Chapter 333: 0 Yuan Purchase of Guizi Corporation?
As the most prosperous area in China at that time, there were many companies opened by the Japanese in Shanghai.
As a semi-industrial country that has completed partial industrialization, Japan can naturally produce many industrial products that China cannot produce. Therefore, China is also a good market for Japan to dump its industrial products.
These companies were actually the tentacles of the Japanese invasion. Not only did they collect intelligence for the Japanese, they also sucked a lot of Chinese blood to support their war.
According to usual practice, the Japanese company's business would not be particularly good, but today is a little different.
Many people, holding military coupons in their hands, began to line up in front of the Japanese company, and began to frantically buy all kinds of needles, thread and daily necessities.
Military notes were depreciating at such a crazy rate that all the people were afraid to keep this deceptive thing in their hands, which once again accelerated the depreciation of military notes.
The fundamental basis of this kind of paper currency currently comes from the credit behind it. In fact, in this era, various items are still basically anchored by silver dollars, and the credit foundation of the Japanese currency has never been solid.
First, the Japanese military used promissory notes to devalue their currency by shorting them. Now, the panic of turning the banknotes in their hands into physical objects at the Japanese companies has caused the Japanese currency to devalue again.
It can be said that Inukai Ken dug a hole and buried himself.
After the Chinese people exchanged the military notes issued by the devils for all kinds of supplies, all that was left for the devils were these piles of waste paper.
The question is, what use do the Japanese have with this pile of waste paper that has begun to depreciate wildly?
In fact, the Shanghai residents queuing at the back were also very anxious. With the depreciation of the military paper money, the price changed every day. If they could not exchange the paper money in their hands for real objects today, it might become a pile of waste paper tomorrow, so everyone was very anxious.
When there are a lot of people, if they get anxious, disputes will easily arise, and disputes will lead to fights.
In front of the largest daily necessities company of the Japanese in Shanghai, two groups of people started fighting instantly because of two words of "what are you doing to me".
When the two groups started fighting, Inukai Ken, who was drinking tea in the teahouse on the second floor, immediately felt that something was not right. Once the situation became chaotic, it would be difficult to control.
This foreign concession is not the original Nanjing City, and we absolutely cannot use massacre as a means of protection. After all, there are still many foreigners watching in the concession.
Just when Inukai Ken was hesitating whether to transfer the gendarmerie from Shanghai to maintain order, the situation suddenly got out of control.
After the initial fight between the two groups, they inevitably encountered other people during the fight, so other people continued to join the battle, and the whole situation became more and more chaotic like a chain reaction.
Someone shouted, "Brothers, these damn Japanese are using paper money to fool us, what else can we buy?
Just robbed his mother!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet for a moment.
Even the groups of people who were fighting fiercely just now became quiet at this moment.
Suddenly, the silence of the moment was broken.
It was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, causing it to boil instantly.
The group of people who were originally fighting fiercely stopped fighting in an instant, and all of them poured into the small company like a tide. No matter what cotton, linen, satin, rice, flour, grain or oil, as long as it was something within reach, all of it was taken into the hands of these people.
The scene was complete chaos, with everyone rushing to take away everything they could see.
Inukai Ken was on the second floor and was completely stunned when he saw this scene.
What the hell is going on?
Is this all just robbed?
Without any hesitation, he jumped up from his chair and quickly notified the gendarmerie through internal channels to come and suppress the situation.
But it was almost too late.
The Chinese people, who were already extremely angry, didn't care about so many things anymore. The Japanese's largest joint-stock company in Shanghai was completely emptied out, and even the door frames were removed.
If it weren't for those Japanese members who were desperately protecting the female members with their pistols, these female members would probably have been taken away by the angry crowd.
When the Japanese gendarmerie arrived, the largest store in Shanghai had been looted, and not even the door panels were left.
Inukai Ken looked at the inside of the house from across the gendarmerie and took a deep breath.
If this shop is compared to an hectare of farmland, then the shop now looks like a wheat field that has experienced a locust plague, completely bare.
Inukai Ken was truly aware of a problem at this time. Although China had lost a large amount of territory under the iron hoof of the locust army, and hundreds of millions of Chinese people were crawling at their feet, seemingly having been conquered by the locust army, behind this submission was an unsuppressible raging flame.
Thinking of this, Inukai Ken couldn't help but shudder. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if these people crawling at his feet were reignited.
That would be spectacular, but it would be extremely terrifying for the locust army.
Because the people in Shanghai acted quickly, by the time the gendarmerie arrived, everyone had already dispersed, leaving only military notes on the ground, some torn into pieces and some still intact.
The ground was in mess.
Inukai Ken stood on the periphery and saw the ground covered with military notes trampled under the feet of the Locust Army soldiers. He felt it was extremely ironic to see the Japanese soldiers' boots stepping on the military notes.
While he was still in deep thought, the Japanese gendarmerie came over with a young Chinese man, and the gendarmerie captain kicked the young Chinese man to the ground.
"Baga! Who told you to cause trouble here? You dare to steal the locust army's things, are you looking for death?"
The young man had been beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and his gums were covered in blood. He opened his mouth and said, "You devils are only allowed to fool us with these shitty paper money and secretly rob the Chinese people of their hard-earned money, but we are not allowed to rob you?
How long have you been robbing us since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895?
We just robbed you once!
Oh, that's not right. Our China is a country of etiquette. Why would we rob you bastards?
We just buy it for free!
Tui!
The young man turned his head and spat at the Japanese gendarmerie captain in a very awkward posture.
It's harmless, but very insulting!
boom!
The gendarmerie captain's gun fired.
