After a long time in the north, Qiu Jin, who returned to Shanghai, was very unfamiliar with this mixed place of five places and thousands of merchants. It seemed that it was not part of China, but part of the world. Garden villas hidden everywhere, luxury cruise ships in Huangpu River, fashionable girls wearing dresses and curly hair on the street, large beautiful pictorials in front of the cinema..., silver houses, business shops, wineries, cafes, theaters, dance halls, and amusement parks, all of which were completely different from those of memory.

Standing on the top floor of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, looking at the countless luxury cars running below, the yellow bungalows vans pulling guests, and the trams ringing all the way with bells; and listening to the melodious whistles on both sides of the Huangpu River and the melodious songs broadcast by the phonographs blown by the river wind, Qiu Jin had to see the words "the fourth largest metropolis in the world". Perhaps at the current development speed, it takes less than ten years, this fourth will become the third, becoming the world metropolis after London and New York.

"Xuanqing please drink tea...drink tea. Public power, and Lingmei also invites tea..." In the reception room of the exchange, Yu Qiaqing, the mayor of Shanghai Special Market and chairman of the board of directors of the Industrial Bureau, played a guest role in the landlord, and was greeting Qiu Jin, Zhang Jiayu and his sister Zhang Youyi with a smile on his face. He was getting fatter and fat, but the flexible and sharp eyes behind his smile remained unchanged.

"Don't watch in the trading hall..." Qiu Jin held the tea and didn't want to make it. He was still not at ease with everything that happened in the trading hall. Today is the day when Yunshang Clothing Company, which is strongly supported by the Women's Revival Association, went public. The stock will issue one million shares and plan to raise 5 million Huayuan. This money will be invested in further expanding the down jacket production line. Since nylon was developed, more and more of its products have been used in all walks of life, and down jackets are one of them.

"No need, no need, public power should know." Yu Qiaqing still laughed. In fact, he had not been able to make a move for such a listing of five million stocks. It was just because of Qiu Jin's face that even though she was no longer the Secretary of the Standing Committee, she had just come down from the peak of power.

"Yes, Mr. Xuanqing." Zhang Jiayu's status is much lower than that of Yu Qiaqing. It is not easy to meet even if you don't talk about tea. "During roadshows before, all walks of life responded very well, and mayor Yu has been strong. The following transactions must be popular."

"That's good!" Qiu Jin didn't understand the listing, roadshows and other things at all, but Zhang Jiayu was Zhang Youyi's brother, so he wouldn't be wrong. He felt that he might be too serious. Qiu Jin smiled and said, "The female revival meeting and the sisters in Beijing invested a lot of money in it. I'm afraid that the listing will be bad. I will be complained by the sisters."

"The down jackets are out of stock, and the orders are scheduled until next year. How can it be bad for the market?" Hearing Qiu Jin talk about the sisters in Beijing, Yu Qiaqing comforted him while thinking about rumors about Yang Rui and a female employee everywhere. Then he thought that the woman's house seemed to be built by the Kong family in Nancheng City. Should she send someone to send some gifts first...

Yu Qiaqing is an old man. While thinking about his thoughts, he talked with Qiu Jin and others. When the phone rings next door, the secretary who had received the phone came to report the good news, his mind completely changed. He smiled and opened a bottle of champagne with everyone to celebrate. Then he asked someone to call Simalu again to ensure that there were no mistakes in the evening celebration banquet.

After a group of people finished drinking champagne, Zhang Youyi, who was the chief executive of the company, had to go out to the press conference below. Qiu Jin, who didn't want to be on the whim, followed. The listing of a new company was not new, after all, it was just a plate of five million, but Qiu Jin's appearance made the young reporters who were sent by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to meet the situation. They didn't expect there would be a big fish here.

"Mr. Xuanqing, have you also bought the shares of Yunshang Company?" asked a reporter. It was from the Morning News.

"I'm no longer an adult." Qiu Jin smiled, "I not only bought Yunshang Company's stocks. All the members of the Female Revival Association have been bought. The sisters are optimistic about the company's development, so they invested their private money in."

The private money rhetoric made several young reporters laugh for a moment. A reporter from the Shanghai 20th Century Business Daily took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Xuanqing. At the annual work report of the Notice Academy at the end of last year, the Prime Minister advocated that the national economy should be 'retreat the country and advance the people, and the whole people compete'. Does this mean that some industries that were under control will also be lifted from the control of this cabinet and allow private companies to enter?"

"Haha..." It was just Yunshang Company listed, but the reporter raised the problem to the national level at once, which made Qiu Jin admire the Shanghai reporters' best-sightedness. After she smiled, she said, "Okay, since I'm here, let me talk about it. The Prime Minister once said: A country is not as rich as the people. I would rather not pay the salary of the Prime Minister's Office and close the doors, and I hope that every household will have smoke and food and clothing without worrying about it.

State-owned companies were established largely when the public had no strength and awareness and the market was blank. This was just like the Revival Society built Tonghua twenty years ago. At that time, people didn’t know how to set up oil presses or how to manage oil presses. So Tianziha set up a model factory in Tonghua to provide templates and establish standards for private people who are interested in opening oil presses.

Many state-owned companies are now run in this way. In addition to playing a leading role in the industry, these companies also have certain regulatory roles. But they are just industry test fields. When private companies come up, they will eventually become stepping stones for all walks of life. However, since it is market competition, they should speak according to market laws. Unless state-owned companies involve monopolies and violate the anti-unfair competition law, the government will not forcefully break up state-owned companies to accommodate private companies."

Before the end of last year, the specific reform plan had been brought out, so Qiu Jin naturally read the entire plan. Although some of the top figures had already learned about the above content, it was the first time that the media explained from an official standpoint that "the country retreated and the people advanced, and the whole people competed"? After Qiu Jin's words fell, even Yu Qiaqing, who followed him, applauded vigorously. The stone in his heart finally landed in the word "special" of the Shanghai Special Market. It seems that it will take less than a long time to cancel it.

After warm applause, another reporter asked: "Mr. Xuanqing, can private companies open an arsenal?"

As soon as the reporter asked this question, everyone present looked at Qiu Jin's face. The theory is good, but how much can the country retreat? Can private companies like military factories enter? If so, then the "national retreat and private advancement" will really retreat to the end.

Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Qiu Jin still smiled and said, "This is the last question about policy. You can't always ask about policies. Today is the press conference on Yunshang Company's stock listing..."

Qiu Jin said this only made everyone who was extremely nervous laugh. After everyone laughed, Qiu Jin said seriously: "The answer to whether private companies can open an arsenal is OK." As soon as she said it, everyone wanted to applaud. But if she had known this, she had waved to stop her. "But it was an arsenal after all, and the Ministry of Works and the Taiwei Mansion would be very strict in order to prevent weapons from being damaged. The relevant legislation is currently being drafted, and I believe that the newly revised special company management regulations will be seen in the next two years."

‘Wow…Wow…Wow…Wow…’ The applause was not as sparse as before. After learning that Qiu Jin had appeared in the first-floor Yunshang Company press conference, everyone on the entire exchange was on the sixth floor, huddled down to work and squeezed into the corridor to listen to her speech. After listening to Qiu Jin’s issue of private companies opening an arsenal, the entire trading building was boiling. Although the shadow of last year’s coup was gone, everyone was worried about how the policy would go. Now Qiu Jin clearly stated that the "national retreat and the people would advance" would retreat to, which means that the situation was moving in the direction everyone expected, and would continue to go until the end.

The applause and cheering were endless. Standing on the patio on the first floor, looking up at the people cheering in the corridors of each building, Qiu Jin suddenly felt that everything she had done before was worth it. She felt that the traders on the exchange and the big households in the big households, and the retail investors on the first floor could not suppress their excitement. A voice from the big households in the second floor suddenly asked: "Master Qiu, say something. No matter what, say something."

"Yes, Lord Qiu, say something, say something..." One person requested, and countless people immediately responded. They were too eager to hear the voice of the central government. Since the policy was so good, they wanted to hear more.

With a voice of request, Qiu Jin laughed and shook her head, and said, "You guys, I have never known what the economy, market, and stocks are. All I said is what the cabinet meeting talked about and confirmed, just retelling it."

Qiu Jin told the truth, but everyone still looked at her. She had to say, "Then let me say something that the Prime Minister once said. The Prime Minister had said before: Shanghai is the top priority of the national economy. Because of this, even if the concession is taken back, the city will be managed in the previous way. Don't be afraid of the foreigners in the city council, fear that we are not good at it and cannot protect our own rights in a reasonable and legal way. The economy is not a battle of will, the economy must cooperate and compete. The purpose is to make the cake bigger together. (Applause)

Don’t be afraid that foreigners will earn all our money. This is the idea of ​​the rich man, thinking that the treasures in the world are in their own homes, and if they take away one piece, they will lose one piece. In fact, since the Han Dynasty envoy Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, China and other countries in the world have been economically connected. As the saying goes, ‘the advantages complement each other, the existence and whether they are, each obtains what they need, and build prosperity together’, the Chinese economy will surely be integrated into the world economy. Since our hardworking and intelligent ancestors could sell silk tea and porcelain more than a thousand years ago, as the descendants who regained the spirit of the ancestors, the domestic products we made can also be sold all over the world. (Fierce applause)

I believe that in a few decades, what we are worried about is not that domestic products cannot compete with foreign products, but how to resolve the huge trade deficits caused by us always selling goods. (Warm applause) Therefore, if China wants to build prosperity with all countries in the world, it does not mean that if we make money, it is a good thing. We must balance the balance of international payments, make money together, and prosper together is the real good thing. (Long-term and fierce applause)”

It was just such a short paragraph in my memory. Qiu Jin said a little coldly after saying this. Seeing this, she had to say the last sentence, "The Prime Minister said more than once: Shanghai is the center of the national economy, Shanghai is the general staff, Shanghai is the steering wheel, Shanghai is the barometer, Shanghai is the intersection, Shanghai is the locomotive, Shanghai is the pearl of the Orient! Everyone, please do your best to realize the prosperity of the Chinese economy! (The endless warm applause)"

When Shanghai was prosperous, Hong Kong was just an ordinary seaport. If it weren't for Hong Kong's original name of Victoria Harbor, the British would have changed the cedent land to Zhoushan. Later, the changes in the world, the decline of Shanghai gave Hong Kong the opportunity to rise. The name of the Oriental Pearl refers to Hong Kong in Yang Rui's consciousness. However, in this era, Shanghai, whose trade import and export volume was already ahead of other ports, was the Oriental Pearl. After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were originally a wealthy place, and the Yangtze River, which had nurtured thousands of miles, also entered the sea. The accumulation of talents, facilities and customary laws for more than 80 years was irreplaceable by other ports.

Yang Rui thought this way and once said this. The Ministry of Land and Earth is planning to spend huge sums of money to clear the Yangtze River channel to ensure that 10,000 tons of sea ships can reach Wuhan safely throughout the year. However, Qiu Jin's retelling still caused a lot of impact. The good thing is that the Shanghai stock market was stimulated by the dual stimulation of national policies and the "Oriental Pearl". It started to soar in the afternoon of the same day; in addition, the well-informed Shanghai real estate developers began to be reluctant to sell real estate, but the Shanghai real estate is not the Oriental Pearl, so the land prices will definitely rise;

On the bad side, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin and the three places complained to the provincial governor together, saying that the cabinet was too fond of Shanghai. She was the pearl of the East, so what are we? The stinky river clams on the seaside? Of course, this complaint cannot be directly heard by Yang Rui. Guangzhou has long been inferior to Shanghai, and Tianjin is even worse than Guangzhou. Only Wuhan, a city with heavy industry and light industry, is building the Beijing-Han artery and 10,000-ton ocean terminal, can barely compete with Shanghai, so Mayor Chen Rongge tactfully generates power in the capital, hoping that the central government will give it a name.

The respondents caused by the speech of the Shanghai Stock Exchange were unknown. The only thing everyone knows is that the economy will get better and better in the future, and life will become more and more beautiful. I never thought about why the central government never built heavy industry in Shanghai except for shipyards. Even if it purchased nickel ore from the French colony, Xinkoridonia, it was not in Shanghai but in Wuhan.

I wanted to use the press conference to criticize Qiu Jin, who was unfaithful (at this time, Zhang Youyi had divorced at Xu Zhimo's request, and Yang Rui, who was plagued by scandals in the capital, was also deeply involved in the divorce crisis). I never thought that the press conference was not in the direction she hoped. At the same time, she also found that the people actually did not care about the fate of a woman. They only hoped that the country would be peaceful and could live a safe life. Therefore, after reposting Yang Rui's previous speech, she quickly left the exchange and went to the hotel to rest.

While Qiu Jin was resting, Zhang Junli, who was flying to Shanghai in Europe, got off the plane and asked his younger brother for domestic matters. Zhang Jiayi, who was still excited, immediately repeated Qiu Jin's speech on the exchange in the afternoon. Zhang Junli was surprised to hear this and said, "What does Qiu Xuanqing really say? Can the arsenal be privately owned?"

"It's true!" Zhang Jiayu nodded vigorously, "Second brother, you and Mr. Ren should be back. The next election for the representatives of the Jujian Academy must prepare early!"

"This is natural." Zhang Jun said, "Mr. Ren has arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon. After visiting his old friends in Shanghai, he will go to Beijing on the day to choose."

"This is the best." Zhang Jiayu agreed with this, but he remembered the past and asked again: "How to deal with the matter of protecting the constitution earlier? How can the landlord explain? As long as you show up, those victims will come to you back then."

"I'm not afraid, I've had a complete solution for my brother." Zhang Junli said with confidence. "Fourth brother, the last time you wrote that all provinces were planning to establish provincial banks. Have you ever known who was in charge of this matter during this period?"

"Who else can you do except Lord Zhang Kun?" Zhang Jiaqi smiled. "But it's strange. Why did Zhang Kun do something secretly that could have been directly mentioned?"

"Zhang Kun? Zhang Kun, General Office of the State Bank?" Zhang Junli was a little unbelievable, and he didn't expect that the State Bank was also within the scope of privatization and had the only issuance rights of Huayuan. How could it be said that private ownership is private?

"Yes! That's him." Zhang Jiayu affirmed, "Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and other provinces are planning to establish provincial banks. The Revival Society is likely to lead Kanto Bank and Qiaoshang Bank, and another national bank will compete with the national bank, but I don't know how they will obtain the Huayuan issue rights."

"Can the Academy of Sense pass the bill to approve it?" After all, Zhang Junli is not a financial student and does not know the details.

"No." Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "The only bank with the right to issue Huayuan is the State Bank, which is the central bank of China. This constitutional amendment did not change this article, which means that these provincial banks may just want to compete with commercial banks under the State Bank, which should be in line with what Qiu Xuanqing just said, "The country retreats and the people advance, and the whole people compete."

Zhang Junli took this seriously after his younger brother, who was in the banking industry, and then asked about the family matters in detail, Zhang Junli stood up and left. According to the arrangements discussed before, Liang Qichao and others would go to Xiyin Hall on Nanyang Road, where he happened to meet with everyone.

Nine years ago, Xiyintang was the contact place for the Constitutional Protection Party to discuss with the gentry of various provinces on how to fight against the land reform of the Revival Society. However, the Tao Chengzhang case allowed the Revival Society to find a breakthrough and took the opportunity to arrest Liang Qichao and Lin Changmin. The situation suddenly deteriorated. Cai E fled from the capital under Chen Qimei's bewitchment. Liang Qichao was also robbed of prison. The master and apprentice went to Yunnan and Sun Wen to raise the Constitutional Protection Banner together.

Fortunately, Liang Qichao, who was wise and fickle, left immediately as soon as he arrived in Kunming, and then issued a statement in Singapore saying that his previous actions were entirely due to coercion. This statement saved the Constitutional Protection Party to some extent. However, in the impression of the Chinese people, the Constitutional Protection Party is still a traitor who had an affair with Russia, and was also a big liar who fled the money of countless members. There has not been any explanation yet. Because of this, Liang Qichao decided to visit Zhao Fengchang as soon as he returned to China, hoping that this old man could give some advice, but they obviously miscalculated.

Outside Xiyin Hall, Liang Qichao, who was sitting in the car waiting for reward, saw Tang Jue running back with sweat on his head. Before he got on the car, he shouted: "Mr. Zhujun has been invited to the capital."

"Who is it?" Liang Qichao was stunned. This was completely unfavorable for his advancement.

"I heard that it was Yang Jingcheng." Tang Jue was sweating for a while, then opened the door and got into the car.

"Oh!" Liang Qichao was a little lost. He suddenly felt that his bargaining chips were not as many as he imagined.

"Mr. Ren, look at us..." Tang Hualong was also in the car. Although he strongly recommended returning to China quickly, the situation in the country was obviously not optimistic. "Do you go back to the province according to the original plan and then gather in the capital?" He said again: "Now the plane is convenient, and it takes a day and a night to go anywhere."

"That's all." Liang Qichao fanned a white paper fan because he was in a hurry, and he didn't rent a luxury car in Shanghai. He went to the car sales office, but there were no cars there, so he was now riding an American car with no air conditioning in the Licha Hotel. Now the car is not driving, and the car is crowded and hot. "Let's talk about it when you go back." He said last.

Liang Qichao greeted him and the car started Kalakala. After returning to the hotel and taking a shower, the group felt more comfortable. After taking a sip of Longjing tea, Liang Qichao said: "Since Mr. Zhu Jun has been invited to the capital by Yang Jingcheng, I think the famous gentry from other provinces have also passed the fun with the Fuxing Association, and our party has fewer and fewer opportunities to bargain."

"But the prestige of our party is still there!" Tang Hualong also guessed this possibility. After all, the revival of the ruling rule would have power and power. He took the initiative to talk to the gentry of various provinces, and he would probably achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Jiwu, no matter how great the prestige is, it will be forgotten by the people in ten years." Liang Qichao shook his head helplessly, "We are likely to be placed in the Jiyi Academy by the Revival Society as vases."

"It's true that there is this possibility." Tang Hualong had to admit that there is this possibility, and it's very likely. "Ren Gong, then what should we do?"

"Wait first," Liang Qichao took another sip of tea.

"Wait?" Tang Hualong was puzzled, "What if the previous member came to ask for the membership fee? And the inspector's office..."

Before Tang Hualong finished speaking, he remembered the knock on the door outside, which made everyone in the room suddenly feel a little scared. Several people turned their eyes and Jiang Baili, who was standing outside, asked in a deep voice: "Who?!"

"Look for Mr. Liang Zhuoru below." Licha Hotel was built during the Daoguang period. Even though it built a new building more than ten years ago, the brick and wood-structured guest rooms in Shanghai, which are changing with each passing day. Through the wooden door, the man outside could actually hear the sound of metal collision when he answered, which made Liang Qichao and others even more creepy.

"Mr. Liang is not here, please come again the next day." Seeing the teacher shaking his head, Jiang Baili hurriedly wanted to send someone away in the future.
Chapter completed!
