Family and Country Chapter 89 It's True

Under the seductive laser light, Saophoen was hysterically cheering, and Yang Yinpu in the dance floor was drowned in a waltz dance. At this time, he was no longer a fourth-rank official in the court, nor was he scary red official robe on his body, but like a dancer European and American gentleman, wearing a black bow tie and a white wing-neck shirt hugging a modern girl in a waltz melody. In the smooth dance floor, the corners of a woman's skirt, the man's shirt, the delicate heels, the smell of wine, perfume, and the smell of smoke, all of this made him feel like he was in the United States when he was studying abroad.

Looking at Yang Yinpu dancing happily, Cheng Wanli, who also had experience studying in the United States, sighed loudly to Bao Junjian beside him in the music: "I didn't expect that there is such a place in Shanghai. Beijing can't find anywhere except Dongjiao Minxiang!"

"What's there in Shanghai?!" Bao Junjian's eyes floated over a modern green dress with a gentleman's reserve mixed with the man's **. He didn't care about Cheng Wanli's sigh, and focused on the woman. He just waited for the woman to be blocked by the marble colonnade. He said, "In addition to Dahua, Licha, Black Cat, there are also racecourses, Sheng Aina, and Metropolis. These are all high-end dance halls in Shanghai, and there are many other general dance halls. It is said that there are more than 80 dance halls in Shanghai, with nearly a thousand dance girls. Some popular dance girls are comparable to famous prostitutes, with a monthly income of thousands of yuan."

"So many?" Cheng Wanli was shocked, but this made Bao Junjian wonder whether he was surprised because of thousands of dancers or because of his monthly income of thousands of yuan. Fortunately, he then said: "Why doesn't the Ministry of Rites investigate and ban so many dance halls?"

"If you don't have to check the dance hall in Shanghai, you can't check the ten-mile foreign market, and you can't check the brothels? Besides, Shanghai is a special market. If you check it, it's all in the city council. The capital city can't control it at all." Bao Junjian is from Nantong and Dr. Columbia. Because of his remorse, he had to make a living in Shanghai alone. With the help of foreigners, he finally became the secretary-general of the municipal government. He is very familiar with things in Shanghai.

"This is the truth that newspaper news can't be banned," Bao Junjian once again explained the whole story of Fuyuanli's closure of the news. "Originally, the newspaper office was to be placed on the front page, but it finally gave the municipal government face. It was placed on the second and third pages. You don't know that in Shanghai, reporters, lawyers, and Guoan, these three types of people are the most difficult to mess with."

Just as he said it was the worst thing to mess with, the glass door of the dance hall opened. A young official in green robe rushed in regardless of the obstruction of the waiter in white. He looked at the dance floor for a while, and when he saw Bao Junjian sitting aside to rest, he rushed over quickly.

"It's not going well, Gao Yi's Law Firm called and said that the banks were determined to sue and would go to Dali Temple in Shanghai to submit a complaint tomorrow morning." The person who came was a confidant of Bao Junjian, the secretariat of the municipal government. Because he had an explanation before, they got the news and came to the dance halls one by one, and only found the person when they found Dahua Hotel.

"Search?!" Bao Junjian frowned. Cheng Wanli, who was on the side, was also a little uneasy. "Who made the lead?"

"It was those banks who went to Gaoyi Law Firm. At that time, Lawyer Ding didn't know the whole story and thought it was someone else, so he encouraged these people to sue. After learning the truth, he knew how to sue himself." The secret explanation of the whole story.

The name Ding Rong in Shanghai is the sister of Xie Honglai, a member of the National Committee of the Shanghai YMCA, and a student of the famous missionary Timothy, and one of the members of the Guangxu Society. In the 30th year of the Guangxu period (19o4), it was Timothy who suggested that he go to the UK to study law, so he graduated from the University of Manchester and obtained a barrister license. Not to mention the relationship between Timothy's British Baptist Church and the American Presbyterian Church, the line of the YMCA is closely related to him.

After hearing the report from his confidant, Bao Junjian thought hard, and the song on the dance floor ended. Yang Yinpu, who was dancing with a dancer, hugged the dancer and said thanks to him, then walked towards Bao Junjian's position. As soon as he sat down, Cheng Wanli explained what had just happened in his ear. When Yang Yinpu was about to discuss with Bao Junjian, Bao Junjian said, "It's better to open a room to rest. I am familiar with the boss here. I also gave me a VIP card last time."

"Since Ding Feizhang encouraged these banks to sue, can't he sue this lawsuit?" Because of judicial independence, Yang Yinpu stayed away from the Tingwei Mansion. Moreover, unlike France, Germany and Japan, the model was basically imitated by the British and American legal systems. In other words, once the civil servant sued the official, the officials did not become the defendant as the official, but were privately accused, and the consequences of the judgment were completely borne by themselves. The government not only would not protect it, but would instead find a way to put all the responsibilities on the defendant officials. Because of this, those officials who want to do things are most afraid of causing lawsuits, because they are not good at protecting a black hat and will not be kept, and they will also go to jail.

"Brother Shihu, I think about this matter." Bao Junjian thought about it and finally said: "It's better to settle it privately. I'll give the business licenses to me. I'll call these bank offices tomorrow morning and ask them to withdraw the lawsuit."

"No!" Yang Yinpu saw that Bao Junjian had thought for a long time and had this idea, his face tightened even more. "What is the majesty of the Ministry of Revenue like this? Moreover, the Zhengjin side broke nearly 10 million yen this afternoon, and the bank will be given a business license tomorrow morning. Isn't that encourage them to run the yen again? To be honest, the gold reserves of Zhengjin Bank are very limited now. If they run another 10 million, the gold will be fully redeemed, and the consequences of the matter will be unimaginable at that time."

"If you can't hold it down, you can't hold it down. Zhengjin Bank is also a big bank. You won't close down and go bankrupt because of this." Bao Junjian was in Shanghai and didn't understand why Yang Yinpu's move was, so he couldn't ask why he wanted to protect Zhengjin Bank.

"Ji Xing, this is the thing." Seeing that Yang Yinpu did not object, Cheng Wanli began to talk about the whole story, "The United States has always been very resistant to the signing of the alliance treaty between China and Japan, and Yang Jingcheng's so-called American threat theory also came from this. But in fact, the United States is not actually opposed to China, but against Japan. Especially after the Sino-Japanese alliance, the US government was very worried that this alliance would become the main cause of the war. It should be noted that the trigger for the European war that year was the German-Austrian alliance. It was precisely because of the German-Austrian alliance that had the French-Russian alliance and the subsequent European war. So, now our idea is consistent with them, that is, to find a way to dissolve the Sino-Japanese alliance!"

"Dissolve the Sino-Japanese Alliance" Bao Junjian is not a fool. The Sino-Japanese alliance was strongly promoted by Yang Rui, and for this reason he even divided Beiting half to Japan. This means to compensate Japan for the loss of rights and interests in Northeast China and North Korea, which is actually a means to win over Japan. Thinking of the dissolution of the Sino-Japanese Alliance is to oppose the foreign policy established by Yang Rui. Thinking of Yang Rui still vaguely controlling the political situation, Bao Junjian breathed a long sigh and said, "Is this possible? If you don't talk about Japan, will Yang Jingcheng sit still? "

"The international faction in Japan is in power at this time. They did not want China-Japan alliance from the beginning. This time, Japan's bonds expired, so we were asked to borrow money, and the national bank was also planning to lend them money, but Zhang Xingjian proposed that China, Japan and North Korea should establish Asian banks to prepare for the future Asian dollar. This is no longer the scope of Sino-Japanese alliance, but this is basically a Sino-Japanese united state." Cheng Wanli said, "Once Japan really agrees to these conditions, the war between us and Britain and the United States will inevitably be inevitable. A large part of the hegemony dispute is a dispute over currency rights. If a strong Asian dollar appears, Britain and the United States will definitely suppress it."

"Then what does this have to do with the yen running?" Bao Junjian became more and more shocked when he heard it, and all the hairs on his back stood up.

"Now the Japanese Hamaguchi Cabinet has rejected Zhang Xingjian's proposal. They turned to deposit bonds in Europe, but what is inappropriate is that the yen is 10% higher when the return standard is 10%. This is easy to be run by speculators. If the yen cannot hold on to this wave of runs, the Hamaguchi Cabinet will fall. Japan's economy will be in a slump because it cannot return standard. At that time, they have to turn to China and eventually move towards the Sino-Japanese unity." Yang Yinpu, who spoke this time, was extremely worried about the Sino-Japanese unity, and his voice became hoarse due to depression.

"Mr. Jimin is willing to bear the eternal infamy and realize the democratic republic. I cannot destroy the yen return standard for personal humiliation. If I don't do this, let the Sino-Japanese United States unite, then China and Japan will definitely confront the United States in the next decade. With the strong American industry, the war result is self-evident." Speaking of this, Yang Yinpu suddenly turned around and looked at Bao Junjian: "Ji Xing, we must never become the second Germany! We must never let the Sino-Japanese United States unite follow Yang Jingcheng's plan! Once this happens, this country will never be doomed!"

Looking at Yang Yinpu, who is shouldering the future of China, Bao Junjian was moved by his solemnity, but righteousness is righteousness, and the problems that are in front of him still have to be dealt with. He beat his head for a long time and shook his head and said, "Shihu, although I am the secretary-general of the municipal government, the government has never been able to control Dali Temple. Ding Feizhang will go to Dali Temple to file a complaint tomorrow, and no one can stop this."

"Can't Ding Feizhang change his mind?" Cheng Wanli asked, "If he can advise everyone not to sue, the matter will be over."

"How is this possible?" Bao Junjian shook his head even more, "Fei Zhang is a famous lawyer in Shanghai. Since he has accepted the bank's complaint, how can he suddenly regret it? Besides, there are countless lawyers in Shanghai, and they all hope that the case will become famous. If Fei Zhang rejects this case, the bank's general office will definitely go to find other lawyers. Even if they don't go to find them, lawyers who have heard of this will come to the door." After thinking about it, it is not a solution. Bao Junjian had to look at Yang Yinpu, "Shihu, Dali Temple is really going to open an trial, can the Ministry of Revenue win?"

"It is not the issue of not opening trial but not opening trial, but the issue of not being able to attend the court!" Yang Yinpu said in a deep voice: "Once a case is big, the most feared thing is that the impact will be exaggerated. When the people encourage it, the Japanese yen will definitely not be able to hold on to the Japanese bank's gold reserves only 1.6 billion yen. Although it borrowed 100 million pounds, it is only 40 million pounds now. And the world economy is in turmoil. Once the pound collapses, they will definitely not be able to hold on."

"Ji Xing, you have been in the municipal government for so long, but you don't know what weaknesses these bank offices have?" Cheng Wanli interrupted: "With these people's weaknesses, can you turn big things into small things?"

"Even if there is a weakness, only Mayor Yu will know it." Bao Junjian said, "But he is the leader of Ningbo merchants and has always been a personal revival club. He complained a lot about Feng Fuyuanli last time."

"Then what weakness does Yu Qiaqing have?" Yang Yinpu spoke again, immediately scaring Bao Junjian's face green.

"Brother Shihu, you are you." Bao Junjian stuttered. Although he was today with the recommendation of foreign directors from the Ministry of Industry and Technology, Yu Qiaqing has always appreciated him and never cared about his regret for his marriage. Now Yang Yinpu wants him to sell his owner, he can't do this.

"Ji Xing, what I mean is very simple, it is to find a way to suppress this matter. If Yu Qiaqing is disobedient, it is to make him obedient." Yang Yinpu's face was full of righteousness, "No matter who it is, as long as you dare to oppose the central government, there will be no good ending. Besides, there are not many foreign directors and members in the Shanghai Municipal Council. How could they not speak from the British and American standpoints?"

Yang Yinpu didn't know Shanghai at all. Even though there were many foreigners in the Shanghai Municipal Council, the family business of these people was all in Shanghai. Many people came to Shanghai just a sailor speculator, and they made a fortune when they arrived in Shanghai. Originally, these people were worried that the Chinese government would exclude themselves after collecting the concession, but the domestic political situation changed several times later. The Beijing government finally determined that Shanghai was completely autonomous. The municipal government was fully managed by the municipal council, which was composed of the former Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the mayor was elected by the city council, and Beijing did not interfere. This means that Shanghai was no different from the late Qing Dynasty. Even as long as it was not unconstitutional, the city council could also formulate exclusive laws in Shanghai.

Under the management of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Council, Shanghai has become more prosperous day by day. Although foreigners cannot be Chinese because of blood ties, their interests lie. The political stance of foreign members has always been close to China. Hope they stand on the standpoint of the central government is basically the same as hoping that sows will climb trees, even if they are foreign pigs.

Bao Junjian was still wondering why he had put himself in. When Cheng Wanli saw his face changing, he said, "Ji Xing, benevolence, righteousness and morality are just things that corrupt feudal forces fool people. Since you were able to escape fearlessly from the shackles of feudal marriage and pursue your own love, you can now get rid of these so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality in order to seek the future of the country and nation."

"Sorry, I can't do this!" Bao Junjian finally shook his head after he was confused, "Mayor Yu treats me well and acts very well. It is almost impossible to find a handle for him. The foreign directors and members of the city council only recognize their own interests, and any actions that violate their own interests are unbearable. For example, last year, the Asia-Europe Canal Academy voted. He knew that this was Yang Jingcheng's strong recommendation, but he approved the complete autonomy of Shanghai, but in order not to pay the money, he would not rob Shanghai's foreign trade business by Beiting, all of these people voted against it. I still meant before, and the yen snatched it. If you really want to run the money, you will revoke your business license, and things will only get bigger and bigger."

"There is only so much gold in Zhengjin Bank. Once the gold is used up, it can only pay foreign exchange. When the bank has no gold, speculators will become more rampant. This matter can only be squeezed and revoked by one!" Yang Yinpu stared at Bao Junjian. Seeing that he did not dare to look at him, the louder he spoke, and his hand was waving. He finally asked, "Ji Xing, have you forgotten your original oath, right?"

"Shihu, everyone was just ignorant students at the time. How could they take the jokes seriously?" Despite the scorching face, Bao Junjian still said in an astonishing gaze, which made Yang Yinpu and Cheng Wanli's faces suddenly turn into pig's liver. (To be continued.)
