Chapter 236 Shanxian Youpeng's Strategic View

At this time, a new wave of discrimination and vilification against China is breaking out on a large scale in China. If we can't laugh at China's national strength, we can only work on the shortcomings of people and various national cultures.

Opening the Japanese newspaper, everyone who sees the word "China" and the pictures on it are lame Chinese. Even if there are photos, they are extremely poor people, even old photos ten years ago.

In addition, whether it is Mongolia, Northeast China, Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province, Gansu, Ningxia, Yunnan... or even Guangxi and Taiwan, this media is said to be a colony occupied by the Chinese people. Representing advanced ideas and culture, I have the obligation to let these regions read.

In a word, China is China, which is an ugly and despicable race.

In this trend of thought, the vast majority of Japanese generals and soldiers did not treat the Chinese as human beings, so there was the outbreak of various massacres later.

In addition, many high-level generals also learned a kind of experience from the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - that is, as long as they continue to slaughter the Han people, they will definitely scare the Han people, and finally reenact from the Japanese Empire to the main Central Plains.

Man can do it, but why can't it be done?

This is the essence of Shanxian Youpeng's lifelong thought, the father of military nationalism.

Although China's national strength is very strong, how can the national strength of the two sides be directly proportional before entering the customs?

Youpeng of Shanxian firmly believes that China's national strength is just a false number, which makes no sense. War is a world that belongs to men, and I can completely defeat China.

Even if Japan alone can't defeat China at once, they also have two allies, Russia and France. Even if these two allies do not plan to participate in the war, Shanxian Youpeng is ready to forcibly drag them into the war with only one goal - that is, to prevent China from continuing to grow, and to split China into multiple as much as possible. Small countries that are gradually annexed.

Japanese soldiers, including friends from Shanxian, have always had a strange judgment about the war, that is, the victory of a key battle is the victory of the whole war, which is a very common reality in the history of ancient and modern war.

For the last Sino-Japanese War, they also wishfully believed that the failure of the navy's first raid and the defeat of the Dongdan Campaign were the reasons for the defeat of Japan.

China has no such idea. Whether it is the Battle of the Long Spoon, the Battle of the Red Cliff, or the Battle of Water, due to the vast population and size of China, it is difficult for a battle to determine the final result.

The strong of the country will always win... This is the Chinese people's war thought.

The strategic ideas of the two sides are different, and then there are different preparations for war.

Under the leadership of Youpeng in Shanxian County, the army is implementing the strategy of elite soldiers and wide soldiers on a large scale, with the intention of crossing North Korea, fighting directly with the Chinese army in the northeast, annihilating the elite main force of the Chinese new army, defeating China's fighting spirit in one fell swoop, and trying to make China give up resistance from now on.

Under the leadership of Hu Chuyuan, China is still the same as the two wars in the past... It does not intend to have a decisive battle at all.

Not only this, Hu Chuyuan also sold five-year treasury bonds on a large scale in China, in various banks and commercial banks in China, with an annual interest rate of 5.5%, and the total number is confidential.

The assets held by the Hu family around the world, especially the silver mining business, began to cash out in large quantities in exchange for the francs held by various countries.

Through private relations, Hu Chuyuan also persuaded some other international investors to hold francs and prepare to sell at a critical time, causing the French economic crisis, and then bottoming out the French economy.

Hu Chuyuan's plan is comprehensive. Once he wins the war, he will immediately change the financial system of China and major colonial countries to gold standard with the help of the war compensation of Russia and France.

A financial turmoil in the world will be inevitable. As the world's second largest trade surplus country, China will definitely be hit, but it doesn't matter. He is ready.

Crisis is usually an opportunity, as long as it is handled more appropriately.

The logic of Chinese people's thinking is very terrible. The most terrible thing is that the Chinese people's unit of calculation is ten years, thirty years, fifty years, or even 100 years.

As a businessman and a politician, the horror of Hu Chuyuan is precisely here.

JP Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Mellon and the Rothschild family can all be regarded as his opponents, but he has never eagerly tried to defeat anyone, nor did he have excessive contact and bad relations with these people.

Because he knows that time is enough for him to overcome everything, but this time is not ten years or twenty years, but fifty years.

As a real businessman and a real politician, you must be calm for as long as 50 years.

At least this time, Hu Chuyuan plans to spend ten years fighting a larger-scale economic war.

When Marshal Aritomo of Shanxian began to mobilize the army on a large scale for the last pre-war exercise, he probably didn't expect that he was just a pawn.

For Hu Chuyuan, no one is not a pawn.

Because he is Hu Chuyuan.

In 1900, on the night of October 7, Hu Shiyuan and Hu Weiyuan quietly took their families to the Zizheng Garden. It seemed that this was just an ordinary family meeting.

Of course not, because Hu Yuyuan and Hu Pinyuan also arrived a few days earlier.

The five brothers met again, and more than a dozen general manager of the five companies waited in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tianjin and Singapore, and their partners were scattered around the world.

After the dinner, Wu Shuzhen, Pan Limei and other ladies gathered together to play mahjong and chat. The children continued to play in the hall, and the children of the older fourth generation of the family chatted in the flower hall, talking about their studies, the family's industry, and the crisis facing the country.

Hu Chuyuan took the lead, and the five brothers secretly entered the study and sat together.

Hu Chuyuan is the head of the family. He is responsible for making tea and distributing tea. Everyone drinks a cup and half drink.

After waiting for a moment, Hu Yuyuan first asked, "Brother, the London stock index has plummeted, and the market value of many companies under Taikoo Yanghang has fallen by more than 30%. What should we do now? Do we need to cash out the trend?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "Let the brothers come over today. We're not talking about this little thing."

"Oh?"

Hu Qianyuan and others were slightly shocked. The four subsidiaries of Taikoo Yanghang were listed in London, New York, Singapore and other places. A few months ago, the total market value was 1.47 billion pounds, which is also one of the largest international conglomerates in the world.

If its market value is stable, Hu Chuyuan can easily cash out 100 million pounds from it and convert it into a liquid yuan to buy treasury bonds in China.

Hu Chuyuan said cautiously: "The collapse of the market value of Taikoo Yanghang is mainly due to investors' concerns about the outbreak of a large-scale war in the Far East, especially when the vast majority of people believe that China will eventually be defeated. As long as the war is won, or no war breaks out, its market value will still recover. Don't pay too much attention to this. What I'm talking about today is something else. You listen to me once today and keep it in mind. No one is allowed to tell the outside world. Only we know it.

"Dayuan, don't worry."

Hu Shiyuan answered first, and the other three brothers also nodded silently. The four of them looked extremely serious.

They understand that Hu Chuyuan's plan to toss around this time is very big and important, so even the general manager of each family can't know the specific situation.

Hu Chuyuan continued: "Two brothers, the second brother and the third brother, to tell you the truth, we are definitely going to war with the Allies. Although the conditions offered by France are not difficult, they are only compensation of millions of yuan. The conditions of Russia cannot be negotiated at all, especially the Japanese capital. Nine times out of ten, it is said that I would be the first to do it.

Everyone was surprised to hear this again, but seeing that Hu Chuyuan was calm and did not take this matter as a big thing, he was even more nervous.

Why does the Hu family take Hu Chuyuan as the head? It's not because he is too rich or too powerful, but because he is too powerful.

Don't think that Hu Chuyuan has been away from the mall for so many years, and his business skills have become weaker. On the contrary, his vision is getting longer and longer, and his courage and courage are even more terrible.

Hu Chuyuan drank tea steadily, and after a while, he continued flatly, "This is a small matter. In three or four years, the court will definitely win... We are almost ready to do what we should do. Don't worry too much. The key is that once we win, France and Russia will face huge compensation. If we don't pay compensation, we have to cede the land. Naturally, we have to change from the silver standard to the gold standard.

"This...!"

Hu Zhenyuan was dumb for a moment, and then said, "Brother, in this case... the impact is too big, isn't it?"

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and did not deny it.

With the continuous development and prosperity of China's economy, especially when the rich countries in Asia and the Americas control more than 70% of the world's silver production, silver prices have been rising steadily. The current London international standard exchange rate is already 1 ounce of gold to 15.3 ounces of silver.

In the past few years, silver-based countries, banks, and a large number of silver-holding financial institutions have made a lot of money. Those silver-based countries have also maintained the silver-based standard, including India, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Japan, South America, and even the United States. Abandoned silver standard.

But one thing is certain: more than 40% of the world's silver reserves are in China and the Chinese private sector. Once China announces to abandon the silver standard, the world's silver price will certainly face an unprecedented plunge, and China will suffer the greatest impact and loss.

This is precisely the reason why investment experts around the world believe that China cannot give up the silver standard, and also the reason why they continue to invest in silver.

Hu Chuyuan said to Hu Zhenyuan again, "Our appetite is more than what you think. Before that, if the French economy has gone bankrupt and the price of French treasury bonds avalanche, what kind of chain reaction do you think will happen?

"This...?"

Hu Zhenyuan frowned slightly and thought about it in his heart. After a while, he said, "Brother, this risk is too big. Think about it, the risk of running France itself is very high, and the cost is very high. Once the French economy goes bankrupt, French capital will inevitably shrink sharply, which will affect the whole world. The loss of our brothers will not be too big, and your capital is mainly concentrated in Germany and the United States. The loss must be very large.

Hu Chuyuan didn't care and said, "After all, the loss is abroad... Money? As long as it is not exchanged for gold and silver, it is just some numbers. If you lose today, you can still earn it back tomorrow."

paused.

He added, "It's still a long time, and there are still three years left for us to slowly cash out. I have calculated this. Once the Allies and us go to war, the regions that really have a greater impact will be the northeast and the northwest, which are not the main development areas of China's economy. As long as China can still control maritime rights, there will be no problems for the world economy. Moreover, with the large demand for military materials from the participating countries, there is a non-cyclical expansion stimulus to the world economy.

Hu Weiyuan asked quietly, "Dayuan, you mean to cash out at the peak of stock prices in London and New York, exchange them into gold and pounds, and hoard them to wait for the economic crisis."

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said to the four brothers, "I have a bottom line here. Electric motors, mechanical vehicles, and petrochemicals are not our main targets of cashing out, focusing on cashing out in other fields. We are going to start shrinking the front now, waiting for the opportunity to reshuffle the cards.

Hu Zhenyuan immediately asked, "What should I do about Taigu Yangxing?"

Hu Weiyuan also sighed with difficulty: "Taigu Yangxing is a big problem!"

"Hmm!"

Hu Chuyuan did not deny it.

The assets of Taikoo Yanghang are very large. The group is mainly engaged in international commodity trade and investment, involving gold, silver, coal, iron ore, petroleum, copper, aluminum, nickel, vegetable oil, sugar, silk, cloth, corn, cocoa and other fields.

The parent company of Skoo Western Bank is Scient International Holding Company, which is also the soul of the entire Scient system. It controls Scient International Shipping, BHP Petroleum Mining, HSBC, Asia Pacific Telecom, Standard Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Marlboro Ocean Bank, British Telecom, British Electric, British Tea, Lipton Food Company. Many listed companies such as locks have made large investments in real estate, iron and steel industry, metallurgy industry, shipbuilding industry, chemical industry, automobile, electrical, chain department store industry and communication industry.

Through the listing of the four major companies of Skoo, Skoo Shipping, BHP, HSBC and other shareholding companies in London, New York, Paris, Frankfurt, Melbourne, Singapore and other places, even if the market value of some stocks has shrunk, Sikoo still has a total market value of 1.23 billion pounds.

In the past two decades, Hu Chuyuan's total investment in the whole Taikoo series was only 33 million pounds, and now he has a market value return of 720 million pounds.

From this perspective, he doesn't care about the current market value fluctuations.

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said to Hu Zhenyuan, "The proportion of Taigu's economy in the Asia-Pacific region is large. It is normal for the market value to fall due to the impact of the war. In the long run, there is still room for further growth of Taikoo stocks. Due to the need for long-term preparations, the political axe will definitely ease multilateral relations in the near future, and the stock market will pick up, but it should cash out at the high point and wait for the low point to appear before continuing to enter the market. For the capital of the ancient system, we must still hold it for a long time.

Hu Zhenyuan said, "If the low point appears, we can mortgage the shares of Taikoo to the bank and continue to buy more shares of Taikoo. Similarly, by using the internal mortgage of other consortia, we can also raise more capital for the purchase of treasury bonds and shuffle.

Hu Chuyuan basically thinks so.

It is unrealistic to completely cash out of the capital market. Although the risk is a little high, it is also the most realistic way to use the mortgage loan of the family-held financial institution and then use the loan to buy the bottom.

He discussed it carefully with his family, so that everyone could be ready to start to explore abroad and prepare for the future bottom fishing.

The most important point is that banks must secretly break away from silver capital, take advantage of the war period to flow silver out, buy stable treasury bond assets in gold-based countries to maintain value, and flow into silver-based countries for short-term value-added investment and speculation, fast in and out.

Through the exchange reserve institutions of central banks and commercial banks to exchange capital, they hold pounds, marks and US dollars, while francs and rubles are gradually cashed out to minimize the possible negative impact of war and financial turmoil on domestic financial institutions.

No matter how it is adjusted, Chinese officials and the private sector do hold more than 35% of the world's total silver reserves. The impact of the plunge in silver prices on China's total wealth is very huge.

However, short-term pain is better than long-term pain. This determination must be made. Otherwise, with the further rapid growth of China's economy, the resulting problem of national capital reserves will be more difficult.
