C1382 Jiangnan wool shearing

The explosive news was sent by the American merchants. In this period of time, all of the telegraph s in the Ryukyu Kingdom had been officially sealed, the ships in the ocean were not allowed to come close to the dock, the ships in the port were not allowed to go out to sea, and the people and messages had all been cut off by Xiao Letian.

This was the premonition of the start of the war, in the countries beside the Huangpu River, almost all of the foreign newspapers were discussing about the war, countless of commentators were drawing on the map, trying to deduce where the Russian fleet was, how strong his fighting strength was, and what ability did Xiao Letian have to resist.

The attention of the foreigners had been drawn to the war, and during this time no one went to the theatre, dancing, socializing, or even to their favorite bars.

It was not only the foreigners who were paying attention to the war, but all the enlightened officials of China were also paying attention to the war. It was not only the foreigners who were paying attention to the war, all the enlightened officials of China were also paying attention to the war.

If Xiao Letian won, the value of the south ticket would skyrocket, and the public's confidence in this piece of paper would multiply by several times. At that time, the number of currency notes that would be distributed would increase, and the economy of Jiang-Nan would become more prosperous.

If Xiao Letian lost, the southern side of the ticket would become useless, and all the Chinese economy in the southern part of the country would be destroyed. The foreign and Qing Dynasty powers would counterattack, and all the businesses that had lost their blood because of the crisis would be robbed.

Not only that, but the failure of the south ticket also doomed the credit bankruptcy of the paper money, when the Chinese people will not believe the paper money, and then it will be impossible to issue new paper money.

At that time, Jiangnan will return to the old state of slow deflation.

Not only did the foreign people know about this economic knowledge, many of the big merchants like Hu Xueyan also knew about it. It was just that the way they expressed it was different.

By the side of the Huangpu River, Hu Xueyan anxiously sat next to the window of the Western Restaurant's second floor.

He was thinking about the effect of victory or defeat in this currency war on Jiangnan's economy. If Xiao Letian lost, almost 2 billion paper money would become scrap paper.

At present, the prosperity of the Jiangnan economy is the result of the economic recovery after the war on the one hand, and the money circulation on the market on the other hand.

If ten billion taels of silver used to float on the market in Jiangnan, this was the total amount of blood in the blood vessels of the Jiangnan economy. Then, all economic development would depend on these ten billion taels of silver to carry out the target, which was to say, as long as there were no large amounts of silver flowing out, the total economy of Jiangnan economy would always be ten billion.

No matter how much you increase your merchandise, because there's only so much money, the total economy is always ten billion dollars.

Right now, almost 2 billion paper money had appeared out of thin air, which meant that Xiao Letian had increased the size of Jiang Nan's economy by 20%. This made it easier for many small businesses and small businesses to borrow money to finance themselves, and many new workshops, shops and even factories were established.

The long term development of Jiang-Nan economy in the past few years actually had a very important relationship with Xiao Letian's bank notes. If the 2 billion paper dollars were wasted, then the Jiangnan economy would enter an unstoppable state of austerity.

Businessmen who had lost their sense of security would turn their silver into land or bury it in the back garden. The 1 billion in currency would decline like an avalanche, and the remaining four to five billion would be more than enough to burn the incense.

The land was still so much land, the factories were still so many factories, the goods were still so much goods, the Jiang-Nan economy was still so big, if there was a war, no one would burn down the wealth.

The total amount of physical items was still that much, but the total amount of money on the market had suddenly disappeared by more than half. Of course, prices have plummeted, but no one wants to or can afford it.

The theory is simple, if you only invest 5 billion in the original 10 billion worth of the economy, then the obviously 10 billion worth of the account could only be sold for 5 billion.

Money was actually the target of human wealth. Money could not be eaten nor worn. It only had one function, and that was to ensure the smooth flow of human goods.

If the Great Qing or Kang Yong's three generations of Great Qing did not care, they could just close their doors and slowly resolve this crisis. The higher the market price of the goods, the higher the income of the citizens, the cheaper the goods and the lower the income of the citizens.

But now it's not the closed era, it's the era when the strong broke open the Great Qing's Gate. It's the era when they were half colonized, and your Jiangnan's silver currency had been accumulated, the foreigners have plenty of cheap silver!

While you are in the market making trouble for money and all the materials are cheap, these foreigners will enter the market and fight over them crazily. Your tea mountain is not bad, name a price, Master Yang will buy it.

Your winemaking workshop is not bad, you lack money? Come, come, come, come and sign an agreement with our bank. I want 60% of your shares.

Land, factories, goods, shops, farmlands … Countless tangible and intangible wealth would be swept away by the foreigners in this storm. On the surface, many of the deals were still old, but the distribution of shares had long since changed.

Hu Xueyan thought about the scene in front of him. The steak on the snow-white cloth was the meat of all the living things in Jiangnan. The blood was on the table, waiting for the knife and fork to fall.

Sitting opposite Hu Xueyan was the president of Citibank Asia, Heng Liwen. He smiled as he stared at his Chinese opponent who was as calm as a mouse.

"What about steak?" I remember you once said that you liked western cuisine very much? The Eli Cha Hotel is the earliest hotel in Europe on the Upper Beach. The dishes here are all prepared by famous chefs from Paris.

Hu Xueyan still could not eat, he put down his knife and fork, "Let's get to the point! It's impossible for you to let me betray the Great Qing, my Hu family has never had a traitor! "

"No, no, no …" Did Mr. Hu make a mistake? I only want to deal with Xiao Letian, according to what I know, isn't your Beijing government also fighting with Xiao Letian? They want to do the same thing as us, waiting for the South Ticket to crumble! "

"Think about it carefully. If we squeeze out Xiao Letian's power, who would have the advantage? "Of course, it's the imperial government of Beijing!"

"So, cooperating with us is equivalent to cooperating with Beijing's imperial government. Our interests are the same!"
