Chapter 397
At the beginning of October 1910, the weather in Bingcheng had gradually turned cooler, and the gloomy clouds seemed to contain a mouthful of old phlegm from God, which was very depressing.But the sense of sight of the dark clouds pressing down on the city did not dispel the enthusiasm of the workers...

"Have you heard? Today the students from Hanyao Middle School are coming to our No. [-] Iron Ware Factory to sing a big show!" A yellow-toothed worker grinned with hope on his face.

"Old Clapper, what a big show! The Prime Minister said, this is to let the students get close to our worker group, it's condolences! Besides, don't be foolish, the students in Hanyao Middle School are all from the Prime Minister's side You dare to touch your heart, not to mention the Prime Minister, even I can't spare you!" A worker with a beard immediately criticized.He is a small leader of this group of people. At this time, it was the factory's noon break after get off work, and a circle of people gathered under the factory's newly repaired electric poles.

Three high wires, black!
Although it is a wooden pole, it also has the taste of modern civilization!The management of the factory took the cheap stones from the quarry outside the ice city and built a regular small circle 20 cm high. By mistake, it became a place where shift workers squatted together to brag and fart in their spare time.

In the past few years, when the Hanyao production area was not completely banned from smoking, there might still be clouds and fog.Things didn't happen overnight. In recent years, Hanyao has mainly focused on safety production, and these bad habits have been reformed step by step.

"Team leader, what are you thinking!" The yellow-toothed man looked aggrieved. Although he didn't look very good, he had a decent heart. Besides, "Who doesn't know that your daughter was admitted to Hanyao this year?" In the middle school and junior high school, I just appreciate it, the latest "Worker Weekly" said that the Prime Minister requires us to have a pair of eyes to discover beauty."

Beginning in September this year, Hanyao Middle School started the teaching of the junior high school. This is the preparation for the future of Hanyao’s primary school, which is why the number of enrollments has skyrocketed this year.In the future, there are two ways to enter the high school of Hanyao High School. One is to pass the night school entrance examination, which is relatively difficult, and it is suitable for students who have attended private schools and have received education; the other is to pass the junior high school of Hanyao High School.

Apparently, the news that Hanyao, the worker leader's daughter, was admitted to Hanyao Middle School was announced in public, which made this simple and honest man very bright. Beautiful eyes, those are for those schoolchildren, what does it have to do with you!"

"Why doesn't it have anything to do with me? I'm not the Hanyao people that the Prime Minister said?"

"Yes, yes, you are! But you are 34 this year, right? I heard that the matchmaker in Bingcheng told you about a marriage? Said you were 17?" The bearded man suddenly exposed the yellow-toothed man.

"The matchmaker said that Hanyao's men should be more mysterious, saying that it's best to keep half!" The yellow-toothed man is shameless. The matchmaking industry in Bingcheng is flourishing with the help of single men like Hanyao. .

Matchmaker's mouth, deceitful ghost!But one side is lying, and the other side is willing to be cheated, willing to fight and suffer, who makes the workers of Hanyao have a high income!

Maybe Yuelao is offline, and the God of Wealth will take care of love!No matter what era it is.

Speaking of which, the matter of drawing the red line for Hanyao workers was originally a task of Qiao Hongguo Workers' Union.But this matter, just like the big rivers insisting on squeezing into small ditches, the yellow-toothed men belong to the group that overflowed.

If you call the number and line up to go through the formal channels, you have to wait, but you can spend 2 silver dollars on the matchmaker, saying that the daughter-in-law is the way to find the "water" that overflows for yourself.

People from Hanyao should be a little more mysterious. Everyone who said it laughed out loud and took it for granted. They are all men with craftsmanship. They can work in the No. [-] Ironware Factory. Everyone is at the level of an intermediate craftsman. Not a brush.

The entry of students from Hanyao Middle School into the factory was a way for Zhu Chuanwen to balance after seeing the special status of Hanyao Middle School students in Bingcheng.

The students were held in the hands of Bingcheng people, Hanyao people, and the insurance team, so Zhu Chuanwen had to press down, forgetting his original intention and where he came from, that is, he lost his roots.

Rootless duckweed, it is the fate of drifting with the tide.

Don't talk about the present, it is the future generations. Whose family will go to the ancestors for three or four generations without planing food in the ground, what's the bullshit?This sense of superiority is not a seed that Hanyao Middle School students should plant. It is a weed that needs to be eradicated.

Since October, students from Hanyao Middle School have entered the factory art show and experienced life at work in their spare time, which has become a job for Hanyao students.

"Students, the No. [-] Hanyao Iron Works Factory is in front of you!" A young teacher's voice sounded with an iron horn, and suddenly clusters of workers who seemed to grow out of electric poles stood upright.

Many of them are the elders of this group of students, and they have to look like a mountain to support their families!

On the smooth road, the students came in orderly, full of youth and vitality, holding various musical instruments that shone with copper light.And Hanyao's workers all had fatherly smiles on their faces, watching the students walk by.Afterwards, they tidied up their clothes and walked in an orderly manner towards the auditorium of the factory, where they originally held the workers' meeting.

The program organized by the students of Hanyao Middle School is very ordinary in the eyes of later generations, but it is very novel in the eyes of the workers. There are sketches from operas, poetry recitations, etc. that they arrange themselves, and the finale is the finale.

A slightly youthful voice sounded in Hanyao No. [-] Ironware Factory, instantly making the workers feel unprecedented strength, accompanied by the rhythm of simple musical instruments:

……

"We Workers Have Power" is a song that Zhu Chuanwen created (copied) overnight after hearing about the music class offered by Hanyao Middle School, and revised the last part, changing the purpose to the pursuit of a better life.

This song was originally composed by the famous composer Mr. Mark in Jiamusi Power Plant, but now it was born in the land of Heilongjiang Province decades in advance.

When the song was over, the workers burst into cheers.

Afterwards, the song spread like a virus, and instantly sang throughout the factories in Ice City. Today's spiritual life is too scarce, and this song suddenly became popular.

Bingcheng is a place where new things are born all the time. People in Bingcheng do not reject such novel forms, and are even happy to integrate them in this way.

The people of Hanyao have a sense of mystery, but why not the people of Bingcheng who are mobilized?
The middle and high-level managers of each factory are also happy to see this kind of scene.In the constant evolution, sometimes, when doing unsophisticated work, if you don’t sing some nursery rhymes, you always feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Chuanwen was also overjoyed when he received the report from directors Qu Zhengqian, Chu Keqiu, Mao Guangting, and Nie Shize that all the factories were expected to be delivered by the end of the year to Gu Ansheng's orders from the Nanyang Quanyehui.

"Guangting, so this song really helped you a lot?" Zhu Chuanwen asked with a smile.

Recently, it can be said that double happiness is coming. Zhu’s grain store has completed a series of grain storage work, and vigorous housing construction activities are underway. Farmers from Qilu will surely survive the severe cold in the Kanto region in a warm home. Thighs have begun to thicken.

On the workers' side, after hearing that Xian'er's music class and art class had already started, Zhu Chuanwen felt for a moment that the plagiarized songs made the workers explode with unprecedented enthusiasm for work, which was something he had never thought of before.

"Yes, Prime Minister, your song is really helpful. The factories in the light industry system here have set new highs one by one!" Mao Guangting looked at Zhu Chuanwen with admiration on his face. What else is his boss not capable of doing? What about?
This is true for the factories of the light industry system, and it is still the case for the factories of the heavy industry system, mining, and transportation workers.

"Haha, that's good! In the future, we will need all kinds of songs, songs that praise workers, farmers, and insurance teams. As long as they are positive, we will start to promote them. This matter should be left to Qiao Hongguo. "As Zhu Chuanwen spoke, he began to write tasks for Qiao Hongguo. This is how he handles things, guiding things on the right path, and then he retires after he is successful, and guides him from the sidelines.

Qiao Hongguo's working ability is also really good, and a group of workers' union backbones under him have gradually grown up, shouldering Hanyao's infrastructure construction, workers' union work, and farmers' association work, gradually highlighting his importance in the Hanyao department in the future. The current ranking is second only to Nie Shize, the director of the guns department, who came last.

Mao Guangting watched Zhu Chuanwen write the list and hand it over to his secretary Zhao Dong, and then he talked about the purpose of this visit. "Director General, there is news from Shanghai that the Nanyang Persuasion Association will close soon. Director Gu Ansheng has already left Jinling City and returned to Shanghai!"

"What? What happened?" Zhu Chuanwen actually thought of something.

"Well, this is the detailed content." Mao Guangting said and handed over the compiled materials, and after Zhu Chuanwen finished reading, he said: "The pile of banks and ticket numbers in Shanghai still didn't listen to Director Gu's dissuasion. Nine foreign-funded banks including HSBC, Macquarie, Teckwah, Dawson, and Citigroup jointly borrowed 350 million taels of silver to save the rubber stock market crash?" This is a bit of a hateful statement.

"It's going to rain, ghosts who don't want to persuade you to die with good words, let them go." Zhu Chuanwen also sighed.

"Understood, Prime Minister. Fortunately, we were not too deeply involved with the bank of the Qing court before. We, Hanyao, have been cooperating with banks in the United States, Russia, and Japan. If we had deposited money in the bank of the Qing court Something big is going to happen!"

"The bank accounts of the Qing court are crazy. If we deposit our money, it will inevitably be embezzled by them! They are crazy now!"

"Yeah, the rubber stock market has exploded since June. Director Gu even reminded me, but... hey..." Mao Guangting shook his head and sighed.

The rubber stock market of the Qing court, since June, can actually be said to have experienced the first wave of ups and downs.

It can also be said that this is a matter of a British conspiracy, but unexpectedly, the Americans started to do it before the British in this matter, and the Americans put the British together.

In June 1910, the United States suddenly announced the adoption of a tightening policy on rubber imports. As the country that purchases the largest amount of rubber in the world, this policy directly burst the huge bubble of rubber stocks.

It took the lead in detonating the rubber stock markets in London and Shanghai, but the British can say that the bailout was successful, but why did the Qing Dynasty suffer such a huge loss afterwards?After Zhu Chuanwen read the information just now, he gradually gained confidence...

After the first wave of rubber stocks plummeted, the three major banks of the Qing court, Zhengyuan, Qianyu, and Zhaokang, were most involved. Many people were involved, and even Li Hongzhang's children and grandchildren were involved.And the craziest among them is Chen Yiqing. For the past two years, he has been in charge of the three major banks for stock trading, and behind Chen Yiqing is Shi Dianzhang, the general revenue and expenditure of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company.

The total income and expenditure, this status is not low, comparable to Xia Yuanzhang to Han Yao, and also equivalent to the CFO of later generations.

The construction of the Sichuan-Han Railway was funded by the common people and a group of officials and gentry. The 350 million taels in the books are actually completely funded by the people and controlled by Shi Dianzhang. The main manager is Xu Shichang’s subordinates. Sheng Xuanhuai.

This Shi Dianzhang deposited most of the 350 million taels in his hands into the three major banks of Zhengyuan, Qianyu, and Zhaokang related to Chen Yiqing. Using this huge sum of money as the principal, he began to issue bank drafts, that is, The leverage, which is well-known to later generations, leveraged tens of millions of silver in Shanghai's financial circles into the rubber stock market.

After June, the plummeting stocks made people who increased leverage suffer a lot. Not to mention that the three major banks that directly participated in the stock market lost the money they earned in the early stage, and the principal was actually very little left.

One glory and one glory.

The Sichuan-Han Railway Construction Company, the three major banks, and a series of officials and gentry became grasshoppers on the same rope. The principal of 350 million taels of silver was lost, and the future construction of the Sichuan-Han Railway and dividends for shareholders will become problems.

With the participation of Qian Zhuang, a family relationship belonging to the Qing court began to form a rope. With the efforts of many parties, the Qing court finally did not sit still.

Zhang Renjun, governor of Liangjiang, personally asked the central government of the Qing court to help.Soon after, the Qing court decided to use official guarantees to save the market.But this guarantee is another sum of money borrowed from foreigners.

Zhu Chuanwen asked Gu Ansheng to remind him not to borrow this money!After borrowing, it is really too late, but now, it is estimated that the money has been invested in the rubber stock market, which has stabilized the rubber stock market.

But Zhu Chuanwen knew that the real conspiracy started now...

"By the way, Director General, Director Gu actually asked me to ask this time, can we start to arrange the rubber plantation in Nanyang again? Moreover, now is a good time to buy bottoms in rubber stocks!" Mao Guangting carefully consulted Zhu Chuanwen Views.

"I think he Lao Gu is addicted to stock trading, and he is still buying bottoms? Why doesn't he dare to ask me himself!" Zhu Chuanwen laughed at this question.

Stock trading can make money, but the losses are even worse!Gu Ansheng can't stay in Shanghai anymore, Zhu Chuanwen thought, but fortunately, Hanyao's system prevents Gu Ansheng from following his own ideas, and Lao Gu's ability is indeed strong, so Hanyao should start the next step action.

"Electricity makes Gu'an ascend."

Zhu Chuanwen's words made Zhao Dong, the secretary who had been waiting at the door, come in at once, took out the notebook he had prepared at any time and began to memorize it.

"Telegram Gu Ansheng, started to finish the work in Shanghai, and set off for Hong Kong today, started to build Hanyao Wharf in Hong Kong, and established a good relationship with Zhang's Commercial Firm in Nanyang."

Gu Ansheng's communication skills are indeed good. He was able to get along with Russian businessmen in Bingcheng, and he got along well with British businessmen in Shanghai. It can be seen from the invitation of the British trade union building. Go to Hong Kong to open up territory for Hanyao.

In the future, Hong Kong will be the first stop for Hanyao to communicate with Nanyang. First, we will get through our own relationship, and we will talk about the rubber plantation later.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Zhao Dong went out to send a telegram after receiving the message, and Mao Guangting also left.

Zhu Chuanwen called Gong Yaodao, the mysterious secretary of Hanyao headquarters, over again.

"Yao Dao, Wang Keren was ordered by telegram to set off for Shanghai, and sit in the dark, watching the wind and grass in Shanghai."
