Chapter 1632 Financial Negotiation
negotiation?

Although Meng Shaoyuan is familiar with such things as negotiations, he is not very interested.

Where did he go to negotiate, it was clearly to see a joke.

Wu Sibao is dead, and it will be Li Shiqun's turn next.

Although, this guy will die sooner or later, and he will die miserably.

However, Meng Shaoyuan is more happy to see him get rid of him with his own hands!
It will be very pleasant.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is also happy to see a truce between the two sides on the financial front.

After all, this kind of financial war is also very damaging to Shanghai's economy.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce does not want this kind of thing to go on indefinitely.

Dong Kaiziwei, director of the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, presided over the negotiation in person.

In order to reassure Zhou Fohai and Li Shiqun, in addition to allowing their bodyguards to openly carry guns, the police and the Wan Guo Business Group also personally took on the task of protecting them.

After all, now that Wu Sibao is dead, the Wang puppet regime is missing a general.

In the public concession, there is another frightening figure:

"Shanghai King" Meng Shaoyuan!

……

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Li Shiqun with interest, and even smiled at him.

Are you happy that Wu Sibao is dead?

Ah, of course you won't be happy, because your first titan is dead.

It's okay to be sad.

There are happy people.

For example, your Young Master Meng is very happy.

As the president of the Central Reserve Bank, this was the first time Zhou Fohai met Meng Shaoyuan.

This famous Pan Tianhu!

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive, and no one wanted to speak first.

In the end, Kaiziwei took the lead in breaking the silence: "Gentlemen, the unpleasant incidents in Shanghai have been going on for a long time. A large number of bank employees have disappeared, which has also had a great impact on the economic order of the Shanghai International Settlement. Since you have decided to sit down and have a good talk, I suggest that this unwise behavior be stopped immediately."

The reason why Meng Shaoyuan was willing to participate in such negotiations was because he came with Shang Fang's sword.

Also participating in this negotiation was Gu Xichen, Vice President of the Central Bank, who was mainly in charge of the negotiation.

When the financial war in Shanghai intensified, seeing that the economic order of the concession had been severely damaged, Britain and the United States finally couldn't hold back their actions.

The UK embassy told the Foreign Office:
"The British embassy is convinced that the public concession patrol house is doing its best to protect and will continue to do its best to protect the banks and their employees of the Chinese government. However, according to the puppet government in Nanjing, this atrocity, several of which took place outside the concession), was aimed at China. Government secret agents sniped Nanjing Pseudo-organized bank staff in retaliation and so on.

This has made the situation more tense, and the protection demanded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become more and more difficult to achieve.The patrol room is deeply afraid that if the two sides are not prepared to try to avoid attacking each other's banks and their personnel, the situation may get out of hand, and the patrol room will not be able to maintain law and order.Such a situation should be avoided urgently, because it will give the Japanese side an excellent excuse for direct intervention. "

Under the pressure of all parties, the chairman finally agreed to stop the assassination and kidnapping of employees of the Central Reserve Bank in Shanghai.

"What we need is for the Chongqing side to immediately stop the assassination and kidnapping." Zhou Fohai said aggressively, "This war was first provoked by the Chongqing side, and we are only passively fighting it."

This sentence is indeed correct and wrong. In order to prevent the Central Reserve Bank from entering the concession, Chongqing took the lead in launching a series of terrorist activities.

But the effect is not very good, and even, in some respects, it has the opposite effect.

The terrorist actions of the two parties put psychological pressure on Shanghai's foreign exchange market. General speculators have doubts about the status of Shanghai's financial market. Previous speculative activities tend to be quiet, and the foreign exchange market is in a state of confusion.

It can be seen that during this period of time, the struggle between China and Japan began to expand from a simple frontal confrontation on the military battlefield to an all-round confrontation in multiple fields such as finance.

As far as Japan is concerned, the front line of the war against China is already too long, the number of troops is insufficient, and the management problems brought about by the occupation of too large a territory are increasing.

It has become more difficult to continue to rely solely on military means to conquer China.

Therefore, it supports the Wang puppet government to carry out indirect rule, reduce conflicts and contradictions in the ruled areas, and at the same time start to carry out aggressive control in the financial field, so that it can also achieve the purpose of supporting war with war.

It is impossible for the Chinese side to be unaware of this. The Chongqing government is facing internal and external troubles, and the rebellion of the Wang puppet government poses a great threat to it. Chongqing has also begun a tit-for-tat struggle with the Wang puppet government and its backer Japan in the financial field.

Therefore, a series of terrorist attacks against the financial sector followed.

Judging from the results of this war, the goals conceived by the government of the Republic of China at that time were not well achieved, and on the contrary caused many bad consequences.

The chairman of the committee has fully noticed this point, so he authorized Gu Xichen to carry out the truce negotiations, and Meng Shaoyuan, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau, acted as his assistant.

As soon as Zhou Fohai finished speaking, Gu Xichen had already said: "The Central Reserve Bank used coercive means to force the citizens of SH to accept the Central Reserve Bonds, which itself has violated financial laws!

All our actions are forced counterattacks, and you should bear all the responsibility for this incident! "

Seeing that the two were fighting each other and were about to quarrel again, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said:
"We are here to negotiate, not to quarrel. Don't hide it, everyone, open the skylight and speak up. We kidnapped a lot of people from the Central Reserve Bank, and on the 76th, we also kidnapped a lot of Shanghai four banks people.

Everyone is in a state of panic, and no one is in the mood to go to work. If this continues, the Central Reserve Bank will be ruined, and the four banks in Shanghai will suffer heavy losses. If the fight continues, it will be detrimental to everyone.

The Americans and the British are also unwilling to see such a result, so they arranged such a negotiation.How about this, stop at the same time, after everyone goes back, immediately release the hostages they captured! "

What Meng Shaoyuan said was straightforward.

And this is what Zhou Fohai and Gu Xichen wanted to say but didn't know how to say it.

Kai Ziwei interjected: "I completely agree with what Mr. Meng said, what's the point of you continuing to fight like this? It's not only the interests of the Shanghai International Settlement that are damaged, but also your own interests.

Let's end it, quickly restore Shanghai's financial order, you can continue to fight on the financial front, but this time, the war will not be stained with blood or innocent people.

Gentlemen, this is my opinion, and also the opinion of the American government, the British government.You need to make a statement, there is no paper agreement, but I need your clearest attitude. "

After Zhou Fohai and Gu Xichen were silent for a long time, then as if they had agreed, they both nodded at the same time.

There is no way to continue, the war should come to an end here!
