The report of the Shanghai Municipal Government was sent to the Executive Yuan of Jingdao at noon. At 2 pm, the Executive Yuan immediately invited a meeting to discuss the report sent by the Shanghai Municipal Government.

During this period, Qingdao was also very nervous because of the continuous theft cases in Beijing and the run of silver dollars in Shanghai, which took place almost simultaneously. Although it did not happen on Jingdao, Beijing and Shanghai were the two most important cities in China, both in the old time and space and in this era. If there was great turmoil in these two cities, it would have extremely serious consequences.

Although from the degree of harm of the incident, the continuous theft cases in Beijing were far smaller than the run of silver dollars in Shanghai. After all, it was only a few valuable items stolen, and the impact on social order and economic development was minimal. However, Beijing was a place that the East China government had just occupied not long ago, and its ruling foundation was not stable, and its prestige of the government was not established, so it could not withstand such an impact.

What's more, the war has not ended now. Although the East China Government occupied Beijing and destroyed the Qing court, there are still Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places in the north, and they are still controlled by the former Qing officials. Although the Qing court in these areas is not strong, war is not a joke. Even if a lion fights a rabbit, it must do its best. Beijing is the rear base for this series of military operations. Therefore, if Beijing cannot maintain stability, it will have a significant impact on the next stage of military operations.

The Beijing Regional Management Committee and the Beijing Municipal Government also know the interests. On the one hand, they strengthened the monitoring of the entire Beijing urban area, and on the other hand, they also actively investigated and tried to solve the case as soon as possible. Although the East China Government did not urge the case to be solved as soon as possible, it was also fully supporting and cooperating with the actions of the Beijing Regional Management Committee and the Beijing Municipal Government. Just yesterday, at the application of the Beijing Regional Management Committee, a group of personnel were transferred to Beijing and materials to assist in solving the case.

However, relatively speaking, the situation in Shanghai is even more serious, because Shanghai is the economic center of the East China government. Once the run run is out of control, it will definitely cause a serious blow to the economic development of the East China government. Moreover, foreign hostile forces will use economic means to continuously attack the East China government and curb the development of the East China government. Therefore, the Executive Yuan attaches great importance to the run-storing trend in Shanghai this time, and even makes a preliminary resolution. In the most extreme cases, all Shanghai's banknotes can be exchanged. The price paid for this is to exhaust all the silver reserves of the East China government.

Of course no one hopes to really get to that point, because if it really gets to that point, even if the East China Government wins, it will be a terrible victory. Therefore, after the report of the Shanghai Municipal Government was posted to the Executive Yuan, the members of the Executive Yuan agreed that this is a good idea.

After all, blindly providing silver dollar exchange is just a bad idea, and the response plan proposed in the Shanghai Municipal Government Report is indeed a good idea. Chinese people do have the mentality of following the herd. Of course, this is not the unique character of Chinese people. People of all ethnic groups in the world actually have the mentality of following the herd, but there are only a few differences. Hostile forces can use this to deal with the East China Government, and the same East China Government can counterattack in the same way.

However, after the Executive Yuan's discussion, the final resolution was that this time it was not only for Qingdao's support, but also for the Shanghai region to mobilize its own strength, which mobilized the help of veteran businessmen in Shanghai and local businessmen. Of course, Qingdao will also provide necessary help in this regard.

Shanghai is the most economically developed city in East China. Therefore, a large number of veterans are engaged in business in Shanghai, or have established branches and branches of their own enterprises in Shanghai. According to statistics, in Shanghai, there are more than 300 companies founded by veterans or related to veterans, of which more than 30 companies have assets of more than one million silver dollars. It can be said that this is a huge capital force.

To deal with the silver dollar run in Shanghai, of course, it is not just the government's affairs. Every veteran has an obligation and a responsibility to provide necessary help. On the one hand, it is because the entrepreneurship of the elders is inseparable from the support of the East China government. Now is the time for the elders to repay the government; on the other hand, whether they hold public office or not, the elders should be a whole. When the East China government encounters difficulties, they should unite against the enemy and work together.

Of course, the East China government has not only supported the veterans in the business field, but also vigorously supported the local national capital. After all, the number of veterans is limited. To develop the economy, it is necessary to cultivate and support more local national capital.

However, many veterans still have a certain reservation about local national capital. On the one hand, the local national capital has a close relationship with the Qing court. For example, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhang Shuhe, etc., they can even be considered officials in the Qing court, and at least they have an official hat. Zhang Zhenxun, who has a background in the South China, and Zhao Weizhong, who has been fully supported by the East China government, also has close ties with the Qing court, so some veterans are worried about them, which is not completely unreasonable.

On the other hand, from the experience of the old time and space, the performance of these local national capitals was indeed not very good at this time. Although they did make some contributions to the development of China's national capital, most of them were limited to creating several "firsts", and then there was basically no follow-up. Overall, these local national capitals basically did not attack in the face of foreign capital, and even became partners of foreign capital invading China, or buying and selling. According to the textbooks of the old time and space, the weakness and surrender of the bourgeoisie.

Of course, China's local national capital started later than foreign capital, and in the old time and space, the Chinese government was an extremely weak government to the outside world for a long time, and it was almost impossible for it to provide any support for the development of local national capital. This also made it impossible for China's local national capital, which was inherently innate and malnourished, to open a bloody road and occupy a place in the game with foreign capital. Therefore, it is inevitable that compromise with foreign capital and even surrender.

However, this bad impression of the local national capital of this era has always remained in the memory of most veterans. Although the strong rise of the East China Government in this time and space has provided a solid support for the development of local national capital in this era, the rise of the East China Government was too little after all, and it is not known whether the local national capital can stand up straight or trust the East China Government completely, so it is natural that the veterans naturally find it difficult for them to be completely at ease with the local national capital of this era.

However, the silver dollar run in Shanghai this time is a good opportunity. We can take the opportunity to test whether the local national capital in this era is really confident in the East China Government, and whether it can really stand with the East China Government in times of crisis, and with the support of the East China Government, the courage to let go with foreign capital is also a decision that those national capitals have value for support, and those national capitals have no meaning to support.

At 5 pm, the Qingdao Executive Yuan also quickly made a resolution and sent it back to Shanghai.

When I received a telegram from the Qingdao Executive Yuan, the Shanghai Municipal Government was holding a summary meeting today. According to the statistics of each bank today, the silver dollars exchanged throughout the day were as high as 1.1863 million. Although no foreign companies exchanged silver dollars, in the afternoon, four local commercial banks actually made an appointment to exchange silver dollars with the bank, and the amount exchanged exceeded 100,000 silver dollars.

Although the plan proposed by Li Songchen in the morning made everyone excited and seemed to see hope for victory, this heavy data still made everyone feel heavy pressure. It was expected that Shanghai's silver dollar reserves could support 5-6 days, but now it seems that it is a victory to be able to support the arrival of the next batch of silver dollars to Qingdao.

In this atmosphere, the telegram from the Executive Yuan of Qingdao came very much, because the telegram first affirmed the work of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and also stated that Qingdao would do anything to exhaust all the silver reserves of the East China Government, and would fully support Shanghai to win this battle. This statement was very important, and immediately gave the officials of the Shanghai Municipal Government enough confidence.

Finally, the Qingdao Executive Yuan also agreed with the plan proposed by Li Songchen, requiring the Shanghai Municipal Government to implement it as soon as possible. He also specifically stated that this time, not only should we mobilize the help of the elders, but we should also fully mobilize the support and help of the local industrial and commercial forces in Shanghai. However, he also emphasized that the local industrial and commercial forces in Shanghai should be mobilized mainly, but not forced. However, after the end of the tide of bank runs in Shanghai, local national capital that gives the government help should be rewarded and their losses should be compensated.

Although the message did not explain it thoroughly, Li Songchen still understood the purpose of Qingdao Executive Yuan at once. This was to define a position so that Shanghai's local industrial and commercial forces could also distinguish who is the friend of the elder and who is the enemy of the elder.

Although Shanghai has plans in this regard, not only has it begun to crack down on foreign trade banks and companies that exchange silver dollars, but also records local trade banks that exchange silver dollars, in essence, it is only targeted this run, and there is no excessive idea, and there is no test of using this incident to make local capital determine its position.
