"It's over, it's over! This time it's over!" A guy in a suit and a 46-part head combed on his head on his head was muttering to himself, walking towards the river step by step. There was only one leather shoe that was once bright and enviable under his feet. He was so heartless that he limped up to the dam barefoot!

"Ah!" A shrill scream came from the bank of the river! "Someone is going to jump into the river! Hurry up! Stop him, he is going to jump into the river!" A fashionable girl in a dress and wearing a parasol was just helped off from a rickshaw. When she looked up, she saw this scene and immediately screamed in surprise!

But her shrill scream woke up the pedestrians by the river at this time, everyone raised their heads weakly and lowered their heads again! It seemed as if everything in front of them seemed to have not seen it!

"Hmph! Erwuzi! The ancestors don't want their hair. Such a person died long ago and was cleaned up early!" A person passing by the girl cursed fiercely.

Then, a plop came, and the people on the dam fell into the water, but the pedestrians around them were not even attentive to the atmosphere!

"How can this be done? How can this be done!" The fashionable girl cried all over, then suddenly went crazy and ran towards the shore. The greasy and pink-faced boy next to her hurriedly shouted and followed behind, and several followers behind her also quickly followed!

When he got closer, the fashionable girl stopped suddenly and was stunned for a long time, then bent down and held her energy, making a scream of breaking the clouds. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be shocked by this sound, as if they had dispersed a little.

A group of people slowly gathered over and surrounded the girl. Looking at the Huangpu River, they fell into a long silence without making any sound!

At this time, the water waves were floating on the river surface, and more than a dozen floating corpses were rippling in a row, mixed with a pile of various things on the river surface. The swollen corpses soaked by the river water rotted and discharged gas, supporting their clothes to grow, expanding like balloons, drifting downstream. In the distance, on the wide river surface that was not clearly visible downstream, in the middle of the steamboats shuttled and passing, it seemed that there were more floating objects, rising and falling on the river surface, dotting the monotonous gray Huangpu River water surface.

"How can this be done, how can this be done?" The girl finally came back and cried with the help of the boy beside her, making a choking sound that was unexplained!

"This is Shanghai! This is Huangpu!" The rickshaw driver around him sighed, pulled up the rickshaw, turned around and left!

Time, the third year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty, 1910!

...

The backyard flower hall of Cai Naihuang in Shanghai Daotai was crowded with people. Several industry leaders who were business experts at this time sat on their seats, tilting their heads, seemingly admiring the decoration of the flower hall that combines Chinese and Western styles in the Cai Mansion, but their ears were erected like antennas, and they kept listening to the movements coming from the door of the hall.

The footsteps sounded, and the moment Cai Naihuang and Zhou Jinzhen, president of the Shanghai Business Association, walked in! A group of people stood up in a buzzing manner and surrounded him.

"Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai! This time something big is going to happen in Shanghai! You can't stand by death and refuse to save me!" The voice was so miserable that Du Juan was crying and crying! At this time, no one cared about the demeanor and cultivation, and I just regretted that my performance was not infectious enough! It could not impress these imperial officials.

Chen Yiqing, the owner of Zhengyuan Money House, is a comprador of Maohe Foreign Company, Xinqichang Foreign Company and Lihua Bank. In addition, he also owns the Qingyu Yang Product Number and Zhengyuan Money House. In addition, many other money houses also have shares. At this time, Shanghai was in a mixed manner and had a strong fortune. He was the leading figure in the financial industry. But this time, even he suffered a heavy loss. The loss of millions of taels has already overdrawn his income in the next few lives. If he was helpless here, he would be forced to become a member of the floating corpse in the Huangpu River!

In addition, there are Dai Jiabao, the owner of Zhaokang Money House, and also the comprador of Deshang Yuxing Foreign Company, as well as Lu Dasheng, the owner of Qianyu Money House. At this time, the Chinese financial industry in Shanghai, the grouping of them accounted for half of them, and the same result was the same. They all came to find Cai Naihuang to save their lives.

"How is the situation? It's really like this. Can't even hold on to Zhengyuan Money House like this?"

"It's not just that, let alone the eight major money houses, even Yuanfengrun and Yishanyuan, if the court does not save the market, it will be the same. This time the rubber stock disaster swept across Britain, and even the British Empire has been flooded with corpses, and we are also affected by the fish!"

Chen Yiqing's words completely awakened Cai Naihuang. This man was quick-witted and always praised the officialdom for his flexibility and change. He was sent to take charge of Shanghai, a key vanguard of the Qing Dynasty's trading port at this time, and was no less important than that of the first-rank rank official in the court.

He also knew some of the reasons for this rubber stock storm. It was a hot topic in the past few years. Countless people thought they had discovered the money tree and made money crazy investments, but they didn't expect that the end result would be such a result! It would evolve so big and so fatal! The entire Shanghai business circle collapsed in an instant, and there were bankrupt speculators who jumped into the river to die! According to the yamen's servants, it was said that the rivers of the Huangpu River were silted by corpses!

The entire Shanghai financial institution practitioners are everywhere, starving and slaughtering, and are in a mess! If all the money shops and silver banks in Shanghai are collapsed, then it is not just Shanghai. I am afraid that countless national enterprises in the mainland with Shanghai's financial center as the core will be lying in a large area!

What's more, there are Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan mentioned by Chen Yiqing. These two banks are headed by Yan, the Ningbo Gang who was in charge of the business world at this time, and the other is the family industry of Li Hongzhang, the former pillar of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, the old prime minister of the Qing Dynasty. The two banks are so powerful that they are comparable to the national central bank, and even the tariff transactions between the Qing treasury are from these two banks. The complex shares in their hands involve the gray assets of most of the Qing officials. If these two companies collapse, there will be problems with the Boxer indemnity, and even the Qing Dynasty royal family will be in trouble. This matter must not happen!

With a few words, everyone already understood the current situation. Several people agreed to act separately. Cai Naihuang and Zhou Jinzhen went to Nanjing to ask their superiors for instructions. Chen Yiqing and others continued to contact each other, using all their strengths to delay time! Waiting for the rescue of the court.

Who knew that God would never follow others' wishes!

People with different levels of strength naturally have different actions in their perspectives on crises. Although the stock trend is a financial crisis caused by a global speculation boom, it is a bolt from the blue for many investors in the market, but for the strong financial tycoons in the market, it is another feast for plundering small and medium-sized capital.

Although the major overseas banks in Shanghai also suffered heavy losses, the hero immediately cut off his arm and passed the crisis to the downstream small and medium-sized banks, causing frequent bankruptcy of small and medium-sized banks, and then the market contracted and cleared the market. Although the strength was damaged on the surface, the increase in the market share of foreign banks caused by the reshuffle of the market is also a small benefit for future development, and it can even be said to be a small profit. The so-called crisis crisis is dangerous for most people, but if it is properly raised, it may still be an opportunity for some people.

What's more, in recent decades, the prosperity and development of the Chinese-funded national assets in the mainland has long been eyeing these foreign capitals. If the complete bankruptcy of Chinese capital and finance has caused these national assets that had just developed in the Qing Dynasty to be hit and went bankrupt one after another, the opportunities for acquisitions created by this created by the dips, and countless national industries that should have had a bright future will become the fat in the rich foreign foreign companies!

As a result, this stock crisis that occurred in Shanghai quickly turned into a large-scale harvesting operation secretly planned by foreign banks to Chinese-funded enterprises. As if they had agreed in advance, the major foreign banks stopped lending and borrowing Chinese banks and demanded repayment. For a time, the upstream trend came, and the debt crisis was like a flood and beast. The small Chinese banks in Shanghai were insolvent and fell one after another, causing a series of bankruptcy storms!

On July 21, Zhengyuan Money Bank finally failed to survive until the court rescued the market and announced its bankruptcy. Then, Qianyu Money Bank collapsed, and on the 22nd, Zhaokang and Senyuan Money Bank closed down; on the 23rd, Yuanfeng collapsed, and on the 24th, Huitai, Xiefeng and Jinda collapsed. Dominoes that collapsed in Shanghai's financial industry officially began to start!

Aftermath* and the mainland, industrial and commercial disasters in various places are coming! Six major economic towns including Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo have all been severely damaged. Take Zhenjiang as an example. In August, the four major business companies in Zhenjiang, Hengmuxing, Zhenyuanxiang Silk Store, Ruihebei Goods Store, and Ma Zhenji Silk Store were all washed away. Although many of the remaining industries and commerce were barely supported, they were already struggling.

In October, the large loans of foreign banks raised by the imperial court to rescue the market failed. Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan were in crisis one after another. The two companies lost tens of millions of taels of silver in total. The bank treasury was empty and the Boxer Indemnity was arrears. Everything had accumulated to the last moment. The industry and commerce across the country were looking forward to it, watching the national financial dam of Shanghai Beach be about to be broken, and the surging floods came in an instant!

...

Yan Yibin, Yuan Fengrun's boss, and the Ningbo Gang's boss! He was in his lobby at this time, sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, barely posing with the so-called graceful demeanor he pretended to be, but his eyes were staring at the hall door opposite, waiting for the footsteps of the visitor. This time, this was his last hope. A deficit of tens of millions of taels was in front of him. Under the pressure of domestic and foreign forces, even if it was just an undesirable life-saving straw, he would have to seize it at all costs. Otherwise, if Yuan Fengrun, who insisted on the national private financial industry, went bankrupt, the abyss of hell was in front of him!

He knew that the other party was not a good way. After all, if you can contact him with a force like Zhigongtang, the coefficient that can be relied on is absolutely not great. Although Situ Meitang is loyal and famous at home! After all, it is an overseas rioter, behind it is the rebel forces in Nanyang. Yan Yibin is a real red-topped businessman and the money bag of the imperial officials! It is incompatible with people like Situ Meitang! This time, contact with Situ Meitang is a big taboo for people like him!

But, he really had no choice!

...

Step, step, step, step! The unique crisp sound of Western leather shoes hitting on the marble floor, hit Yan Yibin's heart like a bell and drum! Awaken Yan Yibin from his hellish nightmare!

A few people turned around from the screen wall facing the lobby. When a man who was so arrogant and majestic in his prime was Situ Meitang of Zhigongtang. Behind him, a young man in a dress, looked through a few dozen meters and collided with Yan Yibin's eyes, and it seemed that a series of sparks suddenly appeared, which shocked Yan Yibin's mind.
