Chapter 110: The foreign powers are unhappy, the end, watch the Spring Festival Gala)

On October 6, 12th year of the Republic of China, the ICAC investigators were surrounded by coast guards, policemen and patriotic students and went to the General Administration of Customs to investigate, and the foreign employees involved in gambling had already escaped. On the day when such a big incident happened, they all ran away and ran into the British Concession and the French Concession to hide.

Now that's it, this further confirms the fact that Britain and France control China's customs behind the scenes and misappropriate Chinese customs tariffs. While reporting to the world that Chinese customs foreign employees embezzled tariffs, they sent personnel to the headquarters of the League of Nations in Geneva to sue. Wei Chen, the Chinese ambassador in Germany, formed the Chinese representative of China suing Britain and France. Wei Chen's group also understood that this was an excellent opportunity to regain China's customs autonomy. Since the loss of China's customs autonomy in the late Qing Dynasty, China has always lacked a truly perfect excuse. Now it has finally been found. You foreigners are corruption, which is the flaw you reveal yourself. Every time the Chinese government hopes to regain tariff autonomy, all countries have made an excuse for the serious corruption of Chinese employees to have a huge impact on China and world trade. But now, it can be said that it is a slap in the face of the four countries.

The headquarters of the League of Nations in Geneva also felt pressure. On the one hand, it was a lawsuit from the Chinese government, and on the other hand, it was a warning from the Bank of Four, warning the League of Nations not to meddle in other people's business in this matter - the League of Nations is a bitch, and whoever has money controls her how to play tricks on her posture.

Later generations, Chairman Chiang did not know the essence of the League of Nations, how could Wang Maoru not know that Wang Maoru had never thought of solving the problem through League of Nations. He used this incident to use media around the world to discredit foreign employees of Chinese customs and the four banks behind them, and prepared for his next forced recovery of tariffs.

On October 9, 12, the 12th year of the Republic of China, the China Independent Commission for Corruption discovered a huge scandal within the customs when inspecting customs accounts, namely, the interest rate of the tariffs of the Bank of Siguo was 50% above the normal savings rate. After calculation, it was found that the annual loss of the Chinese customs tariffs at the Bank of Siguo was as high as 4 million silver dollars.

On the occasion of Double Tenth Day on October 10, 12th, the Chinese Provisional Government Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi announced that due to the long-standing black gold transactions between the Four Kingdoms Bank and the Chinese Customs, the Chinese government officially regained China's customs autonomy today. China's customs tariffs will return to the hands of the Ministry of Finance, and the money owed to the Four Kingdoms Bank in the Boxer Indemnities will be repaid annually by the Ministry of Finance in accordance with the provisions of the "Bottom Treaty".

The first thing that happened during the National Day of the 12th year of the Republic of China was that the Chinese government regained China's customs autonomy with conclusive evidence, and the 23-year tariffs that have been controlled by foreign countries have never been there since 1900.

After the Chinese government regained the tariff autonomy of the Shanghai General Administration of Customs, it immediately announced that the new director of the General Administration of Customs, which belongs to the Ministry of Finance, is Zhang Yiwei, director of the General Administration of Smoking ban. Zhang Yiwei was also very excited when he received such an important task for the first time. There is no explanation for the importance of customs. Before Zhang Yiwei left, Wang Maoru only had three requirements for him: "First, customs must not be greedy, second. Customs must be tough, third, listen to Beijing's command at any time in Shanghai and do not make any small moves."

Zhang Yiwei smiled and said, "Master Marshal, please rest assured. No matter whether you are a Master Marshal or a President, Ji Xiu will definitely only listen to you."

After Zhang Yiwei arrived in Shanghai, he immediately appointed and managed the Chinese customs. He then checked and cleared the accounts, and jointly with the coast guard department to crack down on smuggling, especially drug smuggling, and confiscated a large number of smuggled goods and funds. Wang Maoru also supported Zhang Yiwei very much and gave him the rights gradually increased. Later, in order to increase the customs power controlled by Zhang Yiwei, Wang Maoru proposed to the State Council to increase the opening of foreign cities. The newly added open cities include Vladivostok in Dongji Province, Yingkou County in Liaoning, Lianyun City in Jiangsu Province, Xiamen in Fujian Province, Shantou City in Guangdong Province, and Haikou City in Guangdong Province. Six counties and cities were added as open cities, and customs were established to increase the window for Sino-foreign trade. So far, China has reached twenty foreign trade ports, and China has opened its doors to foreign trade. Just waiting for the victory of the fight against the epidemic, China will usher in a new era of trade.

After the Chinese government regained tariffs, countries complained. In particular, the Bank of Four had initially criticized the League of Nations, but now it went to the League of Nations to demand sanctions against China, believing that China's move was harmful to the recovery of the world economy. Wei Chen's group was waiting for the shameless representative of the Bank of Four in Geneva early, and immediately retorted: "I asked to see you in the future but you will not see you. Now I am skating against our internal affairs. I will harm the world economy? When will the World Economic Center be transferred from the United States to China? I have a customs in my hand last year.

The trade table clearly states that last year, China's total customs trade was only one thousandth of the total customs trade of the United States, and one hundredth of the Japanese customs trade president. I think it is not the Chinese government that hurt the world economy, but you four banks that hinder the development of China's customs? If you want to monopolize customs autonomy, you want China to become your colony and monopoly distribution center. If you want any other country's goods to enter which country, you must flatter you! It's so shameless!"

Wei Chen's group's words were shocked and the representatives of the Bank of Four were stunned. The representatives of the League of Nations were speechless. The tough-minded Wei Chen group scolded: "If you want to sue, you have to look at next year. If the trade volume after the regaining of China's customs next year is not as good as last year, it would be fine. If the trade volume of China's customs exceeds last year, it would prove that you are obstructing China's economic development, you are obstructing other countries' commodities into China, and you are engaged in trade monopoly!" He shouted to the League of Nations representative: "Dear members of the League of Nations Executive Committee, we China are willing to sue and are willing to continue. As long as the data is released at the end of next year, you can know who is the devil and who is the greedy Venetian merchant!"

At this time, Wang Maoru and Zhou Dezhong were drinking red wine and eating hot pot in the old house on Yanjing Avenue. The boy didn't know what his hobby was. He actually liked this combination, both Chinese and foreign, as if he was a Chinese rich man. After Zhou Dezhong had enough food and food, he smiled and said, "Master Marshal, why do you reward me?"

"What reward do you want? Be an official?" Wang Maoru asked with a smile.

Zhou Dezhong's head was shaking like a rattle and said, "You can spare me. You don't understand my personality yet. You are casual and contemptuous. If I become an official, I would be too restricted."

Wang Maoru said: "What reward do you want?"

Zhou Dezhong knocked on his head, as if thinking hard, and suddenly laughed: "I want to play a bigger and more exciting game, can I do it?"

"How to play? What to play?"

Zhou Dezhong said with a smile: "The name of this game is, play Dow Jones and play America."

Wang Maoru said cautiously: "The United States is not fun, it is a paradise for adventurers all over the world."

Zhou Dezhong spread his hands and said, "So, I want to go there to play. You don't think I am a person who can sit still, right? Grand Marshal, this requires money. How much can you support me?"

Wang Maoru thought for a while, smiled and stretched out a finger, and said, "You guess."

"One million?"

"Guess again."

"Ten million?"

"Guess again."

"One hundred million!"

"Continue guessing."

Zhou Dezhong smiled bitterly and said, "Master Marshal, don't tease me anymore, it won't be one dollar?"

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Of course not. I keep supporting you. I will give you as much as you want until you don't want to play."

Zhou Dezhong opened his mouth wide and said, "Master Marshal, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Wang Maoru said confidently: "You are only one trait that is far from others, that is patriotism. You regard the country as more important than life. Although you are full of cheating, you never do things that are sorry for the motherland. This is your nature, which you will never overcome in your life."

Zhou Dezhong laughed and said loudly: "Yes, people live forever and have a spring, and there is always a reason for him to survive. I am a bastard, and I am also unethical and smoked, but I have never done it in my life and will never be a descendant of my Zhou family in the future. What I will never do in the future are traitors and traitors!"
