C1382 Jiangnan wool shearing (2/2)

The land was still so much land, the factories were still so many factories, the goods were still so much goods, the Jiang-Nan economy was still so big, if there was a war, no one would burn down the wealth.

The total amount of physical items was still that much, but the total amount of money on the market had suddenly disappeared by more than half. Of course, prices have plummeted, but no one wants to or can afford it.

The theory is simple, if you only invest 5 billion in the original 10 billion worth of the economy, then the obviously 10 billion worth of the account could only be sold for 5 billion.

Money was actually the target of human wealth. Money could not be eaten nor worn. It only had one function, and that was to ensure the smooth flow of human goods.

If the Great Qing or Kang Yong's three generations of Great Qing did not care, they could just close their doors and slowly resolve this crisis. The higher the market price of the goods, the higher the income of the citizens, the cheaper the goods and the lower the income of the citizens.

But now it's not the closed era, it's the era when the strong broke open the Great Qing's Gate. It's the era when they were half colonized, and your Jiangnan's silver currency had been accumulated, the foreigners have plenty of cheap silver!

While you are in the market making trouble for money and all the materials are cheap, these foreigners will enter the market and fight over them crazily. Your tea mountain is not bad, name a price, Master Yang will buy it.

Your winemaking workshop is not bad, you lack money? Come, come, come, come and sign an agreement with our bank. I want 60% of your shares.

Land, factories, goods, shops, farmlands … Countless tangible and intangible wealth would be swept away by the foreigners in this storm. On the surface, many of the deals were still old, but the distribution of shares had long since changed.

Hu Xueyan thought about the scene in front of him. The steak on the snow-white cloth was the meat of all the living things in Jiangnan. The blood was on the table, waiting for the knife and fork to fall.

Sitting opposite Hu Xueyan was the president of Citibank Asia, Heng Liwen. He smiled as he stared at his Chinese opponent who was as calm as a mouse.

”What about steak?” I remember you once said that you liked western cuisine very much? The Eli Cha Hotel is the earliest hotel in Europe on the Upper Beach. The dishes here are all prepared by famous chefs from Paris.

Hu Xueyan still could not eat, he put down his knife and fork, ”Let's get to the point! It's impossible for you to let me betray the Great Qing, my Hu family has never had a traitor! ”

”No, no, no …” Did Mr. Hu make a mistake? I only want to deal with Xiao Letian, according to what I know, isn't your Beijing government also fighting with Xiao Letian? They want to do the same thing as us, waiting for the South Ticket to crumble! ”

”Think about it carefully. If we squeeze out Xiao Letian's power, who would have the advantage? ”Of course, it's the imperial government of Beijing!”

”So, cooperating with us is equivalent to cooperating with Beijing's imperial government. Our interests are the same!”
