Chapter 1991 Can't find a place to start
The Xin Chou Treaty created a total of 450 million taels of silver. This treaty was the highest amount of compensation in the world until 2020. Later, the treaty born in the two world wars was not as terrifying as the Xin Chou Treaty.
The Xin Chou Treaty has been paid back for a total of 39 years, and the person in charge of repayment has changed from the Qing Dynasty to the Daguo Party.
It’s really touching. For 39 years, even during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our Daguo Party insisted on repaying the loan.
If there were few countries that still required repayment at that time, and there was only one country left, that was Fusang.
That's right, even in 1939, the Anti-Japanese War lasted for 8 years (calculated from the invasion of the Northeast in 1931, the Anti-Japanese War lasted for a total of 14 years). However, our Daguo Party still insisted on repaying the loan to Fusang, and handed over the taxes paid by its citizens for the anti-Japanese war that they had worked hard to pay to Fusang, and used them to pay back the money.
In this regard, my Chairman of the University was very content and said that there were few people like him who kept their promises throughout history.
This is indeed true. In the face of enemies who are trying to destroy their country and the race, they insist on paying back the money to the enemy. This kind of demeanor of keeping promises is really impossible for others.
In the end, including various interest rates, the compensation of 450 million silver was paid in the end, and 980 million yuan was paid, so you could buy a pair of B station figures.
Back to the topic, the above 980 million taels of silver compensation was transferred to various countries through six banks, namely HSBC, Dehua, Daosheng, Huili and Zhengjin. Citibank joined last year as the handling of compensation for the United States.
Citibank also entered the Chinese market. It can be said that it is the first American bank in the world to enter the Chinese market. It soon established branches in major cities across the country, and later established a separate China Citibank. The relationship with China is indeed very deep.
If Citibank is only responsible for the compensation business, it cannot be said that it is so hateful, after all, the war was not fought by Citibank.
However, after Citibank entered China, it began to find ways to obtain various privileges, interfere in various internal affairs of China, and also actively provide loans to the warlords of the Chinese civil war.
At the cost, Citibank gained the right to intervene in various domestic industries and took advantage of the banking industry to plunder a large amount of funds from China.
At the same time, various banks also recruited a large number of compradors to work for them.
In addition, Citibank is also very interested in Chinese cultural relics. The famous Six Horses stone carvings were sent to the United States through the hands of Citibank.
In addition, Citibank even obtained the right to mint coins and was able to issue China's legal currency.
Of course, at that time, it was not only Citigroup, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and others who did such evil deeds did more good things. Many people may not believe that if these banks were not here, the warlords in China would not be able to fight.
Because warlords need money in melee, and you also need weapons when you have money. So where did these money and weapons come from?
Of course, they all come through banks. If they don’t have money, they ask these foreign banks to borrow, and then turn around and go abroad to purchase various weapons through compradors of these foreign banks to arm themselves. They feel that the borrowed money has never been in their hands, and they all return to the hands of various banks.
But how do these warlords pay back the money?
If the territory is rich, they will mortgage various taxes on the territory to pay, while if the territory is poor, they will simply sell various minerals to these banks.
You may not believe it if you say it. More than 90% of the various minerals found in China at that time had been mortgaged to banks in various countries. All the minerals in China are from other countries. If China wants to use the minerals mined from its own land, it still needs to spend money to purchase them.
Later, some people estimated that if there was no New China, then China would have no future.
Because all the minerals in China have been sold by the Daguo Party, if there were no New China, the chairman who kept his promise would definitely have bitten the bullet and admit it. Then all domestic resources will be deprived of them by foreign companies. At that time, Chinese people are not qualified to build low-end industrial chains such as production resources. Then where can modern China come from?
After all, Citibank is the only foreign bank whose name is published in the history textbooks of middle school students, which shows how great Citibank's reputation is in China.
And now, the news of Daqian's acquisition of Citibank suddenly came out, which was so shocking and proud to the Chinese people.
This shock and pride is no less than that of the Fusang people who bought the Empire State Building.
On the United States, Americans generally do not have much feelings or memories of Citibank, and they just think that this is a bank that was acquired. After being shocked, industry insiders began to re-evaluate Daqian's situation, and they were speculating how much money Daqian still had.
After all, according to their previous estimates, Daqian should be poor and only has hundreds of millions of dollars in cash left, but now he has acquired Citibank in one go, so Daqian's cash needs to be estimated from the beginning.
However, this incident made more people believe that Daqian should not have much money at this time, otherwise why would Daqian repay the loan in installments?
Why use the acquisition of Citibank to solve the problem of debt coercion?
This just shows that Daqian is actually out of money, and at least 100 billion meters was not used to repay the loan at that time, so he had to use this kind of side-to-door method to get rid of the crisis.
But although the crisis has been temporarily eliminated, Daqian's capital flow crisis has become even more difficult as he pays a large amount of cash to acquire Citibank. At this time, as long as he finds a way to give Daqian a powerful blow from the capital flow, Daqian will definitely be hit hard.
This is what many people think, and it is also what Rector Morgan thinks.
Under his leadership, the Morgan consortium has repeatedly suffered defeat in Daqian's hands. This is something that Rector Morgan could not bear, and it also greatly shakes Rector Morgan's foundation.
After all, Citibank is such a honest dog, but it was directly cheated into the hands of Chinese people and became a joke. This must have been Rector Morgan's command mistake.
But where can we continue to attack Daqian?
