As soon as the news from the Empire Daily was released, the beach was like a sea of ​​sensation.

Many small citizens who have purchased rubber stocks in Langezhi were panicked. If, as the newspaper said, one is the money accumulated over the years is wasted, and the other is the suspicion of "breach". It is possible to confiscate the family and destroy the family. How can we not be in a hurry?

In desperation, the crowd was in full swing, and the crowd flocked to the location of Langezhi Company to ask for an explanation, and the person in charge came out to explain. But who could explain? After Mai Bian disappeared, Langezhi Company was already in panic and felt a sense of disaster. Who dared to come out to deal with it?

The more you dare not deal with it, the more chaotic the scene becomes, the more panicked the public's mentality will be.

"come out!"

"come out!"

First, there were shouting one after another, then there were screaming loudly, and finally there was a hard shaking of the iron fence gate...

The Indian Sans, who had red cloth wrapped around his head, rushed over, carrying a baton in his hand, and made a gesture to break up the crowd. If it were normal, the common people would definitely avoid them and would never dare to mess around. Sans also knew about this festival, so they pretended to be mostly in appearance, but they didn't have the attitude of taking action. But this time, many people's entire wealth was here, and even borrowed a large amount of rubber stocks that they bought after merging between relatives and friends. How could they give up easily? Therefore, although A Sans and their sticks were waving, the crowd refused to retreat.

"Why should we rush?"

"We are all shareholders of the company, and do we still have to catch up with shareholders?"

A few impatients have already started fighting with Asan and others. Although the Chinese are generally weak, Asan has only a few people. They can't resist the number of people. Soon, they are forced to retreat step by step, and the eyes projected by the opposite side are also particularly unkind - I have cut off my wealth path, and I will fight with you!

While pushing, half of his head was poked out from behind the iron fence, half panic, half anxious, and sweat was flowing down. However, it was Mr. Zhao, a Chinese capitalist at Langezhi Company.

"Mr. Zhao..." The crowd was in agitation, and everyone didn't bother to argue with Ah San and others. They rushed forward, and the iron fence door was shaking violently, and they might fall down at any time.

"Everyone listen to me, listen to me!"

"Mr. Zhao, some people say that Boss Mai Bian and the Revolutionary Party are making trouble. Is it a matter of the matter?"

"There is no such thing as this, don't listen to others spread rumors."

"Then why do newspapers talk about it?"

"That's a newspaper rumor!"

"Is it good to cheat people? The Empire Daily is a local newspaper. Is the newspaper run by the emperor in person still fake?"

"I...I..." Mr. Zhao was unwilling to come out. It was because several foreign directors and deputy managers in the city asked him to come out to smooth things out because they saw something big, but when they tried to smooth things out, they faced such a difficult thing. Is this problem possible for him to deal with in a mere capital?

He couldn't speak, and the sweat on his forehead increased. Later, he simply stopped talking and directly shrank his head back. With a "bang!", he closed the door.

There must be ghosts! Why are you running away without ghosts? The angry crowd became even more turbulent, and the scene was in chaos. With a whirlwind, the seemingly solid iron fence actually loosened and was about to fall to the ground.

But at this moment, the British patrol police arrived with a large number of people panting. With a command, the police baton beat the crowd. It turned out that when India's Asan couldn't control the situation, he went back to the police station to bring rescue soldiers. This time, he really beaten. Many people were caught off guard and were hit by several sticks. The forehead, forehead and nose bridge were bleeding, and they were flowing. Under such high pressure, the young citizens were still afraid of trouble and couldn't bear it, so they fled.

The police station dispersed the crowd, but caused a greater storm and wave.

The next day, the full text of the influential Chinese newspapers such as "Imperial Daily" and "Shen Bao" forwarded the full text of Mr. Shi Liangcai, the chief editor of the Times, "The Shocking Scam - I'll Peel the Skin of Mai Bian". The article started with Mai Bian's experience of coming to Shanghai, saying that he was just an empty-handed gold digger. He has developed to this day by relying on cheating and cheating. How could he have a slight legal and honest business record? What's even more amazing is that the article finally reminds everyone, "... A company with a profit of only 200,000 yuan a year, dares to claim to be 45% return? Isn't this a daydream? Is the rubber tree of Langezhi Company different from others, and the money flows out is not rubber?"

Many people who were blinded by the dream of getting rich felt like a blow when they saw this article. After this article, Shi Liangcai became famous and was known as a Shanghai branch.

He was quickly recruited by the Empire Daily and served as the mouthpiece of Jiangnan. The suffering masters of the past who had cheated and cheated all jumped out and poured out a lot of bitterness. What did they do before?

Almost at the same time, many rubber companies such as Germany, France, Italy, and the United States have published newspapers to defy the rumors, saying that the company has strong financial resources, and the Nanyang Rubber Garden can produce more than one million pounds of rubber a year, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres. It is definitely not comparable to a company like Langezhi. Please ask shareholders to panic. But this refutation is like adding fuel to the fire, which directly breaks the fake dough that can't be fake anymore - how many stocks have been sold by such a large-scale company? Isn't your Langezhi company just the scale of a bean sprout, and you dare to claim the number one in Nanyang?

I was dizzy, completely dizzy!

Soon, two shocking news came out: one source is unknown, but it was published in the famous "Sheng" in Shanghai, saying that HSBC in the UK charged up to 35% of the issuance fee when it was undertaken by the issuance of Langezhi shares.

Another one is confident, a German botany expert and an American geographic expert jointly declared that although the weather in Australia is hot, the rainfall is relatively small, and large areas of deserts are full of land, which is not suitable for rubber trees to grow.

Both news were published in newspapers in isolation, but in the wave of sweeping Shanghai, everyone couldn't help but connect it and think. Thinking of the content of Langezhi's prospectus last time, it was enough to make people sweat. What is the so-called Australian company not pure fraud? The 35% issuance fee further verifies the reliability of this fraud motive - to give the bank a 35% issuance fee and to give shareholders a 45 bonus, and the paid-in capital is less than 20%. What kind of company is this? Will it lay golden eggs? Could it be that Mai Bian has planted a money tree in the Nanyang Rubber Garden?

Countless people pointed the question mark at HSBC. HSBC was very tough at the forefront. First, it flatly denied the so-called 35% issuance fee; second, it refused to inform the number of deposits and general whereabouts of Langezhi Company.

The shareholders were angry. They dared to attack Langezhi Company and HSBC Bank, but there was always another way to think about it, right?

Zhao Bingjun was still lying comfortably in the easy chair, receiving the officials who came to visit in an orderly manner, receiving the red envelopes familiarly, and patting you on the shoulders with a smile on his face. But only when there was no one, the tall figure would come to inform him of the progress of the situation, and the glaring glaring like a King Kong all day would hand over newspapers or telegrams.

"Don't hurry, do what I said, take your time, we can afford to waste!"

The outside is overturned and I remained unmoved.

"If you are not surprised by favor and disgrace, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard; if you stay or leave, watch the clouds roll and unfold in the sky." - I have been an official for decades, and it is only today that I truly understand the meaning of these two sentences.

Some people are very leisurely, while others are anxious.

The shopkeeper of Zhengyuan Money House has been dying for several days - the money house invested two silvers to buy rubber stocks. Except for part of its own funds, most of the rest were deposits from the money house and even borrowed money from the Silver World Interbank. Ninety-five yuan was used to buy stocks of the fraud company Langezhi Company. Although the matter was not yet final, the risks had been suppressed like a mountain.

"what to do?"

"Check the account! Check the account!"

"But the company's manager said that Mr. Mai Bian was not here to investigate, and several British directors have left Shanghai."

"Damn it, if you can run away, the monk can't run away, the temple, I am the major shareholder, I'll just check it out."

"Big shopkeeper, this matter..."

The shopkeeper burst into tears: "People always die! I'll find out, I'll jump to the Huangpu River tomorrow, and I'll be a wise ghost even if I die!"

"Big shopkeeper." The second shopkeeper who went to negotiate fell to the ground, hugged the other party's thigh and refused to let go, "Let's ask them to withdraw, ask them to compensate, and ask them to spit out all the food..."

"It's too late!" a sigh.

Under the joint of several people's expectations, Chinese shareholders convened an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders overnight to exercise their powers, and revoked all directors except Mai Bian in accordance with the company's articles of association, and then formed a new fence board to request a record of accounts.
Chapter completed!
