hoarding them for convenience and brought them to Jiangnan.
This point is very, very important. If you stabilize this point first, you can cleanse the Prime Minister from conspiracy theories. No one should say nonsense about the Prime Minister engaging in economic aggression and financial infiltration. In fact, you Jiangnan merchants brought in this Nanbao without asking for permission. The Prime Minister is also quite innocent.
Because of your private actions, the Prime Minister and the court ended up in conflict, and the relationship was very bad. You are responsible for this.
Everyone present knew that Wang Liuyi was fooling around, and everyone was a fool. If Nan Piao hadn't been a premeditated financial infiltration by the Prime Minister, they would have dared to take their eyes off him.
But everyone is obedient. Since Wang Liuyi said this, it means that the special envoy has put forward the first condition. The subtext is very clear, 'You must publicize this point of view to the entire Jiangnan, and anyone must accept this point of view and move downstream. Merchants and people are indoctrinating that only by accepting this point of view can you become a person who receives financial relief, otherwise no one will care about you if you starve to death.'
Everyone cupped their hands and laughed and said, "Boss Wang is right! We have all gone through the whole process of Nanbao entering Jiangnan. That's what you mean. We are greedy for the convenience of paper currency settlement. We all use it for ourselves, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister!" It has nothing to do with the court!”
"Hahaha... OK, OK! The Prime Minister knows your profound righteousness!" Liu Yuzhen continued, "The Prime Minister is deeply saddened by the financial crisis in Jiangnan... Those foreign bankers and their compradors entrenched in Shanghai , deliberately trying to cut off our Jiangnan flesh and drink our Jiangnan blood..."
"They spared no effort to suppress the credit of Nanpiao, and even took the initiative to destroy the market and create various rumors... What is their purpose? Isn't it that in the subsequent money shortage, they want to use the least amount of money to take away the most and the richest money in Jiangnan? property, how evil-hearted do you think they are!”
"There is even a group of corrupt officials who actually collude with foreigners in an attempt to carve up the wealth of the people in Jiangnan. Is this really true?
4000
??It’s intolerable and intolerable! "With a bang, Liu Henzhen slammed the table and roared.
"The Prime Minister will never allow this to happen, so the Prime Minister sent me to help everyone solve the problem of money shortage. Our Jiangnan industry must stay in Jiangnan, and we cannot give them the advantage in vain!"
"Yes! We can't take advantage of corrupt officials, foreign devils in the industry...Long live the Prime Minister!" Wang Liuyi jumped out, clenched his fists and waved them in the air, shouting slogans and glaring at everyone.
What else is there to say? Everyone, let’s shout together!
"Long live the Prime Minister! We can't take advantage of foreign devils and corrupt officials..."
Sang Ye shouted while sweating on his back. He thought to himself, "It's so high! It's really high! This has set the tone for Jiangnan's financial crisis. The blame has been thrown on the court and foreigners. The prime minister is naturally clean. This It’s really white after washing!”
"But do these people still have a choice? No! In order to get financial assistance from the Prime Minister, everyone present will speak the same language, and then spare no effort to publicize it to the people. In less than a year and a half, hundreds of millions of people will understand this crisis. If you know it, it will be exactly what Prime Minister Xiao said!"
"At that time, the Prime Minister will be the savior! All the dark secrets behind the Prime Minister will always be hidden in the shadow of history and will never be known!"
