Liang Jinglun once delivered a speech in front of the economic inspection brigade and students, saying that at present, the so-called financial institutions of the state include four banks, two bureaus, one treasury and one association, while the 20 people who secretly manipulate and control these eight bureaus and treasury committees hold the state's financial power and the lifeblood of the entire people.
These 20 people, under the banner of merchants and merchants, dressed in the cloak of the state, practiced corruption. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China's foreign exchange reserves were 500 million yuan, of which 330 million belonged to these 20 people.
So who exactly are these 20 people? Of course, it refers to the people who can actually control these eight bureaus. Let's take a look at these eight bankhouses:
1. A meeting, that is, the National Economic Committee
The National Economic Council occupies the highest position among these eight bureaus, and it is the joint headquarters of the four banks, and all four lines are subject to it.
2. Four banks, namely the Central Bank, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and the Farmers Bank of China
The central bank, the dominant financial center institution, has its head office in Shanghai.
Bank of China, a professional bank for international trade, has its head office in Beijing.
Bank of Communications was founded in the Qing Dynasty, and the head office was located in Shanghai in the late Republic of China.
China Farmers Bank, a professional bank for the development of the rural economy, was originally headquartered in Hankou and later moved to Nanjing.
3. Two bureaus, namely the Central Trust Bureau and the Postal Savings and Remittance Bureau
The Central Trust Bureau was established during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to promote centralized government procurement and was used to handle special trust insurance business. Headquartered in Shanghai, it is supervised by the Ministry of Finance and subject to the Four Elements.
The Postal Reserves and Exchange Bureau, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Communications, has taken over the exchange of reserves and funds from the former Post Office. The General Administration was established in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hankou with sub-bureaus. It is equivalent to another bureaucratic capital bank. Like the Central Trust Board, it is also subject to the Ministry of Finance and the Four Banks.
4. One library, the central cooperative treasury
The central cooperative treasury was proposed by Chen Guofu, and the capital was raised by the Ministry of Finance and the four major banks. The general treasury is located in Nanjing, and the provinces have set up sub-treasuries. The first library, like the two bureaus, is subject to the Ministry of Finance and the four banks.
After consulting the relevant information, 20 people should be the fiction of the screenwriter. They control the economic lifeline of the whole country and the destiny of all the people, but it should be noted that not all of these people who hold the economic lifeline of the whole country are corrupt officials, and some of them have made many contributions to the country and are also people worthy of our respect.
