In the early morning, the sound of pigeons breaks through the sky of the four nine cities in Beijing. The sound of pigeons in the early morning may be the characteristic of this city. It is like this year and year after year. In the writings of some literati and poets, the sound of pigeons seems to have become a symbol of Beijing.

However, unlike in the past, even though Beijing has passed the late spring and entered midsummer, the air in Beijing still makes people feel a bit cold and bone-bone-broken. The reason is very simple. The "rumor" that people have been worried about has finally been confirmed - Prime Minister Li Yu attacked!

The official news not only confirmed this previous "rumor", but what is even more worrying is that a newspaper in Tianjin reported that "Prime Minister Li has returned to Lianyungang on the "Pinghai" warship."

"Build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!"

At this moment, people finally thought of an idiom that has been around for a long time, and they also know why Li Zhiyuan was in Tianjin, as if nothing had happened, and was attending the completion ceremony with the President with a smile on his face. Then he visited and inspected again. After a long time, he had been waiting.

you do not say!

In Tianjin, there are only three and a half divisions of Jiangsu Army, and some border guards and local provincial troops have been mixed. Although they have formed five divisions, they are mixed with sand. It is obviously unreliable, at least unstable. If he shows it, the president will have almost thirty divisions waiting there, and he has no chance of winning.

Going south to Jiangsu, the way through Hebei and Shandong is also not safe. If you want to return safely, you may have to find another way for him. There is only one at sea, but in the past year, Prime Minister Li offended all the foreigners. Those foreigners were eager for him to step down, so how could they help him?

So, naturally, he sent the "Pinghai" combat ship from Qingdao. Before the "Pinghai" combat ship arrived at Dagukou, he waited and kept pretending not to worry about it. It seemed that the President really believed it. As soon as the "Pinghai" stopped at Dagukou, the President was stunned. You must know that the Dagukou was fighting since Gengzi, but the fort was broken clean at the request of foreigners. Without the fort, no one could stop the "Pinghai". So the President hurried back to Beijing, and the first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to meet with the General Chief of the Army.

And what about that?

Prime Minister Li was calm and calm and boarded the "Pinghai" and took a big ship. This time, it was probably a lot of danger.

Moreover, in the capital, many people said something: the president will definitely lose, for two reasons. First, the president transferred the army to Shandong and other places, and probably hadn't started fighting with the Jiangsu Army. The army naval team there escorted the army from Dagukou and headed straight to the capital. At that time, what would the president fight with him?

If the President surrenders in Beijing, what can I do if there are millions of troops on the front line?

For a time, when the people in the capital were fluctuating, some flexible eyelids had already begun to think about a way out and prepare to welcome the "new master". However, those people from all walks of life who were originally gathered in Beijing were worried about the chaos in China. For a time, electricity was everywhere, just to persuade the president that the prime minister should put the overall situation first and should not act in anger. What's more, some people began to invite friends to go to Lianyungang to lobby Li Zicheng to put the overall situation first.

"President, aren't you worried?"

Looking at the calm and composed president, Liang Shiyi said with concern.

In the eyes of the outside world, Yuan and Li broke up. At the beginning, Liang Shiyi was also shocked by the news. But after the president invited him to Tianjin, he realized that this was just a "robbery" set by the two of them, and why was this "robbery" done? It was just to rob "Shanghai foreign merchants and wealth"...

Two days ago, the government bonds began to collapse, and now, the price of government bonds has plummeted. The manager of the Shanghai Branch of the Bank of Communications mentioned in the telegram that the Shanghai Bund is still a foreign banker in Shanghai, and ten banks have gone bankrupt. Among them, many banks have also collapsed. Even large foreign banks like HSBC have suffered heavy losses in this "treasury speculation". As many as hundreds of branches have been closed across the country. This time, not only foreign banks that have monopolized Chinese trade have suffered heavy losses and have gone bankrupt in large quantities, but even those foreign banks that monopolize Chinese finance are unbearable and are in a shaky state. It can be said that they are just a short stop.

On the contrary, Bank of Communications made unprecedented profits this time. Although the more than 70 million yuan of government bonds were purchased at half price, they were only "half-gao" in nature. But now Bank of Communications has obtained more than twice the profit by selling government bonds. It can be said that this time, Bank of Communications not only ate a bite of fat from those foreigners, but also the fatty oil was a little unstoppable, and too much profit was worrying.

The reason why we can make this unprecedented profit is because of the drama played by the President and the Prime Minister. Without this bitter plan, how could the government bonds that had risen crazy under the manipulation of those foreigners plummet?

But if this bitter plan becomes true...

Although he had a prejudice against Yuan Shikai, if Liang Shiyi wanted to choose, he would still choose Yuan Shikai instead of Li Zicheng. After all, he had decades of friendship with the former, but he had little friendship with the latter. Moreover, he could not agree with some of the practices of the State Council. There were too many clauses there to treat people as "criminals". In Li Zicheng's words, "Defending officials is like guarding against thieves!", "The thief is a disaster for a family, and the official is a disaster for a country, so you have to be careful!", the way to treat officials as thieves is no less than torture for him. Of course, what is more important is that if Li Zhiyuan was in charge, he might not be able to appoint "old Beiyang" like him, at least he would not trust him.

Therefore, after thinking about it, as Li Zicheng was about to arrive in Lianyungang, he naturally became unable to sleep or eat. In contrast, he noticed that the president seemed to have no reaction and did not threaten Li Zhiyuan's return to his "old nest".

"Yan Sun, you only see a little!"

After taking a sip of ginseng tea, Yuan Shikai said calmly.

"I only see "turning the tiger back to the mountain", but I see "destroying his name by himself"!"

As he said that, some heartfelt laughter came out from the face of Yuan Shikai. If Li Zhiyuan had directly boarded the warship and returned to Lianyungang before the two of them played in Tianjin, he would have been more worried than Liang Shiyi, but now, he didn't need to worry at all.

"Yan Sun. Look at the newspaper. Most of the electricity sent to this newspaper advised Li Zhiyuan to put state affairs first and not to do anything alone. And there were people who wanted to form a group to go to Lianyungang to lobby Li Zhiyuan. It can be said that now, Li Zhiyuan is the subject of thousands of people, and this president..."

With a smile, Yuan Shikai half closed his eyes and lit the table with extremely relaxed hands. It seemed that he was lit up the scene there, all of which were extremely leisurely.

"The President..."

Looking at the President's leisurely look, Liang Shiyi felt anxious. The newspaper belonged to the newspaper, and the electricity was on, but in the end it was not strong enough to speak.

"Yan Sun, you don't understand Li Zhiyuan!"

When talking, Yuan Shikai sighed. Not to mention that Liang Shiyi didn't understand him, even Yuan Shikai would not see through Li Zhiyuan. The late-night conversation between the two in Tianjin gave him some new understanding of Li Zhiyuan. The reason why Li Zhiyuan was unable to see through was that he had too few selfish thoughts.

Selfish!

Everyone has it, how many people can harm themselves for the sake of public opinion? There are too few people who would rather bear a bad reputation than do something for the state. If so, if Li Zhiyuan could always be so public, he would be a......

Thinking of Li Zhiyuan's behavior of destroying his name in order to "avoid years of hard work ruining it", Yuan Shikai felt a little guilty about him. Perhaps, from the beginning, he was like Liang Shiyi, and he had already grasped others' hearts!

"President, Shi Yi doesn't know much about Li Lianyun, but he knows..."

The voice was slightly suppressed, and Liang Shiyi said something.

"This power is still a good thing after all!"

There were still some other hidden meanings in Liang Shiyi's words, but he just clicked at this moment, and then he looked at the slightly stunned president and added.

"Even if Li Lianyun holds the Lord this time, who knows whether he will be in the future..."

While pondering, Liang Shiyi stopped talking to the lower part. Listening to his unfinished words, Yuan Shikai was silent. After pondering for a long time, he said in a very affirmative tone.

"This time, no matter what, I, Yuan Xiangcheng, will not mobilize the army and make the world laugh at me!"

When he spoke out a sentence, Yuan Shikai felt that the air pressing under his heart seemed to dissipate with the sentence. What was that air? He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he knew that this time, he would compete with Li Zhiyuan, compare his public heart, and compare his openness.

The reason why he is so sure is that in Yuan Shikai's opinion, perhaps this is the only thing he can do now, and it is also what he must do to "hold a high attitude". Since he wants to pretend, then pretend to the end!

"Yan Sun, now, that matter is almost over. If there is still profit after the end, let's see, if the factory needs money, give them a low-interest sum. This country is very powerful! Li Zhiyuan can see this thoroughly and farther. We have to learn more from others!"

After some advice, Yuan Shikai closed his eyes and then added.

"With greed against integrity, greed for integrity, why not greed on the State Council? It's because people have money in their pockets! Okay, you go down!"

After saying that, Yuan Shikai picked up the teacup, but did not drink the ginseng soup in it. He just held the teacup, which obviously meant to serve tea and see guests off.

Liang Shiyi, who knew that the President was unwilling to continue talking about this issue, sighed in his heart and retreated. When he walked out of Jurentang and was about to get on the car, looking at the 326 sedan, Liang Shiyi couldn't help but shake his head, why are he Li Lianyun's things everywhere!

"Ouchu,"

Almost as soon as he entered Mu's office, a ball of flowers squeezed out on his face when Li Zicheng looked at him.

"This time, we made a small fortune!"

"Yes, I made a fortune!"

Mu smiled and poured a cup of tea for the Prime Minister. This time, the Prime Minister won the bet. To be precise, Zhou Zuomin won the bet.

“The reform is done well!”

Li Zicheng's words made Mu Po nod. At the beginning, the company did not even intervene, and it was all relying on Zhou Zuomin himself to operate. Under his operations, not only did he win the bet, but Huaihai Bank also made a fortune.

"Prime Minister, Shanghai sends a telegram and its profit is probably more than..."

Mu stretched out a few fingers. Although he didn't explain the specific numbers of the profits in detail, Li Zicheng still knew what those three fingers mean. Thinking of the huge sum of money, he couldn't help but smile.

"It's time now, at least it's not short of cash!"

While saying that, Li Zicheng glanced at Mu and said.

"Tell Restoration. Get more fuel and try to beat HSBC and completely solve this financial vampire!"

Li Zicheng personally does not have much good feelings for HSBC. After all, HSBC has been cooperating with the British government for many years. It is probably more important to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy HSBC than to make huge profits...

"Of course, we can't let him pass by HSBC, not only HSBC, but also foreign banks involved in it, we have to kick them a few times before they can't ruin them. They are also kicking them a lot. Not only that, but more importantly, let the people know that these iron-clad foreign banks are impossible. As long as HSBC falls, it is estimated that the people will lose more than 300 million yuan in deposits across the country. In recent years, those officials and gentry believe in laymen but not the national bank. This time, no matter what, they have to reverse this unhealthy trend!"

When talking, Mu had a little ridicule on his face. Those high-ranking officials and rich gentry always like to keep their money in foreign banks. It seems that foreign banks make them more at ease, but they forget a little. Foreign banks may not be guaranteed. If foreign banks fail to speculate with depositors’ money, who will return their deposits?

"Not only that, Ouchu, what you want to see is that this time, these foreign banks have suffered heavy losses. Now, with the capital they have, it is difficult to control our economy anymore. More importantly, because of this, in the next few years, if we promote legal currency and replace the bank standard with a credit standard, we will not be under pressure from the great powers due to the interests of foreign banks. We do not need to be forced to make some concessions in order to promote the credit standard!"

While talking and laughing, Li Zicheng felt a little lucky. This time, Zhou Zuoming relied on his keen financial intuition to do something that would benefit the country and the people. If he missed this opportunity, what would happen in a few years?

After obtaining enough ammunition through public debt speculation, perhaps those foreign banks and foreign banks will start another financial plunder. At that time, I am afraid... shaking my head and secretly rejoiced in my heart, Li Zicheng vaguely felt that perhaps he should establish an institution to make various deductions specifically for the world's economic, political and financial development, so as to avoid missing various situations, such as his own appearance, the impact of China's rise on the world and geopolitical areas, and economics. After all, since he came to this world, the history of the world's development has changed accordingly, and history is no longer a matter of tyranny.

When Li Zicheng thought so, an institution of later generations, Rand Company, emerged in Li Zicheng's mind. Perhaps he should also establish such a company, such a public think tank, to provide consulting services for himself, the country, and of course, to enterprises.

However, what kind of talents does such an institution need? Obviously, relying solely on China's own wisdom and strength is far from meeting this demand, and we must continue to introduce intelligence from abroad!

intelligence!

Thinking of the lack of intellectual resources in China, Li Zicheng sighed helplessly. Although there are as many as 3,000 graduates in the first world of Dehua University, it is obvious that a country with such a large size is impossible to rely solely on one Dehua University. Moreover, thousands of university graduates every year are simply a drop in the bucket for China. Even if there are more than 20 colleges along the route and tens of thousands of graduates every year, how can one meet the needs of China for intellectual resources?

Sufficient intellectual resources are the fundamental guarantee for national industrial construction. When the country's intellectual resources are insufficient, the only thing that can be relied on is foreign technicians. Just like a company, he first came from the United States and Germany in the middle, and now he has hired more than 4,000 technical experts from various industries from the United States. It can be said that the company's technical department is simply "the world of foreigners". Not only the company, it is Dehua University. Among the most complete science and engineering universities in Asia, it is monopolized by foreign professors, especially German professors. Even the reason why Dehua University is still called Dehua University is that the joint meeting of professors, mainly German professors, refused to change the university name. Therefore, Dehua is still Dehua, and is still the university that "symbols the friendship between China and Germany."

Now, in the short term, in the next ten or even twenty years, China can hire foreign experts with high salaries as it is now, to solve its insufficient intellectual resources. However, in the future, the insufficient intellectual resources will not only seriously affect China's future development, but may also constitute the weakest link in China's comprehensive national strength, and will even affect China's national destiny in the next century. How much water can a bucket hold is determined by the shortest wooden board, and the shortage of intellectual resources is this short piece!

"Ouchu, how much money did we earn this time?"

"Um?"

Mu Weiwei was stunned when he didn't understand why Li Zicheng asked this question. At this time, he heard Li Zicheng say again.

"Calculate how much it takes to run a primary school, how much it costs to run a middle school, and colleges and universities. Let's take out all the money we earn this time - go run a school!" (To be continued)
